Eh, Burkhead might be the guy to own in NE, or Gillislee, or White, or hell maybe Dion Lewis if he can stay healthy.

I'd rather have the "maybe guy to own" in NE then a handcuff on a middling to bad team. That roster spot can be put to good use elsewhere.

CJ Prosise, Rex Burkhead, and Samaje Perine are on the waiver wire in my 2QB league. Should I make any moves? 0.5 PPR, 2QB/2RB/3WR/1FLX/1TE/1DST QB: Rodgers, Luck, Goff RB: Gordon, Abdullah, Ware (RIP), Elliott WR: Jeffery, Diggs, Garcon, Meredith, Marvin Jones, Ginn, Golladay, Hogan TE: Rudolph Should I drop Goff for Cutler? Goff's first opponent is Indianapolis, so I figure he's at least flex worthy if Luck isn't playing. He played like dogshit today but that was without Gurley to make a viable run threat.

Really not sold on Rex. The only thing he does better than any other back on the roster is special-teams play (he led CIN in ST tackles last year). He's not even the best all-rounder (that's Lewis). If the NE backs are all game-plan specific, I really have to squint to see a plan that requires a lot of Rex and very little of the other three. Like, sure, maybe there will be an injury in front of him, but there could be an injury in front of plenty of other guys in the league that wouldn't still be left in a three-headed timeshare afterwards. Wouldn't I prefer one of those? Even in dynasty, Rex is only on a 1-year contract. Who knows what his situation will be next year. I dunno, maybe I'm missing something. Everybody is gaga over this guy and I just don't get it.

That's not a good reason to abandon the best shares of what will be a productive backfield. Burkhead is the best "do everything"-type back they have and he's also performed best in camp through this point. You hang onto him until you see their real gameplans.

I think he'll do good, but lots of guys here are way too high on him imo. Way too crowded for me. VietCampo fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Aug 27, 2017 |

I want guys that I can see a path where I'd be starting him as one of the best 2-3 rbs on my fantasy team in any given week. What's that path for Rex? An injury to Gilly that leaves Rex as a touchdown vulture? A role salting away games trying to grind out time killing first downs? While that might leave him with decent season numbers, it's tough to predict.

I don't think there's a lot of evidence for any of that. Gillislee is likely the best runner and goal line back, White and Lewis are probably better pass catchers. If Burkhead was unambiguously "the best shares," it wouldn't be a discussion. Everyone was (rightfully) super excited about Gillislee in the Blount role, and White has quietly been an excellent PPR back, and Lewis has flashed great three down potential but can't seem to stay healthy. I would not be shocked if any of them ended up leading the backfield in PPR.

I need help picking my keepers (12 teams, 2RB, 2WR, FLX, 0.5PPR). I can pick three and the first two are easy: LeVeon Bell @ $31 Jordy Nelson @ $15 But I'm having some difficulty picking the third. Originally I was set on Gillislee, but after his injury, I'm having second thoughts. They are all basically at (or $1-$2 below) what I'd project them at in a non-keeper league. So none of them are steals. I'm currently leaning Kelce since his production is the least replaceable in a keeper league. Which would you keep? Drew Brees @ $20 Travis Kelce @ $23 Willie Snead @ $12 Mike Gillislee @ $6

Hey folks, I'm in a 10 team, 1QB / 2RB / 2 WR/ 1 TE / 1W/R 0ppr standard scoring league. Issue is I started drinking pretty early (pre-draft even). This is my lineup. QB J. Winston RB D. Johnson, T. Montgomery, M. Ingram, A. Abdullah, M. Gilleslee, A. Peterson, D. Johnson, D. Woodhead WR D. Bryant, T. Hilton, J. Brown, TE Rudolph I'm thinking that I should look for a different QB or new WR (as I'm clearly short there). Looking for any insight. Before we drafted I thought about taking Jacquizz Rodgers but didn't end up doing that. He's still available though.

Winston is fine at QB. Don't worry about rolling him out there every week.

