I'm fine with that if that's even how it happens. Blount will get plenty of touches and all goalline work. I'm fine with a weak RB2 until Sankey is the fulltime starter.

But the Sankey stuff seems overblown. Too much talent to let sit, and they could be downplaying his role, who knows.

Doug Martin over Bell.

but not bad. martin's health scares me and Bell's suspension/losing goal-line touches to Blount scares me.

And regret it, but I don't fear a suspension at all. He's not going to miss any games. It's Blount taking away carries and goal line carries that bothers me.

and it is a 16 team league, .5 ppr. Should be interesting.

I have the 6th pick. No idea what type of strategy to have in a 16 team league.

Bell won't be suspended this year because the CBA doesn't have suspension parameters for DUI's. The Steelers could suspend him, but not the NFL. Dwayne Bowe got arrested for speeding and marijuana possession last November and is serving his one game suspension on opening day.

The losing touches to Blount thing doesn't bother me because Bell is also a good receiving back and this is a PPR league.

Didn't bell also test positive for marijuana? He wasn't drunk, he was driving on marijuana.

Will Hill tested positive for marijuana and was suspended 4 games same season IIRC.

Well if you're arrested for a DUI you test positive for that substance, but from what I am reading the NFL won't act until the legal process has run its course.

Someone rank these 3 pls
Rudolph, Cameron, and Pitta

For you to get suspended for pot.

STARTERS
QB T Brady
WR D Thomas
WR AJ Green
RB Doug Martin
WR/RB/TE V Cruz
TE J Reed
K D Bailey
DEF Giants

BENCH
RB R Jennings
WR M Wallace
WR J Hunter
QB P Rivers

configured to start just 1 RB?

Mine all need 2, I'd love that change, we have 2WR, 2RB, 1 Flex, sometimes 2 if no TE mandatory.

Is that a new trend?

The 12 team league I did my draft in already is QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 Flex, TE, D/ST, K

It makes you dig deep and not only care a lot about the back of the draft, but to keep a close eye on the wire. It's a little boring when every starter is a stud.

but I wouldn't mind them being flex, the last two people who posted their teams had two WR's and 1RB and a flex.

This is the setup in both of the leagues I am in and you're right... you have to pay attention to everything.

I have Rudolph ahead of Cameron mostly due to Norv Turner Switching over... and there being more weapons on the Vikings to attract attention away from Kyle.

hey Keith did you put together another fantasy cheatsheet this year?

If so can you email it to me please? It was really helpful last year.

damdevs@bellsouth.net

thanks man!

Mine are too, just one league has no TE mandatory, but two flexes.

waiver wire has slim pickings.

Took a flyer on Corey Washington. Was planning on using it for josh Gordon, but it had to be a homer

Someone used to always offer some comprehensive rankings spreadsheet that factored in numerous FF websites rankings. Was that offered this year? Anyone know? Thanks in advance.

Yeah love deeper leagues makes you work every week to put out a good lineup..no easy wins and no superteams...you have to atually pick players up and make moves to win...

My 12 team league Qb 2 RB 3 WR 1 TE 1 K 1 Def 6 BN...15 round draft...takes us about 3-4 hours for the draft...

My 10 team league 1 QB 2 RB 2 Wr 1 Flex (RB, WR, TE) 1 TE 1 K 1 Def...17 round Draft takes about 2 hours...

1 is Saturday the other is Monday night love draft nights..

Did three mocks last night. Standard scoring.
RB-WR-RB, TE-QB-WR and RB-RB-RB.

TEAM 1 (RB-WR-RB)
QB: Romo, Cutler
RB: Charles, Morris, Sankey, S. Jax and Sproles.
WR: Marshall, R.White, Cruz, Colston and Cooper
TE: V.Davis

TEAM 2 (TE-QB-WR)
QB: Rodgers, Dalton
RB: Sankey, Richardson, S. Jax, Sproles
WR: J.Jones, Garcon, Cruz, Decker, Cooper
TE: Graham

TEAM 3 (RB-RB-RB)
QB: Wilson, Rivers, Dalton
RB: Charles, Bernard, Morris, S. Jax
WR: Garcon, Fitz, Hilton, E.Sanders, Cooks
TE: Clay

If Im going Graham RD1 I'm hoping to get pick 6 or later but sill debating taking him with pick 1-5. Its crazy I know. I think TEAM 2 would be better if I didn't take Rodgers and went with a Bell or Foster late in RD2.

for a few years.

it's great until you're the guy with Cody Pickett or John Skelton at QB.

