2012 Official NFL Fantasy Football Thread

I like Lesean McCoy over Ray Rice... anyone disagree?

PPR - Rice slightly ahead simply because McCoy is a bit of an injury concern. But they are both elite

 

[venom lyrix]

Antonio Brown or DeSean Jackson in a 12 team ppr league?

Antonio Brown, not even close.

 

[venom lyrix]

Are you guys not concerned about MJD holding out? Especially if it really drags, you dont see it potentially being like Chris Johnson's situation last yr?

edit:
Quote:

Exactly, I drafted CJ last yr and got burned. I dont think Maurice will have that kind of yr but I would still be hesistant to take him in the 1st round.

Yes, MJD will not be on any of my teams this year, he has no desire to play for JAX, they don't wanna pay him, I think that situation is irreparable even if he comes back for game 1

I'd like to say this to everyone asking people to rank their teams....stop.

Matthew Berry said it best on his podcast when he told people to stop asking him because all people want to hear is how good they did. It doesn't matter if it's true or not that's all they want to hear. If you tell them their team sucks, or they have holes here and there, they will get mad and defensive.

Now that may not be the case all the time, but that's the mentality of most people.

Just putting that out there.

 

[checks grossman]

I think I'm down to Calvin Johnson/Arian Foster/Stafford 4th overall...thoughts? suggestions?

and JPZ, we're on the same page, I'm targeting Gronk/Graham at 17 as well

what kind of league and what kind of scoring?

Standard scoring - Foster

PPR - CJ/Staff

if TD's are worth more than 4pts - Stafford

and you picked those three, assuming 1-2-3 is Brady, Brees, Rodgers?

 

[checks grossman]

10 teamer, PPR + bonuses. Im certain those will be picks 1 thru 3. My only concern is when to pull a trigger on RB if I go CJ in the first.

It's my first year doing FF, but I believe TD's are worth 6 pts in this league...not 100% sure on that though.

 

[omgitswes]

Doing a free league for the first time. Really have no idea what I'm doing.
our draft is tonight

 

[stringer bell 32]

Antonio Brown, not even close.

I believe Jackson is a prime bounce back candidate and add in that the Antonio Brown hype machine is at an all time high. Jackson's Yahoo ADP is 61 to Browns 62.

Not saying I disagree but I think its a little closer.

not me, im a newb to football so i could careless, if someone tells me i did bad then i will try and do better next draft.

 

[atransta]

damn man SMH at myself for not knowing MJD was holding out. I gotta try and flip him

 

[stringer bell 32]

I don't see myself drafting Jordy Nelson in any of my teams.

Value too TD dependent to take in the 2nd round

 

[JCMojica24]

12 team league and I picked 2nd. I think i did fairly well.

[kc246888]

im in a 10 team ppr 6 points for pass td.. the top 3 rbs are going to be gone and rodgers too. how would you draft 5-7? in addition if you assume brady 5 and brees 6 who would you draft 7? 

 

[ag 47]

Doing an auction league for a 2nd straight year, did terrible last year. Any good websites that are auction league centric for advice, mocks, etc?

Please answer this man's question. Auction draft :x

 

[bearclawd]

IMO, had a pretty good draft in a standard scoring PPR league.

15 teams though with 1 "bye" team. :x

GG on cuffin' Bush, very necessary with certain RB's.

 

[jpzx]

Be blunt, be honest... let me know what you think. This is the ONLY league I do. Had the #4 pick...

QB- Peyton Manning
RB- Lesean McCoy
RB- Maurice Jones-Drew
WR- Jordy Nelson
WR- Desean Jackson
WR- Miles Austin
TE- Jimmy Graham
K- Garrett Hartley
DEF- Houston Texans

BN- Philip Rivers
BN- Jonathan Stewart
BN- Toby Gerhart
BN- Andrew Luck
BN- Ben Tate
BN- Rashad Jennings

 

[bearclawd]

How many teams are in your league? MJD, Graham, and Shady are all first/early second round picks. :x

I think Peyton is risky and I don't think you should've drafted Luck. Maybe drop him and Gerhart and pick up some backup WR's IMO.

B minus of a draft

Heavy loaded on RB, despite having two clear number 1 RBs
Super thin on WR - Miles Austin already having hamstring problems and I'm not a fan of Jordy Nelson
Luck and Manning should have been enough to get you through the season, don't understand the Rivers pick

 

[jpzx]

10 teams.

Couldn't believe I was able to get Jones-Drew at #17, or Graham at #24.

Miles Austin also dropped to me.

Rivers is a depth pick and will be used in a trade.

Yeah you're probably right I could definitely use more WR depth, even one backup ... it's just when I was picking there were so many more RBs I liked than WRs. That FootballGuys.com Team Rater said I had a 80% chance of making the playoffs.

 

[jewseejay]

so I made that trade for Bush Sneaker...

traded ShonnGreen/GregLittle for IsaacRedman/MichaelBush

justtt found out about Redmans MRI after he accepted... smh, still happy tho... ill scoop rainey if need be
