Thoughts on Ryan Williams being a serious RBBC member or more in Arizona this year?

Who has the most catches in Indianapolis in year?

There has been talk of 3-4 QBs going in the first round in start-1 leagues this year. Are you a supporter of that strategy in general?

Thoughts on David Wilson's role this year? Can he pass Bradshaw as the 1A by the end of 2013?

 
I did a first draft of my PPR rankings/tiers recently, without looking at any other cheat sheets or sources. Afterwards, I compared my rankings with FBG rankings and ADP. I was surprised to find Darren Sproles has an ADP of RB14, in the third round. Darren Sproles finished as the #5 running back in PPR last season and I had a late first round grade (12 teams) assigned to him. He may not have the upside for 300+ touches, but his relatively low touch total did not lead to inconsistency, he only had one single digit point week.

Anyways, I wanted to hear what your opinions were on Sproles. I know Bloom has been saying you have to draft a running back in the first, and Sproles seems like a consistent, solid PPR RB1 that you can get in the second round.

 
Hi Guys!

Regarding drafting in a 12 team redraft PPR with 3 WRs and a RB/WR/TE flex, can you ever see going RB RB RB this year?

With the depth at WR, and the dearth at RB, and assuming Graham and Gronk go fairly early, can you envision a “value” or “tier” situation where you might be tempted, especially if you are drafting in the first half of a snake draft?

 
Hey guy - love the show!! Longtime listener, first time questioner.

Been drafting fantasy teams in multiple formats for about 15 years, and I've never subscribed to any particular theory in any given year. Pretty much always went with BPA. Here's my question (similar to football newbie's question above)...

Do you draft for value regardless of position? Or do you fill out your positions with BPA PER POSITION? In other words, in a start 2RB/3WRs league, would you draft a 3rd RB before your #1WR (or 2nd WR or 3rd WR) if your leaguemates have made a run on the top WRs and a forecasted top 12-20 RB falls to you?

Saw the WR trend peak last year and I stocked up on RBs (BPA) with pretty solid results so I'm curious if you guys hold a particular 'rule' against that draft strategy?

 
Hey Guys,

PPR choices at RB: Doug Martin vs. Ahmad Bradshaw vs. Frank Gore vs. Roy Helu

PPR choices at WR: Marcus Colston vs. Demaryius Thomas vs. Percy Harvin vs. Jeremy Maclin

If you're looking for upside, which guy do you choose if you only get one from each group?

Thanks!

 
I sold some of my veteran talent for future 1st rd picks in 2013 without really thinking it through. Now looking at the upcoming draft class I'm concerned that may have been a bad move. Is 2013 without any elite stud talents (megatron, aj green, trich types), should I think about selling them next April? Who are some of the best talents for 2013 and are they worth getting excited about?

And Thanks for the bday shout out last week for my little man!

 
What's up guys? I'd like to hear some discussion on tight ends (other than Gronk and Graham) specifically for leagues that give TEs 1.5 PPR.

 
Hey guys,

I would normally say Gentlemen, but I listen to you every week, so I know better.

Last week I somehow messed up my question so I will ask again...what I would like to hear about is what you think of Kendricks this year as a sleeper...News has been possitive this offseason, especially with the OC change

My question this week is about Greg Little. The Shark Pool has had a pretty good debate going on about Little's potential

Some think he will be no better than a low end wr3 to out of the league in 4 yrs.....others like myself think he could put up wr2 numbers as early as this year. What are your views?

 
Love the show, thanks for all your time and effort!

Here's a rookie question now that we've gotten a taste from OTAs/minicamps: Excluding Richardson, Luck, and RG III, what rookie would you "bang the table" for in a dynasty rookie draft -- in short, who do you each think is going to end up most outplaying his current dynasty rookie draft ADP?

 
#scrubbingthecarpet

I would also like to hear opinions on Little so good question there.

In a 12-team .5ppr dynasty I just traded Hakeem Nicks, Ronnie Hillman, and a 2013 2nd for Trent Richardson and their 2012 7th rounder

Richardson replaces either the Den backfield or the Indy backfield as RB2 (still own Indy backfield and McGahee) to go with McFadden as RB1

However this move weakened my WRs pretty badly, as my squad is now completely young and unproven: DT, Little, Cobb, Laurent Robinson, Alshon Jeffrey (I respectfully disagree Mr. Bloom), Jerom Simpson, and Juron Criner.

