I've got my draft tomorrow, and I'm getting the guy drafting ahead of me (I'm 5th overall) drunk and trying to talk him into Ezekiel Elliott. Other than the amazing O-line, anything I can use to convince him?

I have this exact situation because I am dying for ODB over Hopkins and the guy picking third could get realistically drunk enough to take a RB.

In my league the top scoring RB, Devonta Freeman, had to have the perfect situation hand fed to him in both PPR, early YPC, and tons of TDs, and he still put up 100 less points than Antonio Brown.

Norris'es are back baby. It's good again. Awoouu (fox Howl)

quote:

Jared Cook caught 4-of-5 targets for 54 yards in the Packers' third preseason game Friday night.
Cook was a terrifying weapon for the 49ers' defense, shredding them down the seam between the twenties. Most importantly, Cook dominated first-team snaps, seeing 19-of-26 reps compared to just two for Richard Rodgers with the Aaron Rodgers group. Cook has always possessed a tantalizing size-speed combination, and has long been an inconsistent producer with technical flaws. He's late-round flyer material in hopes the light flipping on with Rodgers is real.

If anything, he's a better choice than Rodgers who was already Jared Cook-lite in the first place


Aaron Rodgers has never been afraid to use the TE, but I think people do the same with him and those 1.5 good seasons of Finley that they do with every Eagles TE since Brent Celek put up back to back decent years after the soft dick that was LJ Smith and keep drafting/WW-hyping them thinking that there's some scheme correlation that doesn't actually exist


e: I would be more than willing to bet that Cook has 2-5 weeks of legitimate top 3-5 TE production, but smart money says that the remaining 11-14 weeks will be you chasing the dragon and ending up with a cool 3 points

Torrey Smith is not very good at converting targets to production in general, let alone consistently, and his QBs are terrible. There's still plenty of opportunity in relation to cost, which is not a bad formula when taking late round flyers, but I still maintain that the most usefulness anyone is going to get from him is to draft him super late and then trade him as quickly as possible to whoever will take him for whatever you can get

That's actually a pretty bad strategy for Smith considering they play the Seahawks, Cardinals and Panthers in the first 5 weeks. You aren't gonna get gently caress all for him in an early trade.

What's the most someone saw Antonio Brown go for in one their .5 ppr leagues? I got a beer sheet saying that mother is worth 93? Best I can find is that dude going for 70. My budgets 200 and the only out of the normal thing is we start 1 RB with 2 WR and 1 flex WR/RB.

Did I fill out something wrong?

Most leagues are 2RB, 2WR, 1FLX. Since your league requires fewer RBs it shifts the value of WRs significantly.

Mike Evans fuckers. Last year he was a solid wideout 2 despite a terrible case of drops, a flukey low touchdown total, and a young retarded Jameis Winston the first half of the year.

His targets will stay the same, his drops will probably go down, his touchdown total will probably go up, and Jameis will be better (as he was in the second half of the year).

Anybody else think he might be this years Nuk?

Coby Fleener looks like poo poo too and for where he's getting drafted I am fading the gently caress out of him. Dwayne Allen has been the best opportunity cost TE that I've been seeing in drafts and ASJ, Tye, and Cook are all going undrafted and are my WW hail mary prayers.

EJ Hradek was at my cousin's wedding in 200(4?) and was sitting at the table next to me while I was remotely drafting my team and he made fun of me for drafting Donovan McNabb and that was the year that he and Westbrook went loving gangbusters and if I didn't run into a 7 TD Harrison/LdT buzzsaw in the semis, I would've won the league (with Jeff Garcia because lol)
