Because he plays with a bunch of idiots? Just a guess.

I'd recommend investigating it. People really, really like Lacy and see a large fall off after him at RB.

QB: Drew Brees
RB: Rashad Jennings, Reggie Bush, Darren Sproles, Danny Woodhead, Khiry Robinson
WR: Cordarrelle Patterson, T.Y. Hilton, Brandin Cooks, Anquan Boldin, Stevie Johnson, Kenbrell Thompkins
TE: Martellus Bennett
DST: Seahwaks
K: Josh Brown

Thats not bad for a 14 team league...got to hope Bush can get touches out of the back field...Jennings should get 85% of the work load...

Wr got to hope Patterson lives up to the hype...Hilton is a deep threat, Cooks has been get rave reviews with the saints and Boldin is always good for a couple huge games..

We def can, I just don't know if anyone would want to swap but I will certainly see if anyone's interested.

Maybe I should just freaking take Lacy myself.

wow, hope it's not a money league.

then why not? I don't believe he's a top tier fantasy RB so I didn't want him. In my league we can't trade picks, just draft slots and I was offered to move to the 7 and 8 spots, but it didn't make sense for me. I ended up getting Brees in rd 2 anyway which is what I would have wanted.

ahead of Calvin, Thomas, Dez , Aj, Peyton

He's borderline for me.

I almost have him in his own tier after the top 4 guys or in at the top of a 2nd tier with Lynch.

I don't think he's going to be right with McCoy, Charles, AP and Forte.

is quite large. Patterson is all potential at this point. He was a rookie who had a nice stretch at the end of the season and still has a weak QB situation. Julio Jones is a man child who's had a significant amount of success in the NFL and has a top QB throwing him the ball in a "air it out" offense.

Not to mention an All Pro WR on the other side of the field and an excellent receiving option in the slot as well. Jones won't be seeing much double coverage at all. I'll take him in a one-on-one matchup against most CB's.

but this seems like the Fantasy thread for today and I'm looking for some good insight on my draft.

My draft threw me completely off guard, because QBs were taken earlier than I expected.

Drafted 8th out of 10, expected to pick up Graham in the 1st and Brees or Rodgers in the 2nd. But the 3 top QBs were taken before I could nab him so I had to go D. Thomas in the 2nd. It kind of spiraled from there and I'm left with a team that I kind of like at times and then I'm not so crazy about other times I look at it.

QB- Kaepernick, Tannehill(I plan on dropping him and using this bench spot for waiver wire pickups during the season)

RB- Ellington, Sankey, Sproles, F. Jackson, Moreno

WR- D. Thomas, Cobb, Sammy Watkins, Welker, Terrance Williams

TE- Graham, Bennett

Defense- 49ers

K- Novac


Go ahead guys, rip me apart

I happen to think that both QBs will be serviceable for fantasy football purposes and your starting WRs are solid. You are going to have to pray that the report out of Miami that Moreno is the starter is correct because otherwise you are screwed on the RB front, at least until Sankey takes the job from Shonn Greene (and who knows if that will ever happen).

I love the ellington pick late 3d round hate Sankey as your 2nd RB...your Rbs are very weak...

Wrs are not terrible, Thomas is a great pick 2nd round he went 6th overall in my draft, Cobb is a good wr2 he gets the ball alot in space, Watkins is going to be a stud eventually i just dont know how quickly, Welker is an injury risk every time he steps on the field now, terrence Williams is a good pick and may have a good year with Bryant getting most of the attention...

Obviously Graham is a stud...

I just dont like Kaepernick, i know he was hurt last year but he didnt break out like i thought he would...h eis going to have to learn how to stand in the pocket and go through his progressions teams are not going to let him beat them with his legs...

12 team league. (.5ppr) (6pt per TD for all WR/RB/QB ect.)

QB- Stafford
QB- Flacco

RB- Reggie Bush
RB- Ryan Matthews
RB- C.J. Spiller
RB- Mark Ingram
RB- Khiry Robinson

WR- Calvin Johnson
WR- Maques Colston
WR- Hakeem Nicks
WR- Anquan Boldin
WR- Odell Beckum Jr.

TE- Rob Gronkowski
TE- Eric Ebron
TE- Coby Fleener

DEF- NY Giants
DEF- Green Bay

K- Josh Brown

I'll also have two open roster spots after week 1 where I'll grab another Kicker and somebody else. Maybe Jernigan or preseason MVP Corey Washington!

A lot of Detriot Lions. Which I don't mind too much, because I rather punt one game a year due to bye weeks and have as close to full power roster every other week.

This is the worst team in a 10-team league I might have ever seen

I expect him to have every chance to win the starting gig and to get the majority of the touches this season, but it might take a few weeks and he will have to perform. He's a good bench RB with upside, IMO.

Really don't like your WR's after Calvin at all. Bush as a RB1 is no good, either.. nor are your RB's in general. Plus I don't like having a starting QB, RB and WR all from the same team. You def mailed this one in, man. Not a fan of your team at all. No offense.

that is a good team for 12-team and a lot of roster spots - especially if you have two open spots.

