fantasy football

bobc : 8/15/2017 9:29 pm
I know that fantasy football does not correspond with real football but I saw something interesting today watching the previews. Eli not in the top 10 for QBS, no running back in the top 20, not TE in the top 10, our kicker not in the top 10, everyone concedes our offensive line is week but we are going to the super bowl? I think Eli is being truly underrated, and I think we will get solid TE play for the first time in years. Our D will be something special this year and I think it might all come down to being able to run the ball this year.
Eli is a top 10 NFL qb

In fantasy he is not because he does not put up guady numbers.
You said it yourself, fantasy and real life football are different.

Blake Bortles scored more fantasy points than Eli Manning last year, and he is an absolute dumpster fire in real NFL. In fantasy, Eli was pretty bad last year so he is not ranked very high at all right now.
I saw FF Defenses

rated somewhere and Giants were #10. How does D score you points in FF? Giants were at or near the top in yards allowed, points allowed, etc. Why would they rank so low in FF?

Usually most FF points for Defenses are scored via sacks, turnovers and return TDs.

Eli as my 6th ranked QB
Perkins my 11th ranked RB (I know this is against most rankings)
Of course Beckham #1 WR, I figure between him, AB, and Julio, flip a coin, and Mike Evans 4th. I play PPR with bonus points for 40 yard catches and 40 yard TDs, along with bonuses for 100+, 150+, and 200+ yards receiving and rushing.
I have Giants D ranked 4th. Our defense also gives pretty big bonuses for shut outs, holding teams below 6, and 14 points. Also return points, and generally more points for sacks, fumbles forced/recovered, INTs, safeties, etc.
As long as we aren't discussion auction drafts,

apparently we can't do that anymore.

Eli as your 6th QB? Seems a bit high, can you give your top 10?

Perkins as your 11th RB? Seems a bit high, can you give your top 20?

OBJ is in the dicussion for #1 WR.
Giants defense is top 3 IMO.

on my fantasy team and if I'm right then Manning is going to be a decent fantasy QB this year.

If I'm wrong, no real big deal. Most TEs not named Gronk are hit and miss anyway.

Aldrick Rosas - this is a guy who will win you a league. I wouldn't shy away from taking him as early as round 3.

What kind of production are you expecting from Engram?
