Floofy posted:Hi fantasy football veterans! I’m taking part in my first fantasy season this year and I’ve read though most of this thread just trying to remember common names and to figure out all the acronyms. Still not sure what a PPR in reference to leagues is (some are 0.5 PPR’s?) It will be easier to answer specific questions so if you have any more ask the thread. May the odds be in your favor.

Ches Neckbeard posted:PPR: Points Per Reception. .5 means 1/2 point per reception. If a league is listed as just PPR that means it's 1 PPR Points per reception, of course. Why the WR’s are so valuable i take it.. D positions are D/DB/DB/LB/LB plus the standard entire team defence category. Points for tackles (0.5 PPT i guess?), sack 5, tackles for loss 1, forced fumbles 2, touchdowns 6, blocked kicks 3, safeties 2, fumble recoveries 5, interceptions 5 Thanks in advance for the advice, I’m really looking forward to getting stomped all year while I learn the in’s and out’s of the fantasy football game.

Alright inside linebackers are your money makers followed by outside linebackers and safeties. Tackling is your money maker. Pass rush specialist linebackers tend to be traps. They're out to hit the QB not typically stop the run or play coverage. The ball is not near them. If the ball isn't near them a lot there's less chance to score points. Big Name Corners (Richard Sherman/Patrick Peterson/etc): these men are very good at their jobs which is to keep the ball from being thrown in their direction. If the ball isn't near them there's less chance of a pick, tackle PBU and whatnot which means fewer chances to get you points. Stay very very far from these men. https://www.idpguru.com/ is a decent resource for stuff as well.

I wouldn't be looking at IDP's until the 6th at the earliest personally. There's a ton of variability year to year. In that scoring set up I wouldn't be expecting much more than 10 points a week average from your top defensive picks.

OLBs are the dudes to target with those settings. Sacks being 10x the value of tackles, FF and FR being highly valued, and no assisted tackle scoring makes typically valuable tackle machine LBs much less valuable. Zach Cunningham had 99 solo, 7 TFL, 2 sacks, 2 FR, for 76.5 points Darius Leonard had 71 solo, 7 TFL, 5 sacks, 5 ints, 1 TD, for 98.5 points (in 13 games) vs TJ Watt had 35 solo, 14 TFL, 14.5 sacks, 4 FR, 8 FF, 2 ints, for 147.5 points Chandler Jones had 42 solo, 11 TFL, 19 sacks, 3 FR, 8 FF, for 158 points Shaq Barrett had 45 solo, 19 TFL, 19.5 sack, 6 FF, 1 int, for 156 points and lower end dudes too, Zadarius Smith had 41 solo, 17 TFL, 13.5 sacks, 1 FF, for 107 Harold Landry had 43 solo, 12 TFL, 9 sacks, 2 FR, 1 int, for 93.5 Khalil Mack had 40 solo, 8 TFL, 8.5 sacks, 1 FR, 5 FF, for 85.5 points So when everyone else starts drafting the high end ILBs in the middle rounds, Floofy should sit back and grab top tier OLBs a couple rounds later, or just wait and grab other OLBs even later. You're giving up a ton of value going with the standard advice of targeting ILBs.

I just did my 12 team PPR and I hate the Gibson pick but RBs went QUICK and had to take someone. Otherwise think I'm okay with my team... I'm really happy with my run of Diontae, Slayton, then Preston Williams: RBs: Dalvin Cook, Kenyan Drake, David Johnson, Antonio Gibson, Chase Edmonds, Darrel Williams WRs: Allen Robinson, Terry McLaurin, Diontae Johnson, Darius Slayton, Preston Williams TEs: Mike Gesicki, Jonnu Smith QBs: Russell Wilson, Gardner Minshew II NE Def This is the draft order:

