I'm in a 12 team draft and picking 12th. I got AJ Green and Odell Beckham Jr at 12 and 13. Did something bad happen to one or both of them?

ODB has a high ankle sprain but last I heard he is supposed to play week one. AJ Green no idea. Grats on getting 2 stud WRs.

Well that sucked. I was at work during the draft and had to hand off my phone for picks at a time. How hosed am I in a 12 team half point PPR? QB: Alex Smith; Andrew Luck RB: Le'veon Bell; Leonard Fournette; Joe Mixon; Theo Riddick, Darren Sproles; Rex Burkhead WR: Keenan Allen; Terrell Pryor; Sammy Watkins; Ted Ginn D: Green Bay My league went QB nuts.

Pretty stacked at WR, but that's because people went nuts over RBs early on. I don't think I did too bad at RB, but I did end up with 3 TB RBs. Will definitely drop Sims for an early breakout. 12 Team, picked 12th no ppr. QB: Cam Newton(85) RB: Ty Montgomery(36), Dalvin Cook(37), Danny Woodhead(61), Doug Martin(108), Jacquizz Rodgers(132), Charles Sims(156) WR: Odell Beckham Jr(12), A.J. Green(13), Martavis Bryant(60), Willie Snead(109), Jordan Matthews(133), Kendall Wright(156) TE: Delanie Walker(84) K: Younghoe Koo(180) D/ST: Patriots D/ST(181) 1 more character and I could have named it "I'm the Dougernaut, Bitch". Considering "Pickle Charcandrick!!" if I can trade for him. How did I do?

Your team is very good but there's no reason to roster Charles Sims. I would rather use that Sims spot on Jamaal Williams, just in case Montgomery doesn't work out. Woodhead won't be as valuable outside PPR but it shouldn't matter since he'll be your RB4 by the time Martin is back. WR are beasts and you have potentially four top-25 WRs once Snead is back from suspension. I would try to move Jordan Matthews for a different RB. I'm way down on Walker just because his upside is insanely capped now. Don't trade for Charcandrick Name your team Koo Danny Cooks

Someone in my league just dropped Blount to pick up Evan Engram (leaving him with 3 RBs and 3 TEs for some reason) and I'm considering dropping Burkhead to pick him up. Our league switched to FAAB this year and we all have $250 in fake money to spend over the course of the season. What's a reasonable amount to drop on Blount?

If I could have one pick back, I would have taken either AP or Ingram over Woodhead. I had trouble choosing between Saints RBs and panicked a bit and went Woodhead. For TE I usually either get Gronk or someone in round 11+, but since I was stacked at WR and there was a big gap between the best available RB I went with Walker. What's the reference for Koo Danny Cooks?

Edit: man, I looked into it more and all you Burkheads are crazy. Two career games with double digits carries. One career season with double digits carries lol. Pats paid both Gillislee and White more than him. White was the real Super Bowl MVP and resigned to a multiyear deal. Gillislee was a hyper efficient runner and goal line back. Dion Lewis was a legit three down back as recently as last year when he was healthy. It's a Patriots RB.

Belichick obviously likes Burkhead, he missed almost no time in the camp/preaseason, and what he offers in terms of run v. pass scheme versatility is valued a ton by the Patriots. Gillislee missed a lot more time than people realize both in camp and in the preseason with hamstring issues; there is no way they trust him yet like they trusted Blount. Dion Lewis is the wildcard but his usage in the preseason came with a lot of questions about how they view him going forward. Remember in week 1 of the preseason when Lewis played so much with backups and everyone was wondering why? And how the healthy starters who got to sit and watch the game were White and Burkhead? They already trust in Burkhead. That much is clear. People should at least hold onto him and see what the Pats real gameplans look like before they jump ship.

If Blount doesn't clear waivers until after the Thursday game and you are able to drop guys that have already played from your bench, maybe wait. See what happens with Burkhead in the game and make the decision one way or another.

In my PPR league, the commish set the timer to 30 seconds and ended up auto picking Kelce and Reed back to back. His RBs are DJ, Abdullah, and Lacy. Thats it. I've got Zeke, Crowell, K. Hunt, Mixon, Kamara, and J. Conner. My TE however is Witten, no backup because this dude has +20 durability and will never miss a game. Should I throw any of those guys out there to try and get Reed or Kelce? Or just roll with old man Witten in 1 PPR and try and work the waiver wire later?

should i be starting Rawls or Charmander instead of Mixon as my RB2 until Mixon's role becomes clear or does he still have the better outlook with Hill starting? Rawls is stated as the starter (and Lacy is pathetic) but its unclear if he'll play and Charmander is likely to split with Hunt, but who knows.

And then Lewis didn't leave the field during the first drive of preseason game 3. I don't think preseason usage means as much with a BB team than it does for others (which is already shaky at best). They likely have four talented running backs that will all be active on game day doing lots of things (Lewis probably going to be involved in kick returns, Rex most definitely going to be on special teams). It's gonna be a committee.

Lmao it's a Belichick running back. That is a loving crowded backfield. Dion Lewis could run away with the job that Gillislee was signed for, and Gillislee is much, much better than Burkhead. Think about who Burkhead couldn't beat out for a starting job before. Blount will see steady usage and is slated to be the starter. Smallwood could be good but didn't do much last year. Belichick will pull a hellish Stevan Ridley/Shane Vereen/Brandon Bolden mixaroo like you've never seen and you will all curse his name. JFC just think about the Superbowl, he gave White all the touches. Gumbel2Gumbel fucked around with this message at 12:35 on Sep 6, 2017 |

God forbid Burkhead fumbles if he does get the start, he won't touch the ball for three loving games. Seriously, everyone here is insane for trying to bet on this backfield. It's going to be a crazily productive group and you will pick the wrong loving one every time. Like, if you pick up everyone on the roster right now, DJ Foster will get promoted from the practice squad and turn into Arian Foster for your league's Taco.

This is the time to pick up lottery tickets and let things shake out. Burkhead is worth stashing at the end of your bench I guess. You won't feel bad if he ends up playing 15 snaps a game and you cut him Week 5 for your bye week replacement QB.

I'm using lottery tickets to get player upgrades, and then filling out the gaps with more lottery tickets. Debating between Burkhead, Prosise, and Smallwood at the moment. I have Burkhead and Prosise but Smallwood is sitting there. Dammit I wouldn't have this problem if it wasn't for loving Luck.

Matt Breida and D'Onta Foreman have more upside as a lotto ticket than Rex imo. At least in those backfields, an injury to the starter would leave a semblance of clarity. For a bye-week guy, I'd rather have Vereen

Dion Lewis is the best Patriots lottery ticket because he will be loving electric if he returns to 2015 form and he looks healthy (also is top of the depth chart). Burkhead and Gillislee were both signed because Patriots had the money and are probably better than James White. Bill does not give a poo poo what he paid for someone, just who is better in that exact minute.

lovely. I'm not going to get mad about fantasy when the second largest hurricane ever in the Atlantic is bearing down on a major population center. But yeah this blows fantasy wise. I grabbed Bradford last night to cover for Winston and I'm still deciding if Britt, Jimmy Graham (WR/TE flex) or Beasley are replacing Evans (leaning Britt).
