Standard 12 team league, had 5th pick, turned out to be a ok team in my opinion. Thoughts? QB: Stafford RB: Lacy RB: J. Bell WR: Roddy White WR: C. Patterson WR: Keenun Allen TE: Kyle Rudolph FLEX: Fred Jackson DST: Bills K: Phill Dawson
If you can't draft Manning, Brees, or Rodgers with your FIRST ROUND PICK you absolutely wait on QB this year. I think 4-16 will all be fairly close and it will be hard to predict who finishes best in that remaining group. Furthermore, some of the guys 17 and beyond will have a chance to finish in the top 15.
No offense but that is a horrible team. You took Lacy with the 5th overall pick? He may not even finish top 5 at his own position. How are you gonna have the 5th pick and not end up with one of these guys (McCoy, Charles, Peterson, Jimmy Graham, Manning, Brees, or Megatron) All the rest of your guys should be picked 4th round and beyond. I don't even know who you took in the (2nd round with pick 23) and (3rd round pick 26). I'm guessing two of Stafford, Keenan Allen and Roddy White? I bet there are some super stacked teams in your league at your expense.
That sounds pretty harsh bro....yet accurate. Majority of the time you can look at one's team and tell fairly accurately who they drafted in the 1st 3-4 rounds, but for this team I can't tell at all. It's obvious he took Lacy with his 1st rounder, but after that I can't tell. It does look like he may have reached with his 2nd-3rd rounder however.
Isn't he generally being taken in the 5th round? I've done a few yahoo pro leagues, and in the 5th round, the WR's usually drafted (in varying order) are Harvin, Patterson, Cruz, Floyd, DeSean Jackson, and maybe Crabtree.
You have terrible RB depth and your WR corps is either getting old or unproven over a preferable period of time. Not to mention your TE/K/DST are all pretty crappy as well. Suckage brah.
I agree... I usually wait until the 6th round to pick a qb.. All the 2nd/3rd tier qbs are the same to me and will get around the same number of points.
Question: I'm in a 10-team keeper league (1 keeper/owner), and the way we do keepers is instead of everyone giving up a 1st rounder, everyone gives up the round/pick, where they drafted their "keeper". Anyway, I've got the 7th pick in our league, and I've already used that pick essentially on my keeper LeSean McCoy, but my issue is, when it gets back around to me in the 2nd round (Pick 2.4), I'm not sure if I should take one of the stud WR's or take another Good RB? This essentially is going to come down to either taking Brandon Marshall, Julio Jones, Arian Foster, or Giovani Bernard. Who should I pair with Shady???
Stick to your rankings. Make a draft board and assess every player's value in terms of weekly point totals. Take the BPA off your board and stick to it.
Yeah, that's what I've been doing, but I'm considering taking the RB instead of the WR because they're SOOO many good WR's compared to good workhorse RB's.
Yup. Jones I'd consider a top tier player period if healthy. If not... I'd probably lean RB in non-PPR. Marshall? Only in PPR. RB's go down though. Depends on how risk adverse you are.
Need advice: Giving Calvin Johnson, RG3 and TY Hilton for Philip Rivers, Montee Ball and Brandon Marshall. Who wins? And why is Rivers ranked so low? Despite the fact that he's an ass, he put up some monster numbers last season.
Rivers he had two bad years prior, so it's a gamble based on track record. Couple that with the fact he always seems to be nursing a nagging injury. not sure how bad your RB depth is...but Montee Ball aint the answer. you are losing your shirt in that trade.
While I appreciate the advice, I'm not sure I agree with it. While 2012 may have been a little disappointing, 2011 he put up over 4600 yards with 27 TD's. Hard to say that's a bad year. The injury note is kind of ironic. That's one of the reasons I'd like to trade RG3, as he can't exactly be trusted to stay healthy. Rivers though, has played in EVERY game since the 2006 season. My RB depth isn't bad. I have Foster, Ellington and Deangelo Williams. I think Ball could pick up huge numbers being the premier back in Denver's offense. But that's why I come here to hear others opinions.
Do you really want to have Marshall and Jeffrey as your 2 main WRs? You won't get consistent point totals that way. Rivers had a complete **** offensive line and RB injuries the year before last, he performed a lot better with a better OL, now they have a solid RB corp and Keenan Allen. To me, Rivers is a safer bet than RG3. RG3 is an injury waiting to happen if there ever was one. Same thing Vick went through. Try that scrambling like a RB **** in the NFL and you don't last long.
It's non PPR. Yeah, I'm iffy on having both Marshall and Jeffrey. May try to flip one if I pull the trigger, however I like my WR depth. If I pulled the trigger, I'd have Marshall, Jeffrey, Mike Wallace, Mike Evans, Kelvin Benjamin and Rod Streater. Hope Wallace can have a bounce back year, Evans is starting opposite Jackson with McCown at QB, Benjamin I think is Cam's #1 and Streater is starting in Oakland. Decent chance one of those guys puts up a good season.
Yahoo Pro League; start QB/2 RB/3 WR/TE/DST/K I have Brady/Romo Lynch/Leveon Bell/Gore/Lamar Miller/Pierre Thomas Demaryius Thomas/Cobb/Welker/Decker Pitta Kansas City DST/Cincinnati DST I'm considering trading Lynch/Bell/Welker/P.Thomas for Adrian Peterson/Ben Tate/Jordy Nelson/Sammy Watkins. I'd be left with: Peterson/Gore/Tate/Miller Thomas/Cobb/Nelson/Decker I think this roster's projected points are slightly higher than the original roster, but I'm worried about Gore and Tate. Even though Gore hasn't missed any games in 3 years, he's 31. But maybe Hyde taking ~7 carries from Gore will maintain his durability? I also like Tate, but I see him as a huge injury risk. Also, the other guy's RB rotation is Peterson/Tate/Sankey. Another option I have is to wait and see if Tate/Sankey underperform and then trade Bell or Gore at a premium. What do you guys think?
I like Peterson and Nelson but I'm very leery of Tate and Watkins. I love Watkins but it is hard to see him becoming elite right away with a suspect QB and a coach who doesn't have a clue what he's doing offensively. In my opinion you'd be strengthening your starters but weakening your depth, which is a risky play.
