89 posted:I know I'm a bit biased towards the Cowboys, but I just don't see the value in DeMarco Murray. High risk pick. He has durability issues. Annnnd, the Cowboys are looking at having the worst defense in the league. So, the Cowboys are gonna pass-pass-pass. Sure, the Cowboys have a top 3 run blocking unit, but they too stupid to run. Even without the Cowboys hate glasses on, because of those issues, I see him as a 3rd round talent. You guys are probably gonna think I'm crazy, but let's just watch this season. Best situation for Murray is if Romo's back gives out and they have to force feed Murray the ball instead of focusing on a passing game because Brandon Weeden is....Brandon Weeden. Think you're forgetting that Murray is a really good receiving back too

Keeper Question - $200 budget can keep 5; PPR - Superflex so defacto 2 QB League but I don't think all of the other owners approach it that way Tony Romo, Dal QB - $18 Doug Martin, TB RB - $38 Giovani Bernard, Cin RB - $29 Shane Vereen, NE RB - $11 Brandon Marshall, Chi WR - $27 Demaryius Thomas, Den WR - $29 Coby Fleener, Ind TE- $2 Panthers D/ST D/ST - $3 Matt Prater, Den K - $2 Carson Palmer, Ari QB - $2 Jordan Cameron, Cle TE - $11 Joique Bell, Det RB - $5 Andre Ellington, Ari RB - $9 Terrance Williams, Dal WR - $3 Dennis Pitta, Bal TE - $2 Eli Manning, NYG QB - $2 Marcus Lattimore, SF RB - $1 Definitely keeping the bolds - Marshall/Thomas/Ellington ($65 total) Question on the other 2 slots is up between Martin, Bernard, Vereen, Bell, Cameron and Pita I'm leaning towards Martin/Vereen but could see Martin/Bernard, Vereen/Bernard Starting RBs in the league are scarce and tend to get bidded up fast so if I throw Martin back in the pool I don't know if I would get him back @ 38 Thoughts?

Really quick, dumb question but I want to make sure of something because I'm having to manually fix waivers in my league right now. After the draft everyone is put on waivers for a couple of days. Lets say I put a claim in for someone on waivers, but nobody else claims that guy. Does it burn my priority? Or only when two people claim the same player?

So I need to drop 4 players to fill my league's K/DEF/DP/DB slots. It's a 10 team, non-ppr, standard scoring keeper league. (3 starting WR slots though) Here is my bench: Toby Gerhart Joique Bell Steven Ridley Wes Welker Colin Kaepernick Michael Crabtree Bernard Pierce Zach Ertz Lance Dunbar The three obvious choices are Dunbar, Ertz, and Pierce. Not sure about who I should let go as the fourth (or maybe just play the first week with no starter at one of the K/DEF/DP/DB slots)? I heard some nonsense about Ridley being cut? If that's true I guess I'd drop him, but I can't see that happening. Here's my starting roster if it helps: QB- Matt Ryan RB- Montee Ball RB- LeVeon Bell FLEX- Andre Ellington WR- Demaryius Thomas WR- Andre Johnson WR- Percy Harvin TE- Martellus Bennett RCarr fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Aug 28, 2014 |

All kinds of Gordon stuff: Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Per @mortreport to ESPN: WR Josh Gordon will explore the possibility of playing in the Canadian Football League the remainder of the year. Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Browns official to @PatMcManamon on Josh Gordon to CFL: "He can’t per his nfl contract…and you can say a source says he can’t…" Josh Gordon - WR - Browns Suspended Josh Gordon will not accrue a season toward free agency in 2014. When a player is suspended for a full year, his contract tolls. So instead of becoming a free agent in 2016, he won't be eligible until 2017. It's a sliver of good news for the Browns, as they'll still have an elite talent under contract cheaply for two seasons. Gordon doesn't turn 24 years old until April.

I guess there's the injury risk... but I'm not on board the Bernard train at all this year, at least not at that ADP.

If no then I say go for it because the Draft Dominator Desktop program is worth it alone. If you have already drafted I would probably skip it. You can get the same daily news updates from Roto for free, and while some of the in-season roster tools were nifty last year, I wouldn't say they were worth $20.

