Fall is almost here and that means it's nearly football season. And we aren't talking about soccer, we're talking about good ol' American football (no offense). And one of the many things I love about the NFL is playing fantasy football. 

I recently conducted my first fantasy draft of the year, and I thought I would share my roster along with some thoughts about my team with you. My hope is that I can help you with your upcoming fantasy draft and also drum up some interest in organizing a Scorum fantasy football (NFL) league (comment below if interested).

Type of League

I decided to join a live draft on ESPN. The league I joined is a 10-team PPR (point per reception) league. 

My Roster 

Running back Ezekiel Elliott was my first pick, which was not an easy pick to make. His ability to catch the ball helped me feel comfortable enough with him leading my team instead of taking the top wide receiver on the board, which was Antonio Brown. Next, I chose A.J. Green as my top receiver. 

My roster also includes: 

  • Matt Ryan
  • Jordan Howard
  • Tyreek Hill 
  • Tyler Eifert
  • Josh Gordon
  • Chris Hogan
  • Mark Ingram
  • Brandin Cooks
  • Tevin Coleman
  • Charles Clay
  • Ben Roethlisberger
  • Kenny Golladay
  • Ravens D/ST
  • Matt Prater

Analysis 

The top of my roster is shaky to be honest. A.J. Green's production will rely on the inconsistent play of Andy Dalton in Cincinnati, Jordan Howard is part of a running-back-by-committee in Chicago and he will rarely get a chance to catch the ball, and talented wide receiver Tyreek Hill has more competition for the ball as Sammy Watkins is also in town. 

I am, however, very pleased with a few of the late-round picks I was able to make. Chris Hogan, Brandin Cooks, Tevin Coleman, and Mark Ingram are all fantastic sleeper options who could finish in the top 20 at their position. Despite facing a 4-game suspension, Mark Ingram finished in the top-5 in yards and was second in touchdowns (12) among running backs last season. 

What do you think of my team? What picks do you love? Which do you hate? 

If you want to draft a team, you can join a fantasy football live draft here on ESPN. 

Would you like to play in a Scorum fantasy football league? If so, please comment below. I will create a league and prizes if enough people show interest.
