NFL (since 2016)

Post crystal falace »

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

"if we were doping PPR id have made a point of targeting Edelamn and james white as they are going to be target monsters this year especially as the first round received they drafted is now on IR with multiple problems and cant come back for 8 weeks. Really excited to see Sony Michel this season, he was playing with a niggling knee injury for most of last season after coming of an ACL in college, he looked to have more quickness and burst this preseason and i'd imagine they will be leaning on him (and the rest of the ridiculously deep running back stable) alot more this year"

"Shame the Jets have no cornerbacks to speak of, can try and pressure Brady all they want but awful hard to get there when the ball is en rout to an open Edelman in under 3 seconds"

"I don't know about all of this fantasy malarkey, but I do know that we're just a day away from the start of the season in which the Jets' D-line is going after Brady. The wrecking balls that are Len and Quinnen Williams, coached by Gregg Williams, are not going to let Brady's ageing knees dictate the AFC East quite so easily this year. It'll be one heck of a battle, that match-up."

"crystal, this bloke couldn't be bothered to turn up for the draft, has kamara, mixon & david johnson as RBs yet he thought lamar jackson (I already have deshaun watson/kyler murray) or jordan reed (I already have kittle) for thomas (my no1 pick) was a fair trade. he can fuck off"

"Thomas has the potential to be the WR1 this season but i wouldnt want to have all my eggs in 1 team's basket any bad week or especially the bye week and you'll be in a lot of trouble. Plus i try not to have players i'm too attached to as it can cause bias, i took Brady last year and his numbers really werent great for fantasy but i stuck with him all year to probably my detriment"

"weird how some managers in leagues behave. drafted my final team and picked eighth, so missed the best running backs but was happy picking thomas at wr. draft finishes and the prick who picked second got kamara, but now also wants thomas because he supports the saints"

"Yeah i was expecting to pick a QB up later on which is what all the ""experts"" say you should do but there was such a mad rush on QBs and i had to sit there for 20 or so picks powerless to do anything. Have seen plenty of people tipping Lamar Jackson to have a huge year this season (fantasy wise at least because of his running) so glad i could at least get him."

"You should just have a whole defence that you've taken, i assume if you were on autodraft you will have been the first team to take a defence as it just fills all your starting slots first so i'd assume you got the bears"

"Despite not doing the draft in person I am pretty happy with the result. I have ended up with offensive players only, Is this normal or have I misunderstood how the game works? It had also picked a few off my pre-draft watch list (Drew Brees, LaVeon Bell, Tyreek Hill etc.). Suppose this was no accident either."

"I went receiver/receiver at the very end of the first round so stockd up on RBs, plus the last 2 i took were complete dart throws in case someone got injured."

"happy with the team but shows how much harder it gets with those two extra teams, and when one manager (crystal) picks ten RBs :.)"

Yeah I'm not too unhappy about it. He was who I wanted if I couldn't have Wentz. Not sure what their OL is like this year

"From a roster that was already very thin on talent, my Dolphins have traded away Laremy Tunsil, Kenny Stills and Kiko Alonso in the past 48 hours. Looks like the 2019 #FishTank is actually a thing."

Bit frustrating having multiple patriots fans in the draft stealing a few of the pats players i would have liked Took a few big risks late in the draft with some handcuff running backs There was an unusually early run on quarterbacks but i still got 2 of the guys i was keen on

"Hermit - I nicked Wentz, everyone piled into the QBs early so it was a pick under pressure. Got some decent strength in depth but quite a few of my key people got picked up by other teams. Got to love the Niners fan taking the Seahawks I was planning on - Carson, Wilson haha."

I didn't have much of a strategy other than filling positions first. The individuals I wanted were always gone by the time that position came up.
