16 picks
Amodei's Armada draft picks, with the reason for each
PickPlayer and reason
1.01 (round 1)

With the first overall pick, full PPR rewards the league's best target hog. Ja'Marr Chase combines elite volume, yards-per-route efficiency and touchdown equity, making him the sturdiest weekly anchor before we build depth at RB on the turn.

2.12 (round 2)

A top-tier alpha receiver slid to the turn, so I take the value. Pairing him with Ja'Marr Chase gives me two locked-in target hogs in full PPR, and I can still grab a starting-caliber running back with my very next pick at the wheel.

3.01 (round 3)

Locking down my backfield with the best remaining runner. Irving is Tampa's efficient lead back with genuine passing-game work, which matters most in full PPR. Running back supply thins fastest from here, while quality tight ends and quarterbacks will still be there in the middle rounds.

4.12 (round 4)

With Chase and Brian Thomas Jr. anchoring the receivers and Bucky Irving at RB1, I need a second every-down back. Judkins is the best remaining lead runner on the board, with the carry share and goal-line work that make him a weekly RB2 in full PPR.

5.01 (round 5)

Best player left on my board by a clear tier. Full PPR rewards locked-in target share, and Egbuka profiles as Tampa's volume receiver. TE is deep enough that I can address it at my next pick without reaching here.

6.12 (round 6)

Last of the true every-down, high-volume tight ends on the board. In full PPR his reception floor is a weekly edge at the thinnest starting slot, and quarterbacks stay plentiful for my next picks.

7.01 (round 7)

Best player left on my board by a full tier. A high-volume target hog is worth more in full PPR than the flat mid-round RB pile, which should still be stocked at my next picks. QB can wait — six starters I like remain.

8.12 (round 8)

Back-to-back picks, so I take the scarcer spot first: running back. Harvey adds a real pass-catching role behind my Irving/Judkins pair, which matters in full PPR. Starting quarterbacks remain plentiful on this board, so I'll grab one with the very next pick.

9.01 (round 9)

Skill spots are set, so I fill my last starting hole with the top quarterback left. Maye's arm plus designed-run value gives weekly ceiling the other remaining passers lack, and waiting another round risks a real drop-off at the position.

10.12 (round 10)

Best back left on the board. With four strong receivers and a set QB/TE, I need a backfield piece who can start on his own — Dowdle brings volume and pass-game work as my FLEX and insurance behind Judkins and Harvey.

11.01 (round 11)

Best remaining projected volume on the board: a lead-back role in Dallas is worth far more this late than another depth receiver. My backfield already has Irving, Judkins, Dowdle and Harvey, so Williams raises the floor of my FLEX and bye-week lineups without reaching against the board.

12.12 (round 12)

Best remaining upside on the board. My starters are set, so I'm spending this bench slot on a receiver who can earn real target volume in a full-PPR league rather than a replaceable depth piece.

13.01 (round 13)

Full PPR rewards receptions, and Meyers is the most reliable target-earner left on the board. He gives my WR room a steady catch-volume floor behind Chase, Thomas and McMillan, with the last picks reserved for defense and kicker.

14.12 (round 14)

Roster needs are only DST and K, which I can fill with my last two picks, so this slot goes to the best upside left. Golden is a first-round-pedigree wideout with a genuine target share in Green Bay — far more ceiling than the remaining depth backs in a …

15.01 (round 15)

Starting lineup is complete outside defense and kicker, so I take the best defense left. Seattle's pass rush and takeaway profile fits a scoring system that rewards sacks, turnovers and low points allowed. Kicker comes with my final pick.

16.12 (round 16)

Last roster hole is kicker. Cam Little has the strongest leg left on the board, and this league pays 5 points for 50-plus yard field goals, so range matters. Roster complete: QB, five RBs, seven WRs, TE, DST, K.
