Fantasy Football 2019
I'll talk a wildly annoying thread topic and kick it off with a question only 4 people will care about...
In DSafe's fantasy league, who decided not to keep Dalvin Cook? Trying to figure this out. Was it Mountain Goats? They drafted him 2 years ago and must have kept him, as he wasn't drafted last year. Did he really decide to keep Kareem Hunt over Dalvin Cook? Interesting choice.
Also, thanks to Sabo dropping James Connor, my first 4 players will be 2 RB-WR combos from the same team (Steelers and Packers). I really hate doing that, but I can't pass on Conner.

Hold on, I'm trying to see if Jack London ever gets this fire built or not.
Re: Fantasy Football 2019
Yeah, I had to choose two among James Conner, David Johnson and Amari Cooper. I think Johnson is going to go nuts in that Kingsbury offense, and although I equally love and hate Cooper, he showed too much after he joined the Cowboys to not keep him.The Sybian wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2019 10:03 am I'll talk a wildly annoying thread topic and kick it off with a question only 4 people will care about...

Plus, Conner is a walking concussion waiting to happen.

Re: Fantasy Football 2019
That was a really tough choice. I love Cooper and think he is going to be a beast, but 3 top 10 overalls at RB, in a non-PPR league with 2 WR and a flex, I probably would have kept your 3 RBs. I was going to offer you a trade pre-keeper announcement for a RB, but decided to see what you'd do. Keeping 3RB is a weird move, but I've been so fucked at RB every year in this league, I'd overcompensate. I just hope this is the year my first pick gets past week 1 without a season ending injury.Sabo wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2019 10:19 amYeah, I had to choose two among James Conner, David Johnson and Amari Cooper.

Re: Fantasy Football 2019
So in one of my money leagues I took Andrew Luck in the 6th round.
Not happy as my other QB is Jameis Winston.
As soon as I heard the news, I went online to find another QB and there was a trade offer on the table - I send Joe Mixon and get Josh Allen and Devin Funchess in return.
I picked up Matt Stafford off the Free Agent list and diplomatically told the guy he must be insane offering me a QB with such bad stats and a receiver he was no doubt going to cut.
Guy got huffy with me - and cut Funchess a few minutes ago.

Re: Fantasy Football 2019
Eh, I think Winston could put up big numbers this year. I saw the news on Luck as my 13 yo son went to bed, and I didn't have the heart to tell him. He drafted Luck, and I'm not looking forward to him hearing the news in the morning.Pruitt wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2019 10:26 pm So in one of my money leagues I took Andrew Luck in the 6th round.

Re: Fantasy Football 2019
I think my team might really suck.
QB: Brady
RB: Kamara, Mack, L. Murray, Ekeler, a lot of soon to be released backups I picked because I wasn't paying much attention when my turn came up
WR: Diggs, Moore, Sutton, Valdez-Scantling, Gallup, Parker
TE: Kittle
Good luck even trying to decipher which round this all happened in.

Re: Fantasy Football 2019
Hey, any chance one of you would be available for a phone/Google Docs draft this Monday 9/2 at 2pm EST (or make it to Southern Jersey if you're in the area)? I was recently conscripted to commish my long-time 10 year league, and we had a guy drop out relatively recently. $100 buy-in, or $110 if we decide to do an NFL playoff challenge. PM for deets.

Re: Fantasy Football 2019
My main league needs a player (or two) for Sunday night's draft.
PPR/snake. Ryan's in it, kind of low stress - $100. Let me know.

Re: Fantasy Football 2019
My draft is Tuesday night and I get back from Boston Monday late. And have a full slate of shit I have to do Tuesday. Which means I’ll draft perfectly.

Re: Fantasy Football 2019
So a hothead in my medium money pool was so pissed off that Brown was going to be suspended that he traded him...
For Demariyus Thomas.
And then Brown landed with the Pats.
Could be the single worst trade I have ever seen.

Re: Fantasy Football 2019
I could very likely lose to a team that started the Dolphins defence.

Re: Fantasy Football 2019
Not my best roster move. I wasn't buying into the Lamar Jackson hype. Clearly I was wrong and underestimated the fact that the Dolphins really are tanking.

Re: Fantasy Football 2019
When trying to decide between three equally awful WR3s, you should probably go with the one who is paired with your QB, even if he's the consensus worst? Especially when you need an explosive day to pull out the win. I'm talking myself into starting Snead over J. Washington or DJ Chark do do do do. I didn't draft WRs very well and my attempts to turn my two top 5 TEs into a more serviceable WR is not being well-received by my notoriously stingy big money league.

Re: Fantasy Football 2019
My team is swimming in mediocrity, and yet I can't figure out who to release so I can get a defense. (I made a late waiver bid and didn't know who to drop then so I just dropped my streaming defense.) Sooo ...
RB: Hynes (Mack handcuff), L. Murray (Kamara handcuff), Chase Edmonds
WR: Diggs, DJ Moore, Gallup, Sutton, Valdes-Scantling, Diontae Johnson, Demarcus Robinson
Show your work.
(I spelled atleast three names wrong before checking myself.)

Re: Fantasy Football 2019
I'd be comfortable dropping V-S, Johnson or Robinson. Robinson had one huge game, then nothing. KC receivers are all capable of a huge game, but there are too many who could blow up any given week, and Watkins and Hill are both going to come back soon. Maybe. V-S and Johnson are a dime a dozen options. The RBs ain't much, but could be serviceable if your starter goes down. Basically, none of them are great options, so it doesn't matter who you drop.

Re: Fantasy Football 2019
I assume everyone is anxiously awaiting the resolution: Traded Mack, Moore, Gallup and Johnson for Smith-Schuster and Cooks. Is it positive value? Perhaps not. Do I now have a roster where I don't have to think about who to start? I do.

Re: Fantasy Football 2019
Every couple of years I give him one more chance. Get angry in the first paragraph. Skim through the next 4 paragraphs seeing when he stops telling unfunny and uninteresting stories, then he "loves" some guy, because consensus has him at WR 24, and Berry has him at WR 19 for the week. I feel like he is trying to copy Fatty McButterpant's style, but is a worse writer and shockingly manages to be even less interesting than King.A_B wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 10:31 amI will find myself clicking on his Love/Hate from time to time, and jeez you couldn't be more on point.

When I'm torn between starting two players, sometimes I will look at Berry's rankings, and choose whichever player Berry prefers.
