Yeldon just has always struck me as a guy everyone says is supremely talented but then you watch him and he's pretty meh. he's not bad but is he talented enough to shine on a bad team? Idk


We will see...they seem anxious to unleash him.

Overview:

Your receivers are the strongest part of this team. It's rare for us to endorse a team with weaknesses at quarterback and running back, but we're doing it right here! You should have a contender here. But your margin for error in terms of inseason management could be a bit thinner than some of your competitors'. You must remain committed to finding 2015's emergent players at RB and QB.

Players we particularly like on this team include Danny Woodhead, Roy Helu, DeAndre Hopkins, Larry Fitzgerald, and Tyler Eifert. We have all these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.

Bottom line:
With great inseason management, we think you have about a 90 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With good inseason management, we think you have about a 85 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With average inseason management, we think you have a 74 percent chance of making the playoffs.


Hmmmm where have I read this before?

I don't I've ever seen that thing tell a person they won't make the playoffs


Dodds hated my team, I just sent it in to be rated and he told me at best I have 55% chance for the playoffs.

is that bad?

I thought most people get 70,80, and 90% chances

I went more unconventional at WR, at least with my approach. I was going to take Antonio Brown with my first pick but you got him.

I'm sure people think I reached on Davante Adams and Martavis Bryant but I just couldn't shake the urgency to pick them. I'm just real intrigued by the upside from both of them.

I wasn't even looking at the draft board when I picked Adams... I couldn't at the time. But I'm glad I was able to get him.

Who's doing the team rankings this year? They've been awesome every other year. Year 1 and 2, my team was ranked 11th or 12th and I won the league both years. Last year, I think I was ranked 3rd and I missed the playoffs.

i got some rankings for yall to bash. be back in a few hours.

Some quick thoughts after a first look and not putting any stats into a spreadsheet
My Ranks

12. 21
An old Forte, a Shady in Buffalo with fred jackson still around doesn't excite me at the RB. Tate with Megatron healthy -nope. I almost drafted Peyton but i feel his arm is done. My favorite player on this squad is Bennett

11. CE
On paper I just can't get excited about my squad. DT88,Jordy, Kelce highlight. Lamar is a solid 10pts and I need the hype for Hyde to be real. Im actually big on Bridgewater this year but I can't rank a team with this QB combo anywhere other than the bottom

10. TTT
He stole lacy at 8 but the rest of the team doesn't excite me. Gonna need Andrew Luck to keep him in it each week, which he probably will as the #1 QB but relying on Jordan Mathhews and Andre I see this as a team that could be #1 one week or in the 10 spot the others

9. OG Money
When you go QB early you need to hit on guys the rest of the draft. Getting ALF Maclin and VJax ain't doing that.

8.LE
He got the best fantasy player in the league with Bell but hes also suspended. Murray is gonna bust hard in Philly. Marshall and Watkins is about as exciting as LaFell and Colston so the 4 of them will be serviceable (i guess). Wilson needs to run like a RB2 in order to make the leap to the elite qbs that is being projected.

7. LC
Peterson and Hill are a great duo. Will sanders be the WR he was with a Peyton in a Kubiak offense.

6. Port
Beckham at 2!!!! His finish last year was insane and lets see if he can continue that. Alshon in the man in Chi. I just don’t like the RBs. Forsett is solid but Joique and Yeldon may be duds. Big Bens got a tough schedule but he will still get his thanks to brown and bell

5. MWG
Julio, Gronk, Cooks – those 3 should have him in the hunt each week. If Murray runs like he did before the concussion knocked him out of games and Randle can eat behind the Dallas O line then MWG is set.

4. BHam
Dez, Foster, Benjamin – not sure about having Olsen as well but I get BHam has Cams targets on lockdown. Juice is gonna be another ppr beast in year 2.

3. Gyno
Can megatron stay healthy? Will CJ Anderson stay the lead back in the Bronco RB caroussel? Do they throw the ball enough in Seattle for Graham to be the #2 TE? Lots of questions and then you got Gore and Gio as your RBs. Love me some Allen Robinson though

2. BilJ
Brown and Green are enough to get him in this spot. A healthy red jesus and stewart and BilJ is unstoppable. Health will be a big factor

1. Dro
This year is probably one of the best to get a top pick and Dro took advantage. Charles,Cobb, Evans, Brees. Vereen should do his ppr thing with the giants and if Gurley lives up to the hype then Dros team is scary

i think i have BilJ too high , may revise them tonight when I get more time

The draft results are done and the waiver order is set.

