Didn't replace Stephen Jackson in time; didn't get a good game out of Drew Brees. Just take this pen and stab me in the heart.
― Mr. Snrub, Sunday, 27 December 2009 22:40 (fourteen years ago) link
I swear to God I will never even THINK about drafting Drew Brees or any other quarterback until round three EVER AGAIN.
― Mr. Snrub, Sunday, 27 December 2009 22:41 (fourteen years ago) link
PPR league, snake draft and I'm drafting second. The guy drafting first already said he's going with Chris Johnson. That means I can either draft AP (super consistent excellent player in every way) or Ray Rice (also excellent plus tons of catches making him especially valuable in a PPR league). What do I do?
― Mordy, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:07 (thirteen years ago) link
rice had 35 more receptions last year so what like 2 pts/week on catches? check the rest of your scoring and see if rice is really offering an appreciable advantage, because ap is the better player.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:11 (thirteen years ago) link
AP will be even better if Favre doesn't play, but yeah... I'd still pick AP.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:21 (thirteen years ago) link
What would they have given you in terms of total points in 2009 using your league's current settings?
― no gut busting joke can change history (polyphonic), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:50 (thirteen years ago) link
Ray Rice did 326 and AP did 331. (MJD did 334 and CJ did 405)
― Mordy, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:55 (thirteen years ago) link
Do you have a penalty for fumbles? I think there's a pretty good chance that AP will fumble less than he did last year.
― no gut busting joke can change history (polyphonic), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:57 (thirteen years ago) link
or at the very least, he won't lose 6 of his 7 fumbles like he did last year.
― no gut busting joke can change history (polyphonic), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:58 (thirteen years ago) link
Yes penalty for fumbles.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:59 (thirteen years ago) link
Ray Rice only had 8 touchdowns last year? Huh.
― no gut busting joke can change history (polyphonic), Thursday, 5 August 2010 00:00 (thirteen years ago) link
I think I'd definitely go with AP now that I think about it.
yeah
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 5 August 2010 00:01 (thirteen years ago) link
rice is a good player but i wouldn't be surprised to see him regress
Also, the Ravens will probably feature the passing game more heavily than last year now that they have Boldin and the rookie TEs, whereas the Vikings could hypothetically feature it less if Favre retires (lol).
― no gut busting joke can change history (polyphonic), Thursday, 5 August 2010 00:02 (thirteen years ago) link
Now I've gotta figure out if I can take 2 WR's in 2nd + 3rd round (something like Steve Smith, DJax, Miles Austin, Colston range quality probably).
― Mordy, Thursday, 5 August 2010 00:08 (thirteen years ago) link
should be fine--how big is the league?
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 5 August 2010 01:20 (thirteen years ago) link
12 teams
― Mordy, Thursday, 5 August 2010 01:21 (thirteen years ago) link
hmm. i've never played ppr--is there any valid strategy that involves taking an elite wideout with a really early pick?
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 5 August 2010 01:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Christ, is this something I have to worry about already?

So this is weird: http://sports.espn.go.com/fantasy/football/ffl/story?page=nfldk2k10mock2
ESPN did a mock-draft in a 12 team PPR league and Ray Rice and MJ-D both got picked before AP.
― Mordy, Friday, 6 August 2010 01:42 (thirteen years ago) link
ppl overthinking the ppr aspect imo
― call all destroyer, Friday, 6 August 2010 03:37 (thirteen years ago) link
For the curious minded, I drafted today. Got: Brett Favre, Adrian Peterson, LeSean McCoy, Miles Austin, Steve Smith (Carolina), Vernon Davis, Mike Wallace, Lee Evans, Devin Aromashodu, Arian Foster, Eli Manning, Early Doucet, Correll Buckhalter, Laurent Robinson, Steelers D/ST and some kicker -- Tynes maybe. nb not listed in order of draft.

seems like it'll be an all or nothing year for you

btw, this is for the 12-team PPR.

has anyone tried locking waivers/free agents from sunday-tuesday?
good: means you don't have to watch every second of every game waiting to jump on an injured stars replacementbad: if your player goes down sunday morning, you won't be able to replace unless there's one on your bench already

So my two really proud drafts this season: I got Arian Foster really deep into the draft and now it looks like he's going to be the #1 RB for the Texans. (I actually grabbed Slaton really late in the draft in his rookie season too -- so maybe I just have good luck with Texan RBs.) I also drafted Favre around the 10th round and now it looks like he's playing -- which actually leads me to my fantasy football advice request.
I've now got Favre + Eli Manning both on my team. Seems like a bit of overkill -- I didn't even want a backup QB, let alone two starters sitting on my roster. I'm thinking about trading Eli to someone but 1) should I wait a week or two into the season and make sure Favre is really back to form (and his ankle isn't really bothering him?) and 2) If I do trade Eli, what do you think I can get for him? I was thinking about trading him and some player with minor upside (like maybe Laurent Robinson or Correll Buckhalter) for a real backup QB (like Vince Young) and a mid-stud RB/WR -- doable? There are some teams with some really shitty starting QBs I think I could target (especially if I wait until week 2 when they start to recognize how shitty their QB situation is).
― Mordy, Wednesday, 18 August 2010 16:23 (thirteen years ago) link
You should wait unless there is someone who you think is in desperate need of a starter and has someone you want.

have fun with favre or underdog it with eli???
― bnw, Thursday, 9 September 2010 00:09 (thirteen years ago) link
My first thought was that Eli's less likely to get his face pushed in this week, but that's just me being an NO homer.
― Donovan Dagnabbit (WmC), Thursday, 9 September 2010 00:20 (thirteen years ago) link
Even with Sharper out for the Saints, they're still likely to pick him off a couple times. Also, who's he got to throw to besides Harvin?
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 9 September 2010 00:25 (thirteen years ago) link
Eli has, like, 20 good receivers in his arsenal.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 9 September 2010 00:26 (thirteen years ago) link
for week one? I'd likely go with UNSTOPPABLE

Gonna end up with over 155 points this week and still losing the week's game because the guy I'm playing against scored the unheard of 184! (Top two scores in the league, just my luck to be playing against the very top score.)

ADVICE TIME
in a league w/ two starting QBs, i'm trying to decide between a concussed matt moore vs tampa (i also have steve smith) or a non-concussed jason campbell vs the saints
(for the record this decision is only being made because my second qb drafted was ol rapelisberger)
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 18 September 2010 02:41 (thirteen years ago) link
er, jason campbell vs THE RAMS
Campbell.
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 18 September 2010 03:14 (thirteen years ago) link
I expect mcfadden to destroy rams all day. campbell should get some points in the wake.
― bnw, Saturday, 18 September 2010 03:29 (thirteen years ago) link
hope so. i picked him up this week
