I am just going to bed right now and too drunk to say how completely wrong this is but Lacy is a top 3 pick. Someone else will jump beforehand to say why but if not I will when I wake up. But really what the gently caress.

Nah, he's right. Lacy has an ADP of 1.13 on one site. Like you said in your post, top picks are WRs because of their shelf lives: OBJ, Dez, Mike Evans, Brown

First draft is in three hours :derp:

This league's doing no free agency until the start of the season which, for a league drafting this early, puts a lot of extra pressure on the last couple of rounds.

I'd normally be down with that plan, but I think the ESPN draft tool requires you to fill out your roster. I guess I'll find out soon!

14 teams, .5 ppr

QB: Dalton
RB: Forte, L. Murray, Spiller, A. Foster, L. Dunbar
WR: AJ Green, Cooks, Charles Johnson, J. Brown, K. Stills, E. Royal
TE: Cameron

Dunno how to feel about this. Ok I guess.

You literally could not have a usable RB2 by week four. :stonk:

Yikes, I hate this team :ohdear: Forte is a PPR monster but his receptions are likely to go way down and your top two WR's were injury plagued last season

old dog child posted:

I'm higher on Forte than others* and think Murray will do well as a RB2, at worse he'll be a flex option. Spiller could pay off big so he's worth the risk. If you can survive until Foster is back, then you're set. Your WRs are...not great, but I wouldn't worry about that since WR depth is easier to fix during the season. Ditch Dalton and pick up ANYBODY ELSE. After last year, never again. gently caress the red retard. TE is TE but I'd ditch him the moment you found someone even slightly better.


*Cutler is still the Bears QB, after all, and Fox won't be dumb enough to force the ball where it can't go

Ty1990 posted:

Maybe I'm dumb but I don't think this is awful. Your WR depth isn't there but you probably used a pick on Foster that would otherwise have built that up and if that pays off you're in amazing shape. Your top 2 WR's are pretty nice too.

I see no issue with your running backs. Spiller would have been better in a full PPR league but he's not a bad 3rd back at all. I think your top 2 are pretty solid although Murray is a bit of a risk. All signs point to him getting the volume to make it happen though.

Andy Dalton sucks rear end but I'm thinking you know that already and are probably going the streaming route or you'll be paying him with a really short leash. I'm guessing you waited and waited and waited on a QB and then got hit with a rush of them in 1 round and got caught with your pants down. It happens. The bright side is that if Dalton is able to swing a top 10-12 season (not crazy at all) then you have yourself a nice pairing between him and Green, so of all the lovely QB's left when you took him you probably made the best choice.

Not bad for a 14 team league in my opinion.

Thanks for all the responses. Now that I've had a chance to sober up, I really don't think it's that bad for a 14 person league. AJ Green had a few setbacks last year but I wouldn't consider him injury prone. Brandin Cooks broke his hand -- not a recurring injury -- and all signs point to becoming a target monster in that offense.

L Murray, CJ Spiller, and A. Foster are all risky as RB2s, but I consider them pretty decent value at 4th - 6th round picks. Spiller was a bit of a knee-jerk pick as I thought I'd be taking Kelce in the 5th (but he got snagged right in front of me).

AB, McCoy, and Rodgers your first 3 rounds couldn't have gone any better. Don't love the guys you'd be starting at FLEX (except Royal, betting he has a good year) but I'm guessing you'll be fine with decent waiver additions. Enjoy the playoffs!

I'm looking at dropping Colston from my bench, who has the most potential out of these? I'm thinking LaFell personally, even though I don't need any more WRs. 10 team 0ppr

Definitely take Sankey until he proves himself ineffective again.

Hey Beer, any idea where we should plug in guys like Adams and Funchess now that Jordy and Kelvin are hurt?

I have my 10 team non-ppr draft tonight and I'm wondering how far up to move them. Standard scoring, 2rb, 2wr, 1 flex.

Thanks in advance!

Adams is hard to predict. He's been going as high as the 3rd round in some mocks. I'd be hard pressed to draft him before the 5th myself.

Funchess has been going ~7th, 8th rd

Optimism with Arian Foster's return!

quote:

The Houston Chronicle's Aaron Wilson reports Arian Foster (groin surgery) would resume playing by late September in a "best case scenario."
This could happen if Foster avoids setback in his rehab, per Wilson's sources. After initial reports suggested Foster was headed for injured reserve-designated for return -- a mechanism that would cost him at least the first eight games -- it now appears Foster could escape missing only the first 2-4 weeks of the season. The Texans have a September 27 date with the Buccaneers. It's possible that will be Foster's target date.
