2015 Fantasy Football advice thread

[HaplessHenchman]

Figured I would start this thread for the new year with a couple of questions:

- After Luck and Rodgers, who are the next top 3 QBs I should be going after?

- What rookies do you think could have a fantasy impact this year?

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Ben Roethlisberger
Tom Brady
Tony Romo


I think Manning could be put in that list as well....but his vulnerability will be in question.

For your second question. Chicago Bears WR Kevin White could be someone to watch out for.

I agree with Big Ben and Tony Romo but Brady? No one knows how that suspension fiasco is going to turn out plus his fantasy numbers aren't really all that great the last couple of years.

Yes, P. Manning's injury vulnerability scares me but what if he is there in Round 3 or 4 and I still need a QB? Tough call...

Had not heard the name Kevin White. Thanks for the tip.

After your performance last year IN SHHFFL, my advice to you is to just quit.

i agree

Does they Hype have a FF league? I don't have anyplace to play this year, and since I'm always on the Hype I figured it'd be cool to play with y'all.

Are you referring to my 10 game winning streak and #1 seed in the playoffs?

Yeah, I was terrible...

You sat on a throne of lies!

You sat on a throne of lies!

And I'll sit on it again if it gets me the same number of wins.

I really Like Big Ben after Luck and Rodgers.

I'm having a hard time with the rookies this year. The problem is that a number of them are ranked so high in the Yahoo default player list that they are getting drafted via the auto-picking teams.

Last year I was able to take a flyer in the late rounds on Mike Evans and he paid off big. This year picks like that are going to be hard to find I'm suspecting.

For rookies to draft in the late rounds, I'd go with Philip Dorsett, Tyler Lockett, Maxx Williams. Fantasy sports has gotten so big that there really are no sleepers anymore.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Needs some advice on a trade I was just offered.


Guy offered me Jeremy Hill/Golden Tate for Marshawn Lynch.

My lineup right now is this. 10 team league

QB Drew BreesNO - QB @Ari 19.89
WR T.Y. HiltonInd - WR @Buf 9.32
WR Larry FitzgeraldAri - WR NO 7.83
RB Marshawn LynchSea - RB @StL 13.44
RB Alfred MorrisWas - RB Mia 10.41
TE Owen DanielsDen - TE Bal 5.68
W/R Victor CruzNYG - WR @Dal 7.75
K Matt BryantAtl - K Phi 9.13
DEF MinnesotaMin - DEF @SF 7.87
Bench
BN Devin FunchessCar - WR @Jax 6.79
BN Mike WallaceMin - WR @SF 6.90
BN LeGarrette BlountNE - RB Pit 0.00
BN Brandon LaFellNE - WR Pit 6.01
BN Carson PalmerAri - QB NO 17.01
BN Breshad PerrimanBal - WR @Den 6.04


My WR core right now is injury prone...so Golden Tate would be an upgrade. And Jeremy Hill has some upside and has been taken in the first round in drafts this year. What do you guys think?

I would do it.

It would be a bit of a risk since you are trading a known commodity in Lynch for a couple of somewhat unknowns in Tate and Hill. However, I think the potential upside of those two players is worth the risk of trading the one player.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

I'd do that as well. Lynch has a lot of miles on those tires and is just about at the point in his career where he'll fall off quickly.

Hill is an up and coming fantasy RB, plus you're adding a real solid WR in Golden Tate. This will help get Larry Fitzgerald out of your starting lineup which is somewhere he no longer belongs. Not to mention your WR depth overall is shaky with LaFell being hurt and Funchess/Perriman being completely unknown commodities.

I would do that trade without even thinking twice, Hill was the leading rusher during the last 9 weeks of last season,I honestly think he will finish in the top 5 at the end of the season,Gio's role is going to be reduced even futher than before.

I would however try and get another wr instead of Tate, as good as he was last season, most of his production came during Calvin's absence.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Thanks, guys, but he canceled the trade on me before I could react.

thanks Kaleb

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Lamar Miller is what happens when you dont draft a RB until Round 3.

Friends don't let friends not draft a RB before Round 3.

 

[ComicChick]

how did you know? lol

i had the last pick in the rounds so i went with Luck and Beckham first eh

 

[Kaleb]

Team I drafted last weekend (16 team keeper league, Brees,Lacy and Calvin are my keepers)
