Also add Mike Glennon and Derek Carr to the list (along with Davis as mentioned). Especially for those of us in larger leagues (like 16 teams) where everyone of the ones OP mentioned (as well as Carr and Cousins) is already rostered.

I think this is the right decision as well.

There will be a number of unpredictable guys who qualify because of injuries to guys ahead of them. But, I'll say Hurns among the guys who outperform most without aid of injury. Maybe Benjamin is a decent candidate too. Rivers and Shaun Hill at QB.

Easily B in real football. And in my league, B would outscore A significantly, by like 5 and a half points. (-3 per interceptions and the difference between a 6 and 8 y/attempt bonus).

getting a bit obvious, but since it wasn't mentioned yet, gotta go with Hurns.

Leagues that require more than one RB overvalue RBs relative to their true worth. PPR is not necessary, and simply distorts things in other ways. Just require only one RB, and this solves the "problem" in a much more natural way. We see lots of one RB being run in the NFL anyway, so it matches.

Nicknames are terrible these days. (Generally just initials, etc) They are probably a reflection of an increasingly uncreative fan base, used to being spoon-fed their entertainment.

14 teams. Start 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1WR/TE, 1 TE, 1 RB/TE/WR, 1 K, 1 D/ST QBs: Freeman, Flacco RBs; Mendenhall, S. Jackson WRs: A. Johnson, G. Jennings, J. Knox, Denarious Moore, B. Lafell, A. Benn, D. Nelson TEs: Finley, D. Keller, Kendricks, E. Dickson D/ST: Green Bay K: Alex Henry (Phi)...

You don't understand basic probability or something. If you miss the two point conversion, it's going to take another possession. It doesn't matter when you miss it. It is not a higher risk that you will miss it earlier than later, and therefore it is not a higher risk for losing the game. It is...

Actually, if you miss the two point conversion when down 8, you can't tie in one possession. You need to compare apples to apples. The chance of missing the two-point conversion is the same either way.

Being down by 8 later in the game is really bad later in the game if you miss the two point conversion, which is what must be compared to the missing of the two pointer up front, since the odds are the sameThat's the problem with the thinking above and repeated over and over. It's a logic that...

Its almost like you think it is easier to get a conversion at the end then it is earlier, which obviously isn't the case. If the goal is staying in the game as long as possible, then you would kick the extra point. And indeed too many make this the de facto goal, when instead the goal should...

I remember having Jamal Lewis on the bench when he ran for 300 yards, and Corey Dillon when he ran for around 275. But in both cases, those guys were starting on most teams, but each time I had two guys the consensus thought was better. I had Fitzpatrick on the bench today, but just couldn't...

In the 14 team league I am in, those were all pretty obvious starts (once declared they would play) by the teams that had them. The only debatable one was Evans perhaps, but I started him with Andre Johnson on a bye, as Fitzgerald and Evans seeming on the rise even before this game. Obviously...

Guys who were drafted really late aren't really the type of project we are talking about here. It's the guys whose physical abilities make them drafted high/have a lot of hype despite lacking some key receiver skills some of their peers already have. While it may seem those guys fail more, I...
