[quote=Chico23231;930467]7th round keeper? hell yeah. he is fragile but the value is for 7th round is too good to pass up imo. take him.[/quote]

Chico, even if he doesn't play the first couple of weeks, I don't see another RB on the Chargers somehow taking away his starting role once he is healthy. Fantasy Football is a marathon not a sprint, so at round 7 he is still a good value I think.

I just wanted a reality check from someone. Now I'm reading that Mathews wasn't even in a sling yesterday at practice, so maybe his "break" was actually a fracture and not as bad as a clean break would make it out. I'm just concerned because I've read that clavicles can take 12 weeks to heal, how do these guys come up with 4-6 weeks?

You have the needed depth at RB cause McFadden first round is a hell of a gamble. Cook is a nice sleeper.

I always like drafting at the end of the round

How do most of your leagues do scoring? This year I dropped TDs to 4 points because I was getting annoyed at TD vultures. I added bonuses for topping 100, 150 and 200 yards for RB/WR and for throwing certain numbers for QBs as well. This way you get rewarded for great performances versus people like Jacobs who used to have 5 yards and 3 TDs.

td vultures?

mathews is soooo damn frustrating. i drafted him as a rookie and traded him cause he's always hurt and tolbert kept taking the goaline carries. now the job's his and he gets hurt again!!!!!!

[quote=scowan;926689]I'm in a keeper league where we keep two guys and I will be keeping Ryan Mathews and Marshawn Lynch. I drafted them in the middle to late rounds last year and they came on strong at the end. Here is my question to you guys.... I have the 3rd pick and Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Calvin Johnson are non-keepers in my league (you can't keep last years 1st rounds and they were all first rounders) which guy would you pick, knowing my RB situation?[/quote]

I'm biased here but you can't go wrong w/ Brady as I've now kept him in my league for 10 years. One thing I like about NE is they play their starters til week 16. Not only that but no matter what the score is, they keep running their offense.

Keep Antonio Brown, drop Mendenhall, he's done.

no yardage, medium to high td counts at year end. Alstott, Kuhn, etc.

I wouldnt have changed it, different lil different strategy keeps it fresh. TD to 3 or 4 point only for QBs when throwing the ball. Every person who scores should get 6 imo.

Cooley! :headbange

Re: Fantasy Football 2012 Thread
 

We dropped our TD passing points to 4 instead of 6 a few years ago, to lessen the impact of the stud QBs, but every other TD is 6 points. But I'm finding that 4 points for passing TDs is more common than being the exception anymore.

Re: Fantasy Football 2012 Thread
 

Im thinking about moving the metrics of our pay league. Extra point: 5 points, field goals over 40 yards: 10 point, under 40 yards: 7 points

Its time Rob Bironas is taken first overall in a fantasy draft...where stud Kickers rule the league
