Title: Who to start / General Fantasy Football thread 2012
Post by: Diomedes on August 18, 2012, 07:46:06 AM
My first draft is today.

Why am I in a league that drafts before all of the important injuries and roster decisions have been made, you might ask?  Because not every lay is Raquel Welch, that's why.

$25 dollar yahoo league, which I won last year, my first time in it.  It was not a pay-up-front league, and when I won, I put the screws to the commish.  He's a man, so he paid me but he never got paid by everyone, so this year we've all paid in up front.  I will be repeating.

Is there any reason not to draft Victor Cruz over Larry Fitzgerald?
Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasty Football thread 2012
Post by: Munson on August 18, 2012, 12:20:45 PM
I'd still choose Fitz just because even with terrible QB's he's still gotten his the last two years.


I've somehow ended up in 4 leaguesn ow this year....my two main keeper leagues for $50 a pop, a co-manager spot with a friend from one of those leagues in a $200 league he does, and then another league with another group of friends that I'm not sure is for any money yet. And a suicide league.

farg me.

Got 10th pick out of 12 teams, as 2 time returning champion in one of the $50 leagues tonight. I kept Maclin and Antonio Brown. Should I go AP and Charles my first two picks if they're there? two guys coming off knee injuries, but the return could be huge. I was thinknig maybe going Charles and Vick 1-2....

12 team keeper league, .5 points per reception. Only get to keep two guys

QB-Matt Schaub
RB-Jamaal Charles
RB-Maurice Jones-Drew
WR-Jeremy Maclin (k)
WR-Antonio Brown (k)
WR/RB-Brandon Lloyd
TE-Jacob Tamme

D/ST-Jets
K-Matt Bryant

Bench-Stevan Ridley
Bench-Robert Meachem
Bench-Reggie Wayne
Bency-Jay Cutler
Bench-Danny Amendola
Bench-Rashad Jennings



Taking a chance with Charles/MJD...kinda had to though. They were more or less the best guys available when I picked.

my brother's espn draft was last night and he asked me to draft for him since he was on plane to ireland.

7th pick, non ppr, 4 pts for qb td, 6 for the rest.

7   LeSean McCoy, Phi RB 
18   Andre Johnson, Hou WR 
31   Julio Jones, Atl WR 
42   Ahmad Bradshaw, NYG RB 
55   Dwayne Bowe, KC WR 
66   Philip Rivers, SD QB 
79   Kevin Smith, Det RB 
90   Isaac Redman, Pit RB 
103   Brandon Pettigrew, Det TE 
114   Rueben Randle, NYG WR 
127   Mike Williams, TB WR 
138   Joe Flacco, Bal QB 
151   Garrett Hartley, NO K 
162   Seahawks D/ST D/ST 
175   Jermaine Gresham, Cin TE 
186   Bernard Pierce, Bal RB 
199   Kevin Walter, Hou WR 

i think i did pretty good for him.  i couldn't believe shady was available at 7th pick but i guess non ppr reduces his value somewhat.

I absolutely love the first three picks.
Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasty Football thread 2012
Post by: SunMo on August 21, 2012, 02:28:24 PM
1. Chris Johnson (Ten - RB)
2. Matthew Stafford (Det - QB)
3. Wes Welker (NE - WR)
4. Marques Colston (NO - WR)
5. Ahmad Bradshaw (NYG - RB)
6. Antonio Brown (Pit - WR)
7. Vincent Jackson (TB - WR)
8. Tony Gonzalez (Atl - TE)
9. Jonathan Stewart (Car - RB)
10. Shonn Greene (NYJ - RB)
11. Pierre Thomas (NO - RB)
12. Joe Flacco (Bal - QB)
13. New York (NYJ - DEF)
14. Jared Cook (Ten - TE)
15. Garrett Hartley (NO - K)


10 team mock draft i did.

i immediately regretted taking cj when forte and ap were still on the board. 
Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasty Football thread 2012
Post by: Diomedes on August 21, 2012, 04:32:58 PM
You like Joe Flacco and Ahmad Bradshaw too much I think.  Hartley is another one you've now drafted twice, but I like him too:  dome kicker on high scoring team.
Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasty Football thread 2012
Post by: SunMo on August 21, 2012, 04:38:02 PM
the reason i like them is that they drop further than I think they should.  i need to read up on bradshaw's competition for carries on the giants but with jacobs gone he should have more carries, especially on the goalline.

Taking a chance with MJD

I drafted him in my second league last night. He was there in the 4th round, and I said WTF. Something has to give with him in the next week, I would think.
Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasty Football thread 2012
Post by: ice grillin you on August 26, 2012, 02:41:26 PM

Post by: Munson on August 27, 2012, 12:12:20 AM
I just got him in my other money, keeper league. Auction draft though, overspent for him as of right now. $47.

