I drafted CMike last year, and you're right. He's a very good sleeper.

CMike was huge part of my team last year, but I managed to trade him for a total upgrade right before he fell off a cliff.

Interesting. That is very different from a lot of the projections I saw. I can't fault him too much. He liked Treadwell as much as I did.

I feel like any ball-carrying NFL player named Treadwell gets an automatic ADP boost just from the name.

Jordan Reed last three years

Games Missed: 11
Double Digit games: 10
Games with 5 points or fewer: 15

2016 ADP: 4.04
2017 ADP: 4.08

He has 7 concussions dating back to college

Just draft Tim Tebow if you want to waste your 4th rounder so bad drat


26 of 48 games he got you five points or fewer and 10 games he got you 10 or more lmao just lmao

Reed absolutely 100% was a big part of me winning my league 2 years ago. Which of course lead to me overvaluing him last year, so hopefully this year I can be more realistic :(

My league has no waiver wire because it would be "complicated" Someone just proposed adding a keeper spot to the upcoming draft

How the gently caress do people play any fantasy sport without waivers? You're massively tilting the league in favor of people who are constantly at a desk/on their phone checking transactions.

FAAB I can live without, but everybody dropping to FA immediately? Dumb.

This is not in my opinion a good way to run a keeper league.

Yeah, you have to have inflation of some type or else it can get really, really imbalanced, really fast.

It also means you'll have a really hard time ever expanding the league/finding somebody to take over a team in case somebody drops out because all of the good players are already locked up forever.

I agree with everyone else. Sterling Shepard might be a decent 3rd option if he has a good 2nd year, otherwise Stills might get my vote.

I was going to suggest Shepard, but you wouldn't be getting much value out of that keeper price, most likely.

Also is a flat increase standard for folks? The only keeper league I play in is baseball, but we use a 25% increase over last year (rounded up.) A flat dollar increase seems like it doesn't let you really exploit value picks, while also not really punishing over-priced guys.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:

I don't like it. Reed's injury history is primarily concussions, Murray may not even be flex worthy, and in a 14 team league Henry is perfectly starter-worthy.

Reed practically won me my league in 2015 and I traded for him in 2016 and didn't necessarily regret it, but I am avoiding him entirely this year. His brain is pudding.

Best rbs, decent depth. Wrs are suspect but still serviceable, and you grabbed some developing talent. TE and QB are top 6.
I'd say you played the waiting game just right, considering you overpayed on bell and DJ by about $20. Overall, I'd give it an A-, 90/100

Getting Bell and Johnson and having more than $1 left for every other spot is a massive win in my book. God drat.

I still have one team to go, but I feel pretty good about my two teams so far.

and

The first one was auto-drafted because I got the date wrong. I'm gonna try to move Big Ben to one of the Yinz homers, but not sure if I want to shore up WR or RB more.

Second team I just outright feel good about. I pretty much have to play McFadden every week until Zeke is back, right? Also is Gurley gonna suck out loud again or what?

Is it that bad? You get their bye out of the way at a time when the rest of your team is not on bye and when your bench is healthy. In Week 11, 4 other teams will be on bye and God knows who will be injured. I think it's almost preferable.

It just means I'm almost certainly gonna lose week 1 but yeah, I'm just being petulant.

Aside from rostering a second TE, that looks pretty good to me.

I guess it makes sense given Rudolph is questionable, but then you rostered another questionable TE, so maybe not. :shrug:

Yep, I found this out pretty quickly. I could NEVER get above a C+ if I didn't draft a backup QB.

I got an A and A+ on two teams, neither of which have backup QBs.

The grading is dumb (my auto-drafted team got the lowest grade) but it isn't entirely dependent on a backup.

On the one team with a backup QB I have Big Ben and Phil Rivers, I want to try to trade one of them but I have no idea what they're worth.

My choices are:

Stay put with Cousins

And which of Rivers and Palmer would you prefer?

Yahoo 0 PPR 1QB 2WR 1RB TE 2FLX 4 bench spots

If you decide to dump Cousins, I would pick Rivers as the replacement. He seems to always be a consistent producer without much up or downside.

I like the Rams more. Their matchup this week is better and they don't have any real "must avoid" matchups coming up. @DAL in week 4 maybe but that should be a low-scoring affair. And then Weeks 6-10 starts a juicy run with Jaguars->Cardinals->Giants->Texans in a row. Playoff schedule is not ideal though (PHI, @SEA, @TEN).

Cool. I'll worry about the playoffs later if I have to.
