I'm slumming it with Benjamin Watson and Owen Daniels for now. My WR crew is also pretty weak now with just Vincent Jackson and Victor Cruz. |
Hope you have a backup plan for Cruz. He is still dealing with inflammation after a devastating knee injury. |

I'm still trying to replace Nelson. Other managers WR backups are better than my starters. _________________ http://media.giphy.com/media/zNyBPu5hEFpu/giphy.gif

Take a flyer on Ty Lockett. He's going to be the Seahawks primary Kick returner, and a Defacto WR2. He's got more speed than Devin Hester in his prime, and is the only receiver outside of TE Graham that can stretch the field for the Seahawks. While he won't rack up as many targets and the good receivers around the league, there's a very good chance that most of his targets will be long gainers. When you add in the guaranteed points from his return yardage, he's not a bad "Off the Radar" guy at all since he'll never leave you with a gooseegg like other middle-line receivers. I suspect he'll be one of the more popular adds by week #3. _________________ I'm On point, On task, On message, and Off drugs. A Streetwise Smart Bomb, Out of rehab and In denial.

You mean a football WR2, not a fantasy WR2, right? Because he probably won't be fantasy relevant unless he gets volume. I do like his talent, I just question whether he has the volume to be a reliable fantasy player.
If someone is short on WR, you just need to find someone who has a good chance of getting targets for a couple weeks while you wait for those diamonds in the FA rough to show themselves.
Maybe a flier on a GB receiver with Cobb hurt and Nelson out. Brian Quick likely gone but if not he's worth a look.
Aussie, fwiw, most standard leagues do not credit the player for return yards. If anything, he's on Special Teams doing that so if it's enabled that way, the DST would get the credit. |

I think the presence of Ty Lockett is more significant for the Seahawks D/ST than it is to actually draft Lockett to your team.
If you have the Seahawks as you're defense this year, you're probably pleased that they might get you some special teams TDs from the look of it, in addition to the fact that they're a good D too. I had Philly's D last year, their actual defense wasn't great, but their special teams hooked me up with some TDs _________________ Lakers, Chargers, Dodgers, Arsenal FC.

Anyone play in a Keeper League?
I'm in one where we can keep 2 players. We give up the previous round draft pick from where we drafted the kept player. It's tough to plan for. |

Yeah that looked like the draft results of a 10-team league.
It's pretty decent. Would have been phenomenal for a 12-teamer.
Get rid of Vick. In a 10-teamer, should be plenty of QBs available better than Vick. My advice? Drop Vick, and take a flyer on a wide receiver because you need help there. Alshon is going to be a stud, but he has health issues. Amari Cooper is a rookie on a garbage team.
About 2 weeks prior to Rodgers' bye week, drop someone and pick up a streamer QB with a great matchup. |

Dorsett? Colts? Now that's a definition of a flyer!
I'm in 4 leagues -- so I'm basically supporting everyone at some point or another |

I'm down. I'm only in 2 leagues right now. Would like the 3rd to be an LG one. Or else I'm just gonna slum it on some yahoo or nfl public league.
Anyone do the DraftKings thing?
I might invest like 25 bucks and see what I can do. _________________ "Dread it, run from it... destiny arrives all the same." |

If anyone else wants to join, DM me your email address and I will send invites off. |

Got it.
Left a message in the other NFL thread to see if anyone is interested. There's gotta be at least 10 of us interested in this _________________ "Dread it, run from it... destiny arrives all the same." |

Eddie Lacy
Emmanuel Sanders
Megatron
Brandon Marshall

Just finished my draft tonight in a strange league. Not only normal positions, there is also a rb/wr AND a wr/te along with a head coach. 10 team league, I stocked up on wr

RB: Gordon, Gurley, Tre Mason, Crowell
WR: A Brown. Julio, Cobb, Maclin, Steve Smith Sr., Quick, Randle
TE: Olsen, Donnell
D: Vikings
K: Zeurlein
HC: Packers
What do you guys think? I'm pretty happy, as long as my rookie RBs do good. |
