YoloinOhio Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Too superstitious. In fact, I almost want to take Brady for the same reason! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) Lol. Just take him man. You won't regret it this season. It's gonna be a big year for him. Wait... What pick do you have? How many teams in the league? Is it a snake draft? Edited August 6, 2013 by mrags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Um, I am not sure what kind of draft it is (a free league on CBS Sports website)! I haven't played FF in over 10 years but decided to come out of retirement There are 12 teams in our league, I think we find out the order tomorrow. Anyway, our FF guru on the radio locally says Spiller is can't-miss and should be everyone's #1. Still afraid, as I would rather lose FF than affect his season. Yes, I am irrationally superstitious.

mrags Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) If we're talking first pick overall? I am not sure if I would or not. But worth a look for sure. As a Bills fan and someone that will be watching every game, I say go for it. Edited August 6, 2013 by mrags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 We changed up how our keeper league works last year and now we get to keep the player 2 rounds higher than he was drafted the year before. I picked up Spiller in the 10th last year which means I get to keep him instead of making a pick in the 8th round this year. Next year I'll get to keep him for a 6th round pick, and so on, and so on. Hopefully he produced like everybody expects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Does that mean you don't keep first rd picks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 If you pick outside the top 5-7 picks, you more than likely won't have to worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 As a rule I don't like to have Bills on my fantasy football team. It just makes it a double kick in the balls when they have a terrible game. Having said that CJ is sorely testing this strategy this season. I think he is going to have a good year.

Matt in KC Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'm eying Spiller too. I pick 4th in a .5 PPR league. . . . Why is your draft so far ahead of the start of the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 If you take CJ make sure you take Fred later on I would love to have CJ this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainiac21 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) i already semi-jinxed him by taking him in mine (12th).. so you might as well go for it. (and yes, i took fred-ex later... much later). Edited August 6, 2013 by Brainiac21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'm eying Spiller too. I pick 4th in a .5 PPR league. . . . Why is your draft so far ahead of the start of the season? I thought it was early too... not sure? As a rule I don't like to have Bills on my fantasy football team. It just makes it a double kick in the balls when they have a terrible game. Having said that CJ is sorely testing this strategy this season. I think he is going to have a good year. I am the same way... too much pain all at once! If you pick outside the top 5-7 picks, you more than likely won't have to worry about it. Not sure, as he isn't ranked in the top 10 on CBS's board. However, I have to question their rankings a bit. Probable shooting myself in the foot, but I am going off of my own board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richNjoisy Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 If you are certain you are a jinx...most definitely draft Brady. Let us know you did so and when he gets hurt, we will all kiss your signet ring.....or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDBUFFCUSEFAN Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Check out Fantasy Football Toolbox. Their rankings are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Most ranking have him as the 4-8th best fantasy player. I'd be just fine picking him #2 and plan to if I get #2. I think he's gonna get a ton of catches this year. Draft him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatloaf Sandwich Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) Wow I never draft till after preseason for injury purposes. Little tip I have been doing over the past few years. Don't draft a QB till at least 5th round (10-12 man league) Your welcome Edited August 6, 2013 by BuffaloFood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOKBILLS Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'm taking Spiller in the 1st in both my FF Drafts...Not necessarily because I think it's the best pick, but because I want him, and I don't want anyone else to get him... I better Draft well after that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiller will go first round in 99% of 10+ team leagues that are not 2QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
