anyone play Fantasy Football?

XHonusWagnerX - 8-30-2012 at 01:33 PM

I got talked into being in a league at work. I dont watch (or like) football, but my girlfriend watches all the games so she will pick the team.

We picked the draft order today and I got #1 so if anyone plays whats your stragety?

ChadBeantown - 8-30-2012 at 01:40 PM

It depends on how the scoring is done in your league but most of them are pretty similar. Take Arian Foster or Ray Rice for your first pick!!! GOOD LUCK!!

XHonusWagnerX - 8-30-2012 at 01:41 PM

yeah someone told me Ray Rice, but I dont even know that name... hahah!

all I know about the league is the head guy says we have no real bonus' for players and no points per reception.

ChadBeantown - 8-30-2012 at 01:46 PM

OK. The points per reception makes a difference!! My league did the draft last night and I had the second pick and took Ray Rice, but Arian Foster was the first over all pick. Aaron Rogers would be a pretty good early pick if he is still around for your second pick but chances are very slim!!

Arian Foster

ChadBeantown - 8-30-2012 at 03:55 PM

If it was a points per reception league then I would go with Arian Foster but since it isn't I would go with Aaron Rodgers.

clevohardcore - 8-30-2012 at 04:16 PM

I've been in a league going on 14 years now. My draft is this Saturday. Its a safe bet if you go with FOSTER, RICE or even McCoy. McCoy is not a hot pick out of the three, but dude always shines every year he has played. If your scoring system favors Quarterbacks with points then you definitely want to get Brees, Rogers or even Stafford. If it s a 10 man league then maybe one of those I listed will fall back to you in the second round. Tight Ends are top 4 and then wait. Graham, Gronkoski, Henderson and then the rest. Those dudes are hot ticket this season so they may get taken real early.

1. Arian Foster
2. Ray Rice
3. LeSean McCoy
4. Calvin Johnson
5. Aaron Rodgers
6. Darren McFadden- Lower
7. Tom Brady
8. Chris Johnson
9. Drew Brees
10. Matt Forte
11. Jimmy Graham
12. Larry Fitzgerald
13. Rob Gronkowski
14. Marshawn Lynch- Lower
15. A.J. Green
16. Matthew Stafford - Higher
17. Jamaal Charles
18. Cam Newton
19. DeMarco Murray
20. Julio Jones
21. Victor Cruz
22. Ryan Mathews
23. Roddy White - Lower
24. Maurice Jones-Drew
25. Brandon Marshall - Boo

^^^^ That list is right on the money. I gave my opinion to a couple of them, but otherwise its dead on I think.

What website is your league using Honus?


clevohardcore - 8-30-2012 at 04:20 PM

SO those that participate in fantasy football Would you keep

DL Avril or DB Burnett?

The league I am in we keep 3 offense and 3 defense players. I am having a rough time deciding between either of them as my 3rd defensive keeper. I need to know by tonight at 11 as the lineups freeze for the keepers. For the record I am leaning on Avril.

ChadBeantown - 8-30-2012 at 04:52 PM

That is a tough decision for defense. I am glad my league you only pick a teams defense not individual players!!

clevohardcore - 8-30-2012 at 09:02 PM

Who you like best between them. I could flip a coin, but i have Avril set to be kept. I like Burnet thinking I could keep him longer.

Vanilla Gorilla - 8-30-2012 at 10:49 PM

Playing again for the first time in over a decade in a 12 team league the picking was slim but at least i got a couple good ones in a two qb league

Megatron
Philip Rivers
Jay cutler if he stays healthy
Aaoron Hernandez
Jordy Nelson
Shonn Greene i fucking hate the jets but if he stays healthy he could have a good year
Texans Defense

clevohardcore - 8-31-2012 at 12:08 AM

Cutler needs to step up for sure.

JawnDiablo - 8-31-2012 at 06:09 AM

Me, I fantasize about chicks.

^^^^^ Not big on Sproles or Benson, but that team is pretty stellar.

clevohardcore - 9-5-2012 at 03:08 PM

Hernandez is the #3 top tight end overall although I think he is awesome.

ChadBeantown - 9-5-2012 at 04:11 PM

Oh ya!! For some reason I was thinking he had Gronkowski.

clevohardcore - 9-5-2012 at 05:52 PM

Gronk is a beast.
