There's a rate your team thread, but since you already posted this here I'll comment.

You have the top rated QB in the league. There was no reason for you to draft another QB. That roster spot should be used on RB/WR depth. In your case, running back depth. After going WR/WR, you should have focused more on bolstering RB depth instead of the multiple WR's you took in the middle rounds. Overall the team is solid. I especially like being able to roll out Green and Robinson every week. Focus on getting some solid RB backups. Maybe package Winston and a WR in a deal for one.


On another note, this Charles news sucks. He better return to form soon or my 2nd round pick is going to look real bad.

There was just no RB I was thrilled to take when I grabbed Winston...

Understandable, but Winston is basically a wasted roster spot now. You will never start him over Cam in any circumstance (barring an injury to Cam obviously). So basically you are down a bench spot an entire year just so you can plug Winston in on Cam's bye week. You'd get a ton more value having any RB/WR lottery ticket in that slot, rather than the extra 5 points or so Winston will get compared to whatever waiver wire QB you could have streamed on Cam's bye week.

Yeah I would just drop Jameis and pick up any of the RB fliers mentioned in the last few posts.


E: With the news that ASJ is a huge dummy is it worth dropping him for Vance McBrickhands? .5 ppr dynasty.

You only delay the inevitable. All of this island will soon belong to me.

On the one hand Charles was my second round pick in both my leagues, but on the other I also have Ware in both of them so maybe i should be wholly unconcerned and just play the guessing game of "who's kc's started this week"

or maybe i can just bundle them and ship them off to some RB needy person for some kickass wr

Best five bucks I've ever spend.
Well poo poo, I'm a Charles owner and I'm probably going to be in the woods beginning Friday afternoon, so I'll need to set my team before I leave.

Who the hell should I start between:

Charles, Blount, Foster, Ware, Forsett?

EDIT: Whoops, I totally thought the season started this week, not next week. Looks like I can chill out for a bit and see how the situation develops.

West is 3rd in the KC RB pecking order, so I wouldn't be in a rush to pick him up. That said, I wouldn't want Agholor anywhere near my roster.

Who else is available on waivers?

I wouldn't go that far but as an Eagles fan I'd want the following players for fantasy: Mathews, Matthews, Ertz, DGB, Bradford as a backup, nobody else, but in order after that:

...then our kicker



....then huff

Its pretty bare. Top names on the flex are Coates, DGB, Paul Perkins, C West, Terrelle Pryor, Davante Adams.

Its a 14 team league with big benches.

I'd take any of those first three over West. Probably Pryor too, if I wanted to maximally buy into preseason hype.

To dumb it down

Strike through means they're being drafted too early.
Underline means they're drafted too late.
Double underline means they're drafted way too late.

Can we discuss who to draft late when planning to stream QB or DST (TE also I guess)? This is something it's hard to find takes on, and I don't pay enough attention to know matchups going into week 1. If a good season-long option falls I'll take it but I need my emergency streaming picks.

How about Stafford? @indy and Titans first 2 weeks seems alright but he might have been drafted

Derek Carr is playing NO week 1. Id stream against that defense every week if I could.

Edit: Also check out yhe fantasyfootballers podcast. They usually do a show where they list 3ish QBs to stream that week if thats your strategy.

Matty Snapbacks is in fact the correct answer. He's a mid-QB2 by ADP so he may be around.

Also he's gonna be a QB1 #comeatme

I'm still catching up. Did they do this for week 1 already? Lots of people give streaming picks in-season, it just seems that week 1 is often overlooked. Granted, it's harder to predict, but in general I think early season strength of schedule could be taken into account more when drafting. If I had the time to really pore over my own rankings, I'd bump up someone at any position who may be a likely sell high candidate in say week 4.

I like the Carr suggestion. Stafford too.

Defense picks are a little easier since as a relatively casual fantasy player I have a better sense of opposing offenses than I do of opposing defenses. Targetting CLE and SF makes the most sense, and they play PHI and LA first, respectively. So I'm putting them on my watch list.

If you want something longer term, fantasy pros has a really nice QB by committee tool: https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/qb-by-committee.php . Not streaming each week exactly, but you can check out targets for different stretches of the season easily that way, and plan out who you might keep for a few weeks and when.

The Living The Stream podcast also owns for this. They present streaming options for QB, TE, and DST every week. Usually goes up like Tuesday night so you have time to make a waiver claim.

The hosts are goofy as hell and do a LOT of bullshitting, which I know annoys some people. But I just listen to it on 1.25x speed and laugh my rear end off at them.

You should know your leagues scoring settings and starting roster positions and how many bench slots. Let us know that and we can help with draft strategy. How many teams are there and what position do you draft?

Draft your defense in the 2nd to last round and your kicker in the last round
Know whether you have PPR or not, a 4th round player can be a 6th round player in standard (and vice versa)
Know whether passing TDs are worth 4 or 6 points, that makes a big difference as to when you should select a QB.

Welcome to the unbelievably exciting world of fantasy. For me, it helps to have printed rankings for each position from a site like ESPN, cbssportsline, or NFL.com (make sure you find out if your league is ppr or not and get the corresponding lists.) Remember that rbs get injured, so you'll want to get 1-2 rb bench slots filled before you get a kicker, defense, tight end, and qb(provided your league only has one starting qb slot.)

As was said before; if you give us your league scoring settings and positions we can really tailor a super simple plan for you.

The rest is pretty optional, and the rabbit hole is infinitely deep.

My league is retarded and we must keep 2 D/ST at all times. Ended up with a bench of Corey Coleman, Derrick Henry, Tannehill, & Tyler Eifert.
