August 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 29, 2013 -> 09:00 PM) No, Run DMc was the other option. I have Mathews. He'll be great there. Giant reach in round 3. Maybe he'll have more tds than broken collarbones this year... QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 29, 2013 -> 09:41 PM) RB Andre Brown of the Giants just broke his leg. Hope no one drafted him. Wow. Makes David Wilson waaaaay more valuable. Excellent.

August 30, 201312 yr 14 team league QB: RG3 RB1: Foster RB2: Jones-Drew WR1:Fitzgerald WR2: Steve Smith TE: Sudfeld Flex: T. Austin/M. Austin D/ST: Bears Like every team in my league my bench is basically garbage and not worth talking about.

August 30, 201312 yr Well I had to miss the draft and had the league manager's dad draft in my place with some guidelines, here's what I ended up with: 12 team league QB: Wilson RB1: Rice RB2: Miller WR1: Amendola WR2: Boldin TE: jimmy Graham Flex: MJD D/ST: Tampa (lol, this will change weekly) K: Phil Dawson Bench: Ballard, Moore, Roethlisberger, Broyles, Sidney Rice Probably better than I would have done on my own!

Well, it is about what round you get guys in since he may have been there in Round 4 or 5. Plus, it's Ryan Mathews. He went 30-something to you when his average ADP is like 65.

He went 30-something to you when his average ADP is like 65. There's no chance in f*** all he was getting back to me at the end of round 5 (the best RB available at that point wound up being Chris Ivory). I knew I was taking Matt Stafford in round 4, because f*** if I wasn't getting Matt Stafford this year. http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1...86/draftresults It's about building a team, seeing what's available, and taking what you want. Ryan Mathews will be invaluable as a FLEX to me this year, and I knew I could stack up on wideouts I like later on anyway. Yes, I could have taken some turd like Andre Johnson, Wes Welker, or Larry Fitzgerald, or I could have done what I did, not lived in the past, and still wound up with studs later.

August 30, 201312 yr Too many people get roped into "that's TOO EARLY" for so and so player - hell, I've done it. Then some assbag gets said player, or there's a run on the position, and all the sudden that's why we draft instead of just letting the Yahoo "experts" or 95% of grovelling fools who set ADP dictate when and where taking a player is too early. My team is stacked, because I had goals in mind and knew when I would be able to get guys I like. Sometimes, it's fun to not follow the drones.
August 30, 201312 yr Unless some jerk reaches even further than me, there is no way I'm not taking David Wilson on the turn at 12/13

I'd still wait before pigeon-holing yourself. You could have Shady, MJD, Ray Rice, etc.

LOL, turd like Larry Fitzgerald. You must really, really love Ryan Mathews. Because that pick sticks out like a sore thumb in the 3rd round considering who was available. If he has a monster year, I'll tip my cap to you. But I just don't see the value there, especially with 2 RB's already on your team. I would have taken Sproles, Lacy, or Miller before him. But holy s*** your team would be even better if you had Roddy White (how the hell did he last until the end of round 4) or Larry Fitzgerald.
August 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 09:50 AM) Ryan Mathews is f***ing horrible. Bad bad bad bad. Well, yes.

You could have Shady, MJD, Ray Rice, etc. There is no way I'm taking MJD over Wilson. Ray Rice I probably would have to, but he won't make it to me anyways, there's a guy in our league who has a boner for him. I think Wilson can easily put up 1400 and 10 this year, and those could be even better too knowing how often the Giants like to pound it in near the end zone (/anal joke). I might be able to get guys like Bradshaw, Lacy, Bernard, Bell, Miller, Run DMC, Mathews, or Ivory later on too, or perhaps take Richardson and Pead in one shot in like the 11th and 12th and then hope one gets hot. All I know is that I want Wilson this year and I think he's going to be a top 10 back. I stashed him all year last year and he helped me make money, and I am going back to that well again this year. But this is why I hate picking 12th...he'll almost certainly be available at 24 but he's gone in that 29-34 range.
August 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 11:06 AM) Fitzgerald was pretty worthless last year I think that's going to totally change this year. Carson Palmer can still throw the football and they will be behind a lot. He had absolutely no one to throw the ball to him last year. You don't have to be a good real QB to be a good fantasy QB, and that was Carson Palmer last year.
August 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 10:06 AM) Fitzgerald was pretty worthless last year Because he had high school qbs trying to get him the ball. Now he has Palmer, and Arians calling plays. Edited August 30, 201312 yr by IlliniKrush

Dwayne Bowe and Pierre Garcon, drafted much later, will be better than either this season.

He still has a noodle armed QB except that Smith throws even MORE in between the numbers. Bowe is a vertical, middle to deep threat wide out. If Bowe has the same eyar as last, it would be a good year.

I think, bottomline, if you are counting on Garcon or Bowe to be anything more than a WR3 - aka flex play - you are in trouble
