Can anyone help me understand the ESPN FAAB difference between continuous (picking individual days) and regular (picking a period of time)?

From what I understand, continuous means that when waivers clear and players go to teams based on bids, all "Free Agents" go right back onto waivers to be bid on. In the non-continuous, Free Agents can be picked up without bidding money until the next waiver period.

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. This. Have a list and if a steal falls, get them whenever. If nothing falls, be sure to catch a guy on your list once it starts thinning out.

Non-continuous seems like the right call I guess but it doesn't specify when waivers go off.

Brett Favre? But yah that wasn't for long. I think while Teddy wasn't great, he is much better than Shaun Hill. I don't think Teddy going down helps AP at all is really what I meant.

Would you guys drop Tajae Sharpe for Michael Thomas? How about for Travis Benjamin? Also, would you rather have old man Gates or old man Witten?

I think Michael Thomas is droppable in 12+ team re-draft if you're in a crunch. For all the OTA and camp praise, he's looked like poo poo in game action and I would bet my life savings that every NO passing target that isn't Cooks, and potentially Fleener if he actually gets his poo poo together, are going to cannibalize the poo poo out of each other. I would most certainly not keep him at the cost of losing Benjamin or Sharpe

I've learned not to bet against him, but at this point, unless Johnson falls past the turn, I'd rather have Gronk or nearly all of the top 10-15 WRs at their ADP than pretty much any of the RBs going in the first 20 picks and this definitely reinforces why Peterson falls on that list

Teams are cutting now and there are competent backup QBs to be had. Vikes will surely pick one up. Mark Sanchez? Christian Ponder, maybe? Then again Zach Mettenberger is also available, so things could get worse.

My hope is Aaron Murray (supposedly KC are shopping him) winds up in Minnesota. He has a handle on KC's system and a decent arm to actually punish teams for over committing in the box. That said, Laquon Treadwell now only desirable in dynasty format?

I just think people are getting spoiled with the performance of rookie WRs recently. Norv Turner is a putz, Teddy has a noodle, and Treadwell was maybe the #2 option at best with drop issues and in a mediocre offense. There are a bunch of WRs near and after his ADP that are much more likely to actually produce. Unless you're in a really deep bench league where you're getting him as like your WR7, there was never really a reason to draft him outside of keeper/dynasty leagues.

I had him go #4 in a full PPR league the other day and when i contacted the guy seeing if he'd consider trading him for anyone, he told me not even if i offered him Julio since AP was his all time favorite. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ On the other hand, he said he'd consider trading Mark Ingram for Rawls and Larry Fitzgerald, would you guys consider this trade? (Fitzgerald is my 4th WR and would only start on bye weeks). Or would it be crazy if i countered with Alshon for Ingram straight up?

Alrighty, League details: 12 teams, 4 keepers a piece, each keeper takes up +1 the spot they were originally drafted, waiver wire keepers take up your bottom round selection, league is scored head-to-head Roster positions: QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/R/T, W/R/T, K, DEF, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN I'm inheriting a fairly bad team that ended up taking last place (so I'll be first pick) with this team (sorted by expected performance), Cam Newton (Car - QB) (drafted in round 7) John Brown (Ari - WR) (drafted in round 9) Vincent Jackson (TB - WR) (drafted in round 4) DeMarco Murray (Ten - RB) (drafted in round 1) Mark Ingram (NO - RB) (drafted in round 2) Greg Olsen (Car - TE) (drafted in round 5) Terrance Williams (Dal - WR) (drafted in round 12) Dwayne Harris (NYG - WR) (waiver wire) Charles Clay (Buf - TE) (waiver wire) Tre Mason (LA - RB) (drafted in round 8) Philip Rivers (SD - QB) (drafted in round 11) Ryan Mathews (Phi - RB) (drafted in round 6) Andre Williams (NYG - RB) (drafted in round 10) Rashad Jennings (NYG - RB) (waiver wire) Sebastian Janikowski (Oak - K) (waiver wire) Baltimore (Bal - DEF) (drafted in round 15) The only players here that seem worth keeping are Cam (I think he's going to do well this year and is great value for a sixth round pick) and John Brown. I'm wondering if there might be something I'm missing, especially since I'll be playing against fairly stacked teams that are going to be snapping up a lot of high value players as keepers.

Newton, Ingram, Mathews and Brown/Olsen. Well at leafy Least get you a couple guys at value, on second thought first overall means you shouldn't keep Ingram seeing as you could just draft him if he's best available.

I don't agree with that really. With 4 rounds of keepers gone, Brown will be more like a 9th or 10th. Rashad Jennings for last round is an easy keep. Rivers for a 10th rounder is worth it probably too, even with Cam kept, I think. That's 4 reasonable keepers. Edit: Yeah Mathews for a 5th is also quite good, given how many players are being kept. Jennings and Cam are must haves, then Mathews and one of Brown or Rivers would be my picks. Don't keep Ingram: worst case, every other 1st-4th rounder is kept, and you get Zeke at 1.01, ya know? sourdough fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Aug 30, 2016 |

Rashad Jennings for a round 16 pick isn't unreasonable. He is nominally RB1 in New York and is therefore worth rostering, and his ADP is #76 overall so that's a bargain. Cam is well worth keeping. Rivers in 10th is a cheap backup QB that you won't feel bad about dropping, and it'll be nice going into the draft with both your starter and backup locked up, plus a backup/flexible RB3 in place. I don't mind the John Brown pick and I think Olsen tends to get overshadowed by Gronk but he's a very good TE to own, although 4th round is pushing it a bit for him. Ingram as a 1st round keeper I don't like at all. If you already have Jennings cheap, you need that first round pick to help yourself to a 1st-roundable WR, and a bunch of those are going to be kept by other teams. I think Ingram is sharing the RB role this year as well, with both Spiller and Hightower on the roster, and it's a pass-first offense to boot. Let Ingram go and draft the best WR on the board with your first pick.

Yea if it's 4, i'd defo go Cam, Olsen, and Brown. Though with Rashad Jennings, if he was drafted last season but was dropped mid season and picked up off the waiver, does that reset his keeper value to waiver or does it still count towards his original draft spot? If he wasn't drafted last year then moot point, but i think something to check on?
