If it's your flex, I think Boone has got the best upside there, with a decent floor.
I think so as well, I have him slotted in the flex at the moment, I think the only way I will change it is if Mattison is listed as healthy on Sunday
-
Looks like many have the same dilemma as I do. I was able to snag Boone off waivers. Id really like to play him at the flex, but have Mostert, A. Peterson, Slayton, Tate and C. Samuel as options as well.
-
So i need some advice for my flex for next week (1 PPR). I have:
Slayton
Tate
Mostert
C. Samuel
and possibly Perriman if claim is successful

I have to say this year turned out way better than expected. I had some very close weeks (some wins by a point or two) but finished 11-1-1 on the year. This got me a bye in the first round of the playoff and It is looking good for me to go to the championship next week.
I currently have a 64 point lead in a full PPR league. I am done and but my opponent still has Brees and Michael Thomas (fingers crossed the Colts D holds up well). If I come through, next week does not set up well for me to win. I would play the number 3 seed who has been coming on strong the last 4-5 weeks. However, 2nd still puts me in the money.
This is a keeper league and my keeper was David Johnson, he was great through the first 8 or so weeks but I actually dropped him last week (he served his purpose I suppose).
Those that I originally drafted that remain on my team are as follows:
Hopkins
D. Henry
C. Carson
K. Allen
R. Wilson
Rodgers
C. Samuels
Pats D
I was able to get Mark Andrews on waivers in Week 2 and have streamed kickers and my flex spot most of the year to round out my team.
I will need to decide between Hopkins, Carson and Henry for my keeper next year but not until right before the draft in 2020.
Thanks to everyone for their help this year. This has been a fun one.
Despite stellar games from both Brees and Thomas, I snuck it out 124-121 and will be playing in the championship. It has been about 6 years since I even had the opportunity to win it all, so I am pumped!!!

I've capped myself to two leagues a year, but I too am in the Semi's in both. In one league I finished 5th, but 3rd in PF. In another league I finished second and 1st in PF (nobody was even close to me, only team over 2,000 points). Although experience helps, seeking advice from around the internet has helped me the most. Possibly none more than this group of stellar guys in this thread.
So I have got to say to @chad72, @Jared Cisneros, @John Waylon, @teganslaw, @Hoo-Hoo-Hoo-Hoosiers, @CR91, @Shinobi, @runthepost, @Virtuoso80, @2006Coltsbestever, @Luck 4 president
and everyone else who participated in this thread. I would love to see how your teams turned out, how many drafted are still on your roster (6 and 4 for my two squads, though I traded two away). Or how about our conversations before and just after drafting. @2006Coltsbestever, howd your strategy turn out? @chad72, @Jared Cisneros that trade we discussed on Page 2, glad I didn't after all. Or my response to @Luck 4 president about fantasy sleepers to reach for. Only Singletary actually has panned out, Kirk and Pettis had potential, and D. Henderson...i'm embarrassed.
Either way, another great Fantasy year with you guys.

I need to play 2 rb and 1 flex in a ppr league for week 10, who which 3 would you play between D. Johnson, Carson, Henry,
J. Samuels and C. Samuel? I also have a waiver claim in for Ronald Jones II, but am last on the wire so not likely to get him. -
For week 5, should I start Mark Andrews again? I keep feeling with his nagging foot injury he will bottom out or leave game when I need him. My other option is Dissly

