No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:

In my case I just picked up two guys at either the end of the draft or the WW. If they don't pan out (they won't) then I won't feel bad dropping them.

In other news I need some help with some last minute thoughts.

Team 1: Half PPR, 3WR

QB: Luck, Carr
RB: Gurley, Riddick, Rawls, White, Prosise, Burkhead
WR: Julio, Cooper, Diggs, Sanders, John Brown
TE: Kelce

I need to drop someone for a DST, or I need to make a trade. Is offering Sanders and Brown for Watkins too much? Maybe aim for Keenan Allen?

Team 2: Half PPR, 2QB, 3WR
QB: Luck, Rodgers, Goff
RB: Gordon, Abdullah, Elliott, Burkhead
WR: Jeffery, Garcon, Hogan, Diggs, Marvin Jones, Ginn, Golladay, Kevin White
TE: Rudolph

In this situation should I drop Golladay for a DST? Pittsburgh or Carolina?

Team 1: the guy who has Watkins or Keenan, what's the rest of his roster like?

Team 2: I'd drop Golladay for Pitt. They get the Browns and a rookie QB Week 1

It's my mother-in-law so basically anything I can do will help:

QB: Rodgers
RB: Ajayi, Montgomery, Buck Allen, Alvin Kamara
WR: Keenan Allen, Sammy Watkins, Rishard Matthews, Kevin White, Cooper Kupp, Kendall Wright
TE: Martellus Bennett, Coby Fleener

Her team isn't terrible, but her bench is kinda bad. Maybe Sanders and a bench RB for Keenan?

Honestly none of his bench RBs are worth the potential downgrade from Allen to Sanders and with it being a 3WR league she'd need the WR help more. Though she would be sol if Montgomery or ajayi gets injured.


Won't matter once Keenan dies thou.

So I'm overthinking having Rivers for my week 1 QB against Denver. He's laid some goose eggs against them before.

I see Bradford out there against New Orleans. Should I drop Smallwood and grab him?

ESPN (non-PPR)

QB: Carr, Rivers
RB: D. Johnson, M. Gordon, Elliott, Hyde
WR: D. Thomas, K. Benjamin, D. Parker, Garcon, Maclin, Snead, Ginn
TE: Julius Thomas
D/ST: Arizona
K: Vinatieri

Yahoo (.5 PPR)

QB: Dalton, Manning
RB: Bell, Hyde, CJ Anderson, Ingram
WR: Garcon, K. Allen, D. Baldwin, D. Parker, Maclin, Watkins
TE: Ebron
D/ST: Pittsburgh
K: Prater



Main concerns are TE in the ESPN draft, and QBs in the Yahoo draft. I feel like my WRs in both leagues are okayish and are going to make or break the teams depending on whether the hype pans out. The Yahoo league has some funky rules like extra points for distance of kick, up to 5 points for 50+, so i took a guy that kicks 50 yd FGs in a dome half the year.

Feel the beat
One guy in my league had a very uhhh interesting strategy

Took Ezekiel in the 1st at 10, followed by Freeman and Miller. Trades Freeman and Miller for Amari Cooper and Brandin Cooks, leaving him with Zeke and Rawls at RB. Then trades Kelvin Benjamin and Crowder to someone else for Hyde.

No idea what he's doing but I hope it works out for him

Leaves him with

Q: Jameis, Luck
WR: Parker, Cooper, Cooks, Diggs, Moncrief
RB: Zeke, Hyde, Rawls
TE: Kelce, Doyle

Tyrod seems to be like he won't play week 1. Good thing my alternative is Luck :suicide:

Bradford, Bortles, Cutler, Flacco, or Goff are on the wire. Should I grab one and if so who?

Going along with this, 0ppr should I sit TY for D. Thomas, A. Jeffery, or J. Crowder?

Just finished my draft tonight in 12-team half-ppr (7th position) and I think I could have done better...my biggest problem obviously being that I wasn't paying attention and drafted 4 Detroit Lions players (ugh). Please tell me it won't be that bad.

Does anyone else go pretty much all in on auction drafts? First time for our league and it didnt seem like a terrible plan. Paid $68 for Bell in the first, $81 (lol) for Johnson second and then sat out for quite a while.

Ended up with 12 team 1 ppr:

QB Matt Ryan
RB Bell

1. Zeke will play a few weeks.

2. Wheels of justice will slowly turn.

3. Zeke owners will discover he's suspended over the fantasy playoffs.

4. Chaos Reigns.

Thanks, maybe later in the draft since my opponents don't trade much and even less at the beginning of the season. The ww doesn't have anything that catches my eye at this point either.

I don't like it. Reed's injury history is primarily concussions, Murray may not even be flex worthy, and in a 14 team league Henry is perfectly starter-worthy.

Best rbs, decent depth. Wrs are suspect but still serviceable, and you grabbed some developing talent. TE and QB are top 6.
I'd say you played the waiting game just right, considering you overpayed on bell and DJ by about $20. Overall, I'd give it an A-, 90/100
