commish posted:IMO, depth is not very important in fantasy football. You get your best bunch of starters and then you get some high risk, high upside guys on your bench. That's why people chase the lottery ticket. That's why I'd rather take a chance on someone like OBJ than keep someone like Dwayne Bowe on my bench for depth. Or, to make it current, I'd rather have Hillman on my bench than someone like Woodhead. I agree and disagree. I always try to leave a spot or two on my bench, depending on roster size, for fliers, but up until that point I'm taking the BPA for every single pick. Injuries happen, and if they don't, the more talent you have the better, never turn down a tradable asset because you never know when someone will be in need and you can turn bench fodder into a better roster. Depending on how good your starters are, that leaves you more open to taking on risk, but for most teams, I think that resigning a good portion of your bench to high-risk/reward guys instead of just grabbing a guy or two, will more often than not force you to spend the entire season playing WW roulette E: I also don't think broken rear end Dwayne Bowe is a fair comp to a guy like Woodhead who is probably going to put up at least low-end RB3 numbers in PPR. Especially for a handcuff because handcuffs are stupid. If you're going make a risk play, at least make a play for a guy who can work his way into the lineup through performance rather than injury. I honestly would consider Zenner in the former category just as much as the latter, because I don't necessarily believe that he needs a Joique injury to become relevant, just to keep practicing well, take advantage of whatever little opportunity he gets (even just a carry or two a week), and wait until Joique over-stays his welcome with a sub-4 YPC Teemu Pokemon fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Sep 8, 2015 |

If trading didn't exist, keeping 1-2 RB and WR to cover injuries then stashing a bunch of high-risk lottery tickets would be the way to go in my opinion. However, taking the BPA at all times definitely increases your ability to fill in other team's holes for the reward to improving the quality of your starters.

Yeah you basically want the guy who could potentially put up big numbers if a few breaks go their way. If you need a few points of filler per week, you can literally get JAG from free agency.

Stupid question, but Steve Smith is on track to play week 1 correct? He didn't get suspended for fighting in the preseason? I'm looking around a see no news about him to indicate he wouldn't be starting, but ESPN has him projected for 0 points for some reason.

Does ESPN not do projections for IDP? Offensive projections for Week 1 have gone up* but nothing for IDP, and my friends and I started a bullshit all IDP league this year so this is a bit of a concern. I know the projections are just fluff, but it helps with on the bubble decisions. *Some random offensive players are missing projection at the moment, Steve Smith and Johnathan Stewart among them for some reason.

Yeah, that's the problem - so hard to pull off trades. I don't rely on trades at all because I've never been in a competitive league that had significant trading.

This is a really good point and it basically harkens to my number one rule for fantasy which is know your league

Bench matters a lot in my league because it's a 14 person PPR. That means your bench has to be guys that can realistically fill in for injuries/under performance plus bye weeks. Sure it's fine to have one or two lottery tickets but my bench is Polk, Tevin Coleman, Brandon Coleman, FJax, Julius Thomas, and DGB. I'm sweating it even though my top three is relatively solid (Cobb, Forte, Landry) but my other guys aren't (Peyton Manning, Amari Cooper, Vernon Davis, and Bishop Sankey).

I'm trying to work up a trade that involves me giving up Amari Cooper for DeAndre Hopkins, do you guys think it would be worth it or do i just stick with Cooper? 1 PPR league I'm thinking both players will be soaking up targets, i just don't know which QB to trust more. Also trying to target Jordan Matthews too. Will be giving up some RB depth if it happens, but hopefully Duke Johnson or Tevin Coleman at least get's me flex numbers by the time my starting RB's byes come around.

The guy who owns Matthews has a RB trio of Eddie Lacy, Danny Woodhead, and Joseph Randle, and he's currently starting Woodhead in his RB2 spot. I could give up Amari + Ameer for Matthews + Woodhead/Randle.

I've been looking in here for a week or so to no avail, but I figure I'll give it one last shot. Do I have two takers (need two, can't draft with uneven teams) who want to get into the all-IDP league? Draft is tonight at 10ET and I'd really like to have 12 teams. It's a great league if you like IDP or are trying to get acclimated to using them instead of D/ST, which you should, because D/ST is bad and for scrubs. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3735414

In my 10-team league, I managed to end up with Roethlisberger, Dez, Megatron and Lacy. Also managed to get Hyde. Short (4 player) bench is rounded out by Isiah Crowell, Latavius Murray, Mike Wallace and Chris Ivory Feelin' pretty good, here's hopin' goin into week 1. Nervous about that 49ers D/ST though.

I got this trade offer (.5 ppr): I give Isiah Crowell, I get Shane Vereen. Kind of a boring lateral move and I honestly like Crowell's situation better right now. Thinking about counter offering to get Foster, and cause I love 2 for 1, I was thinking Crowell & James Jones or Funchess. Foster's situation seems really murky, but if he comes back in a reasonable amount of time and he's healthy, I need a RB1 type of player. Am I completely undervaluing the uncertainty, though? Is Foster worth a lot more than Crowell and a basically waiver-wire WR?

I'm trying to convince the league I commission to drop TEs since we're going 2QBs this year and TEs are awful plus we'll still have a flex spot anyway. Everybody's getting super angsty and nobody's for it. Should I just let Gronk/Graham/Kelce go and pick a TE super late in the draft? Also: Is there a way to round points in ESPN? Like for passing yards where it's 1point/25yds, can you set it to go 13yds or above = 1 point? I think it's stupid but my league insists there's a way to do it.

Either use fractional scoring (1 yard rush/receiving = 0.1 points, 1 yard passing = 0.04 points) or use whole number scoring (9 yards rush/receiving = 0, 10 yards rush/receiving = 1, etc.). Rounding is even dumber than just using whole numbers. MacheteZombie posted:She's going to be a lot more salty when she loses to a scoring adjustment of a full point caused by one yard lol. My family league uses whole scoring, so 9 yards = 0 points, 10 yards = 1 point, etc. It makes scoring adjustments so much more exciting, haha.
