Make that trade in a heart beat. You have the Titans spot locked up and JStew is still going to be decent until Mixon explodes onto the scene.

You think? I feel like West could be a decent #2 for Baltimore. Get TDs and a decent amount of work with Dixon hurt

Another fantasy season and another season of optimism as I have not made the playoff in 3 years  so no pressure on the advice 

I am in a 12 team standard league (#2 pick) and I am having trouble figuring out my round 2/3 turn which is pick 23 and 26.

If Zeke drop there would you draft him over the likes of  Gronk, Baldwin, Cooper, Gurley,  Miller, Crowell? As I hoping to pick him up up along with Gronk, Baldin, or Cooper (best case scenario).

I don't typically reach for TE and/or QB but if Kelce and/or Brady are available in the 4/5 turn (pick47/50).  Would that be consider great value and a must pick?

 

Yeah, imagine a draft plan of Bell-Gronk-Zeke-Brady as your core then just stockpile WRs.  That team should be hard to beat come playoffs.

QB and RB are solid, but your WRs and TEs are extremely weak.  I don't understand drafting a backup to Brady.  Wasted roster spot.

Just for fun...say you're draft goes like this...

1. David Johnson
2. Lev Bell
3. Antonio Brown
4.Julio Jones
5. Odell Beckham 
6. Lesean McCoy 
7. Aaron Rodgers
8. Devonta Freeman 
9. AJ Green 
10. Tom Brady 
11. Mike Evans 

You have the 12-13 turn, what route do you go? I tend to lean toward the Doubling down at a certain position, so do you go Jordy Nelson and Michael Thomas, do you go Melvin Gordon and DeMarco Murray or do you go one WR and one RB? 

I'd go Nelson and Gordon.  I wouldn't hone in on doubling down just because.

We have 2 guys that like taking QBs early and you rip on my entire league? We've been together for 9 years and it's actually extremely competitive. Every league has a guy or two that is sub par. 

Don't gotta be a **** about it. 

You need to relax man.  He was clearly kidding.

Gordon or Freeman? Half point ppr

Gordon.  More consistent last year, and I don't have to worry about Coleman.

I love Jordy more than Thomas and Gordon more than Murray and Thomas so I'd take Jordy and Gordon. Not only are they the best imo but by taking RB/WR, you don't have to pigeon-hole yourself in round 3 and 4. If you go RB/RB or WR/WR then you feel like you either can't take one again or forced to take someone else who might not be best value

Here is my team:

What do you think and would you trade T. West for Allen Robinson?

RB: D. Murray, Mixon, Gillislee, T. West, Perkins, J-Stew, D. Henry

WR: Jordy, Michael Thomas, L Fitz, J. Matthews

Really nice team, and yes, I would trade West for Robinson on sheer value alone.

[EaglesPeteC]

I posed this question before, didn't much response. In a standard league at pick 3, I'm really think going Shady McCoy over Antonio Brown. I feel like the RB board is going to be decimated before I pick again and there will be better WR's to have than RB's in Rounds 2-5.

Terrible idea? 

[MdTitansFan56]

Well I got shut out on QB's (Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Ryan, WIlson, Cousins, Mariota, Winston, Prescot, Carr) who should I gamble on? Luck, Newton (Rushing is double for QB), Rivers. Should I grab Luck, Goff, and a cheaper later tier guy in case of injury? Or should I grab Luck and Wentz. There are salary caps attached to the picks as well. Luck is the most expensive, newton and Rivers are comparable. I need to draft 2 QB's minimum for roster requirements.

Rest of my team so far

McCoy, Fournette, Ingram, Riddick

Jeffrey, Pryor, M. Bryant, Tyrell Williams, Watkins

Olsen.

Need 2 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR, 1 TE, 2 DEF, 2 K

Do you think Mixon/Gil will be a formidable enough #2 rb? I assume Robinson would be my flex

No, not a terrible idea at all. There are a crap ton of #1 quality receivers all the way until the 5th round. Which makes me want a RB in round 1 as well. Everytime I'm choosing my #1 RB in rounds 2 or 3, i never like the look of my team. I'm always ultra thin at rb.

I don't think its a bad idea at all. He is the 3rd best RB and tbh i don't have Brown as the #1 WR so i would probably take Mccoy there too

 

What do you think of my trade?

I would definitely take Luck and Rivers/Cam. Luck is a Top-6 fantasy QB when healthy. If he misses 1 game then Cam/Rivers can bridge the gap. If forced to draft 2, don't waste a spot on Goff. Wentz would be a high upside guy but maybe don't tie him to Luck since the risk is there

That is a tough call if it's PPR I would do the trade to increase your depth alone. Allen Robinson has QB issues which scares me but you are pretty deep at HB. 

 

Also it's one of the 3 top guys I can't afford 2 of them. It's a salary cap league Luck is the 3rd highest paid player in the league. That's the only reason I'm entertaining Goff because he is a starting QB for under 3k. Wentz is slightly higher at 3170. Buy 2 of those 3 guys would cost me 10k+ which would lock up 20% of my cap in 2 guys one of which will be able to be started a week. I can't allocate that much into a back up. 

 

Reasons I'm leaning towards Luck, he's the best QB of the 3. 

 

Reasons I'm leaning towards Newton: Double rushing stats for QB's, Easiest schedule per SOS for QB's, cheaper, could be playing this week. Luck's OL is bad, and their center is out for 6-8 weeks

Idk i think I'm just worried West is the guy and will be an easy #2 for me but he just might be a higher volume but less effective TD dependent rb

Back to your thing, what are the costs for everyone? I missed the salary cap costs. Yea Newton gets a huge boost for running but thats if he is old Cam. Didnt cam have just 300 or so yards rushing? Are rushing TDs worth double too?
