Counterpoint, he had like 70/700/6 last year with the Oakland goddamn Raiders and the last time he was on the Packers, he was a solid 60/700 #3/4 receiver every year. In 2012, when Jordy was hurt for 1/3 of the year and he got primarily used as a #2/3, he led the league in TDs with 14. I'm not saying he's going to give more than low-end WR3 numbers, but I would definitely roster him over Montgomery/Janis until proven otherwise.

gently caress, Jonas Gray got cut. My week one RB situation is hosed. Should I hang on to him to see if he signs with someone else? Right now there are really no good free agents RBs in my league. I'm looking at David Johnson or Roy Helu... Edit: Is James White worth a closer look during Blount's suspension? Gandalf21 posted:Should I drop Ty Montgomery for James Jones with his signing, or stand pat? I made the switch quickly as soon as I heard the news, but I'm wishing I would have thought it over a bit more, but he was pretty good in GB. Regardless, they were just going to occupy a bench spot anyway for me. GAYS FOR DAYS fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Sep 7, 2015 |

One of my leagues drafted the first week of August and has barred free agency until tonight. Of course there's now an overwhelming number of options available on waivers. How much of your FAAB would you spend on these jokers? Budget is $1000 Zach Zenner Christine Michael Matt Jones Brandon Coleman Devin Funchess Ty Montgomery Dion Lewis I have two roster spots available and I'm having a bit of trouble prioritizing. RBs: Forte, L. Murray, CJ Spiller, D. McFadden WRs: Julio, Cooks, C. Johnson, E. Royal, J. Brown

Matt Jones is very likely to at least get passing down work, with a chance for more. Neither Zenner nor Michael is likely to be startable this year. Dion Lewis shouldn't even be in consideration, haha. For the WRs, I would definitely take either Coleman or Funchess ahead of Montgomery. Funchess is a great bet for tons of targets, while Coleman is much less sure but might soak up a lot of the red zone targets Graham left behind (unless you really think Benjamin Watson is going to be the primary rz target). I'd probably go for Funchess, as I'm just not confident Coleman will get enough volume to be more than bye week filler once Cooks, Colston, and Spiller get their share. You need some help at both RB and WR, so I'd bid on Jones and Funchess. No idea how much is reasonable, though. No one drafted them, so they shouldn't need too big a bid to be yours, yeah? Whether that means $1 or $10 or $30 or what, I have no idea.

I'm not going to pretend I'm some genius savant because unless someone works in their training room, we never truly know, but I am sure glad I dropped LaFell last week. It just didn't sit right with me that I saw zero out of him in the preseason and that we were dealing with a foot injury with zero actionable updates.

HalfPPR, 12 teams, 2xRB, 2xWR, 1xRB/WR flex. Standard everything else. Right now my bench is: WR: Brandon Marshall, Anquan Boldin, Stevie Johnson, Devin Funchess. RB: Arian Foster, Devonta Freeman, and Bishop Sankey. I need to drop one of these guys to grab a kicker for Week 1. With preseason games and cuts done, I feel like no new information will be coming about any of these players and their situations until kickoff. WR Devante Adams is my flex right now, so just looking at my team in a vacuum I'd say WR is less of a need than RB. And I'm definitely keeping Arian Foster and Brandon Marshall. So who the hell do I throw out on the waiver wire? I need to see Sankey and Freeman do nothing in Week 1 before I drop either/both of them, and I actually think Anquan Boldin will be a viable player all season long in a half/ppr format. tl;dr So, the question is this: Who is the less attractive lottery ticket: Stevie Johnson or Devin Funchess? Ugh. Fretting over RB4/5 and WR6, football is coming!

No one drafted them because the draft was a couple weeks ago before Kelvin was injured or other roster moves. Funchess in particular will probably have a bid submitted by every owner in the league. A couple might bid on Jones. So it's a little tough to balance competitive bids vs bidding on backup options if someone (very likely) overpays.

Is Minnesota's defence being underrated for a week 1 play? They play a very depleted 49ers squad, who lost their coaching staff from last year as well as many key defensive and offensive players, and their mistake-prone QB has failed to improve much since he took over the starting job. The Vikings have AP back, drafted some stud defensive players, and have an improving secondary. I can easily see Kaepernick throwing more INTs than TDs against the Vikings. I'd play the Vikings D over Indy week 1, which is a DST that has gotten a lot of hype recently, despite not being a very good real life football defence.

I'm pretty sure they were a top-15 D the second half of the season. They have a complete starting LB corp for the first time in, probably ever? They have playmakers at every level, and an offense that could potentially keep them off the field for decent stretches. I also wouldn't bet against Zimmer, he inherited a few pretty shoddy defenses in his time and turned them around on a similar trajectory as the Vikings. I would absolutely consider them a better play and IND. Streaming against a bad offense is always a viable strategy, but a bad defense will always be a bad defense. Streaming a bad D against a bad offense is just as likely to throw a dud. Everyone scores points eventually. Don't stream bad defenses.