Just received a trade request offering Jordan Howard for Antonio Gibson. It looks like Howard is the stronger player on paper with the big caveat that Gibson is a lottery ticket, especially with AP gone. Is that a fair assessment? Might as well post my full (non PPR) team, drafted last Sunday: QB: Matt Ryan RB1: Ezekiel Elliott RB2: Joe Mixon Flex: David Montgomery WR1: Amari Cooper WR2: Courtland Sutton TE: George Kittle D: Bills K: Zane Gonzalez Bench: Terry Mclaurin, Evan Engram, Anthony Miller, Matt Breida, Mecole Hardman, Jerry Jeudy, Antonio Gibson

A but sad I wasn’t able to leave my home league auction this weekend with McLaurin, Hollywood or Sanders. I did end up getting a number of my guys, and building an upside heavy roster with some flexibility in the form of some extra QBs, who always have good trade value in this Superflex format. 12 Team, .5 PPR, QB/RB/RB/WR/WR/FLX/SFLX/DST/K ($200) QB: Allen ($15), Stafford ($9), Lock ($4), Haskins ($3) RB: Cook ($59), Taylor ($7), Dobbins ($6), Moss ($5), Edmonds ($2), Damien Harris ($2) WR: OBJ ($29), Ridley ($22), Chark ($8), Gallup ($14), Diontae Johnson ($4), Laviska Shenault ($2) TE: Hockenson ($4) D/ST: Colts K: Gonzalez RB2 spot to start the season is clearly the weak link, but I’m massively high on both Taylor and Dobbins, and think one of them takes the lead role in their backfield sooner rather than later.

I never really thought to check if there was a fantasy football thread but I guess there is! In my draft this year two rubes took quarterbacks in the first round, plus a few very questionable running backs mixed in there so somehow I ended up getting Kelce in the third round(10 team league). I have Zeke, Julio Jones and Kelce, that's a pretty strong base.

Do you play 1 QB? Why did team 1 go QB QB at the turn of the second, and then get a 3rd backup QB when they have the top 2 already on roster, going to squander McCaffrey  . All of the teams are solid enough since it is a 10 team league, though I prefer P pants and Frodo's teams if I had to choose 2. Aaron Jones the steal of the draft at 27 in PPR.

I am really high on Jonnu because he did okay last year with an unstable QA situation and Delanie Walker being TE #1 on the team. Now there is no more Delanie and the QB situation is stabilized so Jonnu is the #2 receiving threat on the team. AAAAA! Real Muenster fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Sep 7, 2020 |

Last draft of the season, here's the board: https://www.fleaflicker.com/nfl/leagues/140929/drafts I drafted from the 2-slot. 12-team PPR with flex. FAAB in a known RB hoarder league where RBs are scarce on the wire. I knew ADP of similar format drafts beforehand. Division tiebreakers and playoff seeding mechanisms are same as NFL (so h2h really matters) and you know your schedule beforehand (division matchups for me are weeks 2/3/11/13). NarFFL is a huge relegation format league with 1574 individual owners. How'd I do? Zeke Carson Thielen OBJ Keenan Allen Antonio Gibson (surprised I got him here, he has been going in the 5th recently in other NarFFL leagues) Phil Lindsay Hunter Henry Brees Henry Ruggs III Lat-Murray Ravens Pollard Saints Seibert Doyle

pmchem posted:Last draft of the season, here's the board: You took a lot of players that I am not a huge fan of, though that does not mean anything since I barely win  . I am not a huge fan of the strategy of the draft because it felt like you missed the RB last call by taking WR in the 4th and 5th round, and then were forced to draft RB that have IMO low upside during the WR sweet spot where you can get solid WR2s with upside in the 7th/8th round. Generally I have been loading up on WR round 6-9 since I see minimal difference between those and ones drafted in the 4th/5th rounds.I realize this is a lot easier to do in hindsight, but if you took one RB of your choice drafted in the 5th, 6th, or 7th round over OBJ or Allen, and then one WR of your choice drafted in the 7th, 8th, or 9th round over Lindsay I think I would like the team a lot more. Hypothetically switching OBJ/Allen and Lindsay for Ingram/Mostart and Cooks/Jones/Landry sounds better to me at least. Then again what do I know, the season has not started yet, maybe by week 16 this would have 400 more points than whatever I would have drafted.
