FF Thread 9/9

If you are the one getting Evans hell yes

try to get the upside of Coleman as well, who could easily outperform Gore this year. If he doesn't bite, then go for Gore/Evans straight up.

I have bell obviously on suspension

Would you go deangelo or rashad Jennings this week?..I'm thinking going with deangelo I think giants game will be a shootout with vereen getting a lot if snaps

Is willing to do gore and smith for Evans and Coleman do it but I'm surprised he is willing to do that...trade hurts him more than it helps

Evans & Coleman you have to do it. Straight up I think I'd rather keep Gore in a non PPR, especially if there is a flex spot.

He has Randle as his next back and he may not keep that job or it will be a committee job. He can afford to lose Evans since he has Dez and Julio.

There is a flex spot.

DeAngelo, particularly if PPR.

Forte for Julio? Would you do that?

A lateral move in non PPR. Julio is awesome, but all things being equal keep the back.

I kinda like my starters but hate my bench. Any advice?

QB- Brees, Bradford
RB- Forte, Ingram, Blue, K. Davis, T. Coleman
WR- J. Jones, A. Cooper, Boldin, Colston, Garcon
TE- Olsen, Clay
Defense- Bills
K- Carpenter

12 team, standard. Ignore the reserves D & K...our league rules call for back-ups at all positions

QB-Eli, Palmer
RB-Forte, Morris, Jennings, Mathews
WR-Brown, Hilton, Allen, Coleman
TE-Kelce, Walker
D-Bills, Colts
K-Haushka, Gano

Thoughts?

Not bad for a 12 team league. Blue will be valuable for a month or two. Davis only if Charles gets hurt.

So I'm more concerned about Gore being a bust than Evans, mainly because Indy RB's have struggled, no matter who it is. And they throw the ball a ton more than they run it. That may change now that they have an RB of Gore's caliber. Or maybe it's a function of having an OL built more for pass-protection than run-blocking. So that's the risk factor with Gore (that and injury).

With Evans, the risk factor is that it's Tampa Bay and it's a rookie QB (albeit a rookie QB who is likely going to depend on his 6'5" WR with 35 inch arms). He also struggled in the preseason with hamstring issues, so that bares watching.

Davonte Adams
Martellus Bennett
Alfred Blue

Keep in mind I already start Cobb. ALso, would you go with Stafford or Rivers. They face each other.

If you already start Cobb I'd go Bennet and blue....

I think Stafford and rivers us a toss up

Don't you just love second guessing yourself after you completed your draft? Ugh!

Anyway, I drafted Joseph Randle with the idea he is the starting RB for the Cowboys. Well, recently I read that the starter isn't set in stone for Dallas after all. yea. Even though the season hasn't started, and we don't really know shit about who is worth picking up yet, would you pick up Christine Michael off waivers? I'm thinking I need to hedge my bets, and try to cover my ass with regard to Randle. But is it worth it, right now?

pick the two who you think will get more points. Green Bay plays a horrid Chicago Defense and Blue is up against the Chiefs.

Wouldn't go there. Would rather use a roster spot for someone who has a chance to breakout. Right now, Michael is the 4th stringer. I see this being a committee job. Wouldn't really want anyone in the Cowboys backfield outside Randle.

do I start:

Wheaton
Tevin Coleman
Blue
Wallace

Right now I have Wheaton because I'm not quite sure who Big Ben has to target aside from Brown. Bell isn't there and the Patriots secondary isn't exactly stellar.

until atleast when Bryant comes back. Wheaton is a WR3 with Bryant out, IMO so i'm using him as my 2nd FLEX.

Your best bet is to offer Alfred Blue to the team that has Foster or Knile Davis to the team that has Charles. Perhaps Alfred Blue and Colston will get you a better WR in case the Raiders offense is non-existent and then use the roster spot to pick up a guy like Matt Jones or Ronnie Hillman or an upside RB who is still available.

Thank you for the feedback. You are probably right. I'm kicking myself for having picked Randle when there were better options available at the time.

I'm in agreement with UConn. Wheaton looks good as a flex at this time. I would start him if I didn't have better options at that position.

QB: Tannehill, Stafford
RB: Lynch, Stewart, Spiller, Mathews, Artis-Payne
WR: Megatron, B. Cooks, Maclin, Devante Parker, DGB, P. Dorsett
TE: Olsen
DST: Miami
K: McManus DEN

Pretty happy with all my picks. Gore and K.Wright went 1 pick before me, but I think I have some solid starters along with some upside plays.

