Spoeank posted:Draft season is upon us and to keep the general fantasy football thread from getting mucked up with RMT stuff, here's a different thread. Haha, looks good! Top 2 QB, something like 4-5 top 20 RBs, though I'm sure a couple will bust unexpectedly, great starters and depth at WR. Can I ask what the hell happened in your draft that you (I assume) got Bell at 1.01, then Green and Luck lasted to 20 and 21?? Any dumb (in your opinion) reaches in the first two rounds?

Spoeank posted:The answer to both of your questions is idiots. Idiots who make NFL.com in-draft room ranks and idiots who follow them. Here was the first 3 rounds. This draft was a joke, and it wasn't so much awful reaches as it was people following the NFL.com draft grades. So I just realized it was standard scoring, which makes it a little less ridiculous. Bell, Spiller, and Abdullah all are worth a decent bit less with no PPR. Though then I'd definitely not take Forte at 6 and prooobably would take Dez or Julio over Brown at 7. But like you said, nothing too egregious in the first three rounds. It just seems crazy that you could start with Luck, Bell, and Green! I guess Forte at 6 and McCoy at 9 are both like at least a half round early, though.

MacheteZombie posted:Can you expand on this? It's my team and I feel terrible about it's composition. Unless you were saying you liked my team because it was funny, then yeah I agree haha. Yeah, I was actually going to say, unless it's a start 1-2 WR league, I feel like you're really lacking in WRs. What are the starting requirements? Your RB depth is phenomenal, with the slight caveat that Hill and Morris are both a bit devalued in PPR. Still, I like your RBs a lot, up there with Afro and Chancey. But I agree with whoever said you should've gone for a WR instead of Morris. I'd add that, while I know you couldn't have known Tannehill would be available later, Ben with the 50th pick was too early too. If you are taking the fourth QB off the board, you picked too late (missing the top 3) and also way too early (very little difference in the next 8-9 QBs taken, but you spent the most capital on it). I also just personally really wouldn't have made Ben the 4th QB off the board. You really could've used another WR there, and the 6th and 7th rounds had tons of guys with value. One of Agholor or Perriman or Funchess could be a viable WR2, but I wouldn't put much money on it. Barbarosa or Satan or jsmash might all be willing to send WR talent your way for an RB. Maclin or Allen Robinson or even Hopkins would be big improvements for you. Not sure exactly what kind of trade you'd be able to work out, but those are the guys I'd sound out! I'd say try to trade Ben or Tannehill too, but in a 10 team league I don't think you're going to get anything for either, ya know? While your team is unbalanced, it isn't bad at all. Probably not contender as it stands, but you have a ton of depth where you need it most. You also went for established guys that are relatively secure in their workloads at the top of your draft, too, as opposed to guys with a lot more unknowns like Randle or Graham or even Demarco Murray. sourdough fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Aug 17, 2015 |

MacheteZombie posted:Roster requirements: QB/RB/WR/TE/Flex (WR/RB/TE) x3/K/DST, but I feel I should have gone WR/WR, instead of Yeldon gone for Ameer, and I pulled far too early on my TE. Well that's a lot of flexes, so I actually like your draft a good bit more. It isn't like you need a ton of depth to cover one WR spot. Guys like Agholor and Perriman and Funchess are probably ideal for that, too, because it isn't like you're counting on them to start every week. All you need is one of them to hit and be a top 30 guy, and you'll have a startable WR to compete for a flex spot and cover byes.

The SituAsian posted:On that note, not that i plan on spending a pick of significance on him but is Darren Sproles worth rostering? I remember he had a stretch early in the season where he was getting decent points and it is still a really prolific offense. Havent followed camp at all really but it seems Matthews is more of the insurance policy and Sproles will remain the guy on most passing downs. Murray is the guy on passing downs IMO. Sproles was a special teams guy, he only had 29 catches after those first two weeks. I don't think Sproles is worth rostering except as a deep deep flier. Mathews and Murray can both catch the ball.

For being a family draft, most of the teams are mostly respectable. I also like Crustacean Station, though they really need one of Cooper and Agholor to perform like the 2014 rookies, and/or for Davante Adams to be a top 20 WR. Fear the Neard and P'G's (?) and you two are the front runners, IMO.

