Silly Burrito posted:A question for you that came up amongst a few players in our league. 14 team league, starting over from scratch this year but will be two keepers. Your first round pick should be someone who is a proven commodity. The definition of "proven commodity" will vary per person, but arguably a top 10 producer in 2014 who is in the same team, scheme, coach, injury-free, etc would fit the bill. You definitely don't want to be speculating in the first two rounds. It's bad enough when you pick a proven commodity (Graham last year) and he busts miserably.

Forever_Peace posted:"Hard Counting" A couple reasons: - I forgot exactly what kind of wideout Stills is, but remember that Tanny cannot accurately throw the long ball. He is esssentially a younger Alex Smith until he proves us differently. Roethlisberger made Mike Wallace a fantasy stud; in Miami he was worthless. If Stills is a burner, avoid. If he's more a possession receiver, then he has more potential. - He is not Miami's WR1. Jarvis Landry is. This could obviously change but that's what it is right now.

Franks Happy Place posted:Dez Bryant isn't 30 and played football last year I'm struggling to reconcile the AP scenario. Some see his 2014 as a year in which he got older. I'm leaning towards it being a year that he didn't expose his body to the rigors of the an NFL season. So you can't look at his age in the same light as data that historically assumes that 30-year old RBs played in their 29th year.

Gyshall posted:Watch that gif again. Instead of going through the hole blocked for him, he bounces to the outside and ends up out of bounds. Just one example, but watching him last year was extremely frustrating - he did this often. That plan looks like a planned counter to me. (from QB perspective) QB fakes left, switches ball to the right, McCoy takes his fake step left before turning right and heads straight to the 8 hole. Even the RG blocks away from the 8 once he meets the MLB. e: already beaten it seems - not that it should shake up the negative analysis, but Richie Incognito was a Pro Bowler in his time with the Dolphins. I think you just threw him out there for the shock value of his name. - You listed Joique Bell instead of Leveon Bell at third Suave Fedora fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Aug 1, 2015 |

Benne posted:Bill O'Brien is a "character guy" fetishist so that pretty much rules out Rice and CJ. Good call. On a related note, nothing makes me  more than going through the Roto blurbs and finding out about a significant injury via a secondary blurb it created. Case in point was reading about PT and Lawfirm being courted by the Texans for some Godforsaken reason. Who had an early draft and drafted Foster? Inquiring minds want to schadenfreude.

Don't know about his pass protection or injury history, but if the opportunity's there the price may be right. Polk was a Pretty Good backup for Shady when both played in PHI. He was basically Ben Tate when Tate had to backfill for Foster a few years back.

ZIGfried posted:Pulling my hair out over a keeper decision. Kelce has zero competition, has looked great in camp, is committed to being "the guy" through the air. Between him and Jamaal Charles they will constitute the vast majority of offense that can be squeezed out of Popgun Smith DAL front office doesn't hold Randle in high regard. Their plan this year was to use as much of a committee as DMC's health would allow and address deficiencies in the draft (didn't happen) and free agency (major wildcard). roto posted:Cowboys VP Stephen Jones is leaving the door open for the team to add a free agent running back if needed.

Dandy Kaiser posted:I still doubt he sees over 100 targets, honestly. And of those, I doubt that more than 75 are legitimately catchable. I'm willing to bet he doesn't clear 70 catches. He was 3 catches short of 70 last year. I'd ask if you're sure about making that bet but you're already  and your toxx falls under 1ppr by the way as you didnt specify.Also, no QB last year threw for more than a 70% completion rating.

SF's defense is an absolute garbage fire, and Smith may have actually done himself a favor by avoiding the entire season because he was just about the only good player left for offensive linemen to focus on shutting down. Oh trust me, I didn't forget. I just didn't care any more after the resignations starting rolling in like a hot wind. Aldon Smith is a grade A idiot and maybe some day he'll grow up, before he kills someone.

coronaball posted:I'm in a new league this year: 12 teams, fairly standard scoring/rosters other than 6 pt passing TDs and small bonuses for 100 yards rushing/receiving. We also have 1 IDP. In what round should I start thinking about drafting the IDP, 10 or so? Whenever everyone else does? And is this standard IDP scoring? It sounds like that league is just playing with the idea of going full IDP. Those scoring settings are not very engaging. Sacks are typically between 2-3 points and give elite defensive lineman a chance to complete with good linebackers. If you're not the first to pick an IDP (like Lavonte David) then don't bother grabbing an IDP until the end, then stream them the rest of the year until you land the magical Unknown Stud (last year it was Chris Borland). Check the Goontier thread for our take on IDP. It's base enough to make IDP more than an afterthought, and we just amped up the touchdowns so that big plays IRL become big plays for fantasy.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:How does it compare to this scoring system which is a minor tweak of the PFF one done a few years ago? I'm looking at IDP scoring for the cheater league. Just my preference here, but that system you linked to is over-powered. TDs in any situation should rightfully merit 6 points (including any TDs scored by an IDP), but to award 4 points for forced fumbles and sacks is too much. Those things don't actually put points on the board and shouldn't be worth more than a field goal, which actually puts points on the board. Personally, I like IDP when they are not quite as powerful as offensive skill positions, but still dangerous enough to swing a game in your favor (thank u Robert Quinn for the memories).

MrSargent posted:So last year was my first year playing fantasy football (don't ask me why it took me so long I have no idea). I felt like I drafted well, played the waiver wire well and then lost in the championship. This sounds like an 8-team league. If not, you should have no trouble returning to the SuperBowl. You didn't do anything wrong, sometimes luck goes against you in the end. poo poo happens. Fantasy happens. That said, if I recall correctly, Brady last year was available in the late rounds if not on the wire. I'm not sure how much further you could have waited for a QB. I usually grab a QB around Round 6-7 and grab a backup later on. There is a lot of value out there in Stafford, Romo, Big Ben, Tannehill. Having Mathews as your RB2 is to ask for disaster, but Bradshaw was solid for most of the year, so he was effectively your RB2 last year. Matthews is not particularly elusive and draws contact enough to where people think he's injury-prone (but he's not. Each injury is pretty much a new or freak one). Grab an elite RB1 if you can, and then a slew of potential breakouts and hope one breaks out enough for you.

Cervixalot posted:Had my first ever dynasty startup auction draft yesterday after months of planning and anticipation. After some technical hiccups, we switched to a manual auction system and it was a blast. We have another thread for team ratings. Your RB1 position is dogshit. Gore as your effective RB1 may hurt more than help. You really need some luck that Joique won't be lead back for long and that the Jets take the training wheels off of Ivory's usage like they should have last season. Your WR2 leaves a bit to be desired but you have a slew of promising WR3s. Obviously strong at TE and if Donnell blows up early like last season, try to trade him away for an RB1.5 like Miller.
