Alright, listen up, y’all! We gonna talk about this fantasy football draft thing, the 7th round, the PPR, all that jazz. Don’t you worry none, I’ll make it plain as day, even if you don’t know a pigskin from a pumpkin.
Now, this here PPR thing, that means “points per reception.” Means every time your player catches the ball, even if he just falls on his behind right after, you get a point. So, we gotta think about players who catch the ball a lot. Makes sense, right?
So, the first few rounds, you probably grabbed them big shot running backs and wide receivers, maybe even a fancy tight end. That’s good, that’s real good. But now we’re in the 7th round. Things get a bit… dicey. Like pickin’ through a pile of bruised apples – gotta find the good ones.
- First thing’s first, don’t you go draftin’ no quarterback this early. Them quarterbacks, they’re like weeds, they grow everywhere. You can get a decent one later, trust me.
- We want them pass-catching fellas. Wide receivers, that’s where it’s at in PPR. Even them running backs that catch a few passes, they ain’t bad neither.
Now, see, some folks, they get all fancy with their charts and numbers. They tell you, “Oh, you gotta draft this guy, he’s projected for this and that.” But me? I go with my gut. And my gut tells me, look for players on teams that throw the ball a lot. Teams with quarterbacks who got arms like cannons. Them fellas, they gonna get their receivers the ball, and that means points for you.
So, who we lookin’ for in the 7th round?
Well, it’s like this. You gotta see what’s left on the table. If there’s a good wide receiver staring you in the face, grab him! Someone like that Christian Kirk fella, they say he catches a lot of balls. That’s what we want, right? Balls in hands, points on the board.
And if all them good wide receivers are gone? Then you start lookin’ at them pass-catching running backs. Them guys, they can be goldmines in PPR. Maybe there’s a young fella, a rookie even, that nobody’s payin’ much attention to. Someone like that Zamir White, maybe. He might be a good one, you never know. It’s a gamble, sure, but sometimes you gotta gamble to win.
Now, some folks, they’ll tell you to draft a defense or a kicker in the later rounds. And that ain’t wrong, not necessarily. But me? I like to load up on them skill positions, them guys who can get me them points. You can always find a decent defense or kicker on the waiver wire later. But a good pass-catching running back or wide receiver in the 7th round? That’s like finding a twenty-dollar bill in your old coat pocket.
And don’t forget about them tight ends! If you ain’t got a good one yet, the 7th round might be a good time to snag one. A tight end who catches a lot of passes, he’s like a wide receiver, but bigger and tougher. He can get you them touchdowns too, and touchdowns, well, them’s the real money makers.
But here’s the real secret, y’all. It ain’t just about the players, it’s about the whole darn team. You gotta have a balanced team. You can’t just have all wide receivers and no running backs. Or all quarterbacks and no nothin’ else. It’s like bakin’ a cake – gotta have all the right ingredients, in the right amounts.
So, in the 7th round of your PPR fantasy draft, focus on them pass-catchers. Wide receivers first, then pass-catching running backs, then maybe a tight end if you need one. Don’t worry about quarterbacks or defenses or kickers yet. There’ll be plenty of them later. Just remember, get them players who catch the ball, and you’ll be sittin’ pretty come playoff time.
And one more thing! Don’t be afraid to go with your gut. If you got a good feelin’ about a player, even if nobody else is talkin’ about him, go ahead and draft him! Sometimes, them gut feelings, they’re the best darn tool you got.
That’s all there is to it, folks. Simple as pie, ain’t it? Now go out there and draft yourself a winnin’ team! And don’t forget to have some fun while you’re at it. It’s just a game, after all.
