a thread to discuss fantasy football in general, whether or not you're in the bl s&g league.

we drafted last night. our league starts: QB, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, WR/RB/TE, K, D

my line-up:
drew brees
larry fitzgerald
danny amendola
reggie wayne
trent richardson
eddie lacey
jordan cameron
daryl richardson
matt prater
seattle defense

bench:
chris givens
brian hartline
denarius moore
shane vereen
chris ivory
josh freeman

feel ok about it. can't wait for the season to start.

^ good RBs, Richardson is poised to break out this year and Lacy should have a good rookie season.

Fitz and Wayne should have very good seasons again.
 
nice team Alasdair

I have a feeling amendola is going to have a huge year, specially if it's a PPR
I really never liked him, but there's no doubt in my mind belechick will turn him into a star
and if he gets injured(they say he can't stay healthy but his two major injuries were freak accidents that happened while trying make a sick catch), you'll have a nice replacement in givens, it's starting to look like givens will be ram's #1, 70 rec 1100 yards and 7 TDs isn't that far of a stretch

Richardson COULD be a nice pick, he's a burner, last year his acceleration between the tackles was exceptional, made steven Jackson look like natrone means, i'm just worried if he can stay healthy and have at least 10 rushes every day

and it's looking like they're going to be using RB by committee, with Richardson/pead getting most of the carries and either rookie out of vandy zac stacy or 2nd year back Terrance gannoway as their GL backs

i'm hosting our league's draft on sunday, it's been years since I've hosted anything, it's going to be one damn fine banquet
 
thanks.

i think trent richardson should have a big year. he's going to get a lot of work this year.

we are ppr so amendola should be great. that was a bit of a heart over head pick, i went with old-schoolers for my other two regular wrs.

i think daryl richardson is a talented rb but i do fear that he'll lose some workload in that environment. happy to have him as my #3.

finally, i'm hoping chris givens will shine - i picked him up in round 9. pretty happy with that.

can't wait to see your line-ups.

my team is going to suck

I decided to keep eric decker and Darren McFadden

the other options were andre Johnson(had him since we started the league 5 years ago) and matt Stafford....maybe Antonio brown

but i'm sick of Johnson getting hurt every year at the worst times, and he might finally come back to being human and for QB I think i'm going to hold off and draft a solid #1, there are more than 12 in the league and i'm going to draft Bradford as my #2 and hope he busts out, Stafford is risky because we get penilzed pretty harshly for INTs and I can see him having a 3:1 TD/INT ratio, where Bradford may not rack up a ton of TDs, but should keep INTs to minimum

even with the addition of welker, I still think decker will be good for 1100 yards and 10tds, he still hasn't gotten a big pay check and I think he's in a contract year, he's going to try fucking hard and manning has a good relationship with him

I plan on drafting givens, but wont be upset if someone steals him, cause it's very possible he has a ho-hum 750 yd 4 td type season, but there is potential for greatness.....my biggest risk is going to taking jared cook a good 3 rounds earlier than expected, I really think he has keeper potential and can be the next jimmy graham

we use 3 individual defensive players, which I thought was lame but have grown used to it...don't know how I feel about not having von miller for the 3rd year in a row, but if he's available in the final round i'm still going to take him

who are some LB'ers that may be under the radar that I can consider drafting, i'm just looking for guys who can get a consistent 8 tackles per game(1 pt per tackle)
 
Here is my team, freshly drafted

Brees
Richardson
Bradshaw
Johnson
Boldin
Graham
Austin
Seahawks
Prater

Bench:
Romo, Steelers, Givens, Rodgers, Pettigrew, Janikowski, Collie, Rivers

I'm concerned with Bradshaw's durability and the ability of Kap getting the ball enough to Boldin. And, of course, like CR said....Johnson's health is always a problem it seems.

if Reggie Bush plays well I think my team will be pretty awesome.
 
Wylde lemme trade something for rivers..
I'm on a phone right now, but I got dalton as my only qb, me being a SD fan, well you know.. Take a look at my team.. Lemme know
 
^ lol poor phillip rivers, he used to be top 5ish, he went undrafted at our draft today, and most of our league is made up of lifetime NFL addicts

^ mikeyo-yo-o, loving the team, specially if it's a 12 team league
you're smart for taking harvin and Blackmon, sure they'll miss time, sitting on your bench instead of some scubs that won't ever have any value
thanks for taking cook and ram's defense, i'm glad we can root for cook together and I feel like it's a homage to yer boy CR
i'm happy you got your boy rowdy white
bengals and rams are sack factories
-------------------------------
okay I think if you're going to read through all of this, which I expect a few will
you should def listen to this NFL films song while doing so, one of my all time favorite songs and was enough of an excuse to tune into sunday night prime time
nobody circles the wagons like the buffalo bills
NSFW:



just got done with our 12 team 20 round draft, I was host and the food was fucking amazing
I hate that our league is a 2 keepers league, despite me benefitting from mike turner and andre Johnson for 4 -5years
but sick of the fags who have stud QBs

QBS:
my first pick, ~3rd round~, 10th pick'
QB buckwheat redskin 3 knee : it's was a 'best case scenario' thing; either he gets injured and redskins suck and rams get their hopefully top 5 1st round pick in '14 or cream of wheat unleashes hell and carries me to the promised land, something good will become of it and he is easy to root for and has keeper potential for up to 8 years

