Yeah I'm just trying to figure out what moves to make from here. I'm hoping D. Bowe will be a decent WR when he comes back. edit; Both those Denver WR's are available. Who should I drop for Caldwell? JIZZ DENOUEMENT fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Sep 4, 2014 |

Took a break from fantasy football during the last 2 years but came back this year and did an auction. I actually think my team is pretty good but looking for some feedback. I think I might've over paid for Lynch although the top tier backs all went for $55-$60 pretty early so I got a bit nervous. Do you guys think I should try to move him for more depth? $200 Cap: 10 team league league on yahoo. No PPR QB-Brees $46 RB-Lynch $49 RB-Stacy-$23 WR-Green $53 WR-Andre Johnson $15 WR-Edelmen $5 TE: Olsen $1 K: Walsh $1 DEF: Bengals $1 BEN:Sankey $1 BEN: Rueben Randle $1 BEN: Pitta $1 BEN: Fred Jackson $1 BEN: Brian Hartline $1 BEN: Russell Wilson $1

Just had my draft, 8 teams, .25 ppr, 6pt QB TD 1. (3) Matt Forte (Chi - RB) 2. (14) DeMarco Murray (Dal - RB) 3. (19) Julio Jones (Atl - WR) 4. (30) Le'Veon Bell (Pit - RB) 5. (35) Randall Cobb (GB - WR) 6. (46) Larry Fitzgerald (Ari - WR) 7. (51) Pierre Garcon (Was - WR) 8. (62) Joique Bell (Det - RB) 9. (67) Nick Foles (Phi - QB) 10. (78) Chris Johnson (NYJ - RB) 11. (83) Andrew Luck (Ind - QB) 12. (94) Greg Olsen (Car - TE) 13. (99) Carolina (Car - DEF) 14. (110) Mason Crosby (GB - K) I think my biggest problem will be that I have a bunch of week 9 bye players. I just missed out on Julius Thomas, and then Gronk after that, so I'm not to sold on my TE.

Did I ever have a weird draft for a 10 team league: 1. Adrian Peterson - 4th overall (really) 2. Drew Brees - 17th 3. Alfred Morris - 24th 4. Vincent Jackson - 37th 5. Larry Fitzgerald - 44th 6. Toby Gerhart - 57th 7. Jordan Cameron - 64th 8. Kendall Wright - 77th 9. Lamar Miller - 84th 10. Reggie Wayne - 97th 11. Pierre Thomas - 104th 12. Tampa Bay Buccaneers D/ST - 117th 13. Phil Dawson - 124th 14. Justin Hunter - 137th 15. Ryan Tannehill - 144th My computer froze for the last three picks, so I'm gonna try replace Hunter and Tannehill with Carson Palmer and Cecil Shorts. WR is gonna be interesting for me this year, but I feel like my RBs are gonna dominate. I never thought I'd be able to get Peterson, Brees and Morris with my first three picks. First four picks went: Charles, McCoy, Forte, Peterson. Elysium: Don't feel bad about Olsen, he's great value where you drafted him and the only accomplished receiver Cam has.

He's probably one of the better WR lottery tickets this year. I'm so used to him being a consensus top 3 pick, even with a down year he seems like a better option than Charles, though I would have grabbed Forte if given the chance. I don't know anything about Justin Hunter, or the Titans, really. Cecil Shorts might be pretty solid when Bortles takes over.

That's a pretty bullshit question when the true consensus is that honestly, it seems to change every day and all 3 are pretty interchangeable. Depends on how you rank them. Personally I have 3 RBs in the top tier, and they are Forte, Shady and Jamaal. AP is at the top of my second tier, so of course those at the top/bottom will blend up or down as the season goes. The notable strikes against AP's ADP this season, though, are that he tapered off towards the end of last season and the MIN overall offensive scheme is not as robust as the other guys, which means that defenses can risk less by gameplanning around stopping Peterson.

Something else to consider is that in PPR AD should not even be in the discussion for top pick and honestly probably shouldn't be taken until third at the earliest. Since Filthy Casual never said what the settings are we can only guess what it is but PPR is seemingly taking over as the standard.

