Here's the offensive scoring settings: Passing Yards:1 point per 10 yards Passing Touchdowns:6 points Interceptions Thrown:-2 points 300-399 Passing Yards Bonus:3 points 400+ Passing Yards Bonus:4 points 50+ Passing Yards TD Bonus:1 point Rushing Yards:1 point per 10 yards Rushing Touchdowns:6 points 50+ Rushing Yard TD Bonus:1 point 100-199 Rushing Yards Bonus:1 point 200+ Rushing Yards Bonus:2 points Receiving Yards:1 point per 10 yards Receiving Touchdowns:6 points 50+ Receiving Yard TD Bonus:1 point 100-199 Receiving Yards Bonus:1 point 200+ Receiving Yards Bonus:2 points Fumble Recovered for TD:6 points Fumbles Lost:-2 points 2-Point Conversions:2 points Not very different from your league, but they tend to reach (as you can see) for their QBs early. This will be my first year with these guys but I was lucky enough to be warned about everyone's usual strategy going into this draft.
What I bolded, I'm saying the complete opposite. Did you see my breakdown of Rodgers vs Romo a few posts above? I'm saying the 50 pt dropoff in a few rounds is worth the wait because your dealing with roughly a 150 pt dropoff in RB. Dealing with the consistency factor, the largest part of this, in my opinion, is the opponent. If you have Rodgers, you're always starting him. If you have Romo and Dalton, you can play matchup and increase your chances of avoiding a bad game. I know what your saying with the consistent points in a top tier QB, but I don't think you can win a league without an elite RB and lots of RBs (the cover for the injuries you were talking about). Yes, last year if you went QB early and drafted Alfred Morris late, you were fine, but the QBs are better this year and I would never bank on getting a RB1 in the late rounds.
So here's my team: QB Stafford RB Jamaal RB Marshawn Lynch WR Roddy WHite WR Randall Cobb TE Gronk FLEX Lamar Miller Rams D/ST K Dustin Hopkins Bench: WR Cecil SHorts RB Giovani Bernard WR Golden Tate QB Josh Freeman TE Jordan Cameron RB Ronnie Hillman Wondering if I should dump Golden Tate and pick up Kenbrell Thompkins? Tate or Thompkins with more upside?
On my PPR league (12 teams), I wound up with... Ryan Charles/Wilson/Giovanni Marshall/Amendola/Shorts/Gordon/V. Brown/Broyles Cameron/Bennett Bears/Tucker I lost out on Gonzalez and Daryl Richardson at key points in the draft and will forever debate whether I should have let Ryan slide and went with Luck or Stafford a little later. But he's safe. I don't think I'll win it all unless one of my tight ends can produce in the top 5 at their position.
There are more views here so I'll repost. So has there ever been a clutchfans money league? Anyone interested in starting one?
Luckily Cameron can. Only 3 RBs is a mistake though. If Charles goes down with that foot or Wilson fumbles and loses a real solid role, this team will have lots of holes.
8-team league? I think Thompkins has more upside. Somebody is going to benefit from all those passes to Welker & Hernandez. Toss in Amendola's injury history, and I think he could be very nice. Of course it could be total misdirection with NE.
Yeah, missing out on Richardson killed me but I did not want to reach for an RB2 (RB2 as in genuine RB2 on their team's depth chart, not fantasy-wise). Several RB2's are still in the FA pool, there's only 5 bench spots.
Yeah 5 bench is brutal, but because of that, I don't think you can go 6 WR, unless you're starting 3?
I'm light at WR so someone has proposed me a trade. My current WRs: Victor Cruz/Torrey Smith/Lance Moore/Alshon Jeffrey/Brian Hartline My current RBs: Trent Richardson/Frank Gore/Eddie Lacy/Ahmad Bradshaw/Daniel Thomas The trade would be Frank Gore for Demaryius Thomas + Isaac Redman. Should I do this?
Do those people like wasting their money Pulling Charles & Lynch is damn lucky. Only league I'm in is Moes' PPR. Charles & Lynch were keepers. White went in the 1st round, Cobb in the 2nd.
Has anyone had the #1 pick and NOT taken Peterson? I feel like I have to take him. 4-pt passing TDs, PPR. Would love to hear a case for someone else.
It just went straight QB first round after AP almost, which was insane. So I got Jamaal late, I think pick 9. Then on the wrap around nobody had picked Lynch. I actually got screwed and they told me there wasn't a FLEX but there was, else I could've grabbed Alfred Morris in the late 3rd, but went WR instead with White then Cobb. I actually like Cobb better but was betting these folks wouldn't grab him and it worked. The fantasy analyst on Yahoo says you shouldn't take AP #1 overall and then pitches his guy, which I forgot who it is. Honestly, I don't think AP is going to have this "amazing season" like many predict, and in PPR, I lke him even less. But, the next 7 guys all have other question marks that make it impossible to pick them ahead of AP.
No way he duplicates last season. Seems like you have to take him though. Then consider trading him if you feel like someone else will have a big year and pick up an extra player.
I'd hate to have the first pick this year man. Personally, in PPR, I'd go with Martin but AP could easily finish #1.
Yes and no. Cruz also has injury concerns, Amnedola will be a very valuable PPR player, so I can see you taking him over Cruz. Cobb will probably catch 100 catches this year while being Rodgers' favorite target, I have him as my 6th best WR in PPR. I would always take Cobb over Amendola. BUT, Amendola does have good upside when healthy, but you can almost guarantee he'll miss games this year. So you're looking at Amendola for, lets say 12 weeks and you backup for 4 weeks, and if that's worth it to you, then maybe you're fine. I'll take Cobb though.
