I like Foster/Stacy/Martin/Ellington all more than him. Bell is close at this point.

He always struck me as a system back (zone-blocking/Shanahan), and now the system is gone and replaced with one that doesn't really fit his skill set. Also I'm not sold at all on the Redskin O right now, RGIII could be amazing or could be meh, and I'm really not sure which it will be.

i do esp in non ppr where gronk's td value separates him even more. non ppr wr dont entice me much in the 3rd. morris is a bit too early too. foster is fine tho.

i dunno, 11th seems fine for gordon. i guess he should go earlier in leagues with smaller starting requirements. theres still quite a few viable players in the 9th and 10th. hyde, pierce, fjax, sjax, greg jennings, many qbs, kelvin, ridley, shorts, are tough to pass on for gordon.

fwiw, i took him in the early 13th of a start 2 flex league.

Fair enough, but lol at Jennings over him and I think Kelvin/Shorts are close, though I take Gordon over them too. I would def take my starting QB and prob all of those RB's over him.

And yeah, just because I think he should be gone by the 10th certainly doesn't mean he will be. If you can get him later, then that is awesome imo. It's akin to getting Gronk late 4th...tough to count on, but amazing if you can make it happen.

http://fantasyfootballcalculator.com/draft/2339862 - stopped at 10, timed out wanted gordon

http://fantasyfootballcalculator.com/draft/2340010 - thoughts on this draft? experimenting, should I have laid off toby and gone wr earlier? stopped after 11

which team is stronger?

my first real draft: 10 team std scoring, all TDs are 6 pts; 2rb,2wr,1 flex

Nick Foles
Charles, Montee Ball, Spiller, Sankey, Lamar Miller, Pierce
Demaryius , Allen, Welker, Wright, Cooper, Brandin Cooks
Reed

I was in the 3 spot and was planning on going rb/rb/wr or rb/rb/rb (or atleast heavy RB early. However, I ended up going rb/wr/rb/wr/rb/wr/rb/wr through the 1st 8 rounds. Thoughts?

Congrats on the championship, though I assume you already knew you were gonna be a heavy favorite in this league before the draft. Ez leagues are ez

Half the league is playing FF for only their 2nd year ever while the other half are about my same level, which I would say is decent.

Rodgers, Brees, manning, stafford, & rg3 went 4, 5, 9, 22, and 34th. Matt prater went 52.

Should I have gone Ellington 38th overall instead of Keenan Allen after Charles, d Thomas, and ball?

12 team standard league
25 pass yds/pt, 4 pt pass td, 10 rush/rec yds/pt, 6 pt rush/rec td

QB: Nick Foles
RB: Eddie Lacy, Arian Foster, Ben Tate, Fred Jackson, Darren McFadden, Shonn Greene
WR: Andre Johnson, Percy Harvin, Kelvin Benjamin, Emmanuel Sanders, Josh Gordon
TE: Rob Gronkowski
IDP: Derrick Johnson

I'm pretty thin at WR. I was never planning to pick Foles, but he fell to me in the 10th round.

http://fantasyfootballcalculator.com/draft/2341097

http://fantasyfootballcalculator.com/draft/2341173

feeling pretty good about both of these from the 2, thoughts on which is better and where I can improve?

Seems pretty average but I'm not high on Foster so I feel your RB's are just ok, WR's meh obv, but that's what happens when you wait until rd 4 (I'm assuming) to pick one. What other qbs were there in 10? I have Foles as the 11th or 12th ranked QB so I don't think that is great value (I realize I'm lower than him on most too though).

Gronk is great obv and if he can get/stay healthy, Foster can get/stay healthy, and Gordon can get/stay unsuspended, it could be a really good, but that's a lot of ifs. Percy and Andre are not without their injury risks too obv.

When I grab a high risk player or two early on (like Foster or Gronk), I try to spend my middle picks on some safer bets, while you just seemed to gamble it up non-stop.

Do i win this YPL $100 auction? kinda mad at myself for taking Stacy because I couldn't get Gronk.

Cutler $5
Lacy $50, Stacy $30, Gore $11, Sankey $11, Freeman $2
Jordy $35, Alshon $35, Cooks $9, Sanders $1, Hopkins $1, Boldin $1
Cameron $8
Dawson $1
New Orleans $1

Did 2 $100 YPL auctions simultaneously and here is the other one... disconnected for 1 player and it gave me Percy for $20........ really huge sigh. Got Gronk for $28 when Jimmy went for $69!

Cutler $3, Big Ben $1
Gore $20, Demarco $42, West $3, Lamar $8
Demariyus $53, Percy $20, Torrey $12, Benjamin $5, Sanders $1
Gronk $28, Rudoplh $2
Gould $1
Zona $1

Looks pretty damn solid to me. Can't complain too much about missing Gronk when you get Cameron for $8. Would prefer a better WR3, but one of Cooks, Sanders ($1 is ridic obv) or Hopkins are bound to be solid there and every other spot looks good to great so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Haven't done any YPL auctions...how was the competition in your opinion?

They are very soft IMO. I find myself sitting out for the top RB's because Forte+ are going 60+, along with Graham which is absolutely ridiculous. The discrepancy between what Graham is going for and what Julius and Gronk are going for is insane.

