That's been the question this whole thread. At this point it's a coin toss, I for one am for sure going with Ball without hesitating

Anyone high on Doug Martin this year? Picked him over Ball and Foster. I also have Gio on my team.

Bernard vs. Ball is a wash right now. They will distinguish themselves in the first few weeks.
Ball has slightly more value in standard leagues, they're pretty equal in PPR. It remains to be seen whether or not Ball can put his fumbling issues from last year behind him and if he's proven capable enough in pass protection. Bernard has Hill emerging behind him but we saw what kind of playmaking he has last season and that's when he was on the wrong end of the timeshare.

Seems like Cincy's offense won't be as pass friendly as it was last year. Could mean a big dose of their running backs and I'm sure they'll still look to throw short to Gio. Definitely can't go wrong with Gio

lacy fell to 10th in my main league.Had my last 2 drafts of the season last night. Happy with both of my teams but kinda sick that draft season is over. Here's how they turned out.
Team 1: 12 teams, PPR, 4 points per pass TD, standard roster. Had 9th overall pick in a snake draft.
QB - Carson Palmer (1
RB1 - Eddie Lacy (1)
RB2 - Toby Gerhart (6)
WR1 - Brandon Marshall (2)
WR2 - Roddy White (4)
FLEX - Michael Floyd (5)
TE - Rob Gronkowski (3)
D/ST - Bills (16)
K - Nate Freese (17)
Bench - Golden Tate (7), Lamar Miller (8 ), Carlos Hyde (9), Jordan Reed (10), Jordan Matthews (11), James White (12), Cody Latimer (13), John Brown (14), Kenny Britt (15).
Very happy with this team. Couldn't believe Lacy fell to me at 9. Really like my depth all around. Not sure if I wanna go with Floyd/Tate/or Reed in the Flex. Also, everyone was going nuts drafting backup QBs within 2-3 rounds of drafting their starter so I opted to wait until the LAST round to grab mine. Not mad about getting Palmer at all.
feel some kind of way about your RB's aside from LAcy.

12 team PPR thoughts? Missed out on Ellington and Cameron each by one pick. Was infuriating.

hill could definitely vulture some goal line touches from Gio...hunter and Benjamin could be major red zone targets this year

There aren't any guys that will wow you but I think Gerhart will be a serviceable RB2. White is a Ridley fumble away from starting and Hyde should start getting more and more tick as the season wears on. Hopefully Miller can hold off Moreno and show some flashes in that Lazor offense.
I feel like this year with the extreme lack of viable RBs as long as you have one of the top 5 guys you'll be ok if the rest of your team is well rounded.
I started playing around week 6 last year and hit a $3000 grand prize in like week 8Just joined FanDuel. I could definitely see myself getting addicted to this ****
. Ended up winning around $3300 over the entire season. They taxed me around $800 come tax season though :x :x :x. There's a Fanduel thread somewhere in this forum. We all used to share our lineups and stuff last year.

i just dont get how you can have shady , jordy , and brown in a 14 team league. i wish some of these drafters would play in big money leagues. nothing against you , you did great. just the fact is the leagues i play in , it is impossible to get those 3 guys. its a strong threesome. good luck.

Thnks man I did. However, I didn't want to lose out on talent positions and by the time I went looking for a qb there was nothing left. Could always trade on of the wr for a team who took too many later on. That's why I took a flyer on bortles just in case

I was a little shocked too. I was confident that Jordy or Brown would be there at 28/29 (I picked 1st overall), but not both.i just dont get how you can have shady , jordy , and brown in a 14 team league. i wish some of these drafters would play in big money leagues. nothing against you , you did great. just the fact is the leagues i play in , it is impossible to get those 3 guys. its a strong threesome. good luck.

Foster, Bell, Stacy, Morris, and Julius Thomas went waaaaay earlier than I could have possibly imagined and only one of the teams were on autodraft

I think a bit of it had to do with the endless **** talking everyone was doing about sniping each other's picks, it led to a lot of panic in the first 2-3 rounds.
This is definitely not the most competitive league but the larger size of this league balances is up for some wildcards every now and then and we've had a strong core of 12-13 guys for a long time now, so its all in fun.

Julio at number 21 is insane. He never makes it past 14 in the leagues I do. Jordy and Jeffrey at 27th and number 28is unbelievable. They are both gone by number 20 in strong leagues
