Preseason Game Observations (1 Viewer)

Lets stop quoting Keno numbers and get back to something interesting.
yeah like rice should easily be in the talk for 1 overall. I can see him finishing way above adp because of his catches
Pretty much every back in the first round has a valid argument for #1 overall. I was taking Rice over Peterson (2 weeks ago) before I started taking Mccoy over Peterson (1 week ago.) I think Rice is the safest back in the first round - mostly because of how consistent he is in the PPR format.
What about non PPR?
I personally wouldn't take Rice over Peterson #1 overall in standard. I could see an argument for Mccoy, Richardson, Lynch, Martin, Charles, Spiller and Morris though.Do people still play standard these days?
You could make an argument for anyone. No other RB has the cosistently elite track record that Peterson has. And yes, people still play standard.
why?

Why play PPR? How is that better?

because you get credit for yards

I'm agreeing with you lol.

I think ADP is the #1 in standard, but I understand and agree with some of the arguments for other players. The reason I give ADP the edge over them still is because he is consistent in that format. The same reason I take Rice over other players with higher ceilings.

I want safety out of my first pick not the highest possible ceiling.

 
Panther homers/game watchers - is Brandon LaFell a legit #2 opposite Old Man Smith? I had him pegged as a sleeper but not sure what I think about him competing for looks with Olsen, who I also think could have a solid season.

You'll have to unpack this for me.

 
Funny, ESPN radio disagrees.
I'm not sure that's helping your argument. espn's analysis is teh suck these days.
Not what I meant, and going into further detail would be a FBG message board no-no so I'll just log off for the night :)

How in the holy hell could they overturn that. ?
You know not everyone is watching that game right?

More info would be cool.
Agree.

 
Kuechly is unreal ... Best MLB in the League!

The guy is making every single play ... tackles, passes defended, forced fumbles, INTs , forced INTs ... literally every play

Im a ####. :clap:

I was obviously talking about his rushing stats you festering clam.
Do you play in a dumb format where receiving yards are somehow worth less than rushing yards?
i think he spouted off without any knowledge and now is trying to backtrack to avoid looking like a fool. Too late.
Awww, even more internet bravado. :clap:

No backtracking necessary, just reiteration of facts I already stated... in plainer English for you that got caught up in grade school.
I really hope all you jackasses #### soon and talk preseason football!!

 
Why has Stafford dropped several spots in staff projections in the last week?
Couldn't tell you, he looked okay last week and the way their defense looked week 1 and 2, youd think he would get a bump.

They look okay today though.
He's dropping to the 8th QB or so in mocks I'm doing....that appears to be the sweet spot I'm targeting.
Yeah, ive seen him going as late as the 8th round in redrafts, I won't pass on him in the 7th.

 
Joseph Fauria just moved up my dynasty board to target.

The way Pettigrew has been on the decline, and as much as it will cost the Lions to keep Scheffler on roster, I think he makes the team.

Hes had 1 reception in every game so far this preseason one of which was a TD. 6'7" 260 lbs, big hands and long arms - quicker than he looks, whats not to like.

 
My pregame observation is that Carolina needs to end up with Marqise Lee, Sammy Watkins or Donte Moncrief in next years draft.

 
Some observations from Pats/Lions game

1. Detroit DL looks great. Very little room to run for any of NE RBs and Brady saw a lot of pressure on drop backs

2. Sudfeld not as involved in the passing game as I would have thought. Or at least not targeted that often

3. Reggie Bush is going to catch a ton of passes. ( we already knew that though :) )

4. Thompkins looked great. He's the WR to get after Amendola. Brady clearly trusts him and they look like they have pretty good chemistry already

5. Dobson looked pretty good catching the ball and had a nice block that sprung Thompkins for a big gainer

6. The Lions have nothing at WR out there. If Calvin misses time it's going to be ugly on offense in the reg season. Patrick Edwards and Burleson started tonight and didn't impress at all IMO

7. Bolden looks more explosive than Blount in the battle for Ridleys back up but he coughed up the ball on a screen pass

 
tsmith still will not be targeted a lot even though boldin is not in town.....?
It doesn't matter who is playing besides him, he's a home run threat and nothing else. People here like to fight for some reason why he's not, but they're wrong. He's great in best ball formats, terrible on your fantasy roster. He will scored 2 TD's in one game then the following week catch 1 pass for 5 yards. AVOID!
it's looking like this.
He hasn't even been taking snaps...

Broyles has looked good when targetted.

Expect his value to rise as the season goes on and defenses start cracking down on Bush and Megatron.

I must have missed him out there. I guess Sudfeld and Vereen were benched too which makes sense since I didn't notice them at all after their fumbles

I play in a couple non-PPR leagues... sometimes it's fun to have a little variety in your life my friend.

I've been on the Charles @ 1.01 wagon since like May. I'm not shifting that opinion and haven't as I've drafted him in three different leagues so far. Albeit none where I have 1.01. I've gotten him at 1.03, 1.08 and 1.05. In my most recent one I really did think about it being possible that McCoy is the better pick. But I'll stick with my gut on Charles. I think he's being severely underestimated in terms of his scoring production. People keep seeing his single digit TDs and seem to ignore that his past production was with Romeo Crennel and Matt Cassel running the show. Big big difference now. He may not have 20 TDs like McCoy but I think 15 is perfectly reasonable to assume.
