Travis Kelce's Official Discussion Thread

[Bad News Barrett]

It really reminds me of the Michael Floyd Kool-Aid of last year

[Matticus]

If you want him that's probably where you have to pull the trigger unless you trade back a tad. Hot commodity. He went at 3.12 (I think) in a start-up that is still going. 16 team, PPR, return yd points, big stats bonus, Starting: QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 RB/WR/TE, K, full IDP.

[Matticus]

This seemed rather appropriate. For what it's worth I am drinking the Kool-Aid. Factors include: talent, Smith's lack of wanting to throw to the outside/down field, and I'm a die-hard KC fan

This made me LOL at my office. My co-workers just came in to see what was so funny. Thanks

Andy Reid is always good for a laugh (even when he's your favorite team's head coach )

That's equiv to the 4.08 in a 12 teamer though, so his 4th is right in the ball park.

Yes I have the 4.10 and figure he gets sniped right before me. So what is fair value for the 3.03? Sorry I am a dynasty rookie and not sure what to look for. I am assuming I wait until I am on the clock to get max value out of 3.03?

If he has scoring that puts emphasis on IDPs then yes. Several IDPs were taken before Kelce (Watt, Wagner, David, and Kuechly), so probably about 4.04. Basically, if you wait until the 4th, you'll probably get sniped.

If you can get someone at the end of round 3 to give something like 3.10 and 4.03 for 3.03 and 5.03 I think I would do that. It would make your team stronger and you should still be able to get Kelce around 3.08 to 3.12. You can work the deal out ahead of time if you want. Just make it publicly know that you are looking to move back and you will get plenty of offers.

I'm in the middle of an 12 team IDP start up and Kelce didn't go until 5.11

[Fezzik]

Good advice.

I wonder who you're playing with though... like, are you joining a group of seasoned dynasty guys starting up a new league, or is your redraft league just going pro?

If it's the latter, he might last until 4.10. Not that you want to count on that, just go get your guy. But don't think people are going to be complete slaves to ADP. People have different values than the consensus all the time. I'm willing to bet you'll be very surprised at how much your startup draft will differ from chalk.... even in round 3 and 4.

Truer words have never been spoken... Lynch went 1.07 in the league described in an earlier post and I got AJG at 1.14.

Thank you all for the advice. It seems like most of the guys are dynasty vets and one other first timer. Looks like I will try and trade down from 3.03 unless a player falls to me that I can't pass up.

The've apparently asked Kelce to put on 15 lbs to be a better blocker. Makes me a little worried, but I guess we'll see.

They want him to put on 15 lbs to get to Gronk-weight
