Given that Alfred Morris averages a full yard less per carry without RG3 and the presence of Matt Jones, should I cut bait early on him? I'm thinking of a straight swap for Jonathan Stewart, or maybe even Yeldon. 0 PPR

Doltos posted:1 PPR 6 points per TD I think the Manning/Forte/Landry owner wins by a solid amount. Landry and Forte (and Cobb also) are PPR monsters. Luck will be better than Manning this year but its not a huge difference. I don't like Carlos Hyde this year because the O Line for 49ers looks loving awful and even with volume, I think he is going to throw up some really bad weeks. Here is how I break it down. Manning/Luck are just about a wash, slight edge to Luck. Forte is much better than Hyde. AJ Green is better than Landry but I think it will be close this year. Landry was getting a lot more targets down the stretch last year and that should continue. With the Luck group, you are taking on more risk with Hyde/Green than Forte/Landry(Cobb) and so my personal preference would be the Manning group.

Not having a bellcow & incorporating a RBBC does not necessarily push a team to air it out more. If the QB is terrible and the line is deficient at pass-protection, what good would that do? (generally speaking, not that DAL couldn't air it out. Clearly they can). According to reporters close to the team, DAL is completely bought into the idea that their best-line-in-the-NFL will be able to produce regardless of who is carrying the rock, and all three backs will see work. Check out this Roto post where one DAL observer gave his opinion on what the weekly breakdown of runs would come out to: quote:According to Yahoo's Charles Robinson, the Cowboys' plan to use an RBBC backfield is "not a bluff," and the rotation will be a "committee in the purest NFL form." quote:The Fort Worth Star-Telegram suggests Joseph Randle may open the season handling 10-15 carries per game "with (Darren) McFadden slightly below that."

FWIW, I don't remember where I read it, but I vaguely remember seeing that Colt McCoy was a big part of this, and that games Cousins played, Morris wasn't much worse than with RG3. Slightly still, but just slightly.

Well, it's not Fred Jackson....My guess is RBBC for Week 1 if Shady can't go, with Boobie Dixon leading the way, and Karlos Williams/Bryce Brown mixing in. It'll still be run-heavy.. 4th preseason game may give indication of who's leading on the depth chart.

The commish has given me confirmation that defensive players that score touchdowns will get the 6 points for that. So where should I be looking for JJ Watt? It is a deep league, 12 teams, tons of offensive starting spots, and a rather deep bench. IDP of course. No PPR, 6QBPTD.

Do it in half of a heartbeat. 1.01 is roughly equal to 1.03 this year and you might still get lacy. That extra pick is a championship if you're careful with it!

Lacy isn't even the best running back in fantasy, if you want to grab him at 3 he will most likely be there. Le'Veon Bell, Charles, ADP or Antonio Brown could all easily go before him.

I find it a compelling argument personally, though since I have no 1.01 picks this year I never made up my mind. But I don't think its fair to say outright that any of the Top 4 (Charles, Lacy, Peterson or Bell) "aren't the best". They all have strengths and weaknesses that pretty much wash out to me at first glance. Franks Happy Place fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Sep 2, 2015 |

This is my first year doing an Auction draft, and I think I my weakest position is WR. I have a bunch of middle of the road guys, but not a single WR1, except maybe Edelman. However, the Patriots are kinda making me nervous. I would like to try and trade some of these middle of the road guys to get a single first tier WR. It is a PPR League and we start QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR/RB, TE, K, DEF. My team is: QB: Eli Manning RB: Forsett, Gore, Crowell, Abdullah, Gurley WR: Edelman, V. Jackson, Decker, S. Smith, Sr., M. Wallace, and M. Wheaton TE: Kelce My thought was maybe trying to package Kelce, Smith, Decker to try and get Dez. The team that owns Dez has the following WRs: Dez, Golden Tate, Cordarrelle Patterson , Cody Latimer, Brian Quick, and his TE is Eric Ebron. What do you guys think? Am I paying too much? Or am I worrying over nothing? I tried a similar trade to get Julio Jones, but that owner rejected it without a counter because "Can't get rid of Julio, he's my best player." Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated. Edit: Oh and A. Seferian-Jenkins is on the waiver wire, so if I trade Kelce, I can go pick him up. Edit2: Just in case anyone was curious, the JJones owner's WRs are: Julio Jones, Terrance Williams and Michael Floyd. He also drafted Jordy minutes before the injury.

