Playing my first ever money league, snake draft with 11th pick out of 12 teams, so I was wondering about resources and shit like that.

Playing my first ever money league, snake draft with 11th pick out of 12 teams, so I was wondering about resources and shit like that.

Your first 4 picks (at least) should be black players.

[DeadlyDynasty]

First time since 2009 Megatron won't be my keeper :cry

[DeadlyDynasty]

My draft is in 4 hours...who are ya'lls top 10 RB and WR, respectively?

Here's the layout:

QB - Cam Newton (my keeper)
RB1
RB2
WR1
WR2
TE
Flex (WR/RB/TE)
IDP
D/ST
K

Only 4 bench spots (with an additional IR spot)--we made this change to make it even more competitive, and stop all the bench-hoarding that dilutes most leagues.


Snake draft...since I won last year I'll be picking 12 and 13th. My drafting philosophy is never to waste both top picks on RBs...they're too fragile and the 3-down back is all but phased out now. Also helps that I'm #1 on the waiver wire, so I'll scoop up whatever RB comes out of nowhere (happens multiple times every year).

With all that said, I haven't had much time to watch preseason or pregame for FF. The RB and WR rankings on ESPN look suspect, though...

[DeadlyDynasty]

:lmaofuck me...this team is like a bar skank under muted light

QB - Cam Newton
RB1 - Mark Ingram
RB2 - Thomas Rawls
WR1 - Amari Cooper
WR2 - Kelvin Benjamin
TE - Jared Cook
Flex - Ameer Abdullah
IDP - J.J. Watt
D/ST - Arizona Cardinals
K - Chandler Catanzaro

BN - Matt Jones
BN - Melvin Gordon
BN - Mike Wallace
BN -
IR - Tony Romo (same bye week as Cam lol)

[djohn2oo8]

lol Yahoo giving me a draft grade of C

That looks awful. How many teams are in your league? I'm not sure having a QB as your keeper is a good idea unless you got him really late and lose that same pick.

12

12

You need to get rid of Jones and try to find a WR with some breakout potential.

They should have traded him to the Vikings for a 3rd round pick.

Right now this is my Week 1 Lineup:

QB - Ben Roethlisberger, Andy Dalton
RB - Doug Martin, DeMarco Murray
WR - Antonio Brown, Alshon Jeffrey, Julian Edelman, Michael Crabtree
TE - Travis Kelce
DEFENSE - Patriots

Alshon. He's let me down too many times. Maybe it'll be his year.

:lol im hoping he'll consistently play like the night he killed the Cowboys.. We'll see

LOL. I hope you're not basing that pick (or any WR) on any game with the Cowboys.
He's a player that I wanted to like but that damn hamstring...

[spurraider21]

lol Yahoo giving me a draft grade of C
i've never given a shit about yahoo draft grades.... pretty sure i'm always near the bottom in every draft i do since i dont go with their cookie-cutter o-ranks when drafting

wouldnt be surprised if i had the lowest in our league a couple years back when i won it.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

QB- Andrew Luck
RB- Eddie Lacey
RB- CJ Anderson (he'll probably Fuck me like last year)
WR- Julio Jones
WR- TY Hilton
TE- Fleener
Flex- Carlos Hyde
K- Chris Boswell
Defense- Carolina

Bench
RB- Chris Ivory
RB- Spencer Ware
RB- Ameer Abdullah
WR- Randall Cobb
WR- Sterling Shepherd
WR- Kamar Aiken

Standard 10 team

any sleeper picks for draftkings besides Dak

Marvin Jones should be cheap. Even cheaper, Kenny Stills. Looks to be the WR2 in Miami and should put up good numbers.

everyone has been hyping up marvin jones, i dont know shit about that guy besides that hes an ex bungle. is stills really beating out devante or hes just injured?

thoughts on terelle pryor doing anything this sunday

With the Lions doing more no huddle, he should get plenty of balls thrown his way. From what I understand, he's a legit receiver.
Supposedly, Stills had already beat out Parker. During the preseason, when they went to 2 WR sets, Parker was never on the field with Landry. Just Stills. Dolphins have also made some negative comments about Parker and how he approaches taking care of himself.

[DPG21920]

Anyone have any start/sit questions before tomorrow?

[SpursforSix]

Anyone have any start/sit questions before tomorrow?

Arian Foster or Ryan Matthews. Got to start one or the other in PPR. It seems like Mathews is obvious. But wouldn't mind some confirmation.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Start 3 of the 5:

Mark Ingram (only lock imo)
Thomas Rawls
Ameer Abdullah
Melvin Gordon
Matt Jones

gordon is a lock there imo just because he has the most surely defined role... after that coin flip between the 3

[DeadlyDynasty]

He's (Gordon)na lock as the starter, right?

[Spur-Addict]

I wouldn't play Rawls. Gordon has a really tough matchup though @K.C. Otherwise I wouldn't hesitate given the options. He could have a good game but it's a definite roll of the dice despite being the clear 1st and 2nd down back.

