Allen Robinson would be my pick there, because he is the only one (besides maybe LaFell) who has WR1 upside in his bound of possible outcomes. You need to hit a home run now that you've hosed up your team composition so badly, and IMO he's the best bet of that lot.

I agree he has massive upside, but he's still a first year WR, it's never a good idea to go balls in on one of those as your WR1.

Your next six picks have to be WRs, because you're going to have to hope for someone to have a huge breakout, and also probably do a lot of horse trading and scouring the waiver wire every week. It's cool you got Luck, and Romo as a backup is crazy good, but you're only going to get points from one or the other every week. I can't fathom drafting Yeldon before a WR1.

But those are guys I am targeting as my WR3 with the hopes that they have upside, not my WR 1 or 2. He really needed a solid anchor WR1 before now, so that we'd be talking about Allen Robinson as a WR2 and Charles Johnson as a WR3; that's a lineup I can get behind.

I think his point was that Agholor has good upside as Chip's X receiver, not that Matthews has diminished value. And he is definitely the starting X, he's not just on the field for 3 WR sets. Cooper got demoted and Agholor is over Huff right now.

pmchem posted:Any argument behind that statement? TEN seems happy with him -- contract extension -- and he caught over 100 balls a couple years ago. Allow me to rephrase: Kendall Wright is an adequate, low-upside slot receiver. I guess if you're playing PPR (barf) he has some value, but he's got way less upside than some of the other guys in his ADP range. Even if Mariota proves to be amazing, and has a fantastic rookie QB season, Wright isn't going to be their RZ option and is still playing for a bad team with a bad coach.

Metapod posted:Wright had 5 red zone tds last year if anyone was wondering I am assuming DGB will be their new go-to option down there, but I also almost entirely withhold my judgement on these things until I see some pre-season usage/scheming. We shall see. The other thing about the Titans is that bad quarterback play was only part of the reason they sucked. Ken Whisenhunt is not somebody I have a ton of confidence in, tbh.

I'm in an interesting position draft-wise this year. Here's my current roster of keepers: QB: Russel Wilson (7th round keeper) WR1: Odell Beckham (18th round keeper) WR2: Allen Robinson (17th round keeper) RB1: Jeremy Hill (Another 7th rounder I traded for) RB2: Jonathan Stewart (16th round keeper) TE: Travis Kelce (12 round keeper) Dat core roster.  I traded my first, fifth, and six round picks last year, but have two 4ths and two 7ths, the latter two being used as per above. All of the best RBs will be kept until about the late third round, but I'm thinking of targeting somebody like Frank Gore or Mark Ingram with my third rounder. The thinking there is a) always nice to have more RB depth, and b) a third round pick is best used on somebody with lower keeper than this-season value, as their cost will increase next year and price them out of contention anyways. Might as well get a useful vet instead. In the 4th, though, I'm thinking of targeting Gurley, with an aim to keep him next year as a third-rounder. I'd also target Andre Johnson as my WR2/3 (depending on how Robinson performs), for pretty much the same logic I outlined above for Gore. Then I'd go back to targeting high-upside rookie/young WRs down the line, guys like Agholor, Charles Johnson, etc. I also probably need to pick up another TE. Thoughts?

Here's my current roster of keepers: If you can stack a RB1/WR1 and another WR2/RB2 on top of those guys, you're doing fantastic for depth. I'd try moving up in the draft by dealing a bunch of mid-round picks to a team that's rebuilding. Maybe a 2nd and two 4ths for a 1st round pick? Or a 3rd and two 4ths for a 2nd round pick? If I were on the other side of that offer, I would give it serious consideration. Sure you don't pick again until round 8 or whatever, but you don't really need to. You have 3 starters at RB and WR, which is enough to weather byes and maybe an injury or two. You can start to grab those fliers and backup QBs and TEs at round 8 just fine.

We need 1 more to start the goon MFL10. To quickly recap, it's draft only, best ball, no in season management or lineups. Think of it as a mock draft with  on the line.http://football20.myfantasyleague.com/2015/public?O=12&ACTION=LIST&PASSWORD=goon2015 I have created a thread that gives some additional information. I'd like to repeatedly start a new one after the current one nears the end. It'd be great if we could do a handful of them with all goons. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3730692&userid=70313#post447643078 Its Miller Time fucked around with this message at 05:17 on Jul 12, 2015 |

I'm commissioner in one of my leagues and to determine draft order, we are having a combine of sorts at the local bar but I am looking for a copy of the wonderlic (or equivalent). However, because I am in the league, I cant really look at the test before draft day in two weeks. So basically, could someone help me find a wonderlic and tell me if its appropriate for people without a ton of football knowledge (about half the league isnt ultra knowledgeable about the sport/not American). I found one on Page 2 but I dont know if its any good

If so it's not super clear what the best position is, anyway (I'd like to see an analysis about that "in general", though the effect is going to be super small)

Someone recommend me a MFL Android app please. I know they're all third party and mostly crap but I need something for my less tech savvy league members... some who are still suffering culture shock from the ESPN-to-MFL transition. Also, suggestions on any ways to improve MFLs interface via CSS plug-ins would be welcome. I'm not regretting the transition from ESPN (hell, processing keepers took 3 mins vs. 3 hours on ESPN last year) but god it's annoying trying to find FAs, etc. Especially the non-keepers that were just dropped in my league.

We're trying something different this year with our draft order. First round order is determined NBA draft lottery style. So last year's worst team has the best odds of grabbing the first pick. Second round order is also determined by another NBA draft lottery but odds are now determined by the first round order (the twelfth pick gets best odds at first pick in the second round). And then it continues like that through the last round. I had the 7th best odds of getting the first pick and I got....the 7th pick. But I lucked out and got the 1st pick of the second round (which made my third round pick much lower, 7th, and then a stroke of bad luck with the 4th round, 10th pick). So it all balances out.

As an SF homer, I can say dump that defense for sure. The SF defense has been absolutely gutted during the offseason, and it wasn't exactly performing great last year anyway. Antone Smith is coming off a broken leg, and is the Falcon's RB3 at best. He's a total crapshoot for relevant production this year, so I'd say he's dumpable. Dennis Pitta is also coming off of serious hip injury and isn't exactly a star TE in the first place. I'd drop him too.

Here's our 12-man league and the starting odds for the 1st round: Better Than Boraks - 15.3% ATL Dirty Birds 13 - 14.1% BBQers - 12.8% Cycloptical - 11.5% Flying Spaghetti Monsters - 10.3% U.S.S.

Babineaux Chi-Town Mob Gridiron Goons Cycloptical Hitmen Groan Men Flying Spaghetti Monsters Darkness A couple of losers (Flying Spaghetti Monsters, 5th to 11th, and Cycloptical, 4th to 8th) and a couple of winners (Money Ballers, 8th to 2nd, and Hitmen, 12th to 9th). As for the later rounds, the big loser, Spaghetti Monsters, nabbed the 6th, 9th, and 5th picks of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounds, respectively. The big winner, Money Ballers, nabbed the 8th, 3rd, and 11th picks of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounds, again respectively. The average round position ended up being pretty close. Everyone hovering around 6 with a few above and a few below. Exactly what you expect when you randomize position each round.

Antone Smith is buried on the depth chart and was a total crapshoot even before breaking his leg. There's no reason to carry a defense in the offseason. You could make at least 2-3 more easy cuts to that team. Pitta is coming off his second hip surgery in two years and no longer has Gary "TE whisperer" Kubiak, James Starks is only useful if you also have Lacy, and who the hell is rostering Devin Hester in TYOOL 2015?
