Buds Board Keepers League

Problem is McFadden has been shit pretty much his entire nfl career. Outside a season or two. That oline isn't going to make him magically stay healthy

1000 yards in the NFL isn't really a big deal anymore. If you play every game, you just need 62.5 yards a game to get there. Lots of teams are going with a running back by committee so no guarantees guys will get enough touches. McFadden was a 5+ yard per carry guy a couple years ago. If you can average 5 yards a carry and 12.5 carries a week...that's a 1000-yard season. 13 guys did it last year but between durability and teams using multiple backs and it's a pass-happy league...it doesn't happen as often. Running backs only have so many good years in them before they fall off the cliff or just become a complimentary back.

No McFadden is just terrible.

- Only once in his career has he broken 1000 yards.
- 4 times in his 7 year career he has averaged less than 3.5 yds per carry
- Max att in a season is 223
- One of the worst fumble/attempt ratios in the NFL

Even if he were to match his career avg yds per attempt he would still have to carry the rock 244 times to break 1000 yards. It will never happen.

Randle is the Cowboys starter.

I'd play in the league, but only if it's on Yahoo.

Gotta a keeper conundrum. its a 12 team, 3 player keeper league. Keepers have no max duration.

Right now I have Lacy, AJ Green, and Sammy Watkins as my 3 keepers. Have been offered CJ Anderson/Matt Forte + Jimmy Graham for Lacy.

So my thoughts are, Forte (although potentially better than Lacy on his own this year) is too old to be a good keeper and Anderson is too unproven (only half a year of good stats, with 3 other capable RB's right behind him). So I think I prefer to keep Lacy and Watkins vs any combination of the above.

Would anyone go for Graham + Anderson or Forte?

Keep Lacy. Do not make that trade. Graham isn't even that great and he's not in a very good situation.

Alright so we're at:

Steve??

We'll 100% do Yahoo. Anyone else? Minimum 10 or its not worth it. Prefer 12-14. Anyone know if Mike is a Football guy? Thomas?

I'll do a free league, I will suck.

Graham is an exceptional receiving TE, but equally terrible as an inline TE. Guy seriously can't block for shit. You are correct though that he is not in a good situation. He's reallynot that great of a fit for Seattle's offense and any receiver would take a major statistical hit going from the Saints offense with Breed throwing them the ball to Seattle and Russell. My guess is people will still over draft him.

I need some advice on another keeper league. Pick 3 of these 4. Whatever player i keep i have to give up 3 draft rounds to keep that player. ie. I drafted Mark Ingram round 9 so i would have to use up a 6th rounder to keep him

Mark Ingram round 9
Jordan Mathews FA round 20
Latavius Murray FA
Martavis Bryant FA

Who should i keep here?

Jordan Matthews is an easy one. Murray should be kept as well as he should be a RB#2. The decision really comes down to Ingram and Bryant. Ingram should dominate the early down carries and goal line touches with low end RB#1 upside. Bryant dropped in the NFL draft for a reason and it's because he can't run routes. With Antonio Brown on the other side it many not matter because he can beat single coverage deep. Guess it depends on your league settings. Neither are great options in a PPR league.

Yea, I agree with you. Bryant is interesting. apparently he put on some weight and has been training like mad on his running. Running in sand.

What are the settings? I can give you a better answer if I know the scoring settings.

How can i show you the scoring and setting when it is like 3 pages long on yahoo?

Doesn't really benefit either. I'd say Ingram probably has a better season, but I don't fully trust him with his injury history and he finally broke out in a contract year. Even with Ingram having a better statistical year I would probably go with Bryant's upside over Ingram with the knowledge that he could completely bust as well.

I'm in if this is happening.

To the OP, keep Lacy. Anderson should be good but is a question mark on the future without PM. Forte is toast at this point in his career, and Graham should take a big plunge out of NOLA now. I don't like Watkins but I'd rather keep Lacy and him then Anderson+Graham.

Forte isn't toast so much as Trestman is great for RB's stats. He will take a hit in a new offense.

He'll fall off a cliff one of these years. I think he's still an RB1 this season, but I'd be very weary of him for the future. Even this year I'd only touch him in a PPR.

He will take a bigger hit in ppr league than standard imo.
