Thread: Yes, I Know its Fantasy Football, But........

    Default Yes, I Know its Fantasy Football, But........

    http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/tools/p...&startIndex=15

    Seems like ESPN's FF Rankings put your very own TT ahead of Jay Cutler (and KO for that matter) for next year. They are mostly banking on his rushing ability and knack for finding the endzone to make him a viable option for FF enthusiasts.

    Tebow #17
    Cutler #18
    Orton #26

    Take it for what it is, as I know there will be some who will quickly jump on this thread and say "So what, its fantasy football," but I thought it was an interesting enough conversational piece to share.

    I'm definitely going to try to scoop him up in the 3rd round in my league...Hopefully he'll last that long.

    In case you were wondering, Brady Quinn comes in at #133 behind the likes of Colt Brennan and John David Booty.

    Commence Tebow>Cutler>Orton debate....

    You know I am in an interesting predicament this year for FF.

    My current roster is

    rodgers, tebow
    shady mccoy, and 3 scrubs
    vincent jax, greg jennings, wayne, wallace, mike williams-tampa


    I have to keep 3 this year. So I was going to go with rodgers, jennings and mccoy.



    Which will put Tebers in the open market. My problem is, there are 2 teams that have CRAP for QBs- Im talking like henne and campbell. So Tebow will REALLY help out their team. And Tebow scored more points for me in the final three weeks than anyone I think.

    Buuuut, I would also have to grab TT early and lost out on a good player. My problem consists of nabbing tebow to not help myself, but hurt the opponents or just roll with rodgers and get a player to help myself like a RB!


    I love Fantasy, as for your thread topic, the guy flat out runs for scores and yards and can pass too....He is going to be MONEY imo! I would rate him above them also...for Fantasy purposes.
    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

    All that says is that if you're in a 10 or 12 team league, you shouldn't be starting any of them and you certainly shouldn't be keeping any of them either.

    Hmmm....interesting predicament indeed. I like the strategy of keeping Tebow to hurt other teams (especially if they are banking on Chad Henne to give them points). I would definitely keep Tebow and start him on Rodgers bye week, and also for insurance purposes (I think Rodgers missed a game or two last year).

    As far as Mike Williams...I wouldn't call him a scrub. I think he's going to be a beast next year with Freeman tossing strikes to him. Sounds like you might have a pretty good team other than your RB position (which sounds pretty weak if McCoy is your #1 guy). Rodgers should be enough to make up for that, though.

    *Edit: I see that you were referring to your other RBs as scrubs, not the WRs you listed*

    I missed my draft and checked today, I got Brady, C2K, LT, Vincent Jax, our own Prater, and Cedric Benson. Some scrubs were traded for Visanthe Shiancoe, and Jay Freely (the AZ punter who beat us).

    You might get bit in the @$$ on C2K...I'm hearing rumors of a holdout with him.

    Fantasy Drafts already? Man, I would join another league if they are drafting in July, especially in a season where there hasn't been an OFF season yet. Thats horrible.

    My big money leagues we hold the draft on either the friday or sat before the season starts. That way we know all the movement and players who get injured in TC...
    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).

    Yeah I was thinking the same thing...Awfully early to be holding a fantasy draft.

    We do them at someones house or rent out a space at a sports bar. Two years ago we did it at hooters....They gave us a private room, discount on drinks and wings....and we did our draft. It was sexy.

    exactly. All my leagues draft one week before the season starts, so that you have a MUCH MUCH better idea (knowledge) as to where a player is even going to be, and if he's injured before the season starts.

    I know Tebow was the best QB the last 3 games of the season for FF. He had more FF points then Bree,s Brady and Manning (I had Tebow as my starter). I looked for him in my leagues and he is gone, wanted a backup to Brady.

    I would never draft in a money league before September, and at the latest in very late August. And that's in a normal year.
