OFFICIAL 2014 FANTASY FOOTBALL THREAD

[lovehateself]

I'll be in a 8 person league and the draft is next Monday. We're doing snake style and so far my mocks are looking scrumptious

you talkin 8 team league....8 teams...what are we talking about here, its an 8 team league

 

[carver]

Right

Basically every team in that league will have a super team.

 

[steebie j]

I didn't wanna say it

 

[rko2004]

Excuse me for being in a 8 team league and wanting to join the conversation.

 

[the blackhand]

I didn't wanna say it

 

[sickickz23]

In my non PPR should I start Fitzgerald or Edelman

 

[jayfiend]

Guess I'm rocking with bell.

Nobody biting on Johnson or Welker. So I will wait it out. They will come crying later.

 

[stick]

Andre is underrated every year. I expect him to cook in PPR formats just like he's done over the past few years.

Anyone interested in joining a 16 team PPR league on ESPN? All NTers. We've got one open spot and the draft is tonight at 9PM Eastern. PM me your email if so.

 

[proshares]

I'm seeing we already have 16, 4 in each division.

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

This 20 team TAN league is going to be hilarious, hope we make it thru the season

 

[steebie j]

I'm down if yall need an extra person

I've had a guy invited since like last week but he still hasn't accepted the invite :\. "Team 5".

This. He's literally slipping past the 4th round which I think is a steal for him especially in PPR formats.

 

[lovehateself]

Nt'ers i know we have numerous nt leagues going on but me and some friends are in need of one more owner for a 12 team ppr league on yahoo. theres a buy in too. pm me for details, draft is next sunday at 7:45 pm. doing the draft at bww, so hopefully someone local to torrance is up for it. anyone is welcomed though

Yep. Definitely grabbing him if he's there for me in the 4th. My boys always overlook him too so he'll probably fall even lower for me in my 2 leagues with them .

Feel free to rate my squad. Oh yeah...the idiot commissioner forced everyone to have 2 kickers and 2 defenses. He's changing that.

 

[venom lyrix]

wait..who'd you draft at #2?

Rodgers. This is a 2 QB lg. You don't take a QB in round 1 you're an idiot and begging to lose.

What you guys think about John Brown?

Should be a solid WR 4, high upside.

A man is only good as his word. I plan to keep my promise to go through this entire thread and provide the best possible advice.

Why? NT as a community has been good to me starting from my childhood. Stimulated my sports knowledge and growth.

Why (did I share my private sleepers and steals list)? Felt I had more to gain than to lose. All the NT leagues I'm in are for bragging rights, not money. Don't mind others nabbing targets from my queue or board. I like uncomfortable predicaments that force me into plans B and C. I find in life as is true of fantasy football, it's better to be adaptable than perfect.

What (can you gain)? I've won leagues, lost leagues. Drafted well and poorly. Reached. Hit on Gronk, Cameron, Faulk, Foster. Missed on Titus Young, Thompkins, etc. Point being, nobody's perfect. I do my best to provide you guys with insightful tips.

How? Spend as much time as possible studying player personnel, peaks and plateaus for players, effect of OC's like Kubiak and Turner.

Buckle up for the ride.

Stills
Boykin
Britt
Wheaton

Who y'all like?

Wheaton

I need to keep two out of this group for a 2keepers league....cant decide on someone else besides Bell..

HELP!
which 2 would you keep out of these???

V.Cruz
T.Brady
Leveon Bell
Ryan Matthews
Edelman


I'm leaning to Bell & Matthews...its a non-PPR league, standard scoring, 10teams.
Cheers!!

Cruz and Bell

what do you guys think about this trade?:

Me: Keenan Allen & Ben Tate

Him: Ray Rice & Victor Cruz or Torrey Smith

Its a PPR league and i am weak at RB

Allen and Cruz are a wash in PPR, Rice is > than Tate

I'd make the trade

Excuse me for being in a 8 team league and wanting to join the conversation.

Feel free to remain active in the fantasy discussion. We're all sharing the thread to give and receive advice. Number of teams doesn't matter, as long as you're having fun with family, friends, coworkers.

