Would you trade Russell Wilson right now? Also does anyone have a good chicken thigh recipe?

Do you have any openings in your league? Dumping Dez is not smart, IMO. He'll get snatched up instantly. But good luck with that decision. By the way, all bench guys do "nothing". But, neither here nor there.

How does cutting Dez Bryant apply to the "he who hesitates is lost" rule? Cutting him is purely a rash decision. And trading him when he has almost no value? Hope it's part of a big multi player deal, because you won't get much for him now straight up. I'm keeping him on my bench and scouring the waiver wire for the players who emerge from nowhere to have great years, which happens every year.

I really don't see how anyone can speculate that it will definitely be more or less than 6 weeks. Nobody knows how fast his body can heal, so to panic because some doctor who didn't examine him said it will be 12 or 13 weeks is foolhardy.

Cmike. :facepalm:

I have the #1 overall pick in a 12 team redraft league, no keepers. 1 PPR. I am not interested in selecting the #1 ranked player on the board right now. I want to select the guy who will be the FF MVP at the end of the year. The #1 pick sucks in that every player has a downside. There are no more no-brainer #1 picks like Barry Sanders, Marshall Faulk, or Priest Holmes. So I want to find this year's Antonio Brown/Leveon Bell. Obviously it's an impossibility to figure it out for sure. But I think it's an interesting discussion. Brown and Bell's downsides (other than Bell's suspension) are the fact NFL defenses adapt. Rarely do dominant offenses stay dominant in this league, unless they continuously evolve. Charles? Can he stay healthy? I like the addition of Maclin in that offense to open things up a bit. Kelce's only gonna get better, too. The guy I have my eye on now is Odell Beckham. I know he's touted highly by FFT. Not much changed in the offseason, and his upside may have not been reached yet. The addition of a (potentially) healthy Cruz might help him, too. Right now, I'm leaning toward picking the safe Antonio Brown. But I'm not enthralled with the pick.

Best Player Available.

Again, I'm not depending on last year's stats. The previous year's stats should have some bearing upon the decision on who to draft, but it shouldn't be the be-all-end-all. This is Lacy's third year in the league and I don't think we've seen his ceiling yet. He has factored more into the passing game each year he's been in the league (all of 2, albeit), and caught 4 TDs last year. Maybe Nelson's injury gives him more opportunity to catch the ball, maybe not. I see him continuing to trend upward and like I said, his floor is pretty high.

Hell no. I'm a Lion fan and am excited by Zenner, but right now he's 4th on the RB depth chart. Unless they trade Bell or Riddick or if someone gets hurt, I don't see Zenner getting many carries at all in the regular season.

Alright, I've made my decision. I'll be drafting Eddie Lacy first overall in my draft tonight. Stellar offense, big drop-off in talent to his backup, pass catcher, consistently top-tier. He's a safe pick, which I want with the #1, but also has the potential to dominate the league. I think his floor is RB5, and his ceiling is RB1. Thanks for hearing me out.

Nothing wrong with adjusting on the fly for BPA.

Zenner ran with the first team offense in the third preseason game, fwiw.

Do we seriously want to continue to mine articles looking for RB or FB next to Zenner's name? Because I'd win. He's a RB. That's how they're using him and it's how he runs. Detroit drafted an actual FB in the 5th round this year, by the name of Michael Burton. Looks like he'll win the starting job, although he's getting pressured by Emil Igwenagu. Zenner has not once lined up as a blocking back thus far in the preseason. I've watched every down of every game. Don't draft Zenner because he's white, or because he's low on the depth chart, or even because he might not even make the team, but not because he's a FB. Because he's not a FB.

No he's not.

Thanks for the input. Certainly something to consider.

Didn't seem obvious to me, but I don't hang out here.

Why? Interesting thought, but I can't in actuality draft him #1 overall. With his ADP, I could theoretically get him in the second, though.

I can't believe no one pointed it out before this.

The only thing that seems "sure" is the fact the #1 ADP player will not be the best player in fantasy football. That's why I'm trying to make my best guess. There are 22 picks between my first and second picks. I want my #1 overall to really count.

Defenses are utterly impossible to rank outside of the top 2 or 3. I just grab one in the last round and keep my eye on the free agents. Usually by week 4 a top 5 defense is available.

Who has the least amount of barriers to becoming the fantasy MVP, in other words. CJ Anderson clearly has a stable behind him and I find it hard to believe Denver with give him the amount of carries it takes to be dominant. Looking back, fantasy MVPs (completely subjective, I know) were not drafted first overall. 2014: MVP Bell/Brown, #1 ADP McCoy 2013: MVP Charles, #1 ADP Peterson 2012: MVP Peterson/Manning, #1 ADP Foster 2011: MVP Rice, #1 ADP Peterson

I'm a life long Lions fan, and the latest success has me more excited than ever to be one. That said, counting preseason wins is incredibly lame.

After one week in which he didn't suit up? Savvy.

I'm teekizzy. Rosendouche, I'm not sure if this one's gonna work out. She seems to lack the ability to read screen names.
