Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Dynasty / Keeper Mailbag, News

of many in your league. So if you can find someone who really likes them, maybe you unload him, but I still believe in Michael Floyd. All right. Next question comes from John M. He's in a 12 team. Johnny. Three keeper non-PPR. It looks like his keepers are, they cost one draft pick from rounds one through three. So he's asking, who does he keep? Demarius Thomas, Alshon Jeffrey.

Rob Gronkowski, Shady McCoy, Eddie Lacey. So his big question is, should I go with roster, construction, or best player value? Hmm. I think honestly, Jonnum, I would say that they, Johnum. The answer to your big question is the same either way, in my opinion. I don't think that based on who you've got, that your roster construction is different.

then who the best value is. I think when you take the best value, you're setting up your roster to be well constructed, which is, in my opinion, you've got to go with Eddie Lacey, and you've got to go with Gronk, and you've got to go with Marius Thomas. I mean, right there, you can have an argument if you want. I know you're high on Shady. I'm interested to hear what Andy has to say. Yeah, yeah. So, Andy, why don't you talk about Shady? I agree. I'd go Rob Grancowski and Eddie Lacey and Shady McCoy. Yeah, so that's really the question. I take the two running backs. I take two huge.

advantages at running backs to top 10 potential guys and a monster positional advantage at Rob Gruncowski. But, you know, if you want to go Demarius Thomas, there's nobody more consistent. I don't blame you. If you're not high on McCoy, if you're worried about him transitioning teams, that's fine. Yeah, I get that. I'm not as high on Shady as you are, and I think that's been made known, but I do love Shady as a number two running back. Now, he does pick 12th in his draft.

Does that make a difference on what will be available there? It is a three keeper. This is similar to a league we play in. So 36 guys are off the board. He picks 12 in the first round, non-snake until the fourth. So it's hard to say what will be available. But if guys are going to keep more running backs, then maybe you keep two running backs and grab a wider seat there that's on the board. Maybe try and do a little recon of, hey, hey, Bill, what do you think about keeping over there? Or just scout out people's.

teams covertly on the internet like I do and then use your brain and say I think they're going to keep this yeah I think that's where his question actually comes from is he wants to know he keeps these three guys but he picks at 12 so do you do best available at 12 or do you do roster construction in that point you do best available at 12 I think for your first pick I mean it depends right because if you take

This is why I take Demarius Thomas is because if you take Demarius Thomas, then that number 12, you go best available. If there's a better running back, a better wide receiver, you're fine to go either way. If you take Shady, you're really in need of a wide receiver, and if one doesn't fall to you there, you know, I see Demarius as a number one wide receiver. I see Shady as a running back two, so that's where I would go DT. All right. So, yeah, I think you got a couple perspectives to go with there.

But either way, you don't want to leave somebody great on your board. So do a little recon like Mike said. You got to know your league, man. You got to know your league mates. Like Tom Clancy, Rainbow 6. We got a guy in our league that we know is going to draft all the chargers off the board. It's useful insider information. So play to that strength. All right. This one comes in off of Twitter at Dynasty Delight. Dynasty Delight. I like it. PPR. You're welcome. I'm not sure. Are these both?

If? Yeah, I believe it's one or the other. Okay, so he gets to choose. Do you say PPR? Yeah, it's a PPR league. So Jimmy Graham or Lynch? No, I believe it's Graham Lynch or Kelsey Hill. Oh, really? Okay. All right. Well, that changes the question. Jimmy Graham and Lynch or Travis Kelsey and Jeremy Hill. Well, boy, this is Old Blood, New Blood. Mm-hmm.

