Don't like to trade offense for defense but...

Postby boobam13 » Fri Oct 12, 2018 5:48 pm

Team is starting to come together a little and feel I am still the team to beat at 3-2

I think I am a STUD LB away from locking things up

QB - Watson or Brady
RB - Gurley and Jax RB
WR - Hopkins, AB, Evans, Kupp, Sanders, Sheppard
TE - Kelce, Gronk
K - Bryant
DL - Chandler Jones
LB - Demaro Davis, Mark Barron, Shaq Green, Bernardrick Mckinney
DB - Boston, Byard, Swearinger, Sean Davis, J Tart, Trey Flowers(Sea)

On going talks with Kuechly owner - would you give Sheppard for LUKE???
Start 1 DL, 2 LB, 2 DB and 2 DEF Flex

Thoughts?

Since you can only start a max of 3 WRs and Shepard is you #5, I would.
League #1- 14 tm ppr, 1Q, 2R, 3W, 1T, 1 R/W/T, 1K
1 DT, 2 DE, 2 LB, 1 CB, 1 S, 1 flex

League #2- 12 team PPR, 1Q, 1R, 2W, 1T, 1 R/W/T, 1 W/R/T, 1 Def

League #3- 12 tm PPR, 1Q, 0R (yes, ZERO RB) 3W, 1T, 2 R/W/T flex, 1 Def

.5 PPR/$200 budget

I still wouldn’t. It’s start 2 LB, there’s almost no such thing as a “stud LB”. It’s more about making sure you have several guys who play 90-100% of the snaps and then just play matchups each week.

I wouldn't. LBs are a crap shoot and Luke's a concussion away from maybe retiring.

Figured I'd just add to this thread instead of creating a new one.

What about Jarrad Davis for Jamison Crowder? Balanced scoring, deep league.

That’s closer but I’d prefer crowder
