Benne posted:Charmander is terrible, what are you people on about? He already lost the No. 2 spot to Hunt long before Ware died. West put up 850 yards (634 running) and 5 TDs on 160 carries (4.0 YPC) in 2015, despite barely playing half the season due to Jamaal Charles and then at the end of the season when he got hurt and ceded the role to Ware. He's not "terrible". Hunt is the starter, but he's a rookie, and he's not a marquee talent or a high draft pick either. If he fumbles a couple times or gets his QB blown up, he could easily get benched. Hunt is a high ceiling guy, but has a very low floor. Football is riddled with "surefire" rookie RBs that bust (Montee Ball, Devontae Booker, etc).

As it is, he'll be the 3rd down/CoP guy, and he's next in line if Hunt falters or gets injured. High end handcuff at the moment.

Cigar Aficionado posted:Hyde. Hunt, Cook, and to an extent even Fournette have been so overhyped this year, but I suppose that is the way of fantasy. I remember when Montee Ball was rated 6th overall in standard and "a locked in RB1" who was going to score 20 TDs. Yeah, this is logical and good insight, peppered with oddly bad takes. - West looked really bad this preseason. - Spiller hasn't detracted from an RB1 in like 6 years - Citing bad predictions from 3 years ago(Ball) is a good way to make your otherwise-sound analysis seem cherry picked Other than that, this is spot on.

So this is probably a noob question, but in my league settings it says "receptions: 0.5" under the offence tab. That's PPR right?

Ok just finished up my final draft for the season, also happens to be my big money one. 12 team .5 PPR 6 PPTD Picked 3rd QB - Mariota WR - Antonio Brown WR - Kelvin Benjamin WR - Stefon Diggs RB - Ezekiel Elliot RB - Leonard Fournette TE - Jimmy Graham FLEX - Randall Cobb K - Younghoe Koo (lmao kickers but i just had to) D - Cardinals BN - Fat Rob BN - Adam Thielan BN - Darren Sproles BN - Chris Thompson BN - Stafford I was gonna go WR/WR at first but Zeke was there at 22 and i just had to. Pickings were hella slim by the end but i feel p fine about it. Stafford was an autodraft but whatevs. Thoughts? RB depth is scary VietCampo fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Sep 4, 2017 |

I'm mostly checking in on IDP with someone else who knows about it. But my waiver wire is so crazy. Do I make any moves? 10 Man League. 0.5 PPR. #5 Draft Spot. Here are my defensive settings: quote:Tackle Solo: 0.75 points quote:QB: Jameis Winston (R8) It was a weird draft. Even though it's 4 point TDs, Brady & Rodgers went in the first round which meant AJ Green SOMEHOW slipped to me in the 2nd thanks to the dude in front of me being a Saints fan and picking Michael Thomas. Here's what's on the waiver wire for IDP from what SEEMS to be the best left: quote:DB: Do I need to make any moves for my defense? And while we are at it, highlights of the rest of the waiver wire...lots of good pickups, I just don't think I can drop anyone! quote:RB: Do I make any moves?

I was offered this trade in a 1 PPR league that is 3WR/2RB/2Flex: Give Michael Thomas Give Dez Bryant Receive Antonio Brown Receive Kenny Britt And I'm not sure what to do. I'm leaning no, but y'all gave me forceful advice on my last trade proposal so I would love to hear it now. EDIT: 12 teams if that matters.

I did my first FFL draft in about 2-3 years, how's this look? I basically just followed Beersheets. It's just your basic old ESPN league, 1QB/2RB/2WR/1TE/Flex/DST/K, 10 man PPR. I had tenth pick. QB: Russell Wilson (8) RB: Melvin Gordon (2), Christian McCaffrey (4), Dalvin Cook (5), Doug Martin (9), LeGarrette Blount (11), Derrick Henry (13), Alvin Kamara (14) WR: AJ Green (1), DeAndre Hopkins (3), Allen Robinson (6), Donte Moncrief (10), Corey Davis (12) TE: Jimmy Graham (7) DST: Panthers (15) K: Mason Crosby (16) My initial thoughts are that I took a QB too high and I wish my WRs were deeper, but I like my RBs.

Spiller is not a threat to the top job but he's on the roster and playable if Hunt falters. 3. It's relevant in that Ball was hyped far beyond what Hunt is, and was in a far better offence, and still busted badly. But there's been dozens of examples over the years of "starting RBs" who bust. It's a very volatile position, especially amongst rookies.

Cigar Aficionado posted:1. Irrelevent, it's preseason. He's a proven backup/stopgap starter. I think it's more likely that it ends up being a committee with all three guys getting touches and series to themselves. Along with Hill getting some carries in too. Which is what they did last year with West and Ware. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if someone else is brought in too as an addition or to replace Spiller.

How bad is my team? 12 team, standard, no ppr. QB - Mariota WR - Julio WR - M. Thomas RB - Crowell RB - Mixon FLEX - Crowder TE - H. Henry K - Tucker D - Seattle Bench: Rawls Char West J. Conner T. Cohen S. Shepard C. Brate My bench is a complete disaster but I tried salvaging it as best I could. I was out of the country and ended up only drafting my starters which unfortunately left my bench to be autodrafted. The autodraft picked up two players out for the season ( Ware / Edelman), a 2nd DEF (NYG), 2nd QB (Manning), 2nd TE (Witten) and Rawls (who I kept)... Thoughts?

Am I wrong in thinking that Terrelle Pryor Sr., Kelvin Benjamin, and Allen Robinson is a pretty mediocre set of WRs in standard/no ppr? I feel like all of them have a pretty low floor. I feel pretty good about Gordon+Freeman at RB though. Too bad we have an rear end in a top hat in the league that was mad about the draft time and drafted a kicker with the 7th overall pick and then dumped all his players he could afterward.

There are too many downward factors pushing it down: - I predict the Browns passing offense will be bottom third in the league -He's going to be on a run-heavy offense, per coach - His QB is an untested rookie (sidebar: though as a Corey Coleman and Crowell owner, I do want Kizer to be good. But Coleman is my WR5) - Coleman can easily become the WR1 on that team and has shown better in preseason than Britt to the tune of 14 targets to Britt's 6 - Browns - Britt is getting oldballs - lol Browns

Yea but he's a dude that has 1 1000 yard season out of like 7 years. We're not saying he'll not do good, we're just saying it's silly to say presume that he will outscore Golden Tate AND Deandre Hopkins, both who have averaged over 1000+ last few years. If you take out Britt's last season, he averages like 500-600 yards before that. edit: hungover posting errors rip VietCampo fucked around with this message at 15:52 on Sep 4, 2017 |

There's this weird blindspot people have where "produced in bad offense/with bad QB" is noteworthy but "was the only target on the team" flies under the radar. No one should be surprised guys like Britt or Pryor had ~1k yards last year, that's an indication of them being the only credible targets on their teams, not that they're some transcendent talent than can make overcome the handicap of Goff/the Browns.

Might be until Week 4 or later before Mixon fully takes over. I don't know why you're smug about grabbing Luck. He's probably missing 4 games and even then you have Rodgers. You wasted a roster spot that you could have used on another RB.
