    Plant Your Flag - Your Player / Team / Situation for 2020

    Sounds like somebody who saw the future and is merely trying to warn us all. I trust him. More important question is whether Washington covers the spread though?

    NE to go Undefeated

    People forget how hard New England had to play just to go 16-0 in the regular season in 2007, with an offense where Brady and Moss played out of their minds. Indy played them tough then Philly (finishing 8-8) and Baltimore (finishing 5-11) nearly defeated them. Even the Giants game at the end of...

    WR N'Keal Harry - CHI

    I'm not too surprised with this move. The Patriots have enough depth with Edelman, Gordon, and Dorsett at WR along with James White coming out of the backfield that they didn't need to press an injured N'Keal Harry onto the field if they didn't have to. Belichick often plays for the long term...

    WR Laquon Treadwell, SEA

    Always thought Treadwell fit the literal one-dimension 'high point the ball in the end zone' tall WR who really lacked the speed/separation for the NFL. Was stunned he went in the 1st Round (he never struck me as close to similar to guys like Josh Gordon, etc.) and it looks like Minnesota...

    What 12-24 ranked RB(s) have a legit shot at top cracking the 10 & why? Also, pick 1 bust.

    I can see this as last year Freeman still had 130 carries but only 14 catches. He struggled though with just a 4.0 YPC and horrible 5.1 YPR. Lindsay only had 192 carries but still topped 1,000 yards (notable 5.4 YPC) while hauling in 35 catches. Could there be a similar split this season...

    What 12-24 ranked RB(s) have a legit shot at top cracking the 10 & why? Also, pick 1 bust.

    My Candidates (per FBG Redraft PPR) 19 Josh Jacobs - Has a chance to be the bellcow in Oakland. If the offense clicks on the passing side, Gruden is used to riding his RBs hard and features them a fair bit in the passing game as well. Jacobs has a chance to slide in the latter Top 10 if he can...

    Fantasy Phrases and Cliches You're Over

    This guy is a Sleeper (when they are expected to be a Top 10 QB/RB/WR/TE). Sleepers should be that #2/#3 spot with potential to be a Top 10-12-14 finisher in your league. DEEP Sleepers are guys who are in that #4-#6 range who could end up being a #2 or #3 finisher with the right circumstances...

    Annual *Faust* appreciation thread.

    Pretty sure Faust is the Fantasy Football equivalent of Adam Schefter. Are we sure that Faust isn't the guy tapping away on his phone at a random local Starbucks scooping news before anybody else? Keep an eye out, folks. We may need to start up a Where's Faust? picture book series.

    TE Mark Andrews, BAL

    Even if Jackson remains a heavy volume runner, I think Andrews has some sneaky upside as the go to TE receiving option. His best fantasy comp is probably Alge Crumpler during the Vick Atlanta heydays of the early 2000s: While he didn't catch a lot of TDs, Crumpler from 2003-2006 put up the...

    2024 Detroit Lions: Draft complete.

    I think Detroit is emulating a lot of what the New England Patriots are doing (and were doing in the 2017-2018 Seasons) as they transition to more of a power running team. Detroit is working on utilizing a legitimate FB, they are striving for RBs who can do multiple things on the field but also...

    OFFICIAL 2019 Training Camp & Preseason: News & Tidbits Thread

    14 Biggest Questions for Green Bay Packers Entering Training Camp "Aaron Jones looks like the favorite to be the lead back in LaFleur’s offense, and for good reason, but the Packers coach has said all along that he wants a mix at running back." Curious if it's just coach speak or LaFleur ends...

    Post your rookie drafts - 2019

    With Dawson Knox (whom I picked up as a UDFA in my league and I only had ranked 7th in the 2019 TE Draft Class), I think there are some fears that athletic, fast TEs don't necessarily produce that way on the football field itself. He also had limited production coming out of Ole Miss (seeing his...

    Post your rookie drafts - 2019

    2 QB/3 RB/4 WR/2 TE/1 RB/WR/TE Flex with 2 PPR 12 Team League. Good QB talent tends to be taken high, WRs tend to get a boost, and scarcity can also boost TEs some. This was also started on May 3rd. 1.01: QB Kyler Murray 1.02: WR N'Keal Harry 1.03: RB Josh Jacobs 1.04: RB David Montgomery...

    Gordan and Ekelar vs LAR

    Rolling with Gordon against the Rams D. Raiders RBs had 13 catches (boosted by Jalen Richard but Richard was productive with 55 yards despite a long of 9) Cardinals RBs had 6 catches (on a day where Bradford completed 17 passes for 90 yards) with Chase Edmonds getting 5 himself. I think...

    2024 Detroit Lions: Draft complete.

    Just an observation from a Patriots homer but in re-watching the Stafford interceptions... Some of them were just poor reads/decision making. One of them was a bad read in which he tried to go deep sideline with a safety closing in whilst ignoring the blitzing Slot DB letting said Slot WR get...

    Week 1 Injury Update Thread

    I always found these threads super helpful. Surprised nothing yet? Ian Rapoport‏Verified account @RapSheet 13m13 minutes ago - #Vikings CB Xavier Rhodes, listed as questionable with a hamstring injury, is playing today vs the #49ers, I’m told. He did practice fully Friday, which was a good...

    Auction people-YOUR results & mistakes

    Gonna post my general thoughts re: Auctions that I've experienced/encountered over the past several years. Know your league's scoring and where the value lies there. Look at last year's end of year rankings. Depending on scoring, maybe QBs are more valuable and getting 2 elite QBs can push you...

    NFL Week 1 - Which match-ups are you most looking forward to?

    49ers @ Vikings is pretty good. Are the 49ers ready to make the jump and/or is Jimmy G for real? Are the Vikings for real with Cousins at QB or was last season a mirage? Does their defense remain top notch this year and retain the momentum it had last year? Rams @ Raiders is much for the same...

    2018 Tight-End Position

    I think Austin Hooper is kind of flying under the radar as a cheap, valuable pick at TE for potential breakout. While he has more competition with Ridley now, he did flash as a rookie with a 14.3 YPR and last year seemed like an acclimation year to Sarkisian's offense. Despite that, he improved...

    Indefinite New England Patriots Thread

    I actually think the Patriots have quietly amassed a really good, fast LB core with Dont'a Hightower at OLB, Elandon Roberts & maybe Bentley at ILB, and Rivers at OLB as their pass rush specialist. Christian Sam's flashed a little as well. I'm really looking forward to Eric Lee's progress...