I like have it so people can't auto-draft set their lineups and get handed cash, but it's also got to be some skill involved versus luck.

I am guessing you went WR 1-2 which worked for you got a very good 1-2 punch with a very good 3rd WR in White...

I dont think your RB situation is that bad..I am souring on Stacy more and more though...I think by the end of the season you will be starting Jennings and Mathews With Sankey as your 3rd RB...I like Sankey i know many here are worried about him but i think he eventually he is the starter in Tennessee...

Kaepernick hopefully is healthy last year he dealt with a foot injury for most of the year...you may be starting Rivers a lot though...he is really good in that new offense they installed last year and he has some weapons..

drafts on Sunday. Where's the kmed sheet?

Someone rank these 3 pls Rudolph, Cameron, and Pitta

I think a big year is coming for Pitta. I'd go Cameron, Pitta, Rudolph. I'd much rather spend a 9th rounder on one of the latter two than a 7th rounder on Cameron.

of my 12 ppr auction draft. Pretty pumped how it turned out.

QB: Foles
WR Jeffrey
WR: Brown
RB: Lacy
RB: Forte
TE: rudolph
Flex: T. Williams
K: Bailey
Def: KC

Bernard Pierece
austin
boykin
jordan matthews
Christine Michael
Josh Gordon.

I spent most of my $200 budget for my top 2 wrs and rbs and then just filled in the rest of the pieces. Forte 56, Lacy 54, Jeffrey 34, Brown 35, Foles 7

Patterson or Harvin? Ty!

Patterson

You are going to make the league your bitch.
Ihajir - Patterson

I apologize, but no spreadsheet to share this season.

if Foles is as good as last season for the whole year, I don't see you losing much(barring injury), but if he is average, you should still do pretty well. Nice work.

You

I would rate them the same, but Cameron is going earlier than the 7th round in most mocks I've participated in and ADP shows him going around #60 - meaning he's a 5th round pick to some people.

With the QB position being what it is in Cleveland and both QBs showing poor sync with Cameron in the preseason - I don't touch him that early.

If we are talking about value and where you should draft players, I think you're getting more ROI with Pitta or Rudolph later.

where QB's get 6 pts per TD/ 1 pt per 25 yds passing?? If I take Shady or Charles, I won't get a crack at a top qb, and tons of talent will go off the board before I pick at 28 and 29. Would I be out of my mind to take Peyton #1 under those scoring rules? If I don't, he's not going to last past probably #6 anyhow.

Dont look back. Those two are head and shoulders above the rest.

Last year my buddy (huge Broncos fan) and I bet on the superbowl. The best was winner gets to name the losers fantasy team for the following season. Well I obviously won. Any creative team name ideas out there? I want to do something awesome but nothing has come to mind that I like too much.

We did something similar. Came up with these:

Sweet Pushy

My Lil' TD's

Shorten Curlies

my buddy thinks he's hilarious because his team name is Lotsa Dixon Cider

I'm the only Giants fan in my league so in 2008 I had to deal with some burrested development and plaxicidental shooting

names.

Maybe I hate them because I;m not creative enough.

of someone in the league. The ones using player names are generally overused and terrible.

I'm in standard scoring league but QBs score 6 pts per thrown TD. I can keep 2 guys and I would lose a draft pick depending on what round the player was drafted in and how long he's been kept for.

My options are (2 of):

McCoy (would cost a 1st rounder)
Aaron Rodgers (would cost a 2nd rounder)
Denarius Thomas (would cost a 2nd rounder)
Andrew Luck (would cost a 6th rounder)

My initial instinct is to take McCoy and Rodgers with QBs scoring 6 for throwing a TD, but given how deep QB is, does it make sense to go with Thomas?

QB Brady
RB Peterson
RB Ball
WR Marshall
WR Crabtree
TE Ertz
Flex Ellington
D/ST Bengals
K Bryant

Bench- Torrey Smith, Steven Jackson, E Sanders, L Miller, Cooks, Roethlisberger, Rudolph

I think I would keep McCoy and Rodgers. Depending on where you pick in the 3rd you have an outside shot at Jeffery and if not him, you should be able to nab Antonio Brown.

in the 3rd, so i doubt any of the studs fall to me.
