The League of Posts, hosted right here in Armchair Quarterback, has THREE openings for 2016. The league is entering its second season. This league has a special feature! To stay in the league, you have to post in its thread once per calendar week during the league season. The post has to be relevant to the league or the NFL and not just dead space. If you miss a weekly post, your league spot is up for grabs! The goal is to create a low barrier-to-entry, deep league with a chatty culture that may last some number of years. ROSTER: QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, K, DEF, 1 RB/WR flex, 1 WR/TE flex, 1 IDP, 5 bench, 1 reserve. Deep league! SCORING: PPR, 5pt passing TD, 1pt/25 yd return yardage, otherwise pretty standard. Draft date is Saturday, Aug. 20. It's an auction draft. We also have a limited number of keepers (details in thread). Looking for a few good men to pick up the unclaimed teams! Last year, someone who claimed an abandoned team mid-season ended up winning the whole thing. Help us build something great! p.s. it's a chill, fun league.

Doltos posted:Because Fleener couldn't distinguish himself from a time share with Dwayne Allen even though he had a ton of rapport with Luck from their college days and capped out at 774 yards and 51 receptions for his career year so far. He isn't in a timeshare with Allen anymore and moved to the best situation for a tight end in the league. Do you think Fleener is worse than Watson? Watson's career best had been 68-763-3, set 5 years previously and a clear outlier in his career up to that point. Fleener managed 51-774-8 in 2014 with Dwayne Allen as the TE2 soaking up 29-395-8. I'm completely fine with you thinking Fleener won't justify his draft position, but I think giving him a ceiling of 75-700 is completely absurd.

A 35 year old Ben Watson also received 110 Targets last season, i'd be willing to bet that is at least Fleeners floor in targets.

Unrelated to that, 49ers/IDP fans, is Bethea toast? Would you be happy with him as your DB2 (in dynasty)? And of some popular sleepers at DB, any clear preference between Clayton Geathers, Jahleel Addae, and Ibraheim Campbell?

Question for you guys, I'm in a league this year where the commissioner is definitely of the "more points = more fun" mindset. The roster: 1 QB 2 RB 3 WR 1 TE 1 Super Flex (QB/RB/WR/TE) 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE) 1 DEF 1 K AND we're full PPR on top of that. Question is, in the first year of possible WR supremacy, on top of being PPR, do I go QB/QB in Rounds 1/2 given that there's a super flex which makes it basically a 2 QB league? I pick 7th in a field of 10.

And of some popular sleepers at DB, any clear preference between Clayton Geathers, Jahleel Addae, and Ibraheim Campbell? Bethea is fully healthy but they might be moving away from him. I wouldn't be comfortable with him as my DB2 without Jaquiski Tartt as a backup plan.

Different sites for different stuff. Rotoviz has a lot of the smartest data-focused guys these days. FBGs is a pretty great general site, with a nice variety of writers and content. DraftKings is totally not gambling. ESPN is, well ESPN.

Last year with the same guys I went QB/QB but I got Luck/Rodgers. Most of the guys aren't fantasy-obsessed but they're not morons and I don't think I'm gonna get away with another coup like that, so picking at #7, I'm thinking QB if I can get one of the top 4, but I don't think I'd take Brees.

I'm convinced that his upside is Gronk but he's also had six loving concussions in his career. Also I just discovered that website. Not sure I'll pay $5 for access to it, but it's pretty awesome.

That's what happens if you want to draft a TE because you are a silly person. Just get Fleener or Walker later or take Hill for free and stream and hopefully find this year's Barnidge/Reed/Walker/Watson Spoeank posted:He has a 3rd/4th round price tag which is what makes it rough for a dude who has chronic scrambled egg brain Also don't pay for last year's production you clods

Has anyone heard of or tried http://www.fantasychampionship.com/fantasy-championship ? I saw it on MFL and it seems interesting. $250 per person 12 team 1 PPR, 4 point passing TD, 1QB 2RB 2WR 1TE 2FLEX 1DST 1K 1st place per league gets $1000, 2nd gets $500 and the rest of the money goes into the prize pool, where top 50 ranked teams get extra money, up to $200k for 1st. As someone who had all 3 of his leagues fold this year, I've been looking for a $200 or so "serious" league and this looks perfect, I'm just not sure how legit it would be. Edit: It is a part of RealTime Fantasy Sports, which I have also never heard of. Prophecy120 fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Aug 8, 2016 |

What's funny here is that of the two, Niles Paul is definitely the better candidate to break in two. I can't believe I saw a mention of that guy in a fantasy thread.

With Luck back. How are you guys liking Moncrief as a potential 3rd yearbreakout candidate? I like him much more than guys going higher like Maclin. Wasnt Moncrief supposed to be like a go route guy coming out? I was watching some Colts games and hes definitely running more than one route and hes good after the catch.

Ive liked Moncrief since he was rookie. He looked great in college. I was watching an old LSU vs Ole Miss game and he was tearing up Eric Reid or drawing PIs.

Green Gloves posted:With Luck back. How are you guys liking Moncrief as a potential 3rd yearbreakout candidate? His splits when Luck played were telling:  That 11 TD pace in his sophomore year looks pretty nice. The yardage total is hurt by Luck's crappy year but the Colts offense as a whole threw for more than a 1000 yards less than in 2014 (5026 in 2014, 3928 in 2015) so there's plenty of room for his yardage to grow just by the Luck/Colts offense returning to their usual numbers. I absolutely love him this year and am targeting him in every draft.

Pretty sure Maclin is getting drafted at least one round higher than Moncrief. Is last years numbers for Maclin his ceiling with Smith at qb? Maclin is safer but I feel like if I am picking in the middle rounds I dont want just safe and boring imo. Green Gloves fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Aug 8, 2016 |

I think it's fair to say that Maclin's ceiling is not his first season on a new team, new offense, and new QB. I really can't see Moncrief's ceiling as the #2 option being much, if any higher than Maclin's as the #1 option. But yes there is a difference in ADP of about a round right which makes it closer. I don't think you can call this a mid-round pick, the 3rd-4th is still pretty early. I like solid starters at that ADP personally, ill go riskier in the 6th+.
