    Chubb or Clement? Or Ekeler?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      In PPR – Clement

        Damn did not realize you boys so high on Emanuel Sanders!
        Passed on him in auction to save room for miller and Sutton.
        Listened to Sunday’s show this morning haha.

          You should of been using the cheat sheet Grimey, He is nice and high on all of them.

    Melvin Gordon seems a little bit lower on the cheat sheet then I’ve been seeing him go in mocks. With a keeper of Kamara in the 12th round (thank you guys from last year!!!) I am looking at probably Hunt, Fournette, M Gordon, or Julio. Would you guys adjust the sheet any, already having Kamara in the bag, or stick to the plan?

    I also don’t feel very much confidence in Julio going into this year, am I crazy?

    12 team standard

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Stick to the plan! If you don’t like Julio, take Keenan- players touching on the sheet are acceptable maneuvers

      1. ↓ Post By MikeVegas

        I like this slight flexibility.

    2. ↓ Post By FrankGrimes

      Adjust the magical maniacal mysterious sheet?
      I’d stick to the plan. Let’s get this shit started!

    The sheet has left me at both of my drafts. One 2qb league and one 14 man standard. Both end up going WR heavy and crap running backs.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Let’s see the results?

    Hey guys, I have a keeper question. 12 team ppr. I can keep 3, so I am keeping Kareem Hunt in the 3rd round and Michael Thomas in the 8th round. Then I need to decide whether to keep Alshon Jeffery in the 7th, Derrick Henry in the 7th, Kirk Cousins in the 10, or Julian Edelman in the 16th. I’m leaning towards Edelman unless you guys have a better plan for me. Because you guys led me to the championship last season, I draft 12th.

    1. ↓ Post By eyak29

      Edelman will be good nice he comes back from suspension. It would be him or Henry and since it’s ppr I would probably lean towards Julian

    Just want yalls expert rational why higher on J. Gordon than J. Landry I mean doesn’t Landry just blessem?

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      The cheat sheet isn’t a rankings sheet. It also considers where a player is currently being drafted and where you can get best value on him.

  6. ↓ Post By Austin Benedict

    Did CJ Anderson drop on the PPR cheat sheet? Got him in the draft last Tuesday, but he was buried last night.

  7. ↓ Post By berms

    Good morning,

    Last year you had the likes of Martavis Bryant and Devante Parker ranked high and of course both found there way on both of my teams way too early in the draft. Looking at this years ranking, I’m getting the feeling that JU JU may be this years Bryant. What do you think? With Parker’s ranking this year, I may give him another shot.

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      Ju ju is locked into a major role in Pittsburg. He’s going to produce less he gets injured. Stills is the dolphin wr I’d rather own. If you go for parker, it shouldn’t be a reach

    Curious, how do you guys differentiate between the PPR cheat sheet and the Standard cheat sheet? I don’t know if I agree with such a drop off in Gronk/Kelce from PPR to Standard.

    I’m in .5PPR leagues, and I tend to use the PPR cheat more often than the standard. When I look at the standard and see guys like Marvin Jones and Amari Cooper way ahead of Gronk/Kelce, I don’t really see the reasoning for that. Even Sammy Watkins? No way I’d take them over Gronk if he was still available in the 2nd or 3rd rounds of a 12-team league.

    Can you guys offer any insight on that? Thanks! Btw, great work. Not trying to sound like a know-it-all by any means.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      It’s not necessarily supposed to make sense to you. It’s not rankings. It’s leverage versus ADP. If you’re in the business of drafting TEs early, you are on the wrong website. We like to make money at RosterWatch.

      1. ↓ Post By pbatts11

        Thanks,

        No, I have never drafted a TE early. I was just basing it off of a scenario where say Gronk is available, but by the standard cheat sheet it’s telling me to draft guys like mentioned above ahead of him. The main question got lost though, as to why the PPR cheat sheet has them so much higher vs the standard. But I get it… Just trust it, don’t ask how the sausage is made.

