Haven't heard much talk about Travis Benjamin, what's everyones thoughts on him this year? He did surprisingly good on the Browns last season and he's now the #2 in San Diego being drafted in the late rounds.

Looking for players to fill an experimental league where almost everyone is a flex play. One quarterback. Six flex positions. Four bench players. It's the Superflex League! http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3784259 We have seven spots left. No idea if this will be a good idea or craptacular, but it should be an offense-a-palooza. Auction draft, FAAB, PPR, one keeper. I figured if you're gonna experiment, go hog wild.

Something about the Bear's backfield makes me think I'll get Langford and Howard as his handcuff and end up losing out on Kadeem Carey.

No doubt I'd agree just because of their defense alone but Chicago finished with the #1 ranked run blocking DVOA last year somehow. That's bound to be worth at least a little touching with a pole.

I've been stashing Howard and Carey in every dynasty league I can, despite owning 0 shares of Langford. I think that's the play, rather than spending the pick on Langford.

Yeah you're probably right. Langford is such a plodder and never makes anyone miss. He'll get carries for sure and Jon Fox is whimsical with his backfields. The other issue is I only have 6 bench spots in a 14 person league. I typically spend 5 of those spots on passed over starters and the last pick on risky speculation picks like Howard or Carey hoping for poor play out of a starter on a top offensive line team.

One of my favorite OTA anecdotes was about him: "New Orleans Times Picayune posted:"His improvement over these six practices has been awesome," Brees said after the Thursday workout. "From day one until now, the same mistakes are not being made. He's on to the next set of challenges, and he's continuing to progress well."

Some notes from Pats - Saints Pats: - James White looked really inconsistent with the ball in his hands. Would make a great cut or two on one play, then follow it up by nearly tripping over his own feet on another. Lapses in concentration look like a persistent problem, and physical conditioning may be a concern (he seemed to just peter out on his long play of the night, let himself get brought down at the goal line). - The 1st-team defense showed a continued emphasis on turnovers. This defense is looking to generate fumbles and poach passing lanes. Defense could have some big games for fantasy against the right opponent - should be a good streaming option. - Rookie Malcolm Mitchell looked like the best receiver on the field at times tonight (Edelman, Amendola, Hogan, and Gronk were not playing). Carter, Martin, Dobson, and Washington all have their believers, but Mitchell looked like the clear #4 and a lock for the roster before he hurt his elbow on an awkward fall. Bramel says that if it's "just" a bad dislocation, the time frame is 4-6 weeks, but if there are fractures to the bone, rehab can take months. Either way, there is enough receiving depth on this team that I'd be a bit skeptical of Bennett and Hogan at their current ADP. Lot of mouths. - Jimmy G might not be very good. Saints: - Ingram looked decisive, though not particularly explosive. Hightower seemed like the better backup than Spiller. Lasco didn't appear to be much of a factor. - Rookie Michael Thomas was featured pretty heavily. Flashed some solid talent, but has some rough edges. Started a few routes with a cheesy stutter step that didn't look like it was fooling anybody (even the second-stringers), and tended to turn his hips too soon looking for the ball, throwing off his stride and showing his hand to the DBs (did this once on what should have been a great sideline catch, and then again on what should have been a touchdown, coming up out of position and off balance both times). Great motor, showed consistently good effort running routes even away from the ball, but could use some work blocking. Had a really heads-up fumble recovery. One of the better players tonight. - Snead made some of our secondary look rather silly on a great open-field run.

I've got the #8 (out of 12) pick in our .5ppr keeper league. Here's what I know for sure so far Being kept: -AB84 -AP -OBJ -Gurley Not being kept (because they're on the same teams as the above and we only get 1 keeper): -Bell -Jeffrey -Gronk -Julio I could keep either Dez or Freeman, but I figure either will be available at the #8 spot anyway, so I'm not inclined to keep them and limit my options if somehow Julio falls all the way to #8. The way I see the draft playing out, I think I'll have my choice of Dez/Freeman, Gronk, Bell, Zeke, Miller. I'm still really tempted to just take Dez here, but the way last year went kind of scares me.

The answer is Julio now and forever, praise be unto him. Don't keep Dez. Out of those listed in your post I would go Julio Dez Gronk Zeke Bell Miller Jeffery Freeman

I guess I didn't really give him much thought due to years of neglecting the TE position. Now that I do think about it, and knowing (kind of) the way my league drafts there's is probably a decent chance I'd still have a chance at Dez in the 2nd. Or at the very least maybe Marshall/ARob. Edit: Probably I should just hold off on overthinking this until keepers are locked in this Sunday. Apparently the guy who was going to keep Gurley is now having 2nd thoughts and might keep Julio

