Fantasy Football 2014: Talk, Advice, & Start 'em, Sit 'em

[UNC41]

My only keeper league is an auction, but selling keepers is a ton of fun before the draft and gives people who drafted or used their FAAB well the previous year an advantage. I'm a huge fan of it.

Draft tonight. Any rookies you guys are high on? Work & kids have me very unprepared this year.

Brandin Cooks and Kelvin Benjamin at wr. Both are flex option guys, or will be at some point this season.

[kydmb99]

Devonta Freeman.

I think Jonathan Grimes is worth a late round flier... Arian Foster's backup.

[Keyz]

definitely devonta
i could easily see SJax going down quick
that is, if he'll even be ready for the start of the season

Jordan Matthews
Guy was a fucking stud at Vandy
And he can get open in the pros also

how bad do you want him, bud?
make me an offer

[kittensXLI]

Ended up in 2 leagues this year. First draft was last night.
12-teams, full point PPR, Auction draft with $200 allowance. Remaining settings are standard scoring; no bonuses either.
We start QB, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, WR+RB+TE flex, K, DEF. 6 bench spots.



Tony Romo

Brandon Marshall
Roddy White
Torrey Smith
Cordarrelle Patterson

Shane Vereen
CJ Spiller
Trent Richardson
Chris Johnson
Steven Jackson
Lamar Miller
Christine Michael

Greg Olsen
Kyle Rudolph

Adam Vinatieri

Rams defense



I hate my RBs.

[kydmb99]

I hate Spiller this year. Pretty obvious Bills coaching staff has no idea how to use him. Like Vereen in PPR though.

I think your best options will be waiver wire obviously or hoping one of your WRs or TEs blows up so you could trade for RB. Could see that with Patterson or Rudolph.

[hailtopitt]

i see patterson creeping up the rankings, but the vikes offense looks to bad most of the time

not sure about him

[Keyz]

i'm confused.
why only draft 4 WRs?

[Nvetta]

I'm not touching Patterson either.

I didn't target him at all.
$13 was too cheap not to put in a bid in at though.

this article was written the end of June so his adp is off. He's actually dropped some over the past couple weeks. He's currently at 48 according to fffcalulator. Still not low enough for me.

[hailtopitt]

^^ yea i would've pegged him somewhere in the 60's or 70's

[Keyz]

still awaiting the reasoning behind 4 WRs...

[Nvetta]

almost all of my teams so far have been half full of wrs. in a ppr its best to go wr in the flex. good to have options to play matchups.

[thebridge15]

big fan of devonta freeman

cooks is going to be drafted too high in pretty much every league

[dmbredsox36]

First real draft last night - 10 team, .5 ppr, 6th pick. Not crazy with how the board fell (Bryant/Marshall were the last 2 picks before my 2nd rd pick) but we'll have to see. Going to hope for some health and breakouts. Nothing can get you prepped for the shenanigans that your friends might pull as far as drafting strategies, definitely have to adjust at times.

QB: Ryan (9)
RB: Forte (1), Murray (2), Gore (6), Sankey (8), Pierce (11), Bradshaw (15)
WR: Nelson (3), Brown (4), Cruz (5), Patterson (7), Evans (12)
TE: Bennett (10), Kelce (14)
D: Patriots (13)

[aicdmb]

Antonio Brown is a great 4th rd pick
Love that guy
Team isnt stacked, but isnt bad either

[smokew11]

i need to pick up to 4 keepers...help me out from this list:

Aaron Rodgers
AP
Josh Gordon
Alshon Jefferey
Frank Gore

Smokes, this is prob the easiest question of the year...
Keep Rodgers, AP, and Jefferey.....
I guess you could keep Gore if its a late rd pick

[smokew11]

thats what im leaning towards

fucking Josh Gordon, such an idiot

[aicdmb]

Yup
So much wasted talent

Edit : Rodgers, AP, and Jeffery are all legit 1-3 rounders

Yeah, kind of how I'm feeling. A mid/late round TE run (the second TE for some guys) didn't help as I lost out on Rudolph, Reed and Ertz. Just going to hope for some rebounds (Cruz) and breakouts (Patterson, Sankey).

I like Reed better than the others
But Bennett is just as good as Rudolph and Ertz IMO
And even if not as good, the difference isnt that big at all
Teams will have to worry about Marshall, Jeff and Forte...Bennett will get his

I'm assuming Shady went before Jamaal, but who was the other? Just curious.