Julio and Cooks are a really high end WR1 and WR2, and Wright should be at least a top 35 or 40 receiver. Even if not, one of Garcon and Smith will probably also be a borderline WR3.

TubeStank and Prophecy so far look the best for me, with TubeStank having the edge there. Quality starters at each position and at least a couple decent bench options. General comments: I would not have gone for Foster in the 4th, especially when Allen Robinson and presumably other good dudes were still there. I also would not have rostered three QBs, better to have a total flier than a 3rd QB. That Jordy autodraft sucks too

Carr obviously is your QB2 til Brady is back, but you should really add Jimmy G or Fitzpatrick or any starting QB to use in your flex, and do it like immediately. I'd probably drop Hurns or Wheaton or both for 1-2 starting QBs. Ideally you'll want to roster 4 or even 5 to cover possible injuries and bye weeks.

Keith Atherton posted:My first time playing fantasy anything so I've been trying to learn a lot but it's overwhelming. So I did my best at the draft but would appreciate feedback about my picks. Witten was waaay too early, Cam was probably a bit early especially since he lost Kelvin Benjamin, Sproles should've been like a last round pick, you shouldn't have picked a defense til one of the last 2-3 rounds, picking Garcon and Baldwin before Wright is criminal but at least you got good value at that Wright pick, and Gray probably isn't worth rostering. In general, your last two rounds should be defense and kicker. If you don't get a top TE like Gronk, Graham, or Olsen, you should very likely wait til just before defense or TE to pick up someone. Your next move should be to look for better options on the waiver wire than Sproles, Baldwin, and Gray. Someone here (89?) will tell you Sproles will be awesome this year, but he won't. Baldwin was not really worth rostering last year and that was before Seattle added another pass catcher in Graham. Gray may or may not be the Pats' main RB while Blount is suspended, but you aren't really going to want to start him those two weeks anyway because he might get like 2 touches. Are there any mediocre RBs available that don't have a lot of competition and could get a lot of carries if things break the right way? Sankey or David Cobb, David Johnson, Duke Johnson (or Crowell if he's somehow available)? Getting a third startable RB is critical, as neither Sproles nor Gray is really flex-worthy or even very good bye week filler.

8 team, no PPR, start 1 RB / 1 WR / 3 WRT flex. My starting lineup is solid (Hill, Julio, McCoy, Gore, Andre Johnson), wondering whether I should trade anyone on my bench for anyone on the wire. Bench: Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Marshall, Allen Robinson, Alfred Blue, Arian Foster Notable WW: Crowell, Boldin, Fitzgerald, Charles Johnson, Joique Bell, Funchess My feeling is that I'd rather stick with Blue/Foster than mess with Cleveland's RBBC, Joique doesn't offer enough upside to drop Abdullah (rather go for the homerun chance that Abdullah > McCoy or Gore), and none of those WRs are upgrades over Marshall, Robinson, or Andre Johnson. Seem reasonable?

You have a killer set of starters, and quality WR depth. However, you literally don't have a 3rd startable RB, which is a pretty big hole. Obviously drop Steven Jackson asap, and then I'd grab anyone available that has any path to starting. Boobie Dixon or Karlos Williams, maybe Terrance West, whoever you can grab. There's no way in hell you should drop Wright, and probably not Floyd. I'd drop Jackson, FJax, and Wayne before either of those two. But I would definitely drop Floyd if you could grab a startable RB.

DinosaurEggSalad posted:Picking last my 10 team league with 6pt passing TDs and one IDP, I wound up with this: In a 10 team league, there's no reason to roster Dalton or Rivera, and I'm pretty pessimistic on Crabtree too. Definitely drop those first two and grab RB or WR lotto tickets (rookies, handcuffs, etc), and given your depth at WR, I'd 100% drop Crabtree for someone with a higher ceiling (which shouldn't be hard to do, ha), even if they also have a floor of "not playing this year". Again, rookies, or someone like Janis or Ty Montgomery, Quick, Justin Hardy, Lockett, etc that has an uncertain role but could contribute if things fall the right way.

