OFFICIAL 2016 FANTASY FOOTBALL THREAD

[junglejim]

I have no idea who to start for my flex. I need an you guys input.
S.Diggs, P.Dorsett, T.Sharpe, and lastly D.Funchess [emoji]128065[/emoji]

Those are some ****** options but I would go with Sharpe.

 
DeSean Jackson or C Mike at FLEX? 

I would lean toward CMike

Charles Clay or Jesse James? Not really thrilled with either option tbh

Tough call.  I would say Jesse James. Red skins D is terrible.  Should be a high scoring game.

 

[maldonado]

my squad, btw. 12 team league. PPR


starters this week:
Marcus Mariota - QB (or Tyrod)
DeAndre Hopkins - WR
Dez Bryant - WR
Latavius Murray - RB
Spencer Ware - RB
Jordan Reed - TE
Christine Michael - Flex

Cairo Santos - K
GB Packers - Defense


Bench:
Julian Edelman - WR
Josh Gordon - WR
Duke Johnson Jr. - RB
Devontae Booker - RB
Virgil Green - TE
Tyrod Taylor - QB

Hmmm really debating dak or mariota for this week. Could see giants vs boys as a shootout where as vikings titans a pure run fest. Thoughts?

I think you're spot on about that. I would probably roll with Dak. I can't see Mariota putting up huge numbers against the Vikings defense.

Quick shout out to everyone who participated in the NT Fantasy Draft last night. We actually had a full group participate (for the most part) in the draft.
 

Wrote this quick preview of the match ups this week. Probably won't do this much, I just luckily am having a slow day at work today 

 but I'll try to keep this season as engaging as I can. 

Spoiler: NT Fantasy Football Week 1 Preview

Russell Trillson (@Drigguh) v Team YNS (@nyrican23):

Two early favorites of the NT Fantasy League go head to head in a week 1 battle to establish early supremacy as Russell Trillson battles Team YNS. Team YNS and a trio of dynamic RB's look to pull out a victory over the WR heavy Russel Trillson.

Team Manalo  v Miller Lite (@Jamie Dimon):

Team Manalo comes in with a well balanced running game, as he goes up against Miller Lite and his high scoring offense. Allen Robinson may have a big game for Miller Lite in a tough battle against the GB Defense.

Bend It Like Beckham (@jonwin) v Golden Tate Warriors (@cubanref)

Golden Tate Warriors don't need RB's when they got the hands squad (Gronk, K. Allen, Maclin & Tate). Bend it Like Beckham looks to counter Tate's air attack with two of the best WR's in the league in OBJ, Coooooooooooooooooop and Carson Palmer at QB.

Team Piscitelli (@Nickthestick91) v Gil23 TapTapPull (@gil23)

Dak Prescott & Dez Bryant combo looking to do wonders for Team Piscitelli. Gil23 will have Antonio Brown running up against the newly vamped WSH defense, and lining up against premier (?) CB Josh Norman.

Team Lulgjuraj (@Zyzz) v Raider5 (@Raider5)

Raider5 is hoping to run the ball out of a double tight end set. Never a good look in Fantasy Football

. Lulgjuraj is looking the favorite with a pair of great RB's in the starting spots and the former MVP at QB.

Football back today y'all

 

[atransta]

Only bad thing about football is that on Thursday's I now have a higher chance of skipping the gym as I have to go home from work to watch football and then not get lazy to go lift afterwards.

 

[cpf262]

Jesus, that is really your only two options?  I would lean towards Dak.

Lol pretty much for this week at least based on matchups. Brock, Jimmy G, RT, rgknee, wentz are available but only brocks matchup is sorta favorable. At leadt with dak or mariota they have the scramble option

 

[cpf262]

I think you're spot on about that. I would probably roll with Dak. I can't see Mariota putting up huge numbers against the Vikings defense.

Yeah may just end up doing that. Big risk big reward imo. Oan I got in another league a 2rb/ 3 wr or te and got greg olsen but also have denver d. Im worried theyre going to keep him in at the very least to chip von. My other 2 options ate either sterling shep or steve smith sr.

Steve Smith's first game back will be emotional for him and it's at home. He's my sleeper WR this week. Sterling Shepard is going against the Cowboys crappy defense at home...he'd be a good start too. Their whole attention will be on Beckham. I don't really wanna start anybody off either of these teams tonight. I see it as a defensive game.

 

[eentegra]

bmarsh for jamal charles an even trade? it would help both of us. he needs RB. i need WR.

 

[junglejim]

I would say whoever is getting Marshall is winning.  Everything seems to be up in the air with Charles right now.

 

[eentegra]

watkins for jamal charles is the other one that i proposed. we shall see.

 

[100027]

Is Charles underrated this year?  I can't figure it out.  I know the injury is/was serious, but considering his ceiling where should he be ranked?

 

[macbk]

I assume you're getting Marshall, take it and run.

 

[FreshLeeLA]

Once JC is 100% or close to it, he should return as a premier RB.

As a JC/Ware owner, I rather they don't rush JC back and have him completely healthy for the longevity of the season.

If JC doesn't pan out, I'm screwed...

 

[360wavesandxbox]

Clive Walford or Virgil Green? I think Denver will rely heavily on the TE, but the Oakland matchup is intriguing...

I went to the gym at 6AM for this reason lol

I feel like nobody really knows

That's why I didn't draft him anywhere

If he does return I feel like that backfield is going to be a RBBC

 

[quise2024]

I goofed and drafted Eifert, but no backup TE, who's a deep solid starting TE that I should pick up for now?

Clive Walford, Jared Cook, Jesse James, an Virgil Green are available in my league.

I like Cook or Green.  If it is a standard scoring league then I would lean toward Cook as I think he will get more redzone looks.

I agree Cook or Green as well .. im thinkin of leaning to Green cuz of the new qb in Denver and will be looking for some dump offs. Plus Rodgers has a full arsenal now

[amarano]

feel like James white has a big game fantasy wise out of the backfield for New England.

gonna be a good safety valve for young Jimmy G and those Cards corners will have the Pats WRs and gronk (he def plays) as locked up as possible.

White worth a start? agree/disagree?

 

[onetrust]

Need some input...

Who would y'all start this week? Christine Michaels or Langford? I'm leaning towards Michaels.
