Eh, maybe a bit conservative in choice of targets, but not extraordinarily, and not extraordinarily conservative overall. 45 attempts for a 16 game season would put him at 720 on the year and would've been the most by far last year. His completion percentage wasn't great, but his yards per completion was still within multiple game averages from multiple teams last year, despite being a bit low when looking at team's season-long stats.

Well this week made me extra glad I handcuffed Charles with Ware (this league drafted well before the "lol btw charles isn't actually ready at all" news hit). Now I just hope the backfield doesn't become an unusable committee mess when he DOES return. and also glad that I vultured Ware from the Charles owner in another league. The news WAS out by then so idk how he let Ware fall to the 9th in a 12 teamer. Best part is I played against him this week and am on pace to win by 50.

Dez dropped his touchdown pass, but it was off (rare) good coverage by Landon Collins. Zeke might have been a bit overdrafted, though. That Giants front-four was hemming him up good.

Still early days, but there is a not insignificant chance that Zeke and Freeman (lol) are the early-round RB flops this year. David Johnson and Lamar Miller looked every bit the 1st round talent they were drafted to be. Excited for both - sad I don't have any shares of either.

As someone who invested heavily in Keenan Allen and Demaryius Thomas I have never been happier that my league decided to stick with resetting waivers every week. Gonna grab no 3 waiver and pray.

Keenan Allen was my first round pick and he died. This is a cruel game. I still have Antonio Brown and Mike Evans, but I'm hurting at flex now. I'm gonna need to roll with somebody like Will Fuller or Mike Wallace the next few weeks. I do however have the #1 waiver claim, so if that's worth burning on anybody this week please do tell.

Still haven't done the full research, but if something crazy like Willie Snead (available in 20% of Yahoo leagues) or Tajae Sharpe (available in 54%) is out there they are absolute locks for a #1 ww claim. Would probably consider the #1 for Abdullah (25%) or Coleman (58%) if I was desperate for RB help.

This is my first time playing FF, was hoping I could get some advice/input on my roster since I'm obviously not getting any from the other people in my league. My lineup this week was: QB: Russell Wilson RB: Adrian Peterson RB: Spencer Ware WR: Allen Robinson WR: Aishon Jeffery TE: Delanie Walker FLEX: Donte Montcrief FLEX: DeSean Jackson D/ST: Packers K: Roberto Aguayo Bench: Jamaal Charles RB Stephen Gostkowski K Ameer Abdullah RB Phillip Rivers QB Jerick McKinnon RB Jets D/ST Antonio Gates TE Having never done this and being only a casual follower of football up to now, I mainly made my choices based on ESPN's projected points. But I hate losing things, so I want to get better and deepen my understanding. First, I guess was there any way I could/should have known about how much better the Jets would perform over the Packers D? Or that Peterson would get shut down so much? I don't feel bad about playing Wilson, I feel like that was a luck of the draw, couldn't be known ahead of time thing, but I'm kicking myself over the Defense choice and not playing Ameer Abdullah or Gostkowski (who was projected at a point less than Aguayo). I'm also thinking about putting Jamaal Charles in my IR slot right now, and picking up Tajae Sharp, given that he's available and got more attention than people thought he would? I'm currently 7/8 on our waiver wire, as I picked up Ware last week. Thoughts? Thanks for any advice! Riven fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Sep 12, 2016 |

Riven posted:Thoughts? Thanks for any advice! Always post your scoring settings when you want advice. AP is a boom/bust runner, this is just what he does. Drop Aguayo, the Packers (Jets play Thursday against the Bills with an injured Sammie), and probably Gates (unless nearly everybody is rostering 2 TEs in your league) for WW dudes. Sharpe in a heartbeat. Use fantasypros for starts (or SA), not ESPN projections.

As right as it might feel, you shouldn't roster backups for your kickers and Defense (or TE's and QB's if you really want to play), Focus on RB's and WR's, and drop the worst during QB bye week, etc...

With week 1 almost completely in the books, I have to say I like my dynasty league's positional scoring of: TE = 1 ppr, RB = .75, and WR = .5. It might net me a loss with my opponent still having Jordan Reed to go and only 20 points to catch me, but it's a fun scoring system.

Riven posted:This is my first time playing FF, was hoping I could get some advice/input on my roster since I'm obviously not getting any from the other people in my league. First off, I think your team looks pretty good for a person who's in their first FF league, so good job there! Like Forever_Peace and TUS said, it's better to focus your time and attention on acquiring good RBs and WRs. You don't really need a backup TE, QB, K, or Def until you do, and there's always going to be serviceable options in the free agency for those. RBs and WRs, or at least talented/highly productive ones, will be harder to come by, so having more of them increases your chances. Also this: don't overthink the kicker, and certainly don't blame yourself for failing to start the one that got more points. That will keep happening no matter how good you get. I mean, you could try to pick up a kicker on a team with a matchup that will be conducive to that team being forced to kick a lot of field goals, but I think you'll find that it's pretty much a crapshoot across the board with very few exceptions. Again, focus your research time and efforts to uncovering the sleeper RBs and WRs and you'll be happier overall.

timp posted:First off, I think your team looks pretty good for a person who's in their first FF league, so good job there! Agree that your team actually looks quite good. On the kicker: Gostkowski is the best K in the league and you should just start him every single week. So yeah, don't bother carrying a second kicker except during his bye week (he's one of the very few kickers I wouldn't just outright drop for his bye). And yes, it's a very random and annoying position that you shouldn't worry about much. Don't overthink Peterson. He's one of the greatest RB's of a generation, but sometimes people just have bad games. His upside is infinite, there's really no matchup or situation where he ever comes out of your lineup unless he's obviously playing VERY injured.

I could use some trade help. Half point PPR My RBs: David Johnson Lesean McCoy Spencer Ware Ameer Abdullah Danny Woodhead Tevin Coleman Johnathan Stewart I'd like to sell high on Ware before JC comes back, if possible. Woodhead and Coleman will probably frustrate me as I decide who to play each week and are two more candidates to sell high, or should I stand pat with them and move others? Which WRs would be best to target? One owner has already expressed interest in doing a RB/WR swap. He has AJ Green, TY Hilton, Doug Baldwin, and Travis Benjamin.

I'm just going to rage-drop Fleener and stream TEs the rest of the way. A pox on the whole position. (In my defense, it's an autodraft team. I would never voluntarily draft Coby Fleener otherwise.)

If Watkins really is out for a significant period of time, maybe Charles Clay is an answer for 0TE people. Or maybe that idea is just as good as my Clive Walford, Martellus Bennett, and Jared Cook ideas.

Not exactly hurting at WR (played him/AJ Green/Cooks), but I also have Fitzgerald on my bench and he looked sicknasty last night. Fitz missed him twice in the endzone, and he dropped what would have been a decent ~20 yard gain at the end of the game. Maybe just rust from Fitzmagic sitting out the whole drat offseason playing salary hardball? Anyway no reason to panic on BMarsh yet. I actually also him and Larry Fitz and it's gonna be interesting to decide between them next week.
