1 player Keeper League
.5 PPR
Standard Scoring
I won the league two years ago and lost in the finals last year, but this team i'm not that confident about...


QB Matt Ryan (3rd)
RB Chris Ivory (4th)
RB Joique Bell (6th)
WR Antonio Brown (Keeper)
WR Alshon Jeffrey (1st)
Flex Mike Evans (2nd)
TE Martellus Bennett (5th)
Seattle D (9th)
Connor Barth (15th)

Bench:
TE Julius Thomas (7th)
RB David Cobb (8th)
QB Sam Bradford (10th)
WR Brandon Coleman (11th)
RB Chris Polk (12th)
RB Denard Robinson (13th)
RB Lance Dunbar (14th)

Basically, I'm fucked so bad at RB. It was honestly a situation where everyone was freaking out about the lack of RB's, so my philosophy was to get strong at QB and WR. And during the draft, RB's were going everywhere, so I went with my plan. But I don't know if I like it now lol

I think you reached early for a QB and TE's. Especially taking your backup TE in the 7th. But then again don't really know who was kept/where others guys were taking those positions. For where you drafted them I don't think your starting RBs are that awful for what you did. Those 2 guys if they are healthy will be the workhorse backs on their teams. But after those 2 guys you're completely fucked.

Where was Arian picked? I would have much rather had him than Julius (7th) Cobb (8th) or Seattle (9th). He would have made you winning with Bell and Ivory a lot more plausible.

He was picked in the 6th round.

Basically my league panicked on RB's. Everyone was so worried about getting 3 good RB's, that they took so many RB's off the board at least a full round before they should have gone.

I do agree with you guys about going TE and QB early...I just didn't want to get stuck with a mediocre fantasy QB since we have 6 points for a passing TD, QB's are so valuable. I'm big on Ryan this year so I reached. And I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get Julius Thomas in the 8th round. I love having "boom or bust" players on my bench.

With QBs getting 6 points for TDs Ryan in the 3rd isn't that bad then. Especially since I'm sure a few QBs were kept. I'm also high on Ryan this year.

I agree, you're RB's are going to screw you. You will need some solid cuff backs. Is Jeremy Langford or Khiry Robinson available? What about DeAngelo Williams or Cameron Artis-Payne? I think Chris Polk could have early value until Arian gets back, especially if Houston falls behind and is needing more pass protection.

I think both Denard Robinson and Lance Dunbar are never going to be worth playing unless there's an injury. Any of the other 4 would be better options, and have more upside later in the season.

Langford and Robinson are available. I'll swoop em up. Thanks.

I do have first waiver priority so I can hold onto hope that some RB will emerge off the waiver wire and I can pick him up.

Gotta figure C.J. Spiller is already banged up and Robinson was pretty good last year. Plus, Sean Payton's offense you really never know what's going to happen. They seem to always give fantasy value to 3 or 4 RB's...it's frustrating if you're an Ingram owner actually because he could be a 300+ carry/3rd down back if he needed to.
