Free Agents in Rookie/FA drafts (1 Viewer)

[steelcityman]

So now we know where everyone is, what say you on these free agents in dynasty format, and where about do you think they will go in Rookie/FA drafts?

Josh Hill, TE, NOLA

Cody Latimer, WR, DEN

David Carr, QB, OAK

Darren McFadden, RB, DAL

Chris Ivory, RB, NYJ

Troy Niklas, TE, ARZ

Blake Bortles, QB, JAX

 

[jwb]

while not world beaters, I don't see most of these guys as being available in dynasty leagues. Maybe Niklas and Hill. But across my six dynasty leagues, those are the only two that aren't on a roster.

Cody Latimer, WR, DEN

Latimer is a free agent in a dynasty league?

In rookie drafts people tend to overlook the free agents until Round 2, but Latimer should be considered late in Round 1.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Josh Hill, TE, NOLA - 2.11 - 3.03

Cody Latimer, WR, DEN - 1.10 - 2.04

David Carr, QB, OAK - wherever Winston or Mariota would go in your league - 2.05 - 2.12

Darren McFadden, RB, DAL - No thanks really but 3.09 - 3.11

Chris Ivory, RB, NYJ - 3.05 - 3.08

Troy Niklas, TE, ARZ - undrafted

Blake Bortles, QB, JAX - 3.01 - 3.05

I'm guessing these guys are available in HIS league

Yes, they were cut or not on a roster at end of season. They are free agents going into the rookie/Free agent draft this year.

There are some more decent names, but I dont fell like typing out the whole list.

I thought Josh Hill was the TE to own now in NOLA, and Sean Payton has been telling, anyone who will listen, how good this guy can be.

 

[thriftyrocker]

I'd add Dontrell Inman, Chris Matthews, Rob Housler, and Duron Carter to that list (in that order).

In a shallow league I'd favor guys who have a chance now, so i'd be a little more willing to drop a late 2nd on DMC.

 

[scothawk]

I would take Hill and Carr before Maxx or the 2QB this year

Latimer after Cooper and White for sure. Maybe a couple of others as well.

 

[steelcityman]

How do you think Josh Huff stand in Philly now that they got Agholor? Are they going to be in 3 wides(Matthews, Agholor, Huff) enough to make Huff rosterable?

Probably not. They like to have Riley Cooper on the field because of his run blocking and it being a run based offense.

Aaron Dobson was a free agent during our dynasty rookie draft. I picked him with pick 4.10.

 

[loose circuits]

Quinton Patton belongs in this thread. I took him in the 5th in a 12x30 PPR and all reports have his role growing

Wow, Latimer was a FA?

Yes you only get to keep 14 position players in the FFPC and have to cut down by 2/28 each year and the guy who owned Latimer was stacked and he even tried to trade him to anyone who wanted him in the league for a future 5th or 6th round pick and no one traded for him so he felt he had to cut him to keep his more important 14 players. Then Latimer fell to the 2.12 of this draft. I debated taking him at the 2.11 but I had great depth at WR and zero at RB so I took a shot at McFadden at 2.11 which I regret now but the draft is back in mid May.

This is also a 1.5 TE PPR league I took Hill at 2.2 pick back when Peyton was glowing about him but recent news has knocked Hill's value down a peg though I am not buying a near 35 year old Watson as being the lead dog there like 1 report said.

The FFPC dynasty leagues are a different world than a normal dynasty league 20 man in season roster, no taxi squad, cut down 14 position players plus 1 K 1 DF by 2/28 each year. Lots of good players get cut every year because of early cut time and sometimes its rough to wait on players for a year or two as they kill a roster spots you can't have too many of them and still compete with byes/injuries.

That is a keeper league, not Dynasty.

My thought too but an expanded one.

 

[NeverEnough]

Would the majority rank Hill over Rookie Maxx Williams in dynasty?

I would not.

I would not.

At this point I would take Walford over him too.

Why would it be crazy to prefer Walford to Hill in a dynasty league? Hill could surely be replaced by next season.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Roy Helu is available in my PPR dynasty. I'll take him in the 3rd if available.

 

[Gianluca]

Austin Serefin-Jenkins is available in ours. Just PPR for TE no special scoring. I'm looking at Williams mid 2nd but if he's taken I have a late rd 2 pick 2.11 that I will use on ASJ if he's there. Not sure how others are viewing him though.

Go to the FFPC and file a complaint. They call them dynasty leagues. I argued back in 2010 that they should have some kind of taxi squad like 3 players for 1 year or anything but got told how easier that makes things and real men play in hard core dynasty leagues with no taxi squad and with cut downs to 14 players.
