Even if you decide to own a Bellicheck RB, you have to take the big leap to try to get in old sleeveless' head about when he's going to go run heavy vs pass, what RB he's going to use, etc. What team was generally known to have a soft run defense last year? The Colts. When did Jonas Gray's big game come? Oh, against the Colts. When did Blount have his big game? You guessed it, against the Colts in the playoffs. Week 1, the Pats play the Steelers. Do you think Billy is going to go run heavy against a defense that made THE ENTIRE BILLS QB CORPS look like the second coming of John Elway? In a game that projects to be a shootout? I could be right, I could be wrong, but the point is, these are the types of mental games you'll have to play if you invest in the Pats backfield. Gio should get consistent work. Jonas Gray got benched and never recovered because he slept through practice once. Do yourself a favor. Don't go there. I strongly doubt he's going to startable Week 1, and I strongly doubt any of us will be able to guess if/when he goes off again.

TLDR Trade Blount for Gio and don't start Gray for Week 1.

Belichick will produce two top-25 RBs at the end of the season, the problem is that they're going to get all of their points in 4 separate games each and you'll never know when they're coming. Don't fall into the trap. At the end of every season you probably lose to a Blount or a Gray or a whatever and you look and they have ~100 points and you're like "drat, I didn't realize he was doing so well!!" He's not, you're being lied to. Run. Run away from Billy as far and as fast as possible.

I agree with you, but I don't see a problem with starting Gray week 1. Blount is out. Gray is getting touches no matter what.

Even I am staying away from the NE backfield this year while drafting. 0 redraft shares so far. I AM, however, carefully watching the usage of White, Lewis, and Cadet (if he makes the team) in ppr leagues for the first few games to see if one could be a Vereen type contributor from the WW.

I need some second opinions on this trade i received, since i haven't paid much attention to the Chargers. someone offered me Keenan Allen and Melvin Gordon for Lamar Miller and Nelson Aghalor. Now i'm leaning towards rejecting since i'd rather have Miller than an unproven rookie, and Aghalor seems to have locked up the WR2 spot, but Allen from little i've read has been having a great camp? Now i also have Andre Ellington snoozing on the bench for probably most of the season unless a trade/injury happens. Maybe try Ellington/Aghalor instead? 1 PPR WR/WR/WR/RB/RB and no flex, there's also 0.03 PP Kick Return Yard and 0.06 PP Punt Return Yard, which is why i have Lockett. WR Brandin Cooks WR Amari Cooper WR Nelson Aghalor RB Marshawn Lynch RB Lamar Miller BN Andre Ellington BN Tevin Coleman BN DeVante Parker BN Reggie Wayne BN Tyler Lockett BN Antonio Gates

Drafting my 16 man team tomorrow and its my first time in a league that big. Thinking of just going all out with a total upside/roll of the dice team. Go RB-RB-RB targeting guys like Lamar Miller and then get potentially great WRs like John Brown, Charles/Stevie Johnson, etc. Crazy? I figure I don't want a solid team, because a solid team misses the playoffs in a 16 man league. Better to swing for the fences?VietCampo posted:I need some second opinions on this trade i received, since i haven't paid much attention to the Chargers.

I moved to a 14 team league this year so I can relate in a sort of way. What I learned is load up on RBs. They are a precious commodity in leagues that big, and the waiver wire will be a barren wasteland after the draft. Look for a back half QB and TE. I played a balanced game and ended up with 7 WRs after my draft, most of which were upside guys like you mentioned.

Yea, that's how i feel about Miller, what would you think about me countering with Andre Ellington + Aghalor for Keenan Allen + Melvin Gordon?

That's an easy reject for me in a typical ppr league, but no RB flex changes the calculus somewhat. I'd still stand pat if I was you, but it's not an insulting offer by any means. My approach would be to wait until games start, I think. It's probable that Gordon is being slightly overvalued (he's a solid talent but the line sucks this year and he's a 2 down back at the moment so long as Woodhead is there), so you could potentially get a better deal by waiting.

With Fred Jackson going to the Seahawks as a likely RB2, how will he perform there behind Lynch? And based on my roster, should I pick him up and who should I drop? I am worried about my RB corps, which is why I ask. 0.5ppr, 10 team, 4 QBPaTD, 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1 FLEX QB: Tannehill / Bradford RB: Le'Veon Bell / Justin Forsett / Darren McFadden / Ameer Abdullah WR: Randall Cobb / Mike Evans / Deandre Hopkins / Anquan Boldin / Charles Johnson / Stevie Johnson Also, how are people on DMF at the beginning until Bell gets back in the game? Hopefully he will not get injured for 2 weeks and perform okay.

Heisenator posted:With Fred Jackson going to the Seahawks as a likely RB2, how will he perform there behind Lynch? I doubt FJax is even flexable with Lynch healthy. If Lynch is injured, he'll be a nice low end RB2, though. I wouldn't drop anyone that you have for him. Darren McFadden is on the Cowboys. DeAngelo Williams will be at least flexable those first two weeks with Bell out.

Heisenator posted:With Fred Jackson going to the Seahawks as a likely RB2, how will he perform there behind Lynch? I would imaging that Jackson will be used similar to Christine Michael. IE rarely and only fantasy relevant if Lynch gets injured. Edit: Speaking of which, it looks like Seattle might be looking to trade Christine Michael now that they have signed Fred Jackson. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/09/04/reports-seahawks-trying-to-trade-christine-michael-robert-turbin-to-be-waivedinjured/?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed Worth picking up for your K until this plays out. Hes been hyped as a solid back for a while now, he was just buried behind Lynch. Paint Crop Pro fucked around with this message at 17:51 on Sep 5, 2015 |
