Quick question on the #/#/P column. In your example you state Charles was RB1 8 times based on the first number. What does RB1 mean? He was a top 12 RB in a 12 team league?

I can hardly contain myself!

quote:

#/#/P: This is how the player did last year for a given position each week. The first two numbers represent a weekly rank in a position (0.5 means the top 50% of a position, typically used for 1 position slots such as QB and TE). P stands for played; the number of weeks the player actually played assuming a 16 week season. For example in the 12 team, 0PPR, 2RB sheet the column would be 1/2/P and Jamaal Charles has the numbers 8/9/14. That means that in 2014 using that scoring and roster setting Jamaal Charles was a RB1 a total of 8 times, equal to or better than a RB2 a total of 9 times (including the RB1 weeks), and played a total of 14 games.

Yes, RB1 means top 12 in a 12 team league, top 10 in a 10 team league, top 8 in an 8 team league, and so on.

I'm worried that I hear whispers that Bradford has barely taken a step in live drills abd looks like a statue. Paired with the fact he won't be playing any preseason games and I have to wonder if he's as ready as Chip wants people to believe. I guess the same could be said about Murray missing pretty significant practice time and preseason games under the guise "we're just limiting his touches after a heavy workload"

I was under the impression that Bradford was starting tomorrow against Baltimore.

On the topic of Beersheets, do you guys use them as a guide for trades during the season? For instance the Jeremy Hill owner in my league offered me his Gronk (6.2) for my Jeffery (4.9) plus Gio (1.7). Combining the values thats a 6.2 value player for my 6.6 value players... or do the player values on Beersheets not work that way?

After week 4, draft position is basically out the window and you go on production up to that point.

This. ADP is only helpful for determining a draft strategy. The regular season shakes the box, and throws it on the floor. Then a kid comes along and stomps some of your guys into the dirt.

I am in a league with .25 pts per completion 6 patd and 1 ppr. Does the qb change make a big enough difference to warrant using something other than the 10 team 1 ppr sheet? I have pick 6 and I am thinking of reaching for a qb with my second round pick.

Yeah that really provides a boost to the pass heavy QBs. I'd likely target Rodgers in the first after the elite RBs are gone.

Too many eggs in one basket for me, but I understand why you would want to. Separately, you'd take either one, but one bad game/hurt QB and your WR1 and WR2 are taken out.

If you are really concerned about having two WRs from the same team, grab Andre Johnson instead. He should be available in the same round as Cobb and should do just fine with Luck.

Tried to get at you on IRC but the podcast I recommended that's in the OP, Fantasy Underground, is no more. It was Christopher Harris and Field Yates. Field is now an ESPN on air person and Christopher Harris has left ESPN to start his own site (harrisfootball.com) and a solo podcast (there are guests). It's called the "Harris Football" podcast and it's actually a better podcast than Fantasy Underground (5 days a week instead of 2, different guests every episode so there's more points of view).

He originally wanted Jeffery and Forsett for Gronk, I'm trying (successfully, I think) to talk him down to Gio Bernard instead of Forsett.

Edit: This is the same owner who autodrafted Kevin White because of a bad Comcast connection, so he's already down a WR.

To sign them is my real test

With full no movement clause
Guy in my league just lost Benjamin (8th round keeper) and another guy had Graham (8th rd), Maclin (11th), Matthews (13th), and Hopkins (17th) and can only keep three. Guy with Benjamin had two 2nds and I have two 3rds and three 4ths. So we organized this:


I receive: 2.6, 7.6, 10.1
Team A receives: Eric Weddle, 4.10, 5.7, 18.3
Team B receives: Jordan Matthews, Elvis Dumervil, 3.10, 9.6, 13.1


I was planning on keeping Weddle in the 16th, but now I'm going to keep Levy in the 8th because I have 9 picks in the first 7 rounds and am keeping Barr in the 17th and Bowman in the 22nd. I threw in Dumervil for whatever.

