chw42 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 QUOTE (TRU @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 08:37 PM) The best part about fantasy football, outside of winning money, is having a rooting interest in almost every game. Im guessing your league settings, but heres what I would do QB: Matthew Stafford RB: Latavius Murray RB: Melvin Gordon WR: DeAndre Hopkins WR: Keenan Allen TE: Rob Gronkowski Flex: Eric Decker K: Cairo Santos DEF: Seattle Bench: Doug Baldwin, Sea WR Bench: Tom Brady, NE QB Bench: Giovani Bernard, Cin RB Bench: Allen Hurns, Jax WR Bench: Isaiah Crowell, Cle RB Bench: Bilal Powell, NYJ RB Bench: Dorial Green-Beckham, Phi WR Ideally, you want Latavius Murray as your RB2.. I would try to use Doug Baldwin and Allen Hurns to get Doug Martin..If he wants Keenan Allen, it needs to be for David Johnson.. Id try Keenan Allen and Doug Baldwin for David Johnson in that case.. this way, you get a high end RB1 and move Murray to RB 2, Decker can slot in just fine as your WR2 and then you can play matchups for your flex. If Spencer Ware is a free agent in your league, drop Powell and pick him up. Wow that's really receiver heavy for a non-PPR league. I would trade Allen immediately for an RB. In standard, Allen for Martin is pretty damn fair. Not so much in PPR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) 12 Team 0.5 PPR League QB Cam Newton (5th) RB Todd Gurley (1st) RB C.J.

Obviously TE is a huge concern and will be a focus area on the waiver wire. I also have some worries about my WR3 & WR4 (Floyd & Diggs), but don't think either was a huge reach where selected and both have significant upside. And I was ecstatic to get Michael in the 9th & Sharpe in the 11th, two guys I had targeted in the 9 to 11 range.

TheTruth05 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 5, 2016 -> 04:03 PM) Haha I grabbed Josh Gordon too. I hate my team though. 10 team league, PPR. I picked last as well. QB - Aaron Rodgers WR - A.J. Green WR - Julian Edelman WR - Allen Hurns RB - Devonta Freeman RB - DeAngelo Williams TE - Rob Gronkowski W/R/T - Matt Forte K - Justin Tucker DEF - Cincinnati Bench RB - Jeremy Hill RB - Derrick Henry RB - T.J. Yeldon WR - Josh Gordon WR - Stefon Diggs TE - Dwayne Allen When Le'Veon Bell comes back, I'm screwed. I hope Hill bounces back. I like your squad SoxAce,I think you have a real nice starting lineup once Bell comes back because you can slot Forte in RB2 and put in Allen in your Flex, I think he's going to be a goal line contributor which is great. Althought I'm not too high on your RB depth, but we'll see what surprises come out on the waver wire. Diggs is a real hit/miss. He had a nice 3 game stretch last year but he cooled down late last year and Hill/Bradford doesn't scream exciting so we'll have to see if you can pick up some surprises the first couple weeks to stash.

Top heavy squad, I think Torrey Smith might end up being a better FL option than Diggs, since I have no confidence in Hill to have long,sustained drives to get Diggs the ball. Zac Miller isn't ideal but if the Bears system doesn't change substantially from last year I see no reason he won't be targeted a good amount, as long as he stays healthy I think you'll be ok there. Jennings is supposed to get more goal line carriers this year but I felt like I read that last year so he's a guy I wouldn't start. I think Michael should start with Rawls being set to RB2 on Seattle's depth chart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 05:36 PM) It is NOT PPR. Scoring is the same for both positions, except RBs get an extra point for 200+ yard games. If it's not PPR then that is a fair trade.

EDIT: Oh and any feedback would be welcome! I'm really leaning towards starting Wheaton over Woodhead in the Flex. I think him being the #2 receiver in Pitt now will help me and Woodhead is facing a tough D in KC. Any thoughts guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Had my 12 team .5 ppr league draft last night. It's a tiered keeper league where you have to keep 4 guys. My keepers were Gronk, Brees, Odell and Jordy. I ended up getting the 5th pick and since it's a keeper there were just no rb's worth grabbing early so I basically just said f*** it: Brees Langford Abdullah Beckham jr Jordy Gronk Amari Cooper Crosby Defense will be by committee but going Eagles this week Meh. EDIT: And illinlaw's post reminded me that I did nab Deangelo Williams so he'll be starting for me until Bell comes back.

illinilaw08 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Two very different roster decisions in two leagues - both are 12 team leagues, neither are PPR: The first is my main league. It's a keeper league with rampant trading. I kept Watkins, Cooper, and Bell and lucked into Antonio Brown. Because of the keeper league, RBs were very sparse. I have Deangelo Williams, so I'm covered through Bell's suspension, but my options for the 2nd RB spot are: Forsett Yeldon Duke Johnson I'm leaning toward Forsett because he's probably the starter there - at least until Dixon gets back. Duke Johnson has less value since it's not a PPR league. I don't have any idea as to how the Jags backfield shakes out, but sounds like Ivory is going to get the first crack at carries. Not feeling great about the RB situation there though. The second league, I have to pick two to start out of: Lamar Miller David Johnson Deangelo Williams I kind of feel like this one is a close your eyes and pick 2 type of decision...
