Johnnydollaz18 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Got my 2 drafts back to back days, Saturday and Sunday night, I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 What is everyone's thoughts on Jeremy Hill? Conventional wisdom says he should be very good, but I'm not sold. I still think Gio has a place in that offense and AJ Green will be back and healthy, so the Bengals will go to the air more. Still, he's super talented and is making me doubt my WR-WR strategy.

rvbcaboose Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Not 100% sold either. I think hes a low end RB1/High end RB2. His biggest issue is his handcuff (Gio) and the direction of the offense. If hes splitting carries with Gio, his numbers will probably drop. As it is now, his ADP is probably too high for his projected stats. If you really want a RB to look at, i would suggest Forsett. C.J. Anderson is a risk, but he might be worth it as well. You should consider picking up Ameer Abdullah though, a lot of people think he will be this years stand out rookie.

With Trestman there, he could be what Forte was for the bears last year. Probably not as high of a volume though. My concern with him is he is older and he has only really shown one productive season so who knows if that will carry over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Washington's O-Line looked atrocious with RGIII in. But I'm still high on Alfred Morris as a strong RB2. That line sudden did a much better job when Colt McCoy comes in. Back up RB's put up almost 100 yards rushing in about as many carries as Morris would probably get as well.

NYguitarguy Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 What is everyone's thoughts on Jeremy Hill? Conventional wisdom says he should be very good, but I'm not sold. I still think Gio has a place in that offense and AJ Green will be back and healthy, so the Bengals will go to the air more. Still, he's super talented and is making me doubt my WR-WR strategy. Hey bro, depending on where you pick in the draft obviously, there are a few other options where the back doesn't split as much time as Hill and Gio do. Marshawn Lynch is still the primary back in a run heavy offense and seems to be slipping on draft boards for some reason. If he's available, he's a great pick. Bell may slip because of his 2 game suspension, but IMO is still a top 5 back. Just be sure to grab DeAngelo Williams as a handcuff if you go that route. I think Frank Gore is gonna shine in Indy too. He hasn't benefited from an elite QB/WR combo like Luck and Hilton to free up the box in years. I like him a lot this year too. I think DeMarco Murray slides because of Ryan Matthews and Chip Kelly can choose to air it out for 9 consecutive plays. Very unpredictable offensive game plan and protection schemes (just ask LeSean McCoy). Speaking of McCoy, just a heads up, he may not be ready for week 1 in Buffalo. Update that If you plan on selecting him. Teams who are risky: Dallas: Excellent O-line, but a complete crapshoot who gets the touches. McFadden is worth a get in the 5th round if he's there NY Giants:m: The addition of Vereen complicates and already complicated fantasy backfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Found out I'm drafting 8th in one of my leagues. I think this is the year to go WR-WR and find RB Value I want a Dez-Julio Jones WR combo. It'd be tough to know if Jones would fall to my 2nd round pick though. I think he (and Matt Ryan) are primed for a big year together. You can possibly get Lamar Miller in the third, especially if everyone else has taken RB's early. Alfred Morris is a consistent RB2 and even Chris Ivory as an RB3 in the 6th-7th might be worth it on volume alone Dallas' O line is the reason I'd take Romo.

BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Still, Hill is intriguing me. I keep going back and forth on him. The only players to have his YPC as rookies were AP and Clinton Portis. I think there's a ton of upside. IDK I'm in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnydollaz18 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Had my 2 drafts this weekend. Will post my lineups when I get back from lunch. I like my teams, but man, drafting 23 rounds that include defensive players was a drag. Draft took 4 hours to complete. -_______- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnydollaz18 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Okay, 2 teams, here we go. Let me know what you guys think. First draft- 23 rounds, includes DL, DB, LB positions. In order. Dez Bryant Andrew Luck Mike Evans Frank Gore Andre Johnson Ameer Abdullah Todd Gurley LaVonte David Devin Funchess Doug Martin Chandler Jones Texans Defense Antonio Gates Stephen Gostkowski Jamies Winston Richard Rodgers Jonathan Cyprien Jets Defense Richard Sherman Gerald McCoy D'Qwell Jackson Chandler Catanzaro Kenny Britt. I know, we're banking heavily on the Colts, but with a 12-team league, players go fast. I'm fairly confident in the Colts this season and think they will end up again in the AFC Championship game, maybe even the Superbowl. Luck is the 2nd best QB behind Rodgers and was the 3rd-highest scorer in this league last season behind Bell and Antonio Brown. 2nd draft, only 17 rounds, normal league, no defensive players. Had 5th overall pick, 2nd round pick is Rodgers as a keeper and 4th round is Bell as well. In order. Demaryuius Thomas Aaron Rodgers Lamar Miller LeVeon Bell Carlos Hyde Steve Smith Sr Chris Ivory Davante Adams Larry Fitzgerald Devonta Freeman Kyle Rudolph Jets Defense Adam Vinateri Joe Flacco Ray Rice-(have a source(my best friend) who is good friends with his catcher from his college baseball team who grew up with Rice and has said he already turned down the Bills' offer to join their team and is expected to be on a roster soon, possibly the Browns who are very interested) Josh Hill Chiefs Defense What you guys think?

Johnnydollaz18 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 He didn't.. He was my keeper from last year. Last year I drafted him in round 4, so for this year and next, I get to keep him in the 4th round of each draft. I mentioned that above, and multiple times in this thread.

Blue Heaven Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 why have a draft with more than 2 weeks left in training camp? top players will still probably get hurt (ie. Jordy Nelson) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnydollaz18 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 We usually do it a few days before the season starts. But with the popular demand(8/10 votes) wanting it to be live this season rather than online, all the dates we came up with, last night worked for those 8 teams while 2 others drafted online. I don't like it, but I wanted the live draft rather than online. I hate online drafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I definitely think it's best to wait after the third preseason game but to each their own. There are people who drafted as camps were opening up. Just asking for trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash or Czech Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Assuming Bell fell to 10th overall? That's a steal, even with 2 games suspended. Yeah I took Bell and Gronk at 10 and 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Did my first of two drafts last night 10 team standard QB- Tony Romo RB-Lamar Miller RB-Carlos Hyde WR-Antonio Brown WR-Julio Jones TE- Jordan Cameron Flex-T.Y. Hilton K- Matt Bryant D/ST- Miami Bench: Eli Manning, Rashad Jennings, Todd Gurley, Danny Woodhead, Davante Adams, Michael Crabtree I was hoping to have better RB's but I missed out on guys like Gore and Latavius Murray in the 4th, and missed out on Ivory in the 6th and Doug Martin got picked right before me. I'm kinda not happy with my RB's. I took a shot getting the best WR's possible and hoped the RB's would fall to me. Very happy Lamar Miller did, but was hoping the others would. Still, think I'm ok at RB and my WR's will make up for it. I wanted an RB but saw T.Y. sitting there in the 4th and couldn't pass that up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 feel like you are kinda weak at WR to be honest Maclin will be the only one targeted consistently in KC, and Reid is designing plays specifically for him. I think he has just as good a year as last year, honestly. And Robinson is going to be a stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
