Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - 15 Gems for the 2015 Fantasy Season, News & Notes, Mailbag

Tell you, this is how we think, this is what we would probably do if we were in your situation because of this. Yeah, and there's so many different leagues, league types, players, or in this guy's case, dummies in your league. So keep those things in mind. Let's get another one. Hey, guys, this is Alexa in Tampa. In my longtime 12-team PPR league, you can keep any two players. My most hated rival is keeping Jamal Charles. So my question to you guys is,

What round would you look to steal away Nile Davis? I know it will drive him crazy if Jamal Charles goes down and I have Nile Davis on my team. So that's my question. Thanks, guys. Love the show. Perfect segue question. It is. And I laugh so much because the temptation to do that to certain people in my leagues is immense. Yeah. You know...

Generally speaking, just for the fun of it, even if it's not valuable to me. I've said this before. I don't draft other people's handcuffs. I don't draft other people's handcuffs unless that handcuff is worth having no matter what. Not just if you don't have the guy because it's going to ruin your roster. A guy like Nile Davis does fit that bill, right? If Jamal Charles goes down, Nile Davis isn't just a serviceable replacement for someone on your roster, but is possibly a very top running back that...

you know, when he was out last year, put up great numbers. So in that case, I've got no problem with you taking your vengeance out upon your player. Mike, what are you finding as far as where? I was going to say, Nile Davis actually, he had good fantasy production, but he really sucked. If you look at his yards per carrying everything, he was not very good. What I would do in this situation is, I agree with Jason. I don't like to spiteful draft to try and get people, but what I would do is I would

be planting little seeds in that person's head, I'm going to take Nile Davis in the eighth round. Yes. And make that person reach for their handcuffs. I love it. Oh, that is glory. That's doing such a bigger disservice to them than actually drafting Nile Davis. And we've said that because if you end up with Nile Davis on your team and you need a roster spot, you're probably going to drop him in week three or four because he's not going to have been on the field. And you'll just be like, I got you, but I really got myself because I didn't have a flyer. If they call your bluff.

No loss, but if it pays off. That's a great answer, Hitman. Nice. I agree. Let's do another one here. Hey, guys. This is Dan. I'm a new listener. Guys are pretty awesome. I can't lie. Thanks, Dan. I'm a big Colts fan here, but this besides the point. What I want to ask is I'm the commissioner of a 12 team PPR league, and we're trying to decide if we should do a full point PPR or a half point.

Can you just go over the positives and negatives of both and which one you think we should roll with? All right, thanks, guys. That's a great question. I love that you're thinking about that, not just throwing something in there. A little bit of context, and then I'll let Jason and Mike answer this, but in standard scoring leagues, there was only one wide receiver that finished in the top 20 in scoring. And in full PPR leagues, there were eight wide receivers that finished in the top 20 in scoring. So what is your preference there? Half or full? Half. I love.

Halfpoint PPR. It is the perfect combination of allowing people to get value for what they're doing on the field, but not swaying it so much where your scatbacks and your wide receivers, you know, your Cole Beasleys or whoever getting too much value. So I love half point. The leagues that we've played in for a long time have been half point. I'm a half point man as well. I don't like when wide receivers catch eight balls for...

40 yards and they still have a great fantasy day even though they didn't really do anything on the field. Julian Edelman really likes that. Yeah, he does. And that's who I'm referring to specifically. I knew. I know. But we want to remind the foot clan out there, the season is coming.
