You would need to stay up tonight and see if he plays. If not you can take him away and put your new guy in whenever you want.

Makes no difference. Once you have him in at TE and the game is played he will lock in there.

Well yeah that's more or less what I said (well the grammar nazi in me says I probably should've put a comma after take him away but still). Another thing he could be asking is whether he can leave the TE slot blank tonight, which I'm pretty sure you can do as I've seen games played in which people don't notice their only defense is on the bench.

Yup you will.. you can sub players in as long as they haven't played yet so long as you can actually leave the spot empty.. I don't know if you able to actually do that though so..


On a side note - I knew the android app was bad but tried using there on my tablet and literally no buttons work at all.. whoever designed it should be fired asap and never let near being a programmer ever again..

Pretty sure you can just move him to the bench tonight, leave the TE slot empty, and add someone there on Saturday.

I left a DEF on the bench by accident last year with the slot empty, and it stayed on the bench.

You've always been able to move players before their game starts, so I would've thought you could just move one in to the empty TE slot.

FYI: This worked out ok. Left Witten on the bench and claimed Ed Dickson from Waivers who is now in my lineup for the weekend. Thanks to all who responded...

somehow managed to find myself in a 16 man 2 QB auction keeper league that drafts this saturday. the standard is quite high with a few US football writers involved. I have never done a 2 QB league, an auction draft or a keeper one so to say its all new to me is an understatement.

Anyway budget of 220,

arian foster costs 33 to keep, greg jennings 34, vernon davis 17. Foster is valued at 87, jennings at 62, davis at 18 in the projected auction costs. I presume the value from foster and jennings means I should keep them? Davis im not sure about, i see him having a much better season this year so would like him just not sure at that price is there value to be had.

any help would be appreicated

Keep foster and Jennings. You can get Olsen for cheap and will have a similar season if not a little better fantasy wise to Davis. Also there are plenty of other te's at his level so you won't be much worse.

Foster and Jennings are both 'studs'.

What is your total budget? Is the 220 what you have left after keeping the above guys or is it pre keeping any of them?

If the 220 is the total budget definitely keep Foster and Jennings and Davis. Still leaves you with a healthy share to spend on other players.

You sure you mean Vernon Davis? Davis was the 8th highest scoring TE in Fantasy last season. And at a cost of 17 is good value. Olsen is good but fantasy wise Id say he will still score 30 odd less than Davis will.

No chance. Remember panthers have dropped shockey in the off season a look at the qb's. Olsen has a 'stud' throwing to him. Olsen is the biggest sleeper at te but if you can keep the 3 do. I just think there is plenty better value at te if you can only keep 2

I agree to some extent but the fact he has Davis at 17 bills if other people see Olsen the same way you do and he drops Davis he will end up paying the same or more for Olsen. Davis is a better TE and last year was somewhat of a drop for compared to the seasons previous. Davis is a proven Tight End both at Fantasy and real levels.

Olsen has yet to fully prove himself at Fantasy level. If you take a punt on Olsen and he fails to live up to what everyone expects and puts up average numbers again you lose out. Seems daft to make that gamble. Everyone is thinking Olsen will put up big numbers and he has gone early enough in all drafts so far so everyone is watching him and gambling on the what ifs.

If it was a normal draft and the big guys went already including Davis I would say grab Olsen quickly but my money would be on Davis to have a better season fantasy wise and I even think he will have a bigger year than the last 3 seasons.

Also dont forget the market is probably already shallow at Tight End the fact its a keeper league

Have you done an auction draft yet?

Here is the Top 12 Ranked Tight Ends in Fantasy from 2011 in an Auction Draft I did with a bunch of American coaches there last week. Olsen would be further down the list but I threw him in there to show you what I mean. As you can see I can't see much better value than Davis at 17 unless you want to try gamble on getting one of the below cheaper the way some of the lads did in this draft.

Gronk 40
Graham 43
Hernandez 30
Gonzalez 21
Finley 30
Witten 12
Gates 13
Davis 17
Celek 5
Keller 16
Pettigrew 10
Fred Davis 15

Olsen 12

BigBadRob83

Those prices look interesting, would much prefer Gates to Davis straight up, and if you could get him cheaper great!

Guffy

Witten gates, Pettigrew, Olsen all cheaper. Again if you can keep all 3 great but how can anyone recommend dropping foster or Jennings?

Those 3 were cheaper only because most wasted too much money on the better guys but that is the beauty of an auction draft and the gamble of an auction draft. Some guys in the league im in have just average Tight ends because they refused to bid high on tight ends and bid high elsewhere and ended up losing the other 3 guys to folk who had money left in their kitty at the end.

And with those prices you would be a fool to drop foster or jennings because they will definitely sell for a lot more if they hit the open market.

Big time and the budget was only 200. Very interesting draft to say the least and its a 16 man League.

ye total budget is 220, i figured id keep these 3 and also akers at a dollar. Jennings costs 38 not 34, either way i will have used 89/220 of my budget.

2 qb league so i presume most of the QB´s will be kept. One guy has brady and brees so doubt he will give up either. If all the good QB´s are gone I think its going to be nigh on impossible to win though.

Trippie

sh#t, just realised i will be playing rugby at the draft time today, is there anyone able to draft for me in the 16 man, 2 QB auction keeper league. draft will be at 12pm or am i guess irish time, it would be much appreciated, literally willing to sign control of the team over as well if you want. pm me please
