Jeff I agree we just wanted to spice things up a bit. Basically the commissioner was getting tired of people that could be making trades to improve their teams just standing pat and doing nothing. this doesn't totally solve that but we felt it could help with it a bit. You are right about the compensation possibly being too high. The only player that I was surprised about not getting taken last year was Brandon Jacobs for the two 1sts. I figured someone in the last 4-5 slots would take him.

I hear you. Could you have three different values (costs) associated to the three players? Make player 10 worth something less. At least the poor teams could upgrade the bottom of the roster cheaply.
 
Ya Thats probably a good idea. have the top 2 scorers in the restricted category valued at the two 1sts, the bottom 3 in that category for two 2nds. Then in the unrestricted have the top 2 scorers set at two 3rds then the last 3 scorers valued at two 4ths. The owner last year that exposed Roddy White could have chosen to expose Ben Watson instead (Tes are very valuable in our league) he has been kicking himself ever since.

Thanks for your ideas.

 
Jeff we have a rule in our league that when a player retires and said player was kept for more than 2 years consecutively or finished in the top ten scoring on your team you get a supplemental pick at the end of the 1st round of the veteran draft. Here is my dillema, I have Brett Favre I was hoping he would stay retired but it looks like that will no longer be the case. Can you look over the next couple of scenarios and tell me which you would prefer. Also if you have a better option feel free to chime in. Thanks.

We keep 10 with an additional 2 on a practice squad. We only have to start 1 Rb.

Jay Cutler

Brett Favre

Ronnie Brown

Chad Ochocinco

Braylon Edwards

Donald Driver

Jason Witten

Zack Miller

Brent Celek

Tom Coughlin

Practice Squad

Matt Ryan

Rashard Mendenhall

Trade Leon Washington for picks

Or the same scenario but trading Favre for the picks and keeping Leon. Also I have the 5th overall pick in the veteran draft, don't have a 1st round rookie pick this year. I have Laurence Maroney and have no room to keep him so I will try to get whatever I can for him. Do you think I should trade him for whatever I can get or just cut him and hope he falls to the 5th pick, or would you avoid him all together?

Thanks

 
One last question. With the same team in my last post, Out of the the running backs below that I project will be available in our veteran draft which ones do you think make the most sense for my situation?

Fred Taylor, Laurence Maroney, Carnell Williams, Mewelde Moore, Ricky Williams, Ladell Betts, Sammy Morris, Kevin Faulk, Lamont Jordan, Edgerrin James, Chester Taylor, Justin Fargas, Kevin Jones, Brandon Jackson, Patrick Cobbs.

My first thoughts are to go after Chester Taylor Mewelde Moore or Kevin Faulk. I had the chance to get Ricky Williams in the veteran draft last year and even though I had Ronnie Brown coming off of injury I just wasn't thrilled with taking Ricky, so I traded down and took Leon Washington. This year I would probably prefer Cobbs to Williams. I also like the "potential" of Maroney, Brandon Jackson and Cadillac going forward.

I have 2 extra 3rds, 2 extra 5ths and extra 6th and 7th. With only potentially having Ronnie Brown as a keeper and Mendenhall on my practice squad I will probably be looking to grab a few of the above running backs

Thanks again.

I would order them like this:Chester Taylor (biggest short term upside)Mewelde Moore (played well last yr) - moved him up after seeing you had MendenhallKevin Jones (reportedly looks good so far)Ladell Betts (was top 10 when portis was hurt)Fred Taylor (short term option and is old)Laurence Maroney (longterm option)Brandon Jackson (more of short term option if grant is hurt)Sammy Morris (one of 4 RBs in NE)drop offKevin FaulkCarnell Williams -keep an eye on his recoveryRicky WilliamsLamont JordanEdgerrin JamesJustin FargasPatrick Cobbs.

I would keep Leon and try to move Favre. He prob would not start for you many weeks so keep the young RB. Also, it is not a given Favre comes back. I would sell Maroney. I doubt he has too much value until/unless he leaves NE.
 
