The most homerific team I have ever drafted, I know, but I still feel pretty good. We start 2 rbs, 2 wrs and a flex wr/te.

12 team leagues are hard but you did well I think. I also have Garcon in my 10 team league but drafted A.J. Green and Fitzgerald as well.

I need some advice from the warpath crew here on whom to start Week 1 now that this preseason crap is over. In a Flex position should I start Daryl Richardson RB Rams against the Cardinals, Garcon against the Eagles, or Ryan Mathews against the Texans. Projections tell me Richardson, so why am I leaning towards Garcon?

[Kindoy]

Does anyone think Dexter McCluster is worth a roster spot over Sanu, Riley Cooper or Blaine Gabbert? It's 20 team PPR

I would drop Gabbert but there aren't enough starting qb's around the league to where everyone would have a backup that plays so that's his value to me.

[Chico23231]

Nope

Did anyone draft Daryl Richardson this year? I drafted him for depth and to use in my Flex position but I'm struggling with what to do this first week.

Non-PPR, 2 WR and a Flex. I have A.J. Green, L Fitzgerald, Garcon and Daryl Richardson. Two of the receivers need to start, but then do I start the third over Richardson? Or do you guys always start a RB in a flex if you have one?

I believe Richardson will be the starter in St. Louis. I guess it will all depend how well Fitz will do with Carson Palmer throwing the ball to him.

Ryan Matthews or Ben Tate in the Flex position this weekend? Matthews got Houston, which is tough

I think you have to go Tate over Mathews. First, Mathews has a tough matchup like you've mentioned and second, how many carries do we all realistically think Arian Foster is going to get in Week 1?

Ben Tate is a better RB than Mathews if the number of carries is the same, and I really think the Chargers will be playing from behind early and that will mean passing and "Danny Woodhead time" for the unfortunate Ryan Mathews owners (of which I am one as well)

I did an auction draft for the first time last night. 3 hours! Not sure that was worth it, but it was fun and different from a standard draft as well.


Let the games begin!!!

[scowan]

I love Auction drafts, but I cant get my guys to do one. I think you have to have real die hard players to do one. You will find guys who study for their drafts like they would the ACT, and other guys who show up unprepared picking Percy Harvin and Aaron Hernadez. The unprepared guy can luck into a straight pick draft but he will fail miserably in an auction draft.

What sleepers did people grab this year and put on bench or in the line up? Couple of mine:

1. Jordan Cameron TE - Norv and his TEs, loves them. I got Vernon Davis on alot of my teams, Jordan is his back up in most leagues.
2. Kai Forbath - No sleeper here, but if he plays the entire season on a good offense and continues his hot preseason start, he could be a top 5 kicker.
3. Ryan Mathews - Now that the hype is over, snagged him in a couple leagues 8-9 rounds for bench/flex spot. Solid preseason.
4. TY Hilton - Able to get him on the bench in a couple leagues, like the playmaking ability and the fact Luck and him seem to be on the same page.
5. Ben Tate - Foster just not right and has a injury history. Tate is coming into his prime, Kub already said 30% of the snaps when Foster is starting regardless.
6. D Jax - I got him on 1 bench and a 3rd starting WR in a couple other leagues. Coming back from injury and new coach pushed his stock down, but they are thin at WR and Kelly offense will score.
7. Josh Gordon - Another Brown? Like the speed and the fact he dropped in ranking due to his 2 game suspension. Norv offense and got on the bench in a couple leagues.


Who you got?

[That Guy]

i've grabbed kai a lot. helu is a guy that you can take if you have a free spot in the last round. if alfmo goes down, he'll be the feature back here. we don't do time shares. and unlike some other backups, in our offense, the yards will keep piling up.

obviously you don't want alfmo getting hurt at all, but...

josh gordon is a decent last round type guy too.

My sleeper pickups:

TY Hilton
Cordarelle Patterson
Kenbrell Thompkins
Tavon Austin (not a sleeper but is a rookie)
Giovanni Bernard
Shane Vereen

Yeah, I got Kenbrell on a couple teams on the bench. I think he is a little bit too much hyped. Got see how he puts it together on the field with Brady. I think we will know just after a couple games. If he doesnt produce, I expect him to see the bench quickly in New England.

I like Bernard too.

[Monkeydad]

He and Patterson are big gambles...could be boom or bust but Worth the risk for a month or so on the bench. Byes won't be until about Week 5 at the earliest for my starters so I can afford to stash some of these guys on the bench to see if they pan out. Thompkins specifically could be huge...Brady is his QB and they're desperate for WR production. Patterson has huge talent (1st Round pick) but Ponder is his QB so that could ruin him. Aside from Jennings, he doesn't have to compete with much talent on the Vikes at WR.

I think Bernard and Hilton and locks for big years. Vereen is probably the most productive backup in the NFL along with Tate. He's a backup but he'll be on the field plenty.

Ridley is going to be a monster this year, they need to run more than in the past since Brady has very limited targets this year.

[skinsfan69]

Who would u start this week? Brady or Cutler? Thinking about benching Brady.
