Bold stuff going WR/WR. I love the names, but I wonder how much you'll end up paying for it. Who do you project your RB's to be?

 

 

He should be starring at a group of players like DeMarco Muray, Davis Wilson, Lamar Miller, Chris Ivory, MJD and Eddie Lacy. Very serviceable starters with 2 great WR's. I'm assuming he goes back to back with RB's then waits on a quality QB in the 5th or 6th.

AJ and Marshall are a great duo. I might have gone Bryant over Marshall -- only because Dez is younger, possibly still improving, and has the easier schedule (I'm not sure by how much, just remember that Romo has one of the easiest passing schedules this year).

 

Of course, Dez could decide to go to the mall with his pants too low and all of his potential goes out the window.

I must be missing something about Steven Jackson since he is once again drafted way too early for my taste. I would not really count on Steven Jackson to be anything but a low RB2.

He should be more involved in the passing game than either Lynch or Morris, who are going in the early second round. Atlanta has never had a weapon like this before, Jackson has never been on a winning team before that should have him more motivated than he has ever been. And If a slowed down Turner can score 12 TD's in this system, Jackson is going to be a monster IMO.

I am in this camp as well because of his receiving abilities and the heart he showed while playing on such a lousy team. I bet he feels like a kid again.

I would agree he is just a RB2 guy. He has really never been much else. In the last 6 seasons, in a PPR league, he has ranked 15th, 15th, 7th, 12th, 10th and 17th on a team that had nearly no other offensive weapons. Now he is 30 years old in a new system with more tread on his tires than any active RB.

He also has played with a terrible StL team all those years and only scoring 4 TD's a year. I would be shocked if Jackson doesn't score at least 10+ TD's this year in that high power offense. Key will be staying healthy for him. He scored 200 pts with only 4 TD's last year I can see Jackson at 250ish points this year.

He is actually pretty lucky as 19 backs are gone but Wilson, Miller and Murray all still on the board. I have been in drafts where those guys were all gone before the 3.11 pick and he would have been looking at trouble.

I would have replaced Green with Bryant. Bryant is the better receiver and all reports are positive about how he has matured personally and has become a student of the game. I think he's in for a monster year. He was the 2nd best WR in the 2nd half of the season last year just behind Megatron.

 

Love Marshall where he got him in a PPR league. Lot's of RB value left on the board. Interesting to see where Watt went.

I gave consideration to AJ Green, Marshall and Dez as the WRs I wanted to get 2 of based on how I expected the draft to break...in digging a bit deeper is when I realized that Dez, had four games with 4 or fewer catches to close the season out...that and I wasn't overly impressed with his target numbers (still think he is in for a good year) so when you take those two things and couple them with the added knuckleheadedness factor I just felt the other two guys were the better/safer picks....85/1200/6 should be a floor for both but my expectations are for 100+ catches for each.

 

I know going WR/WR isn't for the faint of heart but I thought at worst I would be looking at David Wilson/Chris Ivory/Ridley & Lamar Miller...at best I was holding out hope that Sproles and/or Reggie Bush would fall...as for my next pass I know what I am looking at doing but you'll have to check back to see what happens.

 

I know it seems like Watt went to early but quite frankly I don't think he did...especially when you see that two QBs went before him and they don't have near the value that Watt does...If you combine the fantasy pts for the #5 & #6 DL in this scoring system last year they scored 322.25 points...Watt scored 322.50

JJ Watt at 3.08??? Tell me that was a mistake.

 

just finished tweeting this....Watt scored 322.5 pts in this format....the #5 & #6 DLs combined to score 322.25 pts....that makes Watt MUCH more valuable than the top QBs and two of them are off the board already, yet no one even says a peep about that...I'm working on a new metric that should improve on how value is determined versus the old tried and true method of VBD...I've yet to work any IDPs into it but my best guess is that the top DL will be way up the list.

JJ Watt finished 13th in total scoring with there format. Quite frankly, he should have went a LOT sooner.

 

That doesn't matter...what matters is how his value is compared to the others at his position and how that relates to other positions.

Too bad Murray or Miller didn't make it to you at 4.02 I don't like Ivory at 4.02 at all that looks like a reach to me. I don't think he will give the production to warrant a high 4th round pick. He also gets hurt a lot and Jets offense is not good offense.

I would have considered Miller if he was available...Murray offers upside but I just can't buy into him...as for the Jets offense...it sucked last year and Greene still finished as RB18.

I disagree. You can't chase a monster season with an insanely high draft pick... it rarely works out. If you really believe that Watt will continue to consistently out perform every other DL, then good on you. But more likely is that he comes back to mere human levels of production, and this 3rd round pick will be closer in numbers to someone else's 10th round pick.

Just by using pure VBD off 2012's stats QB1 has a value of 108.20. If you deduct 10% from Watt's stats his VBD is 169.75. Go 20% and it's 137.3, and at 30% it's still 105.25.

Remember last year when Redman was being drafted so high like 4th-6th rounds in drafts ? I am worried Ivory will be another Redman a guy who has never done much gets thrown into a starting roll then tanks. I just could never take a guy like Ivory over the 3 WR's that you passed up for him in Harvin, Cruz and White...I get that you need a RB but I still think you lost a lot of value at that pick. You also drafted in the fantasy index one last year I was just looking at it that had to be a rough season your 1st 2 picks were Mathews, Nicks. TC Cannon took only 3 RB's in that draft and they were Murray, Best and Gerhart not sure how anyone can just draft those 3 backs he must have been getting double 0s for half the season at RB he could not have finished well.

I would much rather have Forte and White or Cruz in a PPR league than Marshall and Ivory. By a mile. And I'm high on the Ivory sleeper idea. Even Wilson is too much risk for my blood. That guy wasn't just in the doghouse last year, he was dead, buried, and the earth salted on his grave. It's way early still and they could easily bring another guy in - and Ryan Torain could even steal some thunder.

 

The more I prepare for the season, the more I think you can't afford to go WR/WR. RB's are too steep a dropoff this year. I've done it many times in the past, and always felt better about it, but that's just scary stuff right there. Maybe the RB's will develop as the preseason goes along, but I don't see the reward that outweighs the risk.

 

edit: good lord I didn't even notice Harvin was available too. No question, I want at least one RB in the 1/2 swing. There's nothing stopping you from taking two more if great ones are available, but you're almost forced to go RB there when the BPA are clearly at other positions. Not sure what Olinger is trying to accomplish going 4xRB, but his potential was Richardson and Morris with Harvin and Cruz. Wow.
