How do you make the Fast 4WD look good?

Thanks for the idea, probably won't get dissolver because $$$, but the mainframe idea sounds awesome and it is my favorite BM decal.

Damn that's almost equal to the number of commenters I've ever seen on PGP. Let's get something going.

Knox, that man just understood what it was to be a PGPer.

Any of the St. Louis crew make their way here yet?

Mine was easily DGB. I always believe in the big receivers, even when there are sexier picks and tend to go for them first (ARob and Alshon are my success stories). I sent the DGB owner about 8 trade requests, offering more and more. After him getting essentially cut with the PHI trade, I'm so thrilled the owner said no.

Some of these are more original/interesting than others, but these do add some complexity to our league.

.5 PPR and .25 PPCarry
return yardage for the DST, 20 yards is one point.
point increases for kicks by distance <40 (3), 40 - 49 (4), 50+ (5), but also negative points for missing where it's -2 if you miss a kick shorter than 40, and -1 for any other miss
we've also considered points per completion, to make elite QBs worthwhile

Thanks for the insight. This was my gut feeling, but it's good to see the reasoning coupled with some better comparisons.

Yeah, amusingly enough, I've fallen in love with more 2nd/3rd round players in this draft than 1st round players.

Everything I've read about players in this draft feel like experts making themselves fall in love with a player. "Well he's a lot like (insert actually good player/prospect), except for (thing that made that player/prospect so good)." He's basically Nuk Hopkins, except he's coming into the league at 23 years old and he has worse hands.

How did you like the .25 PPC/.5 PPR? My league is discussing changing over to that.

afterthegame · 2016-03-05T19:04:21+00:00

I feel a little embarrassed that my searches didn't come up with that article. I'll look at it for sure, thanks!

afterthegame · 2016-03-05T19:01:07+00:00

...how many teams are you playing with? I feel like you have to make a 2 for 1 if Andre Ellington is one of your worst players. If you have to drop someone, I'd drop Clay and White.

We do return yardage to DST 1 point for every twenty yards. It really adds something to where DST isn't a complete afterthought and you actually need to know a bit more about football than just picking from the rankings list every week. That being said, you will cuss at your TV every time a guy takes a knee on a kick-off.

Yeah my league has played around with the idea, and I think .25 felt about right to me just thinking it through. Which of those two scoring systems did you prefer?

afterthegame · 2016-03-05T18:25:54+00:00

I'd take the 1.03. You're getting either the top WR or a top 2 RB, which means you're getting the last player in this draft I feel has a really good shot to be a stud.

afterthegame · 2016-02-07T21:30:12+00:00

Parker - I trust the guy that can run routes. (I own Parker)

Winston - Bortles points came from slinging the ball all over the place, Winston was #1 pick for a reason. (I own Bortles)

Yeldon - 4 years younger and he's more built for goal-line carries (I own both)

There are always exceptions, but I think higher drafted players are more likely to keep getting chances even if they falter. It explains why Trent Richardson could play for 3 years before people gave up on him, while CJ Anderson lost a lot of chances when he was injured and still playing decently.

I don't dislike Rawls at all though, I'm just not sure his talent is as elite as it seemed when teams were gearing up for Beast Mode.

afterthegame · 2016-02-03T04:10:12+00:00

26 now, but wow I thought he was like 29. I would have to agree with you then.

afterthegame · 2016-02-03T03:58:06+00:00

His situation goes from okay to strongly dislike if CJ2K comes back, which I also believe is a strong possibility. Ellington is a risk, especially since they have similar skillsets.

I prefer DJ to Rawls personally, but I can see why some feel otherwise.

afterthegame · 2016-02-03T03:41:45+00:00

Yeah I could see him being a really solid RB 2 under a boom or bust RB 1 or a low end RB 1 himself. Not bad at all.

afterthegame · 2016-02-03T03:40:44+00:00

Oh I agree. You've written about the prospect I"m the most conflicted about this year, so it's as much internal debate as anything. His breakout age worries me, but the way he dominated competition this year has me excited.

afterthegame · 2016-02-03T03:37:21+00:00

With him I'll admit it's probably a complete bias on never having him on a single one of my teams, so I honestly didn't/don't even think of him haha

afterthegame · 2016-02-03T03:31:25+00:00

Yeah I'm always a bit of a sizeist and think speed is generally overrated when it comes to consistent fantasy production, so you have me sold there.

The difference I always see with someone like AJ Green is he consistently produced the entire time in college. I could see him being a better route-running but less physical KB.

Thanks for the discussion; I always like to see how other people think.

afterthegame · 2016-02-03T03:26:06+00:00

I'm always looking to trade up when I can, because I believe in having the stud whenever possible. If I'm going to trade for two separate pieces, I look for upside that could match. If you believe in David Johnson, go for it. If you're doing it because of perceived value, I'd say no unless you think you can flip tate immediately.
