Ministry of Pain

I love the new boards and the FBG throwing down the gauntlet they ain't going nowhere!
I love the Shark pool and walking the tightrope in order to get my thoughts out and bounce ideas off the walls and minds of all of you, I thank you sincerely.
I love the energy this place starts to build as we make the turn to Opening Night!
-Let's help each other up the mountain, I've won more than my fair share over the years and so have most of you so don't get agitated when players we overlooked suddenly vault. Get on the train and open up the notebooks so we aren't 2 steps behind next off season. MoP example is I got burned BAD on Trey Sermon last year...I could fight and argue about Elijah Mitchell or I can just point to his last 5 regular season games and receiving 20+ carries in all 5 of them. I can continue to doubt Elijah and write all sorts of narratives and arcs or I can accept and make moves based on what I now know from the coaches and most beat writers in San Fran. This is just a small example, there's a bunch.
Using what I am asking, let's all work together in finding guys that are not going to be Auto-Starts.
Please tell us if we are talking Dynasty or Redraft because most folks should not be starting QBs, RBs/WRs or TEs that are not in the Top 20-25 preseason at their position going into Week 1.
-WRs that typically are drafted in the 7th-8th round or later, RBs that were usually taken as the RB3/Flex/spot starter, QBs that might not be the starter but have some easy match ups. I'll throw one out there, Jared Goff has a legitimate shot at cracking the Top 12 Week 1 vs Philly, you can wholeheartedly disagree but it looks like a potentially high scoring game to me.
The Shark pool needs to lead the way on the Exploit/Avoid, not MoP, it belongs to you all.
I will do my best to answer all questions, I would ask you kindly to please tell us who you think you want to start and why . When you post to answer, feel free to share things like Slot WR(SWR) vs Slot DB/Nickel DB and break it down for us. We need to hear about home vs road like Miami is hot/humid and a major advantage at 1:00 in September in South Florida.
-When you disapprove of what someone is posting or have an entirely different POV, I would ask you to overlook and always seek clarity because almost everyone I come across in here even in the heat of a debate can take a strep back and reset the table/post. I believe in the heartbeat of this place and we still have a lot of helpful folks that are always ready to give their opinion as long as we don't attack and keep an open mind.
Think of a perfect circle which last time I checked was 360 degrees(MoP-Math...NO!!!) but what is interesting about a circle is no matter where you are standing along the circle you are an equal distance from the center or what is sometimes referred to as the radius and even if you are at the top of the circle with 85% of the rest or sometimes like MoP and standing at the bottom with the other 15%, it's still the same distance into the middle for the pot of gold.
I'll have some players in mind with the next post or as the week and injury news unfolds but I wanted to get this started and find out which players you all are hem'n and haw'n on so I can focus on what matters. You don't need to read about Taylor, Cook, Adams and Hill because those are all auto starts. Focus on those back end slots you want to make front line slots like WR3 and RB3/Flex, that's where you separate the have and have nots IMHO.
Cheers!
