NFT: Fantasy: September 2

I have four RBs and two WRs for three slots (RB1, RB2, and Flex):

G.Bernard
D.Martin
B.Pierce
B.Tate

R.Cobb
D.Jackson

Not a PPR.

My starting WRs are C.Johnson and B.Marshall with T.Romo as QB (J.Cutler is the backup).

Cobb over Tate or Pierce?

has a tough week 1 matchup against the legion of boom.

hate to play matchups like that week 1, but if Pierce plays (concussion?) he might be a better start

Not trying to sound like a dick, but it certainly helps people form a better opinion.

Doug Martin vs Carolina

Tate vs Pittsburgh

Pierce vs Bengals

Cobb vs Seahawks

Desean vs Houston


Panthers and Bengals both have really stout run defense, so Tate should have more consideration against that bad Steelers defense. Cobb is playing the best secondary in the league, but if you've invested a 3rd round pick (assuming) in the guy, I feel like you have to just throw him out there and hope for the best.

It's a crapshoot but gun to my head I go Gio, Tate, Martin/Cobb. Probably Cobb over Martin. I'd like for that Bucs OL to prove they can block a high five before I start anyone behind them.

14 team standard (picked 13). Your 2014 Laces Out Dan:

QB - Phillip Rivers (5)
RB - Arian Foster (1)
RB - Rashad Jennings (3)
WR - Brandon Marshall (2)
WR - Roddy White (4)
FX - MJD (6)
TE - Martellus Bennet (8)
Df - Saints (12)
K - Graham Gano (15)
------------
Nicks, WR (7)
Riley Cooper, WR (9)
Carlos Hyde, (10)
Flacco, QB (11)
Robert Turbin (13)
Travis Kelce (14)

Unfortunately by 13 the top QBs and RBs are gone a long with Jimmy Graham. So I roll the dice on Foster...

Sproles or Ingram?

Eifert or Black Unicorn?

Danny Amendola or Cecil Shorts?

Devonte Freeman or Andre Willams?

If you took Calvin with your first pick.. how would you rank these 5 players in order of who you'd want the most to who you'd want the least with your 2nd pick:

Ball
Marshall
Murray
Brees
Bernard

Brees
Gio
Marshall

Ball



Murray

I could flip flop on Gio and Brees. Gio and Mega is just such a nice combo to have. Marshall is an awesome consolation prize. Ball is a bit of an unknown but they seem to trust him as a workhorse back, not in love with him though.

Murray is talented as all hell, but I just can't trust him healthwise. He can absolutely have a fantastic season, and in that case I'll let some other team enjoy the fruits of his labor. I'm not taking the risk.

I am pretty much guaranteed to have another stud fall into my lap at 16 because I looked at it like this..

These 13 players are almost certain to go in the first 13 picks (not necessarily in this order)

McCoy, Charles, AP, Forte, Lacy, Calvin, D. Thomas, Graham, Peyton, Dez, AJ, Lynch, Julio

I can't imagine a scenario where they don't. And then the 2 picks before me, I am guessing 2 of the 5 players I mentioned will be taken.. which means I'll basically be choosing from the other 3.

I think if Brees is there I will take him. Marshall would mean going WR/WR but I don't know if I could pass up on him there. I would be happy with Ball or Bernard. Murray is really the one guy I'd be iffy on.

In the later rounds. I feel like for the first 6-7 rounds I can find a stud WR.

I really just hate the fact that Ball didn't do nearly enough on the field last year to warrant such a high pick. I try to stay away from these high upside breakout players that present no ADP value whatsoever. It's a personal strife I have more than anything else, which I'm sure has fucked me over in the past.

ppr league

QB: Brady / Cam Newton
RB: Vereen, J. Bell, CJ Spiller, McFadden, Stewart
WR: AJ Green, Wright, Maclin, DeAndre Hopkins, Streater
TE: Jimmy Graham / Ladarius Green
Def: PATS
PK: Shayne Graham

Had the 6th pick in 12 team league.

Any thoughts?

The reason I am so high on Ball is because everyone had basically thrown in the towel on Moreno and then last year, he was a top 5 fantasy RB because of that offense. Just so many quick screens, delayed handoffs and just a fuckload of touches. Ball is going to be that guy this year and I think he will put up big numbers.

Fish.. not bad, you fucking fuck. I would say I don't love your RB's but PPR will probably save you there with Vereen who actually isn't a terrible RB1 in PPR as long as he stays healthy. You got a top 5 WR, the #1 TE and I think Brady will be one of the best values at QB this year relative to where he's being drafted. For 12 teams that's pretty solid.

I have to choose eternal nicks, Andrew Hawkins, and Kenny Britt for 3rd receiver slot. Any suggestions?

Fucker

10 team, no PPR. Standard scoring with 4pts per QB TD. 2RB,2WR,1 RB/WR/TE flex.

7th draft slot:

QB: Cutler, Newton
RB: Ball, Stacy, Vereen, Pierce
WR: Calvin Johnson, K. Allen, E. Sanders, Hilton, M. Evans
TE: Rudolph, Clay
K: Vinatieri
Def: Rams

Wish I had slightly better option at RB2. Had to go Stacy at 27th due to 14 RBs going beforehand. Vereen at 54.

if it's a full PPR. You will be getting 5-7 points weekly on catches alone from Vereen.
