Old post (pre-edits of current information):

Need a draft date probably week 3 or 4 of preseason. (We could also slow draft in the forums if that's preferred.)

Need a draft order. (Random, or preference [like I want back end, front end or middle, then randomize within the parameters?])

League renewed. (Do you need to get added again if it didn't work?)

Need to discuss/vote on any rules changes. (Scoring Changes? Keeper? etc. )

I hate keeper

don't give 2 flying about the rest

Hugh
06-22-2017, 12:27 AM
Same. Keeper leagues blow, but we've never done that here so I don't see why we'd start now.

Sanosuke
06-22-2017, 11:18 AM
Fuck keeper.

Any weekend SHOULD be fine for me since I'm back in the states.

I'malive
06-23-2017, 01:04 PM
Ideal draft date for me would be a Sunday evening or any time on a Monday. I am also on the "fuck keepers" train, and am generally in favor of keeping things the same as they've always been in this league.

Hulky
06-23-2017, 01:08 PM
Another idea is we could do draft order either in placement or reverse placement of last year. Like Champ is #1 or #20. Runner up #2 or #19 so on.

Sanosuke
06-23-2017, 01:59 PM
If we have the exact same number of people confirm in the league I can get behind the "how you finish train" like the NFL's draft order.

Though the issue is anyone who was inactive basically got last and doesn't deserve #1

06-23-2017, 02:36 PM
In again if I can be. Also Sunday works for me

With random whoever was inactive can also be #1. You can also make it Champ = #1 and do reverse NFL draft style. #1 would be like a championship ring.

yeah whoever was in the league last year keeps there spot unless voted out or steps down.

Requested draft position of directly before bdog.

weekends are best

no keepers

randomize the order a couple weeks before

rule changes: i think that all players lock on sunday at 1pm. 1pm players should lock at 1, 4pm should lock at 4, etc. Is there a setting to change that?

Hulky

I'm not totally opposed to doing a performance based draft, but only if that's the majority opinion. Wouldn't be my first choice lol

not to mention he just posted a few posts above

I wasn't really paying attention . Especially since blud and Philly have the same color names I thought it was Philly. Yeah I was referring to blud

anyone else agree with me about changing fumble scoring?

Hulky
07-10-2017, 11:14 AM
wasn't the fumble changed last year? (I haven't logged on to look)

edit:
fumbles are 0
lost fumbles are -2

isn't that the changed way?

Maverik
07-10-2017, 01:54 PM
I know I'm in the minority here, but I hate that scoring change we did.

I think it was bludz who said it before, but whether the fumble bounces your way or not is relatively random. The real punish should be the fact that you let the ball go in the first place.

would rather see -1, -1 than 0, -2

or truly just -2 for fumbling at all

Lex

But that's retarded as fuck. A fumble that your team recovers is no different than being tackled. You don't lose points for that.

Maverik
07-10-2017, 07:51 PM
we're drafting individual performances though

his performance faltered and he isn't getting any punish

Lex
07-10-2017, 08:41 PM

We don't take points away for drops, or tripping, or penalties. It makes no sense to lose points for a fumble that doesn't lose possession.

Maverik
07-10-2017, 08:45 PM
it also isn't possible to

it is for fumbles and incomplete passes

both can lead to the same result too

Hulky
07-10-2017, 08:49 PM
Do you guys wanna do defensive players at all? I am assuming 0 interest in that, but I say it was an option so...

Are you seriously still on about that? You act like you never made an incorrect prediction on a player before.

Maverik
07-13-2017, 03:45 AM
Doug Martin?

Hulky
07-13-2017, 12:18 PM
It was Doug Martin I think #2 overall. I was going to do Trent Richardson #3 overall years ago, but it messed up our draft order and I ended up taking him way later.

Maverik
07-13-2017, 01:46 PM
nah, he was #1 overall

Gryph
07-13-2017, 03:51 PM

Hulky
07-13-2017, 04:18 PM
I was about to say AP had a ~800 yard drop in yards from the year before so maybe Doug wasn't that big a bust in jest (~2000 to ~1200), then I saw Doug had like a 1000 yard drop in stats lool

Sanosuke

Nope

nothing was that hilarious though

if I remember correctly, the best part was you making a big deal about being secretive and telling us all you were gonna bring something spicy to the table and show us all up

Hugh
07-14-2017, 12:20 AM
I remember that. I did a live draft years ago at a pizza place and this guy in the league walked in with a big envelope marked Top Secret. It had his picks inside.