Do I need to make a move for a more solid WR1 to replace Nicks, or is this crew promising enough to go into the season with? I have been an also ran in this league for some time, finishing third for the last few seasons. Want to make a serious title run this year if possible, but definitely next year with T-Rich in year two.

 
Hello guys, would you give up the following:

2 x 1st's (2012 1.07 & 1 x 2013 1st rounder)

4 x 2nd's (2012 2.07 & 2 x 2013 2nd rounders)

2 x 3rd's (2012 3.05 & 1 x 2013 3rd rounder)

for Matthew Stafford in a 10-team non-PPR league?

What's up great show guys.

Is there any strategy with the flex positions (RB,WR,TE) in a 1 point PPR League? Or do you just draft your best team and worry about the flex later when dealing with your weekly lineup?

One of my leagues is a start 1QB; 1RB; 3WR; 1TE; 1Flex and I've never thought about strategy for this flex position. Usually just play it like a rb spot.

 
I'm interested in the Greg Little info too, especially Matt's take on his talent-something hotly debated in the thread. In the (awesome) 2011 RSP Matt described Little's positives thusly

route running

receiving

elite level elusiveness

elite level balance

elite level vision

elite level power

Wondering how he and the rest of the crew view Little after one season. Also, the Cleveland offense in general as I wonder how high to draft Trent Richardson. Why was Cleveland's rushing attack very good in 2010 but crappy the next year with largely the same personnel? New OC is the big difference I suppose. And how do we get "clarity" (cheers) on the effect on Richardson this year?

Also, I'm drafting 4th in a 12 team redraft. I'm considering taking Jennings in the 2nd round partially because one guy in my division will have Rodgers, so this would be to offset that. I will play him 3 times so any TDs to Jennings would be a net advantage for me. It would be a tiebreaker consideration and not a primary driver. Wondering what you think of that strategy.

Thanks for everything, you guys are officially awesome

 
Question: Will you guys ever make any changes in your recording process to improve audio fidelity? (e.g. microphones, studio time, different software, etc). Bloom and Waldman in particular often sound like they're speaking through tin cans.

 
I would like to thank Cecil, Sig, jene, and wildmanfor always delivering a Rock N Roll show.

SaF here, and my question concerns thr supplemental draft. When was the last time a supplemental drafted player that hit big, and how does Wesley and Gorden stack up? Already read wildman's write up of Gordon.

Thanks and keep on coke scrubbing and motorboating

 
Great show. Drafting in the 12th slot, in a 2 flex PPR league, should I consider RBs with my first 4 picks? I can possibly get 4 of the top 18 RBs. I'm seeing a lot of depth at the other positions.

 
RE: Trading Draft Picks

Boyz, can you speak to the art and strategy of trading draft picks in a start up dynasty league. How do you evaluate a trade offer that consist of draft picks only? What do you do if the offer includes next year draft picks? Trade back or trade up? How do the dynamic change once you are on the clock?

No hope cats

 
Love the show as always!

I'm in a very deep dynasty league and always struggle with ranking IDPs, especially after the first few. Could you each discuss a few rookie IDPers that you felt got under-drafted in the NFL draft and maybe a couple that you felt got over-drafted? (Dynasty, not single-season)

Thanks!

Hey as always great show guys. Can you talk about TE's that could move into the top 20 if the stars align and Sigmund doesn't have to clean up his coke on the carpet again? ;)

The likes of

Rob Housler TE AZ

John Phillips TE DAL

Zach Miller TE SEA

Cleveland TE's (Who emerges)

Niles Paul TE WAS (Will WAS use many 2 TE sets)

And where in the world is Mr Chris Cooley these days

Who takes over for Tony Gonzalez TE in ATL once he slows down? (If that ever happens)

 
Hi guys!

There is a philosophy that when a QB is bad/ young/struggling that the defense will then stack the line to stop the run, potentially nullifying a good RB play. But often when I see this put forth as why a RB would be a poor play it does not really go that way at all. The same goes with a bad run game and good QB. What factors can you use to tell when a scenario like this is actually going to pan out or when the talent of the players involved makes it a "call" made out of habit and lazy analysis?

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks

 
(first off, belated congrats to cecil on his ever-burgeoning influence across the airwaves of this great country of ours.)

gentlemen,

if the steelers resign wallace and extend brown, is it your expectation that sanders would be in enough demand to sign elsewhere, and then prosper?

thanks
