In one of my leagues (12 teams), I managed to grab Antonio Brown with the 8th pick and Gronkowski on the way back in the 2nd. Needless to say, I'm eating.

Tommy has me about 20 points up going into the weekend. Don't see anything on my opponent's side that worries me. This one should be in the bag.

Gronk + Brady = 62.5 pts
They were both steals in the 3rd and 14th rounds.

Well if you're getting Brady in the 14th then your league is drunk and Ochocinco probably got drafted.
Anyway, the upshot of this game is that Brown, Ben, Brady, Gronk are all just as usable as last year. And the Steelers are running a high school college pass defense so basically start all receivers against them until further notice. Torrey Smith, Vernon Davis, welcome to fantasy relevance.
Please sign me up to your league next season. Gronkowski in the third and Brady in the 14th?whattttttt is it a 6 team league?

8 man league, $600 1st place / $200 2nd place. And I'm counting on their drunken incompetence! My first 3 rounds went Lacy, Beckham Jr., and Gronk.

LOL at that draft board. That's easy money. 3 DEF in round 7, 4 kickers before round 15, Big Ben in round 2!!! Just glorious

That draft board is hilarious. I love the scramble to get defenses in the 7th round. Congrats on the $600.

It's still a 8 man league. Even though I shake my head at a lot of those picks at their respective round, everyone still has a ridiculously stacked team. Not easy money at all IMO. Add in 4 more drunk dudes and that might be the case though lol.

Exactly, it'll still be a challenge from week to week. I just can't believe the guy that picked Olsen before Graham. He's a fucking doctor!

Did anyone else feel obligated to draft at least one player from their home team? I grabbed Desean Jackson. Obviously not a crazy pick but there were a couple of guys in front of him at the time that were ranked higher.
Anyway, here's hoping to a Sunday full of Cousins to Desean, aka Long Gone Desean, aka Action Jackson.

I wanted some Eagles on my team but I was drafting with a bunch of big fans that really reached. The only dude I could get was Cody Parkey.

Took part in my first keeper league (8 people) with Individual Defensive Players (No team defences).
Draft was hilarious as it was almost everyone's first time in a keeper league+IDP's so no one was confident on how far to reach for players.
I ended up with
Matt Ryan
Demarco Murray
CJ Anderson
AJ Green
DeAndre Hopkins
Travis Kelce
Melvin Gordon
Stephen Gostowski
Khalil Mack
Von Miller
Harrison Smith
Bench:
Matt Stafford
Todd Gurley
Jeremy Maclin
Sammy Watkins
Richard Rodgers
David Johnson
Kelvin Benjamin
Benjamin is obviously a pick for next season, I think I picked him up in the 16th or 17th round.
Still tossing up over my starting receivers for week 1 though, any advice?

Nice. Cody Parker is my kicker too.
This is my first time playing Fantasy Football. 10-man standard. I've done a bit of research and kept on top of the news regarding my players, but I'm conflicted on my week 1 roster.
My RB stable includes Eddie Lacy, Frank Gore, Giovani Bernard, and Joique Bell. Eddie is a lock, obviously, but who should be RB2? I'm hesitant to start Gore against that Buffalo defense.

FantasyPros is a good place to start:
http://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/start/rb.php?league=357967
You can find notes about players from various sources. Can also import your team and get tips on who to start based on their consensus rankings.
Personally, I wouldn't do it. I know people keep hyping up Abdullah, but who knows what role he will actually have. He could have some great games, but then he could have games where he does nothing. Cooper is a stud, but would you actually start him over Julio or Tate? I mean, you stick him in the flex, but then move Murray to RB, but then would you use Abdullah over Murrary or Martin? The trade would you give a little more depth, but depth is overrated in Fantasy.
And finally, if Forsett stays healthy, I see him having even a better year than last. With Trestman as his OC, he could be a monster.
I like Gore over the other two. I know Buffalo has a stingy D, but with Gore, you just gotta hope that he produces from pure volume. I don't see Bernard doing much playing behind Hill. And with Bell, he's coming off an injury that kept him out of all pre season and he's got Riddick and Abdullah stealing touches. If Bell was completely healthy, and didn't have competition, Bell would be my pick. But that's not the case, so I say go with Gore.

Watkins, AD and Alfred Morris? I'd take that.
Really? I know it will improve my lineup but losing AB is not easy. Foster might get back in a few weeks and be a monster. I have read that Alfred Morris is this year's bust (not sure based on what)

Morris' future game flow scares me. He isn't used in the passing game and Washington really hyping Matt Jones
Rice-Eater

The way I look at it, Antonio for AP is about an even trade. So basically are you willing to give up Arian for Watkins and Morris? I wouldn't because I don't trust either guy. Watkins disappeared in a lot of games last year and now has a running QB with very little experience at the helm. Morris is traditionally better with RG3 and hasn't been anything but mediocre to above average in the past couple of years. The coaches really like Matt Jones(his back up), so that may cut into his carries and he was never a 3 down back in the first place. I'd take my chances with Foster if I were you.
I'd do that deal in a second.