IROK
07-14-2017, 01:53 AM

if I remember correctly, the best part was you making a big deal about being secretive and telling us all you were gonna bring something spicy to the table and show us all up

I don't remember that (though you could very well be correct, it was like 4 years ago).

End of the day, Doug Martin was a beast his rookie year (I don't remember where he placed in our scoring system but I know he was a top 5 RB in most formats), and I predicted he would have the same sort of impact his second season. Clearly, that didn't happen, between injuries and poor play when he was healthy. Shit happens. It's not like it's the first time or the last time a player has been a bust.

Hulky
07-14-2017, 10:28 AM
2012: Matthew Stafford
2013: Trent Richardson
2014: Montee Ball
2015: Julio Jones
2016: Eddie Lacy

I've drafted one non-bust in the first in the last five years lol

07-14-2017, 11:51 AM

as for fumbles, i think it's 0 and -2 right now which is standard and i'm ok with.

bludhoundz
07-16-2017, 01:40 PM
BTW Hulky, it might be this setting

Time players are on waivers

Cuz if it puts all players on waivers at 1pm then yeah. It should be at game time for each player

Hulky
07-16-2017, 07:36 PM
That's not draft order, just who is in.

On the waiver thing the settings say we can only edit them post draft. So I don't know the exact settings available.

have no idea who to take first this year. maybe doug martin.

Hulky
07-17-2017, 11:54 PM
Taking like Jordan Howard #1 would be similar to Doug Martin back when IROK did it I think. Like the rookie that had stupid good numbers, but has no team around them.

Maverik
07-19-2017, 06:49 PM
Sano, who you takin

I know who I want

Hugh
07-19-2017, 07:10 PM
Taking like Jordan Howard #1 would be similar to Doug Martin back when IROK did it I think. Like the rookie that had stupid good numbers, but has no team around them.

That's true, but Martin got hurt. The team around him probably had something to do with that, but you still can't predict it. Martin rushed for 1,400 yds and 11 TDs then missed 12 games the next year. That's fucked but it happens.
Martin wasn't a horrible gamble is my point. I think picking Howard 1st overall would be quite a bit worse.

Maverik
07-19-2017, 07:14 PM
it was a pretty bad gamble

obviously there is worse, but that was pretty bad

Hugh
07-19-2017, 07:23 PM
Adrian Peterson was #1 in fantasy points in 2012 by a long shot. He smoked everyone.
#2 was Doug Martin. It was what it was.

Hulky
07-19-2017, 07:36 PM
Jordan Howard only started 13 games and had over 1300 yards and 6 TDs.

Hugh
07-19-2017, 07:44 PM
Yes, Howard looked great. We all saw him. Martin had 12 total TDs his rookie year and almost 2,000 total yards? He was also a 1st rounder and Howard went in the 5th. Not saying that means more than it does, just saying.

Maverik
07-19-2017, 07:49 PM
you should take him with your first pick, Hugh

show us who really wears the think beard around here

Hugh
07-19-2017, 07:50 PM
I know Tampa completely shit the bed after Martin's rookie year and didn't start getting better until they drafted Winston, but I thought that was a surprise. I thought they'd at least be an average team that could run the ball, and I thought Martin was a rising star. It's not like they had a passing game.
Obviously that didn't happen, but I have even less faith in Chicago right now. I think Howard gets his ass handed to him this year.

Hugh
07-19-2017, 07:51 PM
you should take him with your first pick, Hugh

show us who really wears the think beard around here

Martin or Howard?

Hugh
07-19-2017, 07:56 PM
What if there's a new player named Martin Howard?
Or Howard Martin?
How...weird...how words...like...Howard...would...how.
Fuck it, I'm taking Beast Mode.

Maverik
07-19-2017, 07:59 PM
if you take Beast Mode, Howard or Martin in the first round, I'll resign that your think beard is strongest

Sanosuke
07-19-2017, 08:02 PM
Sano, who you takin

I know who I want

prolly a QB or Antonion Brown. idk yet.

Hugh
07-19-2017, 08:03 PM
Jordan Howard's nickname this year is gonna be East Mode whenever they're facing the west end zone.