We start 1 qb, 2 rb, 2 wr, 1 flex, 1 TE, 1 DST, and 1 k

Luck kept in the 4th round, OBJ in the 7th

Luck, Eli
Gio, Jennings, Ameer Abdullah, FredJax, Blue
Calvin, AJ, OBJ, Andre Johnson, Cruz, Malcolm Floyd
Ertz, Dwayne Allen
Buffalo D

Not sure which starting RB I'm gonna try and target in a trade yet but I'm hoping Ameer might emerge sooner than later as the starter in detroit. In the meantime, I will happily rely on luck and the WRs to carry me. I was pumped Andre fell to me in the third, I think he's gonna beast with a real QB. And I just couldn't resist taking Victor when the 10th rolled around, should be nice trade bait if he comes back like his old self.

QB Brady/Eli
RB- Peterson, Charles, Miller, Yeldon, Blue, K. Davis, Coleman
WR-Cobb, Hopkins, Marshall, John Brown
TE- Witten
D- Rams
K- Haushcka

how many teams are in your league such that you could afford all of those guys in an auction? You must be including keepers.

12 team
PPR plus bonuses

Brady / Carr
Charles / martin / Crowell / Ryan Matthews / Matt Jones
AJ Green / TY / Hopkins / Terrance Williams / Charles Johnson
Sefarian Jenkins
Packers
Scobee

Your thoughts?

CBS league/strange custom configuration.
12 Team / Start QB, RB, WR, WR, RB/WR, TE K DEF (so essentially you could start 1 RB and 3 WR or 2 RB and 2 WR)
1 point for 5 receptions and bonus points for 100 yds rush/rec.
All other scoring standard.

What is a good, free, tiered list I can use for the draft?

Also, we must keep one player. I kept Aaron Rodgers, I am picking 4th. On the board is Lacy, Lynch, Forte, Antonio Brown, Demarius Thomas, Odell Beckham and Dez Bryant (Calvin Johnson is there as well). So with Rodgers already on my roster, I assume I have no shot at Lacy, Lynch or Antonio Brown. What would you guys suggest?

Thanks GMen

I haven't kept up with rookie values as I have in past seasons. Any time I try to search for rookie value charts for FF, I see old articles from May\June.

Does anyone have a current link that discusses rookie values and who would have impacts this year and what rounds they get drafted in re-draft leagues?

We have 3 WRs and no Flex, and I got stuck with the 11th pick when I should have had the 6th (long story)...

but anyway, I took Forte simply due to the fact that we're in full point PPR with my first pick, and on the snake back, I could have gotten CJ anderson. However, I was scared shitless of not getting a WR until 33 in a 3 WR league, so I reached for AJ. I immediately regretted it, and CJ went 2 picks later.

Anyway, I'm not stuck with a ton of "what-ifs?" on my roster, but need to drop someone for a kicker (opted to take a flier on Christine Michael instead of drafting a kicker, but it was pointless since I need to drop anyway anyway).

Who do you drop off this team? I may have to drop someone to pick up a kicker, though I'm realizing I might have a bench spot that I can use to pick one up this week. Either way, how do you fix this fucked up team?

12 team PPR, 3 WRs, no flex:

QB: Big Ben
RBs: Forte, L. Murray, Vereen, C. Michael, Carlos Hyde
WRs: AJ Green, Brandon Marshall, Cruz, B. Perriman, Harvin, Mike Wallace,
TEs: Eifert, Donnell (I think Eifert is going to have a monster year)
D: ARI
K: (nobody yet)

I feel like I need a moonshot here, and need to drop a player to pick someone up who could blossom into a starter. If you were to drop, who would you drop?

I'm thinking about dropping Harvin for someone like Kenny Britt, who might just get sheer volume as he's essentially the #1/#2 WR for StL. Other options are Sanu, Matt Jones from Washington, Fleener, Jordan Reed, Ladarius Green... I know I already have two decent TEs, but even if one of them turns into some kind of trade bait it would be helpful.

I'm not using a waiver claim here, but I'll pick up one of those if they're not already gone. Is there any fixing this team, or am I screwed?

Does anyone think Bradshaw will definitely be signed in a week, possibly by the Ravens? I might drop Harvin for him. Not sure if Harvin would ever see a start for me, even on my god awful fantasy team.

Forte and AJ Green aren't bad selections. I'm just not a fan of Hyde and Murray. Since this is a 3 WR league, I would've picked up at least either Emmanuel sanders / Davante Adams on the 3/4 turn and then Maclin in the 5th/6th.

You won't make the playoffs if this was a 10 man league (I didn't see you list it). If this was a 12 man league, you have a fighting chance. I hope I'm wrong.