20 roster spots per team, waiver wire will be slim pickings. better hope your depth is good enough you don't need to rely on a pick up - you shouldn't though.

I can't even figure out who the 2nd pick on that team is. If it's Stafford, it's a big reach. If it's Bush or Colston it's an even bigger one.

Might even be gronkowski

but the draft is only 50% of the equation. At this point, people ranking the draft is all based on value. At this point next week, value will mean nothing when we actually see how guys play and what guys roles are. There will be a handful of pickups throughout the season that can make a fantasy team. It's about finding those guys and getting them.

The roster spots are overkill, was left over from when it was a 10 team league and should have been adjusted this year.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

it's not that great either. my initial reaction was off.

there is a site (rate my team.com) or something and you plug iun your team, league settings, # of teams, etc. and it tells you your playoff likelihood.

It had my teams to a T the past couple years.

I panicked after RB's started to evaporate from the player pool.

Gronk in the 3rd

Stafford in the 5th

Thanks, I realized I may be reaching on a few picks. I took a few chances on guys that may break out but your analysis is appreciated.

you said rip you apart. Your team needs a RB2 and possibly a QB. See if Devonta Freeeman is there, and maybe Kaepernick is used differently, but he went undreafted in my league.

I'd almost rather start Derek Carr.

I like the Terrence Williams pick, he is a sleeper this year.

It's rating it according to those guys rankings which means nothing. One guy had my team as terrible, one guy had it as one of the best. I guess it's fun if you need validation, but it means nothing.

I'm seeing reports of him having Top 5 QB potential. I don't think he will be quite that good but I can easily see him Top 10.

Yeah, I put no stock in the rate my team stuff because it's all based on projections and can't predict injuries. Nothing wrong with doing it to ballpark how well you drafted but in the end, it's probably not too accurate a barometer.

rankings. It would be one thing if they used a compilation of the rankings of multiple sites, but they use Joe Schmo's rankings to rate my team. Then they use Billy Joes rankings to rate my team. Billy and Joe both have completely different rankings which is why one thinks my team has a 90% at the playoffs and one has a 65% at the playoffs.

QB- Rivers, Manziel
RB- Forte, Morris, Stacy, Pierce
WR- Allen, Jeffery, Cooper, Edelman, Lee
TE- Cameron, Ebron
Def- NYG
K- Prater

Dropped Lee for McManus because of Prater's suspension.

Team into that site and it gave me a 75% chance of making the playoffs...if you saw my team you wouldn't put much faith in their assessment. LOL I have a not so good team.

QB - Rivers
RB - Lynch
RB - Ben Tate
WR - Vincent Jackson
WR - Emmanuel Sanders
TE - Jimmy Graham
FLEX - Bishop Sankey
D - Bucs
K - Blair Walsh

Bench
Terrence Williams
Devonta Freeman
Justin Hunter
Khiry Robinsom
Big Ben
Coby Fleener
Andrew Hawkins


Thoughts on the team, ALSO, I've been offered Russel Wilson and Woodhead for Bishop Sankey. Should I do that ?

Rodgers
Demaryius Thomas
Roddy White
Malcolm Floyd
Steve Smith
Justin Hunter
Jordan Mathews
Reggie Bush
Ryan Mathews
Bernard Pierce
Carlos Hyde
Jeremy Hill
Heath Miller
Travis Kelce

very

that's a pretty bad 10 team roster.

I like both Wilson and Woodhead and hate Sankey, but I think you shouldn't make that deal. You need Sankey to hit big, and Wilson/Woodhead aren't likely to hit big - they will just be consistent/decent options.

I never seem to like the Jimmy Graham teams.

why do you hate Sankey so much?

I agree. Whenever I did my mocks, I always had the most trouble with the drafts that I took Graham at 6. That being said, he's still a huge advantage at TE and you can fill other holes as the season goes on.

.

Marvin Jones

I don't have a backup TE but I have Jimmy Graham both chargers are available should I drop someone to add one of them or wait and see?

Also which Defense/ST should i go with Pitt or Hou? Pitt looks like an easy first half of the year. I drafted Hou but dropped them for Pitt already bc they play the Browns after Gordon suspended. But I feel like Houston can be one of those matchup proof elite fantasy Ds with Clowney and Watt.

over Sankey then Sankey went 2 picks later. Right move? I then took Micheal Floyd over suspended Ray Rice and bust Trent Richardson. My next pick I took Toby Gerhart over Steven Jackson.

You should just add a different kicker than McManus then once Prater comes back drop him

I have Luck and Denver - R. Wilson is my backup, and I can pick up either Redskins (against Hou), Steelers (against Cle), or Eagles (against Jax) in replacement.

Thanks!

those are worth 6pts in our league. I'm not in love with my team, but it's probably the best stable of rb's I've had in a few years.

How high on Pierce are you?

I think he should do pretty well the 2 weeks that Rice is suspended. I think I drafted him somewhere around the 11th round.