Have you really though?

Sanosuke

I think people should reach out to everyone once or twice. If people miss the draft or if they missed the draft last year they need to be the first ones on the chopping block.

Yeah, I have tried several times for sure. I played in the second league once or twice, but never made it to the main one. I think people usually just beat me to the waiting list.

how conceivable is it that i could get shady and zeke again due to zeke's suspension?

Maverik

I wouldn't touch Zeke until at least the 3rd

bludhoundz
08-21-2017, 10:40 PM
zeke will play less than half the fantasy season unless you make playoffs

he will (probably) drop into the 2nd round, but i doubt past that

Hulky
08-21-2017, 11:12 PM
Zeke's on my big board for pick 7 overall

Maverik
08-21-2017, 11:16 PM
...

is that because you're pick number 7?

Hulky
08-21-2017, 11:19 PM
yeah I'm considering him at the 7th pick.

We start only 1 RB 2 WR and a flex. Assuming David Johnson/LeVeon Bell/Brown/OBJ/Julio/Rodgers are the first six, it's Brady Zeke Evans I think.

bludhoundz
08-22-2017, 09:28 AM
I fuckin dare you to take Zeke 7th overall, Hulky

bdog1321
08-22-2017, 09:47 AM
I'm considering zeke/Romo back to back at 20/21

Maverik
08-22-2017, 10:41 AM
I fuckin dare you to take Zeke 7th overall, Hulky

I really hope he does

Hulky
08-22-2017, 11:17 AM
1. David Johnson
2. LeVeon Bell
3. Brown
4. OBJ
5. Julio
6. Rodgers
7. Brady

is basically how it will fall, maybe out of order though. Like Odell almost blew out his knee last night. If that happened and he was removed from the pool I think Evans and Zeke would be close at #7. Evans is great all year, but WR is much much deeper than RB and I'd rather have Zeke probably. You only need to be the 8th seed. Usually its a couple 8-5's to round out the playoffs.

I will 100% take him my second round pick if you are all waiting for the third though.

The Butcher
08-22-2017, 11:21 AM
I took johnson

Maverik
08-22-2017, 12:09 PM
I like Bell over Johnson.

new contract, easier schedule, better team

Hulky
08-22-2017, 03:48 PM
dude has held out all summer and doesn't have a new contract, he has been tagged.
Johnson - DET IND DAL SFO PHI TBB LAR SFO SEA HOU JAX LAR TEN WAS NYG
that's pretty fucking easy, like can you really ask for more than Titans, Redskins, Giants for the playoffs?

Bell - CLE MIN CHI BAL JAX KCC CIN DET IND TEN GBP CIN BAL NEP HOU
because Baltimore, New England and Houston is a better schedule in the playoffs????

Johnson is way better schedule wise and basically equal talent wise.

Lex
08-22-2017, 04:03 PM

The giants, titans patriots and ravens were all top 5 rushing defenses last year. They're both pretty rough schedules. I think the steelers are going to be a better team than arizona, so if bell actually signs his contract and plays week 1, i can see the pick being personal preference.

Maverik
08-22-2017, 04:14 PM
he will sign and play Week 1

both him and Art have been pretty vocal about their plan

its the exact same thing Eric Berry did last year

bludhoundz
08-22-2017, 05:10 PM
Cant go wrong with either guy imo. Johnson is more explosive in my eyes which is why I have him with a slight edge

Hulky
08-24-2017, 04:03 PM
Did a random NFL.com standard 10 man draft.

QB: Tom Brady (herp derp QB2, interestingly [imo] I noticed Big Ben went in the last round, so if in small leagues if I dont get Rodgers or Brady I'm waiting.)
QB: Jameis Winston (Plays Saints on Brady's bye, and Jets when Brady plays Denver the week after Brady's bye)

RB: Jordan Howard (Was him, Zeke, Gurley, Lynch in order for RBs taken at or after this pick. [then someone took Sproles?!, then Lamar Miller])
RB: Dalvin Cook (Crowell, and Mixon also left the board then I took Dalvin Cook.)
RB: Doug Martin (Both of my RBs have bye 9, Buccs play Saints that week, so I picked Martin)
RB: Jamaal Williams (Both of my RBs have bye 9, I think Jamaal Williams is the starter by then, if not it's long enough away to come up with another plan on waiver.)

