I'd consider Matthews, he has some decent upside for the tail end of the draft. I'm probably not drafting Watkins unless he falls a long way.

Forever_Peace posted:The problem with going deep against a strong front is that you need a line capable of buying you the time to hold it that long against above average pressure, and a QB capable of making the throw. I'm not convinced the Rams have either. Sure, but they have a strong screen game with Austin to help balance.

Butter Hole posted:The reports I'm seeing today says Luck should be ready week 1, and if not it should only be 1-2 weeks where he's out. Hilton still pulled over 1200 yards and a handful of TDs in 2015 when Luck only played 7 games (granted I think that was with Hasselbeck). I'm a bit worried about him but I think he's good value for where he's being drafted. That's a good point. I'm staring down the possibility of Hilton at 1.4 in a weird keeper league and that's a decent stat to keep in mind.

I have a deep keeper/pseudo dynasty draft this weekend and am trying to finalize my 6 keepers. It's a 12 team .5ppr starting QB, 2RB, 2WR, W/T flex, TE, Superflex, and assorted IDP. And I need to keep 6 of these guys. No real penalty, just different lengths of time they can be kept. Philip Rivers Tyrod Taylor Allen Robinson Lamar Miller Todd Gurley Dez Bryant Jamison Crowder Sterling Shepard Willie Snead Delanie Walker I trimmed the guys with no value. I'm drafting at 4 and have a strong chance of a guy like Hilton or a QB in the Manning level, and a low to moderate chance of Wilson or Ryan making it to me. The obvious option is to keep the top 6 guys listed. The problem is I sorta don't like them anymore. I keep staring at at and thinking "Sure, Hilton, Dez, ARob is a good receiving corps." Man. I'm going to be staring at my team all season and hating myself for rolling out gurley and ARob aren't I?

Somehow managed to move some stuff for Baldwin for a lot less than expected. I can ditch ARob and trot out Dez, TY, and Baldwin all year and just laugh and laugh.

Finished first of 2 drafts today. 12 team, keep six, superflex with a bonus W/T spot and light IDP. QB: Philip Rivers, Tyrod Taylor, DeShone Kizer RB: Lamar Miller, Todd Gurley, Ty Montgomery, CJ Anderson, Marlon Mack WR: Dez Bryant, Doug Baldwin, T.Y. Hilton, Jarvis Landry, Jeremy Maclin Curtis Samuel TE: Jack Doyle K: Wil Lutz IDP: Everson Griffen, Deion Jones, Christian Kirksey,Tony Jefferson The keeper settings deliberately favor younger players, and basically all the QBs are kept. On the whole, I'm happy.

MacheteZombie posted:shameless self quote. For whatever it's worth, I think pretty well. I have a personal bias against Keenan Allen and Abdullah after drafting them last year. My initial thought was that I'd want more receiver depth, but really that's mitigated by all the flex spots. I think with that many flexes, it all comes down to how well you play it during the year. You've got enough upside that it should be competitive.

I'm 12th out of 12 pick though 🙄 WRs drop in relation to RB, though I think Julio and AB would go in the first still. Guys who get more passes than yards drop off as well. Fitz is a notable example, top 5 in receptions last year, doesn't make the top 20 in yards. Grab a cheat sheet, really.

You can be my spirit animal. 14 team auction this weekend, everyone not only drafted but overpaid for 2 QBs. There's one guy with Tyrod, Wilson and Palmer. Another who spent $50 on Luck and Ryan. Brees and Stafford. None of them beat the guy who drafted Kizer, Watson, and Manning. I wound up Wentz as well. At least I beat the guy who'll be trotting out McCown.

Contrariwise, I'd say if you don't like him, don't take him. Evans and McCoy are both going to do well. Last year Evans was a 6 points better than OBJ in my .5ppr anyways. That's basically even and Evans only stands to widen the gap if OBJ misses any time.

coronaball posted:I'm stuck in an 8 man league that can't attract more people. I was thinking to make it so everyone doesn't have a superteam, we'd do the following. Expanding the lineup is definitely one way to do it. I'd basically add 1 RB, 1 WR and probably a W/T flex and things even out a good bit. Even a QB or Superflex is fine, I'd think. You could limit the bench of you wanted to, that can force interesting choices. I don't think adding 1 IDP does much of anything. I'm in a 12 teamer that does 4 and even that still leaves good options open.

Depends on whether I thought I was more likely to get a better QB or RB at that spot. In a vacuum, I favor 2 QB, but I'd go through and take a look at who everyone else is likely to keep and see who you might get in your spot and use that to inform my decision.

In my 14 team league, .5PPR, QB 2RB, 2WR, TE, W/R/T flex, K, IDP I got an interesting offer. Derrick Henry for DeSean Jackson. Currently I have: RB: Freeman, Fat Rob, Henry, Duke Johnson, Rawls, Kamara WR: Hilton, Tate, Adams, Marvin Jones, Lockett, John Ross I've been regretting drafting Marvin Jones ever since and I feel like I can kick him to the curb. On the other hand, RBs are not particularly deep.

Our league is "Fractional" which is just "Standard" no-PPR with decimals. Yeah, I think they changed the default league to .5 PPR. So while "Standard" still means no PPR the default league is now PPR. On the whole, I think you're team is pretty good, but I'd rather not have the extra TE and QB. The RBs are a definite strength but you're pretty iffy at WR.

I think he's the only WR on the Jets who has ever started anywhere. That's gotta be worth something. Probably more than Seattle where he's presumably behind Baldwin and Graham (and maybe Lockett). I, um, still wouldn't be running out for Jets WRs.
