ABearWithFurniture Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Seeing him go as the 5th/6th QB in a few mocks this year, and I just don't get it. He had those 2 monster games last season and the other 14 games he was right there running alongside Joe Flacco's numbers. Please tell me what am I missing?

Dolphin_Akie Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I agree, too high for me there but I generally avoid these mid range QBs as they interchange from year to year. I'm either taking Rodgers/Luck early or waiting till everyone has got their starting QB to get mine (varying success as had Wilson in my main league but crapped out on Eli in another).

BA Baracus Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 In MFL10'S Ben is going in the QB6-8 range. He is in a dead heat with Brees and Matt Ryan with all of them going in the range of 80th to 90th overall. This seems about right to me. PIT should have a better offense than either the Saints or Falcons and they should skew slightly pass heavy. They invested in some pass catchers in the draft and already have a nice set returning from last year. Given that both the Saints and Falcons are looking to shift towards a run based, ball control offense, I prefer Ben over both of his closest ADP comparables. QB'S taken after this trio include: Tannehill, Brady, Stafford, and Romo. I can't see moving any of them ahead of Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldaelkffchamp Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 The only thing I'd consider in drafting Ben is he actually has the #1 hardest schedule for passers this year. That's enough for me to consider taking Brees or Ryan in the soft Afc south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Big Ben is primed for a big year. The Steelers d blows, and they possess a formidable offense that doesn't and won't get the credit. Big Ben will be chucking it 40+ times per game. Edited June 16, 2015 by irish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millworkguy Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Not sure if i'd be buying him in redraft (not that I do many anymore) but happily got him, moncrief(ts) and a 2nd for peyton, 2 months ago, with both qb's on a 1yr deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 This Yeah, not sure where I heard it but there are expectations that this offense will need to throw more than ever and Big Ben will have as formidable of a receiving corps as he's ever had. Brown is a stud, Bryant, Wheaton, Coates and once he returns from his suspension, a solid pass-catching back in Bell. I'll be a buyer in redraft formats and if he continues to be a "value", he'll be a guy I look at in DFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Sucker... Ya know... I just checked the latest ADP figures at MFL and he's currently going as QB8 and #82 overall. So end of 6th in 12-team drafts. Eh. Usually a little higher than I like taking my QB in redraft formats. Maybe folks are overdoing it on the Kool-Aid just a bit. Rivers at QB15 / #127 seems like a better value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABearWithFurniture Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Liking where you can get Ryan, Tannehil, Stafford and Rivers way late...lot's of people seem to be unsure of where to take Newton as well. Seen him fall pretty far in a couple of drafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
