Looking for any advice here. Brand new league and the commissioner wants to see crazy high scores. (Two Quarterbacks!) 1 QB 1 RB 1 WR 1 TE 1 K 1 Def 1 FLEX (QB, WR, RB) 1 FLEX (WR, RB, TE) 6 Bench 1pt PPR, 0.3 per rush attempt, 6pt TD, 9pt Def TD Bonus' for every large play NFL.com would let him set-up. I plugged as much of it as I could into MyFFT and created some cheat sheets. Do I try to draft like normal and not grab a QB until the initial run is over? Say screw-it and 2 QBs somewhere in the first few rounds? Since I only have to start one RB take only one good one and load up on as may PPR WRs I can grab? So many questions about how to handle this!

Thanks for the advice. I think I came out of it alright, but any thoughts appreciated. Starters Bolded QB Ben Rothlesberger Tyrod Taylor RB Devonta Freeman, Matt Forte, Ameer Abdullah, Melvin Gordon, Jeremy Langford, DeMarco Murray WR Antonio Brown, Jarvis Landry, Stefon Diggs, Tyler Lockett, DeVante Parker TE Dwayne Allen Def Eages K Oops - I didn't draft one. I'll need to drop DeVante Parker and pick someone else up this Friday. Went a little heavy on RB, and I thought the draft was one round longer.

Martavis Bryant and Chris Ivory for Duke Johnson Jr and TJ Yeldon?? Both teams have losing records, but it's a 1-6 team giving up Bryant and Ivory. We just expanded the league to 12 teams and both these guys are new this year. I've seen uneven trades where both parties think they are getting a good deal. If it seems like just honest poor management you let it go, but I dont think you can justify this one. New team just throwing in the towel? Thoughts? Veto it? KIck the 1-6 team? Kick them both? Maybe its cause I dont know either guy very well, but this kind of pisses me off

I'm kind of siding with bls and iceman - you've got to do something, but I wouldnt want to give up AP. I'd want to keep your rb1 and try a different trade or pick someone off the ww and pray. 7-0 means you've got a little time to play around and still be in good shape to make the playoffs.

Update - how stupid is this? First to answer byrdmans question. Correct, yeldon was a part-time flex start and hasnt been in his line-up since week 5 and duke was never started. Now the stupid part. A few of us got together to watch early games. The 1-6 owner claims he was drunk yesterday and didnt mean to accept. ASKED THE COMMISH TO VETO. The commish stopped the trade, now 2 hours later its been proposed and accepted again. I'd walk away from this league except i'm currently winning.... argh...

How deep of a league is this? I'm not a fantasy expert by any stretch but for a 10 or 12 team league you look pretty thin everywhere. Given that most people way over-value their own players when it comes to trades... to get you a solid starting RB (like Forsett or Gore), I think you're best trade-bait is Big Ben. Maybe try to package him and Fleener for an RB an upgrade at TE and then do your best to stream and play match-ups for QB the rest of the season

I'm in 3 standard leagues . Two 10 team leagues, and one 12 team league. I have 13 players that are the same in at least two leagues (Julio Jones and Latavius Murray in all three). Pretty close, right? My record is (3-0), (1-2), and (1-2) I've only been playing a couple years, but wondering if anyone takes that into consideration? During drafts do you target different players in different leagues to increase your odds - For example, take Le'Veon Bell in League 1, even if he's still available take Jamaal Charles in League 2. (more diversity means one of your teams will outperform the others) Or, do you just build the best team you can and if that means they all look the same, so be it? Over-caffeinated morning and just curious.

The league says in a statement Friday that the office of the governor of Maryland "has assured us that based on the current forecast, playing the game would have no adverse effect on public safety" http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/eagles-redskins-game-will-kick-off-at-1-p-m-et-on-sunday-100215 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000547645/article/eaglesredskins-expected-to-take-place-as-planned I've been watching, but if the league isn't worried about the weather, neither am I. Starting both Jordan Reed and Jordan Matthews.

Personally, I would rather have Jeffrey. Once he's healthy and gets Cutler back he can put up some big numbers. With Hill, he'll be dealing with Gio and shared workload all year. Another way of looking at it, if Alshon is playing, he's in my line-up. With Hill I would want to look at the match-up and decide.

12 team standard scoring and this week should be close. I'm driving myself nuts going to different websites and chasing what the pundits are saying. Here is my roster with the starters I'm confident about bolded QB - Phillip Rivers Jameis Winston RB - Justin Forsett Latavius Murray Joseph Randle DeAngelo Williams LeVeon Bell Knile Davis WR - Julio Jones DeAndre Hopkins Jarvis Landry Charles Johnson Markus Wheaton Brandon Coleman TE - Vernon Davis D/ST - Panthers K - Mason Crosby Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

I'd start Williams and Williams. Terrence is an easy pick. DeAngelo had a great game last week, maybe he does it again. If you've got him on your roster when else are you going to start him after Bell gets back?

Start the Panthers

Forsett

I think I'd start Williams

I would bench Spiller...

Start your studs. What round did you draft Cobb? Yeah, start him.

You can't sit Hyde after the week he just had. Hyde and Abdullah.

Cobb and McCoy

I'd stick with Cobb. OBJ makes me nervous that he can put up those kinds of numbers again this year. Consistency would be the deciding factor for me.

I am in a 10 team non-ppr work league. The commissioner doesn't really want to be in charge, hates it when we complain, but we keep talking him into it because he does a good job. He set some new scoring rules that have skewed everything. Defensive scoring has gone nuts! Everyone's top scorer is their defense. I got 50 from Miami. That's more than the projected total for my combined RBs and WRs Everything looks pretty normal except for return yardage points and 1pt per 5 tackles. I can't really tell because even the ESPN full box score doesn't show where all of the points are coming from. Everyone is in the same boat, but I definitely would have drafted differently had I known 1/3 to half of the total points would come from defenses. Roll with it, drop some bench players and try to pick up a couple more defenses, or lead a revolt and see if we can get it changed? Thoughts?

Coin flip, but I like Julio a little bit better. My only concern is you jinxed me! Whenever I make a trade like this, the player I get is injured 2 weeks later. I have Julio on 3 teams....

Mixed bag of replies here. Yeah, the changes were pre-draft and while it wasn't pointed out, there was a notice on the league page that scoring was updated. I'm sure I looked and just didn't think it would have that big of an effect. I don't think the commish did either because he also didnt draft a defense until the 14th of 15 rounds. Very little money, mostly bragging rights. Unintended consequences, but I'm inclined to just roll with it now. It does look funny with all 10 teams having a Defense as their top scorer tho. Thanks for the replies - live and learn!

Alshion hasn't practiced in a month, and I don't think I can trust him week 1. Standard scoring non-PPR and I need to decide on a WR2 and Flex Already starting RB1 - Jamaal Charles RB2 - Latavius Murray WR1 - Julio Jones

Brown and Adams are great, of course you've got to love Rodgers at QB and I think Gore is solid week to week. Your challenge is going to be figuring out who to start at RB2 and FLEX each week. They'll all have their breakout games, just figuring out which ones....

Alright, not great. If Cj goes off you'll be fine, but personally I avoided him as a bust this year. Cobb and Cooks are awesome picks, but it looks like it drops off after that....
