My main league is adding some stuff this year. It's 10 man, 0.5 PPR. Buuuut, lineup looks like this these days (extra IDP and a flex) 1 QB 2 RB 3 WR 1 TE 1 K 1 RB/WR/TE Flex 3 LB 2 DB 2 DL 11 bench. How much of a priority do I put on IDP? It's high scoring on big plays (5 pt sacks, 5 pt INTs, etc). The actual scoring breakdown compares more to a broader range of TE, in comparison. Although, somebody like LB/DL Chandler Jones (top IDP player) scored as much as McCaffrey or Jarvis Landry at 205 pts Kinda thinking it might be a smart move of me to put a premium on elite pass rushers over WR3s or my 4th RB. I usually build on the waiver wire, but there's gonna be around an extra 40 IDP players owned in the league at any given time as opposed to past years 89 fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Aug 25, 2018 |

Those are your priority IDP players anyone else is a 10th round pick on back. Elite DB's are a trap, you want safeties not coverage guys. Edit: think like 6th round for those elite LBs. It's an injury prone position and there's a LOT of dudes in the mid tier level. Long as their everydown guys they'll put up 8-10.

RCarr posted:I'm trying to set up waivers to match every other fantasy football platform in existence. Players are locked from kickoff of their game, and stay locked until waivers process on Wednesday mornings. Ok, that part wasn't hard to set up. You also have the option of having a "free agency" period, during which anyone who is an unrestrcted free agent can be grabbed by any owner at any time. You don't have to do this, but if you do, then you need to specify locks that last long enough that a player who is dropped will not become an unlocked free agent before the next waiver transaction happens. Look at the list of radio buttons in the middle of the "BASIC ADD/DROP SETUP" screen. It sounds to me like what you want is the "Waiver Requests For Locked Players, First Come/First Serve For Rest" option. Under this option, all you need to do is make sure players are locked for long enough that they won't become free agents before your next waiver transaction is run. So for example, if you are going to run a waiver transaction every wednesday morning, and if players are undroppable until after the end of the last game (monday night), then dropped players with 2-day locks will always hit waivers before they hit free agency. However a player dropped on wednesday right after the waiver transaction, would be unlocked by some time Friday morning. If you don't run your next waiver process until Saturday, then those players will become free agents too soon. So maybe you want a three or four day lock period. It's up to you and how often you run that waiver process, so that's why MFL does not make some assumption about how long the lock should be. MFL does ALSO give you the option of not having to decide how long players are locked, though! Set "Dropped Players Are Locked Until:" to "The first waivers run after X days." You probably don't want X to be zero, because that would let someone drop a player 5 minutes before waivers and then only someone else who knew he was gonna do that makes a waiver claim, which is a prime opportunity for collusion. Set it to 1 or 2 and dropped players will basically be unavailable for 1 or 2 days, and then will be available on whatever the next waiver run is, per your schedule. No need to worry about how long that is, it's automatic. Also note that MFL gives you the ability to set this to a specified day of the week, instead. So if you for example ran waivers on wednesdays and saturdays, you could have players always be locked till the following sunday, and that means players dropped monday would be exposed to both waiver periods before becoming free agents, but players dropped friday would only be exposed to the saturday waiver period and would then be free agents after. Note that you do not have to have any free agency period. In our league, we use "Always Via Blind Bid Requests" so we don't need a lock period at all. Players are only available during our twice-weekly FAAB waivers process, and otherwise owners can never just pick up any guy instantly. We're using FAAB, if you watned to not use FAAB but still have this system, you could use "Always Via Waiver Requests." The tl:dr here is that this screen determines what "locked" means, and MFL lets you decide between different choices.

Peyton Barber is not good at football. They drafted Jones for a reason. But expecting rational coaching decisions is how you end up with an aneurysm.

Since I use a number of sources they allow me to lump players with similar values into tiers. If you see a group of players shaded the same color then you should treat them as having roughly equivalent value.

So, I ended up with an auto-drafted team after I became unable to personally draft at the last minute. It's a casual league, so it's not a big deal. Behold what the computer made for me (12-team, no PPR): QB: Luck RB: Kamara RB: CMC WR: Hogan WR: Marvin Jones TE: Graham FLEX: Jordan Howard D/ST: BAL K: PHI's Bench: Fat Rashaad Ty Mont Cameron Meredith James White Latavius Murray Kittle Garoppolo So, 7 RBs, 2 QBs, 2 TEs, and then only 3 WRs, none of which are great. I immediately dropped Kittle and Garoppolo for Geronimo Allison and Taywan Taylor. 12 teams with 7-player benches doesn't leave much out there but are there any WR sleepers anyone recommend I should target on the waiver wire?

Convince me I shouldn't take Alvin Kamara over Antonio Brown in a 2RB, 3WR, 1 FLEX league. I'm #4. So that puts me in Antonio Brown land. But, I feel worried about missing out on a top RB if I grab him. But, alternatively, it's TOTALLY possible to end up with Antonio/Keenan Allen/TY Hilton/Landry/Ertz if I just hammer away at WR and invest in guys like Royce Freeman and Kerryon Johnson

Kamara has one season of other worldly efficiency that will be difficult to keep up, where he put up 81-1550-14. His touches should go up, but he's unlikely to average 6 ypc or a touchdown every 15 carries again. Brown has averaged 116-1570-10 for the last 5 years. sourdough fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Aug 25, 2018 |

Even if he does (likely) regress. He's still a top 10 RB even after regression. Line is good. QB is future hall of famer. Run game is legit.

The talks about Kamara regression always ignores that he'll also likely be looking at Ingram's volume share from last season this year. They didn't trade up to draft Kamara just so he could be the third down back. Volume will make up for potential regression. In truth though, Kamara is going to be the RB1 this year.

89 posted:One thing that got me with Kamara though... The Saints have pretty much always used a three back system under Payton. Since Payton got the HC job in 2006, the Saints have ranked between 1st and 6th in total offense every year including the year of Bounty Gate. In that time, they've had only two 1000 yard rushers. McCallister in 2006 and Ingram in 2016. I'd be concered that Kamara's usage might not magically take off in Ingram's absence since they're historically a passing team. If you draft him, it should be with full knowledge that his opportunity share might not rise at all, while his efficieny falls back to earth.

What are his running back rankings in the passing game?

My point isn't that he doesn't catch the ball at an elite level. It's that the Saints don't employ their scatback as a between the tackles bellcow. Both Reggie Bush and Darren Sproles have led the team in receptions in 2006 and 2011 receptively. And, Sproles also lead the team in rushing that year to the tune of 600 yards, but both Mark Ingram and Pierre Thomas out carried him. A top 5 finish could happen for Kamara where it didn't for these other guys. But, I don't find that very likely personally.

It's honestly the only reason he isn't my RB1 in drafts, despite my belief he will end the year as such. I think the difference in usage is necessity. Bush and Sproles aren't good running between the tackles. Kamara is.
