RisqueBarber posted:I pick 5th in my league and in a mock draft I took Zek, Aaron Rodgers, Kelce, and then Jordan Reed(flex) in that order (6 PPTD/ 0.5 PPR / 12 Team). Have any of you gone double elite tight end to fill a flex? How did it work out? I did Graham and Gronk a few years ago, and in a single flex league I hated it because of how much it constrains you since you'll always want to fill that slot with your high draft pick.

New page so I'm gonna repost this: I'm looking for players for an all IDP league: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3829406 We've got 5 people so far and I have three IRL friends to take up slots if we need it. This will be the fourth year for this league (in concept) and it's been a lot of fun. I am hoping for at least 12 folks like last year, but 14 would be ideal. Who doesn't love defense? Great players can have great games even if the team ends up giving up points, and this format lets you enjoy that!

So which QBs should I be targeting if I don't want to blow a chunk of my budget on one? Cousins? Winston?

pubic works project posted:So which QBs should I be targeting if I don't want to blow a chunk of my budget on one? Cousins? Winston? Have a large tier-B list, and wait for one to go for a steal. Never fails. Here, let's make and debate one: Possible qb steals in auction: Winston Mariota Cousins Carr Tyrod Rivers Brothless Burger Prescott? That's 8 + 5 top tier qbs. If your league is 12 or fewer, that should be enough. If it's 14 or more, just be sure to throw out a $2 qb or two early that's not on this list (like Newton or Stafford) and it should block up nicely. NOTE: This is assuming you meant a 1 qb league... did you? Drunk Nerds fucked around with this message at 21:38 on Aug 8, 2017 |

I've been leaning Winston/Cousins/Carr. Winston has thrown over 4,000 yards both years he's been in the league. But he's also thrown a ton of picks. Cousins has done the same with less picks.

Some combination of two of Rivers/Winston/Tygod/Mariota will be on 100% of my rosters, especially with Taylor now having Boldin.

All it takes is for one other bidder to want winston, one other to want carr, and one more to want cousins, and suddenly none of those are going for a steal.

So if those are the tier B guys, who are the tier A guys? Here going by FantasyPros ADP we have: Rodgers Brady Brees Ryan Luck Wilson Carr... so with Carr on Drunk Nerd's B-tier list, that implies everyone above Carr is Tier A, and we can fill out the Tier B guys who could be "steals": Newton Stafford Manning Dalton Wentz Palmer Watson Smith Bortles Flacco Bradford ... Of those, I'd say Stafford could be fine, Manning is a high-upside pick and especially attractive if your league doesn't heavily penalize interceptions, Palmer is potentially a steal, and I'm suddenly wondering about dark horse candidate Jay Cutler.

I don't feel like you're likely to get Winston, Mariota or Carr for cheap. They seem to be fairly hot picks now. I think all the guys hovering around the 14th off the board are pretty reasonable QBs. I wouldn't want to drop lower than that though.

Honestly, just take whoever is left. One of those A tier guys will be a steal and about five of those B tier guys will be under $5

Mine is Rivers, dude is always drafted right outside the top 12 QB's and consistently puts up 4000 yards and 30 TDs even when half his offense dies from injuries.

I think Parker is the better receiver for Cutler and he's going to have a huge year. Ajay will be good and Landry will be the usual PPR guy.

Cutler has a cannon arm and Stills is the deep-ball ninja, sounds like a good match to me. Just be wary of Cutler himself in -2 INT leagues.

Vegas odds do not reflect who is more likely to win, they are set in the interest of getting equal action on both sides. It is more a reflection on the perception of the odds. An oddsmaker may set the line for a Cowboys game at -8 in Dallas, even though the true line should be -6, simply due to the fact that more people are going to bet on the Cowboys. Public perception plays a huge role in oddsmaking.

RVProfootballer posted:Last year Reed put up 11.3 points a game in half PPR (and only once in his career, 2015, had higher ppg), while also missing time and being a good bet to miss time again this year. That put him in the low WR2 range in terms of scoring. If guys like Diggs, Tate, or Edelman were still available, I think you did poorly taking Reed over them. Going back to this, why the hate for Rodgers in the second? I'm in a 6 PT passing td and -3 interception league. Below is my beersheet and Rodgers has the clear value to me. Who would you take? (Green is my selections and red are players already drafted)

I guess I didn't think the -3 int was such a big deal. I only mentioned the 6 point passing touchdown in my original post. What's the norm -2? edit: The beersheet I'm using is actually using -2 interception values so I guess Rodger's value should be even higher. Matt Zerella posted:Players on bad teams, even with bad QBs, can be useful in fantasy football. I agree, I had Carlos Hyde last year who was great until his injury.

Public perception plays a huge role in oddsmaking. Eh, I don't think this has been really true in some time. Vegas would love 50/50 action every game but doing that in practice is impossible. Their best long term return is in setting as accurate lines as possible to keep sharps from manipulating the lines and putting them in positions to lose money. Im sure public perception plays a part in their formula but they do have a vested interest in being extremely accurate.

I'm seeing a lot of panic on Cam Newton this year, is there any truth behind it? I don't need him to carry my team but I have him for a cheap price, and while I could move him, it would take a substantial amount of my team salary cap to do so, I'm in a "must win" year (due to expiring player contracts) with a roster of the following going into free agent auction/rookie draft. Newton Lamar Miller Julio Jones Michael Thomas TY Hilton Corey Coleman Without getting into huge details, I could trade Cam for Aaron Rodgers, but huge salary differene of $17 for Cam, and $50 for Rodgers, which would leave me only about $20-25 max bid to try and get a second RB and then fill in with cheap nobodies for rest of roster. We start 2 wr, 2 RB, 1 te and a flex Sorry for the novel, but really is Rodgers such a huge upgrade that it'd be worth essentially having below average dudes at rb2 and TE1?
