Great minds think alike. I got Gurley at #3 (passed on Julio as I don't trust the Falcons at all this year), and then went WR, WR, RB, WR, RB, QB. I used the last two rounds to get my defense and kicker, which I don't think is even necessary if it's 10 or less teams.
that's what i was thinking too. i don't think the skins would give jones a heavy workload coming off that injury.
thanks for the advice people, Im taking notes in that. I got RBs - David Johnson - Terrance west - spencer ware - arian foster - darren sproles and WRs: - ty hilton - donte moncrief - mike evans - emmanuel sanders - will fuller maybe I got covered the WRs more than the RBs, but having the top rated WR is very interesting.
I guess you're saying it's not PPR then I'd much rather start D Johnson, AP, Hilton, Evans, Sanders...than D Johnson, Foster, A Brown, Hilton, Evans--knowing that if Foster goes down, you have to turn to Ware (assuming Charles is back after a game or 3). If you're starting a flex in addition to 2 RB/3 WR, then even moreso AP. IMO, you don't have the depth to make that move, unless you follow it up by moving Hilton or Evans for a RB.
Advise on the flex (W/R/T) position in a 12 player standard league? I am starting Lamar Miller and Melvin Gordon as RBs and Keenan Allen and Ty Hilton as WRs. My choices for WRT are Locket (vs MIA), Shephard (vs DAL), Wheaton (vs WAS), Allen (vs DET), Ivory (vs GB), or Blount (vs AZ?). I am leaning Lockett or Wheaton. All advice appreciated. Thanks in advance!
What does not trusting the Falcons this year even mean really? They'll be bad? Being bad is often a good thing for fantasy. Not trusting Julio Jones? That's just... weird.
interesting, not sure what that means as far as trust. This is fantasy fball. An elite WR coming off of a 1800 yrd season at only 27 yrs old with a qb who is more than willing to pepper him with targets all game long.
In fantasy terms negative game flow is both a help and a hindrance. Defenses understand the team trailing has to throw. Pass catchers receive more targets, but QBs become less efficient meaning less completions and higher risk for turnovers. Julio and Antonio Brown are really the only true "volume" WRs in fantasy which makes them the most valuable. Regardless of matchup and game flow they will receive a bulk load of targets.
Ok trying to decide on my flex position. Standard rules. Ryan Mathews vs Cleve - Cleve always sucks but so does Philly and idk how good cleves run defense may or may not be this year but with Philly starting wentz I can see a heavy workload. Hurns vs GB - I can see this being a shootout with jax teying to come back late and throwing alot and I also have Robinson starting Wheaton vs was - not sure how to value this matchup yet K. Benjamin vs den - don't trust him going against Denver's d Abdullah vs indy - Indy has crappy run defense but Detroit sucks so are they going to play from behind, limiting touches? Right now I'm leaning Mathews but any iinput would be appreciated and repped (if I don't have to spread first;looking at you Moe). Thanks in advance.
Cleveland's run defense is still suspect. The game flow suggests 20+ touches with Mathews. You won't find a much better opening script with a rookie QB in his first game against a team who may be improved offensively but is still not a good defensive unit. Start Mathews with confidence.
I'm being offered Charles Sims, Ameer Abdullah and Jordan Matthews for Josh Gordon. I'm torn - thoughts?
I feel like Sims, Abdullah, AND Matthews is an overpay. Try to get one better player instead of a group like that.
Depends on if you want to solidify your depth or not. This would be a less risk adverse move, but it also comes with limitations. Neither of those 3 are going to be a top player but all provide solid floors and could turn into solid producers whereas Gordon obviously has a WR1 ceiling.
