So points allowed/yards allowed/special team yards/interceptions/sacks/3 and outs etc Most people who don't get a top 5 who WILl be top 5 all year stream a D/ST based on match up.

sexbelowsound Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Sweet. I'm getting to grips with it. I just don't want to go into the draft and go "Ah, it's my turn now, this guy is the highest ranked available, i'll take him". I actually want to have favoured picks and know why I'm choosing them.

StefanAVFC Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Yeah some of the highest favoured last year were dreadful. Mostly RB's too. Looking at you Jamaal Charles (ACL), Jeremy Hill (just bad) Eddie Lacy and CJ Anderson! My first round pick was suspended for 2 games, then did his MCL in like week 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 You still need to have 2 RB's by the end of the 3rd round though IMO. Especially with our format. Although some will take WR's in the 1st round (cough abdomlahor cough) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is for people playing in PPR leagues which i've recently learned we aren't...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Yeah. In PPR leagues, IIRC you don't get points per carry so WR's are more valuable. Honestly, my quick guide would be. Draft RB's early. QB's aren't as important as you'd think (streaming is viable. I did most season once I lost Romo) WR's can be absolute point horses or a total point drain. D/ST on a good match up can win you games singlehandedly. Or vice versa. Kickers are worthless. Don't use a tight end in W/T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at you CJ Anderson! Took CJ in the first, then Demaryius in the 2nd (Who supposedly had a bad year), Jimmy Graham in the 3rd. Still got to the championship, through late round picks, trades and waiver wire. There's a lot more to winning fantasy than just drafting well. Although it helps obviously.

sexbelowsound Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Question. When it says things like.... Quote Rushing Yards 10 yards per point; 5 points at 100 yards; 5 points at 150 yards; 10 points at 200 yards Does that mean if my player rushes 100 yards he gets 10 points (1 per every 10 yards) plus 5 on top for reaching the 100 yard total?

Also, we don't do decimal points (anybody want to change that for this year?), so 99 yards rushing = 9 points. 100 yards rushing = 15 points (10 for 100 + 5 for bonus). Bonuses are added together as well, so if your player gets 200 for example, he will get all 3 bonuses equalling 20 points, not just the 10 for 200. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
