Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

[AMDZen]

Yes. Here are the draft requirements in my league:

2 Quarterbacks
3 Running Backs
3 Wide Receivers
2 Tight Ends
2 Kickers
2 Team Defense/Special teams
1 Flex Player (must be 15th pick)

That's pretty retarded

 

[eits]

Yeah, 4-8 in a 12 man is tough. David Wilson could end up being a pretty good pick. You're looking good on RB, but weak on WR. Why'd you take 2 of the top 3 defenses?

Trade bait or so I wouldn't have to drop anyone on a buy week.

 

[MisterJackson]

He was a STUD in Arizona for a few years opposite Fitzgerald. He had a couple 1000+ yard and nearly 10TD seasons there. He's not that guy anymore though. He was never a fast guy, just fearless and really freaking strong.

Would you drop Decker for Boldin? And thanks for the info.

Decker has Manning throwing to him. I gotta go with that combo.

Had an interesting draft last night. Noticed when preparing to enter the scoring data to generate a draft list that this year the league added one point ppr. So after doing several pyonir drafts where it was almost nothing but RBs in the top 50, was odd seeing so many WRs at the top. So in my first 5 picks, four of them are wideouts, with calvin, julio, and ftz being my first 3 and I was picking 8th of 12. The other guys all were balls to the wall drafting RBs. And if I recall, I even snagged gronk. Only 1 dedicated RB spot, with numerous flex and I think my first back taken was Lacy. Hopefully that doesn't hurt later.

 

[slayer202]

only 1 rb spot? wow. how many Wrs?

Bad idea ...

Maybe you can use a WR to snag a good RB ...

 

[lupi]

2 wr and 3 flex.

At least I got the yahoo A grade

 

[dougp]

Where the heck do you see your yahoo draft grade?

 

[lupi]

I'm playing for the PPR angle. Amendola was like my fifth or 6th pick, and I also got the rookie patriot WR that tom has a boner for.

One of the other guys picked almost all RBs, so much that he is short at least one starting position at the close of the draft.

 

[MetalMat]

We set up a work league just for fun but our commissioner set the league up as the worst I have ever seen. Not only is he forcing an autodraft but the roster limits are terrible (4 RB & WR max, rest are 2 max) and there are all sorts of wacky scoring settings.

Anyways has anyone ever autodrafted in ESPN? You can set each round to either take the best player available or a specific position. If I set the last round at a kicker will it wait till then to draft a kicker or will it draft one earlier?

 

[leeland]

Total crapshoot. I have little faith in Spiller staying healthy over the course of the season. He does not have the body of an every down back. Charles is a major health risk as well and massively wild scorer. Some weeks he'll have 2 points. Other weeks 20. There is no consistency. Martin was also a wild scorer but started settling in towards the end of the season and he has uncontested touches. McCoy's use is unknown at this point although all signs point to more rushing touches for him.

My gut leans toward Martin as the most upside for age, health and known commodity as an uncontested RB. No goaline hawking by other RB's, excellent Oline in front of him, and he's great out of the backfield for receptions. Of course I have him in two different leagues so that means he'll have a high ankle sprain in week three and be out for 2 months.

lol on the injury statement I plan on going Martin...thanks for the validation.

I "won" our auction draft apparently.

Pretty sure I wanna drop Andre Brown, he'll be out till at least week 10 and I'll probably be able to pick him back up around 8-9 without anyone noticing.

Should I pick up Isaac Redman, Danny Woodhead, or maybe pick up Carson Palmer as a backup QB? I'm actually pretty solid on RB's and WR's so losing Brown isn't terrible.

 

[slayer202]

definitely drop him. I'd go woodhead if it's ppr. redman is gonna be splitting time, and bell will be back soonish. honestly neither is a good option if you're not going to be playing them in any reasonable scenario. go for an upside guy

 

[Crono]

Does this look like a fair trade proposal?

Team 1: Alfred Morris and T.Y. Hilton
for
Team 2: A.J. Green and Tony Romo

Team 1 is weak at QB with only Alex Smith, and has Dez Bryant for WR1 (no other WRs of note past that).

Team 2 is weak at RB and has Aaron Rodgers as main QB. Has Frank Gore and Deangelo Williams as RBs. This is a league with a flex spot that allows a QB to be played. Fair trade overall?

If you are content with your WR and RB depth then I would take a gamble on a sleeper and drop Brown. You pretty much know what you will get from Redman, a low ceiling. Woodhead is essentially a poor mans Sproles/Bush, even in the best case scenario I don't see him being better than a #3 RB in a ppr league.

Someone like Vincent Brown could be a shot in the dark. You may also want to look at the Seattle backfield with Robert Turbin or rookie Christine Michael.

I'd go with Palmer if you need a backup, but it comes down to how good your RBs are and who else is available on waiver wire.

team 2 is giving up way too much. flex spot that allows QB = you should be playing a QB. Morris is pretty close to AJ Green in value. So a top 12 QB that is a must start for ty hilton?

Team 1 is getting a much better deal in a QB flex league unless his running back depth is way off the deep end after Alfred Morris. How in the world did Team 1 end up with Alex Smith as its lone QB?

Auction keeper league. I held off on QB bids until it was too late, and then I realized the flex spot was a QB one, too.

team 2 is giving up way too much. flex spot that allows QB = you should be playing a QB. Morris is pretty close to AJ Green in value. So a top 12 QB that is a must start for ty hilton?

Fair assessment. Personally I think T.Y. Hilton will have a A.J. Green-like breakout season this year (physically, they are polar opposites), but the other person might not see it that way.

 

[spidey07]

I got GRONK in the fifth round. This team should be rocking.play to win. Play for the upside.

 

[leeland]

In a draft right now, I got Graham early...if Gronk falls to me in the end of the 5th should I grab him?

Have a T/W/RB flex spot I could play him.

2 rb's and 2 wr's start as well.

I have Cruz / Morris and Sproles

It is a full point PPR

 

[crownjules]

Had a pretty successful draft I think:

Alfred Morris, RB (10)
Steven Jackson, RB (15)
Vincent Jackson, WR (34)
Wes Welker, WR (39)
Antonio Brown, WR (58)
DeAngelo Williams, RB (63)
Andrew Luck, QB (82)
Owen Daniels, TE (87)
Josh Gordon, WR (106)
Knowshon Moreno, RB (111)
Kenbrell Thompkins, WR (130)
Andy Dalton, QB (135)
Bilial Powell, RB (154)
Brian Hartline, WR (159)
Randy Bullock, K (178)
Dolphins, D/ST (183)
