JP's NFL/Fantasy Thread/NCAA

I'm probably down for a league, especially if done through ESPN because I'm lazy and already am in leagues there

Updated to include NCAA since I know Whale is big on college football.

Is anyone else down for a league? We need a few more people. I'm looking for at least 8 people.

You wasted a pick with Jay Cutler.  I will probably start Sam Bradford over him, if for my own dislike rather than anything else.  I didn't really pick him up all too early so it wasn't wasted... that badly.

I would drop Cutler all together and get someone else. Maybe Freeman if he's available. Stafford is always risk for injury, and Cutler is not a quality insurance policy.

Okay. So I made it on Yahoo. but I have no clue how to invite people into the league. Right now its a 10 man standard, and draft is on Saturday Sep 3(?) at 7pm. If you guys want PPR, change the draft date, change the site, or w.e, just let me know.

EDIT: I changed it to Yahoo. ESPN is being a nazi when it comes to editing the settings after making them. So I changed it so I can change the settings to the majorities liking if need be.

Whale. I'd say pick up Tate as an RB. Foster is been injured twice so far since the preseason and his owner might be willing to trade for the handcuff for his #1 pick. If not, and Foster misses sometime early, then at least you get a temporary #2 maybe even #1 RB production.

Just pick up Javon Ringer as a safety net.

And what players were available for you to keep for your league? I'm only asking since Shaub isn't the strongest QB for fantasy. He's good, but not top tier.

I just don't like Shaub's tendency to turn the ball over, but his production is still good. Him and Ben are not too far apart fantasy wise IMO, so you'd be good no matter who you picked. I would actually kept Holmes since I like picking up more underrated QBs late like Stafford, McCoy and Freeman. That way I have a #1 to use for trades.

Still need more people for the fantasy. I can push the draft if needed.
