Apolyton Fantasy Football (not soccer damnit)

Same.

9:55 CDT is BAPAY time. Just sayin'.

[Ben Kenobi]

Crisis averted. BAPAY streak is preserved.

As we approach the Meaningless Reserves portion of the draft, info like this becomes relevant...



That knee is totally blown up.

That is a knee that had an internal suicide pact. That is a whatshisname the RB from South Carolina knee injury.

My $300 10-team auction was tonight. Here's my team:



Cam, MJD, Ray Rice, Brandon Marshall, Jimmy Graham... yeah buddy.

[Jaguar]

That team is insane.

For 300 dollars, your most expensive dude was Rice at 49? Wow. Highway robbery.

[Jaguar]

Yeah, this pretty much nails it. All of your best dudes went for way too cheap. Jimmy Graham alone is probably worth $50.

[Al B. Sure!]

I got him when the market was still unsure of itself. Here's the guys more expensive than Rice:

AP: $82
Foster: $82
Calvin: $77
Lynch: $76
McCoy: $73
Drew Brees: $69
Alfred Morris: $66
Rodgers: $64
Julio Jones: $58
CJ Spiller: $53
Peyton: $51

There's some psychology to things, too, with price points. People like to set bid limits right at a 0 or a 5. For example, Frank Gore, Jamaal Charles, Larry Fitz, Dez Bryant, Matt Stafford, and Tom Brady all went for $45.

Expensive for a lower end. Gore went in the mid third round here... Fitz for 45 is a terrible bid. He didn't even make my list and I'm still drafting players off my top 30s.

[Al B. Sure!]

Fitz for 45 is a terrible bid. He didn't even make my list and I'm still drafting players off my top 30s.

You're regurgitating your Fitz hate to 2013 now too?


But I do wonder if I got Rice for 49, Marshall for 39, and Nelson for 19 only because people thought moving to 50, 40, or 20 was just too much

[Ben Kenobi]

You're regurgitating your Fitz hate to 2013 now too?

When a player is your 2nd round pick, isn't injured, plays a full season and turns in at WR 36, yes, yes the hate will continue. Fitz at 45 assumes that he's a top 5 WR. Terrible value.

And yes, I still have 5 players ranked above Fitz on my list of 40, and I still have a player available in my top 30 WRs. Even if I were to draft another WR - it's uncertain whether Fitz would even get to the top of my list in the 16th round.

You do realize it wasn't on him, right? That it was John Skelton, Ryan Lindley, and your boy Kevin Kolb, right? Guess who's not there anymore and who is? A guy who's not that great but was a 4000 yard passer last year capable of completing more than 55% of his passes...

Fitz is a top-20 WR this year. Book it.

I'm still not paying WR3 prices for a WR35. Even if you think that he'll rebound - there's supposed to be a discount placed on this. Paying retail for Fitz is just plain dumb.

Look - Fitz was the third highest priced WR this year in your draft. He was (if I'm reading your chart correctly), also the 12th highest player. I have 3 WRs slotted that high - Calvin Johnson, Cobb and Marshall.

My list went:

Peterson (2.54x.75) [1.905] x 1
Brees (1.80x1.0) [1.815] x 1

Manning (1.51x1.0) [1.51] x1
Ryan (1.47x 1.0) [1.47] x 1
Rodgers (1.46 x 1.0) [1.46] x1
Foster (1.71 x .75) [1.25] x 1
Martin (1.68 x .75) [1.20] x 1
Marshall (1.98 x .60) [1.18] x1
Cobb (1.78 x .60) [1.068] x1
Rice (1.18 x .75) [.88] x1
Lynch (1.17 x .75) [.876] x1
CJohnson (1.44 x .6 [.86] x1
Brady (1.53x1.0) [.78] x 1 x 0.5
WWelker (1.26 x .6) [.756] x1
TGonzalez (1.50 x .5) [.75] x1

Ranking goes like this: Basevalue xPositionvalue x1/tier x1/Belichick.

Fitz is around 30 QBs, 40 RBs, 40 WRs, 10 TEs, around 120th pick on my chart. Meaning I would expect to draft him in the 12th round. I still have players in the 90s.
Welker I had ranked ahead of him.
