Early birds fantasy football discussion

[NorrinRadd12]

This can't be a srs list

2 years ago everyone was drafting Helu and someone on here told me to draft some guy named Alfred Morris late.

Drafting RBs early is a futile method. If you can't pick great RBs late then you can't be good at fantasy football

Which of tehse will be great RB's this season, and what do you mean by "great"?

Also, there is rather large disparity regarding their ADP. CJ1k isn't exactly going "late".

Let's pick on Khiry Robinson and Blount. How much do you want to wager on them being great this season?

Are you in any leagues with me?

I love the late round RBs so much much that I'm going QB, WR, TE in first 6 rounds

Chris Johnson
Williams from Giants
Carlos Hyde
Tre Mason
Legarrette Blount
Khiry Robinson

Yes every year it seems there is 1-2 backs that are going in the 10+ rounds or not drafted at all that end up being a top 15 back.

Yes every year it seems there are about 20 different RB's going from rounds 5+ that people think could be in the top 15 that never make it

Goodluck picking the right one.

Yup.

After you out of the first tier of RB's there are more questions than answers, which is typical.

The list he posted all has capable runners infront of them (minus CJ)

Chris Johnson
Williams from Giants = Jennings
Carlos Hyde =Gore
Tre Mason = Stacy
Legarrette Blount = Bell
Khiry Robinson = Thomas/Cooks

Id feel better off taking Mcsadden and expect him to beat out MJD then these guys hoping someone gets injured.

Yeah...if we could have 15 guys on the bench (and our competitors only got 6) then we might stack up all of these RB's in an effort to get that waiver wire wonder from the beginning. But you only get ~6 bench spots typically, and need to fill in for bye weeks or nicks and dings, so...you get to pick maybe 1 or 2 of these guys at most.

Williams and Mason are automatic. They will go in the top 2 rounds next year. Robinson and Blount are my 5th and 6th RB picks. Just swings. Hyde has so much potential because Gore is just about out of gas. Great back behind great line on great team. I'll take that in the 9th round all day instead of some has been RB on a bad team in the 3rd round.

[HughBMyron]

White and Reddick too

No i mean cooks. Ingram i just forgot about

Cooks is going to be used as a darren sproles type scatback/WR. Just you wait.

but you can't start him at RB

[HughBMyron]

I'm not saying you can. I'm saying he will take touches/carries away.

You seem like the type of person that watches tons of college football and gets hyped when good college players enter the NFL as a rookie. Then you translate that into Fantasy football.

In any misc leagues?

[Bucsfan2425]

did a mock in a 10 team league, snake type draft, had the 10, 11th picks, 30, 31 etc…how'd i do? trying to get ready for my league

qb: matt ryan(8)
rb:ryan matthews(4th), ray rice(5), s jackson(9), moreno, shonn greene (all starters right?)
wr:Julio jones(2nd), cobb(3rd), d jax(6), sanders(7), maclin(10), marvin jones
te: graham (1st)
d:bills
k:walsh

when getting a late pick, it seems like there's no rbs that are worth it compared to wr's or graham if he's available. how's it look?

Ray Rice way too early, he's suspended 2 games and probably sharing the ball with Pierce

Moreno is hurt and presumably losing his starting job to Miller. Green is the short yardage/GL back while Bishop Sankey is the starter
Mathews is RBBC with Brown and Woodhead

everything else is alright for a 10 man

[Bucsfan2425]

yeah rb's seem to be a problem if you don't get mccoy, AP, charles, forte and lynch.

im not a big fan of foster, same kind of goes with lacey. lynch is great but i think he might have a down year/less carries. also i don't think bell, stacy, murray etc are worth that first round pick.

who are some good rb's to get in the 3rd or later if you choose to go WR and jimmy graham in the first round and second round?

Gore

Ridley/Vereen

Bush/Bell (the / means one or the other)

Martin/Morris/Ellington/Spiller

T-Rich

Miller

Hyde/Pierce/West/Freeman in the later rounds

off the top of my head

I picked up ellington off waivers last year he did pretty good for me

[ClaptonDeCheeks]

so can anybody recommend a good draft guide?

bpa

[TheBannedBrah]

when all your rb1/2 and wr1/2 are chosen do you guys go for flex or TE next?

and what do we think of Spiller?

depends who is available. I'd go with flex tho.

[Boonenator]

Keepers can be kept indefinitely. I'm keeping lacy in the 3rd and graham in the 8th. I have the 11th pick in a snake draft. Which 2 players would you grab with my 11th and 14th picks? 1QB 2WR 2RB 1TE 1Flex

Arian Foster
Doug Martin
Alfred Morris
Montee Ball
Dez Bryant
Brandon Marshall
Julio Jones
Jordy Nelson
Aaron Rodgers

Rodgers and Jones if it is more than 4pt TD passes. If not I would go Jones and Ball provided he is still there.

[Boonenator]

Yeah it's 6pt passing td league but QBs get -1 pt per sack which makes me cautious of Rodgers. I should have mentioned that. Still Rodgers?

[Farley1324]

How many times does Rodgers usually/historically get sacked per season/per game? Other QB's?
