A) Please don't target Mariota or Geno as your starting quarterback, and B) If you do intend to start a bottom-6 quarterback please don't draft them. Personally I like the Stafford/Tannehill/Rivers tier in rounds 8-10. Sometimes Brady falls there too. Fantasypros ADP is currently suggesting that, on average, Rivers goes later than Gostkowski. Matt Ryan I'll take if he falls to the 7th but that's not going to be terribly likely I think.

Who do y'all like better as a keeper, Martavis Bryant or Jarvis Landry in PPR. Both would be kept at the same price (almost nothing). Leaning towards Landry for some reason. Or maybe keep both and not keep Russell Wilson for the same cost??

Context: I'm in a 16-team non-PPR league with big rosters (starts 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE and 3 RB/WR/TEs). It's a keeper league, 6 kept per year. Just made a blockbuster trade to get a QB, so my current keepers are Aaron Rodgers, Eddie Lacy, Julio Jones, Vincent Jackson and Greg Olsen. So, that's only five keepers. I'm looking for my sixth keeper, and there are three people available I'm considering and my guess at what the trade cost would be: 1.) Zach Ertz (4th rounder) 2.) Charles Johnson (6th rounder) 3.) Doug Martin (5th rounder) Martin's at the premium position, but he's the riskiest bet. Johnson and Ertz are both exciting talents, but Johnson has a lot of competition this year and Ertz is more expensive. I don't know where to go.

If 16 manager's keep 6 player's a piece, that's 96 player's off the board. That might skew who is available at what round.

Yeah, at the latest, all three will be gone by the end of the second round (and I don't have a first-rounder after getting Rodgers). I do agree that Martin will probably go first after the first wave of rookie RBs are gone.

I'm in a competitive league at work. 12 teams. Points bonuses for TDs of 50+ yds. Players get bonuses for big passing/receiving/rushing games. I drew the #1 pick this year. The guy with the #10 is considering swapping with me in the 1st RND in exchange for his 3rd RND pick and my 6th RND pick. I'm leaning towards sticking with my #1 draft position because the points bonuses are  I'm torn though. I like the depth the trade could give me with an extra 3rd RND pick although I'll be missing out on a lot with the top pick.

I like drafting late round this year. You can for sure get a great WR and a pretty solid RB. RB is deeper this year than in the past few years I feel.

On a different note, I'm quickly talking myself out of grabbing Gronk in the first round if he's available. I mean, with Kelce out there (no Fasano to vulture poo poo), Zach Ertz seemingly on the fantasy breakout radar again (that 15 reception game last year, too), and then Owen Daniels that EVERYBODY is forgetting (Peyton's replacement for Julius Thomas...in a Gary Kubiak offfense). Throw in Greg Olsen as a safe lower high end pick....do we really want Gronk in the first? I'm starting to settle on the idea of only taking a RB in the first round unless Antonio Brown is still available, or Dez if you're a Cowboys fan. And you guys may claim RB is deep, but after the 3rd round it just falls off outside of Jonathan Stewart, Mark Ingram, and Frank Gore. 89 fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Aug 4, 2015 |

I like it.

Landry objectively as Bryant may get passed by Wheaton soon anyway. Also I'm really high on Landry. I loved him coming out of LSU, he did a lot on a weak offense last year, and if Tannehill takes another step, woah boy. Landry might be a PPR god next year.

If he's improved that much over last year (when he already stole Wheaton's gifted position as WR2), I don't see how he could possibly be the camp underdog. Maybe Ben just wants to talk them into a camp battle? It's just weird.

Second year playing and my league is restarting as a 10 year dynasty league. I've never drafted for dynasty, and obviously this year has such huge implications on the next several years going forward in the league. I ended up getting the 2nd overall pick (out of a 12 team league). I'm sorta puzzled as to how to approach it. Curious how my fellow goons would value players over the next ten years. Andy Luck is obviously stands out as a guy who looks to be one of the top fantasy producers at his position for the next ten years and i think he's somebody I would target if #1 doesn't take him. Other than that, I'd look at players like maybe Gronk (though injuries scare me), Julio Jones, Dez, etc. Aaron Rodgers would be intriguing as someone I'd probably get a good 4-5 more years of elite production out of. Running backs terrify me picking that high as there isn't one in the league I trust for more than a few years.

I don't think Wheaton will pass up Bryant but I'll probably keep landry anyway. Wheaton has had a few years already with weak competition to be the number two guy and he was outshined by a rookie last year. That poo poo ben is saying is just crap.

