Fantasy Football Talk- 2017
Let's make a thread to shit talk and talk in general about this fantasy football season.
I myself have a hard time locating some good research materials and for one, don't want to spend a shit ton of time on it. By making this thread, I am actually spending more time on this fantasy football season than I usually do. I have printed off some depth charts for WR and RB, which I think will help with the live draft and choosing players in mid to late rounds. Anything else you guys keep handy for the live draft? Post your teams and leagues here after drafting. Good luck!!! |
God ****ing dammit.
Mods, move this shit to the fantasy lounge for dumbass Lewdog. Thanks. |
I appreciate the effort here but I will still smoke you this year!!!
|
In all actuality, I get some good info from the CBS Sports guys. If you have the app it's an easy find out you can just look them up. I haven't nerded out as much with mock drafts and research as I normally do because of my recent schedule but I am starting to.
|
I havent liked CBS stuff as much since Nathan Zegura (sp?) left. He was all about facts instead of opinions. Took a job with the Browns a couple years ago.

Rotoworld Draft Guide. It's $19.99 but you can input your scoring into their website and it will give you cheat sheats and write ups based off of your scoring. I use it every year.

im in 2 leagues
i also am into another , pretty new fantasy type thing that I think Lewdog and other would be interested in. I will post about it pretty soon |
I do need 2 for my fantasy league. Its $40 entry fee, we use leaguesafe to collect the entry fee. PM if you are interested
|
I've done mock drafts every single day since early June, what do you want to know?
|
Where do you draft Tyreek Hill? I feel like he will be unbelievable this year. Probably the only Chief I draft, if I can get him as a steal...

Julio Jones Tom Brady TY Hilton Keenan Allen Julian Edelman Mark Ingram Tevin Coleman Martellus Bennett Derrick Henry Eli Manning Randall Cobb Then I autopicked the last 4 rounds. But as you can see, I value WR's. I get my sure thing WRs then draft RB's who are elite handcuffs or have huge upside and I expect to hit on them. I did this last year and took Demarco Murray as my RB1 in the 6th round. He turned out to be a steal. Also did it 2 years ago, where I didn't take a RB until rounds 8 and 9 and I won the championship. Last year I lost in the championship game, but finished with a 12-2 record. |

Hey online friends.
Had my rookie draft in my dynasty league in May -- traded up and took Mahomes since I have Rivers and Brees on my team. I have a redraft on September 2nd. I wish I was able to find one more league. Three is a good number. |

You will notice I have the two best TEs in the league. This was a new league I got in and no one was taking them even when their point values had caught up to the WR values. They laughed when I took both of them. I laughed at them when I took both of them. Not only did I get guys that will perform as well as any WR I could have taken then, I made it so no of you could have a top tier TE. I got both of those as my 3rd and 4th pick as I picked last in the 10th position.
Matt Ryan Atl - QB Golden Tate Det - WR Devonta Freeman Atl - RB Travis Kelce KC - TE Rob Gronkowski NE - TE Jay Ajayi Mia - RB Ty Montgomery GB - RB Justin Tucker Bal - K Seattle Sea - DEF Tyrell Williams LAC - WR Cameron Meredith Chi - WR Matthew Stafford Det - QB Marvin Jones Jr. Det - WR Jordan Matthews Buf - WR Ted Ginn Jr. NO - WR |
My draft this year. 10 team. Standard ESPN scoring. Strong on wides, weak on RBs. Hoping the sleepers do something for me there. My research this year was pretty sparse. Luck on the bench since he looks likely to miss the start of the year, I think Stafford should be a solid backup. We have one IR slot so I'll stash him there which allows me to pick another player when waivers clear Monday. Thinking of grabbing a D to stream so I don't have that NE matchup first week.

Hated my team when I first drafted. It's growing on me more now
11th pick in 12 team Winston/Stafford J Howard/B Powell/Hunt/Marlon Mack/Blount/Smallwood M Thomas/Jeffrey/Hill/Shephard Henry Bailey Chiefs D i almost hope Blount gets cut, and Smallwood wins the starting job. I really think Marlon Mack is a sleeper. Gore is ancient and Mack has looked really good so far. |
QB: Mariota, Stafford
RB: Elliott, Powell, Hunt, Abdullah, Jonathan Williams, J. Rodgers WR: Green, Hopkins, Moncrief, Parker, Zay Jones TE: Delanie Walker K: Lutz DEF: Eagles |
This is how I did in my money league. 10 team PPR. I picked 10th.
RD 1 - 10. RB - LeSean McCoy RD 2 - 11. RB - Melvin Gordon RD 3 - 30. WR - Brandin Cooks RD 4 - 31. RB - Leonard Fournette RD 5 - 50. WR - Jarvis Landry RD 6 - 51. TE - Travis Kelce RD 7 - 70. RB - Doug Martin RD 8 - 71. WR - Larry Fitzgerald RD 9 - 90. RB - Ty Montgomery RD 10 - 91. PK - Mason Crosby RD 11 - 110. QB - Philip Rivers RD 12 - 111. QB- Matthew Stafford RD 13 - 130. WR - Corey Coleman RD 14 - 131. TE - Hunter Henry RD 15 - 150. PK - Sebastian Janikowski RD 16 - 151. D/ST - Philidelphia Eagles |
Vance McDonald just got traded to the Steelers. My second TE is O.J. Howard right now. Do I make a move and swap the two? McDonald had some flashes last year and could be more dynamic in that Steelers offense. Howard is still largely an unknown.

