Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Rotoworld's Evan Silva, Fantasy News, Mailbag

If you're in a half point or a full point PPR, his baseline is fantastic because he should get 70 catches. Yep. Any other thoughts on that? No, I love Justin Forsy. That's just kind of the reason we like him. I mean, he still has questions. He's an older guy. He's bounced around, you know, all the things that Silva said earlier are there, but just great opportunity with Trussman. Let's go to another voicemail.

Hey, guys, Nate here. How in Eastern Idaho, a new listener to the podcast, really enjoying it. In a 12-team PPR league, one point per reception, half a point per rush attempt, trying to decide who to keep that would be considered my first round pick. Aaron, I apologize, not Aaron Rogers, Adrian Peterson, Antonio Brown, or Marshawn Lynch. Which of those three should I keep?

and have counted as my first round picks. Thanks for the help, guys. Bye. Don't hit the bell yet. I'm ready, though. I'm ready to hit it. I just want to clarify. Did I hear half point per carry? You heard half point per carry. Okay. Which is why I'm ready to smash this bell. Yeah, you can smash it. You can hit it. Adrian Peterson. Adrian. Oh. Yeah. No, that's fair. Yeah. The reason I was going to have you hold up for a second, and we can talk about this for a minute. But in a lot of PPR leagues, I see people coming and they're asking me questions about...

It's one of those guys in the top five running backs or Antonio Brown. Yeah. I mean, is there a situation where you're taking Brown? In non-half...

Point per carry leagues, yeah. That's what I, that's where I was trying to get to is. I've seen Antonio Brown go as high as number two in a PPR where I've loved the roster that drafted him afterwards. So I am not at all opposed to having that conversation. But if you're getting a half point per carry and Adrian Peterson is going to get near 300 carries. And a PPR. Yeah, I mean, because he's going to get 50 catches too. That's an extra 150 points on the baseline. We were just, you know.

celebrating Justin Forsett's 70 receptions. Yep. Give me AP all. Give me AP all day. Wow, you guys are special people. All right. Hey, this is Dugan from Illinois. I'm seeing King and Allen go late in a lot of draft, and I'm wondering if there's any chance he can bounce back. Seeing his gates are suspended for four games and you lose Royal. Yeah, just let me know.

Oh, well, definitely there's a chance that Keenan Allen can bounce back. He's a 23-year-old wide receiver. He's Philip Rivers' number one target. And really, when you look at last year, it was kind of enigmatic because he's coming off a 1,000-yard season. He had 70 receptions. Well, last year, he caught 77 passes.

So it's not like he dropped off the map, but he just didn't get in the end zone as much. He had half the amount of touchdowns, which, I mean, touchdowns go all over the place. In fantasy, you know that. And his average yards per catch was down. And so he had some good games, but most people were disappointed in him. But at that age, with that quarterback in the system, I don't see why he can't bounce back and give you 80 catches. Yeah, I like him to bounce back. I think it will be somewhere between the two seasons. I don't think that he'll be.

what he was his rookie year, but he won't be as disappointing as he was last year. And especially these first four games where, with Gates out, somebody is going to have to carry the load even more with Gates gone, because maybe Green, Lederious Green can do it. But I think Keenan Allen and Stevie Johnson are the biggest, they get the most upside from the Gates suspension. So I'd...

Keenan Allen, because he's going so late, or not really, really late, but later, he's a great guy to grab. Yeah, last year he was drafted in the third round because people, that's why it sucked. Right, and that's why he sucked so bad was not because he sucked so bad. Because he heard everybody was drafting him in the third, and he couldn't perform. Right, now you got it. Anxiety. Right now he's a young guy. He's going in the fifth round. And I think that the two guys.

that are going right ahead and behind of him, Sammy Watkins and Golden Tate? Oh, give me Kenan Allen. Yeah, I agree. All day. No, he's not Adrian Peterson. Oh, okay. All right. This question comes in from David from, from, how do you pronounce that? Pocatello. Pocatello. Pocatello. You've got your mouse right over the, I can't read it. It's not me. Pocatello? Oh, yes. David from Pocatello? Yeah, where is that? Pocateum. I'm looking it up. Yeah, that's fine. All right. Check it out. In the meantime. Idaho.

Oh, that's a back-to-back Idaho questions? Wow. We're getting big in Idaho. How did that happen? Do you guys want them instead of double stuff? Do you want like a big crate of potatoes? I would much rather have double stuff. Sorry, Potato Bill. All right, he's in a 10 team. Listen to this. Two quarterback, half-point PPR league. He needs two keepers. He doesn't have to keep them. He can throw them back and just draft if the value isn't good. Here's his choices. DeMarco in the fourth. Russell Wilson in the fifth.

You should be happy about that, too, in a two-quarterment. For sure. Gore in the sixth, Macklin or Emmanuel Sanders in the eighth, or Gates and Jordan Matthews is the 15th. Oh, man. I can say this for sure. You're keeping two. I mean, you've got a lot of good options. Lots of value. No chance you're throwing those back. Wow. One is... I'm having a hard time deciding. I think one is an absolute lock for me. Is that DeMarco in the fourth? Nope. Jordan Matthews in the 15th. Nope.

Okay. Both of those. Those would be who I'm deciding for for my second one. Oh, so Russell Wilson is your luck. Russell Wilson is my lock. I think you have to keep Wilson. In a two-quarterback league. I mean, in the fifth is decent value for where you get them in a one quarterback league. Exactly. Exactly. So I think Wilson, you're keeping. So how do you make this decision, Mike? Because Matthew's value is insane. It's a half-point PBR, but so is DeMarcos. I mean, the fourth round for DeMarco. Oh, man. Or a six for Gore.

I mean, I'm not going to, I don't think anybody's taking Gore here, but... Yeah, Gore and the Sixth is pretty incredible, but to me, it's between DeMarco and Jordan Matthews. I think I'm just rolling DeMarco and Wilson. I go DeMarco as well. It's a, you know, you can keep two guys, so you figure, what are you giving up there? Fourth? Yeah, so really, it's kind of like a sixth, because you've got two rounds that are already somewhat done, so... Yeah. Yeah. What do you think, Mike? All right, all right. We're...

Is that the... Someone sent in a great email about how to... Did either you see that? Oh, oh, yeah, about the podcast. What was the name of the podcast? With Rafi. Oh, yeah.

Oh, we're doing a really good job. They do a movie podcast. So, but anyways, back to my point. I can feel it. Yeah.