WR: Odell Beckham Jr (First round pick, 4th overall [after Brown, Johnson, Bell; in order])
WR: Brandin Cooks (I think Cooks is a really high upside WR2 right now so I'm happy to ride this experiment also having Brady/Cooks for double points if it works out)
WR: Keenan Allen (This is my primary flex, as long as he is healthy)
WR: Kelvin Benjamin (I have an obvious bye 9 problem [Allen, Cooks, Brady, Cook, Rudolph] and Benjamin plays the Saints that week. Also when Allen plays DEN, Benjamin plays SF. Allen KC, Benjamin Saints. Allen Giants, Benjamin Detroit. Allen Denver again, Benjamin Chicago. Allen NE, Benjamin TB. Also Saints on Allen's bye [9].)

TE: Kyle Rudolph (Wasn't my first choice, but I think he's fairly safe; also bye 9)
TE: OJ Howard (High upside, but rookie so I dont want him as my every day starter. Has Saints for Rudolph's bye though)

K: Pittsburgh (Late enough bye for my kicker. [lol also 9] Will likely switch for someone else after a decent enough early bye kicker is cut.)

DST: Houston
DST: Jaguars

My two D's have this schedule: 01 JAX 02 CIN 03 BAL 04 JAX 05 KC 06 Ram/CLE 07 IND 08 SEA 09 IND/CIN 10 RAM 11 CLE 12 BAL 13 IND 14 SF 15 JAX 16 SF

The playoffs of SF/JAX/SF is fucking nuts imo

bludhoundz
08-24-2017, 10:11 PM
in my opinion you pay too much attention to bye weeks and strength of schedule when we aren't totally sure who will be good for what positions.

like saying that OJ Howard has the Saints on Rudolphs bye doesnt mean anything to me. sure they've been a poor defense for a few years now, but its no guarantee they're as bad this year or that positive of a matchup for TEs

the team looks good, a bit thin at RB for my tastes though

manonfire101
08-24-2017, 10:27 PM

Hugh
08-26-2017, 12:47 AM
It's a good point and concern, but I think it's a little late to charge it now.
20 people ready to draft this weekend. Maybe next year we don't draft until after the last preseason game. Still, if everyone wants to move it out another week I'm fine with it.

bludhoundz
08-26-2017, 01:57 AM
I think we should just stick with the time we have. This happens every year and there hasn't been some huge push to do the draft right before the games start, so I don't see how it's that big of a deal. If everyone's down then I'm fine with it but yeah.

Sanosuke
08-26-2017, 02:03 AM
nobody important is gonna play week 4 anyways.

Hulky
08-26-2017, 02:56 AM
Like Sano says starters don't play preseason game 4.

Hulky
08-26-2017, 03:04 AM
My money league:
QB: Matt Ryan and Cam Newton
RB: Leveon Bell, Dalvin Cook, Jamaal Williams, Derrick Henry
WR: Brandin Cooks, Jeremy Maclin, Randall Cobb, Corey Coleman
TE: Jordan Reed, Martellus Bennett
K: Blair Walsh, Robbie Gould
DST: Denver, Houston

(you need exactly 2 qb 4 rb 4wr 2 te 2 k 2dst | must start at least 1 RB and 1 WR, with a total of 4 (3/1 split, 2/2 split, 1/3 split))

Those guys clearly don't watch football though since the Giants' D has its lowest projection of the season against Dallas without Zeke

I've had better teams, but I think this one's fine. The projections are pretty low on a couple of my players like P Rivers

why the balls are every team except mine and burnouts projected 70+?

Because Yahoo projections. Don't lose any sleep over it.

Hugh
08-28-2017, 02:22 PM
Pretty surprised Gypsy got an A+ draft grade. Not saying he drafted poorly, but A+? So he drafted perfectly?
Tyler Lockett is coming off a badly broken leg and hasn't played a snap in the preseason, Marshawn Lynch is literally coming out of retirement and AP is old as bawls and with a new team in a pass first offense.
Again, not saying they're bad picks necessarily, but the A+ grade surprised me.

bdog1321
08-28-2017, 03:45 PM
The way gypsy's team is set up, he will need everything to break his way (Pryor panning out in washington, AP getting significant playing time in NO, lynch not sucking, lockett magically coming close to those lofty projections) to even sniff the playoffs. It's possible, but he's basically the all-potential team this year

Hulky
08-28-2017, 04:03 PM
My team kinda is the all potential team too, but higher potential than Gypsy's I think.

