I'd like some advice on my keepers. The league is 10 teams, 0.5 PPR. Roster is QB, WR, WR, TE, RB, RB, flex, K, DEF, six bench slots. I'm drafting #9 in a snake draft. We get two keepers, price is previous year's draft round minus one, or round 15 for guys acquired off waivers. My lock is Le'Veon Bell, for the price of my first round pick (was lucky enough to get him in round 2 last year because of the suspension). For the other, I'm considering these guys (pick cost in brackets): Derek Carr (11) Marcus Mariota (12) Justin Tucker (13) Ty Williams (15) Thomas Rawls (9) Greg Olsen (3) I really like Mariota in round 12, and think Carr would be fine in 11 but like him less. Both guys seem better than other QBs to be had in those rounds, but QB looks stacked this year. I also kind of like Tucker, after seeing him go as high as round 9 in a few mock drafts. For reference, I want to spend less time managing my team / streaming this year. Is Williams worth a flier with Keenan Allen / Travis Benjamin back to full? Can Rawls beat out Lacey for carries? Is round 3 too high for Olsen, as good as he is? So many questions.

Tyrell in the 15th looks pretty tasty.

I can see platooning two late round QBs, or pairing a late rounder with Luck. But you don't need one when you have Brady. I just don't get it.

I'm just going to roll with Wentz until either someone new pops up or I can find a great deal.

This year like I said previously took Luck in 8th and Tyrod in 15th (since I might need a week 1, 2, 3,...16 starter). Except everyone is telling me Tyrod will be garbage which I don't fully believe (yet). Cutler... Siemian,and Bradford are all on the wire. Any of those a better option since it looks like I'll have to play my QB2?

Luck should be back by then, and that is a not too bad start to the season. Edit: Not to mention Diggs is still healthy and he is a really good WR when not injured.

Hahahah in one league I'm in someone just dropped Danny Woodhead for Blake Bortles. I keep googling to see if I missed a story about him getting shot or something. Even still I'd rather have him than Bortles

I'd challenge that keeping Tyrell Williams as a 15th rounder is gaining value seeing as his adp is around the 9th/10th round. If Keenan Allen gets hurt again which is very possible, his value would more than double, possibly even triple as he ended last season as a high end WR2.

Rob Kelly and Perine are gonna be in this weird time share bullshit and the Redskins are gonna flip from one to the other every other week because the Redskins are incompetent. The worry with Blount is that the 30+ year old didn't look good in a couple of preseason games that are preseason and preseason and don't count for anything and he doesn't have anything to prove please get the Eagles through one more stupid loving preseason game without anybody getting injured. Eagles have one of the best o-lines in the league and Blount makes dudes hang off him as he makes 10 yard gains. He ain't that special. But he's this year's Frank Gore.

pubic works project posted:What's everyone's thoughts on Carson Wentz? I got stuck with him in my work league and I'm just wary on relying on him. This is more real life than fantasy, but people seem to have lost perspective on Wentz. He was a rookie last year and played college at North Dakota State. The expectation coming in was that he was going to sit for a year. I mean, it was a complete shock when he was named the starter and at the time I thought it was a horrible decision. I think we've been spoiled by a handful of historic rookie QB seasons over the last few years. Cam in 2011, then Russ, Luck, and RGII in 2012, and last year Dak, really skew our expectations. Most rookie QBs are dreadful. Mediocre with flashes of greatness is usually the best you can hope for, and I think that's what Wentz was last year, and given that he wasn't even supposed to be the starter, that's pretty good. The offense should be a lot better with actual NFL caliber WRs on the roster too. But that's all real NLF stuff. In fantasy, man, that's a bad draw. I wouldn't be surprised if Wentz makes a leap this year, but even that's only going to make him borderline fantasy relevant. The Eagles D is probably too good for Bortles garbage time style relevance. It just takes so much to be fantasy relevant. Derek Carr is a fringe fantasy starter and he was an MVP candidate.

My league has a keeper rule that allows you to keep a player for one round earlier than he was drafted the previous year. If you're prepared to carry an injured player on your list all year (we even have an IR slot) you can keep a player even if he never hit the field. One guy in our league secured Jordy Nelson for a 13th Round Pick two years ago and has basically locked himself into the championship for as long as he can keep him. Are there any players this year with long term injuries/on the Injured Reserve list that I can target late in the draft for some mega value the following year?

You can be my spirit animal. 14 team auction this weekend, everyone not only drafted but overpaid for 2 QBs. There's one guy with Tyrod, Wilson and Palmer. Another who spent $50 on Luck and Ryan. Brees and Stafford. None of them beat the guy who drafted Kizer, Watson, and Manning. I wound up Wentz as well. At least I beat the guy who'll be trotting out McCown.

This year my league expanded to 12 teams and I am not super sure about my draft, I had the 10th pick. We're .5 ppr but otherwise a pretty standard league. Please rate my draft: 1. Jordy Nelson 2. DeMarco Murray 3. Aaron Rodgers 4. Spencer Ware 5. Emmanuel Sanders 6. Derrick Henry 7. Jeremy Maclin 8. Kareem Hunt 9. Corey Coleman 10. Thomas Rawls 11. Kenny Golladay 12. Jamaal Charles 13. Charles Sims 14. Buccaneers DST 15. Allen Hurns 16. Nick Folk Also I will probably drop Allen Hurns for a TE since I forgot to draft one, unless someone else is more droppable?

Agreed on Hurns. I'm not loving that draft. That's a lot of early picks on handcuffs.

Ben Nevis posted:Agreed on Hurns. I've definitely felt really lost this year, and I really did not like my draft position of 10 out of 12. For pretty much every pick I felt like I was forced to reach or go with a guy I don't trust. My biggest regret is Spencer Ware, I immediately regretted not going for another WR with that pick. I try to justify Henry and Hunt with the thought that they're not exactly handcuffs so much as the guys who will probably(hopefully) win the bell cow position by the end of the season, but they could drag out the competition all season and then I'm in a lovely position.

Hey, just a reminder: If you're doing an irl auction this year, and you have an auctioneer, you're doing it wrong. IRL auctions are literally the greatest part of human achievement. They combine our greatest feat: Mathematics, with our second greatest feat: Aggressively yelling to get our way. But most still have someone reading each player then saying "going once, going twice... oh wait here's another bid... going once... twice... oh wait more bids..." You would be shocked at how much this extends an auction, usually it's by about 40%, or 1-2 hours, just having some guy say those words 500 times in an afternoon. Instead, try this: Sit around a table, or just generally in a loose circle. Go around taking turns bidding or passing. If you pass once, you can't bid again on that player. When everyone has passed except one person, they get the player. We switched to this about 13 years ago at the fervent insistence of our league's longest-time auction veteran. I was SHOCKED at how much more fun auctions became. The tempo is much less grating. Plus it means that each round of bidding ends up with just two owners left, angrily glaring at each other and dropping mad emotional trash talk.

I'm not feeling great about my draft in my 12 team, 0.5 PPR league. Like I don't think there's anything egregiously wrong with it, but I can't help feeling disappointed. Yahoo giving my draft a D didn't help! I had pick 8. QB: Dalton (12) WR: Evans (1), Michael Thomas (2), Diggs (8), Fitzgerald (6), Garcon (11) RB: Lynch (3), Cook (4), Ingram (5), Powell (7), Terrance West (10), Jamaal Williams (15) TE: Ebron (9) D: Philadelphia (14) K: Prater (13) Can you guys give me any suggestions/reassurances?
