I got the 11th pick in a 14 team league.

I'm assuming dez, Aj green, bell, Elliot or Lamar Miller (one or a few at least) will still be available.

Probably. 11 means you pick again 6 spots later, so you get a good mix from Tier 2.

How bad does this romo injury hurt dez's stock?

Pretty bad. 6-10 weeks means anywhere from 4 games to half the season. If Dak turns out to be good, no worries, but if not...you could be better off with Demaryius Thomas...

 

[Cappa]

Reed and Maclin are in the same tier:
http://www.borischen.co/?m=1

Le'Veon Bell does have a suspension so that has to be taken into account when determining his value. There's a reason why he's not being taken in the first round.

I don't know who or what boris Chen is but while Reed and Maclin have the same ADP I think Jordan Reed is a much better value than Maclin simply based on ADP. Reed is the better player and you can get a player of Maclins worth a few draft spots later.

If you had the choice in a .5 pot league, who would you target?

Yes Romo injury absolutely affects Bryant. His stats are way up with Romo and way down without him. If AJ Green is available at the 11 spot you have potentially(who I think) has a shot at being the top wr in fantasy this year. I haven't drafted AJ Green in any league (yet because i haven't had the chance to) but if I'm at the 11 spot I'm taking green all day.

This hurts Dez in the sense that guys like Allen Robinson, Jordy, Keenan, Evans, Marshall, Green are better picks than him. At pick 11 try to grab 2 of those guys.

Good wide receivers and TE. McCoy is a good pickup, not sure about Murray and how many carries he'll lose to Derrick Henry, but Blount should be the Patriots back for the majority of the year. QBs and backups look decent for a 12 team league. I'd say you did pretty good.

 

[Jarnet87]

I got Levon in the 2nd round (pick 22) in a 14 man league. I thought the value was pretty good, I'll grab Deangelo and another RB or two to fill the 3 week void. Deangelo taken pick 41 overall (round 3). Uwotm8

In a Keeper League; which 3 of these 4 would you keep

Aaron Rodgers
Alshon Jeffery
Dex Bryant
Lamar Miller

As of right now I have A Rod, Jeffery & Miller because of the injury to Romo. I have until tomorrow for them to be locked in. What do you think?

You'd need to explain how your keepers work. Round you drafted them in last year? 1st and 2nd round pick? Set $ amount of your auction budget?

Not knowing anything about your league scoring - I'd think Miller for sure.

I'm not 100% sold on Miller even though I drafted him as well. At first blush though I think Rodgers/Dex/Miller would be my take assuming standard scoring. No clue yet how many targets Kevin White could take from Jeffrey

My league usually drafts the Wednesday night before the season starts. This year the Redskins and Bucs game has moved to Wednesday night. I'm on yahoo and wondering if I can upload draft results later that night? I hope it doesn't lock the league and hope it counts the points scored for that evening.

You did well. I'm not big on Forte but can see the appeal. QBs are shaky.

Just did a post asking about Leveon. Im surprised he lasted that long in your draft for you to get him.

 

[The Outsider]

It's a money league too, so here's hoping everyone stays healthy and performs well then.

I'm hoping Forte can produce solid RB2 numbers with the new team. PPR won't hurt, either. Agreed that QBs are my weak link, but I wasn't sold on grabbing anyone too early (Rodgers went 2nd round, which is crazy talk).

Pretty sure Le'Veon had a 15ADP on Yahoo, so yeah, I wouldn't expect him to fall to 25 like he did for me. Guess the suspension/injury concerns scared everyone else off.

 

[natjjohn]

Additional Leveon question.

PPR:

Leveon or a high receiver like AJ green, etc.

I like this team here, except for Mathews in the 5th round. I'm just not that high on him. Walker in round 7 was a nice pick because he has a good chance of finishing as a top 2 TE.

Just finished my draft tonight...4th pick 12man STD and AB somehow fell to me.

1. Antonio Brown
2. Mark Ingram
3. Amari Cooper
4. Jeremy Maclin
5. Jordan Reed
6. Arian Foster
7. Drew Brees
8. Stefan Diggs
9. Duke Johnson
10. Tevin Coleman
11. Torrey Smith
12. Jay Ajayi
13. Spencer Ware
14. Buck Allen

Not crazy about my RBs at all but I couldn't pass up Reed in the 5th round and I've always been taking Brees if he falls to me in the 7th. Hopefully I could get an RB2 the whole year out of Foster/Ajayi. Will eventually need to drop 2 guys before week 1 for a K and Def.

I am devastated, I told myself over and over again that I would get Josh Gordon, but I wanted to keep waiting just incase, and then on the 18th of 20 picks it would take to snake back to me someone took him. I chose Stefon Diggs the pick before that, I was gambling that Gordon would still be there. I'm so frustrated, nobody knew about him really, the person took him just as a whatever pick. I guess my team is okay, I feel whatever about it.

As the defending league champion I felt a ton of pressure on me this draft, dont think I lived up to the hype : /

 

[Rice-Eater]

Where would folks take Leveon bell? Late first/early second seem right or too early or late?