I'd probably go Ingram, Abdullah, and Jones.

[DPG21920]

Arian Foster or Ryan Matthews. Got to start one or the other in PPR. It seems like Mathews is obvious. But wouldn't mind some confirmation.

Mathews for sure. He's as healthy as he will ever be, a rookie QB that will lean on the run and a bad defense. I love him this week.

[DPG21920]

Start 3 of the 5:

Mark Ingram (only lock imo)
Thomas Rawls
Ameer Abdullah
Melvin Gordon
Matt Jones

Ingram, Abdullah & Gordon. Don't love the matchup for Gordon obviously but he's looked great and no one else good enough to clearly overtake him even with a rough match up.

[spurraider21]

told ya to go with gordon :hat

[Holden_Caulfield]

told ya to go with gordon :hat
gordon is my nigga

[DeadlyDynasty]

i went with him...would like him to get involved in the passing game

[Spur-Addict]

I'd be weary of Gordon going forward. He only played 23 of 73 snaps, and that was with being up quite a bit throughout that game. Especially now with Keenan out, and the likelihood to check-down to Woodhead. San Diego doesn't exactly have a stellar defense or offensive line. Guy got lucky with two TD's.

[djohn2oo8]

Start Maclin or Demaryius Thomas?

[DPG21920]

I like DT for sure. You saw how bad that Colts defense was my man.

Pick 3 out of

CJ Anderson (lock)
Eddie Lacy

Spencer Ware

Also TY Hilton or Randall Cobb? Thanks

DT for sure. Colts are without #1 CB #2 CB possibly #3 CB and possibly #1 SS and #2 SS.

Freeman
Foster
Matthews

I think you're sol this week. He looks pretty stacked. Especially with Forte already putting up those numbers.

Who was you second pick??

I like my chances if Zeke and Langford get more than 50 yards this week. Hoping for a big week from Bailey as well. Also from a strategy standpoint, put in Crabtree to see if he gets the TDs over Cooper.

Still questioning Luck or Mariota for Week 2

[DeadlyDynasty]

I hope Danny Woodhead and Christine Michael get AIDS

Ok. Since you're trolling...your team is awful. Just terrible. I can't even imagine the draft scenario where that's what you end up with.

[ace3g]

35 pts from KC defense today!!!!

[DPG21920]

Joe Flacco continues to suck.

[djohn2oo8]

35 pts from KC defense today!!!!
I got 40 from Minny defense

[Trainwreck2100]

I got 40 from Minny defense
I benched Minny's D in favor of the cardinals :(

[Trainwreck2100]

Speaking of Minny's D, there's no way in hell I'm starting Eli this week so would Simien be a good bet? The available Qbs aren't much to look at.

[DJR210]

Man, my NE defense killed it, DeMarco killed it, Charles Sims killed it in place of Doug Martin.. I scored 117 this last week with modest games from Big Ben and Antonio Brown :tu

[ace3g]

10 man league, 7 teams @ 2-1 (including me), 2 @ 0-3, and 1 @ 1-2.

6 of the 2-1 teams are playing each other this week.

Week 4 match-up as of right now, my opponent picked up E. Sanders and Pryor off waivers for their open WR spot.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I have a big log Jam at WR.

Need some help on who to start out of.

AJ Green
Mike Evans
Emmanuel Sanders
Brandin Cooks
TY Hilton
Eric Decker

Running backs are locked up but should I play 2 WR and Jeremy Hill at flex or pick 3 WR?

wtf is this a 6 man league? Definitely play Green and Evans, and I'd roll out Hilton over Hill too but I could be convinced to start Hill, especially if it's a standard league.

Ha no its a 10 team standard. I thought I killed my work league draft, but the shitty thing is I'm 1-2. BTW I didn't play Hill at flex. Rolling with TY.

[ace3g]

Looks like it is going to be one of those days for Luck...

[ace3g]

Tyreek Hill, Inman, Gabriel, Rishad Matthews, Meredith. Need 3 WR for #FantasyFootball (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23FantasyFootball) championship.

Uh...Tyreek. Now you just need 2.

[808]

Championship game for me. Playing Bilal Powell and need one of Kenneth Farrow (@Cle), Doug Martin (@NO), or gimpy Lamar Miller (Cin).

The Browns hold the 31st rush d, and the Saints give up the 6th most FP to rb's...

[808]

Tyreek Hill, Inman, Gabriel, Rishad Matthews, Meredith. Need 3 WR for #FantasyFootball (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23FantasyFootball) championship.

Inman for sure. He's the go-to for Rivers, and the Browns allow the most passing scores and generate the least amount of sacks in the league.

I'd also roll with Meredith. Alshon will draw Norman, and Meredith will get Kendall Fuller (94th ranked corner). He'll have home field in the Windy City with only 2 mph winds.

I wouldn't chance Hill at all against the Bronco pass D. Maclin is also healthy again, and Kelce will probably be the safest way to move the chains. Spencer Ware could have a good day as well.