Thanks Jeff. Since it looks like you are pulling an all nighter I had one other long post above the one you just answered, if you don't answer it by tomorrow some time I will just repost. Thanks

 
12 Team keeper league. Scoring all TD 6pts, .5/Completions, .5/reception, .05/return yards everything else is standard scoring. start 1 QB, 2 RB's, 2 WR's, 2 Flex(RB or WR), 1 TE

I am filling in for the owner of this team that with be away for awhile so have never played with these rules.

Here is my team.

QB's Eli Manning

RB's Joseph Addai, Ahmad Bradshaw, Brandon Jacobs, Peyton Hillis®

WR's Larry Fitzgerald, Santonio Holmes, Santana Moss, Terrell Owens

TE's Chris Cooley

Need 5 + 1 rookie

I know I am keeping Fitz, Jacobs & Owens so just need 2 more and if I do not keep Hillis I will get a extra pick at the end of the draft so don't know if I should keep him or not. Is Manning worth keeping with the completions points or does that just make the average QB's all the same.

So who are the other 2 players you would keep with these rules and I will have the 6th pick in each round.

I owuld keep Manning for sure, and I would draft a decent QB in the draft. The extra points for the QB could be huge each game. So, I would keep Eli, Jacobs, Fitz, Owens, and Holmes or Santana. To double-check things, I would plug the scoring into the draft dominator and see how it weights the positions. It might help you some just to get a little perspective. Good luck

I put in the scoring and starting lineup into DD and this is what I came up with I think it might surprise you.15) Fitz18) Jacobs49) Owens66) Addai73) S. Moss81) S. Holmes89) C. Cooley174) E. ManningThere are only 7 QB's in the top 50 on the OAL in the DD.So I think it might come down to Moss, Holmes or Cooley but with getting points for return yrds I would have to cut Cooley out I think.

This is interesting. I think I would go with this, unless you get wind of other teams' keepers which might change things. I do like Moss over Holmes, but I feel like I am one of very few.
 
8 player keeper league( next year we will be able to keep 10 players) Stardard scoring no PPR Starters 1QB, 2RB's, 3WR's, 1TE, 1 Flex(RB, WR, TE)

WR's R. Moss, G. Jennings, B. Marshall, M. Crabtree, Ginn Jr

TE's G. Olsen

K M. Crosby

Have just been offer Andre Johnson, S. Greene & 2010 2nd round pick for J. Stewart & R. Brown.

Please talk me out of this but I don't see anyway that I can turn it down eventhrough i would be down to starting Jackson & Addai or Greene as my RB's. But I think I could trade AJ, Moss or Jennings for a top RB.

I do not like this as much as you. In dynasty non-ppr, I think Stewart is worth about the same as AJ, maybe more. And Brown is worth more than the other half. You have three strong WRs. I would want more to give up Stewart and Brown.
 
Hey Jeff,

Need to make a move to land a WR and I'm not sure which direction I should go:

12 Team Non-PPR Dynasty: Start 1 QB, 2RB, 3WR, TE, 1 Flex RB/WR/TE, D, K

6pts rushing/rec TD. 5pts Passing TD. 5pts bonus for 25 carries, 9 receptions, 30 completion.

I'm pretty deep at RB and thin at WR. In this format I love having 4 startable RBs that I can play matchups with and be covered when injury strikes, but I think I need to deal one (Lynch) for a nice WR. The other option would be to land a #2 or 3 WR by dealing a Graham/Harrison and/or 2010 pick(s) type package.

Would you deal one of your top 15-20 Rbs for a top flight WR to compliment Jennings and take the depth hit, or go small with a lesser WR and not hurt the depth.

Thsi team won it all this past year. A lot of good teams in this league with guys I'm sure you know. I want to keep that title!!

