Fantasy Football question (s)

Terrence McGee is a good option as well.

Terrence McGee BUF

That is the guy i'm talking about. He's a great returns man, and also gets tackles and INTs to make him worth taking.

By the way... strongly consider picking up Devin Hester if you can. Again, returns count for a lot in your league, and if he plays any meaningful WR this year he'll be a reasonably high scorer assuming he has a decent return year (which he will... please ... hope ... )

I'd definitely suggest one more RB for you, if you can, instead of some other backup. You will need a 3rd RB twice this year, and Dunn may or may not have a shot at it depending on his injuries... especially the first few weeks while he's out.

My wife picked him up already

dang

Oops...

It's probably not that big of a difference, really, though i'd have to see the site to actually tell the specific difference. You have higher points per return yard than we do (lower return yards per point rather) in Poly2 so I would assume he ranks higher than he does in ours (though you give higher points for tackles as well, so that might negate that advantage... not sure, depends on turnovers and how many return yards he gets compared to tackles.

Definitely not Peppers, only because he only makes 50 tackles a year or so...

Moving from DL to LOLB.

[snoopy369]

They don't play tampa 2 though do they? LOLBs don't get that many tackles compared to a MLB except in the tampa 2 ...

[SlowwHand]

How may sacks did he have last year on the line? 11? 13? Now he gets to back up and flow more.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Hey Slow, do you have anything saying Peppers will be a LB this season? I'm not doubting you, but I'm trying to find the story.

[snoopy369]

Either way, sacks is not what makes your player good. Tackles >>>>>sacks in Fantasy.

Points per tackle: 2
Points per sack: 3

Tackles per season, good MLB: 100
Sacks per season, record: 22.5

Just look at where Merriman gets drafted, and how many points he scores per year. Sack specialists give up way too many tackles to get the sacks, for them to be valuable in fantasy.

[SlowwHand]

I forget where I saw it. I thought it was nfl. If it was, I've lost it due to their changes.

[Grandpa Troll]

Yeah, all I could pick up was a DLE on the Panthers website

I shall check as well

[Zopperoni]

Even if he does get moved around, he'll likely get an Adalius Thomas / Terrell Suggs-type role, which is more of a hybrid construction...

[SlowwHand]

All I'm saying is, Peppers is only getting better.
He had 13 sacks, 53 solo tackles and 3 forced fumbles.
They're structuring their defense to play off his strength.
Someone explain to me his downside. I'll take the gamble.

By all means, I think Julius Peppers is the best defensive player in football, and the best defensive end since Michael Strahan's prime (and maybe since Bruce Smith and Reggie White.)

He's just not good in Grandpa Troll's fantasy league. Simple math: a good MLB can record 100 solo tackles, 50 more what Peppers makes. In GT's league, those 50 solo tackles are worth 100 points. To make up for those 100 points, Peppers would need to record over 30 sacks, shattering the all-time record to pieces.

It's just not feasible to take a defensive lineman in that sort of fantasy setup, even if he's an unholy cross between Deacon Jones and Clark Kent.

/me is scared of jaguar's unholy lineman...
