I'd be interested. Sent you a pm.
i would drop morris tbh. love him as a player, and he's a great handcuff, but...i have seen little to persuade me that he should be treated as anything more than a handcuff
oops, I forgot to add Thomas Rawls
this is also the first time I'm playing in this league. Its all my bosses/coworkers

Well, I got into my buddies work league, 10 man $10 buy in and these were the results...
Like my Receiving core, my QB and TE combo but RBs...ehhhh.

For a moment I thought I would be looked at as a bad guy who took advantage of someone lol. I sent the trade, and then one other guy rushed to warn him about both players injury history. Probably because like me he doesn't think the guy is aware of these things. And because of that it looks like he's going to sleep on it. I sent it hours ago and he still hasn't accepted despite being the one to make this counter offer to me.
As for my depth, I think my depth is good. Besides Charles I have Gurley, Bernard, Forsett, and Yeldon. Bernard is still integral to the Bengals offense, Forsett is currently the starter for now, and I expect Yeldon to get plenty of playing time despite the team signing Ivory. And I already feel pretty good about my WR corps, but it would be even nicer to add a stud like Beckham on top of that.
Barely did any research if any and it auto drafted Antonio Brown and AP for me for an absurd amount of money (auction) because I couldn't make it to my computer in time.
Not sure if I did well or not but it doesn't seem too terrible from my perspective compared to last year. Can I get some feedback? I got another 2 drafts on Tuesday so I'll definitely be studying as much as I can on the plane this time haha.

Anyone think AP is a better pick than Gurley now that they have a QB again?
Anyone think it would be wise to drop Theo Riddick for Frank Gore in an RB3 option? I like Riddick for my PPR league and he'd be even better as a handcuff if Ameer Abdullah suffers from injuries again this season. On the other hand, Gore did fine last season and the Colts seem to be looking on the up this year.
in a PPR, 8 is way to early for AP.
No, not close.
Absolutely....... how is Frank Gore on the waiver wire but someone like Riddick is rostered?

Is anybody here actually hurt by Forsett being let go by the Ravens. I took him in the 9th and loaded up on RB's and WR's so I think my team is fine without him. I was actually looking to drop somebody just so I could fill the DL position anyways(we play defensive players). This helped me decide between him, Funchess, and Wheaton. Although I did consider playing without a DL anyways since I didn't really want to let go of any of those guys until the news today.
I'm not sure. It's a 14 team league and for the most part the participants know their shit. I thought for sure he had been initially drafted. Thanks for the advice though.

I'm probably going to pick Gurley but I feel like I'm going to regret it.
Just finished my money league draft. 10 man, yahoo standard, 7th pick, snake draft, QB/2WR/2RB/Flex/TE/D/K

Gurley bringing us the Chip brah do it!
when is a good time to pick AP? I got him as the 10th pick, Lamar Miller as the 11th

Hmm. Should have thought of this earlier, but offering to be a last minute filler player for a fantasy draft where you need somebody to even out the teams and avoid dropping somebody.

Be brutally honest.
14 team league, .5 ppr.
Qb: Derek Carr
Rb: Zeke, Cj Anderson, d Henry, c Michael, s ware, cj spiller
Wr: A Robinson, J Maclin, D Jackson, j Gordon, d funchess
Te: d Allen, k Rudolph
Def: Vikings
K: open
I was the 11th pick. Elliot was there, so I jumped on the hype train. Guess I'm high on rookie rbs. Nabbed Henry too. Ha!
I'm likely to drop one of my Tight Ends for a kicker eventually.

I'm amazed Zeke lasted to the 11th spot. I had someone grab him #2 in the draft I did last week.

Not bad, I drafted Abdullah too but he's riding the bench until he shows me something.

No, Rodgers was. I had sixth pick in a snake and Elliot was still around for my second pick.
Yeah it's PPR, I'm excited to see how this season goes

PPR league. 6point TD passes. 12 team.
Different kind of league in that you bid for draft spots and draft from that same spot each round. Drafted 1st.
Cousins, Kirk WAS QB
Manning, Eli NYG QB
Ingram, Mark NOS RB
Johnson, Duke CLE RB
Powell, Bilal NYJ RB
Sims, Charles TBB RB
Allen, Keenan SDC WR
Brown, Antonio PIT WR
Hopkins, DeAndre HOU WR
Maclin, Jeremy KCC WR
Shepard, Sterling NYG WR (R)
Bennett, Martellus NEP TE
Gates, Antonio SDC TE
Janikowski, Sebastian OAK PK
Jets, New York NYJ Def
Second league so far. 12 team standard. Snake draft. Picked 5th.
Jameis Winston
David Johnson
Mark Ingram
Sammy Watkins
Mike Evans
Dwayne Allen
Deangelo Williams
Chris Boswell
Vikings D
Matt Stafford
Chris Johnson
Duke Johnson
Doug Baldwin
Josh Gordon
Tyler Eifert.
I think both squads are looking pretty good!

I think both squads are looking pretty good!
1st team: WR look good, RBs might be weak. not really feeling Powell or Dukie.
2nd team: good starters but I think your bench is a little weak.
Depends on who else you have. Williams is probably going to be MONEY for the first 3 weeks.

My backs are martin and stewart, so i am kind of weak there, but my wrs are stacked. Antonio brown, maclin, decker, and more.
I agree williams is gonna be money, but im thinking bradys 9 games > williams 3. Especially once Leveon is back.
I do have eli as my current qb... So im kinda conflicted. I just love having brady.

So I tried the No RB draft strategy. Feel pretty confident in my WR core but kinda meh with my team. I really hate dealing with Pats RBs but what can you do. 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex, DST, K. 6 pt passing TDs and +1 Receptions. 10 team.
QB: Palmer, Mariota
RB: L. Murray, R. Mathews, D. Murray, L. Blount, D. Williams.
WR: A. Brown, B. Marshall, M. Evans, J. Gordon, T. Lockett
TE: J. Thomas
K. Crosby
DEF: Vikings
Threw Gordon on my RES and picked up James White.

10 Team Standard Scoring; 6 Point Passing TDs:
QB: Drew Brees
RB: David Johnson
RB: Latavius Murray
WR: A.J. Green
WR: Amari Cooper
TE: Gary Barnidge
FLEX: Jeremy Maclin
D/ST: Packers (streaming)
K: Mason Crosby
BE: Melvin Gordon
BE: Tom Brady
BE: Derrick Henry
BE: Josh Gordon
BE: Jared Cook
BE: Markus Wheaton
BE: Derek Carr
So, I ended up with three QBs. Not sure why but I decided to snag Carr late.
My question to you all is if I should drop Markus Wheaton for Rishard Matthews? The draft just ended and he's still available.

Drop Carr, QBS like him have almost no trade value and when are you starting Carr over Brees/Brady?
