Walker is a year from death, Tajae Sharpe is a 5th round rookie on a team that doesn't throw. Edit: I assume it is known, but probably don't listen to Metapod when it comes to Titans, haha

Kelce has an ADP like 60ish, Walker somewhere in the 100-120 range, and a mid 2nd is similar or a bit later. If you're rebuilding, it's even easier to sell off Walker for a much younger TE1.

Does Crowder have any real upside? He's tiny and not very fast. Maybe he's in the Jarvis Landry, Wes Welker, Julian Edelman mold, but not every catchy slow guy in the league is going to get 160+ targets like those guys have in the past. They need so much volume to be worthwhile.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about being unable to attend a live draft for one of my leagues. Do I submit a list of 200 players or give criteria such as best WR in first round or whatever?

Even our live drafts are done using a online tool, if your league doesn't do that you're probably getting autodrafted. If they are doing it online you can usually setup draft lists from the website your league is using. (might not be the case for a site like clickydraft)

This is because Walker will be as or more productive as Kelce allowing him to trade him probably for the same price next year Kelce is being drafted 40-50 spots ahead of Walker, which is already taking into account expected production next year. Walker also had the 10th highest target share in the league, and highest among tight ends. Doubtful he sees so many targets again. The running game and receivers are pretty certain to be improved this year compared to last. I think you're right in that I doubt he loses a ton of value in the next year, but he's only going to keep descending, and this isn't trading him for fair value, it's trading him for considerably more than he's worth.

When my friends league had live drafts the rule was if you were not there you would get the highest rated draft pick at your spot until all starters were filled then bench was two of each WRs/RBs and one QB. Player had the option beforehand to declare if K and Def was taken after starters or the last two rounds. No special instructions allowed.

Assuming Le'Veon Bell's appeal doesn't go well, and he remains suspended for the first four games, would you rather keep: Le'Veon Bell in the 3rd OR CJ Anderson in the 18th At first I was sure I would go with Bell, but now I'm wavering. No matter which one I keep this year, they will go back in the pool next year. Standard scoring, non-ppr.

Speaking of keeper leagues, I need some thoughts on my last keeper on a stacked team. I'm already keeping 2 QBs, 2 TEs, 4 RB, 3 WR, 1 K, and 1 DST. As you can see this is basically a dynasty league. I have one slot left. My top three options are: Justin Forsett, Kamar Aiken, and Steve Smith. I find it amusing that they are all on the ravens, but I'm having a hard time picking. My initial inclination is to just keep Forsett since he's objectively the most valuable this year, but I already have kept 4 RB and only 3 WR (we start 2 RB / 3 WR / Flex). Of the WRs, I think Aiken is probably the keep over Smith. Assuming that's right, what do you guys think on Forsett vs Aiken? CompeAnansi fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Aug 16, 2016 |

Justin Forsett is a 30-year-old scatback one-year wonder who has a shitload of backfield competition and probably won't be the starter for longer than a month, if even that. Do not keep Forsett.

As you can see this is basically a dynasty league. I have one slot left. I would definitely take Aiken here. Forsett is solid but getting up there in years, and like you mentioned, you have 4 RBs already. Aiken has much higher upside and may even turn out to be a decent keeper next year (if possible).

You are basically getting an RB1 for free and CJA looked much better in the 2nd half of last year. With Bell, you are getting him at his ADP in the 2nd round from what I have seen in mocks lately.

The League of Posts, a 14-team PPR auction league with a small keeper system, is drafting this Saturday! We have one unclaimed team that needs a new owner. We're hosted here in Armchair Q, and I'd really appreciate it if someone took a chance on us. Details are all in this thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3782046 Thanks!

Man, I can't join any public money leagues this year because I moved to Iowa, and they banned fantasy sports for cash because of fuckheads like FanDuel. I just wanna take the money of dumbasses on Yahoo, not systematically trick people out of their money. I mean, I could join cash leagues here, but y'all are much smarter than the average Yahoo player.

He's Josh Gordon levels of wasting talent, but with a criminal history that's way worse than "likes weed," no NFL success to speak of and even more laziness. The Titans coaches poo poo on him all summer and buried him on the depth chart as a motivational tactic, then traded him for peanuts when none of it worked. Yet despite all that, I kept hearing fantasy jokers, even people whose opinions I normally take seriously, talk about DGB as a "sleeper." I swear, this business is so infatuated with 40 times and SPARQ scores that they never pay attention to the poo poo coaches care about -- like, you know, trying in practice and not being a knucklehead.

The Titans coaches poo poo on him all summer and buried him on the depth chart as a motivational tactic, then traded him for peanuts when none of it worked. Fantasy guys are absolutely obsessed with SPARQ and take a really awkward angle at it. RotoViz in particular has this problem where they'll line up two players who have similar combine scores and one is a superstar and the other is a dummy who can't line up right or has frying pan hands and act like they're the same. For example, one of the earliest Vance McDonald Hype Pieces looked solely at his combine compared to other TEs in his class. They ignored what he showed on tape because his 40 time was similar to Travis Kelce's. Fantasy guys really don't like soft factors and try too hard to make it fantasy baseball, with a billion stats they can point to. For every Reception Perception you get a dozen awkward and poorly developed and executed stats that get us further from the truth. It's the blind spot of the industry right now that there's six days a week this player and coaching staff interact that we don't see on tape. It's easier to support your position with tape and stats and not these soft factors so it goes too far. This is something I look at which is why I was screaming pull up on CJA in the first last year. Everything indicated he would get shelved at the smallest issue because they didn't have time to work it out, it was Peyton's last ride. His injury and struggles meant it took half a season for him to get back on the field because they couldn't afford to put it in his gut 20 times a game while he worked through it. There's also that too many fancy themselves amateur college scouts so they fall in love with a guy and never move off their evaluation until it's too late. They write hype pieces on a team's WR6 and ignore how far away they are from actual production. DeAndre Smelter got hype pieces this offseason for God's sake. They also write pieces that really are about proving they're better than each other and have unearthed some deep truth. Playing in 20 team 40 man IDP 2 QB tiered PPR leagues with high school player drafts have moved too much of the industry way too far away from the common man and into insane stances they can't move away from, like DGB. In short: nerds using stats they don't understand and ignoring outside factors to try to prove they're king nerd.