Guys I really need a quick advice. I have an offer and I'm not sure if its a good one.
I GET
Adrian Peterson
Sammy Watkins
Alfred Morris
I SEND
Antonio Brown
Arian Foster (I know hes injured)
What do you guys think? should I take it?
Here is my team.
And his team
I take the trade as your RBs aren't great and Foster is no guarantee
Just accepted a trade in my 1 PPR 12 team league.
I send:
Davante Adams
Isiah Crowell
I receive:
Latavius Murray
Terrence Williams
My WRs:
Golden Tate
Mike Evans
Charles Johnson
Pierre Garcon
My RBs:
Jeremy Hill
Ryan Mathews
Joique Bell
Melvin Gordon
I'm having doubts... didn't really think it through and just accepted since I wanted a better RB. What do y'all think?

I think your WR are weaker than your RB but it's easier to find a solid WR on the waiver wire throughout the season.
Davante Adams isn't going to be worth a 4th rd pick. He doesn't turn into Randall Cobb just because of opportunity. Unless he's made a huge leap from last year he's going to be very inconsistent and frustrating to own. You'll never know when it's going to be his day or Jones, Montgomery, Janis, TE Rogers, ect.
I don't mind selling high before you know what you have in Adams but Murray could be just as volatile . I would have targeted a RB you have more of an idea of production you'll get out of him. At least he looks like he improved in the preseason, more decisive, has some patience to left the holes develop so the narrative that he had a few big runs from a couple broken plays and that's it from last year is hopefully nothing to worry about anymore.
Though you did give up another starting RB or essentially nothing. Terrence Williams could be a surprise, he has the clear #2 job , good QB, good offense, he has all the opportunity in the world he's never done anything with it. Could I see him having a break out? Sure but so could Marvin Jones, Kenny Stills, Brian Quick and a number of other WR in that later round flier tier.I guess if you're really high on Murray, who could have gone as early as the third 3 depending on what site you draft from, you could view it as a 2 for 1 and you opened up a spot who happens to be Williams til someone better comes along.
I hope that was a joke cause otherwise your league is filled with Tacos.
EDIT: Never mind saw your draft board.
Wow. that league is bad.
TRENT RICHARDSON WAS DRAFTED.

Gronk in the third round? Brady in the 14th? Is this a 4 team league?

Fellow parkey owner here as well. I also have Nelson agholor.

Gore. Don't try to out think yourself with matchups too much. It's one thing between equal talebt players, but gore is very far ahead of those other two. Bernard needs to prove that hes worth starting and bell will be splitting time with 2 other running backs, one of which, abdullah, has a lot of excitement behind.
Edit --
Love these reports that foster is due back in 2 to 3 weeks, could be my biggest steal. Got him late because we drafted after week 2 in preseason when everything was negative. I've got Forte (who I'm meh on), L Murray (keeper), and Ameer abdullah, in a12 team ppr, so adding a healthy foster would be great
The Albatross

Here's my lineup (12 team, PPR)
Only a handful I'm baking over. The Agholor vs. John Brown vs. Ameer Abdullah decision is still weighing on me.
Going to go Agholor & John Brown this week I think, but it's mostly good news surrounding all of them and I feel like Brown has the lowest floor.
(Just realized I have the last 4 posts in this thread.... MY BAD)

I got Keenan Allen in one league, but usually I don't draft chargers because they go so high in local leagues.

Ugh, not what I want to read a week after drafting him in fantasy (not till the 6th round at least, but took him instead of Brady :/ ) Hopefully Manning keeps it together for a least most of the regular season like last year.
I'd go with Walker and Woodhead, but close calls for both.

Walker over Rudolph for sure. Woodhead vs Bernard is a little harder though. I'd probably go for Woodhead since your league is PPR. Woodhead is going to get a lot of 3rd down action.

As a Ravens fan, you're probably pretty safe in week one. I'm sure he'll get plenty of points.

Ok for my 2nd Flex spot I have:
Titans RB Bishop Sankey @ Tampa Bay
Saints WR Brandon Coleman @ Arizona
Sankey should get 15 carries but is so bleh... Coleman in the 3rd WR in 3 WR sets, may see some Patrick Patterson but dude is a home run hitter on a team that can hit homers with Brees. Thoughts?
