GUISSEPPE PIZZAPIE posted:I feel like Forsett and Anderson are both traps this year. Can anybody explain why they'd take them so high, particularly Anderson? MacheteZombie posted:Anderson's job as the starter is his to lose and the Bronco's are looking to be much more run heavy so Peyton doesn't get so worn down. I agree that Forsett looks like a trap. Anderson I'm on the fence on though, it's hard for me to justify taking him late in the 1st or early in the 2nd, but the mock's I've done so far having him going around there. I'd agree on Anderson being a trap for his first/early second round ADP due to the Bronco's worse O-line this year and the stable of backs behind him that are all pretty studly (Hillman, Thompson mainly). Not sure why you'd say Forsett is a trap, though... I'm seeing him go in 3rd/4th/5th rounds as an RB2/3 and I think he definitely has a good chance at being a serviceable RB2. What am I missing here, apart from the departure of Kubiak?

Beer, I'm sure you've been pestered about this before but do you have any plans on doing IDP sheets? I'm dipping my toes into IDP for the first time this year (along with dynasty and keeper leagues  ) and it's been a pain trying to find decent rankings that integrate IDP into offensive picks. All I see is "try to get Watt in the 6th, go DEs before DB/LB, and start taking other IDP slots when the IDP run starts" and "Go see FantasyPros for IDP rankings." Which is better than nothing but still, I have a feeling I'm going to lose a good bit of money this year (and hopefully not permanently screw myself in the dynasty/keeper leagues) from being a newbie.

Forever_Peace posted:In other "Kenny Stills is criminally underrated" news, 100% (literally all) of the rankings on fantasypros consider him to be better than his ADP (of wr70). In my mind although he certainly has the talent, I've been a bit fearful of Miami WRs for the same reason I'm fearful of Indy WRs - I have no clue which ones to take/which ones will get the work. I have a feeling if he shows up in the preseason (or other WRs flub their chances) his ADP will rise. I'll definitely try to snatch him late in more casual leagues but in competitive leagues he just seems like a gamble to me.

Parmesan Basil posted:A guy in my PPR keeper league proposed that we switch the RB2 slot into a flex slot due to the perceived lack of options there. I found it at least interesting to consider. Anyone else heard something like this in their teams? How many teams in the league? If it's 14+ I could maybe see the merit but I agree with the others - RB2 WW fun is the best fun mid-season.

Doltos posted:The cons for Lynch is that he's 29, he is a bruising back, and his reception passing game seemed to be due to the complete lack of a TE last year for the Hawks. Also career highs don't always mean future career success and he can easily regress, but all of that's pointless because Lynch is still a top 10 back in fantasy and will probably put up another 1k yards and 8+ TDs. Nothing to scoff at, I'm just arguing that he's not exactly a RB I'd take over a WR like Brown/ODB/Nelson/Thomas/Dez/Jones in my current approach to fantasy. Loss of Unger will probably hurt as well, though I don't know how good the OL depth is for the Seahawks.

Reik posted:I'm running a fun league at work, only my second year playing so I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing. I was planning this year on converting the TE position to a WR/TE flex. It feels like the TE position is more volatile than other positions once you get past the third or fourth pick, so I figure instead of mandating it you could just lump the passing TEs in with the WRs. This also allows WRs to become a bigger part of the overalls core, giving them a bigger impact without implementing a PPR. What do you guys think about this change? Personally I prefer having at least one mandatory TE slot - if you make it TE/WR flex there will be maybe 3-4 TEs ever used and nobody will want to touch any others because of the point differential. It's like the "superflex" leagues - a QB/WR/RB/TE flex essentially becomes a second QB slot because you get so many more points from them. If it's a fun casual work league, sure, but in my opinion you're essentially taking away the TE slot to give the league training wheels.

Forever_Peace posted:Stills has literally been the most efficient receiver in the nfl for two consecutive years. You expect a speedster like him (he ran a 4.38 40) to have a big yards-per-target number (he's been top-3 in two consecutive years), but simultaneously having a top-3 catch rate is unheard of. Deep balls are usually lower percentage and he's blowing away the catch rate of slot receivers and running backs. His more football-oriented performance metrics are off the charts too - he was 3rd in DVOA last year and 1st the year before that, and has been the back-to-back #1 in net expected points per target. I'm hoping Stills has a quiet year and gets punted somewhere else so he can be an absolute steal next year.

