Fantasy Football advice thread [2017-18]

But run defense is the only thing the Browns are kind of good at.

 

Love Legatron. Wish I had him. Other good kickers include Ghostkowski, Elliott and Bryant. I am riding Lutz the ROS. Funny thing, last year everyone was all over Tucker. Guess BAL's poor offense changed that...

 

Thanks @kevC and @YOLO that helps a lot! I will go with the consensus recommendations (Jeffery, Parker) and go with Shepard (huge targets and yards last week... should get plenty again vs KC). Allen may break out of his funk if Rivers is fully able to play and will use him in case Jeffery's ankle prevents him from starting. I also have Kelvin Benjamin in reserve too, though BUF is a scary play nowadays.

I'll still hope Davis goes off tonight (love his combination of speed, size, and route/catching skills)... I wish this was a keeper league... he is going to be a top ten WR.

 

I just picked up Harrison Butker back off waivers who is averaging 13.5ppg, close behind Young GZ at 14.56.

Tucker is still probably the best kicker in the league but variance is so high and the position is ALWAYS correlated directly to the most efficient offenses.

Kickers still don't matter.

 

i wasn't referring to BUF's defense... I agree, since they made the trade their defense has been pretty beatable. Instead, I was referring to BUF's offense. I have Kelvin Benjamin and Charles Clay and I am wondering if I should play either down the stretch. Kelvin appears to have gone from the frying pan to the fire. Just as he was developing any sort of chemistry with Taylor they change QBs. KB is my first choice if I need to drop someone.

 

LOL, well, I was a bit off....299 yards, 4 TDs, 29 fantasy points. Davis exploded for... 5.7 points. Yea, I didn't win that transaction. Luckily I sat Davis. Hopefully Cousins has a good game.

 

Eh. You should be fine.

Working on getting some more trades in. What do y'all think of this? I'm trying to cash in my depth for upgrades.

My Kelce, Fitzgerald, and Hyde for Le'Veon and Jimmy Graham?

My Fitzgerald and AP for Jay Ajayi?

Reasonable offers? Lopsided? Think the Ajayi is a bit lopsided but this guy needs players

 

Best TE ROS - Doyle, ASJ, Clay?

remaining schedules:
Jack Doyle - vs Bye, TEN, JAX, BUF, DEN, BAL
ASJ - vs Bye, CAR, KC, DEN, NO, WAS
Clay - vs LAC, KC, NE, IND, MIA, NE

 

Yes, I guess if its not Gronk, Ertz, Kelce and perhaps Graham and Engram, the rest of the TEs are so hit or miss that streaming is a reasonable approach. Even this week I am thinking about dropping Clay for Fiedo, Watson, or Gresham. People complain about Kickers... I'd eliminate TEs before I'd eliminate Kickers. heck, I wish Flex was WRTK...

 

Wish I had an extra roster spot to add LAC dst this week... plays against a struggling traveling BUF offense, with a rookie QB, and now...

 

According to Yahoo Fiedo is projected to get 10.30 standard points this week, so he seems like a decent play. I would hate flexing a player that wasn't going to get me at least 10 fantasy points. That's why I stack up my roster with extra RBs and WRs.

 

TE is actually not too hard to predict floor numbers. Yes there is scarcity in terms of high level production but that has always been the case with TEs. Streaming is also going to be hit or miss.

I think TE boils down to chemistry with QB and QB tendencies. Also matchup may factor in. Some teams play coverage that shuts down the middle of the field, other coverages focus on the boundary leaving the middle more open.

 

Or you could be like me and draft Zach Ertz in the 11th round.

*compensated for my plethora of other bad picks*

 

Traded Hyde, Kelce, and Carr for Le'veon and Jimothy Graham. How did I do? Standard League.

 

Added them this morning thanks to this post, worked out quite well