In my non PPR should I start Fitzgerald or Edelman

Fitz. Best hands in the NFL. Edelman is a dink and dunk guy. I expect Gronk, Dobson, and LaFell to receive a large majority of Brady's attention. Fitz has 71 or more receptions the last 7 seasons. Reliable and consistent. Dependable, doesn't miss games. Floyd's growth will only help Fitz's production in keeping opposing secondaries honest.

Andre is underrated every year. I expect him to cook in PPR formats just like he's done over the past few years.

Anyone interested in joining a 16 team PPR league on ESPN? All NTers. We've got one open spot and the draft is tonight at 9PM Eastern. PM me your email if so.

Always bothered me Dre doesn't nab TD. Never scored double-digit TD in a season. He's dwindling at the end of his prime and I like Nuk to take a steady jump despite shaky QB play in Houston. Hopkins had the second best hands in the NFL last season after Fitz.

5 Eddie Lacy, GB RB
16 Demaryius Thomas, Den WR
25 Julio Jones, Atl WR
36 Randall Cobb, GB WR
45 Frank Gore, SF RB
56 Ray Rice, Bal RB
65 Tom Brady, NE QB
76 Matt Ryan, Atl QB
85 Maurice Jones-Drew, Oak RB
96 Panthers D/ST D/ST
105 Josh Gordon, Cle WR
116 Martellus Bennett, Chi TE
125 Antonio Gates, SD TE
136 Dan Bailey, Dal K
145 Shayne Graham, NO K
156 Packers D/ST D/ST

Feel free to rate my squad. Oh yeah...the idiot commissioner forced everyone to have 2 kickers and 2 defenses. He's changing that.

Receiver heavy didn't leave you vulnerable at RB. I do like Rice as a RB2, but Gore not so much. Why Brady and Ice? Creates a dilemma who to start each week. Try to package Gore and the QB1 you like less for a more dependable RB2 or fringe RB1. I like the Gordon stash. Again, your WR are sick. I'd be open to moving Cobb if necessary, especially if your league is a standard format.

Once the new rules and positions hit, drop that extra K and DST for RB/WR.

Love it, bro. The rapid growth in fantasy sports as an industry is amazing.

I'll be in a 8 person league and the draft is next Monday. We're doing snake style and so far my mocks are looking scrumptious

that's because a monkey can draft a good team in an 8 team league. Please don't come here and post your roster asking us what we think of your 8 team squad. It's embarrassing, I hope you know that.

the only way the above words are invalid is if you're playing in a 2 qb, 3 rb, 4 wr 1 te 1 flex 1 k 2 def league.

otherwise, you shouldn't be playing in an 8 team league.

 

[champcruthik]

No offense, but I think this team is horrible.  First of all, picking Forte at #3 overall means you passed on a RB who is better than him and less injury prone.  Secondly, you are relying heavily on Foles/Cooper to produce at the level they did last year.  I dont see that happening.  Also, your #2 running back will either be Chris Johnson or someone who is terrible.  Lamar Miller is garbage and Donald Brown is a backup RB. 

Good luck to you sir, but unless this is a 16 team league, I wouldnt count on "making noise."

Foles is due for a sophomoric-like slump. I feel it, even as an Eagles fan.

Miller is going to flourish under Lazor's sytem.

Honestly if you trade Marshall it'll help that RB a lot. Khiry Robinson is pretty much going to share touches with 2 other RB's. Terrence west has potential and honestly will eat into touches with Tate but unless he goes down I don't think he plays a major factor fantasy wise.

If I were to trade Marshall I'm making sure I get a top 10 RB fa sure.

Cadet is going to replace Sproles' role in New Orleans' backfield. I like him over Robinson based on ADP and value.

West is going to supplant Tate as the starter. Good feet and underrated pass-catcher.

Do your guy's league's have a restriction on what position you can take when?

No.

Andre Johnson for Montee ball?

Yes, if you're receiving Ball. Potential RB1 upside if he blocks and doesn't fumble. Dre is a fringe WR2 on his way out the door.

I like your team a lot, man. Only concern is Buffalo's D, although they'll get their share of sacks && do get NYJ twice a year .

Many fantasy experts rank Buffalo's D just inside the top-10. Don't know if I buy into the Bills defensively over the opportunistic Saints or Bucs with Lovie.

you talkin 8 team league....8 teams...what are we talking about here, its an 8 team league

Not everyone is built for 16-team leagues and that's perfectly fine.
