Fantasy football 2015

Yep. Olsen is your play every week.

 

Yeah, the only scenario there that makes any sense to me at all is dropping Davis to stash Gates on your bench, but I don't think I'd even do that. Don't waste a bench spot on a TE.

 

One. There really aren't enough good RBs left. I usually wait until someone unexpected emerges, then I'll grab him. It worked last year with C.J. Anderson.

 

Had to operate two simultaneous drafts while feeding and rocking a crying infant to sleep tonight. I think I fared pretty well.

12-team, non-PPR
QB: Brees
WR: Cobb
WR: Hilton
WR: Cooper
RB: Lacy
RB: Yeldon
TE: Ertz
K: Prater
DEF: STL
Bench: Rashad Jennings, Cruz, D. Freeman, Stills, Mariota, Donnell

12-team, PPR
QB: Brees
WR: Beckham
WR: J. Jones
RB: Abdullah
RB: Yeldon
TE: D. Allen
Flex: Doug Martin
K: Tucker
DEF: Buffalo
Bench: Newton, Charles Johnson, Cruz, Stills, Green-Beckham, Bush

 

Better hope Brees doesn't get hurt.

 

Very true. I hate to double up on starting QB like that, but Luck and Rodgers were both gone in both drafts.

 

Speaking of Bama-centric drafts!

 

Had my draft last night. It never ceases to amaze me how some people can use up 2 minutes on their first or second round picks.

I picked AP with No. 1. Since we draft 16 players, I took a flyer on a few who were hurt/suspended for my bench.

My team is:

RB: Peterson, Morris
WR: Marshall, Vincent Jackson
QB: Ryan
TE: Bennett
Flex: Yeldon
K: Prater
DST: Panthers
Bench: Bridgewater, Gurley, McKinnon, Clay, Fitzgerald, Cruz, M. Bryant

 

It never fails that in my league, someone is late to the draft room. So we get about 10 minutes of "Everybody take the full time, we're waiting on Paul!" and "Fuck Paul, I'm picking now!" It's delightful.

 

Our commish took the full time for every pick and seemed genuinely anguished about each choice. It was just brutal.

 

I've been in one league for 11 years now, with mostly the same owners. One of them is a dear friend and co-worker. Brilliant guy. He's so fucking awful at drafting, it boggles the mind.

This year he topped himself: he took the Arizona Cardinals defense early in the 4th round.

 

1. How much do you pay in your league?
2. Can he join mine?
