Mariota is likely to do better, but Winston has a much higher floor due to volume, weapons, and system

I feel like this exact Cincy scenario: Two deep ball threats, one decent flat receiver, and a shaky running game... is why Sky and Cloud coverage was invented. Unless Cincy's offensive line somehow uses spit to come together, I don't see Ross being a threat until like 2-3 years, once he gets his routes down. Mike Williams, 10 times out of 10. Rivers can find him enough to get him like 800 yars and maybe 4 TD

Silly Burrito posted:I could swear I could do this last year, but how do you see the rosters that people had last year on an NFL.com league? Trying to figure out who will be kept as keepers, and all the rosters are currently empty. When I click history, it just gives me last year's winners and a few random stats. Remember last year, when drafting some guy (I forget whom) would freeze the draft, and since he was ranked pretty well ANY draft with an autopick team would inevitably crash.

Fork of Unknown Origins posted:I need a sanity check here. I just got an offer (dynasty, 2 RB 2 WR 3 Flex) of Davante Adams plus Gore plus 2.5 for Hyde and CJA. This would leave me with the following RBs: Gore, Perkins, Powell, Burkhead, West, Sproles. My WRs though would be: OBJ, Keenan Allen, Jordan Matthews, Adams, Crowder, Funchess, Aiken, Sharpe. Seems to good to be true? Adams in a dynasty for a buncha mediocre doodoo, AND you get some other stuff...

Thanks. So its like head to head in the playoffs, except there are multiple teams facing each other . So head to head to head to head to head...

Okay, I've checked it all out.  I will set up a Scott Fish Bowl for everyone on SA I have tons of event planning experience, nearly two decades of fantasy football commisioneering, and I'm good at recruiting a large number of people to do something. Plus I just like learning and executing the logistics of large events (my two favorite hobbies are event planning and fantasy football). However, before I can make a thread and really kick this thing off, the league needs a name. Something catchy and marketable. It would be great if it wasn't SA-inside-joke specific, because I will want to recruit some of the pundits I know, but that's not a hard rule if someone has a great idea. If it helps, we're going to probably mirror the scoring settings and playoff settings of this year's SF bowl, although I'm shooting for 60 people not 600 So... what should we call this extremely large league?

Almost done hammering out these guidelines for the Goon Fish Bowl, and I have a question: The 2017 SFB scoring settings say "extra 1.5 points per first down for tight ends." Does this mean tight ends get 2.5 point bonus for a first down (the standard 1 point bonus plus an extra 1.5 points)? Or is just the standard point bonus every RB/WR gets for a first down, plus an extra 0.5?

89 posted:So, even though my WRs are Julio, Baldwin, & Alshon, I'm starting to think RB-RB might have been optimum. I didn't feel comfortable with guys like Crowell in the 3rd, I think that's too high. I could have possibly landed Devonta Freeman or LeSean McCoy and I was one pick away from DeMarco Murray. So let's say McCoy & Murray. Then I'd have Alshon and then there's plenty of high quality WRs left. Interesting. I feel the exact opposite. There are tons of deep rookies and un-sexy picks this year to round out a solid receiver core. Gore, Mixon, Crowell (but not in the 3rd, agreed), Perkins, Ingram, Powell, Gillislee are all guys I'd be proud to have as my RB1 if I didn't pick an RB in the first 3 rounds. Like Papes said, I'm finding my best mocks are where I don't end up drafting an RB until round 4 (although I still follow my strict "best player available" rule for the first three rounds)

Papes posted:I also like how nobody takes into consideration DJ's knee injury because he didn't miss any fantasy relevant games. If that injury happened in week 12 I doubt he he would still be consensus 1.01. It's that he had all offseason to recover from a straightforward MCL sprain. If he had gotten injured week 12, he would have had even longer to recover and might be even more solidly entrenched at #1. It's not like he tore something

Sataere posted:The point is it only illustrates the fragility of running backs. And guys who get hurt during the fantasy season usually find their ADP takes a hit. I suspect it makes people feel like they are more prone to get injured, which makes it really feel arbitrary that DJ didn't take a hit. I feel like knee-jerk reactions to players getting injured during the fantasy season was more of a thing 10 years ago. Today, everyone is all over metrics and injury reports. Case in point: AP was a consensus #1, then tore his mcl after the fantasy season was over, and his ADP dropped like 20 places. The only difference between his situation and David Johnson's was severity of injury: which is my point(DJ didn't fall because his injury isnt serious)

Thanks! Similarly, Jamaal Charles was a consensus top 3 pick in 2012, despite burning owners by going out for season week 1 of 2011. There's just too much info out there for most owners to have a short term memory about January injuries versus earlier ones

ifuckedjesus posted:Thoughts on Ty Montgomery this season? Such an interesting pick. Wait until late pre-season to decide whats going to happen in GB? Too gadgety. A pass-happy offense like GB wants an RB who can north-south three yards on command, everything else is just a bonus. Although Ty is stocky, he just doesn't seem to have the shoulders to fit into the "first down with a cloud of dust" game plan. Now I'm going to go watch Packers games to make sure this isn't me talking out of my butt

Leperflesh posted:Last year, Ty Montgomery had 77 carries for an average of 5.9 yards per carry. Granted that was use as a gadget carrier, but still, that's Jamaal Charles-like efficiency. This brings up a good question: Is there a site that does stats like number of rushes that go for negative yards? Perhaps just lists every Ty Montgomery rush? Because it's super good to know if his 5.9 yards was without consistent deviation, or if it was like "lost 2 yards, lost 2 yards, lost 2 yards, gained 30 yards" when it comes to figuring out if he is dependable.

Papes posted:Why would anyone draft Paul Perkins when J Stew is still available? Giants have shown supreme confidence in Perkins. Carolina has shown they plan to take a lot of carries away from stewart. Stewart is always injured, and he's a year older Perkins has had a year to learn the giants schemes Teams can guard against the run with Carolina, because they have one of the worst receiving cores Giants have one of the best receiving cores, I doubt Perkins will ever see eight in a box Giants going to score a lot, perkins is probably their best weapon inside the 5 Carolina's short yardage scores will be divvied up between Cam, their fullbacks, and whichever rb is on the field I'm not on the hype train. PErkins is going to have an unexciting year where he finishes as like he 24th best RB. Which is great value for where he is going, as Spoeank mentioned. I value floor in my RB2, and Perkins definitely seems to have a much higher floor than Stewart, who might end up as an afterthought in the Panthers plans Drunk Nerds fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Jul 9, 2017 |

Ayudo posted:Stewart and Mcaffery are going to be a Lacy and Starks duo this year, and I'd bet you can pencil Stewart in for the same 200 inefficient touches he always gets. Also, Stewart had 9 Tds last year in 13 games and Mike Tolbert is going to camp in Buffalo. Yes to most of that. Although, The statement being debated was "Why would anyone draft Paul Perkins when J Stew is still available?" So I think you're agreeing with my rebuttal even though it sounds like you are disagreeing with it. Has Ingram been falling to the sixth for you? That's insane. He's like a legitimate back, not like stewart and perkins, who are "I guess I need someone" territory
