I get 2 keepers in a 2-QB league. Right now I think I want to keep Ingram since I got him in round 6 last year but I also have Brady, Brees, and stashed Taylor early in Week 2 from last year. Should I just keep a combination of 2 QBs (both round 1, 2 picks) or just Brees? Keeping Taylor means he'd count as just a Round 8 pickup due to being a waiver addition but obviously Brees or Brady are better players. Also have Watkins/Bryant/Kelce but I don't think they'd enter this conversation.

I drafted Matt Jones and my league laughed at me saying he's injured. How worried should I be. News seems to say he should be ready by week 1.

Brady isn't anywhere near worth keeping as a 2nd round pick when he's missing 4 games this year. I'd probably go for Tyrod at 8th round over Ingram at 6th if this is a 12 team or larger league, but go for Ingram if fewer than 12 teams or you know from past experience that people don't hoard QBs that much in this league.

Well, he's probably going to be back at worst a week or two into the season, and possible for week 1 yeah, but he's also bad.

I nearly got laughed out of the Rate My Team thread for starting Dalton and Carr in a 2QB league. Don't be like me. Keep Brees and maybe Taylor. If Brady hangs around into the mid rounds of the draft (he won't) I'd try to scoop him back up too.

I am also on the Dalton train after waiting for a QB for forever in combination with everyone in my league taking backup QBs early into their bench depth. I think Dalton's bread and butter this year is going to be those quick hit plays to Bernard and having Green over the top. That should be good enough for a decent completion rate, probably 250-300 yards a game, and probably 2 TDs a game. I'd take that in a heartbeat instead of wasting my fourth round pick on a a high scoring QB that will hurt my value for my starting RBs/WRs.

I have a "Who do I drop" question. I never draft Defense, Kicker, or Defensive players, so I'm going to have to drop 4 guys from my bench in order to fill the DEF, K, Defensive Player, and Defensive Back positions before week 1. I'd like some advice as to who I should drop. My team: QB- Wilson RB- Bell (K) RB- Elliot WR- Nelson (K) WR- Watkins WR- Tate FLEX- Langford TE- Ertz B- John Brown B- DeAngelo Williams B- Marvin Jones B- Matt Jones B- Sterling Shepard B- Emannuel Sanders B- Bilal Powell B- Devin Funchess B- Willie Snead B- Deandre Washington My last 4 picks were Powell, Funchess, Snead, and Washington so I'm leaning towards dropping them. *Note* Due to trades, my last pick out of an 18th round draft was round 12 - So I should probably look at packaging some or all of these 4 players for a pick or player in return right? I know they will probably get scooped off waivers immediately Thoughts? Also if ya'll wanna rate my team go ahead even though this isn't the thread for that

Yeah I didn't understand the hate for those two picks either. They're perfectly fine in a 2 QB league. They're even a decent one-two streaming punch in 1 QB leagues.

Packaging up two or three for one deals to upgrade is ideal. I'd also kinda hate to drop season-long potentially useful players rather than Deangelo Williams, but I'd also hate to give another team three weeks of RB1 production. Tough.

In my 14 team 1 QB league Im running with Carr and Prescott as my QBs. The waiver wire is thin. Is it worth dropping Prescott for Siemann, Osweiller, Cutler or Fitzpatrick? Im worried that Carr is gonna be p. Mediocre and im trying to grab the next "QB that is going to be good for one year" player.

I'm not sure why you would worry over Carr being mediocre, he improved a lot between his rookie year and last year and has a solid receiving group. The only QB I would drop Prescott for is Cutler. Cutler quietly had his best season last year and is much less risky than a rookie QB. With Dak, he has looked good but we have no idea how he will play in the regular season.

