Fantasy Football Advice

Barkley can catch the ball, which is great in a PPR league as it keeps his production up and he cant get 'game-flowed' out of action.

My only real criticism of Gordon is I think he is inefficient, objectively in his yards per carry isn't that great but subjectively in that the games I've seen him play he always seem to run up the backs of his lineman or goes down with a one-arm tackle or something that makes me think he leaves yards on the field.

Anybody have any sleeper picks? I was thinking Marquise Goodman from San Fran might be decent. He's looking pretty sharp in preseason and Jimmy G seems comfortable throwing to him. I don't have a ton of faith in Garcon either.I might end up using him at the FLEX position against poor pass coverage teams.I picked him up off waivers in my 8 team league. TE is always a weird position too. I ended up going with Jimmy Graham hoping that he becomes an end zone target for Aaron Rodgers. All the top TE"s were gone by the time I got around to filling the position.


I have some 'value' players I'm targeting, in the sense that they should out-produce their draft position. In this day and age with everyone and his brother playing FF, I don't know if there are any true sleepers left.

I do like Goodwin as well.

The funny part is, I'm pretty high on him for this year and he probably will be on my team. But I think I might just go Gurley or DJ in the first.....crazy I know.

In every mock I’ve done, Watkins is sitting there in the 7th/8th/9th rounds. Usually sitting at the top of best available for a while. If you like him, that’s fine, but you should be able to nab him decently late in your draft.

In the words of Pryzbylewski’s father-in-law on The Wire, he just kind of sits there like the bad pierogi on the plate.

Yes, all joking aside, I like Watkins to be a better relative value that taking Tyreek Hill in the 3rd or 4th round, (WR12 on average) which is pretty much where you'd have to take him if you want him. No thanks.

Watkins in the 7th to 9th sounds a lot better.

PPR. Per the bolded, how fucked am I?

Drafted 3. Gurley was there so I had to take him. Came back to me with Cook on the board and AB, Hopkins, ODB, Julio, AJ Green, Thomas and Keenan Allen were all taken. It came down to Adams or Cook. I went with Cook. At that point, most WR left were all a dime a dozen.
