He only gets 15 minutes per call though so he can't be too early or too late. He can't switch between email and phone since they are in different parts of the facility or else we'd email him 3-4 picks before his so he had time to get in line and make the call. We've all agreed to pause the draft when it gets to him if he hasn't called us.

There was nothing wrong with DGB hype. He was slow getting going and totally inconsistent, but games where he got any volume he put up big numbers. Easy to forget given the stellar rookies recently, but 30-550-4 is a totally fine rookie stat line, and not evidence of some massive bust. The Titans receiving corps was begging for someone to step up, and DGB was as good a bet as anyone until Matthews signed on. I mean, it totally depends how high people were hyping him up, of course. But hoping for 50-800-6 or something like that, assuming he was able to claim a starting spot, doesn't seem insane hype given his competition was Kendall Wright and Justin Hunter.

Benne posted:Why did people think DGB was ever going to be a thing? 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. You're making the assumption that nfl front offices make perfect decisions. You're talking about a team that hasn't developed a wr worth a drat since the early/mid 2000s. Some players never realize their potential (Rueben Randle, Jared Cook, ect.) but certain metrics are predictive enough to be used in finding potential breakout candidates.

I think the Eagles trading for DGB pretty definitively suggests that Agholor is the bigger bust here than DGB. Dude was a 20th overall pick in the NFL draft and a mid rookie 1st in fantasy.

Seattle gave up a goddamned fortune for Percy Harvin who was a spectacular flop, while the niners got three good years out of Boldin for just a sixth round pick. Huff will probably stick around on the roster for kick returns, but you're right it's not clear yet who the outside guys will be.

Dude was a 20th overall pick in the NFL draft and a mid rookie 1st in fantasy. I was calling Agholor a stupid pick from day one. I have no idea why teams are consistently infatuated with high polish USC receivers. But he's still a young guy and can make the leap. Same with DGB. And the reason people keep holding out hope is that DGB is a physical freak. Tons of guys in the NFL get drafted with a myriad of red flags and turn in productive careers. Vontaze Burfict is the first name that comes to mind. Hell you can have guys that turn in just a few ok seasons and be well worth the chances like Alfonzo Dennard. Giants cut Will Hill and suffered one of the worst coverage years in their history as a team. I'd always take the physical freak headcase over the polite kid who topped out in college. For fantasy that's a different story but I can see why people still think DGB can turn it around.

Like I said, this is my first year participating in a league, so any tips or anything like that are greatly appreciated. It is a PPR league with reception providing .5 points. This is pretty average IMO. You should never draft more than 1 TE, much less 3 of them. I'd drop Witten for one of the sleeper RBs or WR mentioned on the last two pages. Same for DGB, he has zero chance of early season relevance after being traded. You probably didn't need a backup QB since you have Brees, but Brees has an early bye and Flacco plays the Redskins during Brees' bye so I'd just hold him at this point.

Yeah, I didn't know that about the TE thing, I just grabbed the other two because I figured getting backups for injuries or bye weeks would be good. As for dropping players and replacing them, how does that work exactly? (Like I said, it's my first time doing this) Am I able to drop people and just grab people that weren't drafted, or is there a different method that I have to go through.

