Early birds fantasy football discussion

[yuja]

They sure did.

I mean, eventually they'll be right, so I guess they might as well keep saying.

Yep

I don't mind going Morris-Gore in the later rounds if i go WR/QB/TE in the earlier rounds, it's a nice floor

[Impurityz]

lol took Gore in the third and I got so much heat

[Farley1324]

Yep

I don't mind going Morris-Gore in the later rounds if i go WR/QB/TE in the earlier rounds, it's a nice floor

Morris is 2.08 on FFC right now. Gore is down at 4.06 though. Once you are into round 4-5 there are some interesting RB's with all kinds of different things going for/against them.

[HughBMyron]

Wait...so who are you going to keep?

Reggie Bush and Jimmy Graham?

Why are McCoy, Charles, and Megatron not being kept?

WTF is going on in this league?

Sorry ill explain it better ( i was just rambling)

Its a 2 player keeper league. You have to pick two players on your previous team as keepers. You can't repick a keeper. So previous keepers go back into the pool

Mccoy, JC and Calvin were kept last year.

Reggie bush and Roddy white were my keepers last year

Im keeping Jimmy Graham and someone else this year, just not sure who

Late round RBs I like....PT, Tate, Miller, Ridley

[dhawkeye1980]

the addition of bryce brown doesnt help too much

idk I remember them pumping spiller hard.. brb we will run him until he throws up

gets 2 carries...

Oh yea i forgot about brown, quite a cluster...

[Farley1324]

I have the 3rd overall pick now.

Looking at my team from last year is fairly sad

Nate Burleson
Reggie Bush (keeper)
Mike Glennon
Jimmy Graham
Mark Ingram
Chris Ivory
F Jax
V jax
Cam
Hakeem Nicks
CJ Spiller
Sproles
RWhite (keeper)

Looks like Mccoy, JC, Calvin are back in the pool. AP will be a keeper for sure. So with the 3rd overall pick i can secure one of those 3.

Yeah...after Graham I don't see any obvious choices for a keeper.

Perhaps Vincent Jackson.

How about the other highly drafted RB's so far this year, like Forte, Lacy, Lynch, will any of them be available?

If I kept Vincent Jackson and Jimmy Graham I'd be a little nervous about taking Calvin Johnson and waiting till the late 2nd (or later) of a 2-keeper league before taking my first RB. But Having Calvin and Graham on the same team is pretty awesome.

[Sandman33]

Late round RBs I like....PT, Tate, Miller, Ridley

Tate is my ideal Rb2 honestly. He's the one I'm aiming for after I draft one RB, 2 wr's and a TE or QB. Round 5-6 he's gold. Dude is going to see a LOT of work.

Ridley is extremely talented when he just holds onto the ball. Like him a lot too.

Miller? Which miller do you mean?

[Sandman33]

You guys think there's ANY gas left in Steven Jackson's tank?

[HughBMyron]

Yeah that's the problem i'm faced. Looks like forte lacy will be kept, Lynch was kept last year so hes back in the pool.

But the people drafting before me are fairly stupid. So do i bank on one of them not taking Mccoy/JC and i can keep Vjax? or take Vjax anyways and if Mccoy/JC both get taken have Lynch as a fall back plan (or man up and roll with Calvin, Graham and Vjax hnnng)

[HughBMyron]

As a falcons fan i hope so, but i see them using freeman more this year. Look for him to play a big role scatback/ take touches from Jackson.

Miller? Which miller do you mean?

how many millers are there?

Lamar Miller, handling all first team reps atm and holding off moreno..late round steal


Whichever Cleveland back ends up starting/staying healthy is going to win championships (Tate, West...and whatever the last guys name is)

Will take Lamer Miller at round 15 only. I hate that guy. I bought into the hype last year and got burnt.

o-rank is 125 so 13th round in 10 man and 10th round in 12 man

worth the risk if he ends up starting

[Sandman33]

Can't see him producing anything. Even if he "starts" he's just going to split carries. He's just not a good rb.

[Sandman33]

Thoughts on this 12 team mock? (picked 2nd)

qb - RGIII

wr - Roddy White
wr - Maclin
wr - Sammy Watkins backups are James Jones, Kenny Stills, and wheaton

rb - Jamaal Charles
rb - Zacc Stacy backups are Ridley and Ingram

te - Orange Julius Thomas

def - CAR

WRs are two injury-prone guys + a rookie...but strong at every other position

[HughBMyron]

I wouldn't call roddy white injury prone lol. Guy missed most of last season yes, but that was the first time he's ever missed a game (games) in his career.

I think matthews ends up being the best WR in Philly this year, Kids a stud.

Watkins is going to be last years Tavon austin.

[Sandman33]

I was thinking the same thing. I really like maclin though..I think he's better then desean and now he's getting the same role Desean had last year. And Roddy got hurt last season, but before that he was one of the most reliable in the game for a long long time. And he's on a contract year.

I figured at my 3rd wr slot one of those left would pan out ok. Watkins, Jones, Stills, and I think I had dobson too.

Yes, my bad. I don't mind Roddy as a WR2 this season but am not sure how he'll produce coming back from injury/age catching up to him + a (hopefully) healthy Julio

Maclin could be great, or he could get injured the first game.

i like your train of thought

haven't mocked a 12 man this year...will try one tomorrow and see how it pans out

Dead on.

I drafted him in one league last year based on that reliability lol. I haven't looked it up recently but he was on a streak of something like 5 straight years as a WR1, or something like that

[HughBMyron]

Yeah he's always been a solid value pick for fantasy footbal. him and Colston IMO have been round 3-5 guys that produced every year, except last year and of course i had both of them lol.

from rotoworld

Third-round RB Terrance West is handling the majority of the first-team reps at Browns minicamp and is "expected to play a major role" on offense this season.
Ben Tate has been taking part in individual drills at minicamp but hasn't participated in 11-on-11s. West is getting the bulk of the reps with the starters, with Chris Ogobonnaya mixing in. Tate broke four ribs last season, so it's possible the Browns are being cautious with the injury-prone back. Tate has missed 24-of-64 games since entering the league. West gets what's blocked and has the ability to break through initial contact. His current eighth-round ADP should continue to rise over summer. West could easily end up leading the Browns in carries.

Saw that too. But doesn't it make more sense that they're resting their feature back and making darn sure he's not gimpy for week one?

it does. i'd bet on tate being the main man come week 1

HBO's Hard Knocks will be Atlanta this year.

Keep an eye/ear out for Roddy White to show how much of a dumbass piece of **** he is while on camera.

Here are some of the types of comments from Roddy White's twitter that we may have to look forward to:


"All them jurors should go home tonight and kill themselves for letting a grown man get away with killing a kid"


"Watching NFL countdown and they talking bad about Aldon Smith but I'm willing to bet Keyshawn Tom and cris have all driven drunk no doubt"

"Aldon smith isn't right in any way form or fashion but come on guys don't act like you never [drove drunk] you just got away with it"


"A lot of stuff get swept under the rug at university's don't understand why penn state had to tell the media we got a coach rapping kids"

"You know that's gone hurt the university you can't control a grown man I just think they should've got him arrested and that's the end"

"I would send my kid there if he wanted to go he wasn't rappin football players that's a great program that joe pa ran"

Don't be hatin on my boy roddy.

Also another gem, when he bet season tickets to that twitter fan that duke would beat mercer. After mercer won he agreed to give him two tickets to the bears game LOL.

[Farley1324]

DEN's first six games of the season are against 4 playoff teams and two good defenses (IND, KC, @SEA, ARI, @NYJ, @SF)

Ouch.
