2015 FANTASY FOOTBALL THREAD
- Thread starter Tailg8er
- Start date
Mike Wallace compared him to a young Antonio Brown. That wouldn't be a bad thing for the Vikings.
Big Ben is very questionable this week and Andy Dalton is on a bye.
I'm going to wait a few more days to see how Big Ben practices, but I'm assuming I'll need to pick up a QB for this week. Ugh, I was hoping Big Ben would be back. I've gotta use one of my few remaining waiver picks.
Here's the available QB's:
Stafford vs. Min
Bortles vs. Buf
Tannehill vs. Hou
Mettenberger vs. Atl
Fitzpatrick @ NE
Bridgewater @ Det
Foles vs. Cle
Kaepernick vs. Sea
Hoyer @ Mia
Cousins vs. TB
Cassel @ NYG
Jones @ KC
I'm going to end up dropping D. Johnson. I'll likely never play him and I have C.J. Anderson, Alfred Morris, Isaiah Crowell, and James Starks as RB's on my bench, so I won't miss him.

I'm very excited about him. He's looked good all preseason and in his two games. I wouldn't be surprised if he's our #1 guy in a couple years.
I think it'll be pretty close between Stafford and Bortles. Stafford finally started to throw it deep to Megatron.
I think the Bills Defense will be tougher on the Bortles than the Vikes will be on Stafford though.
What are you guys' thoughts on trading draft picks? This is the first year it's been enabled in my league, kind of intriguing.
I'm not quite to the point of giving up on this season, but after a few major injuries & overall busts, I'm not even sure I'll make the playoffs. If someone who thinks they won't make the playoffs tries to trade away a top 10-20 player for a first or second round pick, would you veto that?
It would likely make someone the favorite to win it all this year, but hamper them quite a bit next season. I'm somewhat torn on if it should be allowed, but in the end I think I'd let it go thru.
Note: This league is for sure going to be the same 12 people next year.

My leagues been doing it for 2-3 years now. It gets pretty intense near trade deadline. Only downside is, if some of the bottom dwellers lose interest early and sell early. So this creates top heavy leagues.
We have a shorter bench, so this entices more trades and waiver wire movement. In a 12 man league, there's at least some players available each week.
I like it, makes for more of a big picture thinking, especially if you combine it with keepers. Last year, I ended up getting an extra 2nd round pick for this year out of a trade. Now if only Mike Evans would get back to his level from last year that would be great...
Haven't posted here for awhile. My team is 12-team Non PPR:
QB: C. Palmer
RB: C. Ivory
RB: M. Gordon
WR: D. Hopkins
WR: R. Cobb
WR: James Jones
TE: Z. Ertz
(I stream K and D/ST)
BN: D. Brees
BN: Michael Floyd
BN: Charcandrick West
BN: S. Diggs
BN: K. Rudolph
BN: D. Amendola
I was offered Cobb for Lacy straight up today. Thoughts on that? It would be a hit to my WRs (but Cobb isn't doing well) and apart from Ivory my RBs suck.

We've had it in my league for a few years now, and while it doesn't get used very often it does make things a bit more interesting around the trade deadline. Are you in a keeper or redraft league?
I've never seen a player for pick get vetoed. There's really nothing unfair about it. In the long run both sides are getting something of value and giving up equal value.
Is this a complete dynasty team? Like same rosters each season? This is my second year in this type of league and I love it. Also helps to have DeAndre Hopkins on your team too.
Complete redraft each year, no keepers.
It's just the same group of 12, fairly close friends. We all get together to draft offline with a big board, then get together to give out winnings at the super bowl.
Overall I like the idea, adds complexity & makes people look at the bigger picture, like you said. My league tends to be short-sighted when it comes to trades though, often ignoring things like upside, depth, & bye weeks. If a trade wasn't purely even (something like Antonio Brown for OBJ), it used to get vetoed. I have talked some sense into them, I think, just don't know how they'll react for a leader getting a stud in exchange for seemingly nothing in their eyes today.
Stefon Diggs will be a top 10 receiver next year or the years after. He's going to be really, really good.
