OFFICIAL 2015 FANTASY FOOTBALL THREAD

Need help on who I should start in my FLEX spot. With the latest news it's currently between Tevin Coleman or Charles Johnson
 
Mike Evans hamstring is fine from what I've heard. He said he would have played the rest of preseason if it was regular season, he just felt it was better to rest the hamstring.

There are other ones if you want something more specific as far as roster and scoring settings

Didn't realize it was a 12 team league. Def look to hoard QBs

Yeah I'm definitely looking to grab at least 3 QBs. If I get the #1 pick Luck is a no brainer. I'm a bit bearish on Rodgers after he lost Jordy, so it's Luck or Bust in round 1, I'll happily pass on Rodgers, WIlson, Manning and Brees who are all likely to be off the board in the 1st. I'd rather Brady or Big Ben a round later or just double up on mid-tier QB1s in the 3rd and 4th.

I'm actually a proponent of a RB-zero/RB-light approach, so unless I can grab Lacy, Peterson or Bell, I think I'd rather go WR early. I love Antonio Brown's weekly floor and he's a guy I'd love to get in this league given the scoring format. I'd be higher on Lynch if Carroll didn't just announce that FJAX would be their new 3rd down back and will be heavily involved from the outset, and Charles who Reid has said he wants to limit to ensure his health (wants to get Knile more involved).


CJ Anderson is a go for me if I'm at the back of the 1st, I'd probably pair him with a WR1 like OBJ, Calvin, Green or Cobb (assuming DT, Julio, Dez are all off the board).


But yeah, definitely looking to square WR away relatively early. I think WRs provide a safer weekly floor as they are less injury prone. I'm fine with some of the lower-tiered RBs like Jennings, Crowell and Coleman. I also like handcuffs like Duke Johnson Jr, Andre Williams, David Johnson Jr, who may end up supplanting the starter in their backfields.


RB for most teams just seems to be a fluid situation. I feel as the season progresses it's a lot easier to replace RB than receiver. Last year was an outlier in that guys like OBJ, Jordan Matthews, Martavis Bryant all emerged from the wire.


Most years, it's a lot more difficult to find a top-5 WR1 or a high-end WR2 in season. But just about every year there's RB1s/RB2s who emerge due to injury or just outright outplaying their stablemates.


But I'm flexible, a lot will be dictated by draft position and draft flow. I'm going to take a VBD approach, and I'll always take value where it's available.

Scoring format?


Regardless, though I'm starting Coleman, I'd lean Charles in either PPR or standard.


Coleman has big play ability, but he's somewhat boom or bust.


Take a wait and see approach with Coleman if you can. Though he might have a higher ceiling than Johnson in standard.

.5 PPR..These first few weeks are tricky since you don't really know what to expect from certain players.
 
Who should I start for my flex in a standard league?

Vincent Jackson, Markus Wheaton, Ameer Abdullah? I'm assuming Alshon will play as my WR2
 
I'd go with V-Jax. Him and Jameis seem to have good chemistry and the Titans defense kinda sucks balls.

@RapSheet: #Saints RB CJ Spiller (knee) will not play in Week 1, I’m told, as he recovers from that minor knee surgery. Likely good to go after that
 
say he's 100% healthy by week 5 like Rapoport is saying...

he's gonna need at least 2-3 weeks to get into game shape. i can't see drafting him at his current ADP if he's not gonna be productive for half the season.

Gurley probably won't play until week 5 at the earliest, per Rapoport.

Called that **** from the jump and even then I'll be hesitant on his production

Yep. Only league I have him in is my dynasty league. I'm hoping the Rams don't constantly list him as questionable so I can keep him on my IR and be free to make roster moves. Nothing more annoying than having a player that the whole world knows isn't gonna play, but you can't have him on your IR because he's not officially listed as "Out" yet :smh:.

Well with whatever you're doing it all depends on how things fall.. My biggest thing is best available player approach

But there are so few known starting RBs if you can hoard em, do it.. Also if you can get 3 of the top 10 QBs, you got trade bait

But I expect Nelson, cooper and Parker all to be very solid this year.. Then Lockett up in Seattle who could get the harvin role

Im all in on Richard Rogers, i have him starting in every league, hope he doesn't fail me.. but Allen is def worth rostering as well.. Thats a tough one..

I would drop one of my (weaker) bench RBs but IDK if I want to carry 3 TE's on my roster.
 
somebody jus dropped C.Hyde 

thinking bout letting go of Smith Sr. for him..

yay or nay?
 
Which one should I pick up at TE Fleener, Donnell, Cook, Quarless, Josh Hill, or Rodgers if Ertz can't play on Monday? I leaning toward Fleener.
