Re: Antonio Brown’s feets

Anyone make any recent moves involving him? Not trying to hijack this.
I traded Brown and Henry for Zeke and a 2020 first (probably mid-round) a couple weeks ago. Didn’t expect to be this happy about it this quickly.

Re: Players you’ve held the longest.

I'm down to only one league, but I've been in that league since 1999 (and the league dates even further back, to like the late-80s). The player on my current roster that I've held the longest would be Rodgers (drafted him as a rookie in 2005), and second-longest would be LeSean McCoy (traded for him...

Re: Hindsight: Your Best and Worst Draft Picks Ever

Fifteen years of drafts for the team in my sig, I'm sure I can find some gems... WORST 2001 1.11: Freddie Mitchell, WR PHI -- 1200 yards and 5 TDs across four seasons. "FredEx" had a huge mouth and never delivered. 2003 1.01: Onterrio Smith, RB MIN -- 1100 yards and 7 TDs before his garbag...

Re: Zeke vs. The Field

I could definitely see two players being worth more than Zeke. I'd expect that to happen. Its a crap shoot. I mean, obviously if you grab Evans+OBJ they FAR out weigh Watkins. But what if you grab Sankey+Matthews?? You probably arent too happy about that Amari Cooper was #1 on my board last year, i...

Re: Questions for dynasty owners

1. What is the longest that you have kept a rookie that you drafted, who and how long? Drafted players on active roster: Rodgers (11 years), Kelce (3 years), Gurley (1 year), Cooper (1 year). In the past, I had Jonathan Stewart for 6 years and Adrian Peterson for 5 years. * Our league also has a ta...

Re: Do players fix their faults?

Limiting this to rookies/prospects, because I think veterans after a certain number of years in the league don't change (except with age)... Instincts rarely improve (gap recognition, vision, decisiveness, etc). Agility rarely improves (hips, ankle flexion, etc). Stone hands rarely improve. Technic...

Re: Orleans Darkwa

@ninotores- Williams did not look good, but you're judgement is pre-mature. To write any rookie off as a busted pick is pre-mature. NOT comparing the career trajectories at all, but as an example: Brandon Marshall had 20 receptions in 15 GP his rookie year. The next year he had 102......Alshon Jeff...

"You just want to veto because you're jealous"

This thread in the team advice forum clarified my thoughts on why I really hate this argument, so I wanted to write them up separately in the general forum. When someone comes into the forums suggesting that a trade is so bad it should be vetoed, one of the most common responses is "you're jus...

Re: how bad is this trade???

since no context was given, I'll assume that both owners got what they wanted. Oh, damn!

Re: Draft

Rank 5 players between 1 through 5. Then draft based on rankings/value, not need. I would agree, with the amendment that I always do tiers. I'll never draft a lower tier player due to need, but I might draft a same-tier player over another for need. For example, at #1, I have Gurley and Cooper so c...

Re: Veto's / Trade Review Problem

That's not how you should play fantasy football. Given their mindset, there really is no answer to this solution other than have it commissioner only or just have the inmates run the asylum and you're at their mercy. Pretty much this. Given it's basically a friends-league I would try to find a reso...

Re: Amari Cooper trade

I would rather keep Cooper. Yeah, I think I might too. But I think it's a fair haul. Yeah, I just think the deal pretty much hinges on DGB turning into a high-end WR2 or WR1 and that's a bet i'm not sure I want to take. x2. It's one of those "fair offer, but I'm just not interested" kind ...

Re: McKinnon vs Riddick

FF already gave plenty of good detail, so I'll simple add that it's McKinnon and it's not close for me.