Oh for sure, I would be just fine with ranking Lacy the best running back, I just meant that very few actual official fantasy rankings out there will have him number one. It's a crap shoot. I think Le'Veon Bell would be #1 if it wasn't for the suspension but that's just my opinion. My point is Lacy could easily fall if people are just going off, let's say. the ESPN rankings.

It's a crap shoot. I think Le'Veon Bell would be #1 if it wasn't for the suspension but that's just my opinion. My point is Lacy could easily fall if people are just going off, let's say. the ESPN rankings. I did this thing just now: Jamaal Charles Strengths: -He is probably one of the best running backs of all time -He might be in the best team situation of all of the top 4 running backs, given the way the Packers' WR depth is imploding Weaknesses: -His coach is an idiot savant who might forget Charles exists for entire games at a stretch, then infuriate you by saying "oh yeah I guess I should give Jamaal the ball more next week" in press conferences.  -He's getting a bit on in years, and has some pretty bad injuries in his past. The guys behind him are good enough that "resting him for the playoffs" becomes an issue when he gets banged up a bit down the stretch. -Seriously Andy Reid will literally cost you weeks for no reason. 'ol Whipnuts Strengths: -He is half-Uruk-hai, half-human. -They just gave him a shitload of money so they will run him to death. Jerrick McKinnon will spend the season in Siberia unless Peterson gets run over by a car. -Even if he does get hit by a car, he's Wolverine so he'll be fine. Weaknesses: -He's a loving idiot manbaby, so the chances of him wrapping his slave yacht around an orphanage or some poo poo is like ~10% -Didn't play football last year. Some say that means less wear and tear, I say it means he's probably rusty and out of shape, since he is (as mentioned) an idiot manbaby. -He's 30. Very few RBs do dick squat at that age. So basically you are banking on Point #3 above being true and him being a genetic abnormality. -This is possibly the worst of the four teams in question. It's still miles better than what he's used to, mind you, but if you asked me if I wanted an RB on the Chiefs or Packers, or an RB on the Vikings... Le'Veon Bell Strengths: -The depth chart behind him is ugly. DeAngelo Williams is an old pile of garbage. -He's also really loving good. -If they give Bryant the job over Wheaton (which will probably happen by midseason), this team will produce points like crazy. -He's young! That's massively important for RBs. Weaknesses: -He's suspended to start the season for two weeks. That's a lot of points (12.5% of your season) to leave on the table. -Losing Pouncey suuuuuuuucks. -They are also without their second best (honestly by next year we might be calling him first-best) WR with Bryant suspended for four games. Wheaton ain't as good, which means the offense gets downgraded across the board. Eddie Lacy Strengths: -Young! -Very good! -Fantastic offense! -On top of the depth chart for sure. Weaknesses: -Offense not nearly as fantastic with Jordy Nelson out. Bit of a downgrade from "definitely best" to merely "possibly best, possibly tied with another ascending team", so... not so bad. -Bit of a concussion risk. Thankfully (ugh I hate say this) the NFL doesn't treat concussions nearly as seriously as they should, so they rarely turn into a multi-week absence until full blown Jahvid Best Puddingbrain Syndrome erupts. -He's fat.

The Giants depth chart has James Jones listed as Cruz's primary backup and Randle and OBJ's backup, plus Randle is an idiot who doesn't know how to run a route. Anyone have any reports on how Jones has done through camp and if he's going to make the 53? Because I'd bank on him being fantasy relevant well before Randle.