League link if you're interested.

http://www8.myfantasyleague.com/2009/home/37171

QB: Cutler, McNabb, Edwards

RB: Lynch, Turner, K. Smith, Chris Johnson, E. Graham, Norwood,

F. Jackson, J. Harrison, G. Jackson

WR: Jennings, Burress, D. Avery, H. Ward, L. Moore, H. Douglass, J. Gage

TE: Winslow,

I think Jennings is a legit WR1 so I would not worry there. I like Avery and Ward as WR2/3 and Moore as WR4. Gage should be fine as WR5. But, I do see why you would be inclined to get a very good WR2. I think I would (if anything) move Lynch and keep FJax ONLY if I got good value for him. No need trading low if other discount Lynch because of the suspension. I would try to package Lynch and Moore for a WR like Boldin or Marshall. These two are legit WRs that are somehow discounted. If you get a cold reception on Lynch, you can wait until week four when Lynch is off of suspension and move him then. Good luck.

On the clock now.... at 1.2 I took Moreno.

It's 1.9 I'm up... I got offered Westbrook and a third (27th overall) for 1.9 and Mendenhall

(I also pick 13th overall) may get my QB there

Westbrook is getting old and not hurt.. McCoy was selected 1.3

12 TEAM PPR league deep rosters 60+ 6 per td, PPR, 1pt per 25 pass, 1 pt per 10 rush. 1 PT PER 25 KR/ 1pt per 20 PR yards (Harvin at 9?)

QBs - Rivers, Big Ben, Young, Leinart, (Not real set at QB) Sanchez and Stafford available...

RBs - D. Williams, J. Stewart, S. Jackson, Lynch, Fred Jackson, Moreno, Mendenahll, Sproles... then depth

WR's Fitzgerald, AJ, Jennings, Royal, Evans, Avery, Devin Thomas, Manningham, J. Morgan.... then junk

TE- Winslow, Davis, M lewis (weak spot)

ok so do I take that trade at 1.9 and sacrifice my young pick and get Westbrook and lose Mendenhall and 1.9 OR do I draft

Harvin, Heyward Bey, Stafford, Pettigrew, Sanchez, Nicks, Britt....

Brown and Crabtree are still on the board. I pick at 1.10 and would like to move up to 1.05 or 1.06 I am thinking that it will cost me too much to move up but what do you think would be a good starting point. I know the team at 1.05 will not trade with me if I were to try to lowball him which I do not do anyways.I was thinking of something like my 1.10, 2010 1st and Benson for 1.05.
That is a good offer. I think I might start with an offer like: 1.10, Benson, Santana for 1.05You have a good team so you will not miss Santana much.
 
Hi Jeff

I am in a 14 team league that allows 2 keepers from previous years team. Scoring is: TD=6 pts (passing/receiving/rushing), 1 pt for every 10 yards (passing, receiving, rushing). We pick 3 QB's and start 1, we pick 4 RB's and start 2, we pick 6 WR's and start 3 and we pick 2 TE's and start 1.

The players from last years team that I have that are worth possibly keeping are:

1. Romo (QB)

2. Warner (QB)

3. Lynch (RB)

4. Grant (RB)

5. Bowe (WR)

Which 2 players from the above list would you keep as your 2 keepers? This is a non PPR league however next year we are switching to PPR and possibly Flex. Would this impact your opinion on the 2 keepers to keep?

Please help me pick 2 keepers from the above list as I need to submit them August 1st.

Thanks.

I would definitely keep one QB. Romo vs Warner is interesting in that choosing Warner is choosing short term. I think I would go Warner, and try to get Leinart as QB3. In a keep two league, I would try to only look one year at a time. Of the other three players, I would take which RB you like best. I think I would go with Lynch ever so slightly .. but totally understand those that would say Grant. I say this with the roster max on RBs. Tough to use two spots on the Bills RBs. If you keep Lynch, I would look to get Fred Jackson to cover weeks 1-3. In a 14 team non-PPR, QB and RB are in short supply.

I was thinking more like Culter, Turner, & Boldin for Brady, Westy & S. Holmes.