Andrew Luck, legit top 4 QB but hurt. Wentz I think is a solid (if not the best in our league?) backup for the games Luck misses.
Keenan Allen, wouldn't be surprised to see 100 rec 1,200 yards and 10 TDs if he could do 16 games. Can he do 16 games? Prolly not.
Alshon Jeffery, was 1100-1400 yards and 5-10TD during the years he was healthy and with a good QB. Can Wentz be the good QB, and Jeffery be healthy?
Freeman is 1000 rushing 500 receiving yards and 10 TDs, unless he gets hurt or slacks off or whatever after getting paid/SB hangover.
Evan Engram is a fucking boss, or not because he is a rookie TE and that rarely works out. (Check dat route running/separation: https://twitter.com/art_stapleton/status/901894439446204417/video/1)
Darren Sproles: 26th and 20th RB the last two years in our league. He's old though, so who knows if that still flies.
Danny Woodhead: 8th RB in our league two years ago (last year lost to injury), but he was injured last year. He is dealing with hamstring injuries already.
Corey Davis: 1st rookie WR taken this year. Hurt this summer. I think he's the Titans best WR, but who knows how long it takes to realize that. Could maybe only contribute late, but maybe late is next year.
Mike Williams: 2nd rookie WR taken this year. Hurt this summer. Could replace Keenan Allen if Allen goes down.
Curtis Samuel: 4th rookie WR taken this year. Hurt this summer. Could be Ted Ginn 2.0 for the Panthers.
Texans: JJ Watt + developed/healthy Clowney. plz work.

A Tier Team:

Ladies and Edelman
QB - Matt Stafford: Always puts up points in our league based on volume. I expect him to put up a serviceable(with room to go past these numbers) ~25 TDs, ~10 INTS, 4500 PYDs and maintaining his 65% completion percentage considering he doesn't have super talented downfield threats anymore like Megatron. He's averaged roughly over 600 pass attempts every year for 6 years straight making him a good QB for roughly any team that didn't get the Top 3 S tier QBs in Brady, Brees, Rodgers.

WR - Ty Hilton: Will only put up huge numbers when Luck gets back, which it's possible Luck could start as late as Week 3-4 from what I've heard/seen and even then he won't be 100% with his shoulder. The longer Tolzien is the QB, the worse it looks to have taken him over Keenan Allen.

WR - Tyreek Hill: Explosive player but will have to depend on his speed to break free on a weekly basis. The whole league knows about Tyreek Hill at this point and will gameplan accordingly. I expect to see him still post top 25 WR numbers due to his return talents as well. He'll likely eclipse 100 all purpose yards on a weekly basis and gobble up targets in a thin WR corps for the Chiefs, but that's also assuming he's not playing against the best corners this season.


RB - David Johnson: no explanation needed.

TE - Antonion Gates: easily the weakest position on his roster for known reasons. replacement was already drafted and gates has a lot of mileage on him.

Flex - His entire bench: Mav probably has the best bench in the league in my opinion. High upside of Derrick Henry, especially if Murray goes down. John Brown is an injury concern but is a proven talent in Arizona with a passing scheme fit to his abilities. Depending on who comes out on top in the slot battle between Dion Lewis, Chris Hogan, and Amendola, his Amendola pick could have potential. Woods has shown flashes in Buffalo and hopefully he does something in LA and Julius Thomas used to be good but has fallen off.

(doing these a post at a time)

A Tier Team:

Brett Favre

QB - Aaron Rodgers: no explanation needed

WR - Davante Adams: proven to be one of Rodgers' favorite targets, the upside of having Adams is pretty straight forward. He's in a contract year and I'm certain he's going to have a great year along side Jordy Nelson

WR - Pierre Garcon/Kevin White: As the only bodies that are capable of catching footballs in their respective offenses, Pierre Garcon and Kevin White should prove capable of producing WR2-3 numbers in spite of the nature of the teams they play for. Kevin White was injured last year but if Mitch Trubisky takes the starting reigns at some point I'm pretty high on White. Garcon has been in the league a while and can produce. He has sure hands and has some speed left in him. Should see plenty of targets

RB - Kareem Hunt: Spencer Ware wasn't going to start for long to begin with, considering KC traded up to get Hunt in the draft. Hunt has fresh legs and true talent in an offense that really helps RBs get lanes via the dink and dunk. He has some receptions value to as the bellcow of the offense at the moment.