My big rear end money dynasty league needs keepers set. 14 teams. No limit to keepers. Salary cap $300. Starting lineup is QB/RB/RB/WR/WR/WR/TE/DL/DB/LB/DEF/K. 12 STARTERS/9 RESERVES/5 IR/3 PRACTICE SQUAD. Salary format is first three years, contracts increase by 10%, fourth year 20%, fifth year 50% and we haven't figured out from there. Any injury can be stashed on IR, up to 5 spots. I bolded who I am thinking of keeping. Adds up to 18 players costing $115. That will leave me with $185 to draft on 8 skill position players, since I have stashed the practice squad and IR to capacity with guys I am keeping. Let me know what you think. Also debating cutting Watt and seeing if I can get him cheaper. From a position advantage standpoint, he is worth it, but he was just average last year in our league and I am wondering if it is worth the cost, with his injury. I think it is worth the risk to try getting him back cheaper, because he likely won't start the season. I am pissed I drafted Mack for cheap and then cut him three weeks into the season. I need to be patient with rookies in dynasty formats. Derek Carr -- $4 Lamar Miller -- $10 Kamar Aiken -- $4 Allen Robinson -- $6 Zach Miller -- $2 JJ Watt -- $21 Teddy Bridgewater -- $3 Jeremy Hill -- $4 Stefon Diggs -- $10 Cardinals -- $2 Jordan Matthews -- $2 Tyler Eifert -- $6 Maxx Williams -- $2 Andrew Luck -- $29 Karlos Williams – $2 Zach Zenner -- $2 Steve Smith – $2 Eric Ebron -- $4 Tim Hightower -- $22 Larry Fitzgerald -- $41 Malcolm Smith -- $2 Malcolm Jenkins -- $2 Ryan Mathews -- $32 Graham Gano -- $2 Bryce Brown -- $19 Jaelen Strong -- $2 Marshawn Lynch -- $51 Tevin Coleman -- $52 Marquess Wilson -- $10

Is strong really worth it? I think I can get him back at a similar contract. I haven't heard anything about him. For the Malcolms, I can. It is FAAB and that becomes the player's contract. I am going to look it over, because I had a similar thought on both. And an interesting new development just emerged. There is an expansion draft, and I need to protect 6 players. Everyone else is available. Which six do you protect?

I just think he's another rookie you should be patient with for another year at least, at minimal cost. I guess if you expect you can drop him and get him for $1 off the wire, might as well. For 6 players to protect I'd do: Derek Carr -- $4 Lamar Miller -- $10 Allen Robinson -- $6 Jordan Matthews -- $2 Tyler Eifert -- $6 Those 5 are obvious. Then one of the next list, depending how you feel about them: Jeremy Hill -- $4 Stefon Diggs -- $10 Andrew Luck -- $29 Eric Ebron -- $4 I'd probably do Hill or Ebron, as I think Luck for $29 isn't an amazing deal given your salary increase structure (his long-term value takes a big hit since his cost keeps going up; makes old vet QB1s like Rivers and Palmer and Romo much better deals comparatively, and one of those would pair nicely with Carr) and I don't care to invest much in the probable Vikings WR2.

This means you have a budget of like $100-200, and you bid on what free agents you want based on how much demand you think they'll be in.. For example, if Adrian Peterson tears his ACL in Week 1, after Week 1 you would want to bid a huge amount of your budget on Jerick Mckinnon , his direct backup. If you're switching your 4th receiver for a different 4th receiver, you would bid less, like $1-2, or simply wait until Wednesday and add the new player for $0.

Slowdrafting an MFL10 pub league, and trying to go Zero RB from the 12 spot sucks rear end. My pick has come up at the turn in round 3 I'm starting to see that everyone else is trying Zero RB as well. Kinda thinking I should go BPA here considering my options, but could use a gut check from you d00ds: Current Roster: Jordy Nelson Dez Bryant Best available: QB: Aaron Rodgers Cam Newton RB: Doug Martin Carlos Hyde CJ Anderson Thomas Rawls WR: Julian Edelman Donte Moncrief Eric Decker TE: Greg Olsen Kinda thinking I should grab Rodgers and Edelman or Martin.

Mt list was Carr, Luck, Miller, Robinson, Eifert and Hill. I will only lose two players of the unprotected ones, but I just targeted the six best players. My question is really between Matthews and Hill. Which is the better player ADP wise in dynasty?

Looking at the above, the top five players are consistently Lamar miller Jordan Matthews Allen Robinson Andrew Luck Tyler Eifert Then it gets murky. Honestly, it seems like keeping Carr could be the wrong call at six. But a lot of places like Diggs long term and I am not so sure. Hill is a solid choice, because I think he might fall back to me. I think I will look at other teams to see what prospective players could be available and go from there

I am just still salty from last year. It really comes down to Diggs, Hill or Carr. I was just offered Keenan Allen ($47 ) for Lamar Miller ($10) Is it worth countering Hill and Diggs for Allen? 1PPR, I could be trotting out Allen/Robinson/Matthews and still have plenty of cap space for the draft.
