I'm not doggin' Jamaal Charles. I think he's gonna be top 3 easy. He's the most dominant RB in modern day NFL history and has check down machine Alex Smith throwing to him. Also, ACL recovery isn't as big of a deal these days with the advances in technology and medicine. Used to be the career killer, but now you get guys like AP2K the year after. I am definitely torn. Do I want the pretty girl with the big booty or the pretty girl with the big rack? Choices.

This may be the first time since 2004 that the Giants employ a new running style out of their backfield. Or McAdoo promised Coughlin on his deathbed that he'd continue to use a battering ram HB to tire down DEs. We will see! (Stay away from NY's backfield it's awful just take ODB, Shepard, and Eli as a late starter/backup and thank me in advance)

I play in a 16 team league and we had to eliminate a bench spot (from 4 to 3) so we can have a larger waiver pool. It gets bad but Ive had some really good teams that can could even compete in a smaller league.

My league decided to cut our Dynasty rosters from 29 to 25, and I'm sitting at 33 players right (overflow from draft and IR spots). And I like my whole team (sans Zach Zenner). I don't know what to do.

I bought a subscription to Rotoviz and I'm really liking it so far. The place does preach a zero RB strategy and I've been getting behind that a lot in my other leagues (I pick 3rd and 4th in those). BUT], I've been messing around with their Draft Optimizer app and have had some interesting results. I would never, ever, EVER commit to a position-based strategy before a draft. Just keep it loose, take the best player available, see who falls to you, and after 2-3 rounds see what positions you need and adjust accordingly. Rb zero should never be a goal entering a draft, it should just fall in your lap because other positions had value too great to pass up.

RVProfootballer posted:DST in dynasty, gross. Yeah I pushed really hard for IDP, but some people think IDP is less fun which makes zero sense to me. (My suggestion was to implement IDP but keep roster size the same forcing managers to make cuts that way) I wanted to keep Ervin as backup for Miller, and might hang on to one of the DSTs just because my league tends to hold the higher end ones. What's your thinking for dropping West over Ware? West was the one who got first dibs when Charles went down so I figured he'd be the lock of the two. I agree with Brady, Adams, Zenner, and the Packers. Hate to drop 2-3 of my rookie picks though :/ Has there been word out of the camps about Higgins, Ervin, or E: I see Drake has hurt his hamstring. Higgins I'm not really hopeful for as was a late round flier deal, so I will probably cut him. MacheteZombie fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Aug 11, 2016 |

Gobias Ind. posted:So I'm doing my first auction draft this year and have started to do a little prep to get a feel for it. Just did my first mock - 12 teams, PPR, $200 budget. Anything here look particularly egregious or savvy? I ended up with $6 left over, which I didn't like, and my RB2 situation is kinda ugly. How'd I do overall? Getting woodhead for 3% of your budget in a ppr is steal-of-the-century, at least for all of my leagues I actually love how you played rb2. Matt Jones could end up great, and if not youve got gore and woodhead to get you some dependable, if boring, produftion. Drunk Nerds fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Aug 11, 2016 |

ASJ still has a lot of upside - and even if you don't personally believe, you should still be able to get something for him in trade from another owner. Also, before you make cuts, send out some aggressive package up trade offers to other owners (especially those who need to make fewer cuts than you). You may be able to consolidate some roster space or acquire rookie picks. Here is who I'd recommend you cut: Zenner West (or Brady, but just know that someone contending team will likely scoop him up right away) Ervin Drake Adams Higgins Packers D Miller Nice team, BTW.

Thanks, sadly after this season I only get to keep 14 of them (league decided we should "reset" rosters every 3 years with 14 players being keepable). Seems like my rookies are first on the block. I asked RVP this, but why West instead of Ware?

Most pre-season/camp talk has pointed to Ware being the primary backup rather than West, and possibly the goal-line guy. It's just speculation at this point, so take it as you will. FWIW Matt Waldmann was a huge fan of Spencer Ware coming out, if you trust his talent evaluation. http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/8594/spencer-ware ESPN Chiefs reporter Adam Teicher considers Spencer Ware the team's No. 2 back behind Jamaal Charles. Although Charcandrick West made flashier plays, Ware severely outperformed him last season and is a better stylistic complement to Charles as a between-the-tackles pounder. There is a conceivable scenario in which Ware could offer some standalone value this year, especially if he handles short-yardage and goal-line work. Ware is a better late-round dart throw than West in fantasy

West vs Ware was already hit, but as for Drake, Ervin, and Higgins, I'm not aware of anything specific coming out about them disappointing it anything like that. They're all just long shots to have much value, and you don't have any vets besides those I listed that have less value. And in case you didn't see my edit above, I'd hold Bengals. You'll need a DST and they're a good one.

Yeah I agree with Cervixalot & keep Ware over West for what was outlined. I didn't have anything to add. If you're going down to 14 next year the guys that are 2-3 away are pointless because the top 14 on your team is disgustingly good. Edit: trade a QB and another piece to get a really good RB sometime this year though. Consolidate that talent if you can

Spoeank posted:How'd you get into the Scott Fish Bowl? That's awesome, who are you playing with? Are you secretly a fantasy analyst? I'm not an analyst, just a fan that listens to too many fantasy podcasts! I won an entry by rating and reviewing the Dynasty Blueprint podcast, and drafted against Ryan McDowell and some other analysts who I wasn't too familiar with. Here's my team: QB: Cousins, Tyrod, Goff RB: Gurley, Charles, Rawls, Matt Jones, Sims, Watson, Zenner, Collins WR: J. Nelson, Decker, Torrey Smith, VJax, Doctson, B. Ellington, Janis, Britt TE: Green, Rudolph, N. Paul I loaded up on workhorse RBs early to take advantage of the .25 points per carry and plan to start the full 5 RBs. I faded TE a bit too much in retrospect given the premium, and now the news that Ladarius Green might be done w/football is a huge blow. As I mentioned above, I'm probably going to need to get lucky and snag a breakout TE on the waiver wire to have a shot this year, unless Kyle Rudolph does something (he won't) or Jordan Reed gets injured (he might). For reference, SFB rosters are: QB RB/RB WR/WR/WR TE Superflex Flex/Flex/Flex .5 PPR for WRs and RBs, 1 PPR for TEs. .25 per carry for all positions (including QB) It was really fun to draft and shoot the poo poo with folks on Twitter, and I'm excited to get crushed mercilessly. The draft alone was a great experience, and if you're interested in participating next year, you can sign up now on https://www.scottfishbowl.com and keep an eye out for podcast/Twitter contests early summer next year.

In my 12-team PPR mocks drafting first overall, I often have the option of picking up Amari Cooper or TY Hilton on the 2/3 turn. I generally take 1 RB here since AB84 is my first pick and the "experts" say draft Cooper. What do you all think of Cooper vs. Hilton at that spot. Demaryius Thomas & Jarvis Landry are also consistently available there.

I think analysts tend to bump Coop a tad just because he is really, really fun to watch, and tend to fade TY a tad because he is sort of quietly good instead of OBJ good. Pretty much every projection (rather than ranking) has TY coming out on top. Also, I posted round-by-round draft targets from the 1 spot in 12-team ppr a few days ago, which seems pertinent in case you missed it.