        I’ve been using the cheat sheet for 3 years now, and am happy with the results. Appreciate the feedback.

        1. ↓ Post By eyak29

          All pass catcher get a boost in ppr

    2. ↓ Post By CJNayNay007

      Hey pbatts, I made a combination sheet where I averaged the results for the PPR vs. Standard if you are interested. I also have a 0.5 PPR league and prefer the PPR cheat sheet over the standard.

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        LOL this is MANIACAL!!!! LOVE IT!!! It just depends on how your league drafts vs ADP. The Standard sheet is rigorously tested vs .5 PPR ADPs and Standard ADPs. The PPR sheet is mostly tested vs PPR ADPs, however both are dialed in an either will work just fine.

    Keeper Question for everyone.

    PPR. Two Keepers.

    I can keep:

    Devante Adams – 13th Round
    Tyreek Hill – 14th Round
    Josh Gordon – 15th or 16th Round
    Deshaun Watson 15th or 16th Round

    Watson/Gordon – both 16th round unless I keep both of them, one becomes a 15th round keeper.

    Who would you keep. I’m leaning Adams and Hill.

    I have the 4th overall pick., in a snake draft.

    1. ↓ Post By Oldschool92

      Kyla Cole-Great options…I would go Adams and Tyfreak and not worry for a second in PPR.

    2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      I’d keep Adams and Hill

  10. ↓ Post By Oldschool92

    Has James Conner shown enough in preseason to be considered the true handcuff for Leveon Bell? Assuming Jaylen Samuels makes the team is he more of a future rookie keeper player than a redraft player now?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      No, much like Gurley w/ Brown and Kelly- we wouldn’t handcuff him. If he goes down it will be a split time, and we would just pick up the second guy that nobody is thinking about- Samuels in this case esp in PPR

  11. ↓ Post By johnmholmes84@gmail.com

    Why is Landry so low on your ppr cheatsheet? Seems very low compared to other rankings. And Mckinnon and Rashad Penny seem kind of high. Thoughts?

  12. ↓ Post By CJNayNay007

    Better fantasy draft start for 0.5 PPR. Barkley and AJ Green or Kamara and Keenan Allen?

    1. ↓ Post By eyak29

      I don’t think you can go wrong with either. Both are very good starts

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        But, yes completely agree w/ eyak here

    2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Kamara and Allen

  13. ↓ Post By The Emperor

    I am being offered Doctson and Eifert for Robert Woods. PPR 12 team dynasty. My TEs are Kittle, Akins, and Jonnu Smith. My WRs are M.Thomas NO, Gallup, Michael DAL WR (R) , Hurns, Allen DAL WR, Jackson, DeSean TBB WR, Nelson, J.J. ARI WR, Reynolds, Josh LAR WR, Taylor, Taywan TEN WR, Thomas, Michael NOS WR, Williams, Terrance DAL WR,Woods, Robert LAR WR. Should I do this?

  14. ↓ Post By JOEBERMAN

    Hi gents! In NONPPR, would you drop Cj Anderson to pickup Chubb, Morris, Ivory, Clement or Sutton (please rank them if they’re a “yes” ). Nonppr. Thanks men!! 🙂 thx guys

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Prob not in standard, maybe for Ivory if I owned Shady. Otherwise, I’d go for Sutton if I needed / wanted a WR instead of CJA on my bench

  15. ↓ Post By Rusty

    Does anyone recommend the PPR cheat sheet for 0.5 PPR leagues over the standard/0.5ppr?

    1. ↓ Post By eyak29

      No way.

      1. ↓ Post By Rusty

        Thanks e

  16. ↓ Post By joebrowngolf@gmail.com

    Just wanted to check. Did you guys do a QB match up/Strength of Defense sheet this year? I remember last year it was really cool to mix and match QB’s throughout the year based on the season long match ups. Last year I know it showed that stacking like Flacco, and Dalton, could have paid off because their tough/easy match ups were always opposite of each other. Just wanted to ask. Thanks again for all of the great content.

