depends on scoring.
Ok, that's pretty heavy scoring so I'd go pretty far to get him. Especially if you also get points for receiving TDs.
This depends on scoring and lineup needs. I think he is great but I am doing a mock now for a league that will startup later in year and doing a mock to see how things shake out. Watt was the top scorer there but they start 1 DL, 1 LB and 1 DB and 1 Flex for 16 team league. I thought 6 was too high because he has to be huge each year to be worth it. 2 years ago he was the 20th player overall and you only have to have 1. I know VBD puts him ahead but you start 6 skill players and supply and demand speak differently in a 16 team league.
any time you devalue a position, values will be skewed.
Everything always depends on scoring and lineup needs. Just for perspective...
I like it for the team traded Watt. This is a good draft coming up. That 2nd rounder could get one O player which is almost all leagues is what wins championships(or the 2 I am in) and than a nice LB on top of this. Quinn is nothing to sneeze at and as proven in 2013, he could outscore Watt as the most capable player to do it. Bowman coming back is just gravy.
I'm assuming balanced scoring. If the 2nd round O players help you win more than Watt would, that would indicate unbalanced scoring.
Just last year in a 16 team league I am in, I got M. Bryant, Shazier and Bortles in the 2nd round. In my other home league I got Landry at the 2.16 and Mosley went 2.8 to another team. I would take a deal with any 2 of those 3 in it for Watt today to downgrade to Quinn and add Bowman also. Or getting Landry and Mosley
ok. so roughly 1/3 of 2nd round picks. he got two of them so maybe he'll get lucky but that's a 66% chance of getting one player of the caliber you listed.
I wouldn't give Watt for this package in a 12 team deal but clearly some would.
He's certainly a larger advantage at DE than just about anyone else is at their respective positions in most scoring systems. I wouldn't think it was crazy if somebody tried it.
Your league must be slanted towards offensive statistics. In my league, which is pretty standard both offensively and defensively, he would have been TE1, WR8, and RB5. PPR league, too. However, in my league, he was barely outscored by Luke Kuechly and DeAndre Levy defensively. Levy scored 294.5, Kuechly 293, JJ 292.90. He finished miles ahead of next highest DL, which was JPP at 191.50.
Guess that's scoring dependent cause his 2014 and 2012 seasons were nearly identical in my leagues.
In my league:
Yah.
Oh, yeah. 2014 was his career year. I won't speak for others, but my expectations are somewhere between 2012 and 2013 for the next 3 years. As he nears 30, and eventually crosses over to the other side, I'd expect his numbers to start to tail a bit (but still be one of the top players at his position), but there's really no reason to expect that to happen between now and then.
okay. the man is 26 years old, younger than half of the top 10 offensive players.
Return yards and in 2014 he had offensive TDs and receptions as well.FUBAR said:
I love your side if 1 QB league.
Nah, I don't think so, he was already on a super-elite-upper-tier by himself. Dynasty startup draft I'm in, he was taken at #2 overall. Same guy had both picks and took Luck with #1.
I would've definitely considered Watt in the first round, and I think I was pick #7.
yes, balanced... and .5 ppr
