Uh your teams not great for a 10 team league. Why take two TEs in first 3 rounds?

Zypher posted:Uh your teams not great for a 10 team league. Why take two TEs in first 3 rounds? Because Gronk is essentially a WR1 when healthy and I can slot him in the flex. I probably could have improved things by taking Zac Stacy along with him and then picking up Michael Floyd as my WR2, but I wanted to try a 0RB approach and see how it turned out. I'm actually fairly pleased with the end result.

Crunkjuice posted:If picking at 9, a lot of mock drafts have been giving me demarco murray and dez bryant in the second. I'm a goddamn huge cowboys fan but i'm a little wary of our team for obvious reasons. I know the qb/wr tandem is boom or bust but what about same team rb/wr tandem? QB/WR tandems do slightly better than non-tandems, over the long run.

More of my mocks have Megatron going before Graham. I pick 8th out of 10 and have been landing Megatron + Graham in a a good chunk of those mocks. I'm on the fence on who to take first.

Wow, I really didn't expect a response this negative. Solid WR1 and WR2, elite TE1, high upside flex with Gronk, and a solid QBBC with Foles and Romo. Obviously my RBs are the weakest part here, but I feel that's more than offset by the strength of the other positions.

If Gordon gets off the hook you will have 2 top 5 wrs, the top te, and the best flex if gronk stays healthy. Sankey and Gerhart will score enough to not lose you games. If your risks pan out for you then you will steamroll your league, and if not you can still rebound with trades/waivers to build a competitive team.

I don't like Andre Johnson this year and Gronk is running with a limp. At least he isn't your starting TE. I'm ok with being weak at RB if WR and TE are strong, but opportunities were missed. I would have taken Cobb. Your depth is very good but I feel you are one depth WR pick away from a problem down the stretch as the older WRs get banged up and start missing time. You need a Terrence Williams, Golden Tate, or Baby Hawk-type WR3. Team Drunk Uncles is who I'd put money on. He drafted well top to bottom.

Great WR1 and TE1, a huge reach at WR2 (old, semi-hold out, bad offense, 5th round ADP), a low end RB2 with minimum upside, another low end RB2 that might be stuck in a committee, and a decent QB. Not exactly what you'd expect when bragging about owning a family draft.

This is just like every year, I've been looking at Hunter, Ertz, and Gordon scoops since like June and now their ADPs are going to shoot into the 9th three days before our draft  Edit: Pead might have wrecked his ACL, +carries for Stacy Harold Cooplowski fucked around with this message at 05:35 on Aug 17, 2014 |

Potentially I actually think you've got the 2nd or 3rd best team (I like the #1 & maybe #2 team above yours) but you're REALLY going for broke on your strategy. I guess I'd like to see a bit more WR depth given Johnson and Jackson are going into the season with different/worse QBs throwing to them. Big ups to the team that locked up their K & D/ST before WR3.

FantasyPros has AJ80 as WR12 with an ADP in the early 4th for half PPR. I would love to know where you see him as a reach for WR2 or consider him a 5th rounder. As for Cobb, I am not high on him and would prefer AJ80 or VJax.

Re: ESPN draft settings. If draft pick trading is enabled and the draft order is set on manual does that allow me to trade /swap individual picks or does it only allow me to swap my draft position?

Fantasy football calculator has him at 5.05 with no PPR and 4.09 with 1pt PPR in 10 man leagues. E: if you don't like Cobb, IMO Keenan Allen is the guy to grab there. Or Vjax or Cruz.

Also I would hate to pile on to your ever-growing fantasy workload but if you could find it in your heart to create a 12 team, .5 PPR, 4 PaTD sheet I'd have to say that I would find your visage even more aesthetically pleasing than that of team #6.

a nigga who smoke posted:I don't hate your team but I will say that team #6 looks drat handsome for a .5 PPR. Team 6 is my wife's, so I'm sure she'll appreciate that. And there's already the sheet you want, it's the 12-0.5 tab. Zypher posted:Fantasy football calculator has him at 5.05 with no PPR and 4.09 with 1pt PPR in 10 man leagues. I was really debating between VJax and AJ80. I ended up going with AJ80 because the ceiling of his projections was higher. Rotoviz has a low projection of 10.5 PPG, median of 12.4 PPG, and high of 15 PPG which is higher than Cobb or VJax. I guess I'll have to hope that things work out better than everyone says.

It is fair to criticize the draft; the sheets are hardly to blame. He puts a lot of work into the sheets and accommodating a shitload of requests, on his own time.

Just looking for input on first couple rounds drafting 7th of 12, here are the settings: 12 Team | 0.25 comp| -3 int| 7pt all TD| 50yd/Pass| 10yd/Rush+Rec| 0.5 PPR| 25yd/Return 10 TD [Roster: QB, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/R/T, K, DEF, D, DB, DL, LB, 3IR, 10BN] I currently know the first five picks will be McCoy, Charles, AP, Forte, and Lynch. This will leave three of Megatron, Manning, Graham and Lacy to me. VBD seems to suggest Graham is the clear cut choice but I'm definitely struggling with the decision.

His current ADP is 8th round in a 14 team league but that seems way too high. I've been taking him in the position I normally take a rookie/second year WR lottery ticket So 10 or 11?

I've been playing around with mock drafts for my #1 spot in a 10 man league, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go RB-WR-WR-RB. It's been landing me a pretty consistent Shady & Joquie Bell as my two starting RBs along with something like Jordy Nelson/Antonio Brown as my two WRs with me landing Corrdelle Patterson as my next WR and Fred Jackson+Danny Woodhead. Load up on the backups who will get touches/take over rolls as injuries happen. Also, mocked the idea of taking both Ronnie Hillman and CJ Anderson. Cause Montee Ball isn't for real, you guys. It also seems like in that particularly league, I work the waiver wire like a monster because there's no wait time on a player. You can pick them up mid game, immediately. It's stupid, but it's $100 buy in, so I'm not complaining. So, by the time it's playoffs time, I always seem to have 3 or so options for a flex RB. Also, Reggie Bush is gonna get injured and Bell is gonna out play him anyways.

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about Optimal Draft Position, if such a thing even exists, and I've come to the conclusion that variability of each person's draft and their own personal strategy makes such a thing really hard to calculate. The best thing you could do is do a lot of mock drafts at each position and see how they feel to you. I have some dudes in my draft that are going to take a QB in the first round no matter what, as well as a guy at 4 that doesn't believe in taking a RB in the first round, so these things really kill all the planning you are trying to do.

If you're drafting with idiots, relax and enjoy the chance at getting a pair of elite players. I would be more than happy with a Dez Bryant / Brandon Marshall combination.

As much as we all like to strategize and calculate poo poo, this whole thing is basically gambling. If Peyton's neck get twisted the wrong way during practice one day, then Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas, and Montee Ball are all hosed and there's no way to predict that.
