He's not really a sleeper. He's been talked about for awhile and even Beckham has been talking about him in the media. But Tajae Sharpe though. He was the ultimate sleeper. Talked about a little but mostly beat writers then a goon had to bring him up. Forced me to take him two rounds earlier than I thought in my goon dynasty draft the other day.

Just a friendly reminder since CMike is currently tearing up the preseason: Rawls ran significantly better in the actual season than CMike is currently doing in the preseason, over a significantly longer period, with significantly higher stakes, against significantly better opposition. Don't get carried away. I say this as a CMike dynasty owner.

Boon posted:So I have the option of taking the following in our 1PPR keeper auction draft: Really really depends on keeper rules. Does salary go up? What is the cap? If salary doesn't increase much, I could see taking Hopkins and planning on keeping him for 3-5 years. If it increases quite a bit, I'd much rather have Marshall at $10 this year (and maybe next, if he doesn't drop off by the end of this season). Freeman for $2 is crazy value, but assuming at least $200 budget, I'd probably take Marshall over him.

I'd probably take Freeman there, and I'm the guy who thinks Coleman will clear 35% of active run share. Ppr that's just a really great deal.

Spoeank posted:As someone who thinks Sterling Shepard is gonna be good if would thank you to hush it about him Shepards one of those buzz name sleepers. I'm surprised he's getting drafted over Corey Coleman who is essentially a bigger Shepard but running as a #1. I think Shepard finishes this year with 60ish receptions for 800ish yards and a couple TDs as his ceiling but really it's a mystery what a McAdoo Unchained offense looks like. He could get 90ish receptions for all we know. Coleman seems like a 1k yard 80 reception guy. He'll feast all day on underneath routes and has the hops for redzone targets. The Browns sadly have a better running game than the Giants which should take some pressure off of Coleman when he tries to hit those same routes Shepard will be running. I dunno, I think they'll both be available alongside Kevin White in the 7th/8th rounds and I'd lean towards Coleman out of the bunch. If everything goes according to plan in my draft I won't have to worry about grabbing a starting flex WR by then and grabbing any of the three would just be fun speculation picks.

Also speaking of mid-tier players how would you guys rank C.J. Anderson, Carlos Hyde, Matt Forte, Latavius Murray, and Thomas Rawls? In terms of sheer usage I think Hyde and Anderson are going to be near the top but Rawls feels like the safest bet.

Personally I think it's: Rawls > Anderson ~= Hyde > Murray > Forte But I'm also wondering if Murray is a surprise hit this season with their O-line upgrades and nasty-looking defense. EDIT: This is assuming the Denver WRs make their QBs look serviceable. Otherwise Anderson falls into the Murray tier, if not the Forte tier. They don't have the O-line to deal with box stacking.

Goon league. $200 auction budget, 2 keepers. Keeper prices go up $5/year. Already keeping OBJ at $11. For the other keeper I have two real options: - Doug Martin at $25. - Cam Newton at $8. or also Gronk at $49 is the more expensive option. Leaning towards Cam, but not sure. Thoughts?

Amari Cooper (3) Le'Veon Bell RB (8) Jordy Nelson WR (4) DeAndre Hopkins WR (9) Rashad Jennings RB (6) LeSean McCoy RB (1) Antonio Brown WR (1+1) Tyler Eifert TE (11) 0.5ppr, 2RB, 2WR, W/T, and R/W/T and I have last pick (10th). 3 keepers. AB and Hopkins for sure. I'm struggling between Eifert, Jordy, and Bell for my last one. Leaning Jordy since I have so many receiver slots. Thoughts?

The only thing that scares me off about LMurray is that the Raiders seem to be pretty lukewarm on him, and Deandre Washington is lighting up camp and the preseason.

Yeah I agree, Murray's touches won't be threatened at all in the first few weeks of the year. I'm just worried that he's kind of a dud RB. I also think the Raiders' passing offense will dominate the touches.

I'm not sure how many more touches they can get Murray, he was one of four backs over 300 last year (#4, 307).

They already threw the ball over 600 times last year, which was in the top half of the league. They really don't have much more room for the passing game to dominate (they were 4 - 5 passes a game out of the top spot last year, some of likely at least one of which would go to Murray). Worrying Murray is a dud is a good point though. Personally, I would go: Murray Hyde CJA Rawls Forte With Hyde, there were concerns that he wouldn't be involved so much in the pass game. I think he will based on preseason game one (Gabbert's first two terrible passes were to Hyde), but we gotta see what happens tomorrow. I don't like CJA but here we are. Rawls worries me because they "hope" he can get into preseason game 4, meaning CMike could steal a lot of touches since Rawls has to get up to speed. I love the player but his situation is slowly backsliding into poop for the first half of the season. Forte is gonna lose out to Powell a lot IMO.

Shepard is why I want to stop being in the FF game. I was in on him ages ago. Ages!  Rueben Randle managed 800 & 8 and was a startable player last season, Rueben Randle. Corey Coleman is the better player but RGthrizzle loves the TE, and the underneath & red zone could easily go to Barnidge. There's a clearer role to start off with for Shepard, IMO.

With receptions (41) he is over 300. Yeah I'm not sure he can get more haha. Maybe Rio just thinks his offense will be on the field 50 minutes of every game.

Forever_Peace posted:Gotta be Bell for an 8th, especially if you can keep again next year. Yeah, it's perpetual with a +1 penalty each year. I actually acquired Bell in a baller trade a couple years ago. I'm only hesitating because my championships the last two years were won off my superior WR stable. But I suppose Bell is a steal at that price, moreso than Jordy.

I know I've asked you guys about this before, but as my draft draws closer I'm having second thoughts on my choices. Weird keeper system, but basically all you need to know is that every player is worth X points and I can keep up to 10 points worth of players for free. After 10 and up to 16, I have to sacrifice draft picks to acquire more points to accommodate (a 1st for 5 points, 2nd for 4, etc.). Here are my options, with current choices in bold. 12 teams, effective 2QB league (superflex), 0.5 PPR. Eddie Lacy (7) Brandin Cooks (6) Dez Bryant (6) Todd Gurley (5) Keenan Allen (5) Derek Carr (4) Matt Jones (4) DeVante Parker (4) Danny Woodhead (2) Stefon Diggs (2) Jeremy Langford (2) Michael Crabtree (2) Ryan Fitzpatrick (2) With these keepers I would give up a 4th. I also have a very good chance of having a top 3 pick in this draft, so I could potentially pass on a guy like Dez and redraft him if he's there in the first round. Now that I look at it, those 2 point players are basically equivalent to a 4th round pick after keeping Gurley and Allen...so I dunno if Woodhead is really worth a 4th. I'm probably overthinking this. Mikey Purp fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Aug 19, 2016 |