Regarding 1. I am in the same boat. I like the Kyle Allen - Curtis Samuel connection. I think Carson will still get his touches, but he is not CMC to do well against the Cardinals' run D. CMC is the only one who has scored against them, if I am not mistaken. Mark Ingram could not score, Kerryon Johnson could not score, CMC scored on a run and catch. The Cardinals' goal line defense is outstanding against RBs and they sell out to the run, which is why Will Dissly may catch 1 or 2 TDs this week against them, all 3 TEs that went against them Hockenson, Andrews and Olsen have all caught TD passes. That is why I might tag Chris Carson along with Will Dissly as a flex in my line up in one of my leagues that is half PPR. 1 TD = 12 receptions, if you look at it and though you cannot count on TDs, I am pretty certain a Will Dissly will catch a TD vs Cardinals.
Regarding 2., I am assuming Will Dissly is not available. If he is, stream him, play him and keep Andrews on the bench this week.
Regarding 3., Matt LeFleur brought his Titans' and Falcons' ways of running the ball to take the burden off ARodgers. They are bottom 10 in tempo and pace in the league and have showcased the run more, and their D playing real well factors into it too. However, this TNF, the Eagles' front line is a very hard one to run on, so Rodgers will take to the air and get at least 2 TDs for you, a good week to play him.
I should have 1000% listened to you!!!!!!!
Dissly for Carson was a wash, but he scored a TD exactly like you said. My biggest disappointment...I sat Rodgers and played Russel Wilson...was a last second decision and the reason I may lose this week. I need Mixon to throw up a stinker and revert to week 1-2 form to pull this one out.
My next question, Hopkins has all but disappeared the last 2 weeks...where has my WR1 been?

I remember a lot of hate being thrown Samson Satele’s way.

3 questions:
1. I’m trying to decide my flex for week 4 (PPR league). Pre-waiver my options are C. Carson, Breida, Royce Freeman, Jarvis Landry, Curtis Samuel. I have been playing Carson in my flex but his fumble issues and 4 point, week 3 stinker have me second guessing.
2. Also, any thoughts on Mark Andrews, I was lucky enough to get him on waivers after week one, but the injury appears to have hampered him?
3. Is Aaron Rogers ever going to throw more than 1 TD in a game? Ive finally thrown in the towel on him and put my backup in

Don't carry more than two TE unless you have the luxury of dropping depth in other areas. I would think walker will do better, but this us all speculation because we just don't know about Brissett.
Agreed, I suspected Ebron would have a drop off from last year, even if Luck were in Indy, now I can see an even deeper decline for Ebron. One other thing, Kyle Rudolph is available, would he be a better option?
-
Just finished my 10 team keeper league draft. Im fairly happy with the result.
QB: Rodgers, Wilson
RB: D. Johnson, Henry, C. Carson, Freeman, Breida
WR: Hopkins, K. Allen, M. Williams, Landry, R. Anderson, C. Samuel
TE: Ebron
DEF: Pats
K: Gould
My biggest issues are TE and the fact that most of my players are on bye in weeks 10-12. I was hoping to get some feedback. I thought I might try Ebron out a few weeks and look at the wire if he disappears. Is this a solid strategy or do I need to get someone like D. Walker now? If so, who should i drop?
-
The thread title confused me at first, I thought there were going to be some new jersey jokes or that a player had been granted a trade request to Foxborno.
Voted for PanQuake on this one.

I want to see Andrew Luck walking on the sideline with no visible pain or discomfort

Top tier RB's are always going to get more points than the top tier TEs. Another key point is that the Fantasy point drop of RB's from top tier to next tier is 27%. Given that TE top tier drop off is more, there are far fewer top tier TE's and they produce less than even a second tier RB and WR. Look at last years points:
All of these RB's were ahead of Kelce:
1 Todd Gurley LAR 313.1
2 Saquon Barkley NYG 294.8
3 Christian McCaffrey CAR 278.5
4 Alvin Kamara NO 273.2
5 Ezekiel Elliott DAL 252.2
6 Melvin Gordon LAC 225.5
7 James Conner PIT 225.0
8 Kareem Hunt CLE 204.2
9 Joe Mixon CIN 200.4
10. David Johnson ARI 196.7
All these WR were above Kelce:
1 Tyreek Hill KC 241.0
2 Antonio Brown OAK 219.7
3 Davante Adams GB 218.6
4 DeAndre Hopkins HOU 218.5
5 Julio Jones ATL 212.8
6 Mike Evans TB 198.4
7 Adam Thielen MIN 194.3
In Rounds 1 & 2 you can get 1 of each of these, or possibly even 2 RB's. After these guys, which puts you at the end of Round two and on in to round 3, Kelce will be drafted. However, there were 8 other players last year within 20 points over the course of the season to Kelce (Excluding QBs again). George Kittle was the next closest TE with 21 points behind.
After the 3rd round, you start looking at 100 point drop off from those first and 2nd round RB/WR. Excluding the freak season last year for the top 3 TE's, you don't see that kind of drop off with your TEs. I can afford to lose a top tier TE, I cannot afford to lose a top tier RB and need to have as close to the same production replacement as the RB. Drafting a TE in the later rounds, won't get you that far off.
It's about shoring up your flex and a backup when the inevitable occurs.
Thanks, very helpful. Fingers crossed I draft 6-10 so i can snag two from those lists.
I have noticed a few names getting some love on mock drafts that are surprises. My big question mark is Damien Williams RB for KC, any thoughts on him? Is he a potential star or is he just the default RB because Hunt and Ware are now elsewhere?

