Members jhamnett Posted August 31, 2012 Members Share Posted August 31, 2012 For fantasy reasons, think Cam will be just fine (hope so, top QB in an auction for a 3 year keeper period), but I agree about the Panthers. I see the Falcons and Saints coming down a bit this year. Falcons because they overachieved a bit last year, Saints because of the bounty mess and subsequent shakeup.

Saints maybe, but Falcons I think will be as good or better with that crazy passing attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members macadood Posted August 31, 2012 Members Share Posted August 31, 2012 i sure hope rivers does well so that meachem is his #1 target and they connect on dozens of touchdowns i think newton will slump this season, but i guess his rushing td's make up for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members captions87 Posted August 31, 2012 Members Share Posted August 31, 2012 I'm in two leagues this year, one Yahoo, and one ESPN. The Yahoo one I co-started with my guitarist, 10 man(9 guys, 1 girl) PPR, and I had the 3rd pick. I gots:QB - BreesRB - Michael Turner, Pierre Thomas (currently negotiating a trade to get Reggie Bush for Turner)WR - Victor Cruz, Wes WelkerFlex - Torrey SmithTE - GronkowskiD/ST - SeattleK - Jason HansonBench: Russell Wilson, Robert Turbin, Kendall Wright, Heyward-Bey, Justin Blackmon, Jared CookThe ESPN is 10 team standard scoring, 5th overall pick, I got:QB - StaffordRBs - McCoy, Peyton HillisWRs - Victor Cruz, Brandon MarshallFlex - Antonio BrownTE - Aaron HernandezD/ST - TexansK - CrosbyBench: Torrey Smith, Cutler, Donald Brown, Greg Olsen, Cedric Benson, Mike Tolbert, Giants DefenseI just want week 1 to be here ALREADY.

Members captions87 Posted August 31, 2012 Members Share Posted August 31, 2012 And my prediction: Panthers will challenge for, if not win, the NFC South. The Saints D has never been stellar, and the sanctions hurt that part of their team the most, so they're taking a step back. Offensively, ATL, CAR, and NO are all stacked, with the Panthers being the most underrated. Greg Olsen is a stud TE, Steve Smith will have another great year, and we all know what Cam is capable of. Add Mike Tolbert, who, when healthy, could help take some of those sketchy goal line dives to protect Cam a little more, who I think will throw more and run less than he did last year. I think this and the NFC East will be the most interesting divisions to follow this season, and this is coming from a Jets fan.....yes, I know.....

Whereas in Miami, Reggie Bush is pretty much all they got right now, talentwise (aside from Tannehill). So I would expect him to see the ball a lot, either through the ground or air.

Members homestar_kevin Posted August 31, 2012 Members Share Posted August 31, 2012 I would keep Turner as well.I like Reggie Bush for some reason, and was glad he did alright last year, but he's not going to last the season.I give him 9 games max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bluto Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 Just finished drafting in a 10 team league. I drafted #1. Aaron Rodgers. What is with the strategy of drafting a RB first? The top-3 QB's score damn near 100 more points per season on average. Did I do it wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is with the strategy of drafting a RB first? The top-3 QB's score damn near 100 more points per season on average. Did I do it wrong? Drafting RB first makes sense because there are much less good RBs and you need more of them. Sure the top three QBs score highest, but the next 10 QBs don't score much lower. On the other hand, after the top RBs the dropoff is much worse. So you'll get your points from Rogers but you'll make much less points with subpar and crappy RBs, thus someone with Rivers and a great RB and another good/ok RB will actually get more points because Rogers to Rivers is not as bad as Rice to Hightower for example.

Members redprince Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 Team A: Vincent JacksonTeam B: Peyton Hillis & Justin BlackmonWho wins this trade? PPR league. I'm not high on Freeman and TB like some guys here, but I still say Jackson...because Blackmon is too much of an unknown, though Hillis will probably get solid reps. But it's a PPR league too, so Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members redprince Posted September 2, 2012 Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 This man knows his Fantasy Football. Thank you, but oddly enough this strategy actually hurt me. I completely forgot that we cut down the amount of running backs, and since we are a PPR league drafting 3 good RBs was a bit much. I would probably take Rice first still, but then I would have taken WRs earlier. Another lesson, know your leagues setup! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crxsh Posted September 2, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 Indeed. I was stunned that Welker fell to me @ #24. I get Calvin Johnson going ahead of him... and maybe even Larry Fitzgerald (even though I wouldn't touch him) and Andre Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