Hi Jeff. My rookie draft is tomorrow and I need your help. I am in a 12 team dynasty league (PPR). I have the first and third picks. I have narrowed my choices for pick 1.01 down to Moreno and Wells. The guy who picks at 1.02, a friend, told me he is taking whichever of those guys that I didn't choose. Next up is pick 1.03, and I have it down to McCoy and Brown.

I do not need either of these picks to produce right away. I am definitely looking long term. Can you please give me your thoughts on each pick? Thanks.

I do not like either really. His team is in shambles with only the two QBs. I would not give Turner for the Brady deal.

I like Moreno at 1.01. At 1.03, I am starting to like McCoy more and more. It is very, very close for me. I hear McCoy could be the real deal. Also, Westbrook could always miss time ... thrusting McCoy to the forefront.
 
I was wondering. I am in a 12 man league auto-draft in about 2 weeks. Is there a way to prearange (preranking) them so the pic goes to my favor? There use to be a colum to show how to do it. Below is who we can start in our scorring system:

We start 1 qb, 2 rb, 2 wr, 1 TE, 1 wr/TE, 1 kicker, and 1 def

I have heard this : Exclude all kickers from your rankings. Yahoo makes you fill out your starting lineup first so it will draft a kicker with one of your first 9 picks

I think i will go

Fitzgerald

Moss

A Johnson or Calvin Johnson

Tom Brady or Brees

and then my top 50-60 VBD sense yahoo pick starter first i should get 1 or 2 wr and and a good qb

what you thought ?

 
I do not know on the pre-draft/auto-draft stuff. I do not have any Yahoo leagues, sorry. I like Moss tops this season. But, your rankings look right. I would also look to target older RBs like Larry Johnson, Thomas Jones, etc as cheaper options.

I was wondering. I am in a 12 man league auto-draft in about 2 weeks. Is there a way to prearange (preranking) them so the pic goes to my favor? There use to be a colum to show how to do it. Below is who we can start in our scorring system: We start 1 qb, 2 rb, 2 wr, 1 TE, 1 wr/TE, 1 kicker, and 1 def I have heard this : Exclude all kickers from your rankings. Yahoo makes you fill out your starting lineup first so it will draft a kicker with one of your first 9 picks I think i will goFitzgeraldMossA Johnson or Calvin JohnsonTom Brady or Breesand then my top 50-60 VBD sense yahoo pick starter first i should get 1 or 2 wr and and a good qb what you thought ?
 
I'm stuck on this one:

12 team dynasty league, start 1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE/1K/1DST. Standard PPR scoring.

I've been offered the following deal:

I get Matt Ryan/J. Fargas for Shonn Greene/Shaun Hill plus a small peice (probably later pick next yearor a WR)

My roster:

QB- Cassel, Hasselbeck, Hill

RB- Westbrook, T. Jones, Greene, L. White, Mendenhall, T. Choice, A. Brown

WR- Wayne, Ochocinco, Cotchery, Camarillo, Ma. Clayton, Devin Thomas, J. Nelson, M. Walker, M. Thomas, Dillard, Knox

TE- Daniels, Z. Miller (Oak), Casey

Does this seem like a fair deal? If so, is the upgrade at QB worth the loss of a young RB? I'm not totally sold on Greene, but his potential makes me balk a little.

Thanks for your help.

 
Jeff:

I really need your wisdom on this one. I have heard various arguements on both sides...very close. Yours could be the tie breaker.

dynasty. 12 team. 18 player roster. standard scoring. 1 qb 2 rb 2 wr 1 te.

MJD is my #1 rb. The remaining rb corp consists of Moreno, Mcgahee, Rice, Greene, and Washington.

I have been offered Kevin Smith and David Garrard for Greene, Washington and Stafford (P Manning is my top qb).

Would this solidify my #2 rb spot? Do I need to make this trade? Am I giving up too much?

Thanks for your help.

