BTW, this draft happened this past Saturday. I'm #12. The most  pick happened in round 2, when Jordy Nelson was picked up in the second round. The room went dead silent. No one said a word, and they did have draft sheets (but obviously didn't have them updated to account for the Nelson injury that had happened the previous week). A question...should we have said anything? Just curious as to what others do in that situation. Sorry for the potato quality, we were rushing to get out because we were an hour late.

Gronk, then Olsen/Kelce/Graham/Bennett, then a whole lotta bullshit that plays equal to every other TE with little variation. You can ignore the position and roughly get low end starter production anyway imo

I've changed the draft date of my redraft fantasy football league to Monday 9/7 at 8:30PM ET. To reiterate, it is a $50 buy in, 12 teams ESPN, 2/3/1 RB/WR/flex, 1 PPR and 6 PPPTD. Winner nets a cool $500. I do a brief commentary every week that I've been told is funny. This has garnered praise from several highly respected sources including my girlfriend and people on the internet such as Noted Fantasy Football Player Amergin: Amergin posted:FWIW his commentaries are pretty entertaining/helpful and are probably the main reason I'm joining this league as it's my... 10th league this year. I also run analytics that show each player's scoring history and calculate stats such as the average and high/low score for each player, week and the whole season thus far and reward trophies from that each week. Thread with leaguesafe and ESPN links: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3739014&pagenumber=1&perpage=40#post449543454 We have 4/12. I'll drop it to 10 people and add a flex position if we can't fill 12. Do your goonly patriotic duty and join  .

Well my work league just finally got set-up today, draft is in 7 hours, scoring and rosters are a bit wonky. Since there's no time for a beer sheet, I'm turning here for advice on how to adjust drafting for scoring system. Roster and important scoring below. I'm thinking this means I shouldn't wait too long on QB, and load up on WR's due to starting 3 of them in addition to 2 flex spots and having 1 ppr?

I did pretty poorly in my auction draft this year, though so I can't really judge. Yeah, I wasn't complaining about Lacy falling to me at #12. I was hoping for CJ Anderson, and when Lacy was there....  Since we do 2RB, 2WR and CJ was there for me in the second, I thought, why the hell not? And yes, Lynch went at 15.

Since there's no time for a beer sheet, I'm turning here for advice on how to adjust drafting for scoring system. Roster and important scoring below. Go to fftoday.com and put in as many of those scoring settings as you can, or if you can directly in your league, just look at scoring from last year if the settings didn't change. Having 1 point per completion and -1 per incompletion should make the top QBs super valuable, but I don't have an intuition about exactly how much so. Check the range of average scoring per game of the top 10 QBs using those settings. If the top QBs had big advantages over the bottom half of the top 10, like 5+ points per game, you really need to get a hold of a top QB. I'd guess that you should plan to take Rodgers or Luck with your first pick given those changes, but I'm not totally positive. As for WR, yeah 1 PPR and being able to start 5 means load up on WRs. sourdough fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Aug 31, 2015 |

While that really sucks for that guy, it's his responsibility to check for injuries/suspensions. I did a quick player news search before every pick to make sure I didn't miss a crucial injury or something. He'll learn his lesson for next year though.

Non-QB position doesn't show up until #20 - Antonio Brown.  Edit: I think even with the increased QB scoring, it'd still be good to start WR-WR at the very least, maybe WR with my first three rounds even, with being able to start that many good ones will get scarce fast and it'd be a huge advantage?

Russel Wilson or Big Ben - worth taking in the 1st round as 7/8 in a 2QB, 4 PPTD league if Luck / Rodgers are taken and you're looking at Lynch / CJ / Forte / Hill / Brown / DT / Dez as your other first pick options? Manning and Brees are likely there too, but I'm down on them as Elite (1st / 2dn round) QBs this year

You'll just have to grab your second QB in one of your next few picks.

So, since we don't have an IDP thread (yet?), I need some advice on an LB. Current available potential 3-down linebackers are: Sean Witherspoon, Christian Jones, Shea McLellin, Vincent Rey, A.J. Hawk, Anthony Hitchens, Sam Barrington, Tamba Hali, Kelvin Sheppard, Dannell Ellerbe, Jon Beason, Devon Kennard, Menti T'eo, Donald Butler, Melvin Ingram, Michael Wilhoite, Kwon Alexander, Danny Lansanah, Zach Brown, Brian Orakpo, Derrick Morgan, Avery Williamson Guys who I've been mainly interested up to this point in are the two Bears LBs (mainly because the Bears are going to get run all over when they're losing every game), Hawk, Barrington, Brown. Anyone have any insight on battles/pre-season performance/whatever that I should know about?

Drafted this on Saturday. 1. (3) Eddie Lacy RB 2. (18) Odell Beckham Jr. WR 3. (23) LeSean McCoy RB 4. (38) Russell Wilson QB 5. (43) Joseph Randle RB 6. (58) Keenan Allen WR 7. (63) Chris Ivory RB 8. (78) Jordan Cameron TE 9. (83) Mike Wallace WR 10. (98) Torrey Smith WR 11. (103) James Starks RB 12. (118) Fred Jackson RB 13. (123) Stevie Johnson WR 14. (138) Carolina DEF 15. (143) Mason Crosby K My WR core is a little weak but I'm pretty confident in my RBs with the potential of career seasons for Randle or Ivory ... the FJax cut today is interesting but I'm holding pat until I know where he lands. If I need to upgrade my WRs, I can always reach out to this team which has the opposite of my problem: 1. (10) Dez Bryant (Dal - WR) 2. (11) Julio Jones (Atl - WR) 3. (30) Alshon Jeffery (Chi - WR) 4. (31) Melvin Gordon (SD - RB) 5. (50) Greg Olsen (Car - TE) 6. (51) Doug Martin (TB - RB) 7. (70) Tony Romo (Dal - QB) 8. (71) Matthew Stafford (Det - QB) 9. (90) Devin Funchess (Car - WR) 10. (91) Ryan Mathews (Phi - RB) 11. (110) Arian Foster (Hou - RB) 12. (111) Victor Cruz (NYG - WR) 13. (130) Antonio Gates (SD - TE) 14. (131) New England (NE - DEF) 15. (150) Graham Gano (Car - K)

If it's a money league, then yeah just laugh at the guy. We ain't playin' pattycake boys. If somebody wants to throw their money down and draft without knowing the single most relevant fantasy injury of the season (which wasn't even all that recent), then that's on them. That's slightly exaggerated of course but I personally don't enjoy playing with people who aren't tuned in.

