Beer, for the OP... Football Absurdity is goon run and an excellent fantasy football resource. It blends comedy and information to let you know what players you should be looking for. Football Absurdity has games, puzzles and personality quizzes. What it doesn't have is information on the value of Mike Davis!"

Once I'm done with work, I'll have my initial dynasty rankings article up. I'll put the link in the thread tonight once it is done. Also, it's way too early for dynasty drafts. Wait for the start of training camp. There is no real feel for players yet.

Honestly, it probably does not make too much of a difference. Dynasty is all about long term projections, and once you see where somebody is drafted, you have 80% of what you need to know. Has anyone ever considered making a league where you have to redraft every week? Would that even be feasible?

He is in a 2 QB league, so I suspect most of the first round is going to be quarterbacks. I still think Barkley is 1.01, but it's not a slam dunk. You could definitely justify taking a quarterback number one.

How is he picking first with those guys?

Thelonius Van Funk posted:He traded Kirk Cousins for a 2017 1st and a 2018 first that turned into 1.01. Also I have tried to move up but everyone is so rookie horny that it's basically impossible once the draft order is set. It would cost around four first rounders or equivalent to move up to 1.01 Then trade down for future picks if you can. Barkley, even though he absolutely is deserving of his number one pick, is seriously overrated. This year is like 2014 when it comes to dynasty depth, only it's the running backs that are so great. If you find yourself in a position to get an extra first next year or an extra second this year just for moving down, do it. Last year, I had three second round picks and I just got sad realizing that this year, I traded my second rounder for Will Fuller and a fourth. Looks like someone is going to be trying to trade back this year.

I think all three tight ends are interchangeable, but I suspect by the start of training camp, Gesicki will be my number one tight end. The only edge Hurst has at the moment is draft position. I don't really care for this year's tight end class though. I was much higher on any of the top five tight ends last year than I am any this year.

I think the easiest thing to do in fantasy football is just trust talent. A couple years back, I remember arguing against drafting Antonio Brown first overall. My logic was nobody has been that dominant three years in a row. I'm dumb.

sourdough posted:Nah, iirc the logic he's saying was not that he thought Antonio Brown or the Steelers offense had changed or gotten worse in any way, it was literally just "no one has been WR1 three years in a row, so Brown can't be this year." Something kind of like mixing up whether you should bet the field against any one player being WR1 (of course) with whether a given player is most likely to be WR1. No one was arguing that a 30 whatever year old Adrian Peterson was going to be a top 3 RB. This is exactly what I was saying. Leperflesh posted:Sorta like how Julio Jones was a lock for top 3 WRs again last year, right? And OBJ? Or like how Adrian Peterson was a lock to be top 3 RB, even when he went to the Saints? I dislike all the counter examples you provided for the following reasons. 1) Julio had his offensive coordinator change, so there was a significant change that you didn't know how it would effect him. But even with all that, I am comfortable taking Julio as one of my first receivers this year. 2) ODB got hurt. You can't plan for injuries and before he got hurt, he was on pace for ending the year as a WR1. He also has not had a functional offense in New York and still been dominant when on the field. 3) In no universe did anyone think AD was a lock to be a top three RB. All you need to do is look at where he was drafted to see this. People hoped Sean Payton would somehow fix him, but he was always a mid-round lottery pick. Talent finds a way. With AB84, his situation hadn't even changed and I was writing him off for bad reasons. David Johnson should be in the same conversation as Zeke, Bell and Gurley. I legitimately hope all you guys sleep on him, because I want all the DJ shares!

That is a weirdly put together article. On the one hand, I agree with his overall point about McKinnon underachieving throughout his career. On the other hand, after reading that, I kinda feel like I'm wrong to have that opinion and now want to rate him higher.

Azhais posted:Are there any tight ends worth taking in this rookie draft (or guys that may be in line for an expanded role elsewhere)? My dynasty team only has Greg Olsen and while he's been a trooper, that's probably not a sustainable option past this year The three top guys are Hurst, Gesicki and Goedert. Gesicki is a SPARQ monster, so probably has the highest upside. I probably wouldn't look at any of them before the third round of a rookie draft. Possibly fourth, depending on how it played out.

MacheteZombie posted:Hurst just got taken 1.11 in my rookie draft. That is way too early. This rookie class had seven running backs who can potentially start week one as the starters on their respective teams, five quarterbacks taken in the first round and a fee receivers. Hurst at 11 is insane. I'm guessing that guy is desperate for tight ends and feels good about his team being in the championship.