89 posted:Wait, so in a 3WR league, WRs are a little more important than usual? I've got my 3WR, 2RB, 1TE, ZeroFlex league and I'm big time questioning if I even draft a RB in the first 3 rounds (10 man) at the 7th pick. 3WR versus 2WR means your WR depth is more key, but not necessarily that you should wait on your RB1. So to me it means that if I go RB -> WR/WR -> RB and I'm sitting in the third looking at Cooks/Hopkins/Matthews against Miller/Ingram/Morris and I honestly can't decide, the 3WR/2RB vs. 2WR/2RB might make it less of a coin flip and more "well I need more WRs for the slots anyway so I'll lean WR." (EDIT: Personally in a 2RB/2WR league in this situation I'd lean RB in the third as I think there's some pretty good depth at WR with the likes of Wallace & Charles Johnson, Perriman & Steve Smith, Landry, Quick, etc in later rounds) However I would still suggest grabbing an RB in the first three rounds as IMHO the RB quality takes a nose dive in the mid-late 3rd round after Miller/Ingram/Morris/Gore/Stewart are gone and you're staring at rookies (Gordon, Gurley, Yeldon) or backups/injury-prone guys (Jennings, Spiller, Abdullah, Bernard). Of course there are caveats to all draft suggestions. If you want to load up on WR first three rounds and try to trade for an RB1/RB2 later on (or place your bets on waivers), go right ahead.

Sanity check for y'all: Work league, 12 team Yahoo that will HOPEFULLY become a 0.5 PPR (right now it's 0.5 point per receiving first down). I'm pick 4/12. I'll see how things shake out but if it goes Charles-Bell-Peterson I'll probably take Brown over Lacy/Lynch/whoever. However after some review, I noticed that the Steelers have the WORST WR/QB strength of schedule this year while Julio is looking downright rosy. I've thought about taking Julio as the 4th pick (his health scares me a bit, though), also thought about trading draft spots up to 8th/9th and hoping Julio falls that far, or I could just be overthinking it because SOS prior to the season often means jack diddly and Brown is drat near matchup-proof regardless. Anyone worrying about Brown/Bell (they're 26th in RB SOS) regression this year due to SOS, maybe making them not play up to their ADP?

So is the thinking now that Cobb will stay in the slot but still get a slight uptick in targets, Adams will fill Jordy's role and be "the guy" to get most redzone looks, Eddie Lacy will get a slight uptick in receptions and... Jeff Janis? Ty Montgomery? Richard Rodgers? will be the unrosterable 3rd WR/TE out there who will make or break your DFS selections? So Cobb in the early/mid 2nd, Adams as a value pick somewhere after round 5? Amergin fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Aug 24, 2015 |

Franks Happy Place posted:Agreed. When you are taking handcuffs, do not prioritize the handcuff to your guy, prioritize the best situation and talent. Counterpoint: If you grab Bell and snipe Ronnie Hillman and Bell goes down while CJA keeps rocking, you now have a handcuff burning a hole on your bench, an injured guy burning a hole on your bench and an RB1 slot that you probably don't have anyone to fill in north of 60 cents on the dollar. I get your point that you shouldn't limit yourself to handcuffs in YOUR situation if they're not going to give you as much RoI, but you also need to factor in the injury risk for your first round/second round picks. If you pick L. Bell I think you should really prioritize grabbing D. Williams because Bell has a decent chance of being injured again. If you grabbed AP, I would laugh at you (and probably be proven wrong mid-season) for grabbing McKinnon over Hillman or Knile Davis.

Dandy Kaiser posted:Just don't draft handcuffs. Take fliers that you can cut if they don't pan out instead and don't tie down a spot on your bench to a guy who over 80% of the time is going to sit there and do nothing for you. Truth - especially since most leagues the lower-level handcuffs (D. Williams) will go undrafted. Franks Happy Place posted:I actually think McKinnon is one of the highest-upside handcuffs in football this year. Do you think he'll take the redzone duties and stop being sniped by Asiata? That's my biggest worry with that backfield is if AP goes down, it may turn into an unpredictable "RBBC" like it was last year. I personally think McKinnon is a good-to-great RB but those Asiata TDs had me shaking my fist more than once.

Someone talk some sense into me? My RBs/bench: L. Bell, J. Hill, Zac Stacy, Charles Sims, Orleans Darkwa, David Johnson, Matt Jones, David Cobb, Thomas Rawls My WRs/bench: Jordan Matthews, Eddie Royal, Nelson Agholor, Cecil Shorts, Bruce Ellington, Jaelan Strong, Justin Hardy

He'll either be a wonderful RB2 for you or that offense will crash and burn and he'll get injured or otherwise burn with it. The main knock I have on him is if I draft him even as an RB2, in my mind it's pretty critical to get Cameron Artis-Payne at the tail-end of the draft.
