Keep Gurley. I'm sure you'll have a shot at Kamara.

Suave Fedora posted:

There’s no way you didn’t win the championship last year. Gurley + Kamara alone made up a lot of championship teams.

My first reaction was “how is this even a question” then I noticed it is 6pt TD.

You said you are fourth, but is that after considering whether or not the first three even have first round picks available? If they all have picks available, don’t expect Kamara to be available, MAYBE Zeke but that’s a long shot. I would go with your idea of sticking with Gurley because he has no competition in LAR but man it’s hard to pass up the insane value of keeping Kamara.


Ben Nevis posted:

Yeah. They're both great values. I'd agree that the first step is to suss out if all 3 guys in front of you are likely to have picks. I figure there's a chance Kamara or Zeke comes back, but no chance Gurley does.

Unfortunately I missed the playoffs with my winning strategy of drafting Andrew Luck and TY Hilton back to back in the 4th and 5th backfired completely on my and my team ended up being stacked at running back with literally a rotating door and QBs and WRs

We are drafting late so the keeper deadline is this week but if I had to guess each team I would say in a worst case scenario that probably these guys are out

Leonard Fournette
Derrick Henry
Christian McCaffrey
Kareem Hunt

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.
So my brother-in-law asked me to join his league with his buddies last minute. 12 team 1PPR auction league. $200 salary. Of course they all took the day off work because it's a big thing of theirs and I had to work. Figured I could still knock this thing out, but then I got pulled into an urgent conference call so the auto-draft took care of a few of my bids.

QB - Brady ($9), Handsome Jimmy ($1)
RB - LVB ($76), Hunt ($60), Rashaad Penny ($2), Ronald Jones ($2), Marlon Mack ($1), Riddick ($1)
WR - Tate ($25), Crabtree ($9), Corey Davis ($7), Cooper Kupp ($3), Keelan Cole ($1)
TE - Ebron ($1)
D/ST - Cardinals - ($1)
K - Butker ($1)

I was in the middle of bidding on Hunt when I had to go. Auto-draft got me Brady, Tate, Crabtree, and Corey Davis.

So how hosed am I?

Alright, I think you guys will be happy with how I did in this draft. More Beersheets friendly. There's a few picks I cut off at the bottom cause I had to leave early so I'll have to drop those players when the commish inputs them.

I'm #5, Stephan.

Yes, I picked Gordon over Zeke and Kamara again. Because Cowboys suck and I'll take volume over talent.

Check out Deez Nuts team though lolz



I'm sorry to tell you that I'm sharing this photo in a few places but it's too good to ignore. Like when you notice someone passed on Kamara to draft Prescott it's universal laughter.

Like your RB depth is bad, but LVB, Hunt and Brady cover a multitude of sins. Considering that, the WR corps isn't bad.

QB: Don't bother with two. Is there a high upside flyer like Jordan Wilkins or Courtland Sutton available?

RB: Studs and duds is fine. Sucks that you have both Penny and RoJo given how far their stock has fallen.

WR: I don't like the risk here. Upside with Cole is good but I am personally underwhelmed by your starters.

TE: You paid a dollar. Good job. Maybe see if Eifert is on the WW as an upside flyer.

I think both Wilkins and Sutton are available, so I'll drop Handsome Jimmy for one. I'm pretty high on Ebron as a Colts fan, especially after his 15 yard TD catch last weekend. I know Eifert is gone, but I'm sure there are a couple of other flyers there.

Any of you all have a preferred app/site for doing keeper leagues? We've been using ESPN and doing an offline draft but need to make it online this year. When doing offline draft we can set keepers to whatever round they were drafted the previous season but ESPN restricts keepers as the first few rounds of the draft. Is this true? any alternative recomendations?

In a 1PPR league i'm most likely looking at my first round pick coming down to Beckham or Hopkins, as i'm already keeping Dalvin Cook and Alex Collins for my RB spots.

Do i go with Hopkins or Beckham? There's a chance DJ falls to me at #4 also (Gurley and Kamara are being kept). Zeke most likely will be available but i'm iffy on that dallas situation. We start 2RB 2WR and a flex

I'm anticipating it going in some order these 3 first Bell, DJ, AB84 and then me.

Dunno man, the only Colt I've drafted so far this year is Ebron as a TE2 because I have no faith in Luck's deep ball.

I know I'm just scrambling to invest in a backfield where we can't decide between Jordan Wilkins, Nyheim Hines and Christine Michael to fill in before Robert Turbin comes back in week five and turns it into a full-blown rear end committee (if Marlon Mack is too hurt to go week one).

I'm in a 14-team PPR money league that auction drafts where you start 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, and 2 FLEX among other spots. Grant and Hines went undrafted. Wilkins went for $1. None of those guys will win you a league this year unless like 4 other Colts die on the field.

There somewhere where I can enter my Startup Dynasty league's scoring settings, team size, and budget and get a fair amount to pay for each player?

Anybody have any spreadsheets?

I'm going into my own Scott Fish Bowl inspired auction league on Wednesday without any clear idea on player values (other than don't spend more than 25% of your budget on one player).

Yeah, $1 is the right price. They're end of the draft guys in an unsettled backfield who may win some share of the job. As a bonus the presumed starter is injured.

Fun fact; when flying for work I ended up sitting next to a guy wearing a Colt's jacket. Turns out he was a team doctor. We chatted a bit and I mentioned Marlon Mack; his eyes lit up and said the guy was something special. Not sure he'd feel the same way now.

2. Just finished the draft and had the Packers auto drafted. The Texans are on wavers I want to select them but I hit the "submit" button and nothing happens.

Is it just busy draft times lag?

I run a funky dynasty league that allows 15 keepers on NFL.com , and it's been pretty good so far. I also use a linear draft instead of a snake and it has been able to handle all that plus draft pick trades. So that's my 2 cents.

for 12 team that looks pretty good if cooks can transiton well into the Rams offense. I also think James white is going to eat this year in ppr. If you're unsure about him, sell him after a couple good games before Edelman gets back, but I think White has a great year this year.

What type of waiver should I use for my 12-team, standard ESPN scoring, $20 entry league? We've always used the default 'reset each week' but a new guy last year made a fuss about switching to 'move to end'. I wonder if FAAB is too much for a $20 league.
