OH SNAP!
It is decided, I'm starting Bradford over Wilson. I've been going back and forth all week, but since my league is 6PPTD I think Bradford will put up more points. At least if he falls apart I won't be alone, everyone else in here starting him can share my pain!

Now to decide who to put in the flex, cooks or j stewart....

For real Chandler and Gronkowski's double slant on the weakside is going to be a play Bill's going to all year on the goal line. Chandler might be a legit TD vulture.

Why draft Wilson in the first place then? If you're not going to start him every game you should have taken a RB or WR instead.

Because I hosed up and didn't realize the league was 6PPTD. It was just a bad pick honestly. I'm still fairly new to FF.

I wish I could trust Joe Randle enough to start him in the flex, especially since my opponent this week is starting McFadden as his only RB.

Somehow I just have more faith in Stevie Johnson staying in the game and making plays than this drat shell game Dallas is playing with its RBs.

If you play in a league where D/ST scoring is favored to sacks and FUM/INT, I would consider Tennessee as a hail-mary play. They might give up 24+ points, but there's a non-zero chance that they can pick up 1-3 INTs and a few sacks.


LeBeau is going to blitz the poo poo out of them.

How are everyone else's defenses against rookie QBs?

Maybe its the case that rookie QBs good enough to be starting games are pretty good, and defenses lack tape on their performance in the NFL to help them set up defenses correctly?

Or maybe dick labeau is uniquely bad against rookie QBs.

I really wish everytime someone mentions that kind of split, they also mention what it is for the league as a whole. I mean, it sounds good, but it could be totally average.

The other thing I've been hearing this week is that Andy Dalton does ~so much better~ against teams he's familiar with. Yeah, doesn't everyone? I want to know if he does better than we would otherwise expect him to.

Ya'll weak. 12 team, 0.5 PPR, decent IDP scoring. Projected points are shown so you can enjoy my RB1-like JJ Watt (he was 20th overall in PPG last year :stare:). I traded away all my 2015 and 2016 draft picks when rookie fever was at its height (got Hopkins for 1.04 essentially, when I was willing to give Hill, lol) and got a lot of value trading away Brees, Cobb, Maclin, and Branden Oliver last winter :)



Edit: I'm going to lose in the playoffs to one of the other two or three stacked teams, though. One has Peyton, Lynch, AP, Calvin, and Julio Jones, another has Rodgers, Ingram, Melvin Gordon, AJ Green, Cooks, Landry, and Davante Adams. There are just a few teams that are almost entirely devoid of talent due to bad drafting followed by bad trading.

This is your yearly reminder to:

1) Never drink and deal
2) Never over-value your own players (the Foster owner said no, despite having Reuben Randle as his WR1)

I might actually send the Foster owner a fruit basket for saving me from myself.

How confident are people in Abdullah week one? Sounds like they are going to feature him in the offense but it's hard to trust a rookie who's about to get his first real taste of the NFL.

I'm confident starting him over Joique (I have both in one league), but I aso have flex options like D. Jackson and Coleman.

Fantasy football is hard.

He should see a decent amount, but it's always tough to tell how much coaches actually trust rookies and how much they're just playing up to the media/trying to build he kid's confidence. Most rankings/experts have him as a pretty solid flex play and I'd feel fairly confident playing him if I didn't have a clearly superior option.

So in other words enjoy watching as he inexplicably gets like 4 carries and catches 2 passes for 10 total yards tomorrow.