Elite TEs don't win championships.
E. Engram, OJ Howard, V. McDonald, J. Cook, D. Njoku, D. Goedert, M. Andrews, C. Herndon, and J. Doyle
Will all be there in rounds 5, 6, 7, 8, and 11+.
I dont mean to be insulting but i feel like i could list a bunch of 2nd tier RBs or WRs (or QBs for that matter) and make the same point.
I understand that waiver wire is where championships are made, but honestly why DJ over Kelce (not trying to be cheeky here) Just give me good reasons.

RB's and WR's are definitely the way to go. Love taking advantage of PPR rules as well. I think QB's are deep this year. I honestly may go for someone like a Deshaun Watson in the middle rounds as a rebound candidate, or Russell Wilson as a sleeper this year. Nice job on winning your league and that semifinal match! Sometimes you need a little Luck to win (no pun intended)!
I for sure go RB and WR early and often (didnt take a QB until the 10th round...Brees). The forum still seems split on the Kelce/Johnson debate. I probably change it back and forth 10 times between now and our draft on 8/25. I think my sticking points are the with TEs there are 5 or so elite and then everyone else but, conversely, I have to have 3 servicable RBs any given Sunday to maneuver around bye weeks.
-
I have a bit of a dilemma. I am participating in a keeper league and my best options to hold over are David Johnson or Travis Kelce. For most David Johnson is probably the logical choice, but I have had him 2 years in a row and felt burned 2 years in a row, so im a bit jaded on him. Is Johnson worth a roll of the dice or do i stick with seemingly a sure thing in Kelce? (10 team ppr, 2 each of RB/WR, a TE and a flex)

Yeah, quiet offseason and I think a lot of us are just really busy.
It's been harder for me to get on lately, school's in full swing and baby #2 will be here soon!
My boss at work (as opposed to my boss at home) told me over and over that having a second does not create double the work...he was right, it’s about 3 or 4 times the work
-
I get the approach, build through the draft and pay your own; however, I cant help but think that Polian used this approach and it resulted in a LOT of really good regular seasons, A fair amount of early exits from the playoffs and only 1 superbowl. Probably not an apples-to-apples comparison but it’s where my head goes. I hope to see a little more flexibilty from CB in this and all FA periods than we saw from ‘98-‘11. I believe Two or three above average signings this year (and every year) would Allow us to sustain and build the momentum that was started last season.

Odell Beckham Jr. traded to Cleveland, as

reported.
Wow, dont know what to think on this one.

Thank you OP, I needed a good laugh...long week so far.
This reminds me of last year when I jumped on the Browns forum and they were debating if their team should offer a 3rd for Luck...and some of them thought it was actually viable.

Dude wears Ugg's. Luck has a neck beard. Clear choice who my leader would be.
You don’t choose the Ugg life, the Ugg life chooses you
Bottom line is I love the trajectory of them team, the leaders that are there now will set the tone for any new player that comes to us via the draft or FA

Im not hig on D. Thomas but wouldnt mind having a seasoned WR take the #2 for a (partial) year...let Cain, Fountain or (insert Rookie WR) ease into and take over the #2 by season end

Unfortunately I started Boone, but ultimately it didnt matter. My entire starting lineup decided to have their collective worst games, all in the same week. Wilson, Carson, Hopkins, K. Allen, etc. Even if they had had average days I would have walked away with it.
I have accepted it and the $ I got was a nice consolation. Also, this is a keeper league, so I will get To keep one of Carson, Henry or Hopkins. Already looking forward to next season.
