    Default The "I Have A Fantasy Football Question" Thread

    I started this over at the 'Freak, and it was well received, so with fantasy football coming up again here, I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to make another.

    The whole idea is to put all waiver, signing, trade, keeper, or whatever other roster questions in this thread to get feedback from other people.

    For example, I might ask: "Who should I start, Brandon Jacobs (vs. WAS) or Maurice Jones-Drew (@IND)?" You kind folks can then give me an answer.

    This will just provide a central place for FF discussion and help keep the forums cleaner.

    If this idea is not a good one, or if there is already a thread like this, let me know.

    I'd start MJD. Better match up.

    I think it's a great idea.

    So the problem I run into every season is this one... I am always battling injuries at running back, and none are usually available. I drafted Peyton Manning in the 1st instead of a running back, and although he provided good points, my running backs got injured and then I was S.O.L. It seems you can find receivers anywhere. I was thinking of making my 1st 3 picks running backs this year to keep this from happening again. Any thoughts?

    Good idea. You won't get a tier 1 QB, probably a tier 2. Problem with that is, then you don't get a WR til the 4th round.

    Luckily you can usually get solid WR production from the free agent list if you jump on it. There's always somebody that slips through the cracks to the later rounds or FA. Last year I got Greg Jennings in round 9, and Brandon Marshall in round 12 or something.

    I almost always make my first 2 or 3 picks RB. Totally worth it in my opinion.

    Definitely your first pick should usually be a running back, and I would suggest your first two, but I've picked RB for the first three rounds before, and I was set at RB, but I was weaker at the other positions by waiting until the 4th to start filling them.

    I would stick with the first two rounds, unless there is some tremendous value somewhere.

    By the third round the RB's left aren't that impressive usually, and you start missing out on WRs and others if you wait any longer. Just my opinion.

    Last season I happen to win my league 455.00 bucks and this is how I picked and did the same this year..
    rb
    rb
    wr
    te
    wr
    wr
    qb
    rb
    wr
    rb
    def
    k...
    You always pick up a lot of points with running backs grab 2 good one fast then grab a great wr there will still be alot on the board then go TE they really help out a lot antoino g. or tony g. should both be on the board still if not both one will be..then hit WR hard......you should come out with a great team...and for the def which you could pick up early if you want at 7 or wait the vikings really racked up the points for me...big time..

    as somebody else mentioned, it really depends on the scoring system for the league in question. . . more often than not, i will take RBs with my first three picks, but don't get too carried away and pass up a much higher vaue at wide receiver or quarterback. . . the league is moving more and more to RBBC, and it's harder to find backs that'll get enough carries from week to week to really justify a high pick. . .

    really, the best thing you can do is handcuff a team's top backup to any RB with a questionable injury history. . . if adrian peterson is your top pick, it's probably smarter to draft chester taylor as your 3rd or 4th back than a part-time back for another team (say, deangelo williams, or julius jones last year). . . if i take clinton portis, ladell betts moves up my rankings. . . if you aren't able to draft the backup, try to trade for him early in the season while your starter is still healthy and the backup's value is minimal. . . of course you usually don't have enough roster space to protect everybody, but it's really advisable with top RBs-- especially if the team has a good line/good overall offensive talent, or if one of your top starters is a notable injury concern. . . .


    if you have questions regarding where somebody should be drafted, this average draft position chart can be helpful. . . of course you have to draft the way YOU want (it's your team), but knowing where guys are going on average can be helpful when planning your strategy. . . manning's ADP right now is 18, which means that in most leagues you won't need to draft him in the first round. . . i just did my first mock draft of the season a few nights ago, and i got manning with the 17th pick. . . i went back for RBs in the 3rd and the 6th, giving me a lineup of manning, steven jackson, jamal lewis, jonathon stewart, chester taylor, kevin smith, plex burress, brandon marshall, santonio holmes, jericho cotchery, etc etc (this was for a ten team league). . . not everyone would be comfortable with a rookie as their 3rd back, but i'm perfectly happy with stewart-- i would have liked getting deangelo williams also, and in a real league i'd try to trade for him, but that's a team i'd be comfortable starting a season with. . .

    “When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”

    Been mockdrafting and noted there are few top tier wr and few tier 2 wr while you can find a lot of rb3's (feature backs of lesser teams) mid rounds. the best teams i thought were the rb,rb,wr or even rb,wr,rb. the qb,rb and then rb,qb were uglier. never tried wr in 1..inconthievable

    Besides i think last years rb inuries was a bit of a fluke...too many

    Alright, I'm thinking I might want to make a trade to shore up my RBs or WRs. I'd be willing to part with Cutler or Warner, because I think value can be easily found at the QB spot.

    Here are my QBs, WRs, and HBs. Tell me what I need to improve, and who you would get rid of to do so. This is a 12-team league, 16-man rosters.

    QB
    Jay Cutler
    Kurt Warner

    RB
    Frank Gore
    Earnest Graham
    Ricky Williams
    Kevin Smith
    Andre Hall

    WR
    Anquan Boldin
    Brandon Marshall
    Donte Stallworth
    James Jones
    Eddie Royal
    Kevin Walter

    Thanks!

    I'm not sure. I like your team. If you do make a trade, i would trade Warner (since he may not start for the entire season) and one of your upside WRs/RBs for a sure thing #2 RB/WR. Your WRs may be weak while Marshall is out, but Marshall and Boldin is a beastly duo at WR. I wouldn't do anything to drastic though...like I said, i like your team.
    I NO LONGER support Rahim Moore.

    Can someone else rate my team please. Harold was nice enough to do so, but i havent had any else. I am kinda looking for several opinions.


    *my team is back on page 1*- I will try to cut and past it here.



    -ehh it didnt work. here it is again.

    10 team league i picked 9th, not a snake draft. 6 pts all tds rush,rec,pass

    1pt 25 yards rush/rec
    1pt 50 yards pass after 200 yards
    we have to draft exactely 2qb,4rb,5wr,2te,2d,2k
    and we have to start exactely 1qb,2rb,3wr,1te/k/d.

    qb-brees and cutler
    rb-gore,lewis,lendale white,jordan
    wr-marshall,boldin,anothony gonzales,chambers,robert meachum
    te-cooley,mercedes lewis
    def-philly,balt
    k-josh brown,prater.

    thanks!
    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    Thanks! I sent out a feeler right now trying to see if I can trade Warner straight up for Roy Williams (the guy has no backup QB, and Derek Anderson is his starter). Hoping he might be a little uneasy because of the concussion...

    I would probably try that trade you also mentioned, Warner + Jones/Walter for Solid #2.

    i agree with honz, you're in pretty solid shape-- maybe try to trade warner and stallworth for a better #3 WR. . . i think you'll be fine at RB, that gives you enough starting backs to play matchups (especially when andre hall takes over our starting spot ). . . .



    U29, sorry bro but i don't rate teams-- even my own. . . that team looks fine, though. . . .
