Fantasy Football Advice

[rawaction]

I'm very confident in my fantasy football abilities, but I have been made an offer I'm seriously debating. Basically, I would get the 4th pick overall (in a keeper league) and give up my 2nd and 3rd round picks.

 

My keeper is Ray Rice, in the 4th round, therefore I don't have a 4th rounder this year. I won the league so I pick 12th.

 

So, basically I would have Rice, the #4 pick (likely to be Andre Johnson), and still pick at 12. But I wouldn't pick again until 60th. This is a PPR league, where we start TeamQB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR/TE, K, DEF.

 

Is having Ray Rice, Andre Johnson, and someone like Calvin Johnson worth not having another pick til 60? I think I could still pick up a WR like Garcon, Nicks, or Berrian at 60 and a RB like B Wells, Jacobs, Best, Ronnie Brown at 61. What does everyone think?

I think it'd be a good move. There's a ton of depth at RB, while there's not nearly as much at receiver. In the scenario you presented, you can have Rice/A Johnson/C Johnson and still have the picks to go after running back depth like Arian Foster, Matt Forte, Ronnie Brown, whoever starts in Tampa, etc.

 

How does the TeamQB work?

Basically, if you pick a QB, you get stats for him and whoever else plays QB for that team that game. So, if Favre gets hurt in the 2nd quarter, you aren't SOL. You also get the points from whatever Tavaris Jackson does.

That's an interesting method.

And why I'm targeting Kevin Kolb. If Vick plays an extended amount of time, I should make a killing in rushing yards.

Thats weird that a team would use a TeamQB over like a TeamRB which would come into play a lot more often.

Yeah, I think it's pretty stupid in general, but thems the rules.

do it, i actually like Best, Wells, Foster as much, if not more, than some of the early round RBs

 

try to get Mike Wallace, Britt, Nicks late

I don't think I'm going to do it. For a few reasons.

 

I don't think the drop from Andre Johnson to a WR at the end of the 1st is that big (C Johnson, Moss, Fitz). Not big enough to justify losing my 3rd rounder.

 

I don't think Best will last til the 5th. I don't think Garcon will last til the 5th. There's a big Giants fan in the league that will pick Nicks way too early. And the league is full of Steelers fans one of whom will pick Wallace early.

 

I'd still need a 3rd WR and 2nd RB, one of which would be a lot weaker if I used a 5th rounder on that position vs. a 3rd rounder.