Forever_Peace posted:I like TY 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. Here are my thoughts on your targets: Rnd 1: Antonio Brown [MrSargent] All day every day Rnd 2/3: Ideal falls: Jamaal Charles, Jordy, Alshon. [MrSargent] None of these guys have fallen in my mocks Likely picks: Ingram/TY/Lacy/Demaryius. [MrSargent] Ingram, TY, Doug Martin, and sometimes Brandon Marshall have been my picks here Rnd 4/5: Ideal falls: Dion Lewis, Maclin, ARodg [MrSargent] Each of these guys has dropped once and I have grabbed them Likely Picks: Hyde, Woodhead, Larry Fitzgerald, Foster [MrSargent] I haven't grabbed any of these guys but have considered Woodhead. Instead I have grabbed a QB if they have dropped (Newton, Rodgers, sometimes Wilson) and sometimes Demarco Murray Rnd 6/7: Ideal falls: Ryan Mathews, Delanie Walker, Coby Fleener [MrSargent] Only Mathews has dropped to here and I grab him everytime Likely Picks: Tyler Lockett, Ameer Abdullah, Jeremy Hill, John Brown, Kevin White [MrSargent] I like Devante Parker here but wouldn't be opposed to looking at Lockett more Rnd 8/9: Ideal Falls: Charles Sims [MrSargent] Usually forced to grab a TE here Likely Picks: Tevin Coleman, Willie Snead, Bilal Powell [MrSargent] Been taking Marvin Jones but have been hearing more about Snead lately Rnd 10/11: Ideal Falls: Kamar Aiken, CJ Prosise, Tony Romo [MrSargent] Grabbing Aiken here everytime, also picked up McKinnon Likely Picks: Sammie Coates, DeAndre Washington, Mohamed Sanu, Phillip Dorsett Rnd 12/13: Ideal Falls: Matt Ryan, Kenneth Dixon, Tyrod Taylor, Dwayne Allen [MrSargent] Allen would be gone way sooner than this and usually grab DST and K here Likely Picks: McKinnon, Ebron, Bruce Ellington Last mock is below. Also, let me know if posting my mocks is bothersome or not suited for this thread.

MrSargent posted:Rnd 6/7: Tyler Lockett ppr consensus ranking: WR 34, Overall 74 consensus projection: 57 receptions (34-82), 748 yards (447-918), 5 touchdowns (3-7). Pros: Matt Harmon gushed about him on reception perception, electric open-field runner (possibly the best return man in the league), supposedly had a great offseason and the coaches are saying all the right things, competition of targets is relatively modest (Baldwin/Graham/Prosise/Kearse will get theirs, but none are studs), history of college production (playmaker and dominator scores are very respectable), crazy good efficiency in his rookie year. Cons: Tiny baby hands, the offense just doesn't throw very much (upside is capped considerably), not much of a red zone target, we don't know yet whether he'll be an every-down player. Brugler on Lockett before draft last year: quote:STRENGTHS: Runs like the wind with speed to get behind the secondary on vertical patterns…sudden, decisive footwork off the snap and in his breaks to sell routes and attract holding penalties – dynamic and deliberate route runner…doesn’t slow down in his cuts, showing sharp burst to create space…deadly stop-and-go and double moves with a strong understanding of how to separate in his routes…slippery as a ballcarrier with excellent start/stop quickness, transitioning his weight well in his movements with spatial awareness and vision – instinctive and decisive returner…tracks and adjusts well to the ball…terrific sideline awareness to toe tap with coordination while finishing…scrappy and not afraid to get physical in tight coverage, using his hands to create room to work…experienced lining up inside and outside, starting 42 games in college…extensive experience as a return man at Kansas State with a school-record 2,196 career kick return yards (28.5 average) and four touchdowns and 488 career punt return yards (15.2) and two scores…holds 17 school records, including breaking his father’s career marks for catches (249), receiving yards (3,710) and touchdown receptions (29)…two-year team captain with strong football character and instilled competitive drive…football bloodlines as his father (Kevin) and uncle (Aaron) both played wide receiver for Bill Snyder at Kansas State in the mid-1990s – Kevin was a second rounder (47th overall) in the 1997 NFL Draft and played seven seasons in the NFL. DeVante Parker: ppr consensus ranking: WR32, Overall 65 consensus projection: 59 receptions (52-65), 858 yards (754-945), 6 touchdowns (5-7). Pros: 1st-round draft pedigree, fantastic build, carried huge volume in college, red zone threat, posted some good numbers near the end of last year, offense should still be pass-first, Cons: Mediocre mini reception-perception outlook, keeps getting banged up (including this offseason), might have to compete with rookie Leante Carroo for targets, Coaches have been gushing about Kenny Stills this offseason, Arian Foster could get his as well, subpar playmaker score from college, bad catch rate his rookie year (but sample size was small). Brugler on Parker before draft last year: quote:STRENGTHS: Excellent height/length body type with the frame to get stronger…long-striding speed with natural lower body explosion to get vertical in a hurry…shows multiple gears in his routes to set up defenders…quick-starter with the initial movements off the line of scrimmage to gain free release and stack corners, using field leverage to give him room to work down the sideline…disguises routes well with a strong plant foot, selling his patterns with crisp footwork…shows some shake in the open field with quick cuts to deceive after the catch and the vision to collect YAC…tracks the football and extends well to attack with a large wingspan and natural body control – usually reliable ballskills…above average vertical with the leaping ability to hang in the air…deceiving body strength and not a push-over, running tough and not allowing coverage defenders to slow him in his routes…tougher than he looks and not an easy ballcarrier to finish off…confident competitor and won’t shrink in crunch time…frequent visitor to the end zone with a touchdown every 4.7 catches for the Cardinals…consistently productive in college and leaves Louisville ranked top-five in several categories, including career receiving yards (2,775) and career receiving touchdowns (33).
