OK, I see what you're saying but I also think that the example you gave would be a great situation for a guy who's going up against Peyton Manning to start Garcon that week. It's true we don't know who the main target will be in a given week, but I think we're talking about playing the odds...

Hang on a second, Angus. I can understand that you might not feel totally comfortable employing the strategy, or you prefer a different approach, but surely you agree that there is an actual, real-time correlation between the performance of a WR and the performance of his NFL QB, right? Now...

This debate comes up every season but it seems to me the answer has been worked out, at least conclusively enough for me. First, the glib reply "start your best player" is essentially meaningless because, unless you're psychic, no one can know in advance who the "best" (ie highest scoring)...

This is based on merely a couple of things I've read and deduced, but my understanding is that they prefer Betts' blocking skills and they want to protect Drew on passing downs. But I'd bet that Ivory is still going to see carries, especially around the goal line and when they need a first...

hmm... Well, I don't know who this Scott McFarlane guy of "COX TV" is, but that tweet looks to be just some personal prediction pulled completely out of his @55, and if his NFL insight is at the same level as his political perspective, I'd say Ivory is due for a big day tomorrow.

I can see the logic in keeping IR limited to players who are PUP in the NFL. Keeps it simple. But also simple is what we do in my league, which is to charge a fairly substantial fee for IR and simply let owners put any player they want there. Because logical and straightforward as it may be to...

We have a Keeper league, but with 3 features that encourage trades: 1) We have a Salary Cap (ie a maximum amount that a team can spend to retain all of it's Keepers). 2) Each player's salary is pre-determined and based on years of service. The first season a player is retained his salary is...

OK, let me back it up and I'll try to be be more exact. I think in a hypothetical game Manning's 2007 Super Bowl team (his only championship winner) would have a pretty good chance to beat Montana's first Super Bowl team, (the '81/'82 team that got there via The Catch). But those other Montana...

Obviously, Peyton is one of the greatest QBs in NFL history. Top 5 all-time for sure, and hey, maybe he's #2. But a threat to overtake Joe Montana at the top of the mountain? C'mon let's get serious. Montana's record speaks for itself, (two time NFL MVP, 8 Pro Bowls, 273 career TD passes, over...

:clap:

I know this comes up once in a while, and maybe someone has done the stats to show otherwise, but I say in the example you gave (ie all things being more or less equal) you go with Jackson. There's very likely a correlation between Rivers and V-Jax scoring, right? If Rivers has a bad day the...

Now *this* seems sensible to me. The fantasy solution for kickers should be like it is for every other NFL position: minimize luck and try to model performance and skill in as realistic a way as possible. And I think it would be cool to factor in punters and return specialists, assuming you...

That's great except for one thing: Like it or not, Kickers actually are "real" NFL players.

Maybe not, but isn't the basic idea of fantasy football to model actual pro football as closely as possible? If somebody could come up with a way to evaluate punters or return specialists or O-lines statistically I'd have no problem factoring the contributions of those positions into the...

Maybe Berrian was drag racing ADP!
