2021 Fantasy Football Draft Prep: Drafting my best team from No. 10 overall in a 0.5 PPR league

I will be sincere, when you’ve got the tenth decide in a 0.5 PPR league, I am undecided you are going to have an excellent time. That does not imply you’ll be able to’t draft a winner, it is simply that the whole course of goes to be irritating. In full PPR this can be a good spot to check out Zero-RB, however that is a harmful technique when catches are price half as a lot. The most secure strategy might be to construct a balanced roster on this spot, although you’ll be able to’t be afraid to achieve with these even-round picks if you wish to get your man.

This draft slot in all probability signifies that Travis Kelce is your solely likelihood at an elite tight finish, and he went seventh in our draft, so I did not even get that chance. The uncertainty of the top and figuring out an elite tight finish wasn’t an choice made me extra open to securing a top-five quarterback in Spherical 4. No less than that method you understand you are forward of the sphere at one place.

Here is my crew from No. 10 total

1.10 Joe Mixon, RB, CIN
2.3 Stefon Diggs, WR, BUF
3.10 Chris Carson, RB, SEA
4.3 Lamar Jackson, QB, BAL
5.10 Kenny Golladay, WR, NYG
6.3 JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, PIT
7.10 Damien Harris, RB, NE
8.3 Deebo Samuel, WR, SF
9.10 Jamaal Williams, RB, DET
10.3 Tre’Quan Smith, WR, NO
11.10 Blake Jarwin, TE, DAL
12.3 Rashod Bateman, WR, BAL
13.10 Henry Ruggs, WR, LV
14.3 Tarik Cohen, RB, CHI
15.10 Amari Rodgers, WR, GB

Whereas I’ve some considerations about Mixon (extra beneath), I used to be fairly pleased with the primary three picks of this draft, and I already defined why I took Jackson within the fourth. After that’s the place it will get attention-grabbing. Golladay is a receiver I like so much in non-PPR and largely keep away from in PPR, and Smith-Schuster is unquestionably somebody I am greater on this 12 months than the trade. Each Harris and Samuel have upside and pedigree, however the uncertainty of their roles makes them dangerous as something greater than flexes. 

That 9-10-11 trio could trigger some head scratching, however I consider all three gamers are in line for larger roles than the neighborhood has them projected for. Jarwin particularly needs to be a prime 12 tight finish so long as he beats out Dalton Schultz and stays wholesome.