So only one day after this draft, i've already been approached by someone wanting to trade. He's named Jamaal Charles as available but is waiting for me to shoot him an offer if i'd like. Full PPR we start 2WR/2RB/TE/WT WR - Julio Jones/Alshon Jeffrey/Keenan Allen/Larry Fitzgerald/Michael Crabtree/Rishard Matthews RB - Thomas Rawls/Jonathan Stewart/Danny Woodhead/Ryan Mathews/Duke Johnson So basically i can only start 3 WR's and i'm loaded there, which i think is why he's targeting me? My RB's are not this years top 5 or anything, but in a full PPR league, i think i'm pretty set. Though getting someone like Charles is definitely enough to get interest from me, should i stand pat with who i have or throw an offer? His other RB's are Gurley, Lacy, and Blount. WR's are Landry, Kelvin Benjamin, Jordan Matthews, Allen Hurns, and Sanu.

Drunk Nerds posted:"Another WR" as in "Julio or Allen, who are really good WRs and also better than Alshon?" If so, your best bet is to get him to pony up some more on his end of the Alshon-Martin deal, instead of trying for AP. Him nixing it rather than counter-offering is a clear sign you'd be wasting your time trying to put together a package deal for All-Day I'm thinking of throwing him DeMarco or Langford in addition to Alshon. Am I overpaying here?

Anyone else super excited about Mike Evans this year? I'm drafting 12th of 12 and am taking [Best Available WR] + Mike Evans at the turn. In early season mocks I was getting him in the 3rd but hes been steadily climbing into the 2nd and sometimes the 1st. I think him and Winston really have clicked and his preseason thus far has only proved that. I'd be picking him over WRs such as Allen, Jeffery, Nelson or Cooks but I'm ok with that.

RCarr posted:I have a "Who do I drop" question. I think you should pursue the trades if you can, but otherwise wait until after the last preseason games before making your drop/add. Part of the strategy of going no-kickers or defense during a draft is that a lot of players get injured during the preseason, so this approach reduces your risk from injury by giving you more rosterable players to pick from. If one of your guys gets a significant or season-ending injury, then your decision is made for you, and the rest of your roster will still have a full lineup of players who were draftable to begin with.

Does anyone play any of the public money leagues? I won 1/2 Yahoo Pro leagues last year but the format sucks (10-team standard). FFPC looks interesting, but $1750 is wayyyyyy out of my budget. Their $350 looks pretty cool too but more realistically I would maybe do their $77 league. Then there's Apex and Masters... I don't know where to go. I just want something in the $50-100 range that has 12 teams. Any thoughts on those three sites? Seems like they'd be full of sharks. Alternatively, any goon leagues still have an opening?

Picking 5th .5 PPR and .1 PPC 12 team league. I was locked on Hopkins but then I started to waver after knowing my position for weeks. I am now thinking David Johnson or AJ Green, assuming the big 3 and Gurley are off the board. I am leaning towards DJ because I think the league will favor favor RBs, especially in the second. So I think I could still end up with an Evans or Allen in the second and not have to deal with picking up RB scraps with a full on WR draft. I also feel like I always nail WR sleepers while always dealing with RB poo poo platters. Also the .1 PPC is so weird that I am thinking RB.

Probably not the best option for first bigger money public league, but I finished just outside of the prizes, in 4th. Generally solid competition, maybe only one truly terrible guy. Probably a good bit tougher than Yahoo, but I don't know.

I mentioned before that I am the new commissioner of my 12-team office league. So far, the only "non-standard" changes I have made are to reduce benches to six players and make it .5 PPR. I"m pondering some other changes: (1) I'm thinking about switching to FAAB as it sounds fun; do people generally prefer FAAB to waivers? Do you do "normal" FAAB or "continuous" FAAB? What budget do you use? (2) What are folks' preferred playoffs/championship structure? Anything else I should think about changing?

What site are you using for your league? This year my league changed to FAAB because we noticed glaring flaws in both of the other waiver systems. We are giving each owner a $100 budget for the season, but $0 bids are allowed. For playoffs in a 12 team, I think having 6 playoff teams total is the best because its more fun when more people are involved at the end. To each his own though. the top 4 seeds are picked by division winners (4 divisions of 3 teams each). The 2 wildcards are determined by the next two teams with the highest point totals. This is a good combination of division competition with fairness for playing in a tough division.
