2014 FANTASY FOOTBALL THREAD

[Doc]

Just had my 10 team PPR draft last night with the 4th pick. Here's what I was able to get.

QB: Foles(9), Flacco (15)
RB: Forte(1), Bernard(2), Vereen(7), Tate(10)
WR: Julio Jones(3), Cobb(4), Cordarelle Patterson(6), Edelman(8), Emmanuel Sanders(11)
TE: Gronk(5), Martellus Bennet(12)
K: Crosby(14)
DST: Saints(13)

Do the other people in the league realize it's PPR? Great draft.

Ten team, standard league. 1st pick

1) LeSean Mcoy
2)Zach Stacy
3)Brandon Marshall
4)DeSean Jackson
5)Victor Cruz
6)Nick Foles
7) Joique Bell
8) Bernard Pierce
9) Cecil Shorts
10) Steven Ridley
11) Knowshon Moreno
12) Jordan Cameron (keeper from last year)
13) Stephen Gostkowski
14) Rams Defence
15) Jonathon Stewart
16) Johnny Manziel (Mr. Irrelevant)

Yahoo gave me the "Best Draft" trophy; but that can be taken with a grain of salt since you can get that simply by drafting the highest available every time you're up.

You kept Cameron? Please tell me you had no better option than keeping him. He isn't going to do as good this year as he did last year. The TE guru Norv Turner is in Minnesota this year, not in Cleveland like last year.

Luck was still available in the 4th round of a 10 team league but I imagine he's gone by th 4th in a 12-14 team league.

Luck's adp is 41, putting him in the middle of the 4th round of a 12 teamer.

Sanders at 11 is a steal with Decker gone and Welker could be out a while.

Where do you guys go to mock? We use nfl.com for our leagues but I know the draft tool won't open at my workplace.

LOL. Thanks. I've been playing with these guys for a few years with the same rules. They all go QB crazy in the first several rounds and then start drafting Def and Kickers in rounds 7,8,9. I've had killer teams every year but always end up having a bad weak in the playoffs and finish 2nd or 3rd. Hopefully this year will be different

The 10 team standard league I drafted Sunday night saw the QBs go much earlier than they probably should have. I wanted Luck in the mid 30's but he was gone and I took Foles in the mid 40's.

 

[Gonzo]

10 team league, standard scoring, last pick

QB-Foles
QB-Rivers
WR-Bryant
WR-V Jackson
WR-Marshall
WR-Amendola
WR-Boldin
RB-Morris
RB-J Bell
RB-L Miller
RB-F Jackson
RB-Sproles
TE-V Davis
D/ST-Seattle
K-Henery

RB's aren't great.

Were you drafting against 5 year olds who didn't know how to work the 'submit' button?

Dez, Marshall, and VJax, while also grabbing Alf Morris? Ridiculous. Money league? I want in next year.

This is working nicely. Thanks! Is there a way I can have a mock set up to have 6 point QB passing TDs? That's what my next real draft is. Very QB heavy the first 2 rounds.

Edit: nevermind it looks like I found one.

Additional question: is "standard" 4 pt passing TDs to most of you?

I use ESPN for mock drafts.

I'm doing a 12 team one right now to prepare for tomorrow. I already knew it, but there is such a big difference between this and 10 team leagues. It makes drafting a little tougher.

I'm using the ESPN app for my mocks as well. The yahoo default is 3WR with no flex so the drafts always seem off to me with good RBs around late.

Hey guys,
I have an interesting question for you. Im in a 12 team keeper league, and due to the fact i won the consolation bracket last year I get to choose my spot in the draft. I can pick first and wait 22 picks before i pick again or try to get a mid round where I still get a top guy but only have to wait 10-15 picks to go again. What would you take?

How many keepers? Do you know who's available at the top?

 

[clonez]

Can keep up to 3 keepers per team. And they replace a draft pick 2 rounds earlier than the previous year. Most big names are all available because you cant keep top 2 rounds.

 

[clonez]

Alosi, I am trying to trade the option and pick up one or two more picks

 

[VikesFan22]

I'd go with a mid round pick. I've been having some pretty good mock drafts at #6 in a 10 team league.

 

[cyhiphopp]

That's the question. If you can get one of the top 4 RBs I would go with the 3rd or 4th pick

So what are your options? Let us know who/when you drafted last year at least.

My keepers are 9 10 and 12 round picks I'm keeping Julius Thomas Fred Jackson and Michael Crabtree.
I think I'm going to go with pick 4 unless someone will trade me an extra top 4 pick