    Pretty hyped after my final draft – 10 team, redraft, .5 ppr, auction, short bench

    QB: WIlson ($7), Brees ($1)
    RB: Hunt ($42), Cook ($41), Drake ($6), Ingram ($7), Royce Free ($10), Mack ($1)
    WR: M Thomas ($34), Cooper ($21), Hogan ($10)… I’ll be picking up Miller on waivers
    TE: Kelce ($26)… traded Alex Collins for Kelce during the draft, owner left himself with no money for a 2nd RB
    DEF: Rams ($2)

    Not sure how I was able to load up at backup RB for so cheap and Brees for $1. This isn’t a free league with noobs.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Awesome! This is the power of the Cheat Sheet at work in auction formats! Great work!

  18. ↓ Post By boricuamenace75

    Question, My wife got me an entry to the Yahoo Pro League $250 Entry, Which Cheat-sheet would you Recommend, So I can brag how the Nation will win that league? Thanks

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      You just need to determine if it is a PPR or Standard or .5 PPR scoring format. You can find that in your league scoring settings. Also double to check to see if it’s a 2QB or Super Flex format that allows a 2nd QB- unlikely that it does.

      Then just download the appropriate Draft Cheat Sheet (Standard / .5 PPR, PPR, 2QB/SuperFlex) and follow the 3 simple rules! My Mom did it two nights ago, and my sister-in-law did it last night. Both crushed. My Mom’s first time ever to play fantasy and my sis-in-law is the defending champ of her league! Cheers to a fantastic season! Thanks for your support!

    Any concerns with Le’Veon Bell and his hold out. Hearing talks that he may sit out the regular season.

    1. ↓ Post By Oldschool92

      Leveon Bell has said he wants to make this his best statistical season ever and knowing he is free next year it makes sense. What is interesting is that the last time a team knew they couldn’t keep a player and they had a great line….they used the piss out of him and DeMarco Murray owned that year. See no reasons why the Steelers won’t want to do that to Bell this year and if the player wants his stats too….think Miami last year and 36 attempts for over a 200 yards..he might get that workload a lot….and with an offensive coordinator calling plays at the NFL level for the first time…he already want Ben to go to the line with 2 plays and let Ben call it…Leveon Bell will be the #1 PPR players this year IF he stays healthy….He might falter the first 2 weeks as he get acclimated to the NFL speed again but after that it is all systems go.

    2. ↓ Post By Trashman

      Not really, he’s done this before. you should pickup James Conner or Jaylen Samuels if you’re worried though

  20. ↓ Post By dsingh

    I know its a bit early for trades but got an offer in PPR:

    I would be getting Jamaal Williams for Robert Woods

    RBs: Fournette, Crowell, Kerryon, Wilkins and Ronald Jones
    WRs: Julio, Cooper, Juju, Sanders, Woods, Miller, Kirk, Miller, Sutton and Washington

    New cheat PPR cheat sheet today or is the current version up to date?

  22. ↓ Post By jjacobs

    We are starting a new league. What is your suggestion for how many bench players, what starting positions, PPR/.5PPR or standard ?

    Thanks for your input !

  23. ↓ Post By tf21cram

    First time trusting any cheat sheet before. I’ve used it in spots for the last two seasons but this year I went all in. Reached on Watson in the 5th (I know…) but this league has a sneaky inflated scoring for QBs:
    Watson
    DJ (k) (1)
    Zeke (k) (2)
    J. Gordon
    C. Davis
    M. Goodwin
    OJ Howard
    R Freeman
    C. Carson

    Bench
    Kerryon J
    Jordy
    J Edelman
    Golladay
    A. Miller
    D. Moore
    CJ Anderson
