5th round (70 overall I think). I actually wanted to grab him, but not that high
Bishman, you were really scaring me. But then I looked at your team again and was like
Let the trash talking commence. Ooops my bad, Oyster had already started that days ago but ate crow during the draft today.
Big Ben will be a top 12 QB by the end of the season. And I feel like I have the best depth in the league with my team.
P.S. You are lucky I'm not on your schedule.

My boy bell got hurt in his first nfl drive. Willing to trade mr aj green.
so you want a running back?
Good luck week 1 without him.
idrinkalone
Banned
Yeah, unless bell is only out for a few weeks. But with my luck this kid will get hurt putting on his shoes.
Your autodraft drafted better than half of the league. LOL!
I agree with Fantomex. If we were playing in a standard league, Yahoo projections would be more accurate but we are a PPR league. Last year in my 16 team PPR league, Yahoo projected my friend team to go 4-10. At the end of the season, he was in 1st place with a record of 11-3.
Drafting + in-season management = success
And that's why I'm taking it this year Bish!
Lol at only drafting one backup RB in a 2 RB 2 flex league.

Firesale. Anyone on The blue oyster team. No offer too low, unless its way too low.

By firesale I meant I am willing to trade anyone on my roster. I didn't mean try to rape me. I'm not drunk on weekdays so it won't work.
You are clearly delusional with the counter offer you sent. Must have been drunk last night when that happened.

I misunderstood, sorry. You really should wait a week or 2 at least. There is no way to predict from one season to the next who the breakout stars will be.

Last time I checked Ty hilton is worth ray rice. I was being generous in my counter.
And Yankeefan stop being so nice!
I'll give you Isiah Pead and a pack of Fruit Stripes for AJ Green.

2lbs of wild bills beef jerky and a case of yuengling will do it.

Every player I pick up gets hurt. Never drafting before week 4 preseason ever again. I can't catch a break.., but I do catch sprains. Get it? Oh man I guess I'm the only comedian in the league.
You turned down my offer? Good luck making playoffs.

Banned
Offer? I thought you were kidding. Little and old backup lawfirm for a top 5 wr? C'mon man!
There is a lot of WR depth this year. Someone will emerge as a top wideout with your roster. And I threw in Greg Little, he's a sleeper. You know how hard it is to get a starting RB who gets 200+ carries?

How did you get Shady and Spiller in the same draft? You must have been drafting against the worst drafters in history. You should win in a route.

Quick question about a 12 team keeper league trade I was just offered:
Aaron Rodgers (my team)
for
Colin Kapernick and Maurice Jones Drew
I need RBs. As much as I'm somewhat hestitant to get rid of Rodgers, my initial reaction was this is a no-brainer. I don't think it'll be a major drop in production between Kap and A-Rod, plus MJD appears to be ready to return to form, and obviously Kap is younger than A-Rod. IS THIS TRADE A NO-BRAINER???
My starters would be:
QB-C. Kapernick
RB-M. Jones Drew
RB-E. Lacy
WR-D. Bowe
WR-Vincent jackson
TE-K, Rudolph
RB-D. Sproles
DEF-SF 49ers
K-S. Gostowski
I also have another potential trade in the works of D. Bowe for Desean Jackson and Steve Smith.

Definitely. Eddie Lacy being your work horse is troubling.

Is this a place to come to for general fantasy advice? I've got the 3rd pick in a non-ppr standard scoring 10 team league. I already know AP and Doug Martin are going 1st and 2nd in the draft but I'm trying to decide between Jamaal Charles or Marshawn Lynch at the 3rd pick. I'm open to any advice on who to pick, not just between these two, but they are my favorites so far.
I would suggest you at least take a look at Alfred Morris, here are some reasons.
- He was the 2nd leading rusher last year
- He was second in touchdowns last year
- He is very young
- The absence of RG3 might put him even more in the spotlight
- Shannahan has always had succesful running games.
Jamaal Charles and Marshawn Lynch offer the same risks, they might get hurt and have some mileage. But they are both pretty good bets as well. I just think Alfred Morris is a lock for #3 in a non ppr league. However the entire Internet disagrees with me. Who knows, he might be available at pick #18 when it comes back. If that's the case I would go with Lynch and hope for a miracle that Morris is still available.

Well considering your trade...I'd place Cook and Moore on the same level. I'm not really expecting anyone from the Rams to produce at a high level this year. Moore is a WR3/4 at best...That part of the deal is a wash.
So it's ultimately Bowe and Wilson for Graham and Bradshaw.
-You need a TE (Cook doesn't count imo)..Now you'd have the best in Graham. Graham produces like a 1/2 WR.
-With Charles and Johnson I think Bradshaw is fine as a backup RB.
So Graham for Bowe, you get the better end of that deal at a position of need. And Wilson for Bradshaw...Bradshaw you kind of know what you're getting...Wilson at this point is speculation, but he should be good..So obviously you lose something there, but how much is yet to be seen.
I'd do this trade as you spread out your talent more. You gain a star, and don't lose much for a backup/flex position.

Imo, usually people who win their leagues hit homeruns on at least their first round pick. You can rebound from a flop in the first but it's an uphill battle. So obviously, you want a safe pick in the first.
No one can see the future, but I personally have a hard time going against the cumulative opinions of thousand of other players.
For a third pick...Not Foster...Definitely no. I've seen him drop in tons of mock drafts, plus recent news on him (Yahoo) has him outside the top ten RBs...Also you need to handcuff Tate to him and Tate goes roughly in the 8rd...Who wants to spend an 8th round pick on a handcuffed bench player?
So go with what's safe..Charles, Lynch, Spiller, or Rice. Spiller is the biggest X factor. He's a beast, that is, when he plays. So Spiller is the least safe of this bunch. Rice seems to be on the decline, but you're guaranteed 1100 yds and 6-8 tds, plus some receiving yrds. He's probably the safest of the bunch...Lynch is on his second career in Seattle..He's a beast but he's got some mileage on the legs...Some experts seem to be suggesting he'll get injured this year.
I like homerun hitters..Charles is a homerun hitter...He's a guy that can rush for 200 plus yrds in a game, multiple times in a season...I'd go with Charles. Not completely safe, but not the biggest risk, plus has a huge X factor/explosive play capability.

No problem. I love talking FF, and giving advice on FF.
Bottom line though, nobody wins a FF league who isn't active and aware when it comes to the weekly waiver wire. Picking up break out players (even it's only for a few weeks), or simply picking up guys to block your opponents (if you don't have an acquistion limit during the season).
Typically the active waiver players, not the active traders, win fantasy leagues. Trades imo are best suited for preseason. You can get a steal or get taken..Trades done during the regular season, unless it's a keeper league, end up being apples for apples.

Alfred morris is actually a great choice, an unconventional one too. I love his technique and the zone blocking system is a perfect fit for his abilities. It is a risky pick at #3 but it could be one that benefits me very well. Very tough choice though, I don't know if I like the third pick this year, it;s definitely not easy.