Lockett and DGB are long shots to be much of fantasy contributors this year, but Lockett only has to beat out Doug Baldwin, and DGB should easily be the #2 WR and push Wright for #1 based on talent, just needs to keep his head screwed on.

Varg posted:I meant that for the RBs Year before. Last year he finished as an RB1 that was drafted way late as a handcuff for Knowshon Moreno. There aren't any red flags for Miller. Ajayi was supposedly going to push him (if Ajayi's knee was healthy), but he's been pretty poor and I think the consensus is that Miller's job is safe. Forsett is a bit risky IMO, though. Forsett has a higher ceiling than Miller, but I don't like his age, the changes in coaching staff, and the fact that last year was his breakout season at the age of 28 or 29. I'd be worried that last year was a kind of perfect storm to get that production out of him, and this year he'll dip down towards the back end of RB2s. Still, I'd be super happy with either Miller or Forsett as an RB2, and Miller as an RB1 assuming that meant I was starting two WR1s or Gronk and a WR1 or whatever.

Ehhh, that's being unreasonably optimistic. He finished somewhere like WR#45 in half PPR. Seattle added Jimmy Graham, whereas last year Baldwin was the undisputed top target. He's not a threat for redzone looks with Lynch and Graham there, and any uptick in passing volume is going to go to Graham (and maybe Lockett). He was only borderline rosterable last year, even in a 12 team league with start 3 WRs, nevermind a 10 team league with 2 WR and a flex. And his situation only got worse.

I'm never going to question Jeffery or Evans either, so I like that trio as every week starters. I trust my ability to acquire WR2/3 candidates over the course of a season so I focused more on high upside gambles for the end of the bench. The RBs wound up being sketchier than I wanted but they all catch passes so I'm going to get 10+ points out my RB slots most of the time, I believe. Not sure why you're rostering Gillmore. Janis is also a very long shot. I like the RBs on your bench, though. You're still really weak at RB, but odds are at least two of the guys you have should put up top 30 numbers or better.

Anisocoria Feldman posted:10 team 0 PPR league with pick #6. Standard scoring except 6PaTD. Miami...wasn't drafted? Luck is great in 6 pt passing TD, your starting RBs and flex are great, your depth at RB with Joique and Blount is solid, but your WRs are pretty weak. In standard scoring, I think Allen and Cooper struggle to break 130 points (say, 1000 yards and 5 TDs), putting them at bottom tier WR2s. The top 10 receivers last year scored between 180 and 250, so you're at a pretty serious disadvantage there. If you had like Jamaal Charles and Lynch at RB, I'd say it wouldn't really matter and you'd overcome that weakness at WR. But with Murray and Miller likely being low end RB1s, I think you're going to need an OBJ-like year from Cooper or Allen, or for Murray to repeat last year, and I don't see it. Still, you've got depth at RB and WR, so you'll have a nice resilient roster and can likely turn one of your WRs and Blount or Ivory into a quality WR once other teams' guys start dropping.

I'd rather have Rivers or Eli than Stafford straight up, and they're both cheaper too. Otherwise, looks good. Starting 1 RB and 3 WR will have you in a good position, and if Keenan Allen disappoints again, starting both Fotser and Miller is not at all a bad option. Having Parker as your only bench WR is pretty weak, though. I would have vastly preferred another WR at your Stafford pick and then a QB with your 9th or 10th.

T Bowl posted:
Russell Wilson was likely a poor pick for you unless he fell quite far, and your bench depth at WR and RB is lacking because of it. Crowell could lose a ton of work to Duke Johnson and seems certain to be ceding passing downs at least, Vereen is still behind Jennings and possibly won't even get the majority of the work if Jennings goes down (though he's a passable flex in a pinch), and Sankey is awful. White and Randle are passable bye week filler, but having to flex either regularly if one of your starters goes down will be rough. I would be desperately trying to trade Wilson + anyone on your bench for a top 20 RB or WR. Crowell and Vereen are ok, but you'd be looking a lot better if you used that Wilson pick (5th/6th turn?) on someone like Maclin or Allen Robinson or Ivory or Spiller .