I just feel like people spaz early so hard and you can crush the bottom of the top tier and top of the next tier players.

really hard to say without knowing scoring system

if it's ppr on 1st draft then i think team 3 crushed

Sorry. Neither ppr
10 man, std, non ppr, 2rb, 2w/r flex
I'm in the 2 spot

i like jordy>antonio brown in non ppr but it's close enough where reasonable people can differ probably. Only other pick that stands out to me personally is I think I like AJ better than Fitz but I don't think that's a very popular opinion seeing as how AJ almost fell to you a whole round later. Hunter in the 13th is a nice flier I think. I don't think you really crushed the 1st draft but team seems alright to me. A lot of it has to do with whether your opponents make really bad mistakes and a guy falls to you. 2nd draft looks a lot like the first for you so you clearly believe in some of those guys. not really sure why you would roster 3 qbs though and I think absolutely have to grab Hill at some point if you draft bernard. just my 2c, I don't claim to be good ha. I would have grabbed someone like Randle or Hunter over the 3rd qb for sure. that just doesn't make any sense to me

Andre Johnson is so blech in non-PPR. Only advantage he has over Fitz is not being in the NFC West.

Both have potential stars lining up opposite them and both have RBs heavily involved in the passing game to take away volume targets. But Fitz has the better QB, better offensive scheme, more pass-friendly coach, red zone targets, and being Larry Fitzgerald.

AJ is a great talent but the opportunity is slightly lesser for TDs in a huge way. Fitzpatrick can get him the ball enough for a good year but those 7-9 catch games of 100-120 yards that saved you in the past when he wouldn't score a TD (and hard to see AJ getting to 7 TDs) may get cut down. You're not getting last year out of him but no reason to believe you can't get last year's production out of Fitzgerald!

I'd project ranges dominated by:
AJ - 90-100/1100-1200/4-5
Fitz - 80-90/950-1100/10-12

Can't really predict TDs, but in this case, that gap isn't hard to predict.

PPR, 6 pt for all TDs, 10 teams, start 3 WR

Had 10th pick...thoughts? Feels a little shallow at RB, but otherwise very happy.

1. Demaryius
2. Dez
3. Gio
4. Montee
5. Cam
6. Crabtree
7. Rashad Jennings
8. Kendall Wright
9. Kyle Rudolph
10. Brandin Cooks
11. Carlos Hyde
12. Rams D
13. Mark Ingram
14. Josh Gordon
15. Tannehill
16. Hauschka

Lineup:

QB - Cam
RB - Ball/Bernard
WR - Demaryius/Dez/Crabtree
TE - Rudolph
D - Rams
K - Hauschka
BENCH - Jennings, K Wright, Cooks, Gordon, Hyde, Ingram, Tannehill

lol wtf

Playing against little kids or women from your work? Given the massive value you got in the first 4 rounds, you almost certainly missed some in 5 and prob 6, 8, 9 and 12 obv. Cooks, Hyde and Gordon are nice value though.

If only you didn't pick Cam in 5 you prob would go undefeated.

Yeah, I made a conscious decision to gamble this year. I thought my team was pretty boom/bust. I had a hard time taking Foles. Kaepernick, Romo, Wilson, and Rivers were are still available and I came close to taking Kaep or just waiting. I wish I would've waited as Wilson slid to the 14th round.

not sure if i like the first team. great RB depth. would MUCH rather have gronk and a lesser RB than stacy/cam. i guess if you posted a ypl draft where u picked like 6th and went lacy/nelson/jeffrey/stacy/cameron/sankey/gore i guess id kinda like it.

second team id be very happy with even with drastically overpaying for percy.

lol @ multitabling ypl auctions.

I was so mad at myself when I had $60 left with lacy sankey cooks jordy and Alshon. I'm
Not super into Stacy but he was about to go super cheap then a guy bids him up from like 21 to 30 then gronk gets nominated and he goes a little more than my max bid . I'd snap trade Stacy and Cameron for gronk and just kill everyone

It's actually pretty fun multitabling them. Kinda slow otherwise. I do 1 on iPad and 1 on laptop

So just did my first draft of the year, 14 team yahoo standard scoring league with friends. Qb's tend to go way before they should in this league, and I value RB's highly in general but especially in a 14 team league where they are going to be super scarce.

1(8) Montee Ball
2(21) Arian Foster
3(34) Rob Gronkowski
4(47) Roddy White
5(60) Andrew Luck
6(73) Kendall Wright
7(86) lamar miller
8(99) justin hunter
9(112) josh gordon
10(125) markhus wheaton
11(138) andrew hawkins
12(151) mark ingram
13(164) jonathan grimes

I knew I wanted to target gronk in 3rd/4th so that played into my decisions in rounds 1/2...

rd 1 megatron was still on the board but between my love for rb's, being high on montee ball and the league being so deep I really preferred a rb and he was the highest on my list.

rd 2 antonio brown, gio and jordy were all there but foster i have higher than gio so that part of the decision was easy. It was really close between brown and foster but I think Id rather try to lock up a really solid running back core. this could be a pretty decent mistake not quite sure.

rd 6 felt like a reach for luck but at that time kendall wright was the best wr otb and i got him to come back in the next round anyway so I dont feel too bad about this pick

If I had taken a wr in the first two rounds and gone gronk in 3, I would have been pretty unhappy at rb 2 as the running backs going off the board in round 4 were frank gore, ray rice, sankey...and I dont love any of those guys.

Feel like my team is super boom or bust with foster/ball/gronk/justin hunter/gordon

you would proly be a lot better at rb if you woulda taken one instead of cam. cam in the 5th in a 10 teamer is real bad. he should be around in the 8th and its still a reach.