I must be the only person who is low on Landry. Stills and Parker could likely be the top 2 wrs on the Dolphins. Even if they don't, I just see where the targets to make Landry a 'ppr God' will come from.

Really hoping my real draft will go as well as this ESPN mock just did, but I highly doubt it. 12 team, short benches. 1.03 A. Peterson 2.10 D. Bryant 3.03 A. Jeffery 4.10 J. Hill 5.03 J. Randle 6.10 T. Romo 7.03 M. Bryant 8.10 D. Walker 9.03 B. LaFell 10.10 M. Colston 11.03 D. Woodhead 12.10 R. Tannehill 13.03 Seahawks 14.10 S. Gostkowski

Even if they don't, I just see where the targets to make Landry a 'ppr God' will come from. Well, he was 14th in receptions among wide receivers as a rookie, was incredibly efficient (5th in catch rate, 10th in contested catch rate, and 11th in yards after catch), and clearly has room to scale up (he played under 70% of snaps last year - 82nd among wide receivers - but when he was on the field he was 9th in targets per snap). Add that to some potential upside from Tannehill this year and an improved defense that should give them better field position and I'm definitely interested in ppr. So yeah it might actually just be you because that looks pretty good to me. Neither Stills nor Parker are remotely similar as a receiver (though I really like Stills) so he doesn't have much real competition aside from red-zone work going to Cameron and Jennings (Landry was 11th in redzone receptions last year among WRs but I'm thinking that will fall this year because of these two recent additions).

If tannehill is going to keep improving I think landry will benefit the most.

I've been running a few draft simulations on fantasypros and I always end up with the number 1 overall team, but only because my bench is incredibly higher than the other teams. My starters range from 3rd to 10th in a ten person draft. There must be some flaw in my drafting choices because this has been consistent over like 8+ drafts. Can anyone think what would be causing this?

Stills has literally been the most efficient receiver in the nfl for two consecutive years. You expect a speedster like him (he ran a 4.38 40) to have a big yards-per-target number (he's been top-3 in two consecutive years), but simultaneously having a top-3 catch rate is unheard of. Deep balls are usually lower percentage and he's blowing away the catch rate of slot receivers and running backs. His more football-oriented performance metrics are off the charts too - he was 3rd in DVOA last year and 1st the year before that, and has been the back-to-back #1 in net expected points per target. He's not a redzone threat, doesn't pick up yards after the catch, and Tannehill's deep ball is iffy at best, so I doubt he even breaks the top-20 this year. But "nothing special" isn't really the phrase I would use for Stills.

After Luck and Rodgers, it doesn't seem worth it to pick up a QB when there's still first in the depth chart RBs and WRs to grab. If you pick up late-round TEs and QBs (like you should), fantasypros will think you have a sub-par starting lineup. Don't be concerned. Having good depth and good upside risk at RB and WR is how you win leagues. Also getting the #1 team in fantasypros simulations is trivially easy because they sort your draft list by consensus rank but make the bots draft by some kind of noisy sub-optimal ADP system. fake edit: now I kind of want turn my draft simulator into something interactive so you can actually practice against reasonable competition.

It's a good way to practice when you can expect to see players, particularly since the sub-optimal ADP sometimes represents drafting with friends and family.

As it stands right now I doubt they let go of Stills when he's on that kind of contract. In contrast, Greg Jennings' contract quadruples next year and Cameron's contract increases 7-fold so if anybody is in jeopardy of getting cut from the pass-catchers it's these two.For dynasty purposes I decided a while back that my preferred move is to set up something of a hedge: get Stills and Spiller. If Stills is some kind of deep-ball ninja and/or Tannehill continues to get better, he far surpasses his ADP and acts as a serviceable WR3 (with WR2 upside) for a few years. In contrast, if his efficiency stats are entirely the consequence of catching balls from Drew "pretty good at football" Brees, I am all loving in on CJ Spiller because who the hell else is he going to throw it to (yeah yeah "Hill" whatever I'll believe it when I see it).

I'm doing a live draft in a couple weeks, but some of the managers are flakey and I know at least one won't show. What's the best draft software that also autodrafts for absentee managers? Last year we used Clickydraft, but it doesn't autodraft so we had to kind of do BPA for a team and it ended up being a little strange. Also, does anyone know if NFL.com allows the commissioner to pause a live draft? Google is ambiguous on the subject.
