quick question: the setup: keeper league w/ an auction draft. i'm likely keeping tyreek at $28 and christian watson at $15 already. was offered $19 metcalf for my $29 etienne. based on everything i know, and all the rankings i can find, and all the nffc results, this appears to be a no-brainer accept for me. like, metcalf goes a round or three earlier than etienne in almost every league from what i can tell, so even if they were priced the same, i should do this. then you throw in that metcalf's cheaper...and it seems like a massive must accept. what am i missing?

thanks--accepted. yea, it's a really weird league. first off, budget's $225, so each dollar has more value. and second, rosters are...odd. 1qb 2rb 3wr 1te 3flex 1superflex sooooo, yea. always good to have as many top end dudes given how thin rosters can get. last season was my first in the league, and some weeks, it was difficult to find guys who would see at least some snaps. that $10 should help, no doubt. abelwingnut fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Jul 26, 2023 |

oh yea, now that i think about it, any preference on keeping $15 london or $15 christian watson? watson seems like the better play to me, but throwing this out there for dissents.

yes, it is a .25ppr league. i learned last year that wide receivers are easily the most valuable players in this league. if only i had drafted a halfway decent second qb i'd have been fine. thought i'd be able to find a decent one during the season, but that's didn't pan out. garoppolo going down did me in.

would forgo engram and just wait for kincaid, laporta, hurst, or a few others. unless you’re getting kelce, andrews, hockenson, or waller, just wait and grab a high upside guy late. abelwingnut fucked around with this message at 12:26 on Aug 16, 2023 |

Matt Zerella posted:I would not group Waller in with those guys. why's that? when healthy, waller's been great. and now with the giants, he's about the only veteran, trustable, nfl-proven receiving threat they have outside of barkley. yes, i'm high on hiatt, but he's still a rookie. also, jones seems like the exact kind of qb who is a tight end away from finding a next level. he's not a deep guy at all. plus, tons of reports out of camp about how in sync jones and waller are. that could just be buzz. i don't know, the situation seems near-perfect for waller. i'd certainly take him over, like, pitts, where there's a complete lack of track record, an even more questionable qb, and more receiving threats to contend with. AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:Engram is a high upside guy, though. He was TE 5 in my TE Prem league. Dougpie P loves his TEs and he will likely have a better year this year with the Urban Meyer stink not ruining the first half of their season. yea, he does have some upside, but it's limited imo given the number of other receiving threats. he has to contend with ridley, kirk, zay, etienne, and bigsby. there's a lot there for lawrence to throw to. would rather get someone later who has more upside, i suppose. abelwingnut fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Aug 16, 2023 |

i'd easily drop zay jones out of that crew. potential knee injury, competing for targets against ridley, engram, kirk, etienne, and bigsby, was never all that great. oh, and speaking of jacksonville, buy lawrence and ridley if you can. lawrence had a bad game, yes, but it's still one game. that team should come together soon and when they do it's going to be loud.

a rule of thumb of mine: you should prioritize playing time/targets/security with your starting rb at this point in the season, and outside of a very obvious handcuff to one of your injury-prone starters, you should prioritize talent on your rb bench. take spears over all of those mediocre backups. the dalvin cooks and herberts of the world aren't going to potentially win you weeks later on, especially in the playoffs weeks. they're just going to get you 5pt or whatever when you need max upside. load up on spears and hope he plays a bigger role and unleashes all hell in like week 16.

take me you ANIMAL posted:Ugh, same guy that got Puka last week just picked up Ford this week. I gotta stop tinkering with kickers and TE so I can climb the wire. and here is the reason you draft a top te, a good def, and a decent kicker. you want these positions to be as set-it-and-forget-it as possible, otherwise they'll slowly nibble you down on waivers/faab and prevent you from bidding on the positions that turn over and matter.