Ryan is worth a lot more than Greene right now. I think I would do this deal in a heartbeat. I would try hard not to give any of your WRs. Never know which will pan out. Good deal for you with Hass old and Cassel unproven.

I like Smith more than most, but you do not need to make the deal. Only do so if you are uneasy about Moreno/Rice. I think I would keep status quo on this, but I do like Smith. Garrard and Stafford are worth close to same. The issue is how much you value Leon. If you are not a Leon fan, then do this deal quickly. It is close.
 
Jeff, I am in a ppr dynasty league. My team is strong at both RB and WR. I have Maclin, and was just offered Kenny Britt and Mike Goodson for him. What do you think of that trade?

I like both WRs. Even though Goodson looks good, I would base this deal on which WR you like better. I think I would take the Britt side. He looked good the other day.

if this is redraft, I take Westbrook or Portis and make sure to handcuff. I would probably lean toward Westbrook and reach for McCoy. The Philly RB starter will be gold. There are plenty of WRs that are worthy in this type of league.
 
Jeff,

I've got the makings of what I consider to be a ridiculous fantasy team this year and am looking for your opinions. This is a non-ppr dynasty league (12 teamer), and I'm wondering if you'd make these few moves. (before you ask, it's also an auction league with a contract setup as well, but I won't get into any of that, we'll keep it as players only)

The current roster

QB: Cutler/Orton

RB: Turner/DeAngelo/Grant

WR: CalJohnson/Jennings/BMarsh/Avery/ChHenry

TE: Witten/Winslow

K: Prater

D: Pats

Rookie Taxi Squad: KMoreno,Mendenhall,James Davis

Basically I'm looking to shore up a little depth this year.

Is Chaz Shilens a worthwhile prospect to go after? (moreso than Chris Henry that is...looking for production in years 2-3 out of him.)

I'm looking to stash a TE for next year, is Jermichael Finley an ideal target for that? (I'd have to drop James Davis for him)

I'm also looking to add Favre to the mix as my backup.

;) Like the team?

:popcorn:

 
You have a great team. I think you are solid most every position. The only spot I would think about depth is QB. On your moves, I would not worry about Finley. I like him a lot, but will he help you much with Witten and Winslow? I do think he is a better prospect (in general) than Davis, but you are stacked at TE. Make the move if you feel you are solid at RB. I like Schilens over Henry. I am in the minority I think on that. Can you dump Davis for Schilens since Schilens saw little action as a rookie last yr? Can he go on taxi? I do like adding Favre, depend on the drop. With the way Orton and Cutler played in week one of preseason, might get unnerving. I have those two as QB1/2 on a team of mine that I have high expectations. I do like Cutler long-term. But, it may take a little while to work out the kinks.

Thanks for the (fast) reply Jeff.Looking at it even further than we already are, here's the real dilemna:

I lose both Witten and Winslow after this year and have 0 TEs, this would be my only chance to stash a future prospect out and run with him for the next little bit and I *think* Finley can be a sneaky top 10 play in 2-3 years from right now with Driver leaving and Rodgers getting more comfortable in that O. (very hard to say right now though, since I haven't really seen him in action and am going straight off of "camp buzz" from other FBGs)

I can stash both Schilens and Finley, but only one can go on the taxi squad while the other will have to be bought for some sort of price and contracted (aka more expensive the next season) but I can live with that if he's a solid buy that I get good value out of. I don't mind the injury as I think I've got more than enough front line talent to keep Schilens as a (very good) WR5.

Which one we you more confident in?

WRs: I don't lose Calvin Johnson for 6 more years, Jennings for another 1, BMarsh for another 2, and Avery for 4

TEs: Witten and Winslow are gone after this year

Both Schilens and Finley can be taxied (we get a 2 year window on new players)

I lean to taxi Finley (TE not needed) and put Shilens in on my active roster, but look to see what you think. (and adding Favre is something we both agree on)

This may be the best team I've ever seen in our league, btw...(and that's saying something since this league's been around for about 6 years now)

Gotcha on the contracts. I would definitely stash Finley. He could easily be a Top 8 in a yr or two. Of the two players, I would taxi Finley and roster Schilens. He will be Oakland's primary receiver. On the tight ends, can you move Winslow for a younger TE (like Keller, Olsen, ZMiller, etc) that has a better contract?

