Early birds fantasy football discussion

[ThaWorldIsYours]

can someone explain handcuffs to me? If I have jamall charles, cause hes good, then why do I want kniles davis? he isnt good. Hes a backup.

Only way I see this working is if the starter is only good because the o line is good, then anyone who gets plugged in will be good.

Knile Davis IS good though. In fact he's much better than Devonta Freeman. You will literally never play Devonta Freeman, and if Jamaal Charles gets hurt, your team would be completely fukked if you replace him with Freeman. Freeman is a handcuff to a handcuff. He's actually battling for 3rd string duties with Smith. However, if you have Knile Davis, he can come in and produce 70% of what Charles does in that system because he's the unquestioned #2 and there is no timeshare situation going on. You get to replace a bellcow with a bellcow rather than replacing a bellcow with a timeshare guy, which 95% of RB's are.

I know but, if charles get injured, surely theres a better player to put in ur lineup than that teams backup.

Doubt it. You already proved you don't have a guy on your team who would be better to plug in than Knile Davis lol.

example. I have mccoy and martin rb1 and 2.

I dont have mccoys cuff but on my bench I have sankey and freeman. Both of which I would rather have on my bench to start the year off, more than mccoys cuff.

McCoy doesn't have a cuff. He's got a muddled mess behind him. If he did have a clear cuff though (like when Bryce Brown was there), you would be stupid to not own him over Devonta Freeman lol

Starting roster requirements matter, you know.

Is this a 10 team league, 2RB 3WR?

Do it regardless.

And then see if you can get somebody to bite on a 2 for 1 type trade to get a stud WR1 for your team.

Worry about the rest after you have Roddy.

Damn your WR's are not very good.

After you get Roddy, try to work some 2 for 1 or whatever people will go for trades to get more elite players. 8 team leagues are pretty ****ed though.

i know I've been trying to work some trades out to upgrade at wr....just got roddy white so ill try to figure something else out

He's also not even starting right now lol. Timeshare with Shonn Greene should be fun

right now lol

Currently at the same place in the depth chart as Knile Davis lol.




I'm just saying... most people don't have dependable options at like RB5. But thats ok, cuz you should rarely have to use your RB5. If I own Jamaal Charles, Knile Davis is much much more valuable to me than a guy like fukking Jonathan Stewart or Chris Ivory (or... Devonta Freeman lol), typical RB5's. If Charles goes down, you'd much rather replace him with Knile Davis in a full-time starting role than one of those bums.

[MalevolentX]

Standard scoring, I need to trade for a RB

Me

Ryan, Romo
Morris, Jennings, Rice, Hill, West
Calvin, Demaryius, Cobb, Fitz, Sanders

Him

Cutler, Big Ben
Ball, Martin, Gerhart, Ridley, Sankey
Brown, White, Maclin, Bowe

I'm really keen to get Martin, he would make my team legit as I can easily afford to give up a WR. He's drafted Martin at 14 and I got Cobb at 32 so there is no way he would take it straight up. If I package Cobb, do I accept Cobb+Rice/Hill/West and if that doesn't work, do I go as high as Cobb+Jennings?

Another team has:

Rivers, Dalton
Foster, L Bell, J Bell, Moreno, Woodhead
V Jax, Harvin, Decker, Hunter

His team is pretty bad. I could package Cobb with another RB for L Bell or even Fitz straight up for Joique.

Out of these options (or another if you can suggest it), what do you think I should do?

i hope charles gets hurt so we can decide this once and for all.

and because i dont have charles.

However, fantasy owners should take note that Freeman is predicted to be a fantasy sleeper pick heading into the year. The rookie has proved himself to be an extremely versatile back and could put up impressive numbers in the RB2 slot.

and once jackson phucks his hammy again, rb1

Cobb + Rice/Hill is good

Cobb + Jennings is too much

Fitz for Bell sounds good. I'm not high on L. Bell

that's a dick thing to say

Yes. he was predicted to be a sleeper. Several months ago. Then training camp and the preseason happened, and like 90% of people cooled way off on him.


"could put up impressive numbers in the RB2 slot" good luck with that lol. Jackson is very fragile, but it's probably gonna be a full on RBBC if he goes down. With Quizz Rodgers getting the lead role.

[kingofturtles]

Nice guys finish last in fantasy.

Seriously, don't do that

[jeremyisfat]

3rd year of my work league(just had our first live draft), and I think I just straight nutted all over them. .5 ppr, 12 teams. Am I gonna make it?

[Farley1324]

12 team half PPR and you have Forte, Ball, and Bernard?

They did realize this game is based on football, right?

i thought it was about having the best QB...

[ClaptonDeCheeks]

fuuuu all this Knile Davis talk makes me want to get him but I'd have to drop someone for him.

Vereen (or Bush), Fred Jackson, Kendall Wright, Kelvin Benjamin, Kenny Britt, and Travis Kelce are on my bench. will feel more comfortable dropping someone after week 1.

OR do a 2-for-1 to upgrade my elsewhere and free up a spot.

[theKH]

Should I start Ertz vs Jags, Randall Cobb vs Sea, Reuben Randle vs Det?

[Upshall18]

QB: Nick Foles
RB: Le'veon Bell
RB Ben Tate
WR Demaryius Thomas
WR Jordy Nelson
TE Jordan Cameron
WR/RB Fred Jackson
K Greg the leg
D Philly

Bench: Terrance Williams, Steven Jackson, Philip Rivers, Markus Wheaton, Terrance West, Tim Wright.

12 team .5 ppr and had 7th pick. Really hated having no worthy RB to take in the first 2 rounds and felt I had to reach a little for Bell/Tate cause I didn't think anyone decent would make it back to me.

[The_Standard]

(FLEX) (PPR) Kendall Wright vs. Kansas City or Chris Johnson vs. Oakland

I've also got Steven Jackson vs. New Orleans. Suggestions? Who's my floor; who's my ceiling?

team doesn't look that good tbh

RBs have potential though

[Farley1324]

He got a good deal on somebody, either Bell or Nelson, going in the early-ish third round. Ben Tate early fourth I guess and then Fred Jackson in the fifth though? Or did you reach for Foles there?

Sorry I messed up. We have a TE position and then a WR/RB position. My TE is Cameron

Thomas, Nelson, Bell, Tate, Cameron, Foles, Jackson
