  1. I now believe the whole thing is a well crafted Rosenhaus script to become unrestricted FA. 1) AB is locked into crappy deal with Pitt. No guanteed $ 2) Forces Pitt to trade. Oak gives $30 mil guaranteed, but still gets exclusive rights and discount. Real value is $70 mil guaranteed that Julio got today 3) continues crazy act with Oak. Gets total release 4) signs 1 year prove it deal with NE 5) assuming he ends crazy act and has solid year with NE, will sign huge Julio like deal in 2020 In doing this, he risks everything that no serious injury in 2019. WE ARE ALL BEING PLAYED

    Antonio Brown is World Class Con artist

    Honesty and Integrity are dead in this country. Politics, sports, business. It's every man for himself. What happened here just epitomizes where the country is right now.
  3. This guy is throwing up so many warning signs (new team, inferior QB, weaker team, frostbite?, crazy helmet issues) that I just frankly don't know what to think about this. Generally I plan to let him drop and have some other guy spend a high draft pick on him. However, the question is, how far does he fall before the risk turns into value? Clearly he is not a 1st round guy anymore. My gut tells me he will be taken in the 2nd round in most leagues, even with all this craziness- and I will pass on that. Is he value in the 3rd or late 3rd? I have to assume that he is a must draft in the 4th if he falls that far. I would be interested in what people think on this one.

    Melvin Gordon update

    So question here, does anyone know how much the Chargers offer to him was guaranteed? It's pretty much out there that they were offering $10mil average per year, and I agree that is where he belongs- above Freeman but below Gurley, Zeke, and Bell. But for this position, the guaranteed amount is more critical. Bell got $25 million guaranteed and Zeke got $50! If the Chargers guaranteed more than $20 million in addition to his 2019 current contract, then I agree, he was foolish to continue to hold out. Anyone know? Also, I know it's a negotiating tactic, but for the Chargers to lowball the contract offer, but then demand two #1 rounds for a trade- for that team to then have to pay him, is nuts. I heard Philly responded by offering a 4th round, and for the Chargers to pay part of Gordon's contract.... this reminds me of when someone offers me a ridiculous trade offer in Fantasy I respond back with something equally crazy.

    League Issue

    I agree with the consensus regarding voiding the deal unless he pays the 2019 fee. Now regarding the trade itself, assuming he pays or stays, Id let that through. Part of the idea of keeper leagues is that folks do trade the present for future. If owners believe its lopsided for 2018, the question to ask is who would give more of their 2019 picks in a better package offer? If theres not a better offer on the table, then its a fair trade.

    Doug Baldwin overreaction or common sense

    As a Baldwin owner in my keeper league I have been benching him all season. He is obviously injured and should probably be on IR. That being said, definitely bench for Lockett, but dont drop in 12 team leagues.
  7. Hey Dynasty/Keeper owners- I am in 2nd place in a competitive 12 team PPR league where we can keep up to 8 players a year. My team is: QB Cam, Trubisky, RB: Gordon, Cohen, Tevin Coleman, Crowell, Devonta Freeman (IR); WR Julio Jones, Thielen, Baldwin, Funchess, Lockett; TE: OJ Howard; It is an especially stacked team that has taken me years to build. The Sony Michel owner is in last place and can not make the playoffs this year; the offer on the table: I trade Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman, my 10th round pick next year for Sony Michel and his 15th round pick. Should I do it?
  8. I know for this season that Devonta Freeman is basically done for Fantasy purposes, but in dynasty leagues, what do you see happening? Is he being traded for draft picks or lower tier players? I would assume that he is not being outright dropped in Keeper/dynasty leagues, but I guess that would depend on roster size and IR rules for individual leagues, but I would be interested to hear. For 2019, Tevin Coleman is a FA, and given that he has not stepped up, my assumption is that Atlanta does not sign him to big money. Thoughts?

    Fitzmagic past week 4?

    Fitz-reality. Winston will start week 6.
  10. The bottom line is the NFL is a business and ideally wants liberals and conservatives $. Look at how heated a debate we have just on this message board. If it was your business, would you consider a player that would alienate such a proportion of your fan base?

    Fitzmagic past week 4?

    Fitz will be 36 in Nov. He is not going to be a long term solution. Winston may not either, but TB has a strong incentive to give him a chance to be the guy since if hes not theyre in the QB wilderness

    Fitzmagic past week 4?

    Well, Winston is the future of this team, so you have to assume Fitz on short leash. If Bears win, and they are favored to do so, then it is certain Winston starts week 6. I like Fitz, and he has his moments. But lets be real- If he really was this good he would be a Franchise QB for someone at this point.

    What you learned from your draft

    In all of my drafts, players with suspensions are being overly penalized. In one draft I got Mark Ingram in the 8th; Aaron Jones going about round 15, Edelman round 12; I picked up Winston as my backup QB in round 16. Absolutely the suspensions need to be factored in, but this is value!

