Now that the projections are up from all the usual FBG staffers, I was curious how other people weighted their projections (obviously if you make your own projections, then this doesn't apply). There seems to be 3 major schools of thought: A) Use only one staffer's projections -- pick someone...

How long do most IDP players retain their value, considering how much of their production is scheme/personnel-dependent? I'm playing in a 40-player contract dynasty league with 5 IDP starters (2 DL/LB, 2 DB, 1 flex), but in this league, there is *no* waiver wire and you are only allowed to drop...

Obviously the top three QB rookies are worth getting as even if they're "backups" to start this year, they have a very clear path to a starting job and a decent chance at starter-level (QB24 or better) production. Beyond those three (and possibly Derek Carr, although I'm personally down on...

The FBG rookie rankings are based on a 1QB/3WR league. Other than manually adjusting them, is there a quick and dirty way of adjusting them to give a rough approximation of what the rankings would like for a different system? For example, I play in a 2QB/2WR league. I could divide the average...

I took over a team last year in a 10-team, 40 roster spot dynasty league last year. I had limited time to consider the future of the team at that point, but am hoping to form a more long-term plan for the team now that I've started acquiring my own players and have a better idea of how the...

One of my leagues is using "Iron Man" drafting, in which you are not allowed to bring your own cheatsheets, but only a copy of the current NFL depth charts. Unfortunately, we don't remember which site we used for the depth charts last year and I wondered if anyone knew of a compact (preferably...

I've been scouring the web looking for any updates on how Pierre Garcon's been doing, but haven't had much luck. Whether or not he'll stay healthy all year, does he look healthy now?

It's getting down to cut time in my dynasty league and I'm on the fence about whether to keep Donald Brown. Pro: Bradshaw is dinged and Ballard isn't exceptional. Has flashed talent at times, but hasn't put it all together yet. Contract year, so might move on to a different location where he...

I know Mendenhall is unlikely to be worth much this year, despite the early reactivation from the PUP list, but I was curious what others thought his value might be worth in 2013, considering how well he did in 2010. Obviously there's the question of whether he remains with the Steelers, but is...

Has anyone found any rankings or projections for players in the 2013 season? Not just potential rookies, but an estimate of how they see current players falling out next year. This would be a very valuable resource for those of us in limited keeper leagues where we can't necessarily afford to...

This didn't really fall in the realm of the Website Questions forum, so I'm posting it here. I haven't been getting the updates from FBG on Facebook. Any clue how I can make them show up? I unliked and liked again to see if that would help, but I wonder if I have some sort of hidden filter...

Our league does not allow the use of Draft Dominator, so I've been using pen and paper for most of the ten years I've been playing in my leagues. However, I'll have the use of a brand new Mac this year and was considering creating a "real time" spreadsheet for my auction leagues this year (it's...

I'm certain that this will be touched upon in Jeff Pasquino's forthcoming auction guide, but I wanted to start some discussion on how much of your total salary you allocate to starters. Obviously, your bench size, and to some extent your lineup requirements, will influence how much you spend on...

Does anyone know a good way to see what the average kickoff return was this week compared to previous years? While there were a lot of touchbacks, it appeared to me that those that were returned were much more exciting and/or productive, not to mention netted 3 TD's in the first weekend, which...

If you had to go with one player over the other, whom would you prefer on your team as a WR2? (Bonus question: If this was a keeper league, does it change your answer?)

I'm not usually a big fan of handcuffs. In most cases, I think it makes more sense to swing for the fences and hope for a 1-2 punch duo instead of one player that will consistently score 0 points when the other is healthy, even if it means I might wind up with two players scoring goose eggs. I...

Figuring out pre-auction strategies is always a challenge, but I like to have some basic ideas down before I start. One of my biggest questions this year is whether to go for a stud RB (which usually come at a premium compared to the VBD of other positions) or go for a more shotgun approach...

I'm starting to think about "handcuff" players that would be worth taking in a limited roster (<20 slots) redraft or short-term keeper league as prospects. By "handcuff," I mean players that are primarily backups (so we're not talking Tolbert or Stewart here, they're obvious plays but rarely...

I'm playing in two 2 QB leagues this year and am planning on spending most of my cap money on starters. This leaves me the question of whom I should be considering for a backup. Somewhere between 40-45 QB's were picked up in last year's auctions, so hoping for someone on the waiver wire isn't...

I'm in a league that awards a fairly significant amount of points based on the scoring against them and penalizes you for poor defenses: Shutout: 12 points 1-9 points allowed: 9 points 10-16 points allowed: 5 points 17-28 points allowed: 0 points 29-40 points allowed: -1 point 41+ points...
