Fantasy Football: Questions/Discussion

[Newt]

It's going to be awesome next week when all of you start Vereen, only for him to get 8 touches and Boldin gets 20.

Oh no, Vereen won't crack my line up for a few weeks, he blew his fantasy wad last night.

 

[Newt]

Well, I got the win last night, LeVeon Bell saved me. No thanks to all you Alfred Morris huggers.

Got offered Alfred Morris and next years 1st for Gio Bernard in a league I'm 7-1 in, what yall think?

I believe I take that trade.

Is it a keeper league or will you end up with 2 1sts in drafting a fresh team?

12 teams, 4 keepers a piece. I'd usually take something like this pretty quickly as I love to hoard extra picks but just worried about Morris production rest of the year

edit: Also have Rodgers, Lacy, Bush, Keenan Allen, TWill, Edelman, Roddy so not a given would even keep Morris

I wouldn't do it. With that amount of keepers, it's essentially a 5th round pick in a normal draft. Plus, Gio is good enough to be one of your keepers and Morris won't be. You'll just weaken your team this year and next.

Yeah, having that info I wouldn't do it either.

I was offer Lesean McCoy for Randall Cobb just now. Cobb has been a beast this year but its hard to pass up on McCoy. What do you think?

Standard league or PPR? Who are your other RBs and WRs?

PPR

Right now I have ;

Le'Veon Bell
Alfred Morris
Shane Vereen
Ben Tate
Joique Bell

Pierre Garcon
TY Hilton
Terrence Williams
Randall Cobb
Golden Tate
Josh Gordon
Torry Smith

I don't think I'd do it. You have a legit stud #1 PPR RB in Bell and a good enough #2 in Morris, though he gives you nothing in the passing game. You have enough other options to plug in if need be. McCoy hasn't been as good this year and Sproles is coming back soon.

I don't like that WR group without Cobb. Tate is going to lose a lot of value after the Lions bye this week because Megatron is coming back. Hilton has been really good. I don't necessarily trust Garcon or Williams week to week, though I'd think RGIII will help Garcon some.

The argument for making the move would be that the Eagles upcoming schedule looks nice for McCoy and if you have a ton of faith that Josh Gordon is going to put up WR1 numbers the last few weeks of the season.

It's a tough call. I wouldn't blame you if you did it, but I think I'd probably lean against it.

Let's play a little game of Who would you play?

Pick 2

Percy Harvin
Allen Robinson
Andre Holmes
Trent Richardson


Harvin, Holmes, and Robinson have horrible matchups. Richardson has a good matchup but I already play Bradshaw and Richardson sucks. Its a PPR league so just as long as I get targets I should be OK. Going to need Luck and Bradshaw to carry me yet again.

I would pick Robinson for sure. He's developed a quick rapport with Bortles and he looks for him on almost every 3rd down. The other would probably be Richardson but I wouldn't feel confident in him.

I would also go Robinson & TRich. No one feels good about starting TRich but he will get touches & is the goal line guy. I have start him in a PPR league this week too, due to bye weeks/injuries. He's not very good, but with the work he gets you could do worse in a week where 6 teams are on bye.

I would actually amend my picks to Robinson and Holmes now. I heard on the Fantasy Focus podcast earlier that he is a top 10 fantasy WR since week 4 when Rod Streeter got injured. Ride the hot hand.

The only issue is that they play Seattle. Should be the last of my tough choices as I get Calvin back next week and Gordon after that.

Yea I have Holmes in a couple leagues and sitting him this week, not only do they play in Seattle but its supposed to be raining there too

 

[Rev]

Last weeks choice for the final spot paid off for me. I went with Harvin instead of Richardson (Duece and ED- I did take your advice with Robinson) and Harvin scored 20 points for me.


I can breathe a bit easier (hopefully) with Megatron coming back and Gordon right around the corner.

Just a heads up... I'm starting Gore this week. Adjust your lineup accordingly.
