I feel a perfect storm brewing in N.O

[tanatastic 2,062]

I feel it in the air for the saints...Last year without payton it was just off, brees still had a monster season but things just werent the same. We have Graham in a contract year, heathy and the coaching staff back together, I feel a record season for both brees and Graham. Like 45tds minimum for Brees. Now im an adamanty rb rb guy, and this is the worst year to wait on rbs i can remember, but if im at 12 and brees-graham is staring at me, im going to pause for a sec. Anybody take both these guys in their draft?

I fell for the Graham love last year, I will never again take a TE before round 5 (and probably not even then) it just isn't worth it. Everything has to break perfectly for it to work out.

 

Brees I adore but I just think there is a ton of value at QB this year so I would rather load up on RB's or a top 5ishWR early. I dont have him on any of my squads yet he just seems to cost too much.

 

It was only preseason but their defense looks much improved, not sure that is actually beneficial for FF with a team with so many good RB's.

Yea thats the problem, graham id prob never get but brees has a real advantage at qb over the other even in a deep pool. He is the only qb id consider in rnd 2, otherwise im waiting til rnd 5-6 and getting Ryan/Cam/staff.

Took Brees in the mid third rd and was thrilled, I'll never end up with Graham because I don't take TE's that early. I do, however, have Sproles pared with Brees, those dump offs and screens could work well for me!

Oh wow, if I got first pick and saw Brees at the turn id dance a jig.

Take a look at Ingram on this 29 yard screen pass. I really think he's way more talented and versatile than he's shown so far and has a chance to emerge into weekly flex territory at least.

Tan, could not have said it better if I tried.

If graham makes it to 3rd round ill be tempted

[snatchit 108]

some projections have graham 100 pts more than the next guy in ppr

[Turcaso 1]

Brees at 3.08 in 12 team ppr........gonna enjoy that Saints O this year

[Yer mom 2]

I've been hollering this for some time, now even more-so with Will Smith out for the year and a few other D-players injured. They'll be giving up ridiculous points on D, my numbers for Jimmy are staggering, I took him in the 2nd everywhere.

 

"Jimmy's got a backer!"

no .you need a rb somewhere in that top two picks imo

[Maulers1973 117]

Brees is going to be a production beast this year! He is my primary target in my auction draft this weekend.

[unclemercy 53]

traded julio for graham in my ppr keeper for whatever thats worth. sure contracts were expiring for both but i feel i got good value there.

[nadnewob 1]

I totally agree. In my main league I took Graham at 24, and Brees at 25.

Can anyone explain to me why Hartley is ranked so low this year? This is the most explosive offense in the league, he should get plenty of chances. Sure, they score a bunch of TDs, but still should get plenty of opportunities, and kicks in a dome. Thoughts?

[Perennial Contender 18]

5200 and 45

[tanatastic 2,062]

5200 and 45

Could be more but that's about right. I honestly feel like last year was a floor for brees in the offense and with Payton back it only will be better.

Don't pay attention to kicker rankings. Just get tucker, he's the best K in the league already. Or anyone really, doesn't matter.