I don't, I'm not sure. I guess I would go Kelsey Hill myself because I wouldn't want, you know, there's no PPR value, a little bit more PPR value probably to Lynch actually. I guess the double, the double Seahawks thing would be the problem to me. It's really close though. I think age versus youth is legitimate because this is a keeper league. So to me, I always want to go with.

with young blood over old blood? Is it? Do we know that? It is a dice. Well, I imagine what would he be doing? If he's a dynasty league, if he's a dynasty to the light. All right, all right. So, for me, if this is a keeper question, I would definitely go Kelsey Hill. The question is, what if this was a redraft? Which pair would you rather have? I dated a girl named Kelsey Hill once. Yeah, I don't doubt it. I've seen, no offense to your wife. Hey, this is a long time ago.

I go Kelsey Hill. The player is not the lady. Okay. For the dynasty aspect, much younger. I love it. The lady or the... I'm not going to speak to the lady's age. And I think there is a strong chance that Kelsey Hill outscore Graham and Lynch respectively at their positions. Agree. Huh. Yeah, that is... Do you go with the old?

What you're comfortable with? Old busted or new hotness? Yeah, I like, we love Kelsey. We like Kelsey finishing at or above Graham this year. This next one comes in from Hillary Clinton. I'm having some trouble locking in my keepers. Our league deadline is approaching quickly. I'm going to be a little busy for the next year and a half. And I could use some help. Well, of course, we're here for you. Yes, madam. Madam. I did not know that the, what is she? Is she the first lady anymore?

She's, no, no, no. Bill Clinton is not in office, right? So I didn't know she played fantasy football, but thank you, Hillary. She's in House of Cards, right? Yeah, correct. Yeah. Two keepers, only one per position. Can keep forever. Aryan Foster or Jeremy Hill? Easy. Emanuel Sanders or T.Y. Hilton. Easy. So you have to choose between each one. This goes back to the last comment. Can keep forever, Jeremy Hill, T. Y. Hilton.

Yeah, Jeremy Hill and Ty White Hilton. It's new hotness versus old old busted. One year, I take Arian Foster and T.Y. Hilton, just for the record. If it's a redraft, you're saying? If you just got these guys for one year and they go back in or something. Let's keep the shading on my Jeremy Hill tattoo going. And I will keep Jeremy Hill. Are we the highest?

kind of group show that on Jeremy Hill? We're just the first. I've seen everybody starting to get on board and raise them higher. What I heard towards the end of the gear from other guys out there was to be cautious. The time show is still there. And meanwhile, I've got my revolvers just shooting into the night, screaming Jeremy Hill, looking like pistol Pete. Every night waking up the neighbors.

You wake up at midnight screaming. I've had at least five complaints. Jeremy! Pearl Jam is playing all the time. Yeah, exactly. He spoke in class today. But it seems like people are starting to come around on the show. We got to get him on the show. Jeremy Hill? Yeah, we got to get him on the show. My heart would not be able to handle it. Yeah, we'll, Andy and I will interview him while you just rub oil on yourself in the background or something. I need a paper bag and oxygen.

if that's going to happen. And then I would, I'd go with Hilton over Stan over. Stanton? Over who? Drew Stanton? Yeah, everybody over Drew Stanton. No, Tyre Hilton. T.Y. Hillman. Because, hey, Sanders is a good player, but what is his value when Peyton Manning leaves? It's just, yeah, it could be similar to the Michael Floyd situation. You just don't know what you're going to get because you don't know who's next. I mean, Brock Islesweiler's going to come in and who knows. I'm starting to get.

more on the Cody Latimer train when we did a show a while back for some of the sleepers and he was one of mine and the more I looked I dropped him off and now just with him going to Duke and working with Peyton Manning in the off season and him talking about how he didn't know the offense early enough last year I think Cody's going to get on the field and I'm starting to sour a little bit on my man Emmanuel Sanders so that you know what oh that's that brings up a really good point I was going to bring it up on this show

You know, we're recording through the whole offseason. We're sitting here giving you top tens in, you know, April, end of March, and giving you some names, giving you guys to kind of some perspective to think about. But these things are going to change for us as we get more information. You know, it looked like, oh, there's going to be a lot of two wide receiver sets, so maybe Latimer's not going to be on the field. But, you know, now it's looking like the team has a lot of belief in him.

