2 keeper league and you give up the round projected to go in.

I have LeVeon Bell who I'm keeping so there goes my 1st round pick, but I'm not sure if I should keep another player.

Rankings are based off ESPN top 200 and here are my other options. Non-ppr league and 6 td -2 isn't for qb's

Carr - 9th round
Ware - 6th round
Fitz - 5th round
Hill - 5th round
Graham - 8th round
Crowder - 6th round

2nd keeper has to be from round 4 or later so those are my options. Anyone worth keeping and giving up a draft pick for or should I just let it ride only with Bell?

That sounds awful. The whole fun part of a keeper league is you get to keep guys for less than their market value.

Why even have keepers then?

It's a step in the right direction. Compared to how it used to be where you could keep any two players and didn't have to give up any draft picks.

I think Carr or Graham are solid keeper choices from a value standpoint. Gun to my head, I probably keep Graham. You can get a QB late, but top five TE in the 8th makes life easier.

Graham. I debated Ware as well. 4For4's rushing expectation series is very high on him.


pubic works project posted:

I think Ware. Now you can go for WR/BPA in the 2nd round since you have a stud in Bell and a solid RB/Flex in Ware.

I ended up going Graham. I didn't want to gamble a 5th on Ware and his backup looming. Would rather gamble an 8th on Graham.

Appreciate all the help.

Signing up for some fantasy info websites gave me access to the Draft Analyzer.

Never used it (or something like it) before.

Is it worth utilizing?

Pros?

Cons?

I've run a few mock drafts on it with my current league settings, but can't really notice much during a mock.

I'd stick with beer sheets. They have been pretty accurate and have found some nice value picks later in drafts.

I've stared at these sheets and think I understand most of it, except for why certain players are shaded. I originally thought it was showing tiers, but that doesn't make sense to me since for example DJ & EE are shaded but Bell isn't.

So if someone could explain what the shading of players means and where I can find tier rankings on beersheets that would be a huge help.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:

The shading is indeed tiers. The disparity in shading is to indicate where each tier is. So every time it goes from gray to white (or white to gray) that means a new tier has started. Sometimes a player is a tier of their own.

That makes sense. Now the entire sheet is understood and will definitely be used. Thanks for putting the work in on these and if I do win make the money (instead of coming in 4th like usual) I'll definitely donate.

Oh I don't care. Just throwing in some news since it's dead for me at work.

Stuff like this is why I like drafting week 3 of the pre-season. There's always injuries and people getting released.

At this point I really think Mathews is irrelevant. I can't see any teams that could use him as a starting RB.

He will be a Denver Bronco or Baltimore Raven by end of the week.

I was just kidding about him being my sleeper pick

What are everyone's thoughts on Ted Ginn this year?

I've always stayed away from him because he isn't consistent, but being on the Saints and them needing to replace 110+ targets with Cooks gone, is he worth a 10th-12th round pick if I miss out on Thomas or Snead earlier?

Our league is a measly .1 ppr if that actually changes anything.

2. Am I the only one down on Ajayi and Howard? I just can't bring myself to draft a potential one year wonder on the league's worst offense that'll face nothing but stacked boxes, aka Gurley last year (Howard). Then Ajayi, dude only had a few big games that inflated his stats. Granted, they were BIG games. And Gase tends to lean on a lead cowbell back. But, I just can't do it in the 1st or 2nd. Although, I know some people are crowning Ayaji to be the steal that Lamar Miller :barf: was supposed to be last year (that I fell for). I'd rather have DeMarco Murray over Ajayi and Howard.

The only thing about say, drafting Freeman and Murray, is that you're gonna have to burn higher picks for Henry and Coleman. BUT, do that and you're RB1 & 2 spots are set with two RB1's.

Every mock draft I've done has one of these as my pick and I hate both decisions. I somewhat feel better about Howard than I do Ajayi though since Howard at least has a really good line. But I'm also the guy who got burned by Gurley last year sooo I pray both are gone by the time I actually pick.

Hey guys, the ISO:FT beer league is looking for 2-4 more players to join us for season 4! The basic premise is that instead of traditional dues, every person pledges a box of a minimum $50 worth of local craft beer. At the end of the season, everyone ships their boxes to the winners. If you've never done beer trading or anything that's shouldn't be a problem, there is plenty of time before you'll actually need to ship and we can show you the ropes.