Azhais posted:Got him at 8 actually, remembered my draft slot Are you eyeing Darnold there? IDP kinda fucks up the values, since I don't know how big an impact defensive scoring has. MacheteZombie posted:I think it's way too early as well. TE was probably his biggest need, so maybe it'll pan out, but his team is usually a poor performer during the season, so he could have gotten more value elsewhere. Royce Freeman at 2.02 seems early. Where are you picking next? I think it's important to remember that rookies have a pretty high bust rate. It's better to have a lot of early picks and just hedge. Although it's hard to argue against his situation. I personally think Perine is poop, so to me, it's a question of Crabtree for a second rounder. I'm not sure if I could do it, but I could see why it seems like an attractive option.

MacheteZombie posted:I'd be picking at 3.05 next. I didn't realize you didn't have a second rounder. I'll say two things. 1) I tend to hedge with rookie drafts, because it is so volatile. 2) When I really like someone, if I think I can get then, I try to get them if the price is right. I'd say follow those parameters and you'll be happy. Number two has gotten me Alvin Kamara and Christine Michael. Azhais posted:Our IDP scoring is on the higher end, but still not on par with offense in any respect, we just start a bunch of them. I had the Derwin James thought too, but agree I'd probably wait until the third. You can find someone on waivers with that position. drat, I hope for both our dynasty teams sakes, Luck comes back!

MacheteZombie posted:Which GB WR rookie would you rather draft in dynasty this year, Equanimeous St. Brown or J'Mon Moore? First one. Then the other. Serious answer, Moore is a 4th rounder, St. Brown is a 6th. I think draft equity is in Moore's side. Moore is also in the 78th percentile for SPARQ score, so he's the more athletic of the two, but not by a significant amount. Honestly, all the receivers the Packers grabbed have similar traits. I think they are grabbing a type and hoping one emerges as the clear favorite. Is Marqeez Valdes-Scantling already taken? Because he's also a Packers receiver.

Zauper posted:I'm not the biggest fan of Miller because I don't think we know enough about that offense to know how much volume the WR2 (his upside -- Arob got paid) is going to get. We also frankly don't know if Trubisky is all that good. I think the only competition Miller has is Kevin White this year. And like I said before, I favor college production a lot and there is no denying Miller produced. He's really athletic and angry. I just like the guy. Also, since this is dynasty, it's not that big an issue if he doesn't produce this year, but I still think he had the clearer path. He just has to beat out White. Unless osteoporosis is contagious, dude has a clear path to a starting role. Chark is good and I definitely have him on the same tier as Miller, but he's got more competition to see the field. Last year, Jacksonville got two rookies and Marqise Lee is still there.

Zauper posted:In terms of seeing the field for volume, you're (maybe) right. Miller is going to see the field since White is going to get injured again, but his ceiling is capped, because he's behind A-rob. And we're not sure yet what kind of volume Burton will see, or Cohen out of the backfield. I think it depends on how you interpret drafting Chark in the second round. I don't think it necessarily means they lack faith in Dede/Cole, so much as they just lost A-Rob and Allen Hurns. I think it's much more likely they are just adding necessary depth and they really liked the value Chark provided at his draft slot. I also doubt they are really down on Cole/Dede. They rode both of them to the AFC championship game in their rookie years. Both definitely showed flashes. I agree with your concerns about Miller. There are a lot of mouths to feed. But I think you are underselling the issues Chark brings. His college production is very limited, so there are real questions about how he'll perform in the NFL. I know LSU was a mess in the passing game, but that doesn't mean he can actually do the little things that make a receiver succeed. The guy has six receiving touchdowns in two years. How does a guy that big, fast and strong only get three touchdowns a year? If you took one of Anthony Miller's last two seasons, it's better than both of Chark's last two seasons combined. But there is no denying Chark's athleticism. If he hits, he should be a home run for Jacksonville. To me, the difference is that Miller has a very high floor and ceiling, whereas Chark had a very low floor with a much higher ceiling than Miller.

Everyone of those fuckers who brings this up conveniently forget to mention the passing game. Why don't they mention Ingram's 58 targets in the passing game last year? If Kamara just gets five more opportunities a game because of this, it's a pretty significant boost. 60 targets and 220 carries would be a huge bump on his numbers from last year. And it wouldn't be that much of a stretch. Because that's what Ingram did. They are ignoring the role reversal that could happen, with Kamara taking Ingram's volume from last year and Ingram taking Kamara's. Ben Nevis posted:Don't expect any guy to get 400 touches. That's solid advice. Fixed that for you.
