OT - Fantasy Football 2016

[humanrefutation]

So, my lineup looks like this. I'm in a keeper league where I can keep up to four players:

QB - Aaron Rodgers
WR - Emmanuel Sanders
WR - Davante Parker
RB - Todd Gurley
RB - Zeke Elliott
WRT - Carlos Hyde
Bench: Stefon Diggs, Jimmy Garoppolo, Josh Gordon, Gary Barnridge, Laquon Treadwell, Jimmy Graham, Nelson Agholor, Travis Kelce


I realize I'm thin at WR. I'm hoping Gordon ends up having a monster season once he's back from suspension, or that my stable of RBs will keep me humming regardless.

But, a team with depth at WR, but awful running backs, offered me Julio Jones for either Gurley or Elliott.

Would anyone make that deal with the keeper caveat? I'm leaning no, because Gurley and Elliott are young and have long-term potential that I can keep. But, adding Jones might make me better in the short term.

^ 6 team league?

Even at that, seems crazy to get Rodgers, Zeke, Gurley all in one draft. Well done.

It's a 16 team league, but we had four keepers from last year. My four were Rodgers, Gurley, Hyde, and Kelce. I drafted second this year, and the guy ahead of me picked Amari Cooper ahead of Elliott.

[DigitalFool]

I'd love to see that team's 4 keepers that didn't hang on to Cooper. I've played in big leagues like that and it's slim pickens!

If I made that trade, it'd be for Zeke - but only for the sake of known vs unknown. The keeper part makes me pause because of the ages.

Suffice to say, it didn't make sense not to keep Cooper. But I was even more surprised when he was taken ahead of Elliott.

I ended up declining the trades, because I have a feeling Elliott is going to get a lot of burn with Romo being hurt. It was a legitimately compelling offer, unlike the guy who offered me Eric Decker for Gurley.

For those yet to draft, main advice remains play your draft and know how your league unfolds (positions taken per round).

In my 2qb keeper league (my main priority), I kept Gurley for a 4th and Deandre Hopkins for a 7th. Had 2 first round picks, a 5th, a 6th, 8th, 9th, 2 10s, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 2 16s and that was it. 5th and 8th pick in the 1st. To my surprise, after antonio brown went, it went Rodgers, Cam, Wilson. Had to go Julio, then Brees and Palmer. **** spending the number 8 pick on big ben, and went for Ezekiel elliot over AP. Like my team, and just narrowly missed Eli over Stafford otherwise I would love it. Anyhow, thoughts given the aforementioned:

QB - Stafford, Mariota, Flacco, Romo (IR; 16th)
RB - Gurley, Elliot, R. Jennings, S. Ware
WR - J. Jones, D. Hopkins, D. Moncreif, S. Shephard
TE - Fleener and D. Allen
D - Panthers, Steelers
K - Crosby

Again, not the best qbs for a 2qb league and it was tough to plan as I didn't have a 2nd, 3rd or 4th (gurley, keeper), but I like how it played out. Hopefully elliot is the real deal and Julio stays healthy.

I have the third pick in my draft tomorrow night. 12 teams, full point ppr, start QB, RBx2, WRx2, Flex, TE, K, D/ST.

Who is your big board for the top 3 picks out of the following players?

Odell
Julio
AJ
Gurley
David Johnson
Dez Bryant

I'm keeping Jordy and Kelvin Benjamin, so I'm actually kind of hoping Gurley is there at #3. I like him more than Johnson and I think RB's will be hard to get by the end of the 2nd round.

Julio, Gurley, ODB. I'm a bit different than what I've seen in my drafts so far, but I have Benjamin as like the 28th-32nd best WR, and I see him being drafted like the 20th-23rd best wr. I'd hope for Gurley, but, if he's gone, I'd feel great about getting Odell.

[Profound23]

Second draft, had 7th pick.

Of course Gurley went 6th. The guy at 5th took Aaron Rodgers, and the guy at 6th who usually sucks just let autodraft take Gurley for him and I had to settle for DeAndre Hopkins.

Blake Bortles
Leveon Bell, DeMarco Murray, DeAngelo Williams, Derrick Henry, Jeremy Langford, Ameer Abdullah, Tevin Coleman
DeAndre Hopkins, Amari Cooper, Josh Gordon, Travis Benjamin
Jimmy Graham, Kyle Rudolph



REALLY hated my draft position. I can't believe I missed Gurley like that and he almost fell to me at 7, buy loved Bell in the 2nd. I rarely draft so many of the same players in both leagues but they just kept falling to me and I had to take them. Langford in the 5th round of both drafts was just too much for me to pass up.

[Profound23]

Hilarious picks:

-4th round someone landed Jamaal Charles at 39th overall, then someone took Spencer Ware 40th overall.
-Jordy Nelson 12th overall
-One guy took Andrew Luck 3rd round, Big Ben 4th round.....then did the same thing with TE Eifert and Gates 8th/9th round
-Mason Crosby 6th round
-Every team besides me took two QBs and all of them early, yet I still got Bortles in the 9th round and just missed Derek Carr in the 10th

[Frank Nova]

Had my 2nd and final draft.

