I can certainly see why it was controversial. There are some conclusions there that I'm not sure are supported by the data.

Re: Auction Advice

Use others prices as a guideline to set up your own prices on the max you will pay for them. Then don't go over that max. Make an amount that you want to spend on each position as a guideline during the draft. I like to sit back while everyone over spends at the beginning and pick off certain guys ...

Re: Devalued QB Scoring Rant

No. I get it with yardage. Why do you get it for yardage but not for TD's? Because it's different. Would be the simple answer. Think about it-- QBs routinely pass for over 250 yards and in some cases over 300 yards a game-- their yardage would actually double and triple other positions. There isn't...

Re: Auction Advice

There are ALWAYS bargains at the end of drafts. Try to remember that and retain some cash. There are always some guys who go for $1 that are similar to guys who went for $10 earlier. Prices drop steep and fast.

Re: DLF Obsessions; Britt and Vereen

I think Vereen is going to be a nice flex play this year, so I agree with the "hype" to an extent - the problem is some people have him as basically a #2 RB. I get off the bus before then. It's funny though, I think the Vereen backlash is at least in part due to people trying to go out and...

Re: Devalued QB Scoring Rant

To quote a great Conservative wit "I don't want to get off on a rant here--" but it drives me crazy how people devalue the QB's role on this board and in this game. People talking about taking Aaron Rodgers in the 3rd round of start ups because QB is so deep and there's such a small diffe...

Re: A series of fortunate events...

I move down in the 8th, but did not give it up completely: My Team gave up Year 2013 Draft Pick 8.03;Year 2013 Draft Pick 13.10 Other Team gave up Year 2013 Draft Pick 8.10;Year 2013 Draft Pick 12.04 I took Vereen at 8.10. I used 12.04 to move up three spots to snag Tannehill in the 11th, who I was ...

Startup: What is your window?

I'm just curious to hear different philosophies as it applies to dynasty startup drafts. What kind of window do you build your team for? Personally, I rarely bother to think about anything beyond 3 years. In the NFL, that is pretty much a lifetime for most players. That doesn't mean you can't take a...

Re: Value of S. Smith?

Fair offer, but as others have said, if you're using him as a starter this year and don't have a clear alternative, probably worth more to you than he is on the open market.

Re: A series of fortunate events...

I had a recent startup too. Since the OP put his team out there for everyone to see and (apparently) destroy, seems only fair that I do the same as someone who commented on his team. This was in the Dynasty Football World Championship startup, 12 team PPR, 1/2/3/1/1/1 + 2 FL. It's probably not my be...

Re: Dynasty Startup Advice

Taking AJ Green doesn't help account for the lack of depth at RB. In a "normal" league, Graham would be there at 2.03, so you could go McCoy (or a similar RB) and Graham in the 1st/2nd. If you know you have to take Graham at 1.08 to get him, then you just have to take a look at who is goin...

Re: 2QB dynasty startup draft...how early to go QB?

Yep, 2QB makes all the difference in the world. In a 1QB league I wouldn't consider Rodgers until the 3rd round. In a 2QB league, I wouldn't consider anyone else at 1.01. in a 1 QB league you wouldn't consider Aaron Rodgers until the 3rd round? Really? Wow. I still consider him at 1.1 and definitel...
