10 team IDP league, standard scoring plus random bonus pts. D/ST lose an extra 10 points if they give up 40+ pts or over 550 yrds total

#6 Pick

QB - Foles/Romo
RB - Lacy, Laveon Bell, Reggie Bush, Ben Tate, Fred Jackson
WR - Dez, Fitzgerald, Garcon, Roddy White, Benjamin
TE - Ertz/Rudolph
D/ST - Chiefs
K - Dawson
DL - Robert Quinn
LB - Von Miller
DB - Earl Thomas

I feel like I had a great draft, but I could upgrade the TE & D/ST positions. I ended up taking the best players available at the time and pretty much saved QB & TE till later on in the draft once those stud were gone. A LOT of guys fell as u can tell (Tate, Garcon, White).

Thoughts on a TE I should go after in case Ertz is a bust? Or should i sit tight? Really want Witten but the only other Cowboys fan in the league isn't budging

 

[sickickz23]

Standard league

We're all HS/college friends, this particular league has been in play since like '08. It's been devoid of shenanigans like this up until now, but when I addressed the situation, the orchestrator of that BS (who's 1 of my 3 best friends) was like "I'm using it to bait ___ && ___ into reaching in trades for them. You don't think I'd be that cheap do you?"

*CAMRON.GIF*

He also reiterated that he can't let things go, && that he was harboring past frustrations about being eliminated from the playoffs in previous years (even tho it's usually me who knocks him out every year lol). Even took out my other friend's starting QB when he went against him just for fun in '08...in the 3rd place game at that

Mind you, he reached && took Jordan Reed in the 3rd round, leaving Percy Harvin as his #1 WR. All because he didn't want someone else to get him.

Ridiculous. I'm CM Punking this league tho, winning the championship && leaving the night of.

You guys sound like a group of idiots

If someone took a player off of my team like that I would drop everyone and get my money back

You're good at TE. Both of those guys are projected to have pretty nice years. Ertz is a big RZ target and by all accounts Rudolph is supposed to have a big role under Norv Turner's offense. While some ppl think Foles will regress, I think you're looking good with Romo as a backup. He tends to put up big #s in fantasy and has a solid line in front of him this year.

 

[mczoot]

So Fred Jackson is the better play over Spiller now?

I got both but man I wish I would have left Spiller alone

I took him in the 6th

I think its great to have both. Spiller should be a great 6th round value. I think he's finally healthy

I hate when yardage counts against defenses.

As for your team, looks great! I would sit tight. Maybe swap defenses, but otherwise you got some great values everywhere. REALLY like your IDP guys

Standard league

I get Alfred Morris

He gets Julian Edelman

Yes or no

lol. of course you take that

Long answer: hell yes

The irony...as only an idiot would make insinuations about someone due to a FF story; especially when the developments of which don't even directly involve that person.

Take your dumbass back to the tennis thread where you belong. Remember to keep your wrist locked when swinging your racquet...although, not bending your wrist will take some consistent, dedicated practice on your part, as it's more than likely a new concept for you...&& as they say, old habits die hard...

Godspeed, guy...whomever you are.

*Apologies for that brief derailment, FF brethren; back to relevant FF talk with relevant NT FF'ers*

If someone took a player off of my team like that I would drop everyone and get my money back

No money involved thankfully lol, but I def. second what you're saying. I haven't responded since he told me that he'd be keeping Brown unless someone makes a good offer for him, but I will most certainly be putting an end to this today.

Also, the team being victimized is the only one that doesn't have an owner since one of the guys couldn't play this year. He knows very, very well not to do that with my team or any of the other ones that are watched && managed very regularly. But still, **** is just flagrant, man, especially for someone who thrives on great but fair competition like myself. I can win or lose with class, as long as the outcome is a legitimate one.

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

Thanks fellas

I'm not high at all on Alfred Morris this year, but it's standard scoring so it still makes sense.

 

[abc1234]

I can see Alfred Morris being this years Trent Richardson

 

[flightman]

Toby Gerhart or Fred Jackson at my flex spot? (Standard Scoring)

 

[flightman]

I can see Alfred Morris being this years Trent Richardson

Huh? Morris has shown more THIS preseason then Richardson has ever shown. Morris is a talented runner with elite vision and above average open field quickness. He's a lock for 1200+ yards and 7 TD's

 

[Retto]

^ Exactly. Dude produces in both wins && losses.

 

[nike4kja05]

Toby Gerhart or Fred Jackson at my flex spot? (Standard Scoring)

Who are your starters? I like Toby because he will be getting the bulk but I feel like Philly is just going to clobber them and then they'll end up just throwing all game.

 

[champcruthik]

Should I then start Heath Miller over Pitta then do you think?

Yes, just for Week 1. Heath could nab 60-65 balls on the season quietly.

PPR pick one as my flex

Chris Johnson vs Raiders
Fred Jackson vs Bears
Cecil Shorts vs Eagles

Freddy, CJ2K, Shorts.

So Fred Jackson is the better play over Spiller now?

I got both but man I wish I would have left Spiller alone

I took him in the 6th

No, Spiller will have the better season. Even in PPR formats. Breakaway speed, threat to score every time he touches the rock.

You're straight at TE. Ertz is a candidate to nab 70 catches. Rudolph is a TD guy. You're fine.

Standard league

He gets Julian Edelman

Yes or no

Take it and run. Morris is worse in PPR and Edelman is better in PPR. You're playing standard. Hell yes.

 

[champcruthik]

Toby Gerhart or Fred Jackson at my flex spot? (Standard Scoring)

I like Freddy for this week because of Chicago's run D. J-Ville could go down big and be forced to throw.

 

[venom lyrix]

I dropped Hawkins for Kelce. Gonna trade Bennett to someone.

Smart

I had a dream last night that Matt Ryan threw 8 TD's in the opener. Make sure to start him.

Would be awesome - had my gf draft Ryan in her girls only draft yesterday

You guys ever have commissioners in your league veto trades because others in the league think it's unfair?

Happened to me last night. I sent Torrey Smith, Vincent Jackson and Pierre Garcon for Adrian P and Mike Evans - and everyone ******* about it, so the commish veto'd it.

Should I threatened to drop out? Yeah, I'm tight.

Vetoing any trade unless it's the most absurd thing in the world like Peyton for Jonathan Stewart is wrong.

No person or commish should ever veto a trade. A trade is between 2 parties - end of story. If one guy wants to give up players x yz for player a that's their right

 

[venom lyrix]

I'm not high at all on Alfred Morris this year, but it's standard scoring so it still makes sense.

He's a strong WR who just needs to get the ball on the goal line. Washington is said to be throwing the ball to him more this year too

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Richard Rodgers getting the start at TE tonight... "project TE" getting starting burn over Quarless in his first ever game?  MM must really like the kid.

 

[timsamuel7]

Guys should I start Cam Newton or Andy Dalton this week? The only reason I'm even asking this question is because of Cam's gametime decision..

 

[flightman]

Who are your starters? I like Toby because he will be getting the bulk but I feel like Philly is just going to clobber them and then they'll end up just throwing all game.

Adrian Peterson and Demarco Murray. I could plug Vincent Jackson in but I prefer running with 3 RB's.

Jags could fall behind really quickly but Jax players are known for some nice garbage time stats. I feel like its a toss up now that Fred Jackson is a clear cut starter and goal line back.

EDIT

That Chicago runD is extra suspect so its makes the decision a tad bit more difficult
