I draft this Sat for my ppr league. Let the games begin!

 

[Phoenix86]

I draft on Sunday and haven't played a league in a LONG time. What are some decent sites for evals?

 

[cloude27]

If you want to pay, rotopass is a pretty good deal for a bunch of sites. I personally like footballguys.com, they some free content to check out as well.

 

[lupi]

I didn't do any predraft rankings last year, but when I went to this year I couldn't find any of the sites still letting you do free with custom scoring.

 

[cloude27]

In a 10 team PPR league, just had the draft. What do you guys think? I like the team overall, but weak at TE. Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 2 FLEX (RB/WR/TE), 1 TE, 1 Def, 1 K.

QB - Blake Bortles, Kirk Cousins
RB - Lamar Miller, CJ Anderson, DeMarco Murray, Justin Forsett, Tevin Coleman
WR - AJ Green, Randall Cobb, Donte Moncrief, Marvin Jones, DeVante Parker, Kevin White, Devin Funchess
TE - Martellus Bennett
D - Texans
K - Chandler Catanzaro (Cards kicker)

The Titans cut McCluster and Sankey today. Not really surprising given their crowded backfield, but if you had said either of those would be cut last year, people would have thought you were crazy. Wow.

Yeah, IIRC people had Sankey pegged as the top rookie draft pick for dynasty leagues. What a sinkhole that turned out to be.

12 man standard.

Brady, Stafford, AP, J. Charles, D Williams, CJ Spiller, Maclin, Hurns, Edelman, Sanu, Mckinnon, Gates, Bennet, AZ, Gano

10 team PPR, QB flexable

A. Rogers, Marriota, RG3, D. Martin, L. Bell, D. Williams, S. Ware, A. Robinson, M. Evans, Edelman, Olsen, Gates, K. White, TJ Yeldon, AZ D, Crosby

Had to autodraft in the 12 man league.. grrrrr, not bad, but lacking in receiver depeartment.

10 man league looks pretty solid I think.

Bradford now the starting QB in minnesota.

Fantasy sharks and FF today let you do it for free.

 

[spacejamz]

which QB is a better start? D Carr vs Saints or D Prescott vs Giants?

Carr, better QB going against a far worse defense.

 

[digiram]

Ok, in a league where I can flex a qb. Do I flex Marriota, Ware, or RG3 this week?

Ware? You mean Spencer Ware? just odd that you mentioned QB but threw a RB in the middle. lol. Took me a minute to figure out who Ware was.

Depends on how QBs are scored in your league (and if it's PPR), but I'd probably go Ware, RG3, then Mariota. Mariota is playing the Vikings D...good defense. Ware is playing a poor SD team and KC will probably be ahead which would lead to carries for Ware. RG3...who the hell knows, but I'd think he'd have better success against the Philly D than Mariota would against the Min D.

Man, I realy like Marriota at home, even though it's against the Viking D, but the hype on starting Ware is far too strong. Also, in this league, the penalties against qb's are pretty heavy. I think taking a sack is like -2, which killed me a few times last year so, and I was more successfull starting 3 rb's last year to. So, lets roll with Ware.

Oh gawd, that is the worst stat ever in fantasy. I think we did that the very first year of the league, but realized how stupid it was halfway through. Hey, let's punish these players for something that is, on average, roughly 15% their fault. ...honestly, I wonder if that number exists?

 

[pyonir]

I think taking a sack is like -2,

honestly, I don't think I'd be in a league with that. To be blunt, that's dumb. I don't like negative points for anything really but can at least see it on INTs and fumbles (INTs aren't always a QB's fault either though...many times it's a dropped pass/poor hands/tipped pass by the receivers).

Thing about Ware is that Charles isn't going to be ready to go. West will take some carries away, but again, they should be ahead early so plenty of carries to go around. In theory. If I'm wrong...it's not my fault.

Told you. The Chiefs weren't ahead big like I thought, but Ware still had a big day...much better than Mariota.

(Yes, I would have not bumped this topic had I been wrong. )

I wonder what Andrew Luck's value would have been in that league last year-- 38 points?

As I mentioned, we also tried that one year and in the MLB league around that same time, we had negatives, like "Caught Stealing." Man, was that ever controversial.

Vikings D ftw. Kendricks is from my hometown. He had the pick 6 w00t.

IMO, it's worth it just for Brown. I don't think he's serious though.