TE - Jason Witten: Father time can't stop this man with the exception of his Red Zone production. This is the weakest point of the roster.

FLEX: Paul Perkins: The rest of NYG's backfield is nonexistent even with Darkwa back there. Paul Perkins should get plenty of carries even if they're not super productive every run like the RB1s of the league. He's a good safe high floor low ceiling volume RB.

BENCH: Conner immediately steps up in RB2 territory if anything were to happen to Leveon Bell, Cupp could replace Robert Woods in the receiving game for the Rams but Jared Goff needs to prove he knows how to quarterback before Cupp has actual value.

Sanosuke
08-28-2017, 05:48 PM
other 2 A- Tier Teams:

Professor if he can get a RB that is an actual starter. Will be interesting to see Prescott be the focal point of the offense for the first 4 weeks. I think he actually benefits and increases in value with Zeke suspended. The sooner OBJ can get healthy, the better. Bradin Cooks went from one elite passer to another but in a better offense and on a better overall team. Anyone who expects him to not perform is crazy. Bennett is fully capable of leeching RZ targets but I don't expect much out of him due to GB constantly pushing the ball downfield. Jeremy Maclin is the only servicable option for Flacco and might actually be a better fit in Baltimore than he ever was in KC and Philly.

Manon if Mark Ingram gets the bulk of the carries ahead of AP, but that's making the assumption a team signs one of the best RBs of our generation and decides to not use him, regardless of age. Also dependent on Andrew Luck's return date with Moncrief on his team. Demaryius Thomas and Martavis Bryant are great receivers to have with where he drafted them. Jonathan Stewart should still perform well because McCaffery will most likely be primarily a receiver.

Sanosuke
08-28-2017, 05:55 PM
B+ teams

Gypsy has Tom Brady and a super high upside team if everything pans out. The ultimate gamble team imo thanks to a Lynch autodraft and AP selection. If Ingram goes down, All Day gets insane value. I'm a believer in Pryor and think he'll be a very productive WR now and in the future due to his massive size over other players. Also has the other TE in NE in case Gronk goes down. NE often runs two TE sets anyways. If Lockett gets healthy he's one of the very few reliable targets Wilson will have, he'll be looked at often once he's at 100%.

Lex has a proven baller in Derek Carr. If Jamison Crow pans out like a lot of people are expecting, that's a great value pick to have as a WR option and I personally think he'll do great. Thielen is a good slot receiver even though he's relatively unknown. Minnesota's WR corps isn't deep and Bradford isn't pushing the ball super down field in that offense. I think Thielen will be a great PPR player. Gurley is good just on a sheer talent situation but the Rams are abysmal and he won't be able to play his best until Goff is able to challenge opposing secondaries. Gronkowski I think was taken too early but his numbers when he starts are undeniable. I expect Lex just to ride the wave with Gronk until he gets blown up again this year come playoff time. Flex position is a toss up, he has capable bench players if Tevin Coleman doesn't reproduce to start over him which is pretty important.

Sanosuke
08-28-2017, 06:01 PM
B to B- ish.

Blud has the best players on the worst teams, which kinda suits his team name of "Discount" Belichick. AJ Green is a monster and will vacuum in targets but the Bengals are iffy. Rivers is a baller but the Chargers are iffy. Golden Tate is the #1 target on a Detroit offense. Crowell is behind a great oline in Cleveland but the QB play is garbage tier so constant stacked boxes. Bilal Powell has a high ceiling if Matt Forte can't defeat father time this season. Too much tread on the tires for Forte bodes well for Powell's future later in the season.

Thunder has a great team IF everyone pans out. The issue with Thunder's team is it's as if he drafted like we're still in 2016. Ajayi is the featured back but I highly doubt he reproduces the numbers he did last year. Big Ben has always been rock steady and is a constant top 10 QB in our league and constantly plays through injuries. Randall Cobb is good but has become second fiddle to Davante Adams and now will have to compete with Bennett as well for targets. Still, it's A-Rod so Cobb has value. Greg Olsen is a proven production machine in Carolina. Rob Kelley is a low ceiling mid floor RB without much competition.