Here's how the rest of it shaped up. K's for the keepers

QB-Tony Romo $14 (K)
RB-Adrian Peterson $28
RB-Maurice Jones-Drew $47
WR-Larry Fitzgerald $34
WR-Percy Harvin $8 (K)
WR-Antonio Brown $2 (K)
TE-Rob Gronkowski ($2) (K)
W/R/T-Jeremy Maclin ($23)

K-Gostkowski ($2)
D/ST-Houston ($2)

Bench-Ben Roethlisburger ($2)
Bench-Mark Ingram ($5)
Bench-Rashad Jennings ($8)
Bench-Jacob Tamme ($6)
Bench-Nate Washington ($2)
Bench-Alshon Jeffery (#4)
Bench-Taiwan Jones ($1)

A few of the bench spots will most likely be changing players.
Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasty Football thread 2012
Post by: Diomedes on September 02, 2012, 07:00:28 AM
I'm looking at my bench RBs and the FA pool.

My question:  Roy Helu or Kevin Smith?

The former is--and I'm not boasting here--on my team.  The latter is available.  I'm thinking I'd do well to drop Helu and add Smith.  God only knows what that fool in Washington is going to do with his RBs.  Smith is guaranteed to be the guy for at least the first two weeks while LeShoure serves his suspension.  Helu is just coming back from achilles injury, and Smith is injury prone as well, so I consider the injury risk a wash.  Anyone agree?
Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasty Football thread 2012
Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on September 02, 2012, 07:48:02 AM
Your instinct is also the way I'd go.

Helu certainly has the ability to have some nice weeks, but Shanahan is consistently infuriating and has two other backs to use. SOMEONE will have to get run in Detroit, and Smith is the guy who can stay on the field.

Rookie David Wilson is the only competition, but he's only there to give Bradshaw a rest really. Bradshaw is good, but he's at least as, if not more, brittle than Vick.

Had my $250 draft that I'm co-managing with a buddy last night before the game. It went much better than expected, ended up getting a lot of our guys a round later than we thought we'd have to.

Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasty Football thread 2012
Post by: SunMo on September 06, 2012, 12:21:51 PM
i have one last draft tonight for my keeper league.  yes, it's after the first game but it's a long story and involves a lot of panty bunching by men in their 40s.

anyway, i have 2nd pick in a non-snaking draft and my keepers are Vick, AJ Green, and jimmy graham.

my running backs were so bad last year that i couldn't justify keeping one instead of graham.

running backs that are available in the first will be:  mathews, forte, bradshaw, fred jack, steven jack, murray, trich.

i'm thinking trich if he's available because of the upside but it's also the browns so how good can he be.  i guess i should take best available with mathews even though he'll be limited for a few weeks. 

non ppr, touchdown focused scoring, so that drops forte down for me.  i'm thinking mathews, murray, or trich.

thoughts?
Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasty Football thread 2012
Post by: rjs246 on September 06, 2012, 12:34:18 PM
You're in rebuilding mode. So I would take Murray or Richardson. With a TD heavy league I'd probably go Richardson since Cleveland won't be able to pass the ball until at least five years from now when the next QB they draft has a season or two under his belt.
Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasty Football thread 2012
Post by: SunMo on September 06, 2012, 12:36:51 PM
another guy is dropping murray because he has CJ.  im thinking of offering to swap picks in the 3rd round for murray, keeping him and dropping Vick and getting a different qb.

That is definitely not the worst plan I've ever heard. There's a very real possibility that you'll want to drop Vick in the middle of the season this year.
Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasty Football thread 2012
Post by: SunMo on September 06, 2012, 12:40:26 PM
my master plan is to take Luck in the 3rd round or so and have a qb for the next 10 years

but if i didn't keep vick, everybody else in the league would have a qb with vick, ryan, peyton, rothelisburger, rivers all being available.
Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasty Football thread 2012
Post by: Tomahawk on September 06, 2012, 12:43:28 PM

Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasty Football thread 2012
Post by: SunMo on September 06, 2012, 12:47:04 PM
exactly, that's why i'm leaning towards not even keeping vick, those guys are all the same.  get a top back, draft another one, and get a qb later leaves me with a better team i think.
Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasty Football thread 2012
Post by: rjs246 on September 06, 2012, 12:52:51 PM
Agreed. Although yo run the risk of some joker taking Luck early. Regardless, you if you drop Vick you have every chance to just draft him since only a jackass would use the first pick on him.
Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasty Football thread 2012
Post by: SunMo on September 06, 2012, 12:57:58 PM
that's my thought process too.

the only thing keeping me from 100% doing for that is i just traded for vick last season but i can't let that dictate my moves going forward

Side question... Out of every 1000 fantasy leagues, how many had a team with Kevin Ogletree on a roster last night? 5-6? And how many started him? Has to be fewer than 1, right?

