Teemu Pokemon posted:Considering that he's currently running ahead of him in the offense, looks to have built a rapport with Tannehill, and was hand-picked as the WR2 by a new coach who had previously wanted his old team to trade for him multiple times in the past, I wouldn't call this bold, so much as no one is paying attention. One would think, but 96% of the analysts on fantasypros have Parker over Stills. This prediction runs counter to the prevailing "expert" opinion as much as pretty much anything.

Forever_Peace posted:3. Derrick Henry will have more touchdowns and a higher yards per carry than DeMarco, and will be the starter by the end of the season. Are there people who don't think this? Forever_Peace posted:4. Thomas Rawls will gain 1,000 yards from scrimmage. Long as he doesn't get hurt. I got spooked on the Seahawks taking that many RB's in the draft. Feels like a Lamar Miller in Miami situation waiting to happen. Forever_Peace posted:7. Larry Fitzgerald is once again being underdrafted (i.e. will finish better than WR27 in ppr) .  Forever_Peace posted:13. Matthew Stafford (QB 17 ADP) and Jay Cutler (QB 28 ADP) are the two quarterbacks that beat their draft position by the biggest margin. Marvin Jones will finish top 10 WR to go with Stafford beating his own ADP.

Well, FBG's most recent mailer made the same points I did and said that Stills is an excellent late round target, so maybe you're reading the wrong site  e: I also think it's not uncommon in these situations for experts to tout the younger player as the better bet than the polished veteran that's running ahead of and outperforming them because of things that our own resident expert Spoeank has said in this very thread about prognostication vs. actually helping us lessers. It would behoove them to make hedged predictions like that so that they can go "hey look I told you so  " and if they're wrong they can play it off as "oh guess he just wasn't ready, but this is totally the year guys!!!"

I'm sure this has been asked before but my Google-fu is weak and I'm not able to find anything... I'm looking for a site that will let me put together a league where owners can all use the same players. That way, people are forced to evaluate their roster on a week-to-week basis and aren't locked into hoping some third string RB for the Dolphins will get them 20 points on MNF. If everybody wants to start Tom Brady, that's fine. It comes down to paying attention to the larger team picture and not having to worry about being high enough in the draft to pick the players that will dominate the entire season. Does anybody know of a site that offers a system like this?

At first that sounds like daily fantasy, but I'm not sure if those sites allow for a "league" that tracks win/losses over the season. If nothing else, you can probably arrange a head to head schedule in excel and get all of your friends to match up against each other in free games created at Fanduel/Draftkings.

Cooks finished the season last year on a huge tear after a slow start, and is the #13 ranked WR by FantasyPros, and a top 30 pick by ADP. He's a huge dynasty darling as well - a consensus 2nd round startup pick. Also, to the other guy, just ignore bye weeks. Don't get cute by trying to trade players for bye week reasons.

Just my personal observation of where he stands (from a newsworthy POV) against other players in his tier, and I haven't really observed much Cooks discussion going on in my usual media outlets. He's kinda sleeping from a news perspective whereas other guys like Amari, Evans and Landry seem to be getting most of the WR2 airtime. I like the guy and have him in both keeper, and redraft, I just don't think I will be able to get what I want for him until/unless he starts the season hot. To answer the guy's question, these are above Cooks: Jeffery, Jordy, Keenan, Evans, DT, and these are below Cooks: TY, Amari, Watkins, Landry, Cobb, Maclin, Tate in .5 ppr Beersheets.

I'd agree that he's one of the more 'unsexy' names of that tier, which impacts his trade value for sure.

I'm playing in a 12-person 0PPR league and I've got a feeling that Virgil Green in Denver might be a decent sleeper pickup (I have Gronk at TE but could use a Flex). My current backup TE is Charles Clay. Which of my last three picks is the best option to drop if I wanted to get Green? Charles Clay Kenny Stills Tim Hightower

Yes you can! On our Create Sport Form check the box that says "Build a team each week" and "Manage Budget". In this type of league you give each player a price, a team budget, and the maximum number of players for the lineup. This might work. Will have to look.

In ESPN, how do I set which players make it to the playoffs? I run a 12-team league with 2 divisions and I want the division champions + next 4 best records to make it in, with the division champions getting the first round bye. It's set to 6 players making it to playoffs now, does it default to division champs + 4, or top 2 from each divisions + 2?

It's probably not going to do it right, but that's OK because you can manually set up the entire championship bracket yourself. Wait till your regular season is done and then just edit the postseason yourself and put the teams and brackets how you want them.

Spoiler alert: Your roster is going to look drastically different in Week 5 from what it is now. Worry about bye weeks when you actually get to them. Trying to "plan ahead" just leads to overthinking and poor decisions.
