abelwingnut posted:sorry for the derail on all of this btw! just looking for tips as fantasy football feels like a whole different planet nowadays. Anyway here is my predicament: I’m 5th pick in a 10-team .5PPR but also have the 12th overall due to trades carrying over. All the elite RBs are kept or will be picked by the time I’m up so it leaves me with a handful of rookie or 1-to-2-year vet RBs to choose from. Najee Harris (will probably get taken but listing him anyway) Antonio Gibson (same) CEH Chris Carson DMont JK Dobbins Josh Jacobs Miles Sanders Darrell Henderson Right now I would love to see Gibson fall to me and then hopefully get Dobbins or Henderson with #12. CEH feels like a trap due to the backfield and redzone work, and I can’t bring myself to take Fumble Machine Chris Carson again. Is there a strong case for any of these guys or is this the group that you just grit your teeth and take the good with the bad?

Yeah I didn’t bring up available receivers because I’m tired of being one of those guys who doesn’t luck out on an elite RB to keep for several years. The problem is none of these guys are likely one of those yet unless they really establish themselves this season but due to our keeper point system, taking them in the first or second round already starts them with a high value that they probably won’t live up to. I’m keeping Kittle, McLaurin, Robert Woods, and Chase Edmonds which is why I’m in the hunt for an RB pair so badly. Available high WRs are Justin Jefferson, Amari, CeeDee, ARob, Mike Evans, DJ Moore.

So I think I’ve finally come to terms with my internal struggle that in my keeper league first round I’ll either wind up with Najee Harris, Antonio Gibson, or Justin Jefferson and that seems just A-OK.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:My redraft league that is keeping keepers for the first time this year is drafting tonight. Would it be dirty of me to draft Etienne really late then stash him on IR all year so I could keep him for cheap next year? I’m honestly considering this in my 10-team keeper league and hoping no one else has the same plan. We have a draft position-based value system, basically #1 overall pick is worth 170 keeper points, last pick is worth 1. It gets a little more complicated than that but if I could get him in the last handful of rounds and have a skilled RB2 keeper worth like 20 points going into the 2022-23 season it would be pretty dope. P.S. I guarantee you at least one of my leaguemates has the same plan

I was feeling relatively good about this draft Saturday morning until the Dobbins injury. I have some rare brain disease where I love taking handcuffs for RBs that other people own. 10-team keeper league, 0.5 PPR, 1 Flex slot QB: Aaron Rodgers RB: Najee Harris, JK Dobbins, Chase Edmonds (K), Darrell Henderson, AJ Dillon, Tony Pollard WR: Terry McLaurin (K), Robert Woods (K), Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, Kenny Gollday, TY Hilton TE: George Kittle (K), Robert Tonyan D/ST: Washington K: Jason Sanders I absolutely messed up taking Tonyan with my 3rd to last pick not realizing it was my 3rd to last. I was in a trade last year that netted me an extra 2nd round pick that I unfortunately used on Dobbins, so it left me one less late rounder which I wanted to use on Trey Lance.

buffalo all day posted:idk i love lance but what would you even do with him, you drafted aaron rodgers. i guess you could say the same for Tonyan. your RBs look good enough with Najee + DHenderson, with Dillon and Pollard as longer term upside. Yeah mostly wanted Lance as a late-round keeper. T.Y. was late too so I’m not too broken up if I end up dropping him but for now he can chill in IR with my poor boy J.K. I am going to need to be on top of my FAAB game the first few weeks to make up for it.

I dropped like 4% FAAB on Ty’son Williams after drafting Dobbins Saturday morning before the games. I doubt he’s going to do anything but my RB bench after Najee Harris is Chase Edmonds Darrell Henderson AJ Dillon Tony Pollard Edmonds and/or Henderson will probably work out to be serviceable RB2s but what can I say, I’m like a doomsday prepper with RBs. Except all my doomsday supplies are high-sodium deli meats and dry Captain Crunch.

Who the hell is saying Kamara at 3 is a bad idea? 3rd pick this year is pretty much just take whichever of the four or so remaining elite RBs you feel good about and gently caress the haters.

I don’t want to bash anyone who drafted him and I’ll preface this by saying I’ve come in last two years running in my keeper league but: Can someone sell me on D’Andre Swift? I get he’s talented but aren’t the Lions in a real bad spot for RBs? He got taken pretty high in two of my leagues and I just can’t wrap my head around it.

