2015 Fantasy Discussion

[Urc Burry]

Drafts coming up in a couple weeks, and I haven't seen a thread yet.

Was wanting to get some input overrated players/sleepers/strategies etc.

I've been going back and forth on what I want to do with my 2nd rounder. I've done a few mocks, and I really want to take Luck in the 2nd.. but I just can't seem to get as good of a team that route.

Also for the later 1st round who do you take out of CJ Anderson, Jeremy Hill, and Demarco Murray? To me its between Murray and CJ.. Leaning towards Murray. I don't think there will be a huge dropoff for him this year like everyone else seems to think

Not a huge sleeper, but I've been taking Jordan Matthews in just about every mock. I think he is going to have a HUGE year and he will be great value. Even Agholor should be a good late pick. Also Martavis Bryant. I think they finally found the guy to take some pressure off of Antonio Brown. Lastly I like Ameer Abdullah.. he should be a great fit in that offense, and I saw that Bell is going to start the season on the PUP

You just traded Jimmy Graham and Travis Kelce for Golden Tate and Ladarius Green. Let that sink in.....

did the other guy catch you jerkingit?

[Discuss Thrower]

Because I couldn't make any other deal and I don't think Kelce is worth keeping on a consistent basis over a TE you can just stream.

Other deals I could have accepted:

Kelce for Agholor and Titans DST

Kelce and Decker for Charles Sims, Charles Clay and Eddie Royal

Aaron Rodgers, Tevin Coleman, Kelce, Decker, Moncrief for Vernon Davis, Ivory, Perriman, Denard Robinson and Mariota.

Well I'm 2-0 in the other league I'm in and would have made the playoffs in said league last year had Victor Cruz not shredded his ACL.

Not from my standpoint.

If you don't overdraft RBs, you lose because your team will be better at any of the three other slots, yet nobody will trade unless you take it on the chin value wise.

If you overdraft RBs, you lose because you'll be missing out on the other slots available and nobody will trade for one of your RBs unless it's an RB you can't reasonably part with.

I was drunk when I drafted, sure, but consider the RBs I could have drafted from rounds 1-4 and what I did draft:

Hill, Anderson, McCoy, Miller, Forsett, Ingram (Drafted Rodgers). No RBs between that and my pick where I went (Alfred Morris) instead of Gore, Hyde, Murray, Randle, Gurley, Gordon, Stewart, Ellington, Yeldon, Bell.

Next I took (Watkins) when I could have had Ivory or Ameer Abdullah. I took (Kelce) seeing a run on TEs instead of taking Bernard, Martin, Spiller, R Jennings, Arian Foster, or Ryan Matthews.

[DrRyan]

The offer has become giving up Kelce/Cobb/L Murray for ODB/M Lynch/J Reed. I'm still on the fence and not sure this make the team better. Giving up expected TE dominance each week and the likely #2 TE. Upgrading at RB, minimally at WR and significantly worsening at TE. Thoughts again?

Ben, Stafford
L Bell, L Murray, G Bernard, J Bell, J Stewart
AJ Green, Cobb, Landry, S Smith, T Williams, M Bryant, Dorsett
Kelce

[DrRyan]

I can't comprehend anyone thinking Kelce will not be better than waiver wire replacements. Mind. Blown.

[Discuss Thrower]

And, this just in, I give up Aaron Rodgers and Sammy Watkins to get Ameer Abdullah.

You suck at fantasy football. Quit now.

Here's the thing: I keep Graham, Kelce and Rodgers: I lose, because my RBs aren't good.

Nobody will cough up a RB for anything but the prices I've mentioned. So what am I supposed to do?

What's on the waiver wire?

For starters you could try drafting sober.

Waiver wire?

Marcel Reece, McCluster, Grimes, Damien Williams, Josh Robinson, Chris Polk, Mike Tolbert, Juscyzk, Dixon....

For comparison in a league that is set up most likely exactly the same with the addition of an extra Flex, my team is as follows:

Spoiler!

Roethlisberger, Bridgewater. Hill, Forsett, Taliaferro, Abdullah. Brown, Edelman, Wright, Decker, Lockett, Wilson. Donnell, Cameron, Sefarian-Jenkins. Panthers, Dan Bailey.
