The past 2-3 years I had a hard time not chosing Andrew Luck in the top pick.

 

This year, i decided i was going to get a RB first. I got the second pick and picked up Marshawn Lynch. Then on the next round i got really lucky and had a choice between Aaron Rodgers and Luck. Chose Luck. So I got over my hump and still got my favorite player.

 

But this year i decided to pass off on other Colts players because it becomes a pain in the butt when you have too many players on one team and you go into bye. So i mixed it up with Marshawn, Luck, Damarius Thomas, Amari Cooper , Gostowski, Ravens D and so on...lol.

I only have one rule when picking my Fantasy team.

 

Absolutely, under No circumstance do I pick any Pats.   Cannot put myself in a position to have to root for them   :P

 

I have Andrew as my QB this year, and T.Y.   they're my only Colts players.

 

gotta agree but you cant pass on Gronk. lol. I did get Brady last year because there was no better but Romo possibly.

 

But then again, any Patriots players are not even worth chosing because:

 

1. Brady tends to run the ball alot and usually when he gets to the endzone, he gives it to this runningback. He will probably average 1 TD per game....

2. Even with the runningbacks, Brady gives every single runningback an equal share in the redzone. They dont keep 1 player in the redzone everytime.

3. Brady spreads the ball to all his WR. He has no favorite like Luck with TY.

I play for money, so I'm willing to pick anyone. I got Forte and Gronk with my 1st two picks, and Hilton and Alfred Morris in rounds 3 and 4. I'm all over the place and rooting for my team. I will root for the Colts obviously, but I will also root for Gronk to score if the Pats are about to score a td. That's how fantasy works.

Yeah, I'm clear on how Fantasy FB works.  Been playing for 15 years now.

 

Still Refuse to pick any Pats....   :thmdown:   Just.Can't.Do.it.

That's a nice combo of Luck and Hilton, it should work out well (hopefully in all cases for us fans). I think you have to throw away fan allegiances in fantasy or you pass up possibilities of really good players. I do respect you though for sticking to your guns and not rooting for the dark side.  :thmup:

I honestly don't mind the bye week and having numerous players on the same bye. Only if they are solid fantasy performers. I will sacrifice one week knowing in can win 2 more than in would if I picked up a lesser player because if his bye.

I took Luck #1 overall this year when in last year's I've taken RB's like they told me too.

 

I'm basing this off 2 things.  Luck is the top QB in fantasy and this league has 6 points per passing TD.  So that ups the value of QB's.

 

Also the top RB's have a really high bust rate in comparison to QB's.  

 

So we'll see if this pays off.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Superman · Posted

      I don't think the defense is the same old. For starters, our defense is no longer undersized, and doesn't struggle against the run.   If the Colts draft a man coverage corner in the first round, it will signal a major departure from the previous way of doing things, and it probably means Gus Bradley is gone after this season. I'm not against any of that happening. I just don't expect it, based on the established pattern.   As for what Ballard said in his presser, he also acknowledged that the expected top three boundary corners were unavailable for most of the season. Brents was our highly drafted rookie, and only played 9 games; Flowers played four games; Rodgers was released. That left us with rookies and journeyman playing corner most of the season. With Brents in Year 2 and hopefully healthy, Flowers back and healthy, another year in for Jaylon Jones, that gives Bradley a lot more to work with in the secondary. And I think that's more what Ballard was implying with his comments. Otherwise, he probably would have signed a veteran corner already.

      It’s officially over: Luck says he will never return.

      Are you going to tell me that I haven’t heaped tons of thanks on you?   How many times have I said thank you and that you are way too kind with your praise?  The answer is many.   I’m sorry you seem not to remember those moments.     Sorry about the headache.  The feeling was mutual.

      That has always been my issue going back to the Polian years. They preferred undersized players to fit this scheme. That was great when they had a lead and played indoors. The problem  is that teams started running the ball to keep Peyton on the bench. Plus, u get in bad weather and on grass, their speed is negated and they are just a bunch of undersized players getting blown off the ball. I am in favor of building a team that can play in any environment and that can run various schemes. I see flexibility with the offence, however the D is the same old. That's why I think this is an important draft defensively. Will the Colts stray from their previous tendancies of drafting players that fit the Seattle scheme or will they deviate and say draft a man corner? Last year we were all on the edge of our seats when a trade was made at 3. Will we get our qb at 4? We were all on pins and needles till they made that pick. This draft has that same excitement for me. At 15 will Ballard and company do something different? This team needs a play maker on D and I contend that is their biggest need. I don't believe they get that player moving back.  Sure u may get him at 15 but if u really want a playmaker, this just might be the year to say move up and get a guy like Mirchell and Latu who may fall because of the medical. I am not in favor of getting a wr or te. Richardson, if he is the guy, should deliver explosive plays with our current roster.  Jot a fan of Gus and this scheme, but I really don't think he has a lot to work with and Ballard kind of eluded to that in his post season pressers.

      The move happened before the 1984 season. To put in perspective how great Luck was here, here are the top 3 QBs over 40 seasons here win wise: Regular Season as a starter 1. Peyton Manning = 141 wins 2. Andrew Luck = 53 wins 3. Jim Harbaugh = 20 wins   Post Season as a starter 1. Peyton Manning = 9 wins (won the SB in 2006) 2. Andrew Luck = 4 wins 3. Jim Harbaugh = 2 wins   Luck had 33 more wins than Jim did and 2 more playoff wins than Jim did. Luck is so far ahead of any QB (not named Peyton) regarding wins in the Regular Season and Post Season that it is laughable.