So I drafted Dobbins as my RB2 the morning of the day he got injured, panic grabbed Ty’son that evening, and now it looks like I maybe have my RB2 back? All before the first kickoff. This season is going to be wild.

You all can ignore this but I just need to salt/dramapost so I can sleep tonight. I’m on the left. I’ve come in last in this keeper league two years in a row, and this will probably be year three. I don’t understand how anyone can be this bad at fantasy football. I do the Beersheets and Fantasypros and all the experts and weekly articles. I’ve done research, I’ve “gone with my gut”, I just can’t seem to form a reliable team. Every year it feels like my picks all bust and even playing the waivers isn’t enough to supplement my team. Am I just doomed? Bad? Unlucky? I know it’s only Week 1 and means nothing but holy poo poo what an absolutely demoralizing start to the season. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. I’m not giving up on the season and maybe I’ll be back here in a few weeks gloating about my team but I just needed to vent.

I’m keeping Lamb in that scenario. Najee’s numbers will come. Dude’s workload is insane, he will definitely thrive against the lower half of run defenses even with Pitt’s awful O-line.

Especially fun looking at all the guys on my bench who outscored my starters. I’m pulling for Rodgers to steal all the Aaron Jones points tonight. Hopefully we both get what we want. I’m down 36 points because I had the MIA kicker and WFT D/ST combine for 1 while my opponent had Pats D/ST and his kicker combine for 30. At least I got to watch Najee straight up hip toss a dude. https://twitter.com/steelers/status/1439644683362344961?s=20

ESPN win percentages must use the same insane machine learning that their IBM Watson trade suggestions does. Last week I was down 36 with only Rodgers to play on Monday night, win percentage was 99-1. Rodgers throws one touchdown late in the first, doesn’t move the needle. He throws another at the end of the second, it goes to maybe 5% for me. He throws one halfway through the third, suddenly it’s like 92-8 in my favor? I was still down probably 14 points with barely over a quarter left so idk what this thing was smoking. Did it think he was just going to continue throwing TD’s every five minutes without question? Long story short I lost by 3. Thanks WFT and Jason Sanders for combining for 1 point last week.

SouthShoreSamurai posted:I need Devonta Smith and Miles Sanders to outscore Hurts by 3 pts. This game is gonna be weird to watch. That’s always the worst when your players coincide with your opponent. Like having a WR and your opponent has the QB, or you have a D/ST and your opponent has players from the other team, so when they score it comes with extra pain. kiimo posted:I picked up Peyton Barber as a Jacobs sub and then started Ty'Son Williams over him.

dkj posted:Someone in one of my public leagues traded Lamb and Najee for Tyreek Hill. Then the guy getting Hill said he didn’t see that Najee was part of the deal. Which means he genuinely thought someone was just trading him Hill for Lamb straight up lol. I have like zero sympathy for those people who bitch about bad trades after they’ve made them, especially ones with outlandish excuses. “Oh I was trying to hit Decline and sneezed and happen to hit Accept and then Confirm and then Confirm again. I also didn’t realize I sneezed and hit Accept until several hours later.”

Yeah, dude should have taken the four seconds to make sure it says Julio Jones, WR, ATL. Like the info is right there, I don’t care how excited you get that you found a WR1 on FA. Pretty much the only mistake I think worth forgiving is someone somehow accidentally dropping a player and then immediately, I mean within 30 seconds, texting the commish to explain and have it undone. Bad trades, dumb pickups, all of that stuff has clear information right next to the players name of what you are getting.

He’s one of those guys where the talent is there and I’d rather him than some other waiver wire garbage, but my starters do well enough that I’ll likely just have him riding the pine all season and then go “why did I keep him on my team this year” in week 17.

26 points alone is insane for one IDP position. Maybe he was tackling players so goddamn much they just thought it was easier to credit him with a tackle after every play and go back and review the tape later.

drat really? Maybe the scoring is different. I only play in one IDP league and usual scores across those positions ranges from 5-15. Each week do you see two or three guys hit the 20s but most of them stay well below 18. All in all I’m not a huge fan of IDP, to me it’s just as (if not more) random than having a D/ST and K.
