With regard to Bradford, if I had to pick the most likely result from a range of options, I'd say he's more likely to be QB1 this week than to have an actually bad week. Atlanta is a high powered offense with a tire fire defense, so it was going to be a shootout anyways, but it's also the case that Chip has had months to gameplan this match.

I wonder where bradford spontaneously combusting fits into his game plan.

Anybody got an opinion on this besides me? I own Brown so I'm pretty biased, but the only guys I'd trade him for are Bell and *maybe* AP. That's full PPR. In half maybe I'd throw Charles in there?

I had second pick in the my full PPR and would not have gotten Brown if the 1st pick didn't show up like 2 minutes late and autodraft ADP. Look at any Beer sheet for a full PPR league, I just go by value, and he is in a tier of his own. I mean if you are hurting for backs maybe it is a different story, Brown for a RB and WR, or something along those lines. Nobody is getting Brown from me unless they make me a Godfather offer.

I drafted AB 1st and 3rd overall in both my full PPR league. He's just a monster in any PPR league and probably the most consistent week to week. Also because i always go WR heavy in any PPR league no matter what and i have yet to miss the playoffs so ain't fixin' what ain't broke.

Only person i might consider trading him for is Bell and even then i'd have to at least get back a startable WR also.

I missed out on Golden Taint due to waivers order :argh: but the same team that dropped Tate just dropped Cobb. Brandon Marshall is also on waivers.

Cobb is obviously a better pickup than Mike Wallace by a huge degree, but I'm pretty sure I'll miss that claim as well. Is Marshall better than Wallace given the horrific QB situation in Jetsland?

I think so, but I'm also fairly high on Wallace, so I don't exactly think he's a poor consolation prize.

Your father is...highly questionable, although I am sure he virtuous.

Your question has too many IFs for me to really get a good feel on. Wallace lives and dies by the accurately thrown deep ball. Does Bridgewater inspire that kind of confidence with you? I think Marshall is the safer bet for production.

Yea that's my thinking. I'm gonna toss my hat in the ring for Marshall. I'm not super high on Teddy Bridgewater. Marshall would be a backup to Megatron and Dez on my team anyway :unsmigghh:

I have more faith in 2015 Bridgewater's deep ball (if he gets protection, who knows with Sullivan out now and a rookie at RT) than I do in 2012-14 Tannehill's, but I know that's not exactly the highest bar to set.

He's 68 years old and a lifelong Broncos fan.

QB: Russell Wilson

RB: Ronnie Hillman (this was who he dropped Cobb for :sigh: )
RB/WR: Terrance Williams
WR: Vincent Jackson
WR: Eric Decker (why dad???)
TE: Owen Daniels

DL: Rob Ninkovich
D/ST: Vikings D/ST
K: Stephen Gostkowski

BE: Le'Veon Bell
BE: Joe Flacco
BE: Coby Fleener (???)

Overall he's definitely turned himself into a lower-middle tier team with dropping Tate and Cobb but I think Gore/Hillman/Daniels/Le'Veon still give him a decent shot at a not-last season.

I have two idiots in the league I run who accidentally cut players, and while general idiocy is pretty much fair game, sometimes accidents really do happen and you fat finger a button. I'm willing to give these guys the benefit of the doubt and put the players back on their rosters once, but yahoo isn't letting me. Edit Rosters under commissioner's tools is grayed out and it says Restricted ($).

Any clue what, why, how?

EDIT: figured it out. cash league rule.

I didn't realize he put up a 74/962/5 line.

With Geno throwing him the ball I assumed it was a lot lower then that.

+ Fitzpatrick is a huge upgrade on Geno
- Brandon Marshall is the new WR1

Overall I don't think Decker will repeat those numbers, but he could come close. Certainly isn't worthless, but I think he's shaky as anything more than an occasional flex.

I think the Jets are going to have a sneaky good team this year. They're probably not going to be good enough to be better than 8-8, but I could see them having a few fantasy relevant players. I think Fitzpatrick will be a high-end matchup-based QB2, Ivory will be a solid RB2, with some RB1 match-ups, and both Marshall and Decker will probably range out from mid-to-low WR2 to high-end WR4, depending on match-ups with their respective range of outcomes favoring Marshall. Their defense will also be solid against all but the most high octane offenses (sit vs. NE both times, etc)
