Discussion 2018 NFL RDT Dream Team Discussion

[KLo30]

Whilst we have the attention of our active members I'll kick start this thread for the coming season. Last season we had a RDT NFL league which I like to run again. Depending on interest we can also look at running draft leagues on RDT, ESPN and/or NFL.

Please express your interest here and we'll get the ball rolling.

Go Cowboys!

I’m in for RDT. probably not for draft as I play in another draft league already.

I'm in if you'll have me.
I'm usually a SCC fantasy guy but no-one there is particularly interested in the RDT NFL Fantasy.
It'd be great to be in a league with you.

[IDIG]

I’m in but will warn everyone I will probably struggle!

Moving this over to the main board to help get it filled in time.

 

[Pearcey47]

I will be in for RDT salary-based league.

Not yet. Looks like an 8 team league at this stage (rather than a 14). I'll create it tomorrow and post the code. I'll also post some rankings to help people from ESPN PPR Rankings.

I'm happy to critic teams when posted.

 

[jaca]

I’m overseas and busy for a few days, please save a spot for me.

Get involved guys, this site is good for more than just SC fantasy chat!

If anyone is interested - and I assume people are - there are lots of websites and podcasts devoted to NFL fantasy. Although they are draft-based the information is still good for salary cap games.

One resource which I have found incredibly helpful in understanding the game itself are the FilmDon'tLieUniversity videos on Youtube:

 

[IDIG]

Me thinks Ken might have a bit of competition this year ?

3 more needed to fill the league. I might be able to find someone keen if needed. Pretty sure he’s never played salary but is an NFL expert (played college ball over there).

Count me in. Should be a lot of fun and might increase my interest in the sport.

Also would it be possible to get some advice/thoughts on my current team:

QB: A Rodgers, T Brady, (P Mahomes)
RB: D Johnson, D Cook, R Burkhead, S Barkley, (R Freeman, J Wilkins)
WR: A Brown, O Beckham JR, D Adams, D Baldwin, C Hogan, K Cole (C Goodwin, DJ Moore)
TE: T Burton, D Njoku, (G Kittle)
K: P Dawson, (S Janikowski)

The one thing that really stands out is that Mahomes seems wasted on the bench. Would put him on field, drop Brady and use the extra $$$ elsewhere.
Also think Baldwin might be injured (or at least returning from injury).
