2018 Early Fantasy Football Discussion
Posted on 5/9/18 at 1:56 pm

Thought it would be a good idea to have one thread on the board to talk about football, that way we don't clog it up.
Its kind of early but the draft is over and its about 2.5 months till we really start to get going. Maybe some people are ready to start discussing fantasy football.
If this is too early and no one wants to talk I'll delete it.
What rookies RB's will you be targeting? I'm loving Penny and Michel for where they are going according to Best Ball ADP's.
This is a great site for Mock Drafts and ADP info:

Where do you think Saquon goes in a redraft?

He's gotta be a mid to late first round pick, he's gonna get a shite load of volume.
I would love to have this dude on some teams.
Shurmur uses his RB's a ton in the passing game

As we have learned over the years in fantasy football, volume is king at the running back position. Of the top-10 running backs in PPR scoring in 2017, only one didn’t finish in the top ten in either carries or targets. The lone exception was Mark Ingram, who finished as the No. 6 RB on the season, but was 11th in the NFL among running backs in targets. In fantasy, having a workhorse running back on your team gives you a huge advantage over your opponent if they have someone who is a part of a running back by committee approach. Going second overall to the Giants, Barkley was the earliest running back drafted in a decade. I looked at what that means for his volume in year one. The one thing each one of the last five backs to go in the top 10 had in common was opportunity. While McCaffrey didn’t have the total volume, he led the league in targets his rookie year. As the chart below shows, when a team spends premium draft capital on a running back they get him the ball. As famous as Trent Richardson is for being a bust, he still finished as the ninth-highest scoring fantasy back his rookie year. No running back drafted in the top 10 since 2012 has finished outside of the top 10 running backs in PPR scoring in his rookie year.

Shurmur uses his RB's a ton in the passing game
quote:
New Giants head coach Pat Shurmur was asked how he feels about the running back position. "I have a high opinion of what a running back brings to your offense," Shurmur said at the NFL Combine, "but I also have a very high opinion that guy has to be able to run the ball, be able to pass protect and has to be able to catch. That's one of the things we must get better at, catching the football. The running back can be a huge weapon in the passing game." This is highly encouraging for Saquon Barkley as he is a dynamic receiver whose skill set calls for 90+ targets. Last year, Shurmur’s Vikings targeted running backs 20.9 percent of the time, which was 17th in the league. However, Jerick McKinnon finished 13th in the league in total running back targets, while seeing more targets per snap than LeVeon Bell and Todd Gurley. With Barkley projected to play more snaps than McKinnon, Shurmur’s belief in the importance of running backs catching the football, and his offensive history of willingness to target running backs, Barkley should be in for a major workload in the passing game.

When looking at the whole picture, Barkley is worth the investment of building your fantasy team around him. He is currently being drafted as the ninth overall player and eighth overall running back according to FantasyPros' ADP. We have shown that every running back drafted in the top 10 this decade finished as a top 10 back his first year in the league. Barkley has the talent to surpass them all, plus he has a head coach who believes in targeting his running back in the passing game to help him do it. Barkley joins a team where there are plenty of snaps to go around, with his only real concern is getting vultured for touchdowns by Jonathan Stewart. Barkley is a player I'm targeting at his current ADP—he's someone who can help you win your league.
He's gonna be a for sure first round pick come August.

The amount of RBs that will go in the first, it will really take you back to about a dozen years ago again.

Tell you what Texans didn't draft a RB, Foreman recovering from Achilles injury, Miller was a top 12 RB with Watson. I'll take that value in the 4-5 range
Posted on 5/10/18 at 4:57 pm to Byron Bojangles III
Miller is really good value this year.
I'm shocked at where Kenyan Drake is going, he has potential to go wild.

Prolly cause drake sucks and Ballage will take that job
Posted on 5/11/18 at 12:12 am to BilJ
How does Drake suck? He was outstanding at the end of last year.
Posted on 5/11/18 at 12:25 am to CBandits82
I won't be falling into another Seahawks RB trap. Maybe Penny will go off, but if he does terrible he won't be on my team.
Posted on 5/11/18 at 9:52 am to BilJ
Drake doesn't suck his situation does.
Posted on 5/11/18 at 2:56 pm to Byron Bojangles III
random arse question but need advice in Dynasty league.. Drafted Hayden Hurst... but how do you think Ben Watson will be this year? Is he the guy in New Orleans?
Posted on 5/11/18 at 6:44 pm to SoFunnyItsNot
For a year he is. First year TE don't have much success
Posted on 5/17/18 at 9:11 pm to BilJ
You need to keep the Ballage talk quiet. Shhhhhhh
Posted on 5/18/18 at 2:52 pm to CBandits82
I use FFC each and every year leading up to our draft. And none of our drafts have ever even remotely matched what goes on in that site. Lol. Nevertheless, it's still fun and I'll probably still do 100 of them leading up to our draft this year.

I’m thinking about buying the premium where you can follow in draft using the FFC system.
I love that layout.

I love the draft dominator app by football guys and use FFC ADP and input those rankings into the app manually
Posted on 5/22/18 at 9:19 pm to Byron Bojangles III
Bye bye Hunter Henry
Posted on 5/23/18 at 10:30 am to BilJ

Have a feeling that run on TE's is going to start earlier this year. He and Graham I feel like were going to be everyone's "end-all" TE's where once the run started on TE1's people would wait until one of those two were the best player remaining at the POS before drafting one. With that now being Graham, who some may draft really high anyway, I think the TE's are going to go quicker than an average year. Just a hunch.
