CommonCents Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Starting to get excited, our draft is on August 27th. A ten team- one keeper league with standard format. Is your draft planned yet? What format are you using this year? I saw this article pop up while at work, it's not great though he doesn't have Freeman listed in his top 20. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/news/fantasy-football-rb-rankings-2016-122148550.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I am in a league on ESPN.com. I think it is basic format. No date yet for draft. I have some ideas of how I want to build my team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Alright, I'm a bit conflicted over who I should keep in my dynasty league. We get to keep 2 players, it's a PPR league and with Calvin Johnson retiring I'm looking for a new keeper. Here are the options: Luck, McCoy, Amari Cooper, Cobb, Barnidge, and Tyrod... Luck has been on my team for ages and I'm expecting a bounce back year so I think I need to keep him. The choice then would really come down to Cooper or McCoy but I lean more towards Cooper. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big fantasy player but I will say one thing. Draft. Donte. Moncrief. I like Moncrief I had him last year as my third wideout, if Luck bounces back he could have a high upside.

I did a 2 man league with a friend on the NFLUK site last year but it doesn't really appeal much to me (mainly because I lost to a novice). If I took it seriously, I'd probably be half-decent.

What a Tuel Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) I did a mock draft the other day. This year is going to be a little more difficult I think. Too many RB's coming back off of injury, too many player's retiring or just getting old. My leagues this year are switching things up on PPR because WRs are diminishing the value of RB's. However I like PPR, so I gave the leagues the option of knocking PPR to half point, removing it, or giving RB's like .12-.25 points per carry. They overwhelmingly approved giving RB's points per carry. Hope it doesn't backfire. Who is your guy's first round pick? Where do you prefer to pick? PS this fantasy forum needs to be a little more lively! Edited July 18, 2016 by What a Tuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 My draft is set for Aug 29. I think all colts WRs are a good bet. They are going to throw the ball a ton IMO. Sleeper RB is Carlos Hyde IMO (if he can stay healthy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 My paid league is on NFL.com. If 10 people are interested in doing a league for bragging rights I will set it up. Please be an active poster and an avid football fan so the league flows. It will be a dud if no one is changing lineups and playing the wire waiver etc. No money, just Bills pride. 10 man, standard scoring rules.

He is good enough to not drop but not good enough that anyone wants him. He just sits on the bench all year lol. I think this draft is a little short on RB. Ryan Mathews is always an injury risk and you are left with 2 backup rbs to plug in. I never draft a backup te and most of the time not a backup qb (although I love Tyrod at his ADP). There is almost always a waiver wire plug and play for the bye week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB3 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Just had the first of my two league drafts last night. This one is not PPR. Snake draft, 12 teams, I had the 4th overall pick. Starters: QB - Jameis Winston TB RB - Ezekiel Eliott DAL RB - Thomas Rawls SEA WR - Allen Robinson JAX WR - Jarvis Landry MIA TE - Greg Olsen CAR FLEX - Jay Ajayi MIA D - Bills (couldn't stop myself) K - Brandon McManus DEN Bench: RB - TJ Yeldon JAX WR - Sterling Shepard NYG TE - Charles Clay TE WR - Mohamed Sanu ATL WR - Kamar Aiken BAL RB - Alfred Morris DAL WR - Will Fuller HOU I'm just going to drop the crappiest WR/RB when it comes bye week time, if my current D/K are worth keeping.

I'm assuming you went Elliott first which I get if you like him but I don't like him over some of the guys you must have passed on. Good job getting Morris as the handcuff. I really like your starting WRs as well as Aiken althoughI like Landry better in PPR. I'm thinking Fuller will be your cut for a bye as a rookie wr with a crappy qb doesn't sound like a recipe for success. If I'm guessing 1. Elliott 2. ARob 3. Rawls 4. Landry 5. Olsen Where did you go in round 6? Ballsy going Jameis with not other option. Starting QB and Flex are the biggest question marks in your starting lineup for me. Good spots to have question marks as the waiver can provide an answer to both of those spots. Just some feedback for fun Edited August 23, 2016 by section122 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good spots to have question marks as the waiver can provide an answer to both of those spots. Just some feedback for fun You nailed it. The draft didn't go as planned (was hoping for Gurley & Mccoy with my first two), but I'm not terribly disappointed. I'm not so much a fan of Elliott as I am of that OL, especially if Romo is healthy. Doesn't hurt that he's a 3 down back either. The first 3 picks went: 1. Gurley 2. Brown 3. Jones I realize it's dumb but I just couldn't get over my dislike of Beckham. I think Elliott might do better than Peterson do I took him and was lucky enough to handcuff him in the 14th round. You were spot on with your order as well. 5. Olson 6. Yeldon 7. Ajayi 8. Shepherd 9. Winston Rb's are like trade gold come midseason. Yeldon should at least split time with Ivory. Ajayi was named starter anyways, but I'm also banking on a heavier workload once Foster gets injured. Tyrod was going to be my pick, but went right before I was going to grab him in the 8th, so I went with Shepherd there and picked up Jameis in the 9th. It's risky, but I'm hoping to be able to trade for a QB later if necessary. If he stays healthy, I could see Clay getting the FLEX spot depending on matchups. Fuller was a 15th round free roll. I saw that he had a good preseason game, and decided to roll with it. Thanks for the feedback.

More important than ever to pick up FA;s as the season progresses. This season we are going to a FAAB system instead of waiver. I think it adds another layer of strategy. Not huge but at least you don't have to wait in line. Edited August 28, 2016 by Dante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Nice drafts, I finished up with 7 RB's, I don't give receivers much value after the middle rounds have passed by. WR's Julio ARob Evans M. Jones RB's Rawls, Langford, Dixon, Perkins, Booker, Payne, Foster QB's Luck Seattle defense and McManus for kicker. The strategy is that one or two of the young backs explode into a high end RB. Also made it a point to draft behind older starting backs like Johnathan Stewart to better my chances at gaining a starting back. Dixon looked great until the knee sprain...oh well odds in my favor I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
