What's Vexing You Q&A linked above.

Includes my thoughts on camp battles, injuries, process, strategies, DFS, and lots more.

 
Full Guru Series now posted, along with Bets for IDP Breakouts by Dave Larkin. I'm posting an RTD with camp notes today. Tier updates coming this week.

 
Updated the DL tiers to reflect the expected re-classification of Khalil Mack.

Posted LB tiers.

Recording next podcast tomorrow night.

Awesome stuff Jene, thanks. Any thoughts on putting more emphasis on those of us who play in big play leagues? I play in 4 leagues and 3 of them would be considered to be big play leagues. The tiers stuff is an awesome read, but not getting much info as to see how the tiers would break out for big play leagues, especially the LB tier. You really only talk about 3 players in the LB article adn they are pretty obvious. Just curious to see where you would have guys like Kuechley intercede with Kerrigan in a big play league. And also some tiers after that. A big play league article would be greatly appreciated.

I realize you only have so much time, just giving a little feedback to hopefully get something going for those of us who play in big play leagues. I have seen more and more of these pop up in recent years.

 
Second the request for some big-play specific analysis! As is, what you're giving us is solid enough to extrapolate, but would love to see the tailored info as well.

I hear you guys. I prefer leagues skewed toward the big play side of balanced, too.

Tiers and camp notes (and injury updates) will take precedence here, but I'll try really hard to put together a strategy feature with some data in the next couple of weeks.

Thank you Jene. The obvious sack heavy guys are easy to sort out and I would imagine your DL tier would be the same or very similar for a big play league vs. standard. The issue I have is where to slot the heavy sack edge rushers with the David, Kuechley, Bowman, Mosley type of guys and what other LB's that may not get a ton of sacks will get enough and a lot of tackles to make them more valuable in a big play than standard and where would they rank (i.e. guys like Barr and Ogletree). Basically a LB tiers/rankings (even a top 20) would be huge. I don't even need a lot of comments, rankings/tiers with one sentence per player would have me satisfied. The DL side as well. I don't think we'd need much more than a tidbit or two on DB's because it is a crapshoot.

I don't want this to come off as complaining. I think everyone appreciates your articles. Your tiers and RTD are some of the main reasons I subscribe to this site. Just hoping you can share your expertise in some leagues that I see becoming more and more common.

I'm going to re-run the numbers today or this weekend. My guess will be strategy recommendations will be similar to this "oldie, but goodie" from 2008.

But I'm not certain enough to say the same seven years later. I doubt I'll be redoing the tiers, but the plan would be to present the data, make some general strategy recommendations, and note some players who would move significantly. Given the differences in big play systems, my suggestion is always to run things through the customizable MyFBG tool or a sham MFL league and see exactly how the value changes.

Depending on what the data suggests I may add a big play booster column to the LB tiers (and possibly the DL tiers) to show my leanings vs John's projections and what ADP data I've been able to cobble.

Done and posted above.

I'll make some adjustments to the tier article, too.

Where would you rank Kikaha as a DL? He is listed as DE in my league and I'm sure his value increases some.

Upside DL3 at best. I'm not sure how he'll fare as an all-around player as a rookie. And I'm generally not high on rookie edge rushers. Maybe there's Anthony Barr potential here, but I'm going to need some on-field convincing.

Also, I'm not seeing Denzel Perryman

Thanks, I'll add him into the dynasty stash tier.

Does Swearinger emerging mean a slight downgrade for McDougald? There's already a bit of competition for tackles on that defense.

 
Hi Jene,

In your last article among every down LBs Sio Moore is still in Oakland.

Other than that, do you think that in Miami will be Sheppard and not Misi to play every down?

Bummed there was no IDP podcast before real life week 1 this year. Expected one to drop 9/8/16 or 9/9/16. Nope. 

:(
