There was one person in the draft that grabbed Brady, Rodgers, and Brees as 3 of their first 4 picks so that kind of screwed me on QBs.

Wow someone did the same thing in my league. AB first then Rodgers Brady Brees.

Hey guys! I'm having a good time, what about you?

I could use some extra keeper opinions.

10 team league, .5 PPR. I am already keeping David Johnson and need one more.

I'm loving the Zeke suspension. But it hurts me fantasy wise. That just means someone I want could be taken earlier.

There was an article at Rotoviz that looked at careers of suspended players, and based on the study, if a player is suspended, they is a 50% chance they never step foot on the field again. I need to find that link.

Also, https://twitter.com/cole_kev/status/896020608869388290

That stat is such bullshit. I bet you 48% of those guys are late round/UDFA who probably were never gonna play again.

A blanket number like that lacks context, invalidating the authors credibility.

JMatt headed to the Bills with a third round pick for Ron Darby. Should be seeing an efficiency boost for ol Tyrod this season with the addition of quality slot options.

E: whoa and they dealt Sammy Watkins to the Rams.

The Buffalo Bills have decided Jordan Matthews is a better receiving option than Sammy Watkins. Obviously, the Bills have never had JMatt on their fantasy roster. :v:

I'd probably keep Coleman if you only get to keep one more. All of them are worth it in my opinion, but Coleman is a stud.

Be fair now. The elite Tavon Austin will draw double if not triple coverage leaving Watkins wide open.

They have Robert Woods (also from Buffalo!) so Tavon might actually look passable

I see it as:
Watkins - decent downgrade, probably move him back 5-10 WR slots to the Davante Adams/Tyreek Hill range
Every other Rams WR - lol dont bother (even Kupp)
Tyrod - probably a push. Zay Jones, Anquan Boldin and Jordan Matthews at least more reliably available than Watkins
Goff - still trash, don't bother
Zay Jones - decent upgrade, probably ~WR45 now
Jordan Matthews - probably ~WR35 now (Decker/Garcon/D-Jax territory), it'll be a coinflip which one will be WR1 at season's end (it'll be Matthews for now) and both are dart throws.
Boldin - probably around WR50ish now. He'll be more an annoyance than useful but will turn around and at the end of the year have 8 TDs and 400 yards.

lol I literally forgot about the eagles part of it

It means good things for Torrey Smith like he will still be gainfully employed, but not relevant. I guess Agholor gets a bump but Alshon is gonna get so many goddamn targets he's gonna vomit all over the fuckin field.

McCoy no real change, I would gather. They were gonna be run first anyway.

Gurley gets less men in the box because there's an actual real WR on the field on top of Woods and Tavon, and I guess I kinda like him at his ADP now with the upgraded line and a field stretcher.

I'd consider Matthews, he has some decent upside for the tail end of the draft. I'm probably not drafting Watkins unless he falls a long way.

I got rid of all my JMatt shares, but I bought low on Watkins in dynasty last year in one league and this has me hesitant. It doesn't bode well.

Doesn't change much. He was either getting tagged or moving next year anyway, that hasn't changed. One run heavy offense to another. Biggest issue is keeping healthy, not his supporting cast.

Gurley's problem is Goff and a poo poo O-Line, not the receivers. Defenses can still stack the box.

Agree that Alshon and Ertz might get a handful of extra red zone targets each.
