JJFIVEOH Posted September 3, 2015 Report Posted September 3, 2015 That's a fair argument to make. I just wonder is it a PPR or non-PPR league? If it's PPR then you're probably going to be fine but if it's non then I would be worrying about my running backs. Sure AP may end up being the best RB in Fantasy Football. But if it's a standard league then I usually like have an RB as my flex and not only do you not have a reliable RB flex but you don't even have a reliable number 2. Gurley could be a decent RB2 but to me he's still a crap shoot. He's got great potential but is injured and may not get significant playing time until atleast Week 4 and then you have to consider even then he's stuck in the Rams offense. To me the opportunity cost of passing on another running back like Chris Ivory, Doug Martin, Stewart or Abdullah (which some or all should have still been available) is too much for me. But who knows. That's the beauty of fantasy football is you can win many different ways and there are no hard and fast rules. I was just giving you a hard time. After finishing last season 5-11 I probably don't have any credit in this league to be razing anyone else :flirt: It's a standard (non-PPR) league. Something I might change next year. I hear ya on the RB situation. Since I had the first overall pick and had to go with a QB and WR with the 20th and 21st picks, I had to wait until #40 before I could address the #2 RB situation. 17 RB's had already been taken by then. That's the problem going first (as you know) you have to take your chances with having three early picks and hope they don't get injured. Haha, you can give me a hard time, I'm still fairly new to this (probably only played in about 6-8 leagues total) so I'm always open to hearing different strategies. And you're right, all four of those RB's were still available. Quote

I like Bell a bit more, even with the two game suspension, but he was taken at 1. I thought long and hard between him and Lacy. I love Lacy and he has a higher floor but Peterson playing with a competent QB and in a Norv Turner offense just has so much potential that I feel he's the right pick. Quote

FWIW, I also took Peterson in the league where I got pick 2. He's the oldest of the high end RBs, but coming off a year of rest should help a lot. His career average numbers for fantasy are 16.7 points per game, if I'm doing the math right (+2 for PPR). Most backs only see numbers like that in their best years, not an average over 100+ games.

I know he's 30 but the guy posted over 2,000 yards a year removed from tearing his ACL a couple of years ago. If he can come back from a devastating injury that quickly and play that well, I'm not concerned about his age at this point. Plus he was out of football for mostly all of last season so I'm hoping that saved a years worth of work on his body. Quote

Derrico Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Posted September 4, 2015 Beats the crap outta your team in the Sabrespace league. No friggen kidding. I love the Sabrespace League because it's so damn competitive. I was able to get Thomas and Cobb fall to me as I think 5 QB went in the first two rounds. Plus, I find the difference between 10 and 12 team leagues make it much tougher. I normally do very well in my other league but last year (and the look of my team this year) I'm embarrassing myself in this one :doh: Damn, that's nice getting Thomas and Cobb that low. I see you stuck by your word with Ivory and Martin. I think you're pretty well set on RB's. I can't fault you for taking Brady. Ya, I flat out got lucky there. Everytime someone took a Drew Brees and Ben Roethlesburger in the early 2nd round my smile got wider. Quote

No chance, dude. I'm reclaiming my crown! I took the 2 tank seasons kinda hard, but now that the Sabres are back, Don't Toews Me Bro is back with a vengeance! Quote
WildCard Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Pretty sure I came in last last year, or close to it. I criminally underestimated goalies, and went with Gibson and Enroth all year. Won't be making the same mistake twice; it's gonna feel so good to win both leagues this year. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 I'm already running other leagues, and I'm not crazy about Yahoo's format. Quote

nobody Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 The leagues are set up as they were last year so nothing has to change if you don't want it to. You can go in and tweak any setting you like; like changing the number of roster spots or change a stat category that is used to in the weekly game. The biggest thing now is getting the people signed up to play and figuring out when to have the draft. Draft day you have to click a button to get the draft going when it is time. During the season you'll get a few emails to approve trades. The biggest thing I always dealt with during the season is keeping an eye on the teams to make sure everyone was still participating. After a few warnings I would transfer the team to a new person - usually me :( Really not that big of a deal except if you have to run 4 teams. Quote
