Is every article going to contain Mike Davis this year? After not talking about him last year it's the least you can do.

In other fantasy news I used my last rookie pick on Darius Fountain because an article talked about how big his hands are. And you know what they say about big hands?!


The Michael Thomas syndrome. Big hands ftw.

He's going to rush for 3.6 ypc and have single digit touchdowns

Saquon will rush for 3.6ypc but his shortest reception will be a 71yd TD screen pass. And he'll have 50 of them.

Once the claim is made you can’t block it. It’s up to you to figure out the roster space and cap needed to move him around.

If you can't block it you don't need to worry about cap and roster space since there's no blocking right? He gone.


But your other league does something similar to what I want to change our league to (Leperfish's league). Stealing requires you to give up a comp pick. Since it's just rookies and sophomores on taxi I dont think we need to give up a 1st and 2nd for a 1st rounder but giving up a 1st for a 1st is enough to make the league competitive and a little more hands-on. We've got 5 guys who don't trade in the league which really blows, so this way would force them to interact a bit.

That means you can block the steal. I was so confused for a minute.

That's normal though.

"Put him on your roster or lose him 24hrs after the steal is announced."

Whats different? I mean, if you copied our league you have the exact same settings which are pretty standard in FF.

Huh, I read that completely backwards but your way makes sense in regards to the no recourse thing.

What the gently caress did I just join


3 goals?

1) Pick my punny team name based on some players last name before the draft begins. Never actually draft that player, complain about having to change my team name.

2) All RB All Day.

3) Take Bortles in the 12th. That's a goal/punishment combo.

I also will be able to throw Henry and Ingram on IR as soon as the draft is over,

Ingram isn't IR eligible. He's suspended, not injured. That may screw with your plans.

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.

Is your budget 200 too?

Graham has been relatively consistent for fantasy right?

10tds and like 300yds or 16tds and 1000?

Pretty decent floor. Can understand why he is getting taken where he is.

Ninja edit: 2015 was bad I see. Thought it was more in line with the others. 11 games tho.

2018 Jimmy Graham is going to be extraordinarily touchdown or bust, given that the Packers have a metric crap ton of offensive weapons

Minus one Nelson.

That's why I think he will get used.


Edit: looking at that pic; yeah I can see half a dozen I pick, but if Graham is sitting all alone at tier2 and tier3 being way below him then it's not a ridiculous pick imo.

They didn't pay Jimmy Graham 30M to half-assedly block players.

They're going to use him in the offense, he's the main weapon behind Adams imo.

This is all good stuff. My league mates specifically wanted to devalue wr and increase rb value when we made the change.

Why not just not do PPR or Half-PPR since it does the same thing? Standard Scoring is basically RB++

I am so confused. Can you explain the thought process behind it?

I mean, hypothetically, it's probably a low end RB1 / high end RB2. The likelihood of him reaching his ceiling is probably the same as it was the last few years people believed in him.

I just reread that article and I am not sure where to rank Patterson now.

Gurley
Zeke
DJohnson
Bell
Brown
Patterson
Julio
OBJ
Hopkins


Or should Julio be above Patterson? I cant decide between those two.

To be fair Dorset blows on special teams. Patterson is an excellent gunner and has more return yards than anyone else since he has been in the league.

Still a lovely hot take.