I personally think Leveon should be a early 2nd rounder considering he'll miss 3 games. But if you really want him and are too afraid that he won't come back to you then take him in the late 1st round. In my 2nd league I drafted 11, my cousin drafted right behind me at 12. I know he wants Leveon really badly. I knew I wouldn't get Leveon with the 14th pick so I felt I had to take him 11th overall. I ended up getting Allen Robinson in the 2nd round so I was pretty happy about that.

It's hard for me to say what you should do though if you have no idea who the guys above you want. You just have to use your gut feeling if you're not sure. As for the question of AJ Green or Leveon Bell(minus 3 games), it's hard to turn down Leveon for anyone outside of the current top 3 RB/WR but in the end I'd still take AJ over Leveon.

looks really good for a 14 man league; hopefully dalton doesn't regress (he has looked good in the preseason for what it's worth) and forte is able to put up rb2 numbers (i believe he will)

 

[necrosis]

for everyone that has drafted so far: from what i've read and seen, josh gordon should be targeted in rounds 6-7. does this sound about right?

That's way too early for Josh Gordon.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

Feeling pretty meh overall, 12 team half point PPR. Some jackass took both Cam and Aaron Rodgers and there was an early run on QBs afterward which shook things up a bit.

QB Carson Palmer
RB Jamaal Charles
RB DeMarco Murray
WR Antonio Brown
WR Amari Cooper
TE Julius Thomas
FLEX Kelvin Benjamin
D/ST Chiefs D/ST D/ST
K Graham Gano

Bench Duke Johnson Jr.
Bench Vincent Jackson
Bench Tyler Eifert*
Bench Darren Sproles
Bench Andy Dalton
Bench James White

I'll probably drop Dalton and pick up Spencer Ware since Charles is looking shaky for the start of the season. I wouldn't feel good if Kelvin was my WR2 but I'm hopefully he can produce as a flex.

 

[Cappa]

It takes an aggregate of dozens of rankings and sorts them into tiers. Are you a Redskins fan by chance?

Huh, that sounds really lame. Does it take into account ADP, SOS, your positional needs? It just seems like useless information like of course Antonio brown is tier 1 lol it seems like obvious stuff but it doesn't seem to give you enough information to warrant using it as a reason to exclusively argue one player is better than another.

Id much rather rely on ADP, SOS, and how good an offense is. I'm not a Redskins fan, I'm a bucs fan. I just like the Redskins offense much more than the Chiefs and cousins is a better QB for fantasy.

Wow that team is amazing. You got a legit qb 1 in Carson Palmer and are solid at every position. I would definitely drop Dalton and pick up ware as Charles handcuff. Not a fan of your Te situation, Murray as RB 2 is yuck but duke Johnson is a great pick up. Benjamin as a wr3 is fine. Good draft. I love early QB runs in drafts means more players for me to pick up.

Did you know some of the best fantasy QBs last season weren't even drafted in majority of leagues? Yeah holding off on a QB is good strategy unless you're in a two QB or 6 TD pass league there really isn't a reason to go early with QB

 

[Cappa]

I can see how it would be useful,it just makes it easier to follow but how is it different from fantasy pros which is basically the same thing? I'll take a closer look when I get home,maybe I'm just not understanding it. i personally think there are better options out there.(football guys draft dominator app is one that comes to mind)

Whatever works for you and others is all that matters though !

[Crazymoogle]

(football guys draft dominator app is one that comes to mind.

It's a really good app. Utterly useless for my keeper league because they for some reason push TE way too soon but I think in a standard draft it's perfect.

EDIT: I pretty much think it's because by default it pushes rankings over upside, and TEs are like a zero on upside in a real ranksheet. They haven't quite figured out how to author dynamic rankings that reduce TE priority compared to RB/WR if you already have one.

Anybody interested in joining a league? It's me and a couple of friends and I have some slots open. It's 8 man right now but I can increase the number of teams. Running on NFL app. I take it pretty serious so there shouldn't be any AFKers. PM me if you'd like a spot. Draft is set for the weekend. I have Sunday night est as of right now.

Edit: More info. Currently have 5 slots taken. 6 if a friend stops lagging, so two spots open. Can increase the size to 10. Draft is set for 8:30pm est Sunday but subject to change depending on everyone's schedule. Tweaked standard/PPR scoring settings, most notable changes are no negatives for defense, -1 for INTs, and 6pts for Passing TDs. I have receptions at +1 atm, but may change it to .5. Trying to figure out a good balance.

1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, K, Def, 1 flex (rb, wr, te). 6 bench slots, 1 reserve. Starts week 1, 3 week playoffs. No entry fee. For you gaffers, I may throw in a gift card of your choice for a bit of incentive. Still, it's all for fun.

Beginners welcome.

My friends are probably casual at best, and I'm probably the only real one that does research and stuff like that.

It was ill-advised move to bank on people forgetting about Flash Gordon. I mean, he was super hyped in 2013 and any fantasy player would take a shot at him, especially in round 10 when people are looking for upside. Another misstep was taking Defenses back-to-back in rounds 12 and 13, when you should be stockpiling sleepers at WR or RB.

I have to drop 2 of Duke Johnson, Jay Ajayi, Spencer Ware, Buck Allen before the season starts so I could pick up a D and Kicker. Ware has to be a must own right now because of the reports about Charles over the last few days, right? I would think Ajayi and Allen but I own Foster so I feel like Ajayi has a *bit* more value to me.
