How do you guys see the off/def dichotomy to start the season? Usually defenses start faster than their offensive counterparts. I'm just not so sure with limited practices and tackling leading into the season.

Hard to say. But i think we will see more injuries than ever before. The injuries are going to be hard to deal with this year

Atleast Marshall had like 8 good years before that fitzpatrick year.

I took OJ Howard over Derrick Henry last year because of like 7 good games with Fitzpatrick. After that, I said never again with the Fitzmagic chase.

Thats brutal. And here i am on devante parker this year. Hopefully tua is good

I'd just assume it favors continuity so try to favor teams that don't have new coaches/continuity issues.

Probably favors D, think you mostly gotta draft who you like though and avoid a lot of that noise. Obviously this year has potential to be a giant mess in a lot of ways.

Best o line. Colts, cowboys, saints, ravens, packers

I'd add Steelers/Browns/Raiders to this...49ers as well since Juzcyk (sp) and Kittle basically give them 7 OL on running plays.

Most of the bad teams have bad OLs (I think this is kinda stupid how OL's get ranked, obviously some of the reason the Skins or Dolphins or Bengals OL sucked last year is because their entire offenses sucked) but 2 actual solid to good offenses that are good and have horrible OLs are Seattle/Rams.

In a smart league Hopkins might be there. Its insane that he's going early second or even late first. WR on new teams have a bad track record and no preseason. Hes going before Julio in a lot of drafts which is just silly.

That offense will feature a ton of passes to the rbs and there is a lot of spreading the ball around to receivers. They have 4 or 5 wrs who will get targets. Plus they will run quite a bit and kyler will get his scrambling. Its just not an offense that feeds the WR1 a 17 times a game like big ben did AB or watson to nuke

Hopkins is one of the riskiest top 15 picks i am seeing this year if the not THE riskiest

Totally agree...outside of Kyler, Kenyon Drake is the best fantasy option he should have a monster year if stay healthy

Need fantasy keeper help here. 10 team league and I pick 9th. snake draft

We can keep 2 players.

Here are my options:

Mahomes- 6th rd (i have to)
Godwin- 4th rd (i have him as a top 5 WR)
Chubb- 5th rd (i dont like him much)
Drake- 7th round

this is a .5 PPR league and we start 3 WR 1 RB and a flex

If i go Mahomes and Godwin, I plan on drafting WR at 9 and 12 and have a stud QB and 3 top 15 WR

I can grab a RB later

If i Go Mahomes and Drake, then i have my 13 RB on the board as a 7th rounder and I can use Drake as the 69th pick in the draft rather than the 32nd for Godwin.

Thoughts?

I would have to defer to someone with keeper league experience. Have never done a dynasty league. Like to start fresh each year. Seems like you have some really good options though

I was asked to join a keeper league this year but the team i would have inhereted was terrible. He had lesean mccoy, obj, ingram on contract. Awful

The previous owner of the team probably died just to avoid playing with that roster again

I've been playing Fantasy F for 34 years now. We wrote our own rules. That's how long ago we started. But it's a complete redraw every year.

Like JC, I have no experience with a keeper league. Honestly, I also have been invited into those leagues but have no interest. I would think that guys could get lucky and dominate the league before the season ever starts. That's no fun.

Good luck, Knightro.

Keepers are a different way to play fantasy.

Been doing a keeper league for almost 20 years from now with the same core of guys from college (we've lost a few and added a few over the years).

In our league, you can keep a guy for up to 2 years. We also trade future draft picks. So if my team sucks, i may trade you a stud running back and you'll give me your 2nd rd pick next year. That way you wont see and BS trades (kinda like trades at the MLB deadline. Trading present for future).

2 years ago I had drafted Stafford as my QB and some unknown named Mahones in the 12th or 13th rd to be my backup. Stafford was a dud in week 1 and Mahomes went off. Mahomes had started the rest of the year.

The cool thing about a keeper league is that i was able to keep him last year and this year as well.

My buddy drafted Lamar Jackson late last year. So Lamar is a 7th rounder.

So in our draft this year, Mahomes is a 6th rounder and Lamar is a 7th rounder.

We have made up a bunch of odd rules over the years but it keeps it fun.

Funny thing is when we started this league, we played for like $50 a team and we SPENT hours a week working on our teams and sending numerous trash talking posts. Now we play for $125 a team and i dont think anyone spends more than 30 min a week on their team. And no trash talking either which sucks

Dede westbrook listed as a 4th string wr. That's a whiff in both my leagues.

My biggest question that I'm interested in besides how 2.09 works itself out is will DJohnson be there at 4.09.

His ADP seems to be around 50 and that is pick 45 so seems like a favorite to be. I think the guy just fucked everyone that plays FF over in 1 way or another the last 3 years but that's clearly like 15 picks too late to me.

He went 4.05 and 4.08 in mine

Personally want to no part of him this year, i will let someone else take that leap of faith

Looking back at my draft


Wondering if i should have gone Evans instead of Moore. DJ moore just does not feel like a WR1 but hopefully he can be a ppr machine with teddy b
