I hope you own Tyler Lockett, y'all. @bcondotta: Darrell Bevell says rookie WR Tyler Lockett "light years'' ahead of where they thought he might be as a receiver.

I'm not sure why I figured I could expect CJ Spiller to be healthy. Anyway, need to play one of my bench WRs in the Flex. Kendall Wright @ TB Anquan Boldin v. MIN I am leaning towards Wright - feel like he's a lower floor but higher ceiling, whereas Boldin has the higher floor but lower ceiling. Am I reading both situations correctly?

12-team .5 PPR 3WR/2RB/FLEX Give: Vincent Jackson Get: Alfred Morris I know that Morris is more of a lower-end RB2 in PPR, but look at my roster now: QB: Brady, Rivers WR: Cooks, Matthews, Stevie Johnson, Agholor, James Jones RB: Peterson, Morris, Yeldon, David Johnson, Zenner, Michael TE: Fleener That's a no-brainer if I've ever seen one unless I'm totally missing something? Now if I can package Rivers with one of my non-Peterson RBs for an upgrade, I think I'm in business.

I went boom or bust with my TE picks this year, 12 team league, typical PPR settings. Picked Brent Celek late betting he'll start over an injured Ertz, and picked Virgil Green super-late hoping he'll overtake Owen Daniels as Denver's #1 TE. Kyle Rudolph has just hit the waiver wire and I'm unfamiliar with Minnesota's offense, should I pick him up over either of those other two? He's listed as the Viking's #1 TE but they don't seem to use him as a receiver too often? I've also got Dion Lewis on my bench, who I think will do work for NE this year.

If Jones were on the wire, I'd drop probably entertain dropping Michael for him, but I'm not going to trade for him. I'd rather handcuff myself to Michael's potential situation than Jones' in a Morris-less offense, all things being equal. Handcuffs are dumb anyway and I only have the RB lotto tickets I have because the bench is so big and my lineup is so top-heavy. Ideally, I would've had 4th and 8th round picks (traded then away last year) and I'd have an Ivory/Spiller instead of one of them and Yeldon, and Allen Robinson instead of VJax. I'm not too concerned about not owning Jones.

Phoneposting but how have Russel's top targets performed since he was drafted? I get the sense that their passing game is just not high volume enough to be very fantasy relevant. Lockett has been awesome to watch on returns though. Should be good for SEA in actual football.

Coleman vs. Lockett seems close to even (Saints pass way more, but Seattle's depth chart is much easier to climb), so just go with the scenario you prefer. Personally I'm in a league with 1 pt / 25 return yards, and also a Seattle fan, so it's a no brainer. Also frankly Lockett impressed me (and everyone else) the most of any offensive rookie, so I want a piece of that flash.

Hmmmmm. PPR, who do I put on the bench so I can play Jeremy Maclin for this week? Andre Johnson @ BUF Jarvis Landry @ WAS Frank Gore @ BUF Mark Ingram @ ARI Chris Ivory vs CLE Brandin Cooks @ ARI Kendall Wright @TB Also, 6 pts per passing TD, trying to decide on playing Flacco @ DEN or Eli @ DAL

He's a far better "lotto ticket" than Michael, because the odds of him paying out are far higher.

Russell had 452 pass attempts last season, behind noted funslingers like Alex Smith, Andy Dalton and Colin Kaepernick. It's not that he's not a stellar passer, the offense isn't geared around his arm. It's geared towards the guy lined up 5 yards behind him in Lynch, and potentially Graham now that he's in the mix. I wouldn't be looking the way of any Seahawk WRs in this setup, good or not. Volume wins championships. Now excuse me while I cry into my pillow as I move Randle into my RB1 slot.

It's not that he's not a stellar passer, the offense isn't geared around his arm. If you took all of the passes Russell threw to fullbacks, bad tight ends, surprised offensive linemen, and garbage WRs last year, you'd have enough business to sustain a decent WR3 with WR2 upside (depending on how his YAC ability pans out). Not to mention the very well established fact that elite NFL receivers create targets, by being better at separation and route running than JAGs like the past Seahawks receiver corps.

He's a far better "lotto ticket" than Michael, because the odds of him paying out are far higher. My reasoning is that unless they go full Bell/Bush from a few years ago, or Morris gets hurt and Jones takes over, I'm never going to flex him over any of my top-4 WRs. Whereas, improbable as it may seem, if Michael ever got a hold of 40+% of the carries in Dallas, he's got the talent and the offense where he could be a (barely cracking the) top-20 RB and worthy flex starter. Jones scoring points on my bench does nothing for me. If he were on the wire, I'd consider it, but it's doubtful I could get his owner to do a straight 1:1 swap (and in that case, I'm probably trading Johnson instead of Michael) and it's not worth shuffling up my pieces to get a handcuff.

Tiptoes posted:They match up well in my eyes and there's legit sleeper appeal there. You have to go back to 2009 to find a SEA WR non-WR1 that has more than 72 targets on the season. So either this 182 pound rookie dude who's also returning punts and kicks is gonna leapfrog the depth chart to WR1, or SEA will change their offensive philosophy to manufacture touches for him? Or they'll just stick with pretty much the exact same offense that got them to the last two SBs, plus all-world Graham on 3rd downs and RZ. Seriously you can find similar hype about Tate in August 2013 on rotoworld and he was a non rookie WR1 on the Hawks who has proven skill since then, and he only managed WR28 in standard. See also Harvin, Kearse, whoever. That Mathews guy that every dynasty league was drooling over after the SB this year. Lock's a sleeper for 14 team non-ppr leagues that let you start 4 WRs and also credit return yardage, or best ball leagues with deep rosters. This thread also wanted people to drop like Alfred Blue for Reggie Wayne so whatever, can't wait for preseason to end!

Kind of new to this fantasy "football" thing, but yeah... in week 1 I can either go with Deangelo Williams or Tevin Coleman for my RB2? Someone give me a solid SWOT analysis here. I own Bell in the long term, so Williams is just of "there" till Bell's suspension ends.

Is David Cobb worth stashing in dynasty? He just got dropped, and I would be dropping Dion Lewis or one of Jeff Janis/Ty Montgomery to grab him. The crowded, lovely Titans backfield scares and confuses me. 24 man rosters, .5 ppr.
