Really depends on how you feel about Tua. I've seen opinions all over the place on him. Also, what other vet QB's are available in the player pool where you may be able to grab one with your 3.10My current 14th man is Tua (backing up Herbert)
Carr is probably the best vet QB on the wire, but there's also Garrapolo, Winston (post-Brees-retirement?) and Bridgewater (meh city) but basically, if Carr's not there at 3.10 or 4.1 (I have those 2 picks in that range), I might just take best available rookie QB or, heck, Tua might still be sitting there at 3.10/4.1.

I am not convinced Woods should be starting for you so I wouldn't be buying him. It is a good price but that doesn't mean you have to do it. You will also probably never be able to sell him again so unless you see him as a core piece then I'm not sure what you'd be accomplishing. I like Woods but if I need RBs I am not buying old(er) WRs. It is a good price, though and one I might actually do despite what I just said *if* I had plans to move one of Shenault or Pittman for a RB. Woods may have more trade appeal packaged with one of those two or some other piece. But if you move one of them then Woods may indeed find your lineup and at that price that could be nice.Totally an Asst Coach post
I’m happy with my WRs in my FFPC league (Hill, Claypool, Shenault, Pittman, Corey Davis) and have more needs at RBm but I was just offered his Woods for my 2.10 and my 2022 3rd. Feels like a slam dunk accept for me from a value stand point and I’d imagine Woods got an upgrade with Stafford joining the Rams. Thoughts?
I think you might be right if you can pull that off. I suspect you'd have to do Pittman or Shenault but parlaying one deal like this into a second one that gets you where you need to be for a RB is a nice play. I would hope to maybe move up to like 1.05 or 1.06 and take a rookie RB over a vet, but I just tried to do that last week from 1.09 and ended up getting a much better deal for CEH instead of 1.06.I'd love to go Rb/RB/RB at 1/2/3 just to throw as many darts as possible on rookie RBs and hope 1 of them becomes an RB2, but it feels like Woods gives me even more WR-ammo to turn my 1.10 + a WR into a better vet RB2 (he says, imagining his league mates will actually want to make a trade
yeah, I don't cut a single player until 15 minutes before the FFPC deadline
It is going to be interesting to all be together on this. I am really looking forward to it and considering how open all of us are about our preferences on these boards, I have no idea what to expect or how to proceed with any kind of real strategy. I suppose it will depend on draft slot and my *own* board. I don't think I want to worry too much about other people's thoughts.
I don't think you have to come out of the draft with a backup QB. I would have no problem going into the season with only 1qb and that's typically what I do unless my QB2 is purely a breakout candidate. A guy like Carr will always be available on the wire whenever you need a fill-in.joey said:
I've been pimping this idea for a while in the trades thread before this one started so you know I'm in. Would prefer $500 but $250 works as well.I think we should start a signup list for a $77 fbg dyno lg so we can start to put our money where our mouth isI have no prob with a higher buy in if there's interest but this should be pretty easy to fill with fbg members.
Ok, $250 and I definitely want the draft to be early June soon after nfl draft and I think most if not all agree. How about we hold spots 11 and or 12 for Chad or Jordan or some other FBG staff member(s) to join should they have the cajones?
Weird that in one of my leagues I entered a division where I’m the only different team. Other 3 were all together last year.
Yeah, I've been resisting the urge. I did two startups with partners last season before the NFL draft. Both teams finished in the money in their first season, and a big part of it was hitting on rookies whose landing spots were unknown (although it helped that last year was a great class overall). It also gives you a chance to turn a quick profit if you draft someone like CEH at RB25 and then a couple months later he's being talked about as a top-10 dynasty RB before even playing his first snap. (We did not draft CEH.)
I didn't hear anyone else on this but I'd love to get a couple staff members in. We're up to 10 now so should we tag a couple?
If you join the league, you could see who the other owners are and then ask for a refund if you want to back out.
I just assumed it was like redrafts were you can exit any league you join so long as you exit before it fills. I can't confirm this but possibly someone else can?
Yeah you can just exit the league on the league home page, so long as you're not the 12th team to join.
Did we decide standard or superflex?
I did my first FFPC superflex last year, turns out I'm in the league with Barack. I played plenty of superflex before, but to me the roster constraints on FFPC AND it being Superflex is a bit unfair. There's no such thing as a stash QB, and they're already overvalued to begin with, so you're wasting spots on QB's that are half season starters and it's a waste. Working around that, especially for a rebuild can be a nightmare.
Well I assumed standard because I thought there was enough hesitation against SF but I am in for either.
Yea it *is* weird. The 3rd and 4th rounds get really juicy with top talent.
On a couple of these orphan rebuilds I am working on it is definitely a grind. But I'm making hay. Regardless of format I think there are a lot of relatively inexperienced FFPC players in some of these leagues that have never had to make these cuts yet. This is the first time for our SF startup from last year. And the SF format is new with lots of new owners. Point being the value squeeze is about to be applied pretty hard and I do think there is going to be some panicking. Especially in SF because yes it really is hard to roster *anyone* at any position within the limits. Maybe someone like Fitzpatrick is available and can fill a need at QB2 but who do you drop for a marginal advantage?
I dont know. It would be challenging just to make the team good enough to be able to sell for the full $250 next year, let alone actually win money this year or next.barackdhouse said:
I remember you mentioning this last year and I didn't pull the trigger, but I might have to check it out.
Oh I know. Gotta get a couple lucky draft picks and at least one waiver gem. To begin to have a chance. But if you bought 250 teams in the exact same scenario and ran out the scenario for each of them you would only need to cash once to make it profitable (for 2021). Not bad odds really. Trick is really whether it can be improved to a sellable squad by next year and it wouldn't need to be the full 250 either.
You have to take into account the $100 deposit. Those super cheap teams aren't quite as enticing with that added cost.
