Cristobal Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 It's kind of nice this year to only have to worry about one league. I was in two regular leagues before and would usually join a third for S&G, but this year wife of the guy who ran the second is due in a month and the one-off league didn't happen, so I can check one set of scores and I'm done. So far, so good. Other guy has 11 points and Julio while I've got Ryan, Coleman, and Hyde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 True Rippa hopefully AP will pull a Brady like performance on MNF like the 1st year of the DVDVR money league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Going into today's games I was down 132.54 to 95.72. He had Agholor and Bowman left, and I had Carlos Hyde and Matt Bryant. You can probably guess how that ended since I am posting about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Last year, I drafted Carlos Hyde in a keeper league. I kept him on my roster all last year. This year, I kept Hyde over Gore and Russell Wilson. Today, I reap my reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincey Greene Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 My strategy of ignoring RB and QB for the first few rounds and focusing on bargains - Abdullah, Hyde, Brady, Bradford - was a risk but I think it's gonna work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Goddamn Carlos Hyde cost me two games this week. I hope he is this year's Jared Cook-- puts up monster points Week 1 and then proceeds to disappoint all season. I'm not wishing injury on Mr. Hyde, but rather he plays each week with a stat line that goes something like 15 carries for 40 yards. Just enough that you might play him, but always regret it. Kevin, I hope my tears are salty enough for you. Good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I sorry. The funny part about our game is Bowman got you ahead again on the Vikings' last drive, it took Hyde getting garbage yards when they ran out the clock for me to sneak back in front. I prefer games not be that close but usually I am on the wrong end of it when they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 No shit. How is Brady is a bargain? If it wasn't a keeper league, then Brady should have been gone in the first round, even if it was an 8 man league. Brady, Jones, Bell, and Gronk are all guys that would be true first rounders. By that list, it makes it look like you took Brady in the third round. How the hell does that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincey Greene Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 All my drafts were before the suspension was lifted. I took him in something like the eighth or tenth. And to be clear, I only got him in one of four. But I'm still really happy about it because it's a money league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert C Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I got Brady with the last pick in the 7th round in one league, the day after the suspension was lifted. Rather happy with that one so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipGofern Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Yep, Brady went in the 10th round in my ten team league - primarily because our Goodell-esque commissioner decreed the draft would be the Monday night after the third preseason game (yes, we're also a bunch of wrestling fans). Him going super late isn't really that illogical if you assumed the suspension was going to be upheld - four games + a bye week pretty much means you dont have him for almost half your fantasy season. Unless you're in a league where everybody makes the playoffs (or super cocky you'll get in) it wouldn't pay to take him early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Yeah the earliest I like drafting is around the last preseason game because otherwise you are just gambling with popular DVDVR sponsorship program, Torn ACL of the Day © Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 We always draft the Saturday, Sunday or Monday before the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Even with a full season of availability, Brady is not a first rounder in any reasonable league. He shouldn't even be the first QB off the board. I'm sure in basically every non keeper league, even ones that drafted after the suspension was lifted, he went behind Rodgers and Luck. Also, I blame Craig for reverse jinxing Julio Jones and costing me a week one victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 No one is saying he should be a first rounder But him going in anything past say the 6th round says you either did the draft before the last preseason game or have 6 teams in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristobal Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Some people overvalue the shit out of QBs. In a keeper league with a max of 4 keepers, people were telling me I should have kept Russel Wilson, despite the fact that my team last year had Cobb, Megatron, Mike Evans, Hyde, and Gore. Why the hell would I keep Wilson over any of them? I picked up Matt Ryan in the third round of the draft, (7th if you count keepers,) and I'm perfectly fine at QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 There are so many QBs out there that may not win alot of games but get alot of fantasy points ( mostly in garbage time) that not getting a QB til the middle rounds isn't that big a deal.

Cristobal Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 The difference is that most leagues only play 1 QB, so finding a decent QB is easy. Finding decent RBs when most leagues require you to play 2 or 3 is much harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
