After browsing the rate my team thread for a bit, If you are new and/or haven't drafted yet, DO NOT DRAFT A DEFENSE OR KICKER UNTIL THE LAST ROUNDS If you have a 15 round draft, Defense / Kicker should be at the earliest round 13. Depth is REALLY important on FF teams, use the extra round that people are grabbing those positions early to pick up sleeper WR/RB or other people you see mentioned here. It will make your team much better / life much easier.

What do you guys think of Kirk Cousins this year? I picked him up off of waivers last season, so I ended up watching almost all of his games, and I legit thought he looked good. I hear Nick Foles comps calling Cousins a flash in the pan, but I don't see it, having seen all of Foles games with the Eagles.

I encourage waiting on QB, but leaving it to after-thought is dangerous and a little silly. There's no reason not to start thinking about a QB around round 8, but I would never wait until 12-14 for a starter that's crazy. I've been getting Carr and Tannehill at 10/11/12 and I'm really happy with that and there's no way in hell I'd be comfortable entering a season with the worse QBs I'd get at the bottom of the barrel. Also, remember that people are stupid and will draft a backup to Rodgers/Newton/Wilson/etc. before the last 3 rounds, so if you think you're all smarter than the room and hey I'm gonna wait  you're probably going to overthink and gently caress yourself

Drafting 101: there's no right or wrong round to take any position except kicker and DST, don't turn down value when guys fall further than they should because of some dumb rigid 0 RB or wait for QB strategy, duh. Class over.

Yes, but drop someone else. You want 3 startable QBs when you can start 2. Edit: Unless I'm confused. Is it one dedicated QB spot + a superflex where you can start a QB if you want? Or do you say "2 QB" as in you can only start 1 and max of 2 on roster, or something like that? If you can start 2, you want to start 2. sourdough fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Aug 30, 2016 |

I'm the biggest Kelce fan out there but he's a farce this year. Kc simply plays at too slow of a pace and passes too little for him to be anything than a mid TE1. I'd take walker and fleener over him or just wait for Ebron or McDonald.

I've been getting Dwayne Allen in like the 11-14th in 12-teamers and with no Fleener to siphon targets, I feel like that's plenty fine for a TE. I'd probably take Walker and Fleener over Kelce also, but I wouldn't touch any of them at their ADP as is. Kelce in the 8th is a good pick, but if TEs are going that late, Allen is probably going undrafted and I can't imagine wanting to pass on whatever QB or RB/WR depth that are around to take any TE when there's bound to be that kind of value available for pennies.

Zeus is going to strike you both down with lightning bolt spikes as he plows into the endzone on a 2 yard pass from Alex Smith. (I really worry about his production this year as well, but I am optimistic since I own him in dynasty)

MarquisDeCarabas posted:I agree with having six teams make the playoffs. Would you still have weeks 14-16 be the playoffs with the 1st and 2nd seed having byes in week 14? A little late to the party but here's another option for a 12-team league. This is how my dynasty league is organized: 3 divisions of 4 teams each. 13-week regular season. Each team plays their division rivals twice (=6 games) plus they play all but one of the non-division teams once each (=7 games). (change which one team each team doesn't play from one year to the next, so that over the course of 8 years, it cycles around.) In week 14, the winners of each of the three divisions get a bye. Two wildcard teams determined by best overall record play one another in the wildcard match. If you have a consolation bracket, it also starts week 14. Week 15, top seeded division champ plays the winner of the wildcard match, the other two division champs play each other. Week 16, two winners of the previous week play for 1st and 2nd place. Losers from the previous week play one another for 3rd and 4th place. Consolation bracket final match plays, which potentially gets you a consolation bracket winner. In our league, consolation bracket winner wins a small prize. I'm a big proponent of making consolation bracket games meaningful, because in a dynasty or keeper league it's important to discourage teams from deliberately throwing matches late in the season once they know they're out of the playoffs, in order to secure better drafting spots or something. If you don't have meaningful play through the playoff weeks, you should enforce some kind of trade deadline that happens before playoffs, so that playoff contenders can't grab good players off of eliminated teams. In addition to consolation brackets, you can have weekly contests at the end of the season, weeks 14-16. For example, you could give a small prize each week to the team that is out of the playoffs that earns the most fantasy points that week. Anything to keep people engaged and not checking out once they're eliminated is good. The above system I described has the disadvantage that one team pairing doesn't play one another; but, it makes the divisions meaningful (play each div rival twice, winning a div is an automatic pass to the semifinals), means you don't have to run the final championship match during week 17 (when many NFL teams sit their studs), and makes for larger divisions (I think 4 three-team divisions is a little silly).

I also punt TE's and have ended up with Allen twice, but I'm concerned that the Colts line is so bad that he might be doing more blocking than we had presumed when we drafted him.

Should I keep Watkins as a 7th or Duke Johnson as a 12th rounder in a full PPR league with 2W 2R 1T 2WTR? I am keeping Cooper(6), Nelson(15), and Kelvin(last round). I have 2 1st's including 2nd overall so will hope for Zeke there and just grab a bunch of RB's I guess. Duke is good in PPR though, advice?

Last year with no Luck and with just as bad of an O-Line, the 3 Colts TEs combined for about 80/700/5 (TE10). I don't think it's really unreasonable to expect Allen to at least match Fleener's 55/500/3 (TE15) from last year. For where he's being drafted I have no problem with taking him there to start and then keeping an eye on ASJ/Tye/Cook/McDonald, hoping that one of them is this year's Barnidge/Watson, and making the swap (which I wouldn't be able to do if I were more heavily invested in a TE like Kelce, Walker, or Fleener, who honestly have just as much likelihood of breaking through the glass ceiling between TE4-5 and the rest of the pack). They also have Chud as an OC, who if memory serves, does tend to favor TEs (though I don't think they will feature them), and even if Dorsett takes a huge step forward, I don't think they have the WR depth to run a lot of 3WR sets. Considering their OL issues, that could lead to more 2 TE sets, where I'd imagine that Allen would be the one running routes.

Actually, when a team has a crappy o-line and especially a backup QB playing, that's good for TE production. They play more snaps to add protection and bolster the OL, and they're a useful quick checkdown option. I have no opinion about whether Allen is a great TE option or not, but I don't buy the argument that because the Colts fed TEs a lot last year while having a bad OL and a backup QB, that means the Colts will feed even more looks to TEs with a better OL and with Luck at the helm. The rest of the argument seems OK, but I think at best the TE situation in Indy is a little uncertain and there's downside risk to any Indy TE.

That said they have two new wide receivers and two new tight ends that are all awesome, not to mention the passes to the RBs so they are going to spread it around a lot.

In hindsight, I should have picked up RB depth instead of getting Kelce but I still think it was a solid pick on the 7/8 turn. Allen ended up going in the 12th. Does anyone else feel like Lacy is going to have a much better year this year? He looked great in preseason ( i know preseason lol) and every indication is that the coaches are happy with him.

I have absolutely no statistical evidence to back this, but I'd also have to hope that those targets would be of a "higher quality" coming from Luck instead of god knows what they trotted out there last year, and that would help Allen maintain that baseline level of production if not raise his ceiling a bit.