    Guice Torn ACL per Schefter

    So, for Dynasty League players, what do you see as Guice's realistic value? I saw someone traded him for a 1st round next year which I don't see happening in most leagues... Is he worth drafting and using the IR spot? What is the possibility of Guice being a decent RB 2 coming back from ACL surgery in 2019?
  15. So, Bell just turned down a 5 year guaranteed $33 million deal, with incentives that could make it worth up o $70 million. I think he is insane. I get that he is amazing.... I get that he may have a stellar year, but the market for aging RBs is not good- and even if he puts up a career year, I would question whether he gets a better deal in free agency. Just look at what has happened in MLB with the market for veteran players- I just see him getting pennies on the dollar because of his age and position. I really like the guy and would love to draft him for FANTASY purposes this year, but I would be interested to hear if there are folks out there that disagree with me and think he can get a bigger payday than this $33-70 million dollar offer he rejected. Thoughts?
  16. I noticed someone mentioned Atlanta D being taken way too early. Same thing happened in our league- 9th round though.... but still they were first D taken and I did t even have them on my D list. Any ideas?
  17. IMHO the overriding factor on where Zeke goes in your league is how many teams go to the playoffs. I see him going in mocks anywhere from mid 1st to late 3rd. I'm in 2 leagues... in one, we have 8/12 go. In that case, I see him as a late 1st round option. Assuming you make it, which is likely, you're gettting him at a discount. In my other league with top 6- and 2 teams get byes- I see him as almost undraftable. Thoughts?

    If Blount is cut?

    Who is starter in philly? Sproles, Smallwood?
  19. I will not draft McCoy, or any RB over the age of 30 in the first round. Personal rule thatt has generally worked for me.

    Is it just me or does Julio Jones worry you?

    So I have him in my dynasty league and he has paid off. That being said, in my redraft league I am a seller in the mid 1st rnd and a buyer in the late 1st. Agree with all of the posts about him being a better value than risky RB like Gordon and McCoy, and I also don't see AJ Green as a better alternative. However, in the mid 1st, I like devonta, demarco, Jordy Nelson, Mike Evans, ODB better.... I just think there's more upside with them.
  21. I have to say that I've reached a point where I can no longer stomach the disbelief in Doug Baldwin. Last year he was a top WR, and he was THE TOP WR for the last half of the season. However, I get it, it was a career year, and there were reasonable expectations that there would be a fall back to Earth. But, now we're 3 weeks into the new season and he he's the #6 overall for WRs, and every site has him ranked outside the top 12. What does the guy have to do to get some Fantasy respect?
  22. 12 Team League, 1 QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex, K, Def. PPR; heavy QB scoring (6pts per TD). We can keep 8, and we lose 1 round per per pick; typically teams keep 4-6 players, but I know there are 2 rebuilding teams this year keeping 0. My team: Cam Newton, Devonta Freeman, Rawls, Melvin Gordon, TJ Yeldon, Julio Jones, Doug Baldwin, Jordy Nelson, Tyler Lockett, D. GreenBechma, Delanie Walker It's a pretty kickass team that won big for me last year, and I would gladly keep the whole team if I could. Bottom line, I'm definitely keeping Cam, Devonta, Rawls, Julio, Jordy Nelson- that's 5. For my remaining 3, I have to choose from Lockett, Baldwin, Delanie, and Melvin Gordon. I'm leaning toward not keeping Delanie Walker from that group. Please let me know what you think, I will answer yours.

    Keep 1 Wr..

    It's hard to answer without the specifics of your year to year keeper system. In general I would keep Gordon because I think he has more long term upside. Please see mine: http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=456267

    Chris Ivory to the Jaguars

    So, I am a Yeldon owner in semi dynasty league (we keep 8). I'm not in denial, but I've moved on to the next phase- Anger! Honestly, he is a great athlete and had a good rookie year. They were planning on giving him 3rd down carries and I had some high expectations. To be honest, I just don't get it... the Jags have so many holes to fill that I would think this would be towards the bottom. Spending $6 million on RB when you have 2 solid guys already (Yeldon and Robinson) and where you basically don't have a defense is just mind boggling. That being said, I am not in denial. They are paying for Ivory to be the lead back, and Yeldon's best case is RBBC, or hoping for injury. On the upside here for me, I have Bilal Powel who I was not planning to keep. Assuming he ends up with Ivory's role on the Jets, I'll keep him as one of my 8 and drop Yeldon. Bummer.
  25. So I am very biased here as Baldwin basically won me a championship this year. I get that he is a FA, and that also he has never performed like this in his career. However, I'm seeing a bunch of sites with early projections as him being the 40-50 WR... So like not in the first 10 rounds. I think that is a bit harsh. Where do you folks see him going in redraft leagues in 16?
