Alright yall, it's draft day in my keeper league and could use a last minute referendum on this pick. 0.5 ppr + otherwise standard, 2RB/2WR/Flex, my keepers are Forte (2), Keenan Allen (14), J. Thomas (15) First round pick, best available (most likely): QB: Rodgers, Brees RB: Ellington WR: VJax, AJ80, Cruz If you say QB, which one? This pick sucks because 5th pick will get either Brandon Marshall or Dez, so it's a big dropoff.

 This is horrible advice, don't listen to this guy. Jeremy Hill is a Day 1 starter, Freeman is a talented backup who hasn't yet taken over the job and may never do so. Jesus dude, I know you are the president of he Gio Bernard Fanclub, but it's a 50/50 (or 60/40 or 40/60, whatever) timeshare and both guys have legit value.

Steven Jackson and Jeremy Hill are both available as FA's in my league,someone dropped Jackson awhile back. I'm about to drop Gordon, should I take Jackson or Hill? Jackson's hamstring is messed up again, right? edit: I feel like this is probably a stupid question, and I'm sorry.

I received an intriguing trade off today. I get: Jamaal Charles Pierre Garcon I give: Antonio Brown Ryan Mathews The biggest question mark for me is Garcon, but at face value this feels favorable. I also already have Knile Davis as the handcuff for Charles which is nice. This is a 1 PPR league.

It's really not but you keep telling yourself that based off of one beatwriter's hunch. Jackson is injured, all the time and Freeman will be the starter. So no, I don't drop Freeman for Hill who's split.

It's not "just one beat writer", it's literally every reporter who has covered their practices, and all of their coaches. Even if Hill had exactly the same season as Lawfirm last year (which is laughable because Lawfirm is old and lovely and Hill has an over 5 YPC average so far in the preseason and is drawing rave reviews like Lacy did last year), he'd still be worth more than a backup RB who is currently #4 on the depth chart. I mean, I like Freeman as a stash and hold play, but god drat dude.

I'm struggling with how to draft from the 8-9 spots in a 12 team 0.5 PPR league. I usually find myself wanting DT there, but I feel like when I do that, all the good RBs come off the board before the pick comes back around (Murray, Ball, Martin, Lynch, etc...). Any advice?

Axl Rose posted:I don't understand why you're making fun of your league for passing on those guys. You had to pass on them also in order for them to make it to waivers. Good pickups though I guess. That would be great except I don't have infinite roster space. I drafted Trent Richardson in the 11th round as my RB5 behind McCoy/Murray/Martin/Gerhart. My WRs ended up Julio/Garcon/Sanders/Colston and I took a flyer on Gordon. I could have like, not drafted a TE, but I'm curious where you thought I had room for those dudes. And it turns out hill was drafted and dropped. Crazy.

They are going to run two backs every game, I don't see how this is hard for you to grasp. Gio is not a power runner, he didn't get those touches last year when they used lovely BJGE for them, and he certainly won't now when they drafted a much superior power rusher.

I don't know man, Those guys with DT/Bryant, Jones/Marshall/Brown, Johnson/Allen/Garcon in a PPR seems totally fine to me. I'm also drafting for 3 WR and a flex so I usually wait until FJax in the 7th/8th for my 2nd RB, you can get someone a little better if you don't grab a 4th WR like I've been doing somewhere between 5-7. I also usually go Luck/Stafford in the 5th. You can end up with Morris/Stacy/Mathews and Jennings/Gerhart/Bell if you go WR/WR/RB/RB. In a PPR, I'm totally okay with all of that.

They're not just going to heap all of BJGE's carries on to Gio. At his ADP, he's a excellent RB. And off the top of my head Bell/Bush and Jackson/Spiller are the only two tandems that will have both RBs as fantasy relevant as Bernard/Hill. Gio's a good RB1, Hill is a great RB4 with Flex upside, even low-end RB2 in PPR. I don't think that's that hard to grasp.

It's not that I'm not grasping it. I'm referring to Hill being called the week one starter and this rush to drop guys for him based on a beat writers article. Not to mention I've seen very little about him on various twitter sources and fantasy sites I read on a daily basis.

I haven't really seen anyone mention anyone that they'd drop Hill for who's really a better shot. And at his ADP Hill is definitely draftable. I also haven't seen anything that hasn't talked up Hill and frankly I'm surprised that he's still going as low as he is. He's like an 7-9th round pick depending on how deep the league is and I've seen him going in the 10th/11th pretty much every time.

Dynasty trade advice wanted (numbers are contract info for our league, we're allowed to keep anyone as long as we stay under cap, and contracts go up by $3 each year of the three year deals) Each year has a two round rookie draft Get: Pierre Garçon $29 - Year 2 Chris Johnson $20 - Year 1 Blake Bortles $1 - Year 1 2015 Round 1 Rookie Pick 2015 Round 2 Rookie Pick Give: Jamaal Charles $50 - Year 3 The other owner also offered to swap TE's with me which means I would get Julius Thomas ($14, Year 1) and give Gronk ($18, Year 2) I'm thinking I reject the deal, if I took the trade I would be left with Ellington and either Chris Johnson or Danny Woodhead at RB2 (we start 2 RB, 3 WR, no flex) and I don't think adding Garçon to a starting WR corps of Cruz, Harvin, Torrey Smith is worth the huge downgrade even with the two rookie picks for next year.

I've taken Hill in so many mocks a full round or two after Freeman and I laugh every time. I'm not against Freeman at all, but it still amazes me. Hill's floor is emergency flex play with a low-end RB2 ceiling, Freeman's ceiling is basically a weekly flex starter. Just because Jackson is on death's door doesn't turn the Falcons backfield into any less of a precarious fantasy situation. Falcons offense?