As far as league settings, it's pretty standard .5 PPR QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1 RB/WR, 1 TE, 1 Def, 1 K.

Yeah and I refuse to trade with those idiots. I'd much rather have a solid team with a mediocre QB. I'm just going to roll with Wentz until either someone new pops up or I can find a great deal.

This is how I've approached it the last 5 years with decent success.

This year like I said previously took Luck in 8th and Tyrod in 15th (since I might need a week 1, 2, 3,...16 starter).

Except everyone is telling me Tyrod will be garbage which I don't fully believe (yet).

Cutler... Siemian,and Bradford are all on the wire. Any of those a better option since it looks like I'll have to play my QB2?

I'd like some advice on my keepers.

The league is 10 teams, 0.5 PPR. Roster is QB, WR, WR, TE, RB, RB, flex, K, DEF, six bench slots. I'm drafting #9 in a snake draft. We get two keepers, price is previous year's draft round minus one, or round 15 for guys acquired off waivers. My lock is Le'Veon Bell, for the price of my first round pick (was lucky enough to get him in round 2 last year because of the suspension). For the other, I'm considering these guys (pick cost in brackets):

Derek Carr (11)
Marcus Mariota (12)
Justin Tucker (13)
Ty Williams (15)
Thomas Rawls (9)
Greg Olsen (3)

I really like Mariota in round 12, and think Carr would be fine in 11 but like him less. Both guys seem better than other QBs to be had in those rounds, but QB looks stacked this year. I also kind of like Tucker, after seeing him go as high as round 9 in a few mock drafts. For reference, I want to spend less time managing my team / streaming this year. Is Williams worth a flier with Keenan Allen / Travis Benjamin back to full? Can Rawls beat out Lacey for carries? Is round 3 too high for Olsen, as good as he is? So many questions.

Mariota or Williams if you have to choose one.

In a 10 man there will be plenty available in those rounds so I'd honestly not take any.

My league has a keeper rule that allows you to keep a player for one round earlier than he was drafted the previous year. If you're prepared to carry an injured player on your list all year (we even have an IR slot) you can keep a player even if he never hit the field.

One guy in our league secured Jordy Nelson for a 13th Round Pick two years ago and has basically locked himself into the championship for as long as he can keep him.

Are there any players this year with X term injuries/on the Injured Reserve list that I can target late in the draft for some mega value the following year?

I agonized on Marshawn over Crowell. Tyreek seduced me with the return yards and big play ability. I chose Sproles over Jamaal Williams, that may have been dumb in 0 PPR, even with the return yards.

My team's draft was today. I think I'm mostly happy with my team.



Snake draft, I was 10th in line. The first pick in the draft was Le'Veon Bell and the second was David Johnson, in fact the first four picks were RBs, and half of us grabbed one as soon as we could. I went RB first round for Devonta Freeman, and when my pick came up in round 2 and Gronk was still there I had to take a chance on him.

I feel like I'm weakest at WR, since I didn't take one until round 4, but there's usually a pretty decent amount of WRs available, unlike TEs and RBs, so I should be okay I hope.

I'd drop yeldon, sims, kaep, and amendola. I'm in 3 12 man snake draft leagues no one has a bench this weak.

drat I should have let someone draft for me. I was so tired I wasn't even marking people off on beer sheets thinking I had some sleepers since most I drafted against were idiots (10 man league 0 ppr - kickers started going in round 7)...

I butchered this draft up I think...

8th Pick:

1 - J. Jones
2 - M. Evans
3 - D. Cook
4 - K. Hunt
5 - TY Hilton
6 - D. Thomas
7 - A. Jeffery
8 - D. Martin
9 - J. Crowder
10 - L. Blount (right after this pick 13 straight QB's picked so I knew I was going to be reaching and screwed)
11 - C. Palmer
12 - D. Walker
13 - D. Parker
14 - NYG
15 - Some kicker from being forced too.

10 man leagues make it tough for me to judge but any suggestions?

People like this are still available:

RB's:
Duke Johnson
C.J. Prosise
Latavius Murray
Jonathan Williams
Aaron Ripkowski
DeAndre Washington
Matt Forte
James Conner
Jacquizz Rodgers
Rex Burkhead

WR's:
Decker
Coleman
R. Matthews
J. Matthews
J. Brown
T. Lockett
A. Thielen
M. Jones
