My 12th man ppr. 8th pick, 3wr 2rb 1te and flex

Went something close to this...
1. Julio
2. forte
3. cooks

Elingtion; cj spiller, decker. Cruz. Flacco. Sproles . John brown. Sankey. Kyle rudolph; Tyler effirt. Crabtree.

What u guys think... Sankey, decker, Flacco weren't on my list but I had eyes on other ppl but we're taken.
 
Just drafted the following team in my 16 player league (Standard Scoring):

QB: Colin Kaepernick, Robert Griffin III
RB: Le'Veon Bell, Frank Gore, Chris Ivory
WR: Jordan Matthews, Jeremy Maclin, Jarvis Landry, Steve Smith, Terrance Williams, Victor Cruz, Kenny Britt, Mohamed Sanu
K: Matt Bryant
D/ST: Detroit Lions

What do you guys think?
 
Had my first of 3 drafts. This one was with IRL friends. 10 team PPR, 6pt passing TDs, roster limits of 4 for RB and WR.

QBs: Newton, Rivers
RBs: Jamaal Charles, Alfred Morris, Latavius Murray, Doug Martin
WRs: Julio Jones, Alshon Jeffery, Sammy Watkins, Brandon Marshall
TEs: Jordan Cameron, Heath Miller
K: Brandon McManus, Ryan Succop
DST: Baltimore, Carolina

Thoughts?
 
OK, 16 man PPR.

My plan is to draft these positions per round:
1) RB
2) RB
3) WR
4) WR
5) WR/RB/TE (probably getting a WR or RB)
6) QB
7) QB (unless truely nothing good is left)
8) Def
9) K
10) TE

Each weeks starting lineup is as the above states for positions except for the (7) QB. I plan to get two decent WBs and pick the best one on any given week.

I'm assuming that my league is going to freak out over TEs. IMO: If you don't get one of the top 3 in the league, it doesn't matter anyway.

So with 10 carries so far T-Rich is all the way up to 23 yards. Anyone brave enough to bet the over on whether his rush yards total exceeds his roster number (33) before he gets cut by the Raiders?

Trent Richardson managed zero yards on three carries in his last game. Giving him a grand total of 1.77 YPC in the pre-season. Gotta be the absolute worst thing to happen to dynasty league owners in the last decade.
 
I've been thinking of trying out grapolo as qb for first couple weeks and dropping Flacco. Still many qb like plamer, culter, and people on part with Flacco.

your RBs are very very good. WR is kindof a mixed bag, but should be okay.

Your QBs..... um... LOL

Lol. That's what I was thinking also. I'm hoping someone else in the league drops a QB and I can pick them up or get a trade going. I'm hoping my RBs and WRs carry me and my QB does not do too much damage to me.

There's no way you can predetermine what position you are going to draft each round. You have to adapt to what everyone else is doing. Easy example: if you're picking at #16 and for some crazy reason Antonio Brown is available, you'd be an idiot to follow your "plan" of drafting a RB in Round One.

Also, drafting a Defense and Kicker in rounds 8 and 9 is generally a terrible idea. IMO, there is very little predictability in those two positions and there is very little separation in points in that position, so there's very little reason to draft either of those positions early. If you draft DST/K last and play matchups throughout the season (dropping and picking up the DST/K with the best matchup week-to-week) your average points at that position will be very close to what you'd get from playing the best defense every week.

Last year, everyone in my league started picking QBs in round 1. Totally wrecked my planning. Actually, I did pretty good but I couldn't get a good QB to save my life.
 
Picked up Tavon Austin on FA. This league gives bonus pts for kick and punt return yardage and tds.

Anyone have the inside scoop of how the rams look with foles. I just read the news Fisher wants to get him the ball more
 
Could use some advice on my fantasy auction draft. 12 man, PPR, $200 starting. 1 QB, 2 RB, 3WR, 1 TE, FLEX, D/ST, K.

I've been doing it the past couple of years but I haven't been able to do as much research this year. The advice i'm looking for is as follows:

In my league, there's a huge tendency to over-buy on studs. For example, AP and Megatron would normally go for the mid $60's last season (prior to AP's suspension). What ends up happening is that the top 10 in WR and RB positions get overvalued significantly. If I play the 'value' play I could probably build a solid team of top 20's but I don't think that's a winning strategy. Any thoughts this season on paying extra for studs versus saving on value? Obviously, I'd have to look at players left but I think that only becomes a factor after the first 24 or so picks at which point there might be a few gems left in the draft.

I suspect things might play out differently this year in your league, due to the lack of any clear-cut "studs" this year. Almost everybody at the top has question marks. Le'Veon Bell's 2 game suspension. Adrian Peterson not playing for nearly a year. Jamaal Charles having a very mediocre year last year. Rob Gronkowski playing without Tom Brady for four games. Aaron Rodger's playing without Jordy Nelson. Calvin Johnson possibly in a decline. DeMarco Murray on a new team. All the question marks will probably deflate everybody's value.

We had one of ATOT auction drafts recently and the "studs" were definately in the 50-65 range for sure.

If that's a standard 12-team league with $200 budget, that's insane. Definitely would not hesitate to steal a bunch of second tier guys from owners who blew their load on one "stud."

You know I thought the same. One strategy I've seen used to success in the league is that owners will blow their money on 3-4 studs (usually closer to three) and then save the last $30-40 or so for the much later rounds when everybody's expended their income. There's inevitably some diamonds (top 20-30) still remaining on board but at that point either the remaining teams have spent their money and only have $1 to bid per position or they have that specific position filled up and can't justify paying out in lieu of other needs.

Auction drafts are fun, but IMO, so much more complicated. You have to take into account more factors than just what position you're drafting and who's left on the board.

I think WITH all of the question marks, players that performed last year will be even more highly valued. As far as AP, dude is better than Frank Gore and younger and Gore can still put up decent (if unspectacular) numbers. I'm fairly certain, barring injury, that AP will be at least a top 10 RB this year.
 
16 man PPR.

I need to swap a bench player that I don't want (Cordarrelle Patterson). Granted he does do returns and might get a TD or two from that this year.

Options are:
K Britt - STL
D Moncrief - Ind
C Beasley - Dal
A Hawkins - Cle
J Gordon - Cle
M Sanu - Cin
R Wayne - NE
J Jones - NYG
R Woods - Buf
H Douglas - Ten
A Holmes - Oak

...... and anyone worse that you could think of. I'll mention:
N Washington - Hou
C Brown - Car
J Kearse - Sea

So, what should I do? I'm mostly weak at the WR bench slots for bye weeks.
 
Damn that's deep, I'm assuming Ty Montgomery is taken and someone like Marvin Jones is long gone? Leonard Hankerson there? He would look real nice if Julio and/or Roddy miss time (likely). Of the guys you have listed I guess I would take Moncrief for his potential upside. For some reason I have a strange attachment to Cecil Shorts too (not even sure he's available), think it's possible he could put up ok numbers if that offense is at all capable.
