2014 FANTASY FOOTBALL THREAD

[BallSoHard4Cy]

10 team non PPR (I had 7th in a snake)
QB: Matt Ryan
QB: Robert Griffin III
RB: Matt Forte
RB: Reggie Bush
RB: Bishop Sankey
RB: Shane Vereen
WR: Vincent Jackson
WR: Antonio Brown
WR: T.Y. Hilton
WR: Jeremy Maclin
WR: Kelvin Benjamin
TE: Jimmy Graham
TE: Zach Ertz
DEF: Rams
K: Alex Henery

thought I came away pretty good. I'm loaded at RB, solid at WR, loaded at TE. QBs are a question mark, so is kicker (who really cares though). Two guys in my league didn't really pay attention during the draft. Another took a kicker in the 5th round because he had some picks "no one was gonna pick" saved for later. So that was pretty easy for the rest of us.

My office is 90% Nebraska fans so I need a good team name that makes fun of them. Any ideas?

 

[CloneinWDSM]

12 teams standard
Romo
Gio Bernard
Steven Jackson
Calvin Johnson
Desean Jackson
Julius Thomas
TY Hilton

A guy in our league said I probably had one of te top 2 teams but idk. My Running Back choices are stretches.

 

[CyArob]

Demarco Murray, Zac Stacy, or Leveon Bell?

I have Bernard on both my teams so far, and Montee Ball on one of them too. Since RBs have lower shelf lives than most, I think you have to take a risk on a guy more often than normal. The proven guys that won't flame out the year you pick them are few and far between.

I have my big keeper league draft on Wednesday. I'm definitely keeping McCoy, even though I love Julio Jones as well. Thinking about going heavy WR the next couple of rounds. I believe having McCoy can offset having a weaker RB2.

 

[gocubs2118]

Demarco Murray, Zac Stacy, or Leveon Bell?

Bell depending on what happens with his pot arrest recently. I'm not sold on Stacy and Murray is made of glass. But this is why I always take a stud WR in the second rather than reaching for one of these RB's.

I had the 12th pick in a 16 team standard scoring league, my team was:

Aaron Rodgers
Jimmy Graham
Trent Richardson
C.J. Spiller
Mike Wallace
DeAndre Hopkins
Tony Romo
Reuben Randle
Tavon Austin
Greg Jennings
Jace Amaro
Blair Walsh
Lions D/ST
Rod Streater
De'Anthony Thomas
Scott Chandler

Don't feel too good about how I did, the last rounds were pretty hard since it was all just random picking essentially.

Is it a 2 QB league? I don't believe in Trent Richardson, but I could be wrong.

Wallace, Hopkins, and Randle could work out really well for where you got them at. Tannehill can't miss every deep ball.

 

[BallSoHard4Cy]

Got a trade for TY Hilton (me) for his Kendall Wright. I don't believe that TY will have a good year, and if Jake Locker can stay healthy, Wright will have a solid year.

Just got done, 12 team, I had 8th pick:

P Manning
B. Tate
R. Rice
D. Thomas
V. Cruz
Z. Ertz
S. Ridley
Rams D
Hauschka
T. Williams
K. Robinson
D. Amendola
M. Evans
C. Palmer
A. Gates
K. Benjamin

If Reggie Wayne stays healthy TY will have a good year.

Just 1 QB, 2 QBs in a 16 team league would be awful. Literally every starting QB would have to be playing. It would suck to be the guy that had to decide Manziel/Hoyer every week.

 

[BallSoHard4Cy]

If Reggie Wayne stays healthy TY will have a good year.

If Reggie Wayne stays healthy he'll have a worse year. Wayne is Luck's favorite target. Flee we is second. Add in Dwayne Allen and Hakeem Nicks and the receiving group is loaded.

Plus TY didn't have a solid fantasy season until after Wayne got hurt last year. I jumped that ship before it sank this year.

solid, but I think you need to find a way to get another runningback. Ben Tate is going to be pushed by Terrence West. Ray Rice isn't going to help your team for at least two weeks, and Robinson and Ridley are back ups. Your receivers are really good though.

 

[VikesFan22]

I have a draft Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. It's gonna be a busy week.

Sorry bro, but you're wrong. All you have to look at is how TY performed last year pre RW's injury and post the injury. If Wayne is hurt, than the defense will focus more energy on stopping TY. RW keeps the defense honest.

I did that two years ago. 16 team league with 2 starting QBs per roster. Plus 2 RBs, 2 WRs, and 2 flexes for some strange reason. We were digging deep toward the end. Eventually we figured out that the league settings allowed us to carry 3 QBs, so someone with a high waiver priority would snap up the only FA starter and then hold him for a high price on the trade market.

I usually go heavy RB to begin with, but Peyton was sitting there at #8 and I couldnt pass him up. Then had Thomas. That duo could be lethal this year.