I started a new league this season hosted at MFL where an owner can submit any line-up they want(10 required slots) but once you've used that player you can never use them again during the 17 week season.
So far we have 28 owners and are looking for more.I won't know payouts until I have a final number of owners but there will be a weekly high score pay-out as well. We did this last season during the play-offs and it was quite entertaining. |
Quote:
Howard might start the season in more of a blocking mode and second TE, and the Steelers are looking for a playmaker TE. My bench is pretty shallow, so I put McDonald on my watch list.. will be keeping an eye on him definitely. |
Quote:
The best thing I did was draft Hunt late rounds. I think he's gonna start in my Flex spot first week. |

I like Abdullah.. I think he is flying under the radar a bit.

Quote:
I've got Elliott, Hunt, Powell and Rodgers though.....so as long as he's healthy for the first 4-5 games.....I'm good. If he's healthy all season.....even better. |
I'm too Pats heavy and I need a trade idea.

What made you decide to draft 2 RBs and 2 WRs from the same ****ing team?

The question for me is how does the NFL Network justify having the Chiefs as the No.1 fantasy defense ?:shrug: We have no pass rush against good o-lines.
|
I would not offer Cooks/Amendola as a package deal. Noone wants them both on their team.
Same with the NE RB's, but maybe one will do well and you can trade him? |

Solid roster. Lacy might take Hyde's spot before it's all said and done.

Money draft last night 12 man league had the 12th pick,thoughts?
BTW,all owners have to carry 2 qb 4 rb 5 wr 2 te 2 k 2 def 2 coaches and we get 2 flex league is very qb and defense driven. Mike Evans Michael Thomas Big Ben Dalvin Cook Ameer Abdullah Jordan Reed Pierre Garcon Cardinals D(keeper) Hunter Henry S Gostowski Jamaal Charles Donte Moncrief Torrey Smith Danny Woodhead Deshone Kizer Pete Carroll Chargers D Chris Conley Alex Smith Bill O'brien R Gould |
Charcandrik West and Matt Jones both available in my 12 team league. Who should I pick up?

At this point in your roster ( i.e., the bottom of it) I would be looking for upside. |
Quote:
I almost got a Reed/Henry TE combo in my last draft but decided on Reed/Eifert. I'm not sure how many you start, but having to carry 2 TE's makes the cost of Reed absolutely worth it. Not crazy about Big Ben, but maybe your league drafts QB's super-early, like my main league does. (we start 2 QBs ) For a QB driven league, your backups are a bit weak there. Evans and Thomas are both WR's that I am for some reason, am not that high on, but most people are.. so I think that is a nice start. Abdullah is a bit weak as a #2 I think, although in general I like his value and ended up with him in a couple drafts |
Quote:
For a 12+ team non-PPR that looks pretty good. |
Here is my draft from my most interesting league with a bunch of old friends where I drafted eleventh. It is a 14-teamer, PPR, super-flex (i.e., you can start 2 QBs) league. Return yards also count for the returners, but I didn't really work that angle this year.
What if I told you that I took Luck in the 3rd round, and Alex Smith in the 5th round... you would think that my team must suck, no doubt. BUT, due to the format (and other league legacy reasons) QB's fly off the board. So, Luck was the 19th QB drafted and Smith the 26th QB. I tried to focus on other positions first, and was pretty ecstatic when Luck was there for me in the 3rd. Also, 8 teams make the playoffs, so I think the league is mostly about building for a playoff run.. Luck should hopefully be playing as a top-five QB again by then. Below is the team, with some of the rounds indicated: QB: Luck (3rd round), Smith (5) HB: Melvin Gordon (2), Todd Gurley (4), Abdullah (6), Kamara WR: Jordy Nelson (1), Sammy Watkins (8), Sanders (9), Diggs (10), Taylor Gabriel TE: Rudolph (7) K: Hopkins DEF: Buffalo I dropped Kamara to pick up Jacoby Brisset, which makes me a bit thin at RB, but hopefully Luck starts soon and I can change that up then. Short bench hurts a bit. |

their own 43 and runs back for a TD,you get 3 for int,4.3 for yardage and 6 for the score making it a 13.3 play. They also get bonus points if they allow 20 or fewer points in the game with the big one being 15pts for a shutout and 10pts for holding opponent to 10 or less. |

