Zauper posted:That is a hot take. I think barkley will be overdrafted for his performance this year. Too many mouths to feed on that offense. Too many mouths to feed? For the Giants? Without OBJ last year, the only offense they outproduced was the Browns. With Benjamin back, they now have 2 mouths to feed. With Zeke I worry a bit about the lack of any real receiving answer for DAL. On the other hand, it's pretty widely acknowledged that Dez hasn't been good for a couple of years, so I wonder how much that'll really impact things. Hurns doesn't seem like the guy to open it all up, but he's been a 1000 yard receiver more recently than Bryant.

Mikey Purp posted:You're also forgetting Evan Engram who was and will continue to be a very integral part of that offense, and Sterling Shepard who Did Things in the few games he played last season. In the end it's really impossible to project out what the Giants offense is going to look like this year by using last year as a baseline because the entire coaching staff and a shitton of the roster has turned over. I see them playing out a little bit like the Saints offense traditionally does in that they have a stacked offensive roster filled with guys who all have the potential for a top 5 performance on any given week, but you'll never know which one is going to pop. I guess it depends on what you call a mouth to feed. I mean, those guys exist and can catch balls (and can be worthwhile fantasy assets), but pretty clearly demonstrated last year that they're not the players that can be The Guy. The Giants let ~220 carries go this offseason and will give Barkley every chance in the world to be The Guy.

Mikey Purp posted:Define "stacked" then? I mean, they don't have a superstar at every skill position but that is nearly impossible in the modern NFL. Assuming that Saquon is even half of what he is hyped up to be, the Giants will be rolling out an elite WR1, elite RB and good/maybe elite TE. That's as good or better than some of the best offenses in the league. I agree that Eli is past his prime, but he can still make plays when the pocket doesn't collapse within a second of snapping the ball and accordingly there have been a lot of moves to shore up the O-line this off-season. The big difference between the Giants and the Saints, Falcons and Steelers is that the Saints, Falcons and Steelers have quarterbacks. Eli put up his lowest yardage in a decade last year, and his second lowest TD total since his first year. They have more receiving pieces, but given Eli's trajectory, expecting an offense like the Jags last year seems pretty likely to me.

RCarr posted:Eli was fine the year before. Giants just had the worst O-line in the league last year. As well as losing their elite WR1. As well as having a non-existent running game. As well as having a terrible coach who lost his locker room. I mean, he was better in 2016, but it was still a drop off from his highs of 14 and 15. I guess you can hope it's a 2 year aberration and not a 37 year old QB starting to slide.

I'm not sure how feasible it'd be, but I think it'd be really neat. I mean, realistically, you'd only have to do it as a starting lineup, or maybe starting lineup +1 or something if you want to accommodate drafting injury concerns.

My favorite right now is probably Gesicki, he's a combo of a high pick with opportunity. Hurst is another (but I secretly believe in the Baltimore TE Curse). Opportunity-wise, it's worth mentioning Schultz for the Cowboys maybe. I'm curious about Akins for the Texans. The Eagles traded up for Goedert, but Ertz seems locked up for awhile there. Conklin is the  basketball player.

While not great, in a 2 QB league where you have no playable QBs, moving down 1 pick and swapping Kelce for Jameis makes sense. He can still get a good RB or WR at 1.02 or even go for Darnold or Rosen or whatever. Trading a 1.10 for JuJu+Howard mightn't be crazy. I think that's the bit I don't like.

I think I've got them ordered Collins, Mack, Johnson, Cohen. Collins and Mack (in that order, IMO) are the ones with the best chance to lock up the lion's share of that job. Johnson had a real good role last year, but with the addition of Hyde and Chubb (and maybe Landry eating up short targets) it's hard to tell how that all shakes out. To elaborate on my Cohen dislike from earlier, I think he's going to be unpredictably boom and bust. It's hard for me to envision a small dude like that having a huge role, but he can certainly be explosive. Fundamentally, I agree though, whichever you pick will be wrong.

Drunk Nerds posted:It's slow in here, let's argue! DJ is a steal. McKinnon will disappoint at 36. I have Lenny 4nets above CMC. Henry and Lewis being 15 seems to just be a complete punt on valuing them. I think Penny and Sony both wind up higher than they are now. Edelman seems low. Benjamin too. I'm not sure how to value Edelman, but even missing 4 games he'll likely outscore anyone in his immediate neighborhood pricewise.

Zauper posted:I think paying over 30% -- nearly 35% -- of your budget for any player is an insane amount in any league. 12 players also feels 'small' for a 12 team league, and starter numbers matter. That's pretty typical for the very top dudes though. I pulled up my 14 team auction from last year and Bell, DJ, and Brown went in the low 70s, and there were a handful more in the 60s. I went back for the last several years and even when we were a 12 teamer, it wasn't unusual to have several guys going in the 60s with one or two hitting the 70s. That's just the nature of the beast.

It seems unlikely that Rodgers will suddenly decide to start throwing to his TE. Combined, the Packers TEs caught 30 balls last year. Neither one caught more than the WR4 or the top 2 pass catching RBs, one of whom didn't play half the season.

Frustrated posted:My main league is discussing swapping to a super-flex this season and I'm looking for a bit of advice. When you have a superflex slot do you just replace your normal RB/WR/TE slot with a superflex? Do you add a superflex spot to the starting roster in addition adding an extra starter? Also, does anyone have an opinion on limiting rostered QBs to 2 or 3 to ensure the whole league has a shot at 2 or do you just let the market decide? My league with a superflex replaced the RB/WR/TE flex (and added a WR/TE flex). We also capped rostered QBs at 3.

So I'm in a superflex league and can keep six. It's a 12 team league and we play QB, OP, 2RB, 2WR, W/T Flex, TE. No PPR. There's a 3QB roster limit. Nothing else particularly unusual. Keepers don't cost anything, there's just rules regarding how long they can be kept. I finished 3rd last year (yay) but as a result am in a bad draft spot. Who do you keep?

Leperflesh posted:If it's a keeper superflex league with standard scoring and people aren't idiots, all of the good QBs will be kept and the first round will be picking up the remainders, who are probably the high-risk guys and the really lovely guys. In this format you can't not keep a potentially useful QB. Definitely agree. There are actually 5 or 6 useful (better than mine) QBs going back into the pool this year. Looking at things it might be possible to trade someone + 1.10 to move up to 1.4 or 1.5.

Leperflesh posted:Mahomes was picked #10 and sat out last year. I don't know the statistics, but that's a recent example. Alex Smith outperformed, and that probably helped with the decision to keep him on the bench, but I think it was clearly the plan anyway. I'm 10th. QBs available will be Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Newton, Luck, Cousins, and then a big drop off down to like Alex Smith and Joe Flacco. And of course, the rookies. It's pretty much the biggest haul of good QBs available since the league began. 6 of the teams in front of me are definitely looking for QBs. 2 of them could reasonably be. I've floated offers to the teams at 1.4 and 1.5, who both are not in dire need of a QB but could use receivers, to see about swapping first rounders.
