So I decided I'm gonna keep Jeremy Hill in my keeper league, I'd be losing a 9th round pick. So I was thinking of going with two elite WR's with my first two picks and QB and RB right after.

Its a strategy I could see working out in my favor, what do you guys think?

 

[dmxfury]

Hill will be a good keep, Cincy likes him, is going to use him more and he finished strong last year. His style is better suited for the division

Anyone ever do a draft at Dave & Buster's? I'm the commissioner of a league and thinking of doing it there this year.

Anyone ever do a draft at Dave & Buster's? I'm the commissioner of a league and thinking of doing it there this year.

Never did one at D&B but one of my leagues does it at another huge sports bar here in Philly (Chickie's & Pete's) and it's great. You get your own private room, open bar, all you can eat pizza/wings/fries/mussels/snow crab legs for around $80 including tip. If D&B is anything like that I'd definitely recommend it. A lot more fun than drafting at someone's house or wherever you normally do it.

Any of you guys high on DGB this season? He's someone I could see having a good first year if he stays out of trouble.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

depending on how my team's built i might gamble on him as a sleeper last few rounds

been targeting Davante Adams/Jarvis Landry in round 10...need one of them on my team

 

[johnnyredstorm]

i need yeldon and abdullah as my rb 3 and rb 4

not really. He just has size as a plus right now. Even back at Mizzou, his routes left a lot to be desired. He hasn't played for over a year either.

Last year was sort of an aberration with all of the rookie WRs putting up numbers but I do like some of them this year. I'm not too high on DGB though. Maybe as a super late round flier.

I like both of them too. They could turn out to be really good steals in the 10th. I like Juice moreso in PPR though. Low yards but high catch total with an occasional TD.

Love me some rookie RBs . Usually low risk-high reward.

D&B has a similar set up, but it's $25 per person. I decided to go ahead and book it as everyone was down for it. As commissioner, I'm actually putting in $15 for everyone so they only have to put in $10.

Also, my league just jumped up to a 12 team league. Do any of y'all run in leagues that size or do you stick with 10?

I did some mock drafts and it looks a little :x by the 11th and 12th rounds. We haven't determined draft order, but my strategy may have to change up a little bit.

At the 7 spot, I ended up with a team looking like this:

QB: Romo
RB1: Hill
RB2: Hyde
WR1: Brown
WR2: Cooks
TE: Witten
FLEX: Cooper
D/ST: Vikings
K: Sturgis

Bench:
QB2: Tannehill
RB3: McFadden
RB4: Abdullah
RB5: Daniel Herron
WR4: Landry
WR5: Boldin :x
TE2: Owen Daniels :x

^ Yeah $25 is a steal. I might have to look into that for the league I commish since there's a D&B by me too.

Most of the leagues I'm in are 12 teams but the one I commish is 10. The only real difference in a 12 teamer imo is the lack of bench depth and waiver wire options.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

12 team the past two years. I like it. 10 can be too stacked 12 is just enough that skill takes over rather than luck/chalk.

ehh i like him but 1. he's a rookie and 2. he has a rookie qb throwing him the ball

thoguhts on Latavius Murray?

thoguhts on Latavius Murray?

Overrated commodity.


I rather use a late round pick on Helu who is a much more proven.


People make a huge deal about Murray's 4 touch monster game but forget Helu had 3 100 yard carry games and 1 100 yard receiving game during his rookie year.


And has been one of the best change of pace guys in the league since.


I'm not a big buyer on any Oakland commodity not named Amari Cooper, really I'd rather stay away completely.


But if I did want to grab an Oakland back, it would be Helu. Especially in PPR.

 

[HEATHEN]

Heathen's sleepers (competitive 12-14 teamers).


Stevie Johnson, I like him to outproduce Malcolm Floyd and maybe even Keenan Allen.

James White, I expect him to beat out Cadet for the receiving back role, I like him as a nice PPR late-round pick.

Roy Helu, as stated above, I think he's the best back Oakland has, lovely late round PPR asset. RB3/Flex value.

Devin Funchess, Big rangy target, not unlike Kelvin. And not unlike Kelvin he's very raw. That said I expect Kelvin to regress a little and Funchess to have some success in the endzone as a big TD target. Obviously Kelvin is still a nice WR2 to own but I like Funchess as a deep-league receiver with some upside.

Phillip Dorsett, projects as the starting slot receiver in a crowded Indy offense. Still I like his talent and think he'll be the guy to own over Moncrief if you're looking for a late round lotto ticket in a potent offense. Deep-league appeal here.

Cameron Artis-Payne, projects as J-Stew's backup in Carolina, starting to get drafted in most mocks so his sleeper appeal may all but evaporate by late August.

 

[stick]

Interesting points on Helu. I'll keep my eye on him.

Hey guys,

This board helped me finish no later than semifinals in a lot of my fantasy leagues this past year... I thinking bout following a new pattern in all of my keeper leagues this year...

I was thinking of keeping my QB's which are Rodgers, Wilson and Luck respectively and draft according to best player available...

If I draft early like 1-6, i'd draft Stud RB, Stud WR, then best available going forward.

If I draft late like 7-12, I'd draft 2 Stud WR's, then best available RB's going forward.

How do you think my strategy would work????

CCT dropped some gems for me last season