Floofy posted:Who’s the best bet for ROS, Ford or K. Williams? williams. he'll catch more balls than ford, the rams' coaches love him, and he just showed you he can put up big numbers against arguably the best run defense in the league. plus, if kupp comes back, that'll free up even more space for him. ford looked good and explosive, but i just don't like the team context nearly as much, and i don't think ford will see the passes williams does. that said, i think there's an argument for ford. the browns love running more than the rams and they have a better o-line, at least last season. but i definitely am taking williams in this debate.

aj dillon is just bad. i would rather roster, and do roster, emanuel wilson, who looked very, very good in preseason. easy to see wilson overtaking dillon in the next couple of weeks. might even be able to trade dillon for spears or a good backup, which you should do 1000 times out of 1000.

DeepDickPizza posted:Or just wait until waivers clear and grab someone out of FA. 90% of the time, you're going to get who you want or an equivalent replacement since all of those positions are weekly coinflips after the top tier. sure, you can do that. but i would argue i'm not getting who i want 100% of the time with this method, because the guys i actually want were drafted. the waiver fodder is just that. you're literally trying to pick the best option out of only bad options. i hate that. at those positions, i'd still just rather take the more proven, more reliable ones in the draft. the points advantage matters on top of the faab saved. streaming def and te is a total nightmare, no matter how you slice it, and i'd rather just have waller/hockenson and phi/sf doing their thing than dealing with it on a weekly basis. and to be clear, i'm not advocating drafting kelce in the first or andrews in the second or sf in the 10th or whatever. i would not do that at all. i'm just saying draft a top 5 te in the first 6 or so rounds, a top def a round or two before their adp, and maybe tucker a round or two before his adp. these won't kill you at those points in the draft. roster construction's fun.

Fast Luck posted:Kickers are so so so replaceable. It's super rare to me that it's worth riding with a kicker through a bye for example. Most defenses it's the same deal, outside of the top few in a given year they're pretty much interchangeable and it's totally fine to me to cycle them through on free agency. yea, kickers are generally whatever. i just like having tucker because he has seemed immune to the ebbs and flows of baltimore's offense. there's comfort in that. and like you said with def, 'outside of the top few'. point is, i want one of those top few, so i do what i can to get it, which usually only requires drafting one a round early. not that big of a deal where they go imo.

RCarr posted:Who the hell is spending waiver priority or FAAB on a kicker or defense? for defense? i've seen it plenty. just saw jacksonville and kc go for $2 each in a $100 faab league. nffc is about the same percentage this time of year, but can get very aggressive in the playoff weeks naturally. kicker, less so, but it does happen when you have a juggernaut offense against a cardinals defense or something. definitely less pronounced here than with def. got to remember, a good defensive showing can net you massive points and sometimes win you a week. abelwingnut fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Sep 20, 2023 |

i'm stingy with it because let's say you spend $1 each week on a def in a $100 fab league. that's potentially $17 total, $14 for the regular season. i'd rather draft a def who's expected to be top 3 a round early and put that, let's say $15, into a potential gamechanger at a skill position. and tbh, i'm probably going to spend more than $15, especially if i need a late push. there are always going to be some super juicy matchups where you want to go $2 or $3. i don't know, would just rather not deal with the headache and save the money and waiver position.

it is usually a very bad sign when there's 'no timetable for their return'. i can't imagine he's back for at least a few weeks. relatedly, i've got dotson where i can. he looked great in preseason, got a decent amount of use in his limited snaps last week, and kelley is just sort of alright. worth the gamble if you have room. \/ what other backup qb are currently on waivers? abelwingnut fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Sep 21, 2023 |

 i can't imagine dropping fields in the first 8 or so weeks barring injury. you made the bed you believed in, and you have to lie in it and see what happens. the talent is there, the plan/team isn't. chill out and give them at least a month to come around. remember, fields wasn't good until like week 6 last season. plus, he hasn't been that bad this season, at least fantasy-wise. you're not losing weeks because of him. sure, pick up a backup if you like. but straight dropping him is just...impulsive and irrational.
