The Fantasy Football Thread

[CanDB]

We are very lucky that Free Agency and The Draft are going to go as scheduled. That means we can at least practice Fantasy, shortly. I forget the dates, but I know I had a whirl at it early last summer....maybe even spring.

Hey, the NFL fantasy teams can move ahead as if there will be football. So....good news....something else to do while honouring the rules/recommended (even suggested) behaviour of society during these times.

I knew AJ Green would have a big year this year.

Deshaun Watson was disappointing for me in week 1, despite winning my matchup. I need more in week 2. Should I stick with Watson or use Tyrod Taylor or Case Keenum (who i just picked up)?

Without delving in too deep, check out who those teams play. In our case, I love the matchup against The Raiders! Not saying Keenum's the man to play, but minus Mack, they are minus much in the way of smack! But Watson should be a top tier QB this year. And Taylor has a suspect Saints' D to play. Hmmm....this is interesting. (Sorry....not sure myself, though Watson should be breaking out soon.)

They are saying Royce is a good start this week....

Thanks Eddie Mac
I’m keep second guessing myself.
The Seahawks were not a good run d last year and Cleveland was but never seen Royce.

Another guy I think will be fun to watch next year is Dalvin Cook.

As I mentioned earlier, there may not be a bad first round pick next year......Gurley, Bell, Zeke, Brown, D Johnson, Hopkins, Kamara, Hunt, Gordon, Fournette, Howard and Cook would be a decent first round in a 12 man league. And that does not include any potential rookie standouts, and several other quality players.

Hopefully he bounces back, he looked dang good before he went down

So you're just going to ignore me, huh?

I agree with your list. I rode Gurley to two 'ships this year, if I get the #1 pick next year I will definitely grab him again. He was slow to start but Finishing is all that matters in FF.

I'm gunna take a stab in the dark, and guess that the consensus top 5 will look something like Gurley, Bell, Zeke, Brown, and Hopkins or Kamara. Quarterback is going to be wild next year.

So gang, if you pick 1st next year, who do you select? I would consider David Johnson, Bell, Zeke, AB, Gurley, Hunt and Kamara. DJ might scare away a few folks, but the guy should rebound without much concern. Could use a QB. Bell and AB will keep The Steelers legit, and Zeke will be looking for revenge. And Gurley proved why he was so highly touted as a rookie the previous year. But Hunt was crazy good as a rookie, and Kamara looks like the real deal....week after week he was productive, once their 3 man backfield disintegrated.

This preseason I was hoping to finish nearer the back end, to secure 2 players in a few picks, but I believe '18 is a can't miss for picking top 5 or even a bit later, given the talented front end. If you throw in Melvin Gordon and a few others, there may not be a bad pick in the first round.

As for QBs, Wentz might be the pick, with Goff worthy of some attention. Will Brady and ARod be as notable? I'm pretty sure at least one of them will.....but one never knows when time catches up.

Decker against the Brown or Thielen against the Ravens?
