0James Young (500 Reputation Points)Not a bad auction overall. I think you overpaid for Gio, he may be in a 50/50 timeshare with Jeremy Hill and you can get a back like Rashad Jennings/Ellington for under $20 in most auctions. The $27 or so dollars you save could have afforded you a guy like Cameron/Witten at TE, and a Russell Wilson/Philip Rivers at QB, and maybe a bump up from D Jax to Garcon or someone like that.2 Comments↳David Baird (426 Reputation Points)I agree with you on Bernard, sadly. I got into a bidding war and was really determined to have a PPR-relevant RB to complement the risky Foster. I actually prefer DJax to garcon, even in PPR, because I feel he's the better WR and wil, along with Reed, dilute the volume that made Garcon valuable.↳James Young (500 Reputation Points)I understand your reasoning behind Bernard fully. Pierre Garcon led the league in targets AND receptions last year(182, 113). If you took away 25% of his production, his volume would be similar to what Demariyus Thomas saw last year(142 targets, 92 receptions).
