I actually love Golden Tate in PPR as a WR2, as I think he's going to shift over to the first look AND quasi dumpoff this year, for much of the year.

What's the best site to pay for fantasy advice? I'd like to be able to enter my scoring system for rankings as it isn't Yahoo standard.

Anyone got some advice for my bottom of the barrel TE scrapings? Picked up D Allen at the end of my work draft but for some reason everyone else drafted like 2-3 TE's, so my options are grim. Should I swap Allen for a maybe not totally useless week 1 Richard Rodgers given that BUF was stingiest with TE last year while CHI was the opposite? To make it more fun I'm starting Luck and my opponent is starting A-Rod

Yeah I love him as my flex, tate may not get the RZ looks but he was absolutely solid as Stafford's dump last year even with Johnson on the field.

I joined a league with some weird roster/scoring settings and need some advice on how this should affect my draft. Below are the roster settings. Notable differences are 2QBs and Defensive Players.  Below are the scoring settings. Note reduced points for offensive TD's.  I **think** this makes linebackers who get a lot of tackles the most valuable? I have first overall and have no idea who to pick because i can't tell what this scoring would put people at in terms of rankings last year.

Thomas, who had similar position last year, was one option of 4 or so, Olsen is almost the only option and basically a WR. Yeah, definitely not going to argue that point. my reasoning is more of the fact that you need at least 2 WR, 2 RB, and another of either to fill a roster, and I'd rather resign those "high risk/reward" guys to the bench than my starting lineup. In any league bigger than 10 teams, you're going to have a questionable RB2/WR3/FLEX if you spend a top 60 pick on a TE, no matter how good he is. The gap between TE3 and TE15 is going to be like 60 points, at the end of the day, that's negligible if it lets you start Chris Ivory over Devonta Freeman. People drafting TEs that high are basically banking on all of their risk picks hitting, which statistically improbable. Papes posted:You're pretty much banking on megaton getting hurt for Tate to return value. Which, looking at the last few seasons isn't exactly a sucker bet. But I think that Tate has the highest floor of any of those "well but he needs X/Y/Z to return value" guys. I'm really high on Tate even if Johnson doesn't get hurt. He's going to be a top-30 WR, easily, and has a shot at top-20 even if Johnson plays 16 games, and top-15 if he doesn't. Teemu Pokemon fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Sep 9, 2015 |

Whatever Tate loses in volume he'll more than make up for by taking random slant routes 60 yards to the house. He's the platonic ideal of a WR2.

0 PPR ESPN Standard 12-team: QB: Russell wilson RB: Jamaal Charles, Lamar Miller, Arian Foster/Alfred Blue WR: Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, Charles Johnson, James Jones, B. Perriman TE: Delanie Walker I was offered (AP + Victor Cruz) for (Lamar Miller + Megatron). My gut says reject that but would love a second opinion?

I'd reject. I consider Cruz as someone I wouldn't draft. Lamar miller is a top 20 RB IMO. Obviously having AP and Charles is titillating, but it's not really a good deal for you.

You just need one more WR than you would normally take to fill the W/T slot. I would assume, as long as no ppr, then just draft best available of RB/WR like usual.

You'll need to get really lucky to get a usable RB off waviers in a 16 team league. you're much better off having RB drafted and then scraping waivers for WRs

Quick question doing an 12 team auction draft tonight that has lineup settings of QB RB RB WR WR TE W/R/T Flex W/R/T Flex What does that extra flex position do to budgeting/player values does it more evenly distribute them where studs are worth slightly less because that money needs to go to the extra flex or does it not really screw with the values that much. I figure it makes QB/TE less valuable since it shifts some scarcity onto playable Wrs and Rbs but other than that I am not sure. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Swarmin Swedes posted:Quick question doing an 12 team auction draft tonight that has lineup settings of Yah it just makes drafting another startable WR/RB more important, pushing QB's down a little bit. Also, I would probably not roster an extra QB/TE (TE you would have to get insane value).

Since offensive TD's are worth half of what they are normally, and due to needing to field 2 Defensive Linemen, is JJ Watt a consensus #1 overall? His positional advantage is so far ahead of every other position it seems like it would be worth it? Also, with needing to field 2 QB's, but with reduced scoring, I am not sure where that puts them in terms of priority. MrSargent fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Sep 9, 2015 |
