Spoeank posted:I had Wilson as my #3 QB (Luck/Rodgers/Wilson) and apparently so does ESPN so what I'm saying is I guess I need a new #3...? How much better would you feel with Wilson over like the next 10 guys? I wouldn't be mad if he fell to me, but I'll be damned if I target Russell Wilson. Brees and Manning feel like higher floor, safer picks. Cam, Tannehill, Stafford, Bradford, and Kaep all have much higher ceilings. I'm excited for Abdullah in Detroit and Agholor in Philly. I'll probably go for Jordan Matthews too. Riley Cooper is hot garbage, and whoever is the #1 receiver is fantasy gold.

I think you're better off ignoring fantasy specific news and advise for as long as possible in the offseason. I prefer checking up on real actual football news and moves, especially coaching changes. This has helped me avoid hype train gently caress bois like CJ Spiller and Montee Ball.

MrSargent posted:I can't remember if guys like Jeremy Hill and CJ Anderson were being talked about pre draft last year but I was interested in any comparable picks I could target late this year. Yes, we were beating the drum pretty hard in the 2014 thread for Jeremy Hill. Lines were drawn. Battles were fought. However, it was more Jeremy Hill is the next Jesus Christ vs. Jeremy Hill is pretty good. The closest thing to Hill in my mind is Abdullah, but the hype started early and he's going higher than Hill was going last year. Carlos Hyde is going to be a loving stud IMO. As far as being a quality runner without a defined role as full time 3 down starter, Hyde is similar to Hill last year. Hyde is such a better runner than anyone else on that roster, he'll shake out to the top, just like Hill. No one was on CJ Anderson pre-draft, but a lot of us were on Montee Ball as a lovely RB1. If you were down on Ball, Ronnie Hillman was the most obvious choice, and by the way, Hillman was very productive when healthy. Anderson only took over because Hillman got hurt. So you have Anderson, Ball, Hillman and to a lesser degree Juwan Thompson who could all become productive with playing time. That's not a guy I'm drafting in the 1st. I don't like Ball as a football player, so Hillman would be my lottery ticket there. To a much lesser degree, Frank Gore is a guy I'm watching. He's 32 and has a million carries. If he breaks down mid-season, Josh Robinson could be 2nd half type CJ Anderson guy. These are all long shots, but so was CJ Anderson. Also keep an eye on Dallas. They have a pile of poo poo at RB. If it's not Randle, I don't know who it will be, and it might not even be a guy on the roster now.

I think Emmanuel Sanders turned out to be more talented than anyone expected. There was talk last offseason because Latimer was a high draft pick and Sanders was never special in Pittsburgh. Sanders is incredible. I don't see any way Latimer overtakes him without an injury and a Kubiak offense isn't going to put up fantasy relevant numbers for WR3

Ok, I've got a keeper question. 12 team, 0.5PPR, QB/2RB/2WR/TE/1WRT, 3 Keepers, $200 Auction Keeper min is $10. There's inflation, so your keepers cost a little more each year. RB's and top talent go for substantially more in this league than the guides say. I have Demaryius Thomas for $22, Demarco Murray for $50, Jeremy Hill for $10, Ingram for $10, Randle for $10, and Kelce for $10 I'm definitely keeping Hill and Thomas. My issue is how to play my 3rd keeper. For the record, here are the available top 20 RB's that will not be kept: Arian Foster Justin Forsett Melvin Gordon whichever two of Murray/Ingram/Randle I don't keep Normally I'd keep Ingram because Murray would be a $50 or less type player anyway, but with the lack of RB talent, I could see him going for $60-70. If I keep Ingram, I can easily get a 2nd Top 10 WR to pair with Demaryius, and a top 25 WR to play at flex. I'd also have budget to grab desirable potential young studs like Abdullah and Agholor on my bench. If I keep Murray, I'm probably "stuck" with a pair of top 25's at WR2 and flex, and my bench gets thinner.

It's even worse than that, he's going in the 1st. Currently 9 overall on Fantasy Pros, RB6. Being drafted ahead of Demaryius Thomas, Julio Jones, ODB, Calvin Johnson, Matt Forte, Demarco Murray, LeSean McCoy, Jordy Nelson, and AJ Green. We have this discussion every year. It's not that I wouldn't want CJ on my team, but not in the first. You don't bank on a career year from a 1st round pick. You can replace Anderson with Spiller and I made this same argument two years ago. It actually feels very familiar, because you can take Chip Kelly RB1 and Forte at the 1st round turn this year too!

It's only preseason, but I'm higher on Ryan Mathews now. He looked really good. I will not be surprised to see something very close to 50/40/10 Demarco/Mathews/Sproles. Sproles looked awesome as always.