If it is a no TE league, definitely take the chance on Schilens over Finley.

 
Curious opportunity just came up in my 10 team, 25 roster dynasty league, start qb/rb/rb/wr/wr/te/flex/flex (standard scoring, no ppr).

He gives Larry Fitzgerald

I give Frank Gore, Pierre Thomas, and Braylon Edwards

my current team:

QB: Brees, Ryan, Sanchez

RB: MJD, SJax, Gore, Portis, R. Bush, Thomas, Rice

WR: A. Johnson, Ca. Johnson, Ochocinco, Edwards

TE: Gates

My thoughts are as follows:

- i'm the dominant team in the league now and am fully in win-now mode, but have enough depth to make longer term decisions if slight downgrade to current performance

- portis is the one player that i view as needing replacing by end of 2010 and Bush/Thomas and Rice are waiting in the wings

- edwards is a bench player on my roster, but thomas gore and edwards would start for other team, improving his ability to compete this year

- i am somewhat concerned about LFitz's QB situation post-warner, but his floor is very high

I'm leaning towards doing the trade as having the 3 best dynasty WRs for the next 6+ years is compelling and i still have a very strong RB core with MJD, SJax, Bush, and Rice for the future. My only concern is about winning now since I lose Gore (who i would expect to score more points that Fitz this year, but close) and the ability to have NO backfield locked up.

thoughts?

I would counter giving Portis instead of Thomas. I probably would not do the deal as is. You might need the depth with SJax's injury history. Also, the future will take care of itself as long as you are winning. You do not have an old team. I would not sweat getting younger, for getting younger's sake. Too much can happen. I think you can acquire Boldin or Wayne cheaper ... plus Chad looks good this yr as a WR3/4.
 
So glad to see that you are here to offer your wisdom for another crazy fantasy season!



Here are my draft results

PPR LEAGUE

QB

Peyton Manning

Matt Ryan

RB

Adrian Peterson

Chris Johnson

Reggie Bush

WR

Roddy White

Calvin Johnson

Jerricho Cothcery

Domenik Hixon

TE

Owen Daniels

Brent Celek

K

Longwell --- He was my first choice but Prater is available would you dump Longwell for Prater? I know a crazy Kicker ???? already!

Hartley

DEF

Vikings

Colts

Overall, I feel ok but I have a couple of concerns.

I can drop 1 TE, 1 K or 1 DEF to pick up 2 other positions. I am leaning towards dropping Hartley and the Colts to wait and see how Celek does with McNabb.



Here are my RB options: I want to add 1 after I drop the Colts

K Moreno

Donald Brown

Shonn Greene

Peyton Hiliis

Mike Brown (little worried about Reggie but got him in the 10th round)



Here are my WR options I want to add 1 after I drop my second kicker Hartley

Donnie Avery

Derrick Mason

Nate Burleson

Deon Butler

Limas Sweed

Troy Williamson

Laurent Robinson

Josn Morgan

Michael Crabtree (will he sign & will he be worth a spot?)

THANKS for the advice and GOOD LUCK to you this year as well!

Thank you for the kind words. You have a good squad. Hartley is an easy drop for me because of his suspension. Keep Longwell over Prater for now with the craziness in Denver. I would also drop Indy def as you suggest. For the adds, three players stand out. Moreno at RB & Avery/Mason at WR. I like these three best, but keep an eye on Brown and Morgan. Both could be decent as the season progresses.

I would pick up Moreno and a WR. I think I would get Mason just because he is old reliable. I like Avery, too, but I think Mason is a Top 20 WR again this year. You might be starting him over Cotch and Hixon some this year. Mason (for an older wr) looked awesome, imo, last night.

Good luck.