I now have:

1.7, 2.3, 2.6, 3.7, 4.3, 4.12, 5.10, 6.7, 7.6, 8.5 (Levy), 9.1, 9.10, 10.1, 10.10 (Hill), 12.10 (Charles), 16.10 (Anderson), 17.10 (Barr), 21.8, 22.7, 22.11 (Bowman), 23.2, 23.6, 23.10, 23.12, 24.5

It's a 12-team league, keep 2 offense, two defense, one choice of either, and one optional free player in the last 5 rounds (21-25). I've got a handshake deal in place to trade for Rodgers (1.10) for 24.5 and a swap of my 2016 3rd round pick for his 2016 19th.

Based on player pool, My first 7 picks should be:

1.7) Jones/Cobb/Green
1.10) Rodgers
2.3) A. Johnson/Sanders/Tate/Jackson/Marshall
2.6) A. Johnson/Sanders/Tate/Jackson/Marshall
3.7) Spiller/Ivory/Martin/Blount/K. Allen/V. Jackson
4.3) Bernard/Landry/Wallace/Boldin/J. Brown
4.12) Bernard/Landry/Wallace/Boldin/J. Brown

Start QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/T, W/R/T, K, D, DB, DB, DB, DL, LB, LB, LB

Potential Starting roster:

QB: Rodgers
WR: Cobb/Jones/Green
WR: A. Johnson/Sanders/Tate/Jackson/Marshall
RB: Charles
RB: Anderson
TE: Who cares
W/T: A. Johnson/Sanders/Tate/Jackson/Marshall
W/R/T: Hill
BN: Spiller/Ivory/Martin/Blount/K. Allen/V. Jackson
BN: Bernard/Landry/Wallace/Boldin/J. Brown
BN: Bernard/Landry/Wallace/Boldin/J. Brown

I'm also totally planning to go above ADP and use two of my 5th/6th/7th for Agholor and Stevie Johnson and use the other of those three for the best LB available.


Tell me how badly I am going to dominate these people?

Well if that guy wants to give you Rodgers for a 3rd next year, I would do it. As in I personally would do it. Don't know what everyone else will say but your team looks real good.

Well, basically a 4th or 5th when you factor in the "NFL draft value chart". Call it in!

I'm probably in the minority here, but I wouldn't mind finding a new fantasy football podcast that is decently funny, even if it does go into morning zoo routines at the expense of total football news/coverage. I've got a 50 minute drive to and from work, and most of the "serious" podcasts have been lulling me to sleep lately.

I do listen to the Fantasy Focus podcast for this reason, but they're still feeling out the Yates/Berry team. Any similar suggestions?

Is Matthew Berry one of the ones you mentioned, probably, IDK the names, listened to one on keeper leagues while I was mock-drafting and they were talking about going to like a 'morning show' format in a way, with humor and other crap, but still talking FF. I like Berry so am probably biased, but I thought it was good, though it is the one and only time I heard one of his podcasts.

Matthew Berry does get a lot of hate around here, but I find him entertaining. I can take the FF advice with a grain of salt (Vick #1 :argh: ), but I like to listen to his podcast (yes, that's the Fantasy Focus I mentioned above) and enjoyed his book.

I've always found the Fantasy Focus entertaining but Yates and Berry just aren't doing it for me. I might still keep listening because a couple of my league mates are big Berry fans and it help to know what guys they might be targeting.

Sanity check for y'all:

Work league, 12 team Yahoo that will HOPEFULLY become a 0.5 PPR (right now it's 0.5 point per receiving first down).

I'm pick 4/12. I'll see how things shake out but if it goes Charles-Bell-Peterson I'll probably take Brown over Lacy/Lynch/whoever.

However after some review, I noticed that the Steelers have the WORST WR/QB strength of schedule this year while Julio is looking downright rosy.

I've thought about taking Julio as the 4th pick (his health scares me a bit, though), also thought about trading draft spots up to 8th/9th and hoping Julio falls that far, or I could just be overthinking it because SOS prior to the season often means jack diddly and Brown is drat near matchup-proof regardless.

Anyone worrying about Brown/Bell (they're 26th in RB SOS) regression this year due to SOS, maybe making them not play up to their ADP?

No need to get cute at pick #4. Go with Brown. If any of Charles-Bell-Peterson is there, take them instead.