Da Gyps
08-28-2017, 06:10 PM
The way gypsy's team is set up, he will need everything to break his way (Pryor panning out in washington, AP getting significant playing time in NO, lynch not sucking, lockett magically coming close to those lofty projections) to even sniff the playoffs. It's possible, but he's basically the all-potential team this year

I 100% would have not taken Pryor btw, that was an autopick.

I like everything other than my RB's. But I don't hate Mark Ingram. He should at least split reps with Peterson and give me points with short receptions. I don't really place a lot of value on RB's in this league, so that is what suffered during the draft. Also wish I would have gotten one of the 3 tier 1 QB's because I don't think Matt Ryan has the season he did in 2016. But I can hope.

manonfire101
08-28-2017, 07:21 PM
With Mattie I'm less concerned about the volume and more concerned with the efficiency. His passing yards and TDs are always high, I'm hoping he can keep the interceptions low and the completion percentage high. He was 3rd overall in our league in scoring last season because he had his best season in terms of picks thrown (only 7) and completion percentage (69.9%). I think he'll be a stud either way, but those picks and comp% will be hard to repeat. We shall see.

I always put entries into the first week of DraftKings

if somebody wants to take initiative, we should put together a line-up we all agree on and if we win big, I'll split the money with everybody who helps me

I usually do 2-3 line-ups and I've won at least $100 the past two years, I think I won like 400-600 or something two years ago

I don't have time to dedicate effort right now, but in the next week we should come to a group decision and make this happen

Gryph
09-01-2017, 11:43 AM
Or just stack a contest like a x10 multiplier and split it.

Ex : We find a 25 or 50 1$ entry multiplier, get 20 people to enter from the football league, if 3 of us finish top 3, we'll make 90$ on that contest alone, then just divvy it up at the end of the season

hulky's is by far the best rated at 91% chance to make the playoffs if you include his entire roster, goes down to 89% if you leave out davis and williams for pup, which looking at it this way seems pretty unfair that you can even use ir for pup players, he basically got 2 upside wrs for free stashed on his roster who aren't actually even on IR (or even on IR-designated to return). TIL yahoo allows you to put players who are on IR, PUP, and Out (even for 1 game)in your IR slots.

I don't really buy it considering they gave Mariota an A at QB in our league when he was like, 14th or something in our league. "Good for a 20 man league" is super relative and I don't feel like they're accounting for our points system fully which is true because they don't have a function for point per incompletion. They're also shitting on me for having Kareem Hunt(which is dumb because Andy Reid only ever uses one back) and James Conner(the best handcuff to have imo). Fantasypros is dumb.

Except Mariota isn't "so good". He's above league average which is is basically like saying Sam Bradford is so good. It's not a fallacious argument because, me personally, I'm not going to want to draft a player that's injured every year because that removed them from my fantasy team, which you want them to perform on. You made a crap comparison about Bell being a top scorer after missing games and being a top player so why can't Mariota and then try to say my argument is no good.

Derek Carr is as good or slightly better than Mariota. What QB you win the league with is as important as what RB or WR you won the league with. If I have weaker WRs because I took Rodgers overall, I won't win the league explicitly because I took Rodgers, just like Gryph or whoever got Carr won't win explicitly win because they got Carr.

You don't unless for some reason you thought we liked Mariota as a first round pick? He took Gordon #1, Kelce #2, Mariota #3. He also has Doug Martin who is a good flex in a couple weeks, and Larry Fitz + Eric Decker + Corey Coleman which is a very solid WR group without any high investments. His team overall is one of the best and part of that is because Mariota at the start of the QB run was a good pick. He easily could have a team with something like Keenan Allen instead of Eric Decker, but have Carson Palmer at QB or whatever.

This isn't even what I'm on about. The entire point I've been trying to make is that giving Mariota an A, which bdogs website did, is wrong. They didn't give him an A because of where he GOT Mariota. They just gave an A to Mariota himself which Mariota isn't an A tier QB. And if they give Mariota an A, then the rest of their rankings are likely wrong anyways.