Trade question! I went RB RB RB to start the draft so I don't super need the 4th RB - it would be more for depth and to add more tradable pieces on my team since there's a lot of junk on my bench. My team, 0 PPR, QB 2xRB 3xWR 1xTE 1xFlex: QB: Cam Newton, Johnny Manziel RB: Jamaal Charles, Montee Ball, Andre Ellington, Knile Davis, CJ Anderson, Jonathan Dwyer WR: Michael Crabtree, TY Hilton, Jeremy Maclin, Danny Amendola TE: Zach Ertz, Tim Wright DST: Rams, Saints K: Dan Bailey I went from camping with 0 internet for 5 days to driving 8 hours to getting a hotel room and drafting on my phone having done very little research. Without any real knowledge of sleepers, I spent the end of my draft taking D/STs (I dropped a third DST for Tim Wright), handcuffs, and Johnny Manziel - not the best. There's a team with Doug Martin, Alfred Morris, Roddy White, and Larry Fitzgerald. Is it worth it to offer Jamaal Charles for any two of them? Or am I being stupid and I should just keep Charles? My original thought was Charles for Martin and Morris - even though my WRs are pretty bad, I feel like I should just get the most value possible and keep trading. The issue is that I had Charles last year and I'm having trouble pulling the trigger on offering him in trades so I wanted to get some opinions first.

Kicker question: I drafted in a 10 person, 1PPR league last night. We start 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1FLX, 1K and a Defense I did not bother drafting a kicker at the time but I will need to grab one before the season starts. Any thoughts on who I should drop for a kicker? QB: Peyton Manning, Philip Rivers RB: Arian Foster, Zac Stacy, Ben Tate, Danny Woodhead, Devonta Freeman WR: Dez Bryant, Michael Crabtree, Cordarrelle Patterson, Kendall Wright, Kelvin Benjamin, Markus Wheaton, Tavon Austin TE: Heath Miller I'm thinking maybe Tavon Austin. Any thoughts?

Psmith posted:Kicker question: Do you have a D/ST? If not wouldn't you need to drop two guys? It's between Austin, Wheaton, and Rivers. Between the other 5 guys on your team I just don't see you playing those last two WRs much. And barring Manning finally realizing he's old, you're not going to play Rivers until Manning's bye week and in a ten-team league there should be someone else you can get.

I want to hang onto Rivers until at least week 4. After that a bunch of the idiots in my league didn't draft good QBs so I was going to see what I could get. Someone is starting Carson Palmer. I'm leaning heavily toward Austin but I don't have to make my decision for another week or so

Honestly though, I would wait a few weeks before doing any trades. There's no telling how the season will shake out (keep an eye on the waiver wire) and if your WR turn into a dumpster fire you can always move Charles then. *Don't trade Charles unless you absolutely have to... your receivers are 'eh' but you also have one of the best RB in fantasy.

Despite never having done it before, I find myself in this league which uses IDP and I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it. Are there any good rules of thumb to putting together a decent defensive roster? I'm trying to avoid whatever the equivalent of drafting a first-round kicker or the like.

Gordon got dropped in my snake and my auction league, so I'm using my number 5 waiver in one and 2 waiver bucks in the other to pick him up, dropping my kickers. Fingers crossed on the restraining order. Edit: also hoping a decision isn't reached until Monday so I don't get outbid.

a nigga who smoke posted:a lot of people in this thread are clearly lower on Gio than I am I just want to emphasize something that I've been noticing since HillChat sprung up: No one is down on Gio, he is a legit RB1, I just think a lot of people who are really vocal on Gio are severely underestimating how much the Bengals will run and how much Hill will be involved. Aside from the one getting injured and the other becoming the bell-cow, their best-case scenarios are For Gio: Gio is an RB1 and Hill is a weekly, or matchup dependent flex play For Hill: Gio is a lower-end RB1/high-end RB2 and Hill is a weekly flex play with RB2 upside depending on matchup. I hate handcuffing RBs because it's a waste of a roster spot and if Forte or McCoy go down you're kinda hosed anyway, and you should be playing the wire I'm the first place if you're not a terrible owner. That said, when it comes to a backfield that has two viable performers, there's no reason to not get both if your bench allows. Especially if one is going early/mid-2nd and the other is going in the goddamn 10th. Sorry for the effortpost, but I feel like there's this pro-Gio/anti-Hill school of thought springing up and it's stupid. I can't speak for everyone, but I don't think I've seen one person tout Hill who was also down on Gio. I would gladly own both.

Yeah, I really don't think too much of Wright necessarily and I'm not exactly buying into the hype, I just need a person that's going to play and TE started flying off the shelves early in my draft. People grabbed backups way before I even grabbed my first. My waiver options are really Wright, Ladarius Green (doesn't seem like Gates is going away for the time being), Walker, and Dwayne Allen.

On Demarco chat: he's running in the same offense that last year made Reggie Bush fantasy relevant. He's an excellent pass catcher and he's gonna beast in PPR. Plus he's a 3 down back and the goal line back. Soooo, as long as he's healthy, he gonna put up numbers.