Foster is the perfect kind of player to draft for your bench. It's a smart move to go after as many high upside guys as possible for your bench and see who pans out IMO. Let it shake out after a few weeks and cut the Zach Sudfields of 2015 and move on. Even if you only get him for 5 weeks, that's an RB1 for 5 weeks. That's more valuable than some slightly better than replacement WR you can use 2 weeks to cover byes.

Vando posted:One thing I've found with auctions is, if most people are unfamiliar with the format, they'll tend to bid too conservatively out of the gate. If you see this and can exploit it (having solid ideas of player values is a big help, grab a Beersheet), then you could walk away with two top 5 RBs before anyone realises what happened. My auction league is in year 6, and this is still what happens, every single year. Everyone smugly avoids bidding on the first couple of expensive players, until before you know it there's one elite RB left on the board, and he goes for $TEXAS, and then suddenly a few people realize they have no RB2, so the mid-tier guys go for waaay too much, then someone panics that they won't get THEIR super sleeper (that everyone else also knows about) so they go and defeat the whole purpose of sleepers by spending real money on them. Then there's always a few forgotten players at the end who go for half their value because everyone shot their load on mid-tier players and sleepers.

Dandy Kaiser posted:Seems like a non-zero chance, and maybe even the most likely scenario from here, but I maintain that if you managed to get him in the early-to-mid second and/or you drafted well otherwise, you should still have a decent team and at least get some kind of bye week/flex production out of him. I still maintain that his ceiling is high enough that he's worrk keeping/buying low and waiting that out. Well yeah, in this scenario where the guy Fantasy Pros had going 8th overall fell to you somewhere in the teens, you'll probably be fine because you had a real 1st round pick.

I picked up Karlos Williams in my keeper league after the uneven Shady performance. Didn't know much about the guy so I finally watched some game tape. Good lord. He's just amazing. I watched some college highlights and jizzed everywhere. I also decided to watch the condensed Bills game on Gamepass. What I saw: 1. Shady has either permanently lost a little or the hammy was affecting him. His running style requires him to be inhumanly faster and twitchier than the defense, so if he's lost even a little it could get ugly. He was visibly frustrated after a few runs, just like last year when the Eagles o line was struggling. 2. Bills o line didn't look great, but ok. 3. Every time Williams touched the ball I knew before I could see the number on the jersey. He is just explosive. 4. Colts o line looked pretty bad. I would not feel good about Gore. 5. Luck made some bad throws. Forced the ball a lot. 6. AJ80 looked slow and old. Moncrief looked legit.

I don't understand the Quick love, personally I'd drop him for Perriman. It does depend on your lineup though. How strong is your flex/WR situation? If you're going to need someone at the flex during bye weeks, Beasley is a good guy to have in PPR. With Perriman, you're going to have to wait until he's healthy and then wait a few weeks to see how he's used anyway. If you don't really need any of these guys to play and they're all lottery tickets on your bench, Perriman and Quick are the highest upside guys.

Watched the Redskins game last night and I'm pretty excited about Jordan Reed. Tons of big meaty targets, and could have easily had a monster game. Cousins doesn't look as bad as I thought he would. He doesn't look *good*, but considering how porous that o-line looked, he was aight. I hope Reed can stay healthy! I believe.Crazyweasel posted:Just heard Brees is going to be out. Is it worth keeping him on bench? I picked up Dalton, and its a 12 team league so waiver isn't really stacked, but from what I saw Brees seems out of it and doesn't sound too confident in himself even if he does rehab it for a week or two... Do not drop Drew Brees. You might as well drop Dez now. I'd rather take a flyer on someone whose stock can actually improve. If you had one this earlier, you might have grabbed someone like Moncrief. David Johnson, Karlos Williams, um, maybe Tyler Lockett or Lance Dunbar, or even Dorial Green Beckham. The odds are low any of these guys do anything worthwhile this season, but at least there's a chance, and if they don't do anything by the time you hit byes and need to pick up a scrub TE or QB for one week, you can drop them and not lose any sleep.

Forever_Peace posted:You're aware that Randle is currently the RB4 in standard right now. Be careful though. That doesn't mean you can trust Randle going forward. Fantasy value and real life performance don't always line up. Sometimes real life performance can get in the way. If you could guarantee me that Randle gets 20 touches a game with that o-line for the rest of the season, I'm in, because you're right, anyone getting volume behind that line is going to put up fantasy numbers. The problem is Randle wasn't actually that good last week, and the coaching staff knows this. If he puts in a couple more fantasy good/real life bad performances, especially if the team loses, the coaches may try something new.
