2017 FANTASY FOOTBALL THREAD VOL. ZERO RB IS STILL KING

[dogpolice]

Just don't get too caught up into Week 1 (See Eric Thames in baseball) Dudes were trading Kris Bryant for him.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Drew Bree's for an overweight WR lol

Scooped Cohen on waivers and kamara

 

[アミーゴ]

Grabbed cohen for 50 and not looking back. Scored most points wk 1 but Woodhead went down so went for it. I never spend all my cash.

 

[John00]

Never mind that trade blew up in my face smh

Someone nabbed Sam Bradford , Alex Smith are swooped up

That trade blew up in your face the second you accepted it. Kelvin isn't that guy. You gave away real value.

 

[freakazoid]

Who should I start as my flex fellas?

 

[macbk]

Snagged Golladay on a $10 bid ($100 budget) I have to get used to the bidding concept, but I'm a fan. Even when I thought $10 was high for Week 1, Cohen went for $23.

 

[stick]

Here's how the bids went in my league (PPR, 2QB, $100 budget).


(Click to enlarge)

Over the past few years, the only players who have gone for big bucks ($20+) are the ones with true breakout performances with guaranteed workloads going forward. $13 for Cohen was right in line with what I was expecting.

I dropped Golladay before the week started because I didn't have a DST/Kicker .

 

[macbk]

All the Kelvin hate, he's my WR2 definitely a poor showing WK1 on his part.

 

[buc em]

Scooped up Chris Johnson in both my leagues. Hopefully he ends up being the guy.

Ravens D/ST was also somehow on waivers and nobody even put in a claim for them they could end up being the #1 defense this year. Grabbed them as soon as I saw them out there.

Just pulled off this robbery

You got robbed

 

[kicks2024]

I own the chiefs, streamed ATL for week 1. Saw the ravens were open but didnt usea waiver onthem figured theyd get by. Sure enough they did, claimed them.

Meanwhile someone dropped Denver .. should i stash Denver?

Current roster (standard):

Cam, Cousins
Gordon, Ingram, Coleman, Hunt, Cohen, McFadden
Jeffery, AB, Adams, Sanders
Gronk
Matt Bryant
Chiefs, Ravens

Yes

Wiliiams or Alshon

 

[buc em]

Dead *** wanna start Chris Johnson vs Colts over Abdullah at Giants. That Giants run D is serious and they're going to come out with a chip on their shoulder. I could see Abdullah getting me like 3 damn points on MNF.

 

[kicks2024]

CJ2K bout to take over



I hope, cuz im eyeing him as a late add just before sundays game

 

[kicks2024]

Im about to flex Mike Tolbert, returning to CAR, buffalo RB coach is from CAR. They gonna give him goalline work as well as other carries. Shady fragile

 

[flyerthandelta]

Scooped Cohen and Galladay

 

[parada45]

I own Diggs and Thielen

Who would you start weekly?

 

[askim35]

So week 1 was a huge success. Was the highest scorer in my league by far (dat weekly high scorer pot tho). This week, debating between demaryius and lamar miller as my flex spot, PPR. Who we picking?

Last weeks lineup was:
Mariota, Dalvin, Kareem, Cooks, Baldwin, Rudolph, Jags D, Bailey

People are usually way too cautious with their budgets. Almost never does anyone go below half their budget by the end of the year, at least in my league.

I usually do $1-5 for a streaming D or other position, $5-10 for a WR or other speculative hot bid, and then $10-20 for a must-add player. I studied the habits of everyone else in my league and these tend to be enough to outbid them based on historical trends

Prime time though is Wednesday, after the waiver wire has gone through, when you can pick up people for free. Is there any reason to hold on to DJ at this point or should I go for CJ2k? Or Chris Carson?

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Vereen keeping this up in a ppr?

I hear ya man. I should have just added Golladay before Week 1 out of FA. I wouldn't have necessarily started him but at least I would have him on my squad already at no cost.

That second paragraph is key. If you play with the same guys in the same league year in and year out you can exploit their bidding habits to your advantage .

Vereen keeping this up in a ppr?

I think game script and ODB missing the game played a part in him leading the team in targets, but he's definitely a hold/add in PPR leagues.

 

[macbk]

Who am I flexing out of Golladay, Shepard & Lockett?

 

[Final Bosa]

Playing in a 1ppr

Would you guys play Terrence west or Buck Allen at flex? Woodhead owner

 

[Final Bosa]
