Several options left at TE although Tamme and Fleener are gone. I believe Olsen and Cook remain. Anyone who comments on this gets rep points BTW (only first 4 to respond actually). I typically don't need much insight but I'm thrown off by the settings.
I'm pretty high on Cook, but he needs to show some consistency. I'm hoping Locker will look to him more as a safety valve and give him a lot of cheap targets which would be good for PPR (kind of like Stafford did with Pettigrew last year). Olsen will depend on Cam's development. I think they want to get LaFell involved more too, and thats an offense built to run the rock. Kyle Rudolph seems like a stud in the making, but who knows if Ponder can get him the rock.
Positive for Olsen is that Shockey's gone, so hopefully he can pick up some more targets. Is Kellen Winslow the starter in SEA? But yeah, I think Cook is the best bet.
I like Olsen. He's gonna get his production from last year plus the production that Shockey provided at the TE position. Plus he's shown with Chicago that he can be a prime time TE, until he was outcast by Mike Martz's b.s. offense.
Winslow is available, I have no clue what his status is. Would y'all drop Little or Young? Or Romo...
10 team league, 6th pick. Not happy with my WR but figured with Hernandez & JGraham I'd be ok as I can roll with 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR 1TE, 1Off flex Gonna have to troll the waiver wires. Starting: Drew Brees QB NOR Steven Jackson RB STL Michael Turner RB ATL Santonio Holmes WR NYJ Jeremy Maclin WR PHI Jimmy Graham TE NOR Aaron Hernandez TE NWE Alex Henery K PHI Baltimore Ravens Def/ST Bench: Ryan Fitzpatrick QB BUF Michael Bush RB CHI C.J. Spiller RB BUF Miles Austin WR DAL Denarius Moore WR OAK Dan Bailey K DAL Philadelphia Eagles
Yeah, I really like the roster besides the fact that I have absolutely no bench and it's too Patriots dependent. I'll basically have a bad week during the Patriots bye week and when they play a good pass defense.
Why don't you trade Lloyd for a young RB like Trent Richardson or Doug Martin and some fillers with upside? I think you may want to look for a guy that's top heavy at RB since you're top heavy at WR.
Just had my draft for my work league, pretty standard scoring, no PPR, passing TDs worth 4pts. The only thing we do different than most everyone else is we combine WR and TE positions so WR and TE are essentially the same positions. I picked 6th in a 12 teamer and QBs fly off the board here. We start QB,RB,RB,WR/TE, WR/TE,WR/TE,K and Team Def. Here's my draft, how did I do, I like the team, we'll see how it goes. 1.06 - LeSean Mccoy 2.07 - Jimmy Graham 3.06 - Ryan Mathews 4.07 - Trent Richarson 5.06 - Vincent Jackson 6.07 - Shonn Greene 7.06 - Ben Roethlisberger 8.07 - Darrius Heyward-Bey 9.06 - Pierre Garcon 10.07 - Kenny Britt 11.06 - Jonathan Stewart 12.07 - Carson Palmer 13.06 - Buffalo Def 14.07 - Blair Walsh Roethlisberger Palmer Mccoy Mathews Richardson Greene Stewart Graham VJax Heyward-Bey Garcon Britt Buffalo Walsh First round went like this Drew Brees Arian Foster Aaron Rodgers Tom Brady Ray Rice LeSean McCoy Calvin Johnson Matthew Stafford Cam Newton DeMarco Murray Chris Johnson (RB) Matt Forte
Hey i need to know if this is a good trade. We have a 2 qb ppr league and one guy missed it so he needs a qb bad. I get Dez Bryant Ryan Matthews Deangelo Williams He gets Antonio Brown Heyward-Bey Blaine Gabbert (my 3rd qb)
my main concern is dez's potential i know he is talented but bey and brown seem like safer receivers. Matthews scares me but makes the deal great... ho hum it just seems that i always do trades that seem good but screw me.
My friend is offering me McCoy for Brees. Should I do it? My other 2 QB's are Luck and Fitzgerald and my other RB's are Lynch and J. Stewart.
I don't like the fact that you took 2 qbs. I am not a big fan of that, but I do like the fact that you took 5 quality backs. So you got a big advantage over the other teams in that department.
I don't think getting 2 qbs in necessarily a bad idea, but if your 2nd qb is going to be Palmer, then that's a wasted pick and I'll agree with you. If I draft a QB in the first or second round, I typically wont get another QB. my reasoning is, I invested such a high pick on that one position, I doubt a late draft pick would do me any good if my QB got a season ending injury (better than what a FA QB could do). And I wouldnt want to waste a mid draft pick to get someone half decent. However, if I draft a QB mid draft, I'd try and get someone else towards the end.
