OFFICIAL 2014 FANTASY FOOTBALL THREAD

[lovehateself]

 
No niketalk FF leagues? This is my 2nd year doing FF and may be looking for another one.

mad late bruh, i think 3-4 leagues have been set up already. 

im in a 14 and 16 team. 

 

[mczoot]

Opinions on Fred Jackson for Toby Gerhart or Jeremy Hill?

I'd swap him for Gerhart. Not for Hill tho.

 
i feel like gerhart will slip in my main league, might have to take him if hes there in the 6th or 7th

ive drafted ryan matthews the past 2 seasons cause dudes think he's a major injury risk but he payed dividends last year. 

i already know  my buddies will be going after peyton, rodgers, and brees in the first 2 rounds. 

I thought he would slip in my league as well, but there is always an inevitable running back panic, especially with so many people going WR early this year. 6th/7th would be great value for him, but I highly doubt he'll be available then.

So trade Foles and Desean for Cam and Cordarrele?

Hell yeah. I'm all aboard the Patterson hype train (like most folks on this thread)

Tim Wright traded to the Patriots. New Aaron Hernandez?

(see above)

 
just heard Glazer talk about this on the Jay Mohr show. 

Doug Martin's and Serafin-Jenkins value up? 

Yes to ASJ (go Huskies). And I think Dougie stays where he is. There's been a lot of turnover on that line, and even with a player as good as Mankins, there is a necessary "gel" time for dudes on the line. I like Doug in the late 2nd, early 3rd.

I currently have Gronk, and want to pick up Tim Wright. Who should I drop off my bench to pick him up?

Terrance West
Justin Hunter
Mike Williams
Jordan Matthews
Eifert

This is a situation where its worth it. I'd drop Eifert. You're gonna be playing Gronk, and if he misses a game or two, I'd roll with Wright over Eifert all day

Watch this be another Zach Sudfeld debacle

.

Exactly

Should I drop my backup QB jake locker for Wright when RG3 is looking as bad as he is and things looking up for Jake? (16 man league)

Naw. Not if you're in that deep of a league and your #1 QB is RG3. Who's your starting TE?

 

[mczoot]

I have always like Lamar Miller but he is always a bust

Do you guys think he can some impact this year?

I think he has a shot this year, and I made it a point to draft him, but I'm already nervous about it. Will be very interesting to see how much better the Miami line is this year. I think he's worth a shot where he's being drafted.

16 team (NT deep league) ppr 6 point passing Tds. 15th pick...

QB. Brees, Fitzpatrick

RB. J. Bell, Moreno, J. Stewart, Hillman, Cadet

WR. Julio, Edelman, S.Smith, B.Cooks, Thompkins

TE. Cameron, Ebron

D/ST. Skins(this was for me

)

K. Gostkowski

Thought?

Skins D? haha.

but honestly, team is fine for a 16 teamer. obviously your RBs arent the best, but you should be ok. Just be a hawk when it comes to RB pickups.

I would be shocked if Stacy isn't the week 1 starter.

Me too. However, I would be a little worried this season about him eventually losing his job if he struggles at all. That offense is not gonna look good.

appreciate the feedback even if its negative. In advance, how do you like your crow?

Wilson? Manning Brees will still out score Wilson. Andy dalton/stafford/Foles/Newton will out score Wilson.

I think Russ is gonna end up being top ten. Not top 5 tho. That being said, I like his value where he's being drafted. He's a smart runner, so he'll get you some rushing stats without taking the massive hits that could knock him out for a few games.

How long are they gonna drag this Josh Gordon suspension ruling?

I'm contemplating whether or not to scoop him up.

Grab him for the last spot on your bench if he's available. Worst case, you just drop him. Best case, you ride with him and get a top talent for no cost.

 
Regarding Murray. 

i took him in both NT leagues ( 7th and 8th pick) for the same fact you pointed out. i just hope that improved o-line will do him wonders and he does stay healthy. 

witten is older, dez will be doubled up a lot and there is concern over Romo's arm strength  so im hoping he'll see plenty of dump offs....

I'm really high on DeMarco. I think he's gonna have a Forte-ish season like you said. lots of short pass catches, and he runs behind an amazing line.

Just looked over my team for the Deep League again and I think I love it . Very happy I was able to secure a sure WR1 and RB1. A little iffy at RB2, but in a 16 teamer who isn't? Think Alex Smith will do just fine, although I would've liked to secure a quality backup.

Bench is worrisome too but in a 16 team league you can't expect to have a bunch of solid guys there. I went with a bunch of risk/reward players.