Andy Dalton: he is what he is, should be pretty solid heading into his 4th? year, is on a good team and has good chemistry with AJ green wanted Bradford but someone took him 4 picks before me, which is the exact amount of picks Bradford will throw this year ;) (they're -4 points)

RBs: luckily I only have to start one and RBs are not nearly as valuable as they were 5 years ago

McFadden: was a keeper, bleh, although I've been hearing good things, too bad he's on worst team in football and it's pretty damn hard to effectively rush when you're constantly playing with a significant score deficit

Giovanni Bernard: think he's going to be the best rookie RB, don't think the law firm and coach lewis get along very well

Le'veon Bell: he'll miss some games, but considering the steeler's/Nat'l medial speak highly of him, there's hope he has a doug martin type rookie year, and fwiw I think doug martin is peyton hills 2.0

isiah pead: Richardson is prob the #1, pead is suspended for week one, the kid has showed signs of lacking discipline to every be a feature back, but he has potential, he was a 3rd round pick last year and really fly, hopefully I won't ever have to play him unless he forces me to or all my other RBs fail miserably and get stuck with him

WRs:

Decker(keeper) contract year, expect 1200 yards 10 tds, butt hole cousins with manning, plus gopher pride

Amendola: not cause I like him, I just think the skies the limit in that offense, he's bigger and faster than welker

Vincent Brown: last years version of Malcolm Floyd

chris givens: just cause I got him later than projected by everyone in the league, and i'd hate to see him have a huge year and have some other asshole be rewarded

Robert Woods: not expecting much, probably won't crack the line up more than twice, and maybe he'll turn out AJ green good

TEs:

Jared Cook: people laughed at how early I took him, but if been praising this dude too much not to have him, i'm going to laugh when he catches 10 TDs and 1000 yards, ram's finally have a GL threat, he's a TE that struggled with non pass catching skills, now he's basically going to be playing slot WR, Bradford's new security blanket

Fred Davis: maybe bob griffen's best option?

Benjamin Watson: so he's the 2nd TE on his new team in NOLA, a team with a pass attack that makes the greatest show on turf look like a county fair

K: garrett Hartley: always go for indoor kickers and 11 other kickers were already taken and saints are a great offensive team

IND Def: (3 start):
I thought it was dumb to play this way for the first 2 years, now I like it, mostly because I've had game changing success with the guys I've played throughout the years
I generally go for LBs that will consistently get 8 tackles a game, 1 pt per

Wesley Woodyard: should lead Denver in tackles and is somewhat of a play maker(INTS, sacks, fumbles)

Chad Greenway: is a tackling machine

Alec Ogletree: just like his tshirt read during the photo shoot of ram's rookies at a cardinals game; rookie of the year, guy is a freak, not sure he'll get ton of tackles with laurenitis snagging most of them, but he's going to be a play maker, my prediction: 75 tackles, 7 sacks, 3 INTs, 5+ fum forced/recovered, 2 TDs and can see him racking up a lot of pass deflections(1point)

Arthur Brown: OLB rookie for Baltimore, 2nd rounder, when has ozzie newsome ever failed at drafting franchiset LBs?

Von Miller: he's going to miss 6 games, but he;s going to play in 10, he'll be there if I make playoffs, I got him in round 17/20, consider it a steal,

projected starting line up for week 1
qb: bob griffen, maybe
rb: McFadden
te: cook
Wr/Rb/Te: TBD
Wr/Rb: amendola
wr/rb: decker

def:
woodyard, ogletree, greenway, Arthur brown for first 6 weeks, not quite sure who the odd man out is, hopefully one of them tears a bicep in week 1, so I have someone to drop when I pick up an unknown rising star difference maker off of waivers

projected record: 7-9

not overly optimistic with this team, considering 3 people quit the league that consistently sucked over the past 5 years, one replacement is NFL smart, one is nfl smart but really fucked up with taking his defensive players(doesn't quite understand the concept, it takes a year, I.e he took revis early, revis is an awful fantasy player, he's great but shouldn't ever get more than 4 tackles a game and probably won't get more than 3 INTs), and the other replacement is probably not much better than the 3 fantasy dumbasses that quit

enjoy the season, BL NFL nut jobs :)

I would ditch isiah pead or 'never gonna get it' Jonathon stuwart

and pick up a QB, if you're looking for advice, post 4 or so free agents that might be able to raise a few brows
 
Im not sure who i should start between mike vick and russel wilson. I think wilson is the more cinsistant player but vick has huge upside.
 
Matt Ryan
Ray Rice
Steven Jackson
Randall Cobb
Mike Wallace
Jermichael Finley
DeMarco Murray
49s Def
Stephen Gostkowski

Bench: Tavon Austin, Ryan Broyles, Golden Tate, Isaac Redman, Mikel Leshoure, Bilal Powell, Carson Palmer, Christine Michael
 
Wylde lemme trade something for rivers..
I'm on a phone right now, but I got dalton as my only qb, me being a SD fan, well you know.. Take a look at my team.. Lemme know

Wow, this explains why someone traded Forte for Rivers.

Horrible trade DWE, you got swindled.
 
the golden rule of fantasy football is similar to the golden rule in gambling


never bet on your own team

not that i'm disciplined enough to follow it

fantasy football is getting outrageous with woman and clueless NFL fans addicted to it,, I feel hipster
been playin' since '99, my first pick was pooh bear Williams(3rd round got their late, dude never even made the team he was on, I knew nothing about football or anything fantasy), ended up winning the league by picking up stud WRs germaine crowell and marcus robinson, amongst others that ICR
