Fantasy Football Questions/Advice

I'd keep marshall and rodgers if you don't lose anyone. Graham is the only one in the top 24 picks or so. Gronk and thomas don't go until like round 4/5 usually. You can pick up a top tier WR/RB, then gronk again if you want, or even two WR/RB before gronk honestly.



I have a keeper dilemmna myself...

In our keeper league, you can keep up to three players, butyou lose 2 rounds for a keeper (keep a 10th round pick, lose an 8th round pick the following year). This means first and second round picks are never kept and you lose a first round if you keep a third rounder. This means that sleepers and value players are the most kept.

I have AJ green and jimmy graham (losing 6th and 8th round respectively). I can keep the SF defense for a 12th round pick. Arian Foster for a 16th round pick (picked him up off free agency when he was on IR), Josh Gordon for a 5th rounder (trying to find out if he's going to be suspended but can always keep him for next year), or Michael Crabtree for a 15th round pick.

Arian foster is on the Texans who have no offense, but he is a Starting RB and for 16th rounder, that's pretty good.

Josh Gordon led the league last year, but he may or may not be suspended.

Crabtree for a 15th rounder is pretty awesome value

So is the SF DEF at 12. They will be gone by the 7th or 8th round most likely this year, even without Bowman.

Keep Foster for sure. I'm a Texans fan and I can tell you that the new offense will feature him and use him more efficiently than Kubiak. O'Brien plans to use him in the run game obviously, but they also plan to use him more in the passing game, an under utilized ability under Kubiak. If Foster can stay healthy, he will have a great year.

Have you been doing mock drafts? All of the "real" ones I have been doing (12 team) Gronk and Thomas have been going 3/4.

I'm going based off the last few years in the camaro5 leagues. If people want to take gronk and thomas in rounds 3 and 4, that means more WR/RB for me. =)

Oh understood.

[Burn Notice24]

Okay the draft order will be randomized and you don't lose any picks for keepers. Rodgers and Marshall? Or take one of them out for Gronk?

[Burn Notice24]

Nevermind, rules just changed. I will be getting the 2nd over all pick. Same keeper rules as mentioned in the previous post.

Wow good for you! Sounds like you have the makings to do great!

[Burn Notice24]

Alright so I kept Marshall and Rodgers. I will have the 2nd pick, snake draft. Here is the list of players who were kept. Everyone else is still available. Who do you guys think I should go with? Or should I trade back? If so, what should I try to get?

Drew Brees, Andre Ellington
Jamaal Charles, DeMarco Murray
Adrian Peterson, Demaryius Thomas
Rashad Jennings, Larry Fitzgerald
AJ Green, Vernon Davis
Jimmy Graham, Montee Ball
Peyton Manning, Julius Thomas
Brandon Marshall, Aaron Rodgers
Matt Forte, Antonio Brown
Marshawn Lynch, Alshon Jeffrey
Andrew Luck, Calvin Johnson
Cam Newton, LeSean McCoy

Lacy, Foster, Martin, or Bell....

And I'm going to probably be in the minority but with your second round pick if he is still there I would draft Gronk.....it's a gamble but the upside is worth the risk.

What's your league like? Is it 2 RB, 2 WR, and a flex or is it 2 rb, 3 wr, and a flex?

2 RB, 2 WR and a flex I think. I'll ask the commish to double check. What do you think about Dez? Or a trade back? Foster is one of my favorite players (I'm a Texans fan) but he's a big injury risk. Not sure if it's worth it.

I think Dez is a phenomenal physical talent...but you have a #1 WR and with your first pick you need to take a #1 RB. And I think Lacy is going to have an awesome year. Last year was respectable (from a fantasy perspective) even though he missed games and Aaron was hurt.....

Foster is a beast and if the person with the #1 pick takes Lacy I'd gamble on Foster. It's going to be interesting to see....yes he is coming off surgery but the flip side is his body got to rest. Many people questions AP coming off surgery, and well....In addition Tate is gone. I think he gets a big workload, like old times, and IF he stays healthy he will have a big year.

Did my first 12 team mock today. in my money league I pick 3rd overall.

in order of pick:

McCoy - RB - Eagles
Julius Thomas - TE - Broncos
Randall Cobb - WR - Packers
Cam Newton - QB - Panthers
Trent Richardson - RB - Colts
Colston - WR - Saints
Steven Jackson - RB - Falcons
Lamar Miller - RB - Dolphins
Riley Cooper - WR - Eagles
Greg Jennings - WR - Vikings
Justin Hunter - WR - Titans
CJ Anderson - RB - Broncos
Charles Clay - TE - Dolphins
Markus Wheaton - WR - Stealers
Shayne Graham - K - Saints
Ravens D

I realized i'm missing a backup qb. figure I have until week 12 to pick one up. lol

You make good points. I'll probably go with that unless someone offers me a great trade offer.

I like McCoy, Thomas and Cobb. I don't like the Richardson pick. I watched him a lot last year as a Texans fan and his vision is terrible. He seems to run past the hole more often than not. However, a rebound year is very possible for him. I like the Cooper pick too. With Jackson gone, he could get more touches than he got last year. Newton might struggle initially due to the depleted WR corp.
