2014 FANTASY FOOTBALL THREAD

[Gonzo]

I kind of like my team. Thoughts?

QB: Romo
RB: McCoy
RB: Richardson
WR: Bryant
WR: Garcon
Flex: Harvin
TE: V. Davis
D/ST: Rams

BN: P. Thomas
BN: E. Decker
BN: C. Ivory
BN: L. Blount
BN: J. Stewart
BN: D. Baldwin

Very nice. I don't know how you guys are getting players like Mccoy and Dez on the same team. They're both surefire first rounders in my drafts. Unreal. Getting the Romo/Dez hookup will be a goldmine. And Thomas is going to give you a nice flex option.

Love the receivers, runningbacks are okay, but you need another QB. Lots of good trade pieces though.

12 team league.... feel pretty good about it. Probably could have used another TE on the bench- not much was available- Maybe one more WR too....

QB: N Foles
RB: L McCoy
RB: A Foster
WR: A Brown
WR: P Harvin
WR: E Decker
TE: J Whitten

Thoughts on my team? 14 team league with standard ESPN scoring

Keeper league. I kept McCoy and had the second pick and chose Dez.

Upgrade your RBs ASAP. I really like the rest of your team, but your RBs are players with a history of injuries down the stretch. I would try selling Spiller in the first week or two, he typically has a breakout game around then that should inflate his value. If you are buying into the Jay Cutler hype this year, you can try selling Rodgers for a solid RB - especially if he can torch Seattle on Thursday night.

And Thomas is going to give you a nice flex option.

You think so? I currently have him on my bench behind flex options Chris Johnson, R. Randle, & Maclin. I'm just worried about the other 2 backs in New Orleans. Suppose with Sproles gone there'll be more touches for him.

Question: How much point production does Golden Tate get being lined up opposite Calvin Johnson? I would think his upside would be huge because of this.

Thomas much more versatile back than those other two. Ingram always generates interest in preseason but still has never really put anything together. Thomas is top passing target out of the backfield, and he and Brees have been together long enough they have a great chemistry. I'd have him solidly in there as a flex option depending on who they're playing. Keep an eye on his numbers early.

People said the same thing about Nate Burleson when he joined the Lions. I think Golden Tate is MUCH better than Burleson and he will do well in Detroit, but I don't think he is going to live up to the hype as a fantasy WR. You gotta remember, Matt Stafford has spent his entire career throwing to Calvin Johnson in double coverage - Golden Tate could be wide open in the end-zone and he would still probably chuck it to Megatron.

I took Tate as my WR3 in my first league and love it. He put up decent numbers coming from a run-heavy offense with a lesser QB in terms of passing ability. Now he's on a pass heavy offense with a better QB and where the other team is going to be focused mainly on stopping Calvin on the other side of the field. I agree, big upside. I hope.

I guess I'll go ahead and share my team. I play in a 10-team league through CBS. On top of playing 1 D/ST we also play 1 player from each defensive position group - so that's 1 DL, 1 LB and 1 DB each week. That has made our league a lot more interesting, a lot of our games are actually won by outstanding defensive performances.

QB - Nick Foles, Andy Dalton
RB - Arian Foster, Shane Vereen, Knowshon Moreno, Ray Rice
WR - Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, Vincent Jackson, Jeremy Maclin
TE - Jimmy Graham, Antonio Gates
D/ST - Panthers, Cardinals
K - Matt Prater, Robbie Gould - I f'd up and took Prater way too early and forgot he was suspended - that's why I have two kickers

DL - Calais Campbell
LB - James Laurinaitis, Patrick Willis
DB - Kam Chancellor, Tyvon Branch

I won my league last year. I play in a keeper league where we are allowed to keep up to 3 players - I have kept Calvin Johnson on my roster for 6 seasons and I used another keeper on Jimmy Graham. Nick Foles was my QB last year, but I'm not too thrilled with having him again this year. I feel like my weakness is at RB and QB. My RBs aren't stellar but I just need decent production and let my WRs and TEs carry the team. I actually think Ray Rice can have a decent season after his suspension.

Did our 12-team PPR draft today. We draft 2 qb, 4 rb, 4 wr, 2 te, 2 k, 2 D and start 1 qb, 2rb, 2 wr, 1 te, 1 k, and 1 D. The 1st two rounds are conventional snake, then the rest of the rounds are already set, but you draft in a different spot.


QB: Cutler, Eli Manning
RB: Jamal Charles, Le'Veon Bell, Joique Bell, DeAngelo Williams
WR: Alshon Jeffrey, Vincent Jackson, Cordarrelle Patterson, Markus Wheaton
TE: Jordan Reed, Jared Cook
K: Justin Tucker, Phil Dawson
D: TB and Miami

I had pick #5

Guy in our league sent me a trade offer this morning. He would trade me Kaepernick and Demaryious Thomas and I would send Cutler and Jeffrey. I don't like Kaepernick at all, but the thoughat of having Charles and Thomas are nice. My other QB is Eli. Thoughts.

Here are my pros: Demaryius Thomas has back to back seasons of 1400+ reception yards, whereas Alshon Jeffrey will have to recreate his breakout season from last year. In this regard, Thomas is the more proven WR. Also going off of last years performance - Kaepernick had 500 more yards than Jay Cutler and threw for 2 more TDs than Cutler. Kap also had 500 yards and 4 TDs rushing the football

Cons: if this truly is the year of Jay Cutler like everyone is saying, then you would be trading a top QB and one of his top targets. Also, Eric Decker is out of Denver so Thomas will see a lot more double-teams. Kap also signed that big contract which could lead to a performance similar to how Joe Flacco played last season after signing his deal.

 

[cyhiphopp]

Kaepernick went 9th, Seahawks D went top 45, most QBs went top 50 in the league I just did, so yeah, I do agree with you.

Someone took Kaepernick at #9 overall? You can get him in the 9th ROUND in some drafts.

 

[isubeatle]

QB - C. Newton
WR - R. White
WR - A. Johnson
RB - L. McCoy
RB - R. Bush
TE - V. Davis
W/T - P. Garcon
W/R/T - S. Jackson
Def - New England

BN - L. Miller RB
BN - A. Rodgers - QB
BN T. Smith - WR
BN D. Woodhead RB
BN R. Wayne - WR
BN D. Pitta - TE

Who do I start at QB? Newton against TB or Rodgers against Seattle? I know Newton has a cracked rib but Seattle's defense is tough.

Also, Any suggestions on my WR line up? It's not a PPR league.

 

[cyhiphopp]

Anyone know the best place to get printable draft tools? I have a live offline draft tomorrow night and I need to print out some sheets with good PPR average draft positions.

What is this, a six team league?

 

[isubeatle]

What is this, a six team league?

it's a 10 team league.

 

[cycloneG]

What is this, a six team league?

Seriously, it can't be more than 6 teams.
