My mistake, yeah they're right. I think we bitched about it in 2013 and then they fixed it the next year? Maybe. Last year the only Yahoo league I was in, was the all-IDP league. IDP is superior anyway, everyone should do that and then this won't matter. Also if this is your only beef with ESPN, don't go to Yahoo, because Yahoo's interface is infuriating to work with.

Just ended up going way too RB heavy in the draft I just did. 10 teams 1 ppr QB: Tyrod Taylor WR: AJ Green, Jordy Nelson, Golden Tate, Donte Moncrief, Vincent Jackson RB: Adrian Peterson, Jamaal Charles, Danny Woodhead, Gio Bernard, Arian Foster, Spencer Ware, Christine Michael TE: Gary Barnidge Posting because I need to drop a dude for a kicker - I feel like CMike is more likely to be a long-term value (I know, I know), but can I afford to ditch Ware after taking Charles so high? Or should I just stop chasing the ghost of The Year Christine Michael Puts It All Together

Woodhead is ahead of Christine Michael for PPR, right? Maybe even Ware for the beginning of the season. Speaking of Ware, does Charles not starting mean that he's not playing at all?

RBX posted:I'd drop woodhead. They're down on him and he's not the starter from what I've seen. This is bad advice here, do not drop Woodhead, especially in a full PPR league. By all means he wasn't the starter last year either and he still ended up as the overall RB#3 only behind Freeman and AP in full ppr.

OxySnake posted:Also this. In a full PPR league Woodhead will probably finish as a RB1. Now we've got Gordon looking significantly improved in the preseason, even popping off some long touchdown runs. Wouldn't be surprised to see the touch distribution favor him again and him doing more with it than last year. I'm a lot iffier on Woodhead cause then his value is largely tied to his red zone usage and I don't feel nearly as good about how many targets he'll see there as this same time last year.

I had talked myself into drafting Rawls as a contingency 3rd round RB if there was a run on RBs, but Mark Ingram somehow fell to me. I still believe Rawls will become the man in Seattle, but I'm very happy I avoided this situation now. Still hard for me to believe that Michael will actually prove to be a legit threat to Rawls. He's been hyped for years and has been unable to even get snaps on multiple teams now. Rawls was amazing last year and he looked fine this preseason.

I have a strategy/philosophy question for you guys. I'm in an IDP league and I'm considering rostering an additional four players at the skill positions through the first week of the season, even if it means not filling a starting lineup week one. It feels like having those additional four players on my bench means that I have four more lottery tickets that I don't have to lose out to in free agency and I can field a stronger team from week two onward. Of course, intentionally shorting myself around 20 points to start the season seems stupid but I'm trying to think long term here. Does anyone pull this strategy off with any degree of success?

Give us the top lotto tickets you're looking at, first, and second, don't do this strategy, just stash who you can fit but fill out your starters.

I'm in a dumb 8 man league and ended up with a ton of WRs. Really just hoping to nab a back through FA during the season, but I'm thinking about seeing if the Bell owner would give him up. My WRs: Brown, Hopkins, Cooper, Watkins, Maclin His RBs: Zeke, Bell, Hyde, Miller, Abdullah His WRs: Edelman, Hurns, Wheaton, Moncrief I've got Alfred Morris. Do I try and package him and Hopkins or Cooper for Bell and see if he'll go for it? If he did, I'd have the Steeler triplets. Edit: poo poo I'm playing him this week, I might have to wait a week and let him feel the pain of having no receivers while I pray Spencer Ware has a good day.

I might as well burn my house down and live in a storm drain while I'm at it then, huh? Here's MAH BENCH: Bernard/Shepard/J Gordon/Em. Sanders/Henry/Funchess/T Coleman/Stafford/Cook/Sharpe/De. Washington/Fuller 12-team, if I were to fill my starting lineup I'd need to drop 4.

Fuller, Coleman, and Cook are all pretty easy drops and not worth keeping at the expense of setting a full lineup. Stafford might be a cut depending on who you're starting at QB (Rodgers/Wilson/Cam/probably Luck don't really need backups) I'd also try to see if there's someone in your league that still believes in any Bronco that isn't DT and try to flip Sanders+someone else for an upgrade before you go cutting people Teemu Pokemon fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Sep 7, 2016 |

Henry, Coleman, Washington and Fuller likely won't give you any more clarity after one week. Not saying to drop them but there's a hole in your plan. Actually I am saying drop Fuller. Forget anything else, do you want Brock Osweiler's #2 receiver

wattershed posted:I might as well burn my house down and live in a storm drain while I'm at it then, huh? Just to give one more opinion, I'd easily cut Fuller, Cook, Sharpe, and Coleman, in that order. Despite the Sharpe love here, I think the odds of him doing anything for you is very small when your bench has Gordon, Sanders, Shepard, and Funchess. If your QB1 is great and/or the wire has a few decent options, drop Stafford and hold your favorite of Sharpe or Coleman. I wouldn't cut Henry because he might have flex value even with no injury to Murray and should be a monster if anything happens to Murray. Also Washington is ok to cut if you really like Sharpe or Coleman more than him, but he's another with potential stand alone flex value if he really grabs hold of a 3rd down role plus occasional mixing in on earlier downs.

To get my Lunardi on, I've been leaning Coleman, Cook, Washington, Fuller as the first four out. Bort's qb1 so I like the insurance of Stafford, and I have Olsen which makes Cook expendable.

Drunk Nerds posted:Especially happy with how this article turned out This is a cool and good article, with extra points given for a single page option. My UMass heritage requires that I love Mr Tajae Sharp unconditionally, why must you make my heart hurt? My brain knows you're right though. He's a good talent in a bad situation, and way over hyped. I'm still gonna reach for him though, because fantasy is a game of the heart, and the heart wants what the heart wants. Also because I'm bad at fantasy football.

Speaking of Sharpe, I'm holding him and Devante Parker but thinking about making a move because there seem to be some egregiously undervalued players left on the wire. Would you guys drop Lord Sharpe or Parker for one of these dudes: Markus Wheaton Mike Wallace Kenny Stills Pierre Garcon Deandre Washington Alfred Morris Tevin Coleman I'm thinking about holding Parker to see what he does once he actually gets on the field, but dropping Sharpe for Wheaton or Wallace. I've got a hunch that both of those dudes will be solid this year. That being said, I'm relatively strong at WR (Julio, K. Allen, Edelman are my other three) and I feel kind of weak at RB (Gurley, Ware, Gore, Abdullah) so maybe a lottery ticket like Washington is the right play? E: Rishard Matthews, Jamison Crowder and Theo Riddick are also hanging out on waivers. Mikey Purp fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Sep 7, 2016 |

Would you guys drop Lord Sharpe or Parker for one of these dudes: Yes No Yes Maybe Maybe No Maybe Maybe I'm low on Wallace, but I don't really expect much there. Garcon only if you need some sort of regular but unspectacular WR production. Stills seems to me to have the role locked down in Miami at the moment. Washington and Coleman both strike me as handcuffs that'll probably have some more regular playtime. Barring injury I'm not sure either will be a regular producer, but both I could see having value. Morris seems like a TD vulture at best unless Zeke gets hurt.