G$ and LC, I had Stevie Johnson on G$'s team so I added Hillman to LCs team and did a trade.

Look through your rosters and make sure it's all correct.

Im going to throw some out. Hard to judge in July, but this is how I see it.


1. BigJ- 1st 3 picks were WRs, and I think all 3 will finish in the top 10. Being a PPR league, that gives him a huge boost. I think his RBs are just OK, but I think 1 or 2 of those top 4 will prove to be serviceable. Matt Ryan at QB should be steady. TE's have upside.

2. Gyno- just preference, but i still hold Calvin in high regard. Anderson and Gore might be top 10 backs; really like Gore in indy this year. Jimmy Graham should hit double digit TDs, and Allen Robinson will be going 2 rounds higher in about a month. The Cowboys are bound to throw more, thus upping Romo's stock.

3. Lester- I know Murray will regress some, because he won't carry it 400x again. And Bell is suspended, but i still like where I sit. Championships are won at the end of the season! CJ Spiller should get a ton of balls, and i think Marshall is a top 20 WR. I think I can find another top 20 WR out of the other guys I have. Russell Wilson was 3 points away from being QB4 overall last year. I don't think he'll run as much, but Graham should help his numbers stay up via the pass.

4. Dro- Cleaned up in the 2nd & 3rd with Cobb and Evans, and I think Charles regains top form. Not as high on Brees this year, but he'll still get his. Gurley is the key to this team, if comes to full health, should be ROY favorite.

5. 21 JUmp frick dude loves him some rookies. I liked the pace he was on until he picked Melvin Gordon. Not that I think he'll be bad, but his WR really suffered. I like Golden Tate but more of a WR2. Then took 2 more rookie WR. Anquan Boldin really saved your WR in the 10th, because he'll prob end up being your WR2.

6. TTT- Yea the Luck looks like a little reach, but if he throws 40TDs again you won't be sour. Lacy is a bellcow and Jordan Matthews & AJ80 are both top 20 WRs by my calculations. Chris Ivory & Delanie Walker were sneaky picks that I like later in the draft.

7. Port- ODB was a reach at 2 in my eyes, but I wondering what type of finish will justify it? Im thinking top 5 finish, which i don't see. But could be close. Alshon is a safe pick, as he is the only big mouth to feed in Chi. Forsett should get the dump offs Forte had. As you can see, i don't like rookies, so I'm lukewarm on Yeldon. I have a good feeling about Julius Thomas this year too.

8. CE- Jordy and DT88 are 2 of the most underrated WR each year. Great start to the draft for you. Like, don't love, Lamar Miller. Not my ideal RB1. Hyde's best case is a lot of goaline TDs, imo, i just don't like that team at all. Kelce, John Brown, Perriman and Duke Johnson are some guys i think outperform their draft spot big time.

9. MWG- there's a chance he could have the top WR and TE. I wouldn't be shocked if Cooks caught 100 balls. Desean, Roddy, and Charles Johnson, i really like his WR as a whole. I know Latavius Murray is a freak, but like some guys i mentioned earlier, i hate that offense he is in. Maybe he can transcend that. Joseph Randle, I just don't know. Sam Bradford could be huge in that offense, or could be terrible. I just don't know. But this team has some upside.

10. BHam- Love Dez and Arian, but some of the other guys, I just feel that they are too inconsistent. Kelvin Benjamin, Mark Ingram, Doug Martin, DFadden. I like how you slipped in and nabbed Brady in the 10th, that was nice.

11. LooseCannon- Peterson and Hill should be a grey 1-2 punch. Emmauel Sanders, i see a slight down tick. I thought Cam Newton was the reach of the draft. My biggest problem with this team is there are some questions on how much production he can get out of Matavis Bryant, Davante Adams, Juliand Edelman to a smaller extent. Could still be a good team though, Just some questions for me.

12. OG Money- I don't hate you, nor do i think your team is that bad. But....will Lynch finally drop off? lol ,just kidding. Im not going to say that this year. We'll wait and see. Ive posted about my thoughts on TY Hilton this year. Maclin is a good WR, but i hate that offense for him. Aflie Morris limited because he doesn't catch balls. I can't see many of the guys late in the draft making any impact.

Pretty much my goal with every pick I made, minus the Roddy White pick. Went stability. Should have taken Tevin Coleman.

100% agree with this. I was hoping him or colston came to me. Nelson Agholor has alot of upside in that offense though.
