Slow and steady wins the race. 5 players that won me my league last year.

My 5 picks for a consistent fantasy team that won't wow you but will definitely win you some games.
1) Frank Gore- everyone slept on him last year while I happily drafted him in the 6th round. Don't be scared to get the 34 year old starter who has done nothing but produce his entire career!
2) E Sanders- he was dinged up a bit, and had a slow start; but don't let that fool you when you are staring at him in the mid rounds. He can give you a goose egg some weeks; but his average weekly points scored will satisfy you if you are patient.
3) Jason Witten- another older vet who continues to produce year in and year out. With another year of Dak maturing in the Dallas offense; I expect similar numbers to 2016. Nothing wrong with waiting on the TE, while everyone else spends more for more for the sexier and younger picks.
4) Kenny Britt- I've been a fan of Britt since he was a Titan. He may be one of the more physically gifted WRs in the league. He's had some problems off the field, but looks to be a "shoe in" to match last year's numbers (D Thomas and T Pryor) since signing with the Browns. His ADP is at FIFTY among WRs, there is no risk drafting him late in the draft. He has missed one game, I think, in 3 years. Durable since blowing out his knee.
5) Larry Fitz- again, this guy will make you happy with how late you draft him. He may even confuse you some weeks as you consider matchups with other players on your team. But he will basically never go catchless or give you a goose egg. He is the true definition of consistency. And like Gore; has been doing it for years.
These are 5 guys that I will again target this year. 5 guys that helped me win a championship last year. Add in a freak like Blount (whom people on this board told me last year wouldn't even make the team) and it gives you some room to frick up those first few picks.
Don't sleep on any of these picks this year. Slow and steady wins the race.

im not drafting 3 of those guys. gore fitz or witten

Ok.
ETA I'm almost positive you said that about Gore last year as he ended up the #11 RB in all of fantasy.
In the 6th round. Care to make a wager where he ends up this year?

I had Gore on some teams last year. But the older he gets the more likely he is to NOT finish a season. He went from averaging 4.2 YPC in the first 8 games last year, to 3.60 during the back half of the schedule. His saving grace was he caught some passes.
Gore is going
10 picks before Gillislee
16 picks before CJ Anderson
20 picks before Theo Riddick
60 picks before Derrick Henry & Darren Sproles
80 picks before Alvin Kamara
are you taking any of those guys before Gore?

He's going 64 overall in ESPN draft which puts him in the 5th round in 12 team leagues. Not taking him that high, sorry. Ill look in the 7th. Maybe.
He finished 12th overall last year in PPR. He wont finish that high again, thats for sure. Fringe top 20. Their OL isnt good. Andrew Luck is hurt. And Marlon Mack has looked good in the preseason.

All of that speaks volumes to what he did at 33 years old. On a team with a shitty OL and a broken QB.
And to answer your question, yes. I take a goddamn cowbell with a guaranteed 15-20 touches a game before the handcuffs you just mentioned.
How many games has Gore missed in his career due to injury?
I've been waiting for "that year" for him to fall off; just as you have. Except; I'm the one drafting him and winning leagues with him and you're too scared to do the same thing this year as you did last?
Where do you think he ends up this year related to all RBs?
What is your prediction?

Again, when he doesn't continue to keep producing , is the day I bow out!
Again, I love drafting against people like you.

and i want to play in a league where Jason Witten can win you a league.
or Kenny Britt for that matter. Who put up 9 & 2.5 points in what would be most league's semi & champ games

Lol. You are laughing at the names while I'm looking at value. Kenny Britt in the last round and Witten maybe the round before him gives me so many more options.
Or would you rather waste the earlier round on D Thomas who will give you the same results as K Britt?

Well, he is in a time share at best, and if abdoullah is healthy he is looking at about 20% work load

10 picks before Gillislee
Would take 20 picks before any rb on this team

16 picks before CJ Anderson
As deserved, he may not even start the whole yr

yea, or you can find guys like kyle rudolph, zach ertz, jimmy graham, or cameron brate that finish top 7 at their position without spending anything.
I'll find those guys in the draft. You can have your Wittens. Who, 10x last year scored in single digits in PPR leagues.

I started a thread last year about waiting on L Blount, and was laughed off the board. Some posters saying he wouldn't even be on the roster!
It's almost like they don't see a value because the players are too old, or in an offensive system or a QB being suspended and how that ACTUALLY helps the other player.
Whatever...

On a down year for TEs?
There wasn't much variance last year at the TE position man!
Posted on 8/24/17 at 8:03 pm to Errerrerrwere
Jimmy Graham 6x in single digits
Kyle Rudolph 5x single digits
More consistency at the same cost, if not cheaper. Graham wasnt even picked in a lot of leagues

who are your top 20 RB, in order?

WTF? Are you telling me that Jimmy Graham's ADP is the same cost as Witten's?
Or are we still talking about last year?

What?
It's me knighting for Blount the whole thread!
When you make a prediction that holds true; I'll give you credit, man. Don't worry!
ETA go back further and find the ones about Blount not even making the team!
