FF Football : who are you taking this year - Page 4

BleedingRed · 09:14 PM

For me I always have followed my method of drafting the same every year. I play in a 12 man league that has been on going for 6 years. Normal point format.

I always take THREE RB's in the first three rounds. I have won the chip twice in 6 years and made it to playoff every year but one.

This year the top three I'm looking at are....

Zeke The Freak - Round 1
Lamar Miller - Round 2
Justin Forrset - Round 3

(This is assuming I'm picking around number 7 in a snake draft format.)

Who are some sleepers you think I should look out for?

Damn that's a tough one, but I'd probably go with Elliot.

He's going to be running behind the best OL in the NFL for the majority of his career.

As for Cam/Rodgers, I wouldn't take them until the 3rd, or the very end of the 2nd (12 team).

Yeah I'm on the fence, but I'm leaning Elliot as well. Draft is Sunday, so we shall see.

You should take Sanders and Thomas. Sanchez will be lighting it up this year./Knowshit

So I'm torn between him, Devonta Freeman who would cost me an 8th, or Blake Bortles or Tyler Eifert who would both cost me a 16th.

Robinson for a 7th, Freeman for an 8th, and Bortles for a 16th seem like steals to me. I'd keep all 3, but that's me.

Freeman is a top 10 PPR back, I wouldn't let him go. Eifert probably won't put up 13 TDs again. I couldn't keep him over Freeman.

I've seen Robinson and Freeman both in top 20's on PPR Overall Rankings and I think they are safe bets.

In fact, if you can keep 4, I'd probably keep AJ Green as well that you got with your 2nd. Not sure if you have a limit.

So recap keeps:
A.J. Green - 2nd
Allen Robinson - 7th
Devonta Freeman - 8th
Blake Bortles - 16th

Those are all huge values in a 12 man PPR league.

He was really ****ing good towards the end of the season, and he might be this years Allen Robinson.

I love Duke, but Crowell is going to get his, and probably more TD's. Jones and Langford were both well under 4 YPC last year. I go for the talent in a keeper league and Parker has more upside than anybody on that list.

I thought about Parker but being the #2 option in that offense......and the fact that he's now got a hamstring injury in camp makes me weary of keeping him.

Sterling Shepard (NYG) has nice appeal in the later rounds. I also think Fleener can be a top 3 TE this year, maybe tops!

The hamstring issue is a concern, especially considering he had injury problems last year.

If healthy though, I think he'd be their #1. He's more of a true #1 WR than Landry and has more upside.

I also expect Eric Ebron to have a HUGE season.

Profootballtalk reports "retirement remains an option" for Ladarius Green as he deals with recurring headaches.

Per Mike Florio, "rumors" of Green's headaches have been circulating since the beginning of camp. In a bit of unnecessary deception, the Steelers had been insisting Green's absence was related to his offseason ankle surgery. Florio reports the Steelers could "eventually" release Green if the headaches do not subside. With the news finally out in the open, developments figure to come at a rapid pace. It goes without saying Green should no longer be drafted as a TE1. He's a high-risk TE2 flier.

Yeah, I read something about this in the training camp thread. This guy could have been a monster in Pittsburgh. He was overshadowed by Gates. Terrible news.

Haha, the issue is I can only keep one. I've ruled out Eifert as well.

If only one it is Robinson and it's not even close. The QB position is arguably as deep as it has ever been (for fantasy anyway) so I would consider it a favor if anyone kept a QB. I won't avoid Freeman this year but there are many RBs with lower ADP that I like more. He had what 3-4 great weeks to start last season then fell off a cliff.

I don't wanna touch Freeman,

BTW SLEEPER PICK

Kevin White - WR - Bears (watch his College tape, guy is disgusting)

WR's don't succeed without a good QB. That's the only reason why I'm on the fence with this guy.

I'd go with Robinson. Best value overall in that group.

mcaj22 · 08-14-2016, 08:43 AM

If I'm picking 11th or 12 in a PPR league, is it okay to reach in that scenario? A lot of mocks I did I'm not really sure the difference between an Allen Robinson, Jordy Nelson, or Brandon Marshall. Is it okay to grab 1 one of them then reach for say a Sammy Watkins who won't be there when you pick again? For that boom or bust factor? Is that a viable idea or no? (Obviously the ideal scenario here is if Dez falls to the end of the first round, but that's only happened about 50 percent of the time in the mocks I've done)
