2018 Fantasy Football discussion thread

[soulcougher73]

I havent seen a FF thread yet of any kind. Thought id make one where people can talk about or ask questions/advice from their fellow ATOT'ers.

I'll start. In my work keeper league we keep 1 player and we get them in the same position we drafted them the year prior. So i am keeping Alvin Kamara as my 12th round pick. Yeah me.

Now i also randomly landed the 1st draft spot this year. Of players not kept the top ranked RB is Gurley and top ranked WR is Antonio Brown.

Who would you take? I am leaning Gurley, but then my best work friend who has 2nd pick and kept DeAndre Hopkins would snag AB. That is one scary WR core lol

Keepers Kept:
Alvin Kamara (NO - RB)
DeAndre Hopkins (Hou - WR)
Kareem Hunt (KC - RB) Q
Mark Ingram (NO - RB) SUSP
Le'Veon Bell (Pit - RB)
Leonard Fournette (Jax - RB)
JuJu Smith-Schuster (Pit - WR) Q
Christian McCaffrey (Car - RB)
Ezekiel Elliott (Dal - RB)
Martavis Bryant (Oak - WR)

Send a present to whoever decided to keep Bryant, the dude is worthless for fantasy purposes. Keeping Ingram is a stretch as well considering he's going to be out the first 4 games. And as hard as it is to pass on AB in favor of Gurley I think you need to, it's easier to piece together a reasonable WR1-2 combo with picks in the 2-3 round and above whereas your RB2 might otherwise be someone like Derick Henry as your RB2. I'd much rather have Kamara/Gurley and guys like Larry Fitz/Golden Tate as my WRs than Kamara/AB and then Lamar Miller and Chris Hogan as my RB2 and WR2.

Any interest in a ATOT fantasy football league this year? Would need at least 10 owners to make it worthwhile.

Yeah I’m leaning Gurley for sure for the same reasons. If I wait my RB choices will be crap. I guess I wasn’t wanting him only because I had him last year on this same team lol but WR is a lot deeper and I’ll be on the turn so I can snag 2 back to back.

We used to have some pretty active Fantasy Football players/leagues around here. What happened?

LOL you me and Soulcougher make 3, I think we'll need some more participation than that to make it worthwhile.

I'm already in 3 leagues this year. But if we can get 12 people we could set up an ATOT league. I had my keeper draft last night with work peeps. I think i did pretty well. Kept Kamara as my 12th round pick from previous years waiver pick up and had 1st pick this year randomly which i grabbed Gurley. 10 team, snake draft.

QB - Matthew Stafford
WR - Doug Baldwin
WR - T.Y. Hilton
RB - Todd Gurley II
RB - Alvin Kamara
TE - Delaine Walker
Flex - Devonta Freeman
K - Will Lutz
DEF - Baltimore
BN - Demaryius Thomas
BN - Marshawn Lynch
BN - Corey Davis
BN - Randall Cobb
BN - Duke Johnson Jr.
BN - Philip Rivers

This year has been strange, I haven't done much scouting for the leagues I'm in at all. Going to start that now, but my first draft is tomorrow.. lol

 

[thestrangebrew1]

Did my draft Sunday and here's who I got:

QB - Matthew Stafford
WR - AJ Green
WR - Stefon Diggs
RB - Todd Gurley II
RB - Derrick henry
TE - Delanie Walker
Flex - Brandin Cooks
K - Harrison Butker
DEF - Baltimore
BN -Alfred Morris
BN - Mike Williams
BN - Andy Dalton
BN - George Kittle
BN - Keelan Cole
BN - Atlanta

I'm already questioning if I should start Stafford or Dalton. NYJ def. is better than Indy's and Dalton looked fantastic in pre-season. I'm pretty pumped with my current line-up otherwise though.
