I'll set it up if we can garner enough interest. Any preference on style of league (PPR/Standard, # teams, playoffs, etc...)? If no one uses the AU Family name for their league, we could use that and create a post in the forum for back/forth trash talk, trade talk, etc.. through course of year and maybe keep this as a running tradition. We can keep it free for fun or pitch in a few bucks to have some skin in game, either way is good for me. I personally prefer 8-10 teams and no more than that. Too many teams and the points will be hard to come by and the challenge is that much greater. Less than 8 teams and the points seem easier to come by and strategy isn't nearly as involved. I also prefer PPR leagues just because they seem to capitalize more on the strengths of the receiving threat RB's. Overall, I'm in and down for anything, so it's your call.

True it hurts him some, but he picked up T Pryor with those losses. He gets Josh Doctson back and still has Crowder, not to mention J Reed. I think he'll be just fine with those options to throw it around if all can stay healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubearcat 2,132 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Opinions, I did one of my league drafts last night. Here's my lineup: QB - Brees RB - D Freeman RB - D Murray Wr - D Thomas Wr - M Crabtree Wr - W Snead W/R - K Hunt Te - J Graham K - C Boswell D - Denver bench: Martellus Bennett, Paul Perkins, Doug Martin, Adam Thielen, Chris Hogan, and Rishard Matthews . My WRs are average Should I make a trade or stand pat because of my above average RBs, QB, and TEs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your WR's look great if they were mid-late rounds. just make sure the boards don't have any hidden gems laying around, and read up on your TE, make sure Graham is a better start than Bennet. But most of all, never listen to a thing I say, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Hunt in the late rounds was an absolute steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the standard 2RB/3WR/1TE standard format in Yahoo either. Gives a little more flexibility to use the 3rd WR spot as RB/WR/TE flex spot. Needing 5 more to fill the league for next Sunday evening draft... Is the draft time ok or do we need to adjust for schedules? I'm flexible, so up to league as to what works best.

You are stacked at RB...I'd see if you could find someone weak at RB and strong at WR to work a deal to give a little upgrade to your WR corp. In no way are you hurting if you roll with this as is. I wouldn't give anything away just to upgrade at WR though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like my conundrum with D Thomas. Great receiver no quarterback. Hyde is a great back with no passing game to help him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyde is a great back with no passing game to help him. That could be interesting. It's a fair trade on paper. I personally like Shannahan in SF this year and could be very good for Hyde (and Garcon too). Heck he was good against stacked 8 men fronts before he got hurt last year. M Thomas is gonna eat in NO imo with Cooks gone. Tennessee is interesting to see what happens there and if they throw it around more or if D Henry emerges as the bell cow over Murray. I'm not sold on Denver QB situation but DT88 should get his regardless, though not to Peyton Manning era level for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
