OFFICIAL 2014 FANTASY FOOTBALL THREAD

[filthyrich]

Had the 2nd pick. Went Charles, brown and Thomas. Grabbed walker in the 4th. Reached for Julius and rb2 is weak because of it

 

[buc em]

Just finished my draft for my big money league. 12 team PPR (.5 pts per catch)

QB - Nick Foles, Tony Romo
RB - LeSean McCoy, Reggie Bush, Chris Johnson, Fred Jackson, Chris Polk
WR - Demaryius Thomas, Randall Cobb, Mike Evans, Danny Amendola, Cecil Shorts
TE - Jordan Cameron, Ladarius Green
Defense - Browns D/ST
Kicker - Gostkowski

Thoughts?

Also, after I drafted Cecil Shorts in the 13th round one person picked and one was in the middle of picking Russell Wilson (I already had two qbs) and then I asked the commissioner if it was alright if I changed my pick. He asked me who I wanted to change it to and I asked him again if it was alright to change it before i let him know who it was. He said it was alright so I told him Josh Gordon....he put it on the board and everybody proceeded to go livid until the commish removed his name from the board completely and said Josh Gordon is now off limits for the entire season to the whole league I'm still pissed right now.

Any other opinions?

I keep having this feeling like RG3 will bounce back this year, I hope he does my season depends on it. I have Jay Cutler as a backup just in case.

Where'd you get Foles/Romo? Might have stuck with one and swiped someone else in the later rounds for the bye week. Unless you plan on swinging one of em for a back/WR. Depth is just an issue IMO. Bush will get you the .5 PPR value but no goal line TD's and I personally think he loses the job sooner rather than later. You know what it is with CJ. I think Jackson might be riding the pine in a few weeks as well. Like the Polk handcuff. WR, it's a big drop from Cobb to the other 3 but you got two top tier.

 

[buc em]

I got Foles in the 8th and Romo in the 11th. Only other qb left in the top 15 at that point was Russell Wilson who ended up going two picks after that.

I debated taking Vereen instead of Chris Johnson but I thought I was going to get him on the way back, and he got taken one spot before me...

 

[proshares]

That blows

I mean, it's kinda like a lot of teams in a 12 teamer...you need a fair amount of luck and even more health. But things break right that could be a top team. Foles, DT, Cobb and McCoy is definitely enough to carry you week to week.

 

[buc em]

I still think Bush and Chris Johnson will do work in PPR. Jordan Cameron is going to get ALLLLL the targets in Cleveland as well.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This would be a pretty ideal team for me, #3 pick in a 12 team PPR league, 2 RB, 2 WR 1 FLEX (I'll have the #3 pick in my draft this weekend). Played around with draft simulations last night, pretty good way to entertain yourself tbh

I would love to have Cameron as my TE

Buc, if you could have got Johnson and Vereen that would have been a nice combo cuz I don't trust Johnson all that much

Just drafted another ten teamer pro league. This time for 50. doing another tomorrow too... Hated my first team too much lol so this one I went WR x2 hoping a back would fall. Stacy did this go round. Had a late pick again. Like it don't love it. Again 10 teams no flex. Gunna go with rb x 2 2maro

1. Demaryius
2. AJ. Green
3. Z. Stacy
4. R. jennings
5. Crabtree
6. Toby G
7. J Cameron
8. Romo
9. Rivers
10. R Randle
11. M Wheaton
12. J Gordon
13. A Williams

Incidently this team gotta B grade same as my Brees /Jimmy team. Well see if better backs and worse wideouts gets me an A

 

[atransta]

10 man PPR league. How do you think I did? I thought I did well but wanted to get an opinion from others. I had the 3rd pick.

Which QB should I start Cutler or Ryan? Or should I play them based on matchups?

 

[stick]

^ Team is stacked. Charles/Murray, Marshall/Garcon in a PPR? Receptions galore for all of them. Reed and Cruz will eat this season too. One thing I'm a little leary about is having both Garcon/Reed, but I'm nitpicking anyway. And then Roddy/Vereen/Wright on your bench? Your ticket to the chip may already be punched. The only thing I'm not a fan of is that you drafted 2 QBs. In a 10 team league theres no need to have 2 imo. Always solid guys on the waiver wire. But again I'm nitpicking. You already have pretty good depth so drafting someone else instead of Cutler wouldn't have made too big a difference.

To answer your question, I'm high on both Ryan and Cutler this season, but if I had to pick one to start off the bat, I'd go with Ryan. Then see how it plays out during the season.

jewseejay I like that team better than your first one, but your RB depth scares me. Not as scary as if you needed to start a Flex, but still a little scary . Also wouldn't have drafted 2 QBs, but otherwise very solid imo. DT/Green is beastly. Gerhart may end up being a steal in the 6th round.

 

[atransta]

Repped! Appreciate the review my dude. Yeah I'm a little worried about Reed and Garcon as well. I drafted another QB just incase someone got hurt but I screwed up anyways because both Ryan and Cutler have the same bye weeks

. I wanted to draft Dalton but totally forgot because I wasn't paying attention and was drinking a bit but he ended going as the very last pick of the draft.

 

[cubanref]

Heres my team....its a keeper league and I kept Gio for my 3rd pick and Rashad was my 14th round pick. Had the 7th pick and went with Jimmy in the first and AJ in the second, Brady in the 4th and Lamar in the 5th. Think I did ok but I need some help at the WR position for sure

edit- This was a live draft but I'm on vacation and it was 3am ....had to do it via skype since its my big money league

 

[rook]

leveon bell admitting blount will get goalline carries this year scared me off. no way im taking him first round when he still is a mystery

Is Jordan Matthews worth a pickup right now? I'd be dropping Chris Polk or Cecil Shorts for him. I have Foles and McCoy on my team.

I'd still pick Matthews up. Rather have him over Shorts.

Are we handcuffing Gio with Jeremy Hill?

 

[rook]

alot of people sleeping on Malcom Floyd btw. ALOT

 

[N41D]

Are we handcuffing Gio with Jeremy Hill?

I didn't, but I am trying to work out if I should drop one of Christine Michael, Terrence West, or a receiver to do so... 

 

[lovehateself]

why are so many 10 team leagues drafting a second QB? 

i can see it in a 12 team if dudes waited on QB, but man a 10 team is too shallow to be rostering a second qb. 

Rivers went undrafted last year and was basically a top 10 qb...Palmer had a good year too

Ray Rice going as a flex/3rd RB...what are your guys thoughts? whos the better value in a ppr? Miller, Bell, Rice, sankey, gore, cj2k

 

[lovehateself]

alot of people sleeping on Malcom Floyd btw. ALOT

this. 

rivers only real deep threat, i think he'll be td dependent though

 

[ballinsam23]

1. Leveon Bell + Roddy White for Julio and Cruz
2. Murray + Amendola for Julio and Cruz

My team....

Almost everybody in my league starts the year with two, for whatever reason... It's dumb. But I always end up forced to choose from Andy Dalton or Big Ben or some garbage off waivers for a week. 

 

[stick]

I didn't, but I am trying to work out if I should drop one of Christine Michael, Terrence West, or a receiver to do so... 

That's kinda tough. I'd hold onto West, but Michael has crazy upside if Lynch were to go down. I think I'd rather have the handcuff for a guy that I own rather than someone else's though. Who are the receivers you're thinking about dropping?

Scoring format? I think regardless, I'd do trade #1. I'd also drop Eli Manning and Ravens D and pick up some RBs/WRs off waivers.