 

[tvobach]

Man why can't I figure out how to do multiple quote boxes inside one? The multi box isn't working or I don't know how to use it...

@Ballinsam23  ...understandable, I'm doing the same thing.

Anyways, for those that want it...here is a cheat sheet I used for my 10 team league when I had the 9th pick...names I liked that I thought would be available around each pick.

FWIW...I ended up taking Josh Gordon in the 14th round, a lot later than I thought I could...also, essentially every name listed here in the 13th and 14th rounds was available when the draft ended as well.

Good idea for a cheat sheet though. Never thought of making one like that. Might do one for my draft on Thursday.

I like your squad too. Smith will be fine...13-15 PPG would be my guess.

 

[ballinsam23]

Ridiculous how bad my WR core is. All my hope relies on Welker going nut like I hope he does.

Thoughts on my team? PPR 16 team Niketalk Deep League...

I'm actually thinking he'll give me 15-18 PPG. He gets a nice bit of rushing yards that people tend to forget about. And if he starts targeting Bowe more, and the coaches move Kelce ahead of Fasano that'll only help him even more.

Yeah you definitely need a reliable WR or 2. But the rest of your team is solid. 3 reliable RBs, bounce-back candidate Brady, possible breakout in Rudolph, and the Seahawks D/ST is juiced.

Gonna have to hope Gordon gets a reduced suspension and Welker can stay healthy. I'd still try and work out a trade to add some insurance though.

 

[rook]

Russ Wilson is going to have a great ff season. just wait

 

[buc em]

For those comparing Wright to Sudfield I can tell you right now that's not the case. There were times last year where Wright looked like the most talented player on the field as a rookie that was in the middle of a position switch and an AWFUL situation that was unfolding in Tampa. We split him out wide at both TE and WR.

No TE in the league caught more TD's in the final 4 weeks of the season last year than Wright other than Graham.

How long it's going to take him to adjust to being on a whole new offense I don't know though.

 

[tvobach]

How much would you guys bid for Wright in a FA auction? I'm thinking $3....I have $100 for the year.

 

[steelcity412]

Any other leagues that didn't start yet looking for people?

 

[Bert.]

Stupid waiver wire crap

bet Justin Hunter gonna get nabbed up from under me

gonna try for CUnningham since i have Stacy

yall scaring me with this stuff now. i hope he beasts

 

[Bert.]

Russ Wilson is going to have a great ff season. just wait

i hope so, so i can trade him

 

[csprings09er]

Would you guys drop D walker for t wright at te. Written is my starter but I'd like to catch lighting in a bottle. Btw I have to have two tight ends. Want to decide before season starts. 3 dollars a pickup one season starts. Free in preseason.

 

[kickhead23]

Naw. Not if you're in that deep of a league and your #1 QB is RG3. Who's your starting TE?

Ertz

 

[kb8 3qwick]

Again, this is my roster in a 14 team league.
View media item 1152088
My boy wants Carlos Hyde. I know I need WRs and he has Marques Colston, Brandin Cooks, and Steve Smith that I know he may be down to part with. Should I make a trade, or stay put with this roster until the season starts. Also, I'm currently waiting on a waiver pick up where I will be dropping Bradshaw and picking up Markus Wheaton.

this team is great. You should be fine with Smith. The advantages on the rest of your roster for a 16 teamer will more than make up for it.

Was Dez your first rounder?

Ridiculous how bad my WR core is. All my hope relies on Welker going nut like I hope he does.

Thoughts on my team? PPR 16 team Niketalk Deep League...

god damn those wideouts!

I'd be very nervous. I personally avoided Welker in my main league because of the concussion concerns. You have to wonder if he possibly retires midseason if he has another scare.

Who else was available at WR when you took Josh Gordon?

Ertz

I would maybe consider it. Depends on who else is on the wire for QB. Could you drop locker for Wright now and try to grab Cousins before the season starts?

I'd hold tight for a while. Does the guy who wants Hyde have Gore? I'd be comfortable with starting Cordarrelle and Crab for the first part of the year, because you have a nice set of RBs to get you started.

 

[kb8 3qwick]

mczoot Nah, he doesn't have Gore. And thanks for the response (repped).

 

[swaggy p]

Max 12. I had the 11th pick overall, Forte slipped my way, also snatched Manziel and Sammy Watz. 

 

[Bert.]

Forte fell down to 11?

 

[Retto]

Crazy

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Dude playing with some elementary aged kids

 

[xxpizzo]

crazy who you playing with fam any reason why the other people passed on him

Forte falls to 11 is nuts but atleast he fell to you, how did the order go from 1-10
