BillBuckners .5 PPR tiered rankings

[billbuckner]

Found myself with some time on my hands while my daughter is taking a nap so I did a quick runthrough of the RB rankings. There's a ton of personal bias in here. Let me know if I left anyone obvious off the list.

12-team league? How much $ for how many slots?

12-team league? How much $ for how many slots?

12 teams - 1 QB, 2 RB 3 WR 1 Flex TE K D 6 bench

$200 cap - I edited out the $ values because those were just Yahoo default values. They're useful for me but probably confusing in this post.

Hmmm some thoughts (and I'll assume a lot of this is your personal bias)

Too High:
McFadden - Even if he stays healthy I like McCoy better but that is a BIG IF.
Reggie Bush - Don't believe the hype... opportunity is one thing, ability is another.
Hightower - Not a feature back plain and simple and playing for the Shanny's means he'll lose carries to the ball boy or hot dog vendor at some point. This one is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too high for me

Too Low:
Blount - Ok you get 0.5PPR and he won't catch balls but he is gonna easily pass 1000 this year.
Ingram - Believe the hype... ability is one thing, opportunity is another

Thanks for the feedback. I think McFadden and McCoy do belong in the same tier. I admit that I may have bumped Bush and Hightower too high based on preseason hype.

Blount I'll probably avoid because as you said, he's one-dimensional. I'm sure I have him underrated but even if I bump him a bit someone else will probably end up with him.

As for Ingram I'll let someone else overpay for a hyped rookie in a timeshare.

Thanks again for your comments. Very helpful.

I'm very similar with respect to rookies if it's a redraft league. THe hyped ones tend to get drafted well above where I have them valued. For example in your rankings, I think Ingram will get drafted around DWilly/Bradshaw whereas I would rank him around Greene/Blount territory.

Actually, I could use the $ values - I'm auctioning Saturday 9/10.

Obviously not set in stone, but I'm planning to spend the bulk of my $$ on RBs. I'm going to try to not purchase any WRs for more than $20ish and no QBs for more than $10ish unless something falls into my lap.
