FAAB is fairest, but can be scary for noobs and casuals. Continuous rolling list is second best. Reverse order of standings is terrible because it rewards failure and, in extreme cases, outright tanking.

I love that people are drafting Gordon expecting him to turn in a 1k+ season after not playing for years with him being MAYBE a year sober with 1 slip up being another season ending suspension. Especially with an notoriously conservative QB. Literally nothing about his situation says he turns in anything deserving of his ADP.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Except, you know, 2013. Or even last season? I mean, last season he put up 335 yards in 5 games with Kizer throwing him the ball, which is a ~1100 yard season pace? Yeah, his PPG was only pacing for a low end WR2, but if you assume he catches more TDs, that makes a big difference.. I'd expect his target rate to drop a bit, but his catch rate to rise a bit as well -- down from say 134 targets (last season pace) to 110, up from 41% catch rate to 50-55% or so, gives you roughly the same number of expected catches. He's currently being drafted as WR21. Last season he would have been WR24 with Kizer as his QB if he played the whole season. If he doesn't get suspended, a low end WR2 feels like a reasonable floor for him. If he is suspended, well, that's his season. His ceiling is of course a high end WR1. Feels like a decent gamble at WR21 / OV50, which puts him in the 5th round? The guy going after him (arob) is a pretty similar gamble. One season of production. New team, new OC, last productive season was essentially 3 years ago, injury history -- but I feel like he is more QB dependent. Marvin Jones (WR24, so 3 after Josh Gordon) only has one season over 1k yards and a rising WR3 to compete with. Hogan, WR25, has 0 1k yard seasons, a ton of injury history, and is likely to lose his volume share to edelman when he returns in 4 games. Jeffery (WR26) is likely to start the season injured. etc. Where JG is going, he has the most upside and it's with players that have decent (or high) upside but a lot of potential downside as well.

^ Not really seeing the downside for where he is being drafted, which in my leagues has been way late. Worth the flier imo. How concerned are we with the Dallas OLine and specifically how they relates to Zeke's productivity? Dude offered me up Jordan Howard for Zeke straight up, which I am not going to do, but he is a huge Cowboy homer so I am wondering how much I can milk out of him for Howard. Or if it would even be worth pursuing?

Every starting O lineman except the rookie LG is ailing, but none are on IR (though I'd expect Frederick to be done for the year). Joe Looney will fill in at center, and has reportedly had a very good camp. I'd expect everyone else to be healthy enough to play by week one. The Howard owner likely smells blood in the water. I wouldn't entertain a trade personally.

Don't ask me how people let me get this team but I am wondering who to cut for a kicker and defense. 1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE/1Flex/K/DST .5ppr 10 teams yahoo normal scoring for the rest. Todd Gurley Keenan Allen Travis Kelce Christian McCaffrey Mike Evans Doug Baldwin Lesean McCoy Dion Lewis Tevin Coleman Corey Davis Ben Roethlisberger Andrew Luck Rashaad Penny Kenny Stills Pierre Garcon I am thinking Garcon and Stills but I am worried about being too shallow in WR in a 3 WR league.

Yeah I'm obv in the "backup qbs aren't necessary" club, but I've also been specifically buying Luck/Big Ben when I get the other because of those bad weeks/risks. Only if I get a deal on the second guy though (<$5/$200)

I was mostly replying to the 'but is he a 1k yard player?' sentiment of the guy you quoted. He doesn't really seem overdrafted to me. re: Zeke.. The cowboys offense is 100% reliant on him. Even with the oline injuries, he's a nearly first rounder. I would never trade him straight up for Howard. I'd want Howard and a top 5 WR.

I know it's a 10 teamer and it's not as ridiculously dominant as it seems, but you genuinely could attempt to get through the entire season without making any add/drops and AT LEAST make the playoffs unless you just get destroyed by injuries

Work league for a job I quit 6 years ago full of morons that still beat the piss out of me annually. One guy started eschewing the draft rankings the commissioner brought for everyone to use in favor of just picking whatever dudes BW3's draft kit had stickers for. Dude is either starting Stevan Ridley or Mike Gillislee week 1 as of now. PPR, 6pt Passing TDs, 10 teams 2nd pick.

Who are you all targeting at RB in the later rounds? It seems like once I get past the Miller/Ajayi/Ingram tier, the options are all really ugly.
