NFL talk? Questions about American football?

So I went completely against my Zero RB comment in the last post and ran an All RB strat.

Thoughts?

There are always wide receivers available in the lower rounds that will garner you points if you know where to look - starting running backs are the true commodity, and unless a starter gets injured or plays awfully and an unknown 1st or 2nd year player comes in and plays well (e.g. in 2013, Bobby Rainey, Zac Stacy) you're screwed if you don't have running backs that consistently put up 8-10 points a week.

On the other hand, there are receivers on the waiver wire consistently, and breakout candidates always waiting - I think I picked up Josh Gordon in round 10+ of 12 and 14 team leagues last year, and guys like Doug Baldwin/Golden Tate.

Even right now in my 12 team league Marvin Jones, Harry Douglas, Kenny Stills and Eddie Royal are still available - these are guys who can put up massive points in one off weeks if you know your opposition. All of those guys have huge upside.
On the other hand, the only RBs available are Donald Brown, Bobby Rainey and Bilal Powell.
They're all guys worth picking up if Matthews/Martin/Johnson go down, but otherwise you'll never have a reason to start them. Get the RBs early and pick up the WRs later.

I'm a big fan of the first 7 picks, but I think I would have gone with a QB before Colston - and definitely would have picked up a cuff for RGIII, who has boom or bust written all over him.

Amazed that Lynch was there at 10, and Bell at 30 (and Jordan Reed in the 12th round!). That said, I'd be really happy with that team...except RGIII. Don't trust him as far as Tim Tebow could throw him.
I'm sure you could trade Reggie Bush for a decent QB if you need an urgent replacement though.

Love the ambition DT! I've even backed up my Cincinatti claim with £5 EW bet that they win the Superbowl at 33/1. They have just become my 2nd team and will likely become my 1st team for the season if/when Jacksonville become irrelevant in the playoff chase... according to some bull**** analysis tool from some NFL broadcaster, they're starting 0-8 again so that might well be very soon!

Packers win tonight. AROD all day.

Bold predictions...

49ers don't make the playoffs. Cardinals do.
Both AFC wildcards come from the North (thinking about it, that's not too bold, basically just me saying the Chargers aren't gonna make it lol)
Percy Harvin stays healthy and this is his year.
Kelvin Benjamin takes OROY...


...and Jerry Jones goes on a massive drunken rant on live TV, about how Manziel is his love-child... gets forced out of the Cowboys organisation and becomes a Manziel-stalker




LOB baby

Come on you have to be bolder than that!

I'll throw another in for good measure. Sherman will be suspended for more games than interceptions he makes.

Fiiine! I'll go with Eli throwing more INTs than Peyton throws TDs.
MJD takes Comeback Player of the Year
Tebow is on a roster by the end of the year (I vote the Bills)

Gerald McCoy takes DPOY and LeSean McCoy takes OPOY.. not that bold really but that would amuse me

Thats the kind of BOLD I can appreciate. I'll eagerly watch the Manning v Manning Ints v TDs battle.

But

**** MJD and **** TIM TEBOW

TEEEBLOWS

Montee Ball gonna be a top 3 running back this year, book it.

sorry guys, been so busy, I'm still down for the draft if we still have a space?

I've also done a 20man league with my American football team mates (yeah I play it too!), and that is bloody tough to draft in.

Here is my team :



I feel I did well, considering it was a 20 man league and it got difficult after round 5/6 lol.

What do you guys think of my team?

My flex did my head in this week, I have decided to go with Hawkins from the Browns at Flex instead of Miller, purely because fins don't have a pure starter and he'll be swapping shift wise, and I feel Randle may not do as well as Hawkins. Reasoning for Hawkins is the Browns depth is low at WR and he is, atm, their main man for WR so I expect him to make some plays.

I even think the Browns could win there week 1 game for a change.
