Is this an argument for or against? And I don't plan ahead by rostering one players backup. Douglas wouldn't help me if Hilton or Watkins got hurt.

For me, waivers are a necessary part of ff because they keep teams interested/competitive. Not to mention, they are needed to get through the bye weeks. But I sort of hate them because they can swing the competitive balance as a result of things that are basically unpredictable. It makes...

Surprised that just about every league allows them to continue. Mine shuts them down (with a kicker exception) at the start of the playoffs and I just figured it was typical. How much depth you'll need is a decision you have to make. It may be a stupid question - but how does it work leaving...

This is a weird dynamic. Stud RBs get drafted early, even when they are rookies, and thus are constantly getting thrown back in to the early rounds of the draft. On the other hand, when a late round RB emerges as a keeper it's often fool's gold because the shelf life of an NFL running back is...

Another thing I've learned to do is to not worry about depth. Say your wr's postdraft were: Julio, Hilton, Harvin, Adams, Bailey. You probably didn't draft Adams or Bailey with the expectation that they would be startable at the onset, and didn't care because you hoped to never have to start...

The draft dominator iPad app allows you to plug in keepers. I go through the rankings and increase the rankings of players based on age to account for people reaching for younger players. It takes forever, but it is worth the effort because you gain a huge advantage over league mates who can't...

It is great to see some keeper discussion around here. I posted this awhile ago, and tried to update it a bit. Strategy #1: All keepers are declining assets, treat them as such. FF Players have a habit of looking at a player they like and assuming the best case scenario and pencil in 10-20%...

Buy Low Nick Foles: I think some were spooked by the first half and not impressed with the flukiness of the TD to Maclin. Losing Mathis hurts a ton and the line could be shaky at least until Lane gets back. But ultimately let's remember it was week 1 and he was out of sync...he'll settle down...

I'm in, thought It was a crazy idea at first...then saw dodds projections.

1. The torch gets passed as young QBs Wilson, Luck, Kaepernick, and Foles (and Rodgers) bump Manning and Brees out of the top 5. 2. Everyone clamors for Maclin, Ertz, and Matthews while Cooper & Sproles lead the Iggles in yards and receptions respectively. 3. The vaunted NFC West...

I hadn't thought of it in those terms, but now I do see the connection. I was thinking about how it relates to how & when people begin to deviate from consensus rankings. For example, my 4th round (ppr) team would be: QB: Luck RB: Vereen, Gerhart, Sankey, Chris Johnson, Mathews WR...

For the record, the pick value calculator says you should do it for the 5th round, no matter what slot you were originally drafting from. I agree that it would be dicey but I think it would be a gamble that could pay off big time if you hit on a few.

I planned to do another poll asking how many consecutive picks (starting with your 1st) you would trade for the first 3 picks in the draft.

Let's assume 12 teams, start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex, 1 TE.

I'm curious as to what others think on this one. I'll post my answer as well as what the pick value calculator says after a few responses.
