Has anyone actually tried the "Zero RB" strategy Rotoviz pimps? The more I read about it the more it makes sense for my BML and im leaning towards doing it

I went 9th last year (10 team, 0.5 PPR) and snagged DT and Dez, it was nice, but the clincher was trading for Lacy after he had a few down weeks.

Lost by .5 in the championship to the guy who picked up Evans and ODB (dammit Demaryius catch a drat ball :argh:)

Not sure if I'll be doing it this year, too many stud WRs and even fewerer safe RB1s IMO.

Maybe im misunderstanding the concept but isnt this precisely the reason you do it? Hedging that everyone will cling to whatever viable RBs are available while you get all the wrs?

If anyone is curious what happened to ESPN's Fantasy Underground podcast, Christopher Harris left ESPN and has his own website and (daily) podcast. The website looks like garbage but the podcast is good.

Thanks for this. I usually don't listen to podcasts and so I'm an idiot. Does anyone know how to get this to play on android? Or is it just not compatible

I took the RSS feed and dropped it into the Podkicker app and it works fine. I use pro though so I can speed up the podcasts so YMMV.

I have somehow literally forgotten about Tavon Austin and man what a long fall for Harvin. Im almost convinced he could be a late steal or waiver superstar. Just too much talent there imo

So I just found out I've got the #1 pick in my 100 dollar league. I'm a big fan of Zero RB / WR+WR drafts but I don't think I can really justify taking Dez or Antonio with the first pick. This will probably be the only league that I take a top tier RB in and I'm really leaning towards Bell. Someone tell me I am an idiot for taking a player who will already miss two extra games with the first pick...

In the same boat and praying to GOD I get a lower round pick. Good luck but yea i don't think i could not go an rb1 in the top 4

ODB seems like a generational talent and also gets bonus points for being extremely handsome. However I couldnt imagine taking him over Brown, Dez, Julio, or Thomas

I'd rather have ODB than DT.

Kubiak is WR poison, Denver's oline took a huge hit, peyton is one year older, eli is one year wiser, ODB's hair is way cooler...

I was wavering on including DT but I remembered Kubiak's tendency to forcefeed his WR1. Of course you also are gambling on Peyton having another run in him

Hey, I owe Harry a shout out. I lost a playoff game because I didn't start him when Julio went down. He always showed up when Roddy, and Julio were not on the field.

The greatest WR handcuff ever. So weird how he was all but guaranteed to replace whatever points Roddy would get and drat near Julio every loving time

Let's give a hypothetical if you're a newly married guy and your new wife over the past year realized how much you spent on fake sports and limited you greatly

What would you guys say is one essential premium subscription?

I usually do fbg but have been less enchanted the past 2 years and really just like the draft dominator. Luckily we have the beer sheets and Chris Harris giving his poo poo out for free

Exactly, I've tried to explain to my league mates that picking first this year isn't very good. You can get a lot more "value" picking from the mid to late positions. The guy who got first opted for 4th, and everyone gave him poo poo. I thought it was a wise move. At forth you get a top tier RB, and dont have to wait so long on the round 2-3 bend.

Hell I'm trying to trade down from 6th

Yea i found it and have posted there thanks.


So im reading now that Hillman is considered "1B" to Anderson. I know Kubiak historically hasnt done timeshares, but should I run out and stash Hillman as an Anderson owner? Id probably be dropping Woodhead