And so as we see these things play out preseason and those things, we're going to change those opinions too. Yeah, the best fantasy football players, they don't lock in and just fall in love where they can't. Yeah, if C.J. Anderson starts looking like the guy, I'm going to change my opinion. We're like fantasy chameleons. Well, I...

I don't know about that. No, I don't know. It's time for NyQuil. No, it takes some... It's night. It's night, night. Mr. Charming 2K says this. I had enough foresight to draft Zeus, so Travis Kelsey late last year in my Keeper League. I don't know where I'm drafting yet, but here's my dilemma. Listen closely. Keep Lacey in the first or Travis Kelsey in the seventh. Keep shining you, crazy cats. Thank you. We will.

That is interesting. Keep Lacey in the first or Travis Kelsey in the seventh. Well, I can tell you right now, my answer is actually Travis Kelsey in the seventh. And that is based on our projection for Travis Kelsey. If we believe Rob Grancowski is worthy of a first round pick because of positional advantage and we have Kelsey as our number two, getting him in the seventh, having that first round pick available, that's still tough. I mean, if you're a guy who has to have that locked and loaded RB1, you're not going to go wrong, draft an Eddie Lacey. Who knows where you can get.

Kelsey in the draft still. This is when I saw this question, my first thought was I wonder where he picks. But he said he doesn't know where he's picking yet because if he's picking up near the top and he can grab a running back, then I do love that value. But if you can't, then see, I can construct a team that can win with Lacey and without a great tight end. You know what I mean? I can get my tight end. I can get my boy Cody, not Cody Latimer. You don't even know your boy's name.

Um, but, uh, who's your boy? I'm all, I'll, Cody, Kelsey. Cody Latimer is, yeah, Kobe Fleener's my guy, but Cody Latimer would not get out of my head because he's so dreamy. But yeah, no, I mean, I can grab him, you know, late in the draft and I can't get Eddie Lacey anywhere else. So I, I would go Lacey here, uh, not knowing where you draft. If you know, you can grab a stud running back early, then, then the value on Kelsey's great. Yeah, you're probably, probably dancing with.

with some dangerous stuff if you don't hold on to Lacey. But that value on Zeus in the seventh is just amazing. At D. Kelly 20 asks, was just offered the ninth pick of the first round and a 2016 first for Levion Bell and the ninth pick of the second round. Let's process that for a second. Was just offered 109.

You did it all right over there, Mike? Yeah, what's going on, buddy? I'm just, I'm insulted for him. Yeah, or on it. Yeah, I can't wait. When I first read this question, when I first read it, this is what I read. It was the first, you know, the ninth pick in the first round this year, the first round next year, and the second, the ninth pick in the second round this year. So I saw it was, I'm going to give you first and second this year and a first next year. And when I read that, I go, hmm.

I probably would say no. That's what I actually thought. And then I read it and go, wait, you're sending Leveon Bell and the second? What? No with extreme prejudice. Yeah. This is not, this is, you offer something rude back to that player. Yeah, or you say you get one more and then no more. This is offers. This is an offer where if you owe this person some like $20, you go get $20 worth of pennies.

And you leave it like in their door just spilled all over the floor. Because this is repulsive. So say no. Say no. Layvian Bell is pretty good. This is somebody trying to take advantage of the news that Levi-on-Bel was suspended for three games and trying to go after him. But D. Kelly 20 is smart enough to say no. To listen to the fantasy footballers. All right. The next one comes in from Twitter at jazz jargon. I like it. Jazz jargon. Jazz jargon. 12 team non-P.

Non-P-R. Non-P-R. Rebuilding team. I prefer it to be non-Pee. Yeah. Really? It's just, this is the only deuce league? All right, moving along. Would you rather have, he says he's rebuilding, by the way, Dynasty Rebuilding. Okay. Would you rather have Landry and 105 or Michael Floyd and 106? And we've kind of answered this already. Landry and the fifth. Yeah, for sure. Non-PPR. You got more guarantee.
