Not sure if this was a serious question, but 97th...What does it say as far as when to draft a kicker?
You can tweak the settings to ignore kickers until the later rounds.Not sure if this was a serious question, but 97th...What does it say as far as when to draft a kicker?
You realize you don't have to do what DD tells you to do, right?#1, though? I pick #4. I mean, I guess I could consider him there, but not #1.
What ?!?!?!?!You realize you don't have to do what DD tells you to do, right?#1, though? I pick #4. I mean, I guess I could consider him there, but not #1.
His totals would say he got 12 points on punt returns last year, but he actually got 5.Long Ball Larry said:Although he only returns punts right? And how many yards does he actually get each week. Often under 25, right? So his total could look like more than it actually would be, since it is scored on a weekly basis.You get both the ppr and his kick return yardage?
not much difference#1, though? I pick #4. I mean, I guess I could consider him there, but not #1.
If you're using default settings in DD, it's likely that Brown is undervalued by DD. Remember that there are no top RBs this year without questions; you have Murray changing teams, Peterson coming back from a suspension, Bell suspended. That leaves Lynch, who most don't have quite on the same tier as those other guys would have been if they were still in last year's situation.With my scoring system and roster spots, DD is telling me that Antonio Brown has a higher VBD than any of the RBs.
Does this sound right?
Active roster:
2 RBs
2 WRs
1 Flex (RB,WR,TE)
etc.
Pretty much this.Ben is locked onto Brown, and so far, no one has really been able to stop it. He's about as safe of a pick as you can have right now.
Exactly. If you don't take brown or Gronk first overall it's only because you value rb that much more than any other position.not much difference#1, though? I pick #4. I mean, I guess I could consider him there, but not #1.
Generally DD can undervalue RBs a bit ... if a RB and WR are close, or within 10% VBD, and I need a RB more than a WR, I'll pick the RB.Exactly. If you don't take brown or Gronk first overall it's only because you value rb that much more than any other position.not much difference#1, though? I pick #4. I mean, I guess I could consider him there, but not #1.
Same dilemma. Will likely have a shot at Charles or Murray but wonder of I should take brown in standard...What about non-ppr? I feel like Dez and Demaryius have more of a track record for putting up great numbers. I'm picking 6th and the top 5 RB's i want will most likely be gone. Might go WR since I just don't trust C.J Anderson or Forte in standard TD heavy format. I'm thinking either Dez or Demaryius over AB.
Murray has a lot of risk; he's going from the perfect situation to one where the lead RB scored just 5 TDs last year, with his backup getting 62 targets (to 37 for the starter). I'd easily take Brown and a half-dozen other WRs over Murray.Same dilemma. Will likely have a shot at Charles or Murray but wonder of I should take brown in standard...What about non-ppr?

You wish.flapgreen said:Bell, fellas. Drop off between him and rb toward end of first round is huge. I'll take my chances with a wr at end of 2nd. A lot more of those to go around.
You mean that year he went 110/1500?nyGIANTSnj said:I get it Brown was great last year and decent the year before (not great). PPR I totally would take Brown but not convinced the TD's will be more than Dez or DT. I'm going to go against the popular pick this year.
So... why do you care? You don't have pick #1, so I guess it doesn't matter that you wouldn't take him there.Eph said:#1, though? I pick #4. I mean, I guess I could consider him there, but not #1.

what'd the rest of your draft look like? interested as I have 1.02 in my 10 team draft and thinking either Brown there or one of Bell, Charles or Lacy. Just interested in how your actual draft compares to the mocks Ive done.I went with Antonio Brown at 1.03 in our 12 team ppr. He was #1 VBD overall by a good margin. First pick was Lacy. Bell was 2nd.
I had 1.3 in two drafts yesterday and went rb with the pick in one (lacy) and brown in the other.the lacy draft looks much better. Got lacy, gronk (yeah, i was shocked ), hilton, hopkins and ingram to start that draft. Got brown, Cobb, forsett (just missed hill), graham, ingram. Both drafts romo and rivers are my QB.what'd the rest of your draft look like? interested as I have 1.02 in my 10 team draft and thinking either Brown there or one of Bell, Charles or Lacy.

Would enjoy getting something similar to that in mine.

Gronk is an insanely polarizing player. In the lacy draft people were constantly saying 'yeah, I love Gronk, but I can't pull the trigger on a te that high'. I chuckled and gladly took him. In the brown draft he went at 1.9 and the guy thought he stole him there. In reality, it only takes one guy to fall in love with a player.Would enjoy getting something similar to that in mine.

Because we combine WR and TEs his stock is very high in my league (projected REC9). Would love for him to fall to me at 2.09. There aren't really any other players I'd rather have at that 2nd round turn. doubt he's there though.Gronk is an insanely polarizing player.

All in all, imo, if you go with brown in the first, I think you have to take a rb in the second. If i got hill and, say, hilton or Jeffery in the 3rd, I'd be much happier than i am with cobb and forsett.
First thing I thought when I read the title is "I bet the league rewards kick returns".12 team
Roster: QB, 2RB, 2WR, RB/WR/TE, TE, PK, 2DB, 2LB, 1Dflex
0.5 PPR
1pt/10yards receiving and rushing
1pt/25yards passing
25yds/pt for KR/PR
Yes, that is the case. But DD is projecting only 216 PR yards, no KR, and 0.27 TDs on PRs. That comes out to only about 10 extra points for the whole year in my scoring system..First thing I thought when I read the title is "I bet the league rewards kick returns".12 team

Antonio Brown is a cheat code in kick return leagues. 1 point per 25 isn't a huge bonus, but it's like an extra 120-150 receiving yards and 1 touchdown a year compared to his non-returner peers.
I've got Antonio Brown in a league that counts punt return yards the same as receiving yards, and Brown is miles ahead of every other WR in that format. In my format, Antonio Brown scored 514 points last year and second-place Demaryius Thomas had 414. In fact, Brown was further ahead of Thomas than Rob Gronkowski was ahead of Coby Fleener.
Return yards are the biggest example, in my opinion, of the advantage a savvy owner can gain by knowing his scoring rules inside and out.
Then don't take him #1. Take who you want.Eph said:#1, though? I pick #4. I mean, I guess I could consider him there, but not #1.
Ummm. Thanks for the insightful response.Then don't take him #1. Take who you want.Eph said:#1, though? I pick #4. I mean, I guess I could consider him there, but not #1.
Is it free for FBG subscribers? Can it import our settings from the PC version of DD?I'll be using the mobile DD and utilizing its dynamic VBD capabilities. Its the best way Ive found to gain an edge at each of my picks over the competition. Simon Shepherd has really enhanced the capabilities of this tool.

its $5. You setup your settings in either my FBG or inside the app itself (better and more precise settings). Will sych to myFBG. Its awesome.
