Breida is really not a great pass catcher. People seem to believe this because of his smaller stature.
I wouldn’t mind Abdullah. He’s like a McKinnon light. He’d be a great fit for passing down back.
Yeah, I take your point, and it's likely they will sign a guy like that. Cadet is also available. But I'd scratch Vereen off that list. He's hurt.
I was saying it at the time, too. I was ok with the McKinnon signing, but that was making the best of the situation. I didn’t see why they couldn’t retain a dude who seemed like he could handle the gig.
Sometimes you go searching for the perfect and you forget about how good what you have is. I think there's an element of that in the McKinnon signing. Hyde's not exactly the most durable fellow, either, so they may have been looking to upgrade their missed games by their feature back.I was saying it at the time, too.

You know as soon as someone prefaces a statement with "not to be a "****", they're about to be a "****"
Ohhhh man. Heh. Damn. Wasn't trying to be.You know as soon as someone prefaces a statement with "not to be a "****" they're about to be a "****"
No exception here
All I'm saying is that it was a legitimate question given the major news re: McKinnon, so with the news this fresh, the customized sheets don't mean much... so it's completely reasonable to try to get a feel for how people around here are adjusting his ADP.Ohhhh man. Heh. Damn. Wasn't trying to be.
It's actually two things:
Like, what are the positional requirements? Bench size? PPR or non-PPR? What level of PPR if so?
- frustration about my lack of knowledge about his preferences, league, etc. to even give an opinion
- that leagues are so varied that it's impossible to really come to a consensus about what round a guy should go in
And on and on. Those sheets look mighty different from league to league.
But yeah, maybe I should said, "I'm sorry. I can't help you out unless I know all these things and have mocked them out."
I hope he forgives a slight transgression.
Oh, totally. I totally agree. This is certainly the forum for it and a sheet won't be adjusted at breaking news. I was just trying, I guess, to give what I just wrote you into a condensed version and voila! -- wiseass.
Yep. That would be inevitable. There's a healthy dash of Murphy's law in that.Were I drafting today, I’d expect the following:
1. I would rank Alf somewhere around AP’s ADP. Probably a round before. 9-10
2. Someone else in one of my leagues would take Alf 2-3 rounds before that, like in the 6-7th.
Probably holds true in a lot of leagues, regardless of format.
The bolded cracked me up a bit.

Serious question:The bolded cracked me up a bit.
I'm a little different. I'm usually so amped to draft that I'm basically assaulting the podium with my pick within ten seconds of the previous pick. Unless I get sniped. Then all bets are off. .
I give lectures. There's knitting, salad-making and tossing, arts, crafts -- all that stuff.
He was drafted last night in my league in the 13th.Yeah I'm sure you can get a starting running back on a good team in the 10th
I’m debating this and right now have no idea. My first thought is 10%-20% but that seems to low for someone who could be an NFL starter.
I have a feeling most leagues will have a guy go big for Morris. Like 40-50% big. I drafted yesterday an hour before the news dropped and nabbed Breida in the 11th with the intention of making Alf my last pick (I knew I was weak at RB) and someone grabbed him in the 16th. I think that’s the only league I’m in that he was drafted.
Just put in a bid for 40% but I am extremely weak at RB and set at all other positions.
Good move. You don't want to spend over 25% for a scripted and game-dependent Shanahan RBBC That's death.
It's not fun losing my third RB in a $750 auction league that I paid $20-something for before the seasons starts, but I still have at least a third decent RB. I would get Morris up to a certain point, but I'm not sure that I want to commit all that FAAB money before week 1 on him either. Someone else will come up during the season.
That is no fun. Sorry that happened. I was steering clear of McKinnon this year -- even though I've rostered him twice for nearly full years before -- because of his ADP combined with Breida and Shanahan, but it looks like Shanny was going to use McKinnon like Freeman in ATL so I don't know what my hang-up was. It's all moot now. What a terrible break for real life and roto leagues.
Also, add in that 6 of his 9 starts went against bottom 10 teams against the run. 3 of his 9 starts went against the 31 & 32nd ranked run defenses. When you have the Dallas offensive line going against these type defenses you don't have to be much more than serviceable to look ok. The previous 2 years Morris averaged around 3.5 yards a carry and had no interest in the free agent market until a team lost 3 of their top 4 backs to injury.
I agree with you. There are several "lottery ticket" RBs this year: Ivory (if he is, indeed, #2, which I am not sure of), Conner (everyone just assumes Bell reports in next 3 days), Gallman (is Barkley truly recovered?), Ekeler (fantastic player, btw), Foreman ... whose situations would be much stronger than Morris. You may rejoice having 100% of your FAAB.
I don't really have any alternatives but Shanahan will have to find a receiving back. Some one mentioned Abdulla earlier in the thread, Charcandrick West was just cut loose. They will find someone.
I've done over 35 paid drafts now. I had McKinnon in about 5 of them. Oh well. It sucks, but I've won leagues after losing my top 7 RBs. You just have to keep plugging along and work that wire. He was only my third guy, so it's a hit to my flex and depth. It sucks for people that had him as their RB2 or even RB1. That's why you always load up on RBs.
Yep. I lost a first and second rounder one year and won a league. It was all wire.
If for some reason I get a high pick, Bell is nowhere near it for this reason.
I own Conner in every league, getting him in the last week (nothing deep Einstein here) and I am genuinely perplexed as to how I was able to do that. I'm even considering Samuels in my one really deep league, for the TE eligibility.
He can't sit the whole year otherwise they can just franchise him again next year. I believe he has to report by week 10 or something
We have, at the FFA, a sixteen-teamer and a Pittsburgh homer. Conner was spoken for in our league, and reasonably early for a sixteen-rounder. I think he went in the...eleventh(??)
Yeah, Morris only started 6 games & T Smith was out for like 4 of them, making the Dallas O-line much less effective. 3 of those games were against top-12 run D’s & 3 were against bottom-12.
