I'm in a 2 keeper league. You can keep 1 or 2 if you want, and you just skip the first or second round of the draft. But this year, everybody had a round 2 pick? Their keepers counted for round 1 and round 3. Is this shady, or just something I'm unfamiliar with?

Forever_Peace posted:You'd have to be crazy not to take Gronk over Miller in any league with a TE spot, even in standard. You don't even need to understand positional scarcity - there's a pretty good chance Gronk outscores Miller outright. What on earth are you thinking? I did not say Miller should go before Gronk at all. I'm looking at where he is picking and saying Lamar Miller could be available in the 3rd if you don't want to go RB in the second. That was all.

GUISSEPPE PIZZAPIE posted:Bills have an elite defense and the Colts have a horrible one. Matchups aren't going to salvage the Colts. Meanwhile, the Bills will give you a solid contributor for the majority of the season. Playing the matchups each week will be significantly better than sticking with the Bills or any single defense. Starting defenses when they play the Colts, Packers, Pats, or other elite offense is just asking for poor DST scoring. Even if you don't go full on streaming, you really don't want to start with a team that will play Colts, Pats, and Dolphins to start the year. In any case, look at how any DST vs. Jags did last year. The quality of the offense facing your DST matters more than the quality of the DST. Last year the Colts scored 13, 13, and 6 against the Jags, Redskins, and Jags. The Bills scored 4, 9, 3, and 2 against NE, GB, Denver, and NE. Tampa Bay week 1 against the Titans this year is a highly recommended pick up. Streaming defenses in favorable matchups is just better than sticking with an elite DST regardless of matchup  E: Last year, top 5 DSTs averaged 10.6, 9.5, 9.4, 9.2, and 8.5 points per game. Meanwhile, the best offenses to fade gave up 13.3, 11.2, 11.1, 10.1, and 9.8 points per game to opposing DSTs. Streaming FTW. sourdough fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Sep 6, 2015 |

Even a dogshit QB is basically a WR1 in non-PPR leagues, right? More of a WR2/Flex, but yeah. Some people tried that with Joe Webb in week 16 of 2010 when Favre was injured since he had dual eligibility. He scored 0 TDS passing or rushing but still had 11 points.

If you're in a 12 team league with a 6 man bench, then the waiver will not be shallow on WR after we see the early season breakouts. I'd mash accept, because you get two huuuuuuuuuuge upgrades and your downgrades are Julio to Cooks and Cooks to VJax. Remember, WR is the easiest position to find on waivers. You could also think of it in terms of ADP... You're giving up a second and fifth rounder for an early first rounder and another fifth rounder. Do it now!

Who do I select for my keeper? It's an auction draft where we have $500. We can keep one player at the value that they were drafted last year (if the player was never on waivers), or get them at 85% of their average ESPN price. 0.5 ppr. 12 teams. Peterson, Bell, T.Y Hilton, Rodgers, Luck, Gronkowski, Lynch, and Charles are the players that have been selected for keepers so far. (three other teams still to pick). code:

So my draft is tonight (we're down to eight teams, .5PPR- bah!) and I have the #1. I'm thinking of doing the unthinkable and taking Rodgers #1 overall, but have reservations because: 1. I never take a QB in the first round, but Rodgers has consistently finished #1 in points in my leagues the past few years 2. I am a Bears fan and I loving despise Aaron Rodgers and his dumb cheese gobbling rear end in a top hat team Is this insane? Should I just take the stud RB because in an eight team league there will be plenty of fine QBs hovering around in later rounds?

Yeah that's the way to think about it, with the caveat that it's probably safer bet that Rodgers will be a stud QB than to bet that any specific RB will turn out to be a stud RB. But still you should take your shot.

Being in an 8 man league myself, I'd say DEFINITELY wait. I took Russell Wilson in the .. 5th I wanna say? And regret it massively. Rodgers is good but he's not that good. Just go WR/WR or WR/RB or something, there will most likely be a bunch of decent QB's left at the end of the draft.

Okay, so I'm trying to arrange a trade with a needy team in a 1 PPR league. I have: RB: Andre Ellington, Ameer Abdullah, Jonathan Stewart, Isaiah Crowell, Knile Davis, David Johnson, Ronnie Hillman WR: Dez Bryant, Demaryius Thomas, Anquan Boldin, Allen Robinson, Stevie Johnson, DeVante Parker He has: RB: LeSean McCoy, Jeremy Hill, Rashad Jennings, Duke Johnson WR: Jarvis Landry, Brandon LaFell, Mohamed Sanu, Tavon Austin, Donte Moncrief, James Jones, Doug Baldwin Right now he's reeling from LaFell being out/Jones being cut/having a lovely WR corps in general. I'd like to send him a RB and a WR in exchange for Jeremy Hill in a deal that's relatively fair (though obviously I don't mind if it's lopsided in my favor). Shouldn't be too hard since just about anything will improve his team. Where should I start? Ellington + Boldin?

But there's nothing inherently implausible about making keepers cost a first and third.

Like if you have no keepers and had the first pick, the best option might be someone who normally goes in the late second round. That's rough. It seems like it helps rich get richer. How did this rule change happen?

.5 PPR Okay. I'm not going to accept this trade but he's offering Drew Brees and I need some help finding a fair counter offer because my QB situation is the pits. -- proposed trade his: Brees John Brown TJ Yeldon for my: Jordan Matthews Frank Gore -- HIS TEAM QB: Drew Brees WR: Antonio Brown WR: Demaryius Thomas WR: John Brown RB: Lamar Miller RB: Doug Martin TE: Martellus Bennett FLEX: TJ Yeldon BN: Ryan Mathewws BN: Sam Bradford BN: Joique Bell BN: Percy Harvin BN: Michael Crabtree BN: Joe Flacco MY TEAM: QB: Carson Palmer WR: Julio Jones WR: Jordan Matthews WR: Brandon Marshall RB: Matt Forte RB: Frank Gore TE: Larry Donnell FLEX: Melvin Gordon BN: CJ Spiller BN: Todd Gurley BN: Anquan Boldin BN: Giovani Bernard BN: Isaiah Crowell BN: Kendall Wright I'm thinking for now I just wait for one of my backup RBs to have a breakout game and then start thinking about trades but if anybody sees potential in there I'd like to hear it. I just feel like the trade as stands is trying to take advantage of my bad QB situation when clearly I ignored that position in favor of depth elsewhere on purpose.

Ok, I received a trade offer that is almost certainly dumb and bad but I'm considering it because I expect a huge year from Luck and Bradford could die at any time. It's full point PPR. I give: Calvin Johnson, Sam Bradford I receive: Andrew Luck, Steve Smith Is there any conceivable way Luck has a big enough year that I wouldn't immediately regret it? My other receivers are Dez Bryant, Davante Adams, Pierre Garçon, Terrance Williams and Markus Wheaton.

Ive been planning on starting Wilson, but my league is 6 point TD's, does that change anything or should I still start Wilson? Noob question! Also crosspost from the rate my team thread: I'm lacking depth at RB and I'm wondering if any of these guys on the wire would be a decent pickup, any suggestions? J. Bell Sproles Tevin Coleman Ryan Matthews Deangelo Williams Vereen Hillman Woodhead Currently I only have three RB's; Lacy, Hill and J Stewart. Also, which of these guys would you drop: Victor Cruz, Allen Robinson, Charles Johnson. I'm leaning Cruz but idk. Any help would be appreciated! Non PPR 6PTD.
