NFL fantasy football open thread
I haven't seen one of these this year, and I thought it would be nice and tidy if we kept the NFL stuff in one thread...
Just to kick things off...10 man ppr, 10yds rushing or receiving =1pt...
I am in a league with a ridiculous amount of bench slots(8!) which has me thinking about stealing handcuffs(guys that will be useful when/if the starter goes down). In what order would you pick these guys?
Bernart Scott
Ronnie Hillman
Taiwan Jones
Rashad Jennings
Rashard Mendenhall(ACL)
Jacquiz Rodgers
Michael Robinson
Ryan Williams
Isaih Pead
Dion Lewis
Bernard Pierce
Chris Rainey
Tim Hightower
Alex Green
Montario Hardesty
Javon Ringer
Delone Carter
Ronnie Brown
David Wilson
Kevin Smith
those guys are mostly free agent fodder in a 10 man league. Rodgers and Kevin Smith are the only two I'd expect much out of if they were on my roster.
This is just our first year with 8 bench slots, and I dont want them to go to waste...In the past when players have gone down their handcuffs have always been available on the waiver wire...I'm thinking with 8 slots not so much anymore.
Picked up Aaron Rodgers with the 6th pick.....yeah this year shouldn't be hard to win.
Matthews went in the 8'th last year? Wow.
in a ppr league quiz rodgers might be worth a look. I would also consider Hillman, Pead, Ringer and Wilson.
Some of these guys I've never even heard of, and ESPN projections can only take you so far...
What do you think about Green Ellis in Cincy?
Or Isaac Redman in Pitt
Or Steven Ridley?
Which of those guys do you think have the best shot at being a decent #2 back?
Redman looks like he will be the starter in Pittsburgh and could be a very productive player this year. Just be carefull about Mendenhall's return as it could hurt Redman a lot.
As for the other two backs you mentioned I would try to stay away from them unless they were to fall a little bit below there projected value.

Who ya got?
Sorry, my hands are tied by the law.
I worry about my bench, I have Ryan Williams, Leshoure, Fleener, Stephen Hill, and Kendall Wright. Those guys all have 0.00 under 2011 points. Who knows, they could all have the capabilities to have great years though
