NFL Fantasy Football

[MacDaddy77]

I'd play Ben, There's a better chance Dallas goes crazy against Lions and that will lead to more running to eat clock. I think the Ravens steelers game will be close so Ben will have to throw for the entire game.


Also I think both Reed and Garcon are injured so Davis might be the best out of those. Watch for updates on Garcon though

My $0.02 good luck to everyone in their league championships

I won the championship thanks to Bell. He has been unbelievable. Jordy Nelson really helped out a lot too.

BUMP!

Fantasy football drafts will be happening over the next few weeks.

I thought I would give this a bump and get some discussion going.

Any good sleepers this year? Rookies that will surprise?

Who's going 1st overall?

Does anyone have a good site to get some good draft info? Or how do you best prepare?

[Hockey]

Non rookie potential sleepers:

Cam Meredith
Adam Thielen
Josh Doctson
Colby Fleener
Johnathan Williams(if Shady gets hurt)
Chris Conley
Rookies to keep an eye on besides the obvious

- Kenny Golladay(probably people will be on him now
-Kareem Hunt
-Alvin Kamara
-Chris Godwin
-Taywan Taylor
-Evan Engram
-Joe Williams
-Jamal Williams
-Cooper Kupp


Can't go wrong with DJ or Bell at first overall

I'd add CJ Prosise to that list, especially in PPR formats. You can usually get him in the 10th round or higher in 12-team leagues.

- Kenny Golladay(probably people will be on him now
-Kareem Hunt
-Alvin Kamara
-Chris Godwin
-Taywan Taylor
-Evan Engram
-Joe Williams
-Jamal Williams
-Cooper Kupp

I don't think Godwin will get enough targets this year to make an impact but he's a good pick in keeper leagues. Same with Taywan Taylor, especially with Davis and Decker there now. I really liked Marlon Mack coming out of college but he seems to be stuck at third on the depth chart. May still be worth a stash in the later rounds.

The guy with the 12th pick on our Draft yesterday had network issues...he autodrafted a kicker in round 15...than selected his own kickers in rounds 16 and 17. Should teach that cheap jerk to splurge for something better than dial up internet!

I tried to get every Raider under the sun hoping to either enjoy their failure in real life or profit from their success. It's a PPR league, 1 point per reception. I was late to the draft so it Autodrafted McCoy with my first pick. I might have taken Mike Evans instead had I been picking.

QB Carr OAK
RB McCoy BUF
RB Elliot DAL
WR A.Cooper OAK
WR M.Bryant PIT
TE H.Henry LAC
Flex T.Montgomery GB
Flex K.Benjamin Car
D/ST Houston
K Janikowski OAK

BN E.Ebron DET
BN J.White NE
BN D.Sproles Phi
BN D.McFadden DAL
BN M.Sanu ATL
BN C.Palmer AZ
BN R.Matthews TN

Not the worst team I've ever drafted. I gambled on Zeke, and his Suspension being reduced. The way I see it...usually one of my first 3 picks Flames out...so why not reach in round 3 for a guy who could be hot at the time of year when you need to win.

My league decided to do the draft on the Sunday of the long weekend. Who else is stuck with idiots like that?

[dustygoon]

Complete noob to fantasy football. Doing it with my son and a bunch of other dad/son combos.

Help!

Standard league (not PPR).

What do I do? Where do i go for good info?

Apparently grab RB's with first couple picks?

Any other tips?

Depends where you draft in round 1. If you are drafting 3,4,5 go with Brown, Jones, Beckham. Whatever you do not draft a QB early. Earliest you should draft one is at least round 3 and that's only Aaron Rodgers. I personally wait on QB until at least round 9.

Tried joining to help out Dis but it just directs me to a league called Blood Sweat and Beers...and its weird because i was able to look at VK earlier.

Who would you take as a backup to Luck?

Palmer
Dalton
Cousins

[Sylvanfan]

I took Palmer as my backup.

I got my hands on Marshawn Lynch. Cost me Ty Montgomery and Kevin Benjamin and I also got Kenny Britton. It's called fantasy because if you really want, you can own anyone you want. Now all I need is Crabtree and I either relish in Raider failure or profit from their success.

[devo22]

had my draft yesterday (5th pick in a 12 team league, PPR). Immediate feeling is a bit lukewarm, but we'll see.

QB - Jameis Winston, Carson Wentz
RB - Jordan Howard, Lamar Miller, Ezekiel Elliott, Duke Johnson Jr, Derrick Henry
WR - Julio Jones, Davante Adams, DeSean Jackson, Tyrell Williams
TE - Travis Kelce, O.J. Howard
D/ST - Vikings
K - Wil Lutz

My league is drafting tonight at 8pmMDT. We currently have 10 teams but a couple more would be nice.

It's a brand new head to head keeper league (4 players.) $50 buy in to be collected via email transfer sometime after the draft. Today will be a snake draft then standard drafts based on final standings each new season. Positions are QB, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, K, DEF, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, IR.

I've played with this group since 2011.

If we have an odd number of teams by 7pm, we'll have to kick the last team that joined so we can move forward with the draft.
