Different strategy. Your thoughts? 10 man league, 3rd pick.

QB - Brady (will pick up a streamer for weeks 1-4)
RB - Ingram, Hyde, Langford, Jennings, Abdullah, Woodhead
WR - Jones, Allen, Cobb, Benjamin, Crabtree, Shepard
TE - M Bennett

[dhawkeye1980]

Same, but feel it be nice to have a top D each week and just let em do their thing instead of gambling on drafting the 12th round odb of 2016

i remember getting AZ last year in an auction for cheap and they killed it for me, but in a snake id still wait

[Vitamin0]

10 Person League
0.25 PPR

Freeman is a guy I'd look to fall to the 3rd before I'd take him to make sure I got the right value for him. I think most times, he'll be taken earlier, though. I don't think last year's production is repeatable for him.

Look, I'm not stoked about Freeman but this chit is getting out of hand.

The guy finished as RB1 last year. The highest scoring back in FF. He scored double digit fantasy points in ALL BUT THREE GAMES. One of those happened to be in the ff semi finals, but he came back with a 20 point game during the championship.

This year you wouldnt touch him until guys like CJ Anderson (RB13, only had THREE games of more than 10 fps), Thomas Rawls (RB 15, gonna miss all of preseason due to injury with a murkey return situation) and Latavius Murray (RB 17, somewhat boom or bust) have been drafted?

This is based on FFC's current ADP and end of season stats from my .5 PPR NFL.com league.

Again I dont love Freeman but waiting till the third round to draft him is silly. Coleman is no threat to steal his job. The team and coaches have said over and over that Freeman is their guy.

mid risk 2nd rounder

I do think Coleman is going to take touches away and Freeman is due for a regression. Right now on Yahoo Freeman is 25, after Ingram, Charles, Martin, Andersen and before Lacy and McCoy

I'd rather have Lacy or McCoy over him personally, but would take Freeman over Andersen

No way am I passing on Freeman for Rawls or Hyde (the next 2 Rbs up)

[HughBMyron]

As a falcons fan who follows them closely the team loves coleman. this is going to be a true RBBC now with freeman on passing downs.

I honestly expect it to be a 60/40 split towards the half way point of the season. In Favor of freeman

It's harder than we usually think to predict the top defenses

[efoi]

not really sold on your 4th/5th RBs/DeAngelo after the first 3 weeks

everything else looks good

Thanks for the input. Yeah not a huge fan of those guys either, gonna have to read up some more to figure out who I want to target at RB that late

[The_Albatross]

Bump for feedback pls

You can drop Ajayi, Treadwell, Graham, and Lewis.

[Fiz-iks]

I have Freeman penciled in for the late 2nd/early 3rd in 12 man. I'd still probably grab a WR like Tate or Nelson over him though.

Yeah, I don't have a good feeling about him this year. I understand he was great last year, but my feeling is that he won't repeat it. He was never meant to be a workhorse. I personally said I wouldn't draft him until the 3rd, but I also said that I don't expect him to drop that far. I don't like Rawls, either, but I do put Freeman in the same tier as Anderson or Murray in my rankings.

Rate my team brahs. Standard 12 man from pick 3.

QB: Tyrod Taylor
RB1: Jamaal Charles
RB2: Latavius Murray
WR1: Julio Jones
WR2: Keenan Allen
TE: Kelce
FLEX: Demarco Murray
BN: Tyler Lockett, Derrick Henry, Corey Coleman, Rishard Matthews, Spencer Ware, DeAndre Washington, Tajae Sharpe

Thoughts? Pretty happy with my starters and that I was able to grab pretty much all handcuffs. I think I went way too deep on titans players though...

i like all of it except tyrod at QB. although QB is the easiest to replace so it's all good. i could be way wrong on him i just never draft bills or anybody on a rex ryan offense. 'rod definitely had big games last year though.

I'm avoiding Freeman this year as well. I think some Fantasy Miscer threw a stat out that he scored a majority of his fantasy points in a 4-5 game stretch. I forget the % but it was pretty large.

I just don't have a good feeling.



Inb4 I skip over Freeman and he runs for 2000 yards for Ingram who gets hurt week 3.

I would take Ingram over Freeman. Freeman won't put up the numbers he did last year because they want to give Coleman touches, but he'll still be a solid RB. 3rd round is a good place to pick him up.

[CGindles]

obviously no chance I keep Dez over Gronk...right? WRs are deeper

[Murph0408]

i'm guessing you lose your 2 for dez and your 1 for gronk? if that's the case i'd keep dez and have a 1st round pick.

[stoverbruce]

Got the 3rd pick overall. 1st will be AB confirmed. 2nd is Julio confirmed. 3rd pick either going ODB or AP. Any other options I should consider?

Agreed with this. Gronk is tiers above other TEs, but I wouldn't want to lose a first rounder for him, especially if you end up in the top 3. Dez has looked good so far and should return to his normal TD machine this year.

Yeah, except we never know who the top defenses will be. Of course we think we do.

If you had the Broncos D last year then they were helping you out immensely. But they were drafted like 10th for defenses on average. The top defenses picked were the Seahawks and Bills and I believe they both finished around 5th-7th and weren't that much higher than the available defenses in your free agency.

I remember the Steelers, Bears and 49ers all being picked super high in drafts once upon a time and then all falling well short of expectations. One of the main reasons this happens is because of the randomness of turnovers and defensive/ST touchdowns. You can field the same defense in back to back years and get twice as many turnovers and touchdowns the first year compared to the second or vice versa.

Take a competent defense with a good week 1 matchup with your second to last pick and hope you hit it big. If not, you can stream defenses until you find a good one. There's always good defenses available in free agency early in the year.


Use those picks in the rounds before that for lottery ticket receiver and running backs.

[Tyler2106]

Just because you guys are fantasy experts, here is another mock draft. 12 man draft, pick 8. Let me know how bad it is

QB - Brady, Stafford
RB - Ingram, L Murray, Langford, Jennings, Ivory, Powell
WR - Green, Cooper, Marvin Jones
TE - Barnidge

I just realized I didn't draft many WRs, but that's okay. Overall, I do like this draft.

Pretty solid for 12 man. Like you said, WR could be an issue if someone gets hurt. I think Langford could be a beast this year and I'm targeting him in all my drafts.

thoughts on Josh Gordon

currently ranked 89 on yahoo, so he'd be a 8th rounder

suspended first 4 games

Someone has to catch passes in Cleveland. If you don't mind giving up an 8th round pick, he could be good down the stretch.

I am going to try and take a chance on him I think. Assuming he doesn't do anything stupid, he could be really valuable come playoff time after a couple weeks getting back in shape and playing form. He showed he can produce with anyone under center.

i really dig this team and this is the kind of squad i would pick. ivory/lang/powell/rashad are all awesome backups/handcuffs and if everybody stayed healthy you'd be trading one of them for whatever you need later in the year

stafford is my favorite compliment to brady because i like how his first few games look. good draft
