    News Report: QB Peyton Manning was supplied PEDs banned by NFL

    Mike Neal, Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers, James Harrison & Dustin Keller are also mentioned amongst others. Gotta question the sources involved here, but... http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/peyton-manning-banned-ped-documentary-article-1.2477773 More from the Huffington Post...

    RB Melvin Gordon, BAL

    I typically pay head to the pros and cons outlined in scouting reports, but at face value, this assessment reads as if Gordon was a back who should have been drafted on day 3 rather than one chased after in a trade up to take 15th overall. He can't be that bad...

    The 2-2-1 RB strategy

    I also used this strategy by accident in a 14 team redraft league before realizing there was an article outlining the tactic. I drafted WR/WR in the opening rounds, so I had to figure out some sort of mid-round RB strategy to compensate for it. I decided to target Houston's ground game...

    Charles Johnson - WR Grand Valley State

    Your break down/analysis was pretty well thought out, but it doesn't really reflect what I saw down the stretch last year. Take Greg Jennings for example. While I'd have to concede Jennings isn't nearly the player he used to be, he would still have to be considered the significantly more...

    ✈ 2015 NEW YORK JETS Thread

    I watched an interview of Geno before the Jets drafted him and wasn't at all impressed. In the interview he was given a play with 4 options. Its been a few years and I don't remember them exactly, but lets say the primary WR was #1, second WR was the #2, the TE was the 3rd option and running it...

    What is the worst dynasty trade you have been offered?

    I was offered a mid 2nd round rookie draft pick in exchange for Jordan Matthews AND a 3rd round rookie pick. SO tempting... :rolleyes:

    ✈ 2015 NEW YORK JETS Thread

    Maybe this is the whole purpose behind the decision... Geno has everything he needs to succeed at this point: good line, good WRs, full staff support, solid D that can keep games close... absolutely no excuses whatsoever... this creates an all or nothing / sink or swim situation for him.

    What happened with NYJ?

    It's about time. I thought they drafted well, too, which means they did something different with their drafting process despite holding on to the old personnel until now.

    Branden Oliver

    I can't see a day 2 draft pick, even after a pre-season shredding of 2nd and 3rd string Ds, getting the week 1 start over Oliver given he has the better part of experience & familiarity with the system if nothing else. Beyond that I don't even think the SD staff themselves know where things...

    Branden Oliver

    I'm really interested in seeing what Oliver could do with a more featured role, but I can't realistically imagine any NFL franchise rolling with a strategy that would have them going into week 1 with an unchallenged, UDFA atop the depth chart. I'll be very surprised and very high on Oliver if...

    New York Jets disaster

    I agree, but that's also where it's hard for me to get excited about anything with the Jets...hoping they'll actually make the right call(s) with these opportunities going into next season...

    Who signs Ray Rice

    A friend of mine worked as a bouncer near Rutgers and would occasionally see Rice come around from time to time. He said Rice always came off as a d-bag who demanded respect and special treatment from everyone he met because he was so high on who he was even back then. I doubt the fame and...

    New York Jets disaster

    I almost feel like even Andrew Luck would fail with the NYJ. This organization is just far too dysfunctional in its management. Even if they somehow did land a QB like Luck, they're just so inept when it comes to the scouting and drafting of offensive talent that they'd probably fail building...

    the nfl and football in general was better when it wasn't a 24/7 s

    You've got to wonder how much FF is playing a role in it all. Its popularity has skyrocketed over the last decade with millions if not billions of dollars worth of business built around it. Now all of the sudden anything that can effect someone's playing time becomes news-worthy and relevant...

    the nfl and football in general was better when it wasn't a 24/7 s

    What I'd like to know is: who, within the NFL brass, thought that guys like myself, with FT jobs, a wife and kids, would actually be able to pull off watching football 3-4 days a week?

    Zero RB strategy looking good so far

    Sites like these have their place. They're great for updates, outlook/analysis, sleeper candidates, knowing where opportunities are popping up for players, etc. But when it comes to drafting or my starting lineup, I found it best just to do my own thing. Besides, at this point there are so many...

    Who is Allen Hurns?

    I understand that an unknown player will have a distinct "surprise advantage" when nobody expects the kind of production Hurns turned in last week. But then again, I have to question those who say this is the only reason Hurns put up decent stats (pointing to his unproductive 2nd half as proof)...

    Would you rather: draft Maurice Jones Drew or Steven Jackson

    I like MJD, but the problem is that week in and week out defenses are going to exploit the questionable QB situation and force Oakland to beat them through the air until they can put up some Ws playing that kind of game. I have a hard time believing the Raiders can do it. That said, if you're...

    Anyone going WR/WR in rounds 1&2?

    I didn't feel as if I had locked myself out of WR value after going WR/WR/WR. After all, you still need depth at the position for bye week and possible injury situations. I managed to pick up Watkins 2 rounds later than his ADP in that same draft, for example. I didn't feel I had to abandon the...

    Anyone going WR/WR in rounds 1&2?

    I went WR/WR/WR from the 7 slot in a no-flex, head to head, 14 team work league. Raised a lot of eyebrows doing it. The lineup requires 3 starting WRs, 2 RBs and 1 everywhere else. No playoffs. Best record wins. Total points is the tie-breaker (standard scoring for the most part). Here's how my...