Here's the team and the round we got them in...Passing TDs count for 6, 20 pass yards per point, .5 PPR, all WR spots are WR/TE flex, no true TE spot.

QB-Tom Brady (1)
RB-Jamaal Charles (2)
RB-Fred Jackson (3)
WR/T-Mike Walace (5)
WR/T-Jeremy Maclin (6)
WR/T-Vernon Davis (7)

K-Alex Henery (13)

couldn't get anybody to trade me a rb they were dropping which seems silly.  i was offering a low pick but they were dropping them for nothing, so why not bite?  anyway, my team ends up being

QB - Vick, Luck, Freeman
RB (start 3) - T-Rich, Charles, S. Jackson, Hillis, Turbin, Helu
WR (start 3) - Green, Cruz, A. Brown, V. Jackson, Meachem, Young, Wright
TE - Graham, Cook
Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasty Football thread 2012
Post by: rjs246 on September 07, 2012, 09:37:18 AM
That ends up not looking too bad, actually. The RBs mix youth (Richardson, Helu), upside (Charles, Helu) and solid boringness (Jackson). You got Luck and your WRs have a good mix as well. Your TEs suck donkey balls but you can't have it all.

Just realized that that's Jimmy Graham. So, yeah, your TEs don't suck. Well done.

i am leaning jennings but i can easily see and have seen this a million times...where everyone excludes the guy who is injured or in this case is coming off a holdout and then that person goes for two touches and 80 yards

i dont even care if they all suck this week thats what i expect

just dont wanna miss on the guy who goes for 10+ pts if one does
Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasty Football thread 2012
Post by: rjs246 on September 07, 2012, 10:44:41 AM
I have limited other options but Helu is one of them and he's on the bench. You just don't know if he's healthy or if Shannahan will bother playing him. MJD is being 'eased in' so really what other choice do you have?
Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasty Football thread 2012
Post by: ice grillin you on September 07, 2012, 10:55:57 AM
helu is a distant third for sure

as for mjd like i was just saying i could see "easing in" to mean a few goal line touches and 50 yards rushing

i think its a virtual toss up btwn him and jennings but was seeing if someone could sway me one way or another

jennings is the safer bet but MJD has gobs more talent.  I'd buck the chorus and stick with talent.  Who's going to get the goal line carries?  Jennings?  Yeah, right.  Start MJD and at least you put the most talented player in your roster.

Brandon Lloyd @ TEN
Stevan Ridley @ TEN
Robert Meachem @ OAK
Reggie Wayne @ CHI
Danny Amendola @ DET


Obviously i"m going with Lloyd at the moment (other starting WRs are Antonio Brown and Maclin), but he and Brady didn't click much in the preseason. I think I'm gonna have a problem choosing this spot all year.

A lot of upside guys there who have undefined roles right now. I like Wayne for Week 1 because I think he's guaranteed the most targets of that group and I doubt the Bears can keep him bottled up. If I knew that NE is going to heavily utilize Ridley in the screen I would recommend him without hesitation but who knows what that hoodie-wearing icehole is gonna do.

Rotated between the 3 of them all morning before settling on Lloyd. had a decent game but obviously Ridley did better (As did Wayne). of course I'll start Ridley next week only to see Brady throw the ball 60 times.

I had the Brady/Gronk combo today, but I was rocked by the Ryan/Jones one.  I had Roddy White as well and of course he didn't see any of Ryan's tds. 

I had taken a flier on Cobb in the last round, but dropped him for a waived Ryan Williams.  Cobb had like 9 catches for 70+ yards and a return TD.  Kind of annoyed I didn't hang unto him.

Alfred Morris @ STL
Anquan Boldin @ PHI
Mike Williams (TB) @ NYG

PPR (also 1 pt for 15 return yards), pick one:
Randall Cobb vs. CHI
Dez Bryant at SEA

Players in bold are currently in my lineup.

The only change I'd make is to switch out Boldin for Williams....used to love Boldin, but he's not nearly as good as he was in AZ. It seems crazy to start Cobb over Bryant, but with how many times he was targeted in the passing game and getting points for return yards, he should outscore Bryant.

Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on September 13, 2012, 12:42:07 PM
I'm going to be an Eagle homer and bench Boldin. But I'm leaning Brown over Williams due to minimal targets to Williams last week and the Giants needing a statement win.

based on week 1 my rb depth is awesome, of course we'll see how that goes.

right now my rbs are forte, sproles, ridley, morris

forte is an auto start of course but i'm thinking of going ridley over sproles and morris

Post by: phattymatty on September 23, 2012, 11:59:10 AM
RB1 - Peterson
RB2 - Beanie Wells (probable), Ryan mathews (should be suited up but going to split carries at best) or Michael Bush

I'm leaning towards Mathews in the hopes that he's ready and Atlanta has given up a lot of points to RBs this year

EDIT, never mind, forte is out. no brainer.
Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasy Football thread 2012
Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on September 23, 2012, 12:01:41 PM

Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasy Football thread 2012
Post by: Diomedes on September 30, 2012, 07:59:33 AM
I have zesty options in a zesty league today.  (1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 W/R flex, 1 TE, K, D; Pass TDs 6 points standard scoring otherwise)

I already ran Boldin at one of the WR slots, by accident, but I was not unhappy with the 130 yards he put up for me.  So now I've got to fill 2 WR, 2 RB, and one Flex spot from the following players:


RB
Forte (CHI) {Quest} @ DAL [MNF]
Law Firm (CIN) @ JAX [4 p.m.]
Morris (WAS) @ TB [4p.m.]
LeShoure (DET) {Quest} v. MIN [1p.m.]
Smith (DET) v. MIN [1 p.m.]
Brown (NYG) @ PHI [SNF]


WR
Jones (ATL) v. CAR [1 p.m.]
Welker (NE) @ BUF [1 p.m.]
Floyd (SD) @ KC [1 p.m.]

I don't think I've got enough decent options at RB to use one at the flex spot instead of one of these WRs, so unless you see something I don't, the basic question is, which two RBs to play? 

I'm figuring Benjarvis Green Ellis will get the ball a lot and Jax is vulnerable, so he's a start.  After that....I don't know.  Morris?  Forte doesn't go until Monday night and who knows whether he's healthy enough to play at all much less be effective enough to retake the carries Bush has been getting.  LeShoure is also dinged up and facing a tough run D so who knows what they will do with him.  Smith was healthy last week and didn't get a single touch..he's not an option.  If he doesn't see the ball this weekend again, I'm dropping him.  Andre Brown is going to share duties with Bradshaw, right? 

So I think this is my best lineup:

RB  Law Firm
RB  Alfred Morris

WR  Julio Jones
WR  Malcom Floyd

Flex  Wes Welker


Do any of you see a better lineup?
Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasy Football thread 2012
Post by: Munson on October 04, 2012, 04:56:33 PM
Pick 2, PPR:

Antonio Brown
Jeremy Maclin
Alfred Morris

Pick 3, .5 PPR:

Reggie Wayne
Antonio Brown
Brandon Lloyd

Stevan Ridley
Jeremy Maclin
Danny Amendola

I'm leaning towards the bolded. I know Ridley seems like a no brainer but he's facing a D that's only given up one rushing TD and less than 100 YPG so far to opposing running games.

Need help with some trade offers. 

I have two guys who want Leshoure and Javid Best's jello brain. 
One guy is offering Dalton , the other guy Dwayne Bowe and Michael Bush. 

My issue is My WR's are pretty tight. 
Vincent Jackson
Julio Jones
Brandon Marshall

My QB situation sucks...Romo

I'm really just not sold on Dalton.  Thoughts?

Ill add.  I'm pissed that I had an agreement on the trade earlier today Leshoure straight up for Bowe and Bush.  But the dude reneg'd upon asking another guy in the league. 

Title: Re: Who to start / General Fantasy Football thread 2012
Post by: SunMo on October 12, 2012, 08:43:38 AM
dalton's pretty good, they pass a lot and he has a couple good receivers to throw to.  who knows what dwayne bowe will be with brady quinn at qb and bush might get you some touchdowns but with forte getting healthy who knows what his role will be.

and i would say farg you to the guy who renegged.

I gave a team its second win of the season thanks to Eli and Roddy.

I have a legit issue this week... Can start 4:
Roddy vs DAL
Nicks vs PIT
DeSean at NO
Rice vs MIN
James Jones vs ARI

Since I have Eli, I really don't want to bench Nicks. $75 for winning the week (which I did easily the one good game Nicks had). Roddy has the hardest matchup but is the best player. Gotta roll with DeSean.

So, it's really Sidney Rice or James Jones.

Chris Johnson/Frank Gore/CJ Spiller/Jonathan Stewart

I have one guy obsessed with pulling one of my top 3 guys, he's willing to give me Dalton and Steven Jackson for Romo/CJ2k.  My qb situation is a mess with Romo/Fitz, so it solves my major pain point.  Any thoughts?  Worth it?