TubeStank posted:Hawk sucks. Do not take Hawk. I mean yeah, but he's a starting volume tackler on a team that's probably going to be in a lot of close games and he doesn't have a lot of competition while Burfict is out. Bad defensive players are good IDPs sometimes. Especially CBs, the more you're picked on, the more tackle opportunities

One owner helping another owner out with advice gives an unfair advantage. You can arrange a handicap or assist thing in advance of the league if it's above board and everyone agrees: like, say if someone in your league drops out at the last minute and you bring in a co-worker who knows nothing about football, so everyone agrees that Judy the football expert is going to give Sam the newbie advice. In that case, Judy can tell Sam "no man, Nelson's injured." Otherwise? What else is Fantasy Football, than a contest involving who can make the smartest picks? As soon as your owners are advising each other, that flies out the window. Why bother playing at all?

We drafted on ESPN just a day or two after Jordy tore his ACL. Kelvin Benjamin and Jordy were both at their pre-injury ADPs on the draft board and it was known if anyone was to disconnect, they would autodraft two injured players. Sure enough, someone did and ended up with them both. We all knew the risks going into it and that owner has to deal with it, hes getting no help from us in a money league. Edit: Moral of the story is if you are joining a fantasy league for money you need to know what you are getting into and its not up to the league to right your mistakes.

It's crazy how bad Yahoo's autodraft / autobid is, still. My brother ended up with Gronkowski as TE1, Graham as superflex, and Olson as backup I guess? Wouldn't be that hard to fix, Yahoo, and fantasy football is pretty much the only reason I and a bunch of other people still know you exist!

Looking for some trade advice if possible. League is 10-man 2QB ESPN Standard Scoring. (QB, QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, FLEX, D/ST, K, 6BE) I drafted 4 QBs and only have 2 WRs. This is my current team: --- QB: Drew Brees QB: Tony Romo RB: C.J. Anderson RB: Justin Forsett WR: Brandon Marshall WR: Anquan Boldin TE: Travis Kelce FLEX: Melvin Gordon D/ST: Broncos K: Justin Tucker BE: Cam Newton BE: Rashad Jennings BE: Jordan Cameron BE: Isaiah Crowell BE: Andy Dalton BE: Shane Vereen --- And this is the team that I'm looking to trade with: QB: Sam Bradford QB: Jay Cutler RB: Jamaal Charles RB: Frank Gore WR: Dez Bryant WR: T.Y. Hilton TE: Tyler Eifert FLEX: Jordan Matthews D/ST: Ravens K: Cody Parkey BE: Jarvis Landry BE: Ameer Abdullah BE: John Brown BE: Knile Davis BE: Eddie Royal BE: Tyrod Taylor --- Specifically he wants to trade T.Y. Hilton for a QB upgrade. Any opinions on some reasonable offers I could make?

My 3 LB starters and D Flex are Levy, Bowman, Barr, and Marshall so I'm pretty squarely looking for a back-up. Should I be looking for high floor so should I be trying to hit a home run? Barrington was the guy I was probably highest on. Is Christian Jones really that bad of a choice? Someone has to make tackles in Chicag..it's probably going to be Rolle, right? Yeah, nevermind.

Anyone think it's worth stashing fjax at this point (and having to drop one of vereen/blue/stevie)? I assume no, esp if he goes to NE, but he still has some legs if he finds the right situation. Also, my (auction draft, standard scoring, QB/2RB/2WR/TE/FL, 12 team league) team feels okay, but is full of mid-range players after julio/cj: QB: tannehill RB: CJ, forsett, yeldon, rashad jennings, vereen, blue, ronnie hillman WR: julio, landry, steve smith sr, stevie TE: rudolph I'm debating trying to flip yeldon or forsett to the teams that are in horrible RB shape (hooray yahoo auction autodraft), but beer sheets makes me nervous. Forsett has a beer sheets "$ value" of $40, and I don't think I have any chance of getting anyone to trade me the WRs that are fairly matched or a bit higher (guys like mega at $40, OBJ at $44, dez at $45). And going for the next tier - guys like Alshon or Mike Evans (at $28 each) - would mean I was getting ripped off. Beer sheets says yeldon ($25) is worth almost that much, but I have zero chance of making one of those trades happen. Am I just mentally not appreciating how much value RB1s/RB2s hold? What should I realistically hold out for with a guy like yeldon?

You need Yeldon for your flex. I think your best bet is to try flipping whichever of the Giants backs has the first big game one the season starts. Don't like any of them in non ppr. Possible exception may be if Foster owner would be willing to give a wr2 for Landry+blue after the season starts if he has a good game.

I'd try to work some trades, aside from JC you have some pretty weak RBs, Ivory could have a great year but he's on the Jets and will play behind a lot, Spiller is injury prone and not sure where he fits in the saint offense (sproles 2.0?) Freeman will likely lose out to Coleman at some point this year or best case it's a RBBC. And no clue who Matt Jones is.