Don't pick up Bradshaw. You'll never start him. Pick him up once he signs with a team.

I'm addicted to trading and I just offered a guy this trade:

Offer: Davante Adams and Rashad Jennings
Receive: Julio Jones

Here's My Team

Here's His Team

My coworker is seriously contemplating this trade but is afraid to pull off such a big trade. I'm having second thoughts too as I am giving up a RB and what I really need a TE.

Is this a trade I should really pursue?

Yeah, it's a 12. I wanted Maclin BAD, and he went in the 5th on the way back to me. I took Ben in the 4th, even though my strategy was to wait for a QB and try to get Brady very late, because Rodgers and Luck had just gone, and I thought there was going to be a run on QBs. I shot myself in the foot by going Murray / Ben, but I didn't want to mega-reach at those spots, and I didn't really like anybody at that spot.

I'm hoping Murray becomes a compiler. There is literally NOBODY else in that backfield, so that's what I'm kind of banking on.

Hyde is again someone I wasn't in love with, but his ADP was so much higher than when I got him. I'm just hoping that two of the RBs step up, so I can flip one of them for another wideout - OR, that Marshall actually has a decent year and acts as a WR2, and then Cruz or Perriman comes back and can actually get me WR3 production.

I think Cruz could have a monster year - IF he ever comes back healthy.

He's having a great year in the film/tv industry but I doubt he'll do more than 800 yards / 5 TDs this year. He had been slowing down the past year and a half prior to his injury. Again...I hope I'm wrong.

and pick up a WR/RB flier. Christine Michael or Dunchess could be something later in the season.

Oh wait, you already have Christine Michael. I stand by my statement. Drop Donnell and see if Matt Jones/Artis Payne is available. I'm kicking myself for not drafting Eifert as he will be a top 6-7 TE this year.

I would go after Matt Jones.

I had a 10 team 2RB/3WR draft with the 5th pick, and I didn't take my first WR until the 5th round. We'll see how it plays out, but my philosophy for the first few rounds is to get your value.

Drafted Gates late in my draft and then took Ladarius Green to use in the meantime while he's suspended.. but it looks like Green may have suffered a concussion in practice and his Week 1 status seems up in the air right now.

My options are going to be limited if he can't go.. I'd be choosing from one of the New Orleans TE's, Vernon Davis, Jordan Reed or Charles Clay more or less.

Question is.. who do I drop to make room? Do I just drop Green and pick him back up after the week? The back end of my bench is Matt Jones, Dorial Green-Beckham and Fred Jackson and I'd prefer not to drop any of those guys just for a 1 week placeholder.

Vernon Davis, Reed and Clay are all better options than Ladrius Green.

I'm thinking this trade may fall. My coworker is more inclined in trading his Kelce for my Crowell. Is that a better trade?

In the 2 games he played with Cousins last year he had a bunch of receptions and like 150 yards, plus when he's been healthy he's always produced. They've had a bunch of injuries so he is likely to get 100% of the snaps.

Here's a random question, does anyone have a strong feeling on Charles Johnson or Markus Wheaton this year? It's a 14 team league and I was offered either one for Hillman (who has a nice upside if something happens to CJA). I don't have a strong feeling on either of them but they seem to have some upside and on the other hand I'm starting Danny Amendola right now while I wait for MBryant's suspension to end so I could definitely use a WR.

I don't like Davis or Clay much at all this year... Green has upside and I felt like he might surprise some people with these first 4 weeks having the job to himself but if he's not even going to play that goes down the drain.

Yeah I think that's who I am going to take a shot on. Dude just always gets hurt.

I was late and had first pick so it auto picked L. Bell for me.

1. Bell - RB
2. Bryant - WR
3. Odell - WR
4. Devante Adams -WR
5. Foster - RB
6. Stafford -QB
7. Doug Martin - RB
8. Alfred Blue - RB
9. Gurley - RB
10. Cruz -WR
11. Gates- TE
12. Julius Thomas -TE
13. Bradford - QB

First few weeks will be rough with injuries but if I can split the first 4 weeks this team could smoke the league late. Will have to roll week 1 with Stafford, Martin, Blue, Bryant, Odell, Adams, and Thomas.

fuck it... its week 1, take a shot.

theres a sizable portion of people who would start bradford over stafford

09 vs 10! crazy how 2-3 years ago this convo would be flipped. people are sleeping on staff this year. i took advantage last time they slept on stafford..

Already starting Antonio Brown tonight - do I play a second Steeler WR with Wheaton, or should I go with Allen Hurns? My RBs are either hurt or suspended so they're not an option.