10 team ppr league, I had 3rd pick.

1. Odell Beckam
2. Brandon Marshall
3. Eddie Lacy
4. Alshon Jeffrey
5. Russell Wilson
6. Gio Bernard
7. Travis Kelce
8. Ryan Mathews
9. Michael Floyd
10. Willie Snead
11. Isaiah Crowell
12. Devante Parker
13. Gary Barnidge
14. Vikings D
15. Bilal Powell
16. Graham Gano

I'm pretty satisfied with how everything shook out. I need Eddie and Alshon to both have bounce back seasons and all should be well. I won this league last year so there was a little more pressure to draft a good team. I'd say my biggest dilemma will be deciding between Gio or Mathews each week in my RB2 spot?

Any thoughts, opinions, advice, criticism is greatly welcomed. Thanks.

[PkrsBcksGphsMqt]

Not totally satisfied with this team. Will probably look to trade running back depth for wide receiver at some point during the season. Start QB, RBx2, WRx2, FLEX, TE, K, D/ST. 12 teams, PPR.

1.03: Todd Gurley
2.10: Demaryius Thoams
3.03: Greg Olsen
4.10: Gio Bernard
5.03: Matt Jones
6.10: DeAngelo Williams
7.03: Tom Brady
8.10: Eli Manning
9.03: Frank Gore
10.10: Tyler Boyd
10.12: Denver Broncos (traded pick)
11.03: Stephen Gostkowski
12.10: Mohamed Sanu
13.03: KEEPER-Kelvin Benjamin
14.10: KEEPER-Jordy Nelson

QB: Eli Manning / Tom Brady
RB: Todd Gurley / Matt Jones
RB: DeAngelo Williams / Gio Bernard / Frank Gore
WR: Jordy Nelson / Kelvin Benjamin / Mohamed Sanu
WR: Demaryius Thomas / Tyler Boyd
FLEX: _____
TE: Greg Olsen
K: Gostkowski
D/ST: Denver Broncos

[Kerb Hohl]

Yeah, I am a bit down on Benjamin myself. Like the team other than that.

Too many mouths to feed in Carolina and I don't think they're going to repeat the passing efficiency they had last year.

Yeah, I don't like him as much as I did last season when I traded for him after it was clear I was going to miss the playoffs. Thought he'd be an excellent keeper given his late round cost. Still a solid keeper, but more as a depth guy, not as a weekly starter. We'll see how it goes though.

[RiotPunch]

10-Teamer PPR tonight, had the 5th pick, ended up with:

QB: Philip Rivers
WR: Dez Bryant
WR: Amari Cooper
RB: Todd Gurley
RB: Latavius Murray
FLEX: Randall Cobb
TE: Martellus Bennett
DEF: NY Jets
K: Dan Bailey

BN: Jeremy Langford
BN: Michael Floyd
BN: Giovani Bernard
BN: Marvin Jones
BN: Blake Bortles
BN: Tyler Eifert

Wasn't thrilled to get #5, but I like my team. Was able to grab Dez, Cooper, Cobb despite taking Gurley in the first round. Bortles really slipped in my draft too, so I snatched him late too.

[BUCKnation]

12 team ppr, last pick

QB - Cousins

RB - Miller, Jennings, Sims, Draughn

WR - D. Thomas, Cobb, J. Matthews, D. Parker, Hurns, Boyd, Hogan

TE - Gronk

D - Rams

K - Catanazaro

Last draft of the season in my most important league.

Had a lot of RB targets get stolen right before my pick, so I ended up with a weak RB core. I felt safe with my top 3-4 at WR so I went with the lottery pick route and tried to a few guys who might blow up. Cousins dropped really far so I hard time passing him up.

[Profound23]

Already receiving trade offers for Jordy.

One guy offered Tevin Coleman and Tavon Austin, I countered with Jordy for Antonio Brown.

Another offered Amari Cooper and I countered with Jordy for Julio Jones.

I realize they won't accept, but I drafted Jordy over Cooper and didn't even want Coleman or Austin why would I draft him and then three days later trade him for the guy I drafted him over? My counteroffer was a statement....if you really want Jordy you better bring it.

[vegaspacker]

12 team, full PPR, 3 WR - 1 RB league, shallow bench only 14 player roster. Run a team with two family members so there was some group think/panic pick problems this year.

QB: Cam
RB: Gurley
WR: jordy
WR: Cobb
WR: John Brown
TE: Dwayne Allen
Flex: Deangelo Williams
Defense: Seattle
Kicker: can't remember

Bench:
Josh Gordon
Rashad Jennings
Rishard Matthews
Torrey Smith
Matt Stafford

I really don't like this team unless josh Gordon is a legit #1 type guy. Got off to a bad start so we drafted him as a wild card. Williams was drafted to bridge the gap on the suspension.

[skones]

Proposed Deal:
David Johnson and Amari Cooper for ODB and Melvin Gordon

Non PPR. Is it lopsided?
