Just looking for a quick chat here, seems the threads are less frequent this year (have these been banned?).

I'm in a PPR keeper league. I have Jordan Howard as an UDFA. That should be a no brainer for a 16th rounder this year, right?
Yes, no brainer

I hate reading about fantasy at this point because there are thousands of articles and one of the first headlines I saw was that Howard leads a list of top bust potentials.

Yeah, no brainer.

There are less fantasy threads because like 10 of the most active participants in those threads are in a league together now and now no one wants to give each other advice or tip their hand.. haha.

Anyway - the amount of fantasy analysis out there has reached such levels of overkill that you can find negative or positive opinions on nearly every player out there. Keeping Howard for a 16th rd pick is about as easy a call as there is.
It's all about context

He MAYBE a bust as a top 12 pick, but as a 16th round pick? It's a no brainer.

Hi arc.

Good question. I'm scared of all the saints rbs even though they can all play. I think I' would rather have Ingram but I'd draft him late.

Don't be a dick. FF is a fun way to enjoy the game and not everyone can be an expert.

Just remember everyone is trying to be a FF analyst now, and much like the beat writers, they have to write something that generates clicks. And highlighting some of the risks of potential top 12-15 picks is one way to do that. What you have to do is balance the risks with value. Just because he may be a bust where he is currently being drafted, doesn't mean he shouldn't be drafted at all.
I got the 11th pick

In 12 team non ppr. Thinking going best available WR then maybe Fournette or McCaffrey who looks real good at 14. Would you?

I think you should be able to do better than Fournette/McCaffery at 14. In a non-PPR I don't think McCaffery should sniff top 30.

You will have two of the following players available to you:

Johnson
Bell
McCoy
Brown
Julio
Beckham
Evans
Green
Nelson
Gordon
Freeman
Howard
Thomas
Hilton
Murray

More realistically two of the following:

Freeman
Howard
Thomas
Hilton
Murray

Of course

I was just hammering home the point that the list of players better than Fournette and McCaffery is easily 14

Lots of love for the rookie RB's this year - I could see Fournette/Cook/McCaffrey/Mixon being similar to the 2014 WR class as far as immediate impact.

Jay Ajayi... was the way he capped last year for real or was it a mirage?

Gase basically said he's going to get the guy like 350 touches this year. Something about him feels like it has major bust potential, though.

LOL... sorry man. It is the 16th round. Last pick. Who else would you be selecting then anyway? He is a starting running back that not only will get the lions' share of the carries but he also catches passes. Can you find any other running back that fits that description after the 8th round of your draft? So, even if the guy has a drop off in production vs last year, it is still going to be an amazing value in round 16.

I agree. I figured as much but chose to use the post as a potential conversation starter on fantasy. I've looked at zero projections so far this year.

But shows how much you know. Dude is on the Bears not the Lions.
