OFFICIAL 2014 FANTASY FOOTBALL THREAD

[TipsyMcStagga]

Tomlin just confirmed that Bell and Blount are playing Sun and he's hoping to get Bell 25 carries...

Did I mess up drafting Olsen over Cameron?

I don't think so. It could happen, but i don't think Cameron is gonna have a season anywhere close to what he did last year. He was a no show the 2nd half of the season.

He was a no show because of the QB injury and Gordon returning. I think he flourishes this year...

That's what I was thinking about Cameron

Probably the only spot I think I might have messed up in my draft

Ranked about the same anyways

trade? 

 

[buc em]

I still think I messed up taking Jordan Reed over Cameron in my second money league.

 

[rck3sactown]

What's the better play for week 1

Bears D vs Buffalo
Eagles vs Jags

Both at home

Eh coin flip. 

Both are nice plug and play D for this week.

Thanks for the insight guys, hopefully everything goes well. Been outta fantasy for 3 years last time I was in, got runner up in the league. Now that money is on the line, hopefully I'll be focused and remember to adjust my lineups

Good to hear you are playing fantasy football again. 

Best of luck to you this year!

 
NT - Mixed feelings on my team, I feel it's either boom or bust.  Thoughts??  (10 Team PPR)

You should be booming.... only position you are severely weak in is TE.

My team after Toretto's draft last night. 12 teams I had 6th overall pick


QB- Brees
RB1- Ben Tate
Rb2- Gore
Wr1- Megatron
Wr2- Fitz
TE- Vernon Davis
Flex- Brandin Cooks
K- Nick Folk
Def- New England

Bench: Watkins, Deangelo Williams, Steve Smith, Blount, James Jones, Dwayne Bowe

I really didn't wanna take a QB with my 2nd overall pick but all I heard in my head was "500 yards, 500 yards"

You will greatly regret taking Brees 2nd overall.... yikes 

 
No set lineup but here is my 1st fantasy squad for this season. 10 team draft...4th overall pick. My bench is mad suspect/injury prone smh. I have another one tonight so hopefully I can land that 1st or 10th pick. 

QB Cam Newton

RB Jamaal Charles

RB Frank Gore

WR AJ Green

WR Alshon Jeffery

TE Jason Witten

Flex Percy Harvin

D Cardinals D

K Phil Dawson

49ers Defense

Jeremy Maclin

Steven Jackson

Anquan Boldin

Antonio Gates

Andy Dalton

Kelvin Benjamin

Eh this squad isn't so bad. Charles at the 4th pick is nice.

Browns D vs Steelers
Or
Texans D vs Skins

Texans D....

 
My last team.  Standard scoring...

Solid squad all around, I like it. Bench is nice as well.

 
Should i put in Sproles for Cooks for week 1? Cooks is unproven at this point but im not sure how many touches Sproles will get behind mccoy.

Also was thinking of offering jeremy hill straight up for carlos hyde in case something happens to gore. Thoughts on that?

 

Sproles and Cooks would be similar plays, in that Sproles will likely bring you about 5-7 touches (the majority being receptions) and 30-50 total yards. Its a safe, cushy start, especially in PPR.

Starting Cooks would mean gambling that Brees takes a look at the supremely talents wideout and he blows up with those looks....

Pick you poison, Jamie.

I ended up taking Montee Ball in the 3rd round and Andre Ellington in the 5th round in my draft

Two guys I liked but wasn't really trying to draft

Charles and Spiller (6th round) are my other backs

How did you get Ball and Ellington that late. 

And I thought the guys in my league's are stupid as hell 

Browns vs Steelers
Bears vs Bills
Steelers vs Browns
Lions vs Giants
Eagles vs Jags
Texans vs Skins

All available...which one should I pick?

Lions or Eagles, take your match up.

 
Hey Guys,

Thoughts/Question about my team.  12 team .5PPR

QB: Kaepernick

RB: McCoy

RB: Murray

WR: J Nelson

WR: R White

TE: Olsen

FLEX: CJ Spiller

K: 

D: Seattle

Bench

R Rice

B Pierce

J Bell

Andre Williams

Doug Baldwin

R Streater

J Boykin

I know I'm weak at reciever, hopefully Roddy doesnt get hurt.  I took Boykin in rd 15 because I couldnt believe he was still available.  My issues are I have both Roddy and Nelson on byes in week 9 so keeping Boykin seems stupid.  My hopes are after week 1 to trade 1 or 2 of my RBs for a WR2.  There are several people starving for RBs in my league but for some reason they all fell into my lap draft day.

I need to drop 1 to pick up a kicker, I think its between Boykin and Williams since I am so stacked at RB, but I obviously would love to stash him for later on.  I am also considering dropping Streater.

Any thoughts?

Hello Swade, welcome to the thread.

My advice on planning for bye weeks that are over 2 months away..... be patient.

Pay close attention to the waiver wire and be ready to jump on any players that emerge.

Keenan Allen, Edelman, Boldin, Cooper, etc were all fringe rostered to undrafted players going into week 1 last season.

You essentially have 8 weeks to watch and have these unknowns try out for you. 

for some reason every year i start with Detroit defense, no idea why.

Probably because you are a Lions fan?

Did I mess up drafting Olsen over Cameron?

Yes, Cameron will be force fed looks.

Olsen is who he is. He will top out at 800 with 6ish TDs; his worst case scenario is you get flustered with him and you drop him. 

Tomlin just confirmed that Bell and Blount are playing Sun and he's hoping to get Bell 25 carries...

That is interesting.... still not too big of a fan of high volume, low production rate guys though.

 

[fullcourtpress]

who would you all go with for a bench rb : james starks or khiry robinson

 

[buc em]

I really wanna start the Bears defense vs the Bills this week cause the Bills offense is so ******* terrible...but the Bears defense was awful as well last year.

I probably am going to start them

Keep going back and forth between them and Philly

Starks... One of the better handcuffs to a top RB.  If Lacy were to get hurt, there wouldn't be a huge drop off to the workload that Starks would get.  He looked great in preseason and is no question the #2.

Even when the Packers running game was AWFUL, Mike Mac would still give the ball to the RB's.  They wont abandon the run.

Thanks for the advice, so you think dropping Streater would be the best move to pickup a kicker?

 

[buc em]

I wonder if Denarius Moore is worth a pickup now that Carr is the starter.

Thanks sir, noticed the avy and figure you should know Starks outlook better than me

 

[rck3sactown]

 

Yes I would agree with dropping Streater for a kicker.

 

[stick]

[CONTENTEMBED=/t/595709/official-2014-fantasy-football-thread/3270#post_21510999 layout=inline]top 20 FA TE's.  Best pick up to replace mine?

Heath Miller.

 

[23legacy45]

Should I use Ram's or Lion's defense for week 1?

 

[timelessflight]

Should I use Ram's or Lion's defense for week 1?

Lions

 

[suberzat1]

Romo or Cutler for week 1?

 

[Retto]

 
Romo or Cutler for week 1?

Mmmmmmmm...I'd lean towards Cutler.

 

[suberzat1]

 

 
Romo or Cutler for week 1?

Mmmmmmmm...I'd lean towards Cutler.

Same thing I was thinking but you know Romo has those out of nowhere games

 

[parada45]

Romo or Cutler for week 1?

I like both really

The Niners defense is banged up and Buffalo just sucks

I would go Cutler

 

[antidope]

Matt Stafford was going so early in every league I drafted him. I wanted him bad but I wasnt going to reach under any circumstances. Didnt draft a QB until round 7 in any league.
