It wouldn't hurt if they gave him an NFL TE, too. It's been a while since he's had one. Wait, has he ever had one?
I’d be happy with hock fant or even erv Smith I’m the 1st if we can trade back (maybe more than once) and get some extra mid rd picks. If we take Hockenson at 8 I’ll feel we left some defensive talent there we need more. Lions fans, at least I think, want to trade back every year because it always seems we don’t have depth but never do. I think this is the year.
Giant middle finger to Eric Ebron, who certainly looked like an NFL TE with a better QB last year.
Meh, we'll see if Ebron keeps it up. Remember, he was playing limited snaps when Doyle was healthy. Feels like 2018 will be an outlier for his career. Regardless of what he did in Indy, he didn't play like that in Detroit and I really don't think you can blame QB play on that. Other players thrived during that same time span.
I wouldn’t mind Hockenson at all but agree not at 8. Depending on what happens with QBs there should be a good dline prospect sitting there. If not trade back and try to add selections.
If you broke Ebron's seasons into halves the most efficient and arguably best stretch of his career was his last 8 games with the Lions. Did not score TD's like last year but the drops were nil and the efficiency was great and was the entire previous season as well. And I've said this a few times regarding him but if you really break down his career other then first half of the the 2017 season he'd been on a steady upward climb with the Lions.
Thomas had an amazing catch rate last year. Some of that is Brees being so good. But it would be very tough to repeat. His targets would need to go up to make up for a drop in percentage of catches. Do you think Thomas gets more than 150 targets? Also, Adams was much more solid on a week to week basis. His consistency was amazing. At least 16 every week. I have them close but Adams higher by about 30 points next season because of my worries about Brees age and the great catch rate.
It's certainly possible, but we're talking about the difference between one of the most efficient QBs in NFL history over the first 10 games and a poor man's Christian Ponder in the last 8 (counting playoffs). That is one heck of a mighty swing to credit to Kupp.
I have a 1.05 and would welcome this scenario. I'm projecting my choices to be between Butler/Montgomery.
Straight up? Here's a list of a few that I view close.
I can say I have Aaron Jones and the Titans are my team, and I would not trade Jones for Davis.
I think this is the right range. To get Dalvin Cook you would have to add something.
This is exactly why I ask. I'm tired of putting this guy out there so mariota can die midgame.
Would you take a late 1st? I'm looking to buy for the upside and Sammy Watkins myself....
I don't play in these types of leagues so I'm no expert, but I would think it would devalue the fringe players (as there's always going to be someone on the waiver who can potentially catch 40 yards and luck their way into the endzone), and extremely increase the value of players the top tier players who you can count on week in week out.
These leagues have 30+ man rosters so the waiver wire is extremely barren.
With my team makeup I'm looking at a running back, but all things being neutral I would think long and hard about a late first and Watkins.
I think my point still stands. Everyone is starting a Brandon lafell or laquon tredwell, during the bye weeks, it doesn't matter at the end of the year there's 10 points between them overall.
Difference with Watkins is buffalo is a team that's always in rebuild. The titans aren't going to move their no1 pick from two seasons ago. Which is a good or bad thing depending on how you feel about tenn.
I don't think it stands. You're saying depth players have the same value whether they are starters or bench players?wgoldsph said:
And I'm assuming the people who are starting crap in the 11th spot are starting a stronger 2nd rb or wr, which I think is more valuable than the less than one point difference per game you'd find between the 100th and 160th wr.
That isn't the question...
It's a huge difference in strategy for me between start 8 leagues and start 11 leagues, especially with the added info that we're talking about 30+ man rosters.kittenmittens said:
It depends how many teams are in the league. QBs are essentially next to worthless in 12-team (or lower) leagues.
I think the issue is that Sanders is 32 and coming off a devastating torn Achilles injury. I don't think many would even want to roster him let alone give up any kind of value whatsoever for him.
In short roster FFPC league I don't think anyone cut Sanders, for sure not in my leagues. You certainly touched on the negatives but reportedly he is progressing well and it was encouraging that Denver did not cut him and save a good chunk of salary.
I’d agree on Carr since he’s pretty worthless but would keep Ryan over Sanders and the pick. Denver was on the hook for like $6.5MM even if they cut him, but you are right they would have saved money. I’m just not going to trust a guy that’s 32 coming back from an achilles year. Surely not impossible but I just don’t think it’s worth the risk because how great will he be even if healthy?
If they'd cut him they'd have still owed him $1.5 and he would have counted $4.2M in dead money. Instead they decided to pay him his over $10M and take on a cap hit of close to $13M. In net cutting him vs retaining him was exactly $8.75M. In essence they decided to give him $8.75M for one year instead of cutting him. Maybe they don't know a thing about his progress from his achilles but that seems doubtful to me so I found it highly encouraging they retained him. As for how good he'll be if healthy I"d think pretty good, he was excellent last season and I think Flacco is an upgrade on Keenum.
About a month before cut downs, Sanders was traded for the 7.01 in one of my FFPC leagues. He has very minimal value. Daeshawn Hamilton however was cut in multiple FFPC leagues of mine. Seems backwards to me.
I agree his value is low in FFPC and in general. I would also strongly argue that Carr is worth less and Ryan in same ballpark.
Carr seems like a great buy low right now. If I was holding 2 QB's in FFPC and platooning them until 1 separates themselves, I would love to have Carr as one of those hopefuls. Hell I might even be comfortable with him as my only QB and risk it if my team isn't in great shape. If I'm being super optimistic about Carr, I can see a case being made for him being a top10 dynasty QB.
Fumbled into the end zone out of bounds week 15 two years ago to cost me a championship. Never again will I own Carr!
Moore and Pettis are the only ones I really like from last year. Ridley and Kirk both showed enough to be the "bird in the hand" for this kind of hypothetical, but JJAW appears to have more upside than they do. To me he seems a little similar to Sutton, but I like him better.Dr. Dan said:
Thanks. I may have an opportunity to swap Anthony Miller for 1.10, which would put me in a situation to draft a wr with more upside
Interested to hear what others have to say. Personally, I would rather have a 21 year old KJ.
If the league is active with trading though, you probably get what you want by taking the 1.2 offer now and turning it into a 2020 1st at some conveient time near your rook draft...
I have the 1.8, 1.10, 1.11, and 2.2 picks in one of my drafts. Just curious who you think you'll target/land there?
A lot can change with the draft but there are a handful of WRs id like to have a couple of, and being TE premium I'm interested in Hockenson, Fant and Sternberger.
