How you get Odell AND Dez!?!??!

spent a pretty penny for both

AJ green ($59) went for more than odell ($58 ) so i don't feel too bad about how much i got him for. Dez i think will have a good year if healthy.. might've overpaid for marshawn but i needed a RB1 and he's never had a line like this in seattle

 

[Bert.]

Wondering how much DJ and Bell went for in your auction then

 

[sonoftony]

Thanks for the insight guys, I declined the trade.
. I'll post my team later

Wondering how much DJ and Bell went for in your auction then

Top 4 nominations.. wanted bell or DJ but over $70 was too rich for my blood. i just wanted one of dj/bell/ab/julio/odell/green and managed to grab odell for less than the other 5 players

Is Melvin Gordon worth hand cuffing?? I don't imagine Branden Oliver off an achilles tear dominating in a bell cow type role like Gordon

Yes but I found Melvins last year VERY fluky

Only handcuffs worth owning are Tevin Coleman & Derrick Henry IMO

I would agree with this. McFadden also just because of the zeke situation.

I have my red flags on him too, but the offense and the role he is entrenched in has me committed

Agree with this sentiment. Not a huge fan of handcuffing unless they are players who have immense upside and can step in to a similar role as the incumbent

Extremely fluky. Dude was scoring almost all his damn points on goal line TD's. The OL is still terrible but he's fast enough to break a big one if he actually gets a hole and the offense should be good this year with Keenan back so I think he'll still be good option but not elite option like last year's point total would suggest.

 

[jham15]

Melvin only scored below 13 points in standard twice last year (and that was 8 and 9). To me that's pretty consistent.

I do 100% agree that he will be in for TD regression, but with the upgrades on the line and offensive weapons I think his yardage and ypc will improve.

In the tier he's being drafted, I think he's a safe option because of the offense he is in.

 

[raider5]

I'm the type to value a RB1 over any other position when it comes to fantasy, if you think Gordon can get you 13-15 pts a week in standard leagues you jump on that.

 

[rck3sactown]

Again, my main question was whether or not if owning Melvin Gordon is worth rostering his handcuff as well

I think most of us are aware of the pros and cons when it comes to having Gordon on our teams.

 

[skinzfan85]

8 team PPR. Yahoo gave me a c+ draft rating. Thoughts?

For me it would depend on how deep your league is and who'd you be dropping. 12 man or higher, I would probably.

He's not a must own, but if you are dropping someone you're not high on, Oliver would be very beneficial in the case of melvin going down. You'd still have a solid rb2 to put in his place.

 

[Mr.Guy]

Would you guys go RB RB RB in a 16 team league or WR WR WR ?

Never use ESPN rankings.

If you must refer to rankings, go to fantasypros and you can sort by expert.

 

[diewitsjames]

10 team standard league. i had 9th pick so i went zero-rb and did not take an RB til 7th rd unfortunately so my RB's are definitely shaky. what do you guys think?

 

[HEATHEN]

Add Darren McFadden, Quizz Rodgers and Jamaal Charles to that short list.

Personally if I took Ty Montgomery, I'd have Jamaal Williams on my bench.

Also speaking today Reid said the KC backfield will start a RBBC, so Charcandrick West is worth a flier.

 

[HEATHEN]

Would heads be down for a 12-14 team Niketalk league with a $100-$200 buy in?

I'm thinking ESPN (or Yahoo depending on people's preference).

QB/RB/RB/WR/WR/WR/TE/FLEX/K/D-ST

7 bench slots and an IR slot.

.5 PPR, Fractional scoring, rolling waivers.

Probably too late to get something started but lmk if y'all are down and I'll fire up a league.

 

[Cryptomoon]

FOR ALL MY EZEKIEL OWNERS!!!!! .....I'm a bell/Ezekiel/mccaffrey owner...... if no decision is made by 4pm tomorrow. Ezekiel will be a go for week one!!!!!!!! LETS GO