Streaming a bad D against a bad offense is just as likely to throw a dud. Everyone scores points eventually. Don't stream bad defenses. Vikings over Indy the first week is fine, but Indy is a much better multi-week play to start the year. And I don't know why everyone thinks bad real life defenses can't score well in fantasy. According to fftoday using ESPN scoring, last year the Colts put up 16 and 8 against Jax, 9 and 6 against Tennessee, and 14 against Washington, which were their only obvious streaming weeks. On average last year, Jax gave up 9.7, Tennessee gave up 7.6, and Washington gave up 9.8, so even a bad Indy defense can take advantage of awful offenses as well as the rest of the league. Dallas is an awful real life defense, yet were 8th best overall last year in DST scoring. Philly gives up a million yards and points, but they destroyed as a DST last year. Falcons had monster games against TB (25 and 10) and a passable game against Cleveland (7), which again were the only games you'd consider streaming them for. The Bears put up 13 against TB and 15 against NYJ. On the flip side, the Seahawks, Chiefs, and Jets all have great real life defenses, and finished 22nd, 25th, and 30th in DST scoring. If you think bad defenses are not viable to stream against bad offenses, you're just wrong  Obviously a good defense against a bad offense is best, but 10/10 times you should take a bad defense against a bad offense rather than a good defense against a good offense. Never play a DST against GB or Denver or NE. You should easily prefer Tampa Bay against Tennessee than Buffalo against New England in week 1.

What I'm seeing from that is that aside from one decent week, the Colts either barely beat, or failed to beat, the average score against a bad offense. e: Philly was a great D/ST last year because of (a probably unsustainable amount of) turnovers and excellent special teams, and I'm pretty sure they weren't all that great come playoff time but I could be remembering that wrong.

If that's what you took away from it, then I don't think I can say anything to convince you, haha. You said a bad defense will always be a bad defense, so you shouldn't stream bad defenses. I pointed out that consensus bad defenses did well against bad offenses, and that consensus good defenses did poorly as DSTs. Seattle averaged 6.2 points per week, or roughly 3.5 points less per week than if you streamed literally any DST that played Was, Jax, or St. Louis last year (they each gave up ~9.7 per week). Against Washington, what teams scored double digit points against? Giants (bad D), Cardinals (good D), TB (bad D), Colts (bad D), Rams (mediocre D), and Cowboys (bad D). Seahawks scored 1 point  Everyone beat up on Jax, so it isn't as clear as against Was, but Eagles, Redskins, Colts, Steelers, Titans, Dolphins, Cowboys, and Ravens put up double digits; you don't have to be a good defense to score a ton against a good offense. And to be fair and for completeness, St. Louis actually were not consistently awful (i.e., good to stream against), but they gave up big games: Vikings, Cowboys, Eagles, Niners, Chiefs, Cardinals, Chargers, and Seahawks all had double digits against them, and five of those were 15 or more points. However, the Seahawks also put up a donut against them, and Cardinals only took 6 points off them later in the year. St. Louis also didn't get to play against nearly as many bad defenses as the other two also, fwiw.You're right about Philly. I don't expect them to repeat this year, but they were a bad NFL defense that was the best fantasy defense. That's the only reason I mentioned them. sourdough fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Sep 7, 2015 |

I think re: Seattle, the thing to glean there is that you should never waste a pick outside of the last two rounds on a defense. As far as Washington goes, they were a special kind of bad last year, and even then, divisional games throw all convention out of the window, so I'm going to say that the Giants may be an outlier. As far as the Colts and Cowboys go, the game scripts could've predicted those. You know that Luck/Romo would have them up early forcing one of the most disfucntional passing offenses and questionable O-Lines to have to air it out for 45 minutes. I don't think correlation equals causation there, either. If you look at what made Philly a good defense last year: an offense that can sustain drives, an NFL-high 36 turnovers, and a great return game. If you look at the Vikings this year, with their (better than Philly) pass rush, revamped 2nd level, and Patterson/Sherels/Diggs return game; they actually share a lot of characteristics with last-year's Philly team, with the added benefit of actually being good at stopping other teams (14th in Y/G, compared to 28th for PHI; 7th in passing defense; 5th in sacks; 4th in INT) they could very easily be this year's surprise #1 fantasy D save for maybe three games: vs. GB, on the road in CHI (though I remain unconvinced about CHI's prospects against this new MIN D), and on the road vs. DET. They also get ARI on a Thursday game (Palmer is going to get sacked 4+ times) and the Bears at home for the first two weeks of the playoffs (could be a non-start again the Giants in championship week, but they could give up 28 points and still come out on top if Eli is funsligning and they can grab a few INT). If they play up to potential, DEN week 4 and GB week 11 are the only absolute benchable games. You can make an argument for KC in week 6 if their run D isn't strong again, but I don't see Smith having too much success against them and the Vikings will be coming off of a bye. Same goes for @ ATL on week 12, but looking at ATL's schedule, that might be the toughest defense they face all season. Teemu Pokemon fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Sep 7, 2015 |
