2017 FANTASY FOOTBALL THREAD VOL. ZERO RB IS STILL KING

[bronconation24]

What do you guys think? I know y'all like that Lamar miller/D'onta foreman handcuff

^ Think you uploaded the wrong pic?

Second standard league, got big hopes for this squad!

QB: Matt Ryan
RB: Melvin Gordon, Jay Ajayi, Rob Kelley, LeGarette Blount, Jeremy Hill
WR: Doug Baldwin, Tyreek Hill, DeSean Jackson, Corey Coleman, Eric Decker
TE: Hunter Henry
K: Adam Vinitieri
DEF: Texans

Definitely can use a upgrade at TE and possibly WR. What you guys think?

Like everything , get a handcuff to henry - wll be very inconsistent due to the whole Gates factor.

QB: Russel Wilson and Kirk Cousins
RB: Gordon, Zeke, Crowell, Hunt
WR: Tyreek HIll, Crabtree, Marvin Jones, Zay Jones, Cooper Cupp
TE: Eifert anf Gates
DEF: Rams
K: Bailey

Took cousins in the 9th just cause as a good backup. Thoughts? WRS are weak - hoping to flip crowell, hunt or even gordon once zeke is back for a wr?

Is this whole 3 WR first three picks just some sort of challenge to yourself? Or a successful strategy? I always go hard with RBs and make playoffs every year.

im thinking that if im not 1st or 2nd pick(Bell and DJ) im going to go full blown zero-rb strategy and go straight for the top WR's/TE's. i dont particularly trust any of the RB's aside from bell and DJ in the 1st and 2nd round and after that there's a major drop off

Anybody want to join a Yahoo 10 team league? It's a $50 Entry League Safe League. Draft Night is Sunday (September 3rd at 7:15 Central Time)

9 people have PAID and we only need 1 more to fill the league. Send me a DM if you're interested?

 

[stick]

trying to go 3WR in first 3 rounds. which would you guys choose as WR3?
alshon jeffries
tyreke hill
allen robinson
sammy watkins
michael crabtree

Definitely Crabtree. If I had to rank them after him it'd probably be Hill, Jeffery, ARob, Watkins.

Is this whole 3 WR first three picks just some sort of challenge to yourself? Or a successful strategy? I always go hard with RBs and make playoffs every year.

It was a highly successful strategy in 2014 and 2015. It's referred to as "Zero RB". It wasn't great last year last year but I'm still willing to go for it this year since it won me so much money in those two previous years .

Some reading on the subject.

Really hoping Murray falters, or at the least Henry is involved way more. I took him fairly late and would love to be able to flex him some weeks if it calls for it.

 

[Fozz]

Picked up Kareem Hunt. I think that was my steal for the draft, since I took him as a handcuff.

Also got Derrick Henry.

Don't think I'll do too much. But we'll see.

 

[mikedalton]

where does everyone think Cam Merediths targets are going? I heard Kendall Wright

 

[streetballer23]

Anymore ESPN NT Drafts? I want one more fantasy team...

 

[buc em]

where does everyone think Cam Merediths targets are going? I heard Kendall Wright

I picked up Kevin White in like the 12th round yesterday. Somebody on that team has to catch some balls and he's by far the most talented and they have the most invested in him.

 

[flyerthandelta]

Got one spot open ...Standard ESPN League $80 entry

 

[macbk]

I think Wright beats out Cruz for that slot job. I may grab him for my bench. Plus I have Jordan Howard who should see even more of a workload now.

So im in an 8 team league, teams are all super stacked. Someone offered me:

my Dalvin Cook, Doug Baldwin, and jamison crowder
for his Mike Evans, and isiah crowell.

The rest of my team is:

RB - Leveon, Ingram, Hunt
WR - Michael Thomas, Tyreke Hill, Devante Parker, and Emmanuel Sanders

Jeremy Hill, Jonathan Stewart, and Rawls are all on the waivers so I can replace some of that depth.

Trade Crowell for a low end WR 1 and see if you can get a guy like Devante Parker as well.

 

[suavamente]

Kinda stumped here at Gordon or Thomas at 11 PPR

 

[Fozz]

Drafted Turnt Cousins because he's in a contract year and I'm not sure if drafting Jimmy Graham was a good option over Jordan Reed.

 

[Black Lotus]

Draft next week

 

[timelessflight]

suppose to have a draft yesterday but due to the flood, we postponed our draft to next Sunday.

 

[macbk]

My friend won't trade with me because we play each other week 1 .

 

[flyerthandelta]

Draft is tomorrow night still need 2 more players...

I would do that in a second

I ended up doing it before he changed his mind lol. Now my team is:

RB - Leveon, Hunt, Ingram, Crowell
WR - Michael Thomas, Tyreke Hill, Devante Parker, Emmanuel Sanders, and Mike Evans

I feel pretty good about it