Last draft of the year. Drafted 9th. 12 team, PPR: I was generally unhappy with this draft, but I think it's pretty strong. This is probably my most competitive league, I think maybe 8-9 teams are really competitive and maybe 2 are shitters. I took Thomas and Marshall 1-2, obviously, but at 3.08 one of the better guys in my league took Doug Martin, who was all queued up on my list. So I had to go value and take Garcon for my Flex, as the RBs left just weren't worth it IMO. That left me with Gerhart and Bell as my RB1/2, which I'm not too happy about. I think Bell has RB1 upside, though. My depth is better than many people in the league, I think, but Bradshaw is a "maybe TRich is just hosed" option and Cunningham is a "I hope Stacy is as lovely in the regular season as he has been in the preseason" option. Definitely living and dying on my WRs this year. It's also the only league where I took a mid-tier QB like Foles rather than one of the last starters off the board. His value was just too high to skip in the 6th. ShaneB fucked around with this message at 17:03 on Sep 4, 2014 |

I really feel like the positions even out and it puts a fun spin on the game. I really like the depth that I have here. My running backs and wide receivers are pretty well stockpiled and should be able to absorb the shock of an injury or two. I took a really big gamble in waiting for the 9th to take a QB. Romo was lurking in the 8th, but I really didn't want to put all of my stock in the Cowboys having already picked Murray and Dez. Cam was a nice selection. Hopefully he can score a few rushing TD's. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts!

I'd love to see how you came about getting that. Did you just pick off WR's the first few rounds? I did something similar going WR RB RB WR in my league, but did you go WR WR RB RB? I think that's where the strength/major weakness came into play. Don't get me wrong, anything could happen and you could roll the league. I just think you're going to need to be active, especially if someone falls victim to injury.

I did something similar going WR RB RB WR in my league, but did you go WR WR RB RB? I think that's where the strength/major weakness came into play. I was set up to take Martin in the 3rd but he got taken one before me. The guys left were in the Morris/Bush/Stacy/Tate tier, so Garcon was pretty clearly a better pick there for me. I was glad to end up with what are pretty much 2 4th round RBs in Gerhart and Bell in the 4th and 5th respectively. Although you could say Garcon usually goes in the 4th as well.... I'm not sure how else I would have done it looking back. I don't trust Stacy, Tate, Morris, and I think Bush will regress even further while Bell steals more touches AND catches.  Not sure how else I would handle this situation again. Probably do the same thing! I took Foles in the 6th thinking Thomas would last back around to the 7th like he usually does (or further!) but he went earlier than I expected. So that impacted my RB depth more than I would like. This is why I generally prefer to take a QB late, because it kind of screwed me a little. ShaneB fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Sep 4, 2014 |

Adrian Peterson is going to catch over 45 passes this season. That's 7 less than McCoy had last year. He's going to be just fine in PPR. He's just as worthy of #1 overall as any of the other three, it's really a matter of personal preference.

Had my two drafts last night. Both 1 PPR, otherwise standard (QB/RB/RB/WR/WR/TE/Flex). Tell me how badly I screwed up, and how to fix it: I didn't love taking Foster here, but everyone I wanted was already gone. It's PPR, so if he can have some semblance of his old form and stay healthy... gently caress. I hate risky first round picks. I was pretty happy to find Ball in the 3rd, though. Jordy is ok at WR1, Cam was probably a mistake, I like VD where I got him, and I like my depth (with a few lottery picks thrown in with Hyde/Sankey.)  This draft I had decided if I didn't get one of the top 4 RB's, then gently caress RB's. I've never really went WR heavy before, so I don't have the first goddamn idea what to expect from this team. Thoughts?

 Picking at 12 in a 12 team 0.5PPR. I really hate this spot, the huge gaps between picks screw up my strategy too much. I think I should have gone with Moreno over Hyde at the top of the 8th, but that aside suspect I avoided glaring errors and ended up a team that could either boom hard or bust hard. Hopefully the busting makes itself known early so I can patch things up from waivers. I usually like to draft consistency so I kind of hate this right now, is that legit or just a symptom of being out of my comfort zone maybe?