Winston isn't set and forget fine because he could get limited to not throw a gently caress ton of interceptions again but in a ten-teamer that isn't something I'd worry about because I'm sure any two of guys like Stafford, Dalton, Wentz or other fill-in options are literally sitting there on the waiver wire. Your WRs are in desperate need of help though and if the second D. Johnson is Duke Johnson just drop him for whoever is on the wire at WR. Seriously those WRs are dire for a 10-teamer

Spoeank posted:Your WRs are in desperate need of help though and if the second D. Johnson is Duke Johnson just drop him for whoever is on the wire at WR. Yeah it is Duke. The suggested top waivers are (apparently) Tyrell Williams, Kenny Stills, Brandon LaFell, and Sterling Shepard. And two of those QBs are available so I'll look to them if needed.

I got into a situation where people kept drafting rbs ahead of me and there wasn't anyone worth the pick, so now I have poo poo rbs and a bunch of wrs. My starting rbs are Crowell and Powell, starting WRs are jones, cooks, Tate. Cmon Hue make Crowell shiiiine I drafted ware in like the 10th in hopes of his injury only lasting half a year lol Sweeper fucked around with this message at 13:54 on Aug 27, 2017 |

I had a weird draft that all the rate my team things love (99% playoff chance by every football guy on rate my team, top draft by yahoo etc), so I feel like this means my team is going to be bad. My WR are weak, and this is a shallow bench 12 team league so there are still decent players available. Should I drop Jordan Mathews or Marvin Jones for any of these people: Duke Johnson (not an WR obviously, but it feels like someone should have drafted him) John Brown Rishard Matthews Josh Doctson Other people around this tier that I am not thinking of? I only have 3 RB until Elliot is back, but assuming no one gets injured or Mixon is worth at least a flex I will not need one.

So I'm currently in the process of re-inventing "Expected Points Added" from scratch for Ground Control (see here for concept). Just got back the preliminary results. - Guys who really helped their team on the ground last year on a per-play basis: Gillislee, Zeke, Freeman, Bell, Blount, McCoy, Ajayi, Bilal, Latavius Murray, Derrick Henry, Eddie Lacy, Kenneth Dixon, Ingram, Turbin. - Every time James Starks took a handoff last year, the Packers lost the equivalent of a third of a point off their eventual score. For Gurley, each touch was a loss of about a fifth of a point. - Elite Pass-catching backs still tend to be really effective on the ground (Woodhead, Sproles, White). Possible consequence of converting lots of third downs in this case? - Fullbacks make a surprisingly good showing here. Will need to investigate further. - Jamaal Charles is impossible (career EPA is good) Hope to start writing it up soon. Should be exciting. Support vector machines! Neural networks! Random forest regression! Feature engineering! Grid search optimization! A dataset containing every single play in every game since 2009!

I was leaning Brown as well, my main concern is he will not be that consistent since most of the offense flows through the running game now, plus if Palmer gets hurt I don't trust Gabbert to get him the ball. Also, Chris Hogan is there as well, if he is worth getting with Edelman going down

Okay, how's this? 12-team league, 4th pick, 1 PPR QB: Tom Brady (5) RB: Christian McCaffrey (3), Frank Gore (6), Kareem Hunt (7), Duke Johnson (9), Thomas Rawls (13), Rex Burkhead (15) WR: Antonio Brown (1), Doug Baldwin (2), Larry Fitzgerald (4), Kenny Britt (8), Corey Davis (12), Cooper Kupp (16) TE: Eric Ebron (10) IDP: Zach Brown (11) D/ST: LA Rams (14) K: TBD I'm feeling a little anxious about Ebron; never been a big fan of his but TEs kept getting picked right before I was ready to take them (Graham, Eifert, Bennett). I almost grabbed Hooper or Brate in the 16th and I'm still thinking about grabbing one off FA but I have to consider who to drop for a kicker as well. Kupp first on the chopping block? Is anyone else really expendable?

I don't know why you thought this. I can't remember the last time I liked a running back class coming out this much. I just wish I'd gotten more shares in dynasty, but I also think this receiving class is being seriously underrated. poo poo, it's easily the best tight end class in recent memory and it's probably the strongest class since Luck.
