View media item 548682

do you guys have any recommendations on who i should start or bench?

10 team league, ppr
 
We use a flex, too.. Guess I should've mentioned that. Does that change how you think I should attack this?
 
he is only a sleeper to the dead.

lol true.
 
I'm not a fan of making preseason trades. You never know how a season is going to play out. Those 2 guys you traded for that 1 stud might end up both performing better than him. Of course it can work the other way, but I still don't like doing trades until at least week 4.

i get what your saying in a way but i want the stud. i want the best player in the trade. 2 for 1 for the better player all day long.  now can the player get hurt and you get screwed...hell ya but knowing you made the right " play " in the trade is ok.  another thing is if you wait to week 4 then alot of trades CAN'T  happen because of bye weeks. when bye weeks come it is harder to trade.

you talking bout giovanni bernard ? if he is not drafted in your league you got to be playing in a pretty lame league.  he MUST be drafted. pick him up in a minute.  not a big law firm guy and gio can be used in bye weeks and injury weeks to your starting rb's. 
 
I just drafted in my work league. Things to note:

-The guy who had the #1 pick was on Autopick from the jump

-Three QBs were taken in round 1. Even with it being 6 point passing TDs thats still
mean.gif


-Three Falcons were taken in round one
mean.gif


-Seven Qbs by the end of round two
mean.gif


-Colin Kaepernick in round two
mean.gif


-Jimmy Graham in round two

-Defense in round four

-Four defenses by round six

And these people put their money into this...... But heres what my team is looking like.

I dont think I did well enough with all the nonsense that was going on around me but I feel that I can win with what I have.

There was one guy who seemed to know what he was doing and took a sleeper of mine and had it planned but other than that just random aimless picks and homerism.

Thoughts?
 
Barring injuries and my personal disdain for Jermaine Gresham, that's a solid starting unit. Promising duo of RB's, good stable of WR's. You did well to ensure you handcuffed Arian.

That's the positives...the negatives are having BOTH starting WR's from TB. It's going to be frustrating picking which one to start. Your RB depth may be an issue as the season progresses and lastly, I do feel you're weak at TE although I like Brandon Myers with Eli throwing him the ball.

You will need to hawk that waiver wire with this team.
 
Mike Williams was my 10th rounder. Didn't want to take him but he was there so late it just felt like a steal. Probably going to use him for trade bait down the road to get another serviceable back. If I don't then my week 8 game will be an auto loss :lol

I agree with the TE thing, I had Gronk at pick 7 and I didn't get him so after that it was Jordan Cameron who I didn't get either so I ignored it. I don't ever pay attention to TE anymore, I used to and it never worked in my favor. Myers was my other sleeper TE though so I'm glad I got him.

Like your team a lot. I would move Vereen to the flex spot. I always play RB in the flex. Team has a lot of potential and don't worry about the mistakes others made. Seems like you capitalize on their mistakes and landed some good players because of it.
 
I have Owen Daniels, Jermichael Finley, and Zach Sudfeld

I really like Sudfeld, so im looking to trade either Finley or Daniels.

Whats the trade value for both?
You'd have to package them both to get anything worthwhile out of it which would be hard to do cause who needs two TEs. You'll definitely have an easier time moving Daniels than Finley, I picked him up in almost all my leagues last year, and while he didnt put up numbers that people wowed at, he did what I needed him to do since I dont take TEs until late anyways. Jermichael Finely is a bum

, Fantasy has made me hate him.

So do I actually, I'm a firm believer in RBs win fantasy. I dont go WR at the flex usually unless I have someone on bye or the matchup is too good to pass up. IDK why my smileys are quoting like that.

if its a ppr league it is foolish to use a rb as a flex unless it is a sproles or bush type player. i would keep shorts there. that being said , can vereen outscore shorts week 1. sure , but the right play is shorts as flex.
 
At my draft this past weekend, 16 team league, Dez went number 1, defense was taken in the 3rd round, Graham in round 1, and kicker in 7th. Who do you think will be the week 1 starter in Pitt?

you really like sudfeld ? have you really seen him play ? or are you listining to the hype ? he is an undrafted rookie. be carefull !! i too like what i see in him and have drafted him in very late rounds. it's funny cause i also have daniels on the same team.  never , never would i trade daniels. first give it 2 or 3 games to really see what sudfeld is. with daniels you have a proven steady guy , not great but very steady. if you trade anyone it should be stonefingers finley. remember also that when gronk comes back sudfeld glory mite run out too. 
 
Just finished one draft. 12 man league, .5 ppr.

WRs could be better and I wanted Stafford.

QB: Matt Ryan
RB: Matt Forte, Alfred Morris, DeMarco Murray, Andre Brown, Pierre Thomas, Christine Michael
WR: Dwayne Bowe, Antonio Brown, Vincent Brown, Greg Jennings, Kendall Wright
TE: Jordan Cameron
PK: Dan Bailey
TD: Cincinnati Bengals

I think I might drop Pierre Thomas for a QB2.

that is what happens in some of these leagues. people dont care like most of us do.  

as far as pitt rb sat game will tell the story if it is rbc or just redman. either way pitt is in trouble. the off line sucks. big ben if he stays healthy will have to carry this team. if the bengals do not win this division this year then they never will. it is ripe for the taking for them.

I assumed you drafted towards the end of the round right? you probably could have gotten one of the top WRs (Green, Marshall, Dez) especially since you're in a PPR league. I'm not too high on any of those receivers you got.