12 team league. A few questions. Start Hunt first week at RB? Who do I put in the Flex spot with Snead suspended?
QB Wilson WR Nelson WR Alshon Jeffrey RB Ajayi RB Hunt????? TE Rudolph W/R FLEX- ???? Bench RB Abdullah RB Rawls WR T Williams (SD) WR Kenny Britt QB Wentz TE- Julius Thomas WR Snead- 3 game suspension |
Quote:
The saving grace is how deep our league is with 14 members. So, the team projected to do the best has Brady and Rivers. However, he is starting BOTH Hunt and West, and his WR's are Hill and T.Y. Hilton. And he isn't a Chiefs fan.. not sure how he got so vested in them. I think Hill is because Yahoo still projects Hill to be our primary returner, which isn't true. After the 3rd preseason game, I was scared clear of Hill honestly... not just because of his drops, but the overall offense. And, 8/14 teams go into the playoffs, so it is hard for me miss the playoffs. And by then, Luck should be back. |

The league manager is a total douche for not making it a PPR league. |
Drafted for my wife in her league.
QB: Prescott, Rivers RB: Gordon, Crowell, Powell, Riddick, Duke Johnson, Jac Rodgers, Jamaal Williams WR: Michael Thomas, Golden Tate, Allen Robinson, Devante Parker, Zay Jones TE: Kelce K: Succop DEF: Jags 10 team PPR. Mother****ers started drafting a 2nd QB before I even took my first. Went heavy on RBs but I'll end up cutting Rodgers when Martin comes back from suspension. |

So the Florida game is a no go, right?
What about the game scheduled in Houston? |
QB Wilson
WR Nelson WR Alshon Jeffrey RB Abdullah RB Hunt TE Rudolph W/R FLEX- ???? Bench RB Rawls WR T Williams (SD) WR Kenny Britt QB Wentz TE- Julius Thomas WR Snead- 3 game suspension Now with the Miami game cancelled I need replaced for Ajayi. Put Abdullah in there for sure now so have the Flex spot open. Still not much on Williams groin health. I'd like Rawls normally but the Packers front is decent and not sure how much competition he'll get from Lacy. That hurricane really ****ed my lineup!!! |
You almost have to go with Rawls.

Helped my gf with her first draft last night. It's one of those leagues where half the people have no clue what they're doing. Most of them Auto picked. Somebody took Theo Reddick at #5 overall and came back and got Janikowski in the 2nd round... lol.
ended up with QB Rodgers QB Stafford RB McCoy RB Ajayi RB Fournette RB West RB McFadden WR Keenan Allen WR Tyreek Hill WR Devante Parker WR Corey Davis TE Walker TE Eifert D/ST Steelers K Lutz Lot of risk but high potential at WR. That McFadden pick was a mistake, time ran out on me and I was looking at a WR there. Guess I should try trading McFadden for a WR to the guy who has Zeke. The dolphins game being cancelled hurts me week one. Should I use Terrance West or Eifert in my flex week 1? |

Anybody have any interest in joining my fanduel league. Its $5 entry, winner takes all every week.

Rawls for Seattle said to maybe not play today as he's still not 100%.
Hard to find RBs to start and Flex this week with injuries, suspensions and hurricanes! |

David Johnson likely out for the year. Seems I can't play fantasy without a top 3 pick going out in the first week.
|
Tons of week 1 injuries like always.
Anyone get hit hard by them? |
Dodged injuries in all my leagues this week.
Actually won in my main (superflex) league even with Luck sidelined. If I had started Diggs over Emmanuel Sanders I would have won the week high points money. Any win I get while Luck is sidelined and I start Smith and a standard flex feels like a steal. Putting waiver request in for Tarik Cohen in all leagues. |
Second most points scored in my 14 teamer...by quite a bit. 0-1.
|
Got 190 points week 1. the second highest in the league was 138. Boom!
|
So I'm debating whether or not to make a run at Cohen in my PPR league.
Here's my team. QB: Mariota, Stafford RB: Elliott, Powell, Hunt, Abdullah, J. Rodgers WR: A.J. Green, Hopkins, Moncrief, Parker, Zay Jones TE: Delanie Walker K: Lutz DEF: Eagles, Steelers The Eagles play the Chiefs (obviously) and the Steelers play the Vikings. I could drop the Eagles but they have a couple of games upcoming that I'd like to use them for. I'm sure Cohen will cost a bunch to get but it'd be nice to not have to scramble for a RB when Rodgers gets put back on the bench for Martin. |
