With all nine of my football drafts/auctions in the books, here's the portfolio I've amassed for 2021, not including League of Leagues (drafted by Dalton Del Don) and the RotoWire Dynasty League:
*out for the year
Players in whom I have the most shares:
QB: Trevor Lawrence (3), Josh Allen (2), Justin Herbert (2), Kirk Cousins (2)
RB: AJ Dillon (5), Kenneth Gainwell (4), Jonathan Taylor (3), Miles Sanders (3), Trey Sermon (3), Chuba Hubbard (3), Ezekiel Elliott (2), Saquon Barkley (2), Nick Chubb (2), Najee Harris (2), Travis Etienne (2), Devin Singletary (2), Rhamondre Stevenson (2), Elijah Mitchell (2)
WR: DeAndre Hopkins (3), Van Jefferson (3), Donovan Peoples-Jones (3), DK Metcalf (2), AJ Brown (2), Terry McLaurin (2), Diontae Johnson (2), Robby Anderson (2), DJ Chark (2), Michael Pittman (2), Jarvis Landry (2), Jalen Reagor (2), Gabriel Davis (2), Nelson Agholor (2), Tre'Quan Smith (2),
TE: Rob Gronkowski (3), Irv Smith (3), Zach Ertz, Kyle Pitts (2), Mark Andrews (2),
K: Tyler Bass (3), Justin Tucker (2)
D: Buccaneers (2), Rams (2), Giants (2)
Notes:
I have less overlap than I'd like on the nine teams, and it makes me uneasy, as diversification means less chance of an epic season. Key players for me are Jonathan Taylor, AJ Dillon, Miles Sanders, Trey Sermon, and Rob Gronkowski. I figure if three of those five have strong seasons, it'll be a good year for me.
