Playmakers, with the disparities in time zones for some, as well as others' respective schedules && prior engagements, Thursday night (on the East) isn't looking too ideal as a whole. With that being said...


How's Labor Day looking for everyone? I'm thinking school and/or work shouldn't be an obstacle on that day for most, if not all, which likely makes that the most ideal/flexible draft day.

What say y'all?

Labor Day in the evening would be fine for me...

he is the tim tebow of fantasy 

 

[105950]

can you draft via ESPN mobile app?

 

[tvobach]

12 team PPR

Tom Brady
Demarco murray
steven jackson
percy harvin
anquan boldin
brandin cooks
jimmy graham
rob gronkowski

colin kaepernick
donald brown
tavon austin
odell beckham
mike evans
steve smith
robert woods
robbie gould
denver broncos def


got a couple of trade offers...

gronkowski for jordy nelson straight up
gronkowski and mike evans for dez bryant

what do you guys think? first time doing FF

That Gronk + Evans for Dez is definitely intriguing...I'd probably take that one.

Also...for the NT Playmakers League...Labor Day later in the evening is really the only time that would work for me.

 

[carver]

Gronk for Dez and pick up Tim Wright

 

[mczoot]

Do that gronk for Dez trade

 

[buc em]

I wouldn't do either of those trades if I was you. If Gronk is healthy he's putting up just as much if not more points than Dez in PPR. Mike Evans is a ******* beast...don't trade him. Your depth is terrible and even your starting receivers are meh. Steven Jackson being your RB2 is not a good look.

That's a BIG if though....

Here's how I view the trade...

HEALTHY Gronk = Dez...

To me, Mike Evans won't do much this year...so you're minimizing a lot of risk by getting Dez instead of Gronk.

if i were you, id look into upgrading my RB's. you got way too many WR's, 

 

[miamin2]

Had a draft last night, and I really need to improve my rbi's (I'm starting Ryan Matthews n Trent). I drafted Aaron Rodgers & Stafford, so I think I can move one of them and try to pick up a solid rb in return.

I was thinking about one of these trades:

Stafford + Trent for Arian Foster
or
Stafford for Reggie Bush straight up.

 

[Bert.]

Guy in my league put McCoy on the block... possible for me to get him? without really giving up too much? i want to get rid of STacy

my team

Matt Ryan
Eddy Lacy
Zac Stacy
C. Patterson
Fitzgerald
J. Thomas
T. Gerhart

Eric Decker
Justin Hunter
Russel Wilson
Helu
D. Bowe
B. Cunningham


HIS TEAM

A. Luck
A. Jeffery
TY. Hilton
McCoy
Chris Johnson
Z. Ertz
Sammy Watkins

L. Bell
T. Mason
D. Hopkins
M. Lee
E. Manuel
A. Hawkins

 

[jordan2o1]

Stacy + Patterson/Fitz for Shady and a wr (Watkins or Decker since I don't think he'd give TY)

 

[Bert.]

I have Decker, not him

you would lose both of those trades by a mile. Be smarter and realize you are trading a top 5 QB.

Also - you're not very smart for drafting Stafford when you had Rodgers already. Congrats. You wasted a pick and now are desperately trying to unload him for an RB.

Can I ask you 1 simple question?

Why do you think you are going to be able to get the #1 RB in fantasy football "without giving up too much." Why do you feel so entitled? This is the mentality that makes people angry in fantasy because everyone is trying to take advantage or people and assume they are so much smarter than their league mates.

Why would he trade McCoy for like a Gerhart and Bowe? Because I'm sure that's you're idea of not giving up too much. Or are you the type that wants to trade their bench players for starters thinking you can make that work?

If you really want to get McCoy you offer this: Stacy, Fitz and Hunter for McCoy - that can get you started talking.

 

[jordan2o1]

I have Decker, not him

My bad, on second though, I think the only way you could do it is if he takes Decker and Stacy for Shady straight up. Anything else, you would be downgrading WR

 

[rook]

I know its very early but bears defense vs bills week 1 or browns vs pitt?

 

[Retto]

Def. Bears IMO

you would lose both of those trades by a mile. Be smarter and realize you are trading a top 5 QB. There's just not a lot of rb's this year I personally feel very high on, outside of the top tier guys of course

Also - you're not very smart for drafting Stafford when you had Rodgers already. Congrats. You wasted a pick and now are desperately trying to unload him for an RB.

Whoa relax man I haven't sent anything out yet and I'm just feeling out his value here. It was an auction draft and I got stafford for an absolute steal. A lot of top rb's were kept, and other ones on the board hardly went for great value. I'm just trying to see which rb's are around his value that I should aim for.

You think Stafford is really top-5 this year (in fantasy terms)? I'd aim a lot higher if that's the case

 

[venom lyrix]

Man we spend way too much time in this thread discussing roster fillers.

If 75% of the dudes yall keep asking about actually have to start on your teams your team sucks anyways.

Everyone is trying to be ahead of the curve - trying to find that next best player. Unfortunately - everyone is pretty much discussing the same guys so it's running around in circles.

the **** else we have to talk about?

People in here posting their rosters are looking for ONE THING.

And that's for other people to tell them how good they did. That's the only reason anyone every posts their roster - they want self validation. And when they don't get that - excuses pile up.

I say this every year - it's true - no one cares about your lineup and team besides you - so when you get an honest opinion about your mediocre squad - don't be mad - you asked for it.

12 team PPR

what do you guys think? first time doing FF

I'm not a fan of Gronk, and I love Dez and Jordy - I'm okay doing the deal for Dez. Your team needs RB help big time.

Here is a fantasy tip

Do the opposite of what Matthew Berry tells you

In a sense I agree because 70% of fantasy players don't really know where to look for info besides ESPN, CBS and Yahoo. And Berry is the big name in fantasy. So I'd caution people to buy into what Berry says and treat it as gospel because more likely than not - others are doing the same.
