I've played fantasy football for many years, along with all sorts of other competitive games.  One thing that always fascinates me is how the perceived "endgame" of high-level strategy evolves over time, and it feels to me like FF's made a huge leap there in the last few years. For most of the...

anyone else not like him this week?  worried about gameflow i feel like he'll be the odd one out for me, behind Powell/Rawls/Crowder (PPR league, 2RB/2WR/flex).  Crowder is the one i'm least confident starting over him, but i figure his game should be way more pass-heavy.

think i'm starting 3 RBs this week for the first time all year (PPR flex league) and he's one of them.  playing him over Baldwin, which seems fairly obvious given the expected gameflow here

benching him but only because i have Ryan and he's shown he can still do great even in blowout wins

i totally agree with you in principle, and was trying to imply that.  i'm just saying, NFL franchises feel pressure to generate some kind of excitement so fans keep coming to their games, and unfortunately i could see that happening here.  i'm bracing myself for that, hence why i'm thinking...

the problem is, neither is any QB in this year's draft.  seriously, the top-ranked prospect on most boards completed 58% of his passes this year. the smart long-term move would be to wait and punt another season for a better opportunity at QB, but can you sell the fanbase on that? i would have...

this officially puts him ahead of David Johnson for points per game in my league (just counting games played obv) i have him but got the first-round bye, always a strange feeling

hasn't Julio always been more of a boom-or-bust guy than other elite WRs?  i don't think it's ridiculous to consider benching him in situations like this.

good call, thank you for this.   :thumbup:  i only remembered the Seahawks years with him, but seems even they weren't as bad as i thought.

i was talking about this in another thread, but if Rawls plays like this the rest of the way...why wouldn't he be a deserving 1st-round pick next year?  stud RBs are scarcer than ever, he has a lot of similarities to Lynch in the way he plays, he'd have more of a track record than David Johnson...

the thing with OBJ and Julio is that they've been more boom-or-bust than expected for first-round WRs, so people perceive them as not worth the 1st.  i drafted OBJ 3rd overall, and it's stung a little because David Johnson was the other guy i was considering there...but i still realize this has...

the big 3 RBs should easily be the top 3 overall picks in any league next year.  position scarcity heavily favors them over WRs even in PPR.  i'd go DJ > Zeke > Le'veon because i want as little risk as possible in the first round. AB should be the clear #4 in any league i think, though...

Ricky Watters doesn't get more love because he played on losing teams and had a reputation as a giant A hole.  Easier to paint him as part of the problem than a guy like Gore. this thread got it right, but i'd like to make an aside and discuss the "too many people in the Hall" talking point: i...

8-5, #2 seed and 1st round bye in 10-team PPR flex league.  got incredibly lucky to keep the bye, as i lost my last 3 in a row... league has strict roster requirements BTW, so get ready for more D/K than usual! QB: Brady, Ryan (went undrafted, early WW pickup for me) RB: Le'veon, Ingram...

drafted HOU and held onto them all year, and already picked up SD for the fantasy playoffs.  got the bye this week too, so that works out great since neither of them have good matchups. HOU has to be the play for week 15, but it's 16 that i'm working on now - SD @ CLE vs. CIN @ HOU.  my...
