JayOzOne Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I found this to be an interesting take. The speaker didn't even mention Todd Gurley. But if you tend to be a homer when you draft your fantasy squads, this might be the year for you. Lowndesfalc and MilleniumFalcon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethal Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I stacked last year with Ryan, Julio and Free and got immediately Koetter'd. Fool me once... slick0ne, MilleniumFalcon, PokerSteve and 9 others 4 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowndesfalc Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I have overdrafted Falcons players the past two seasons. Probably will this season too. 😂 I mean lightning has to strike eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayOzOne Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 I get scooped for Julio by two or three picks every year. I try to get Ryan every year with no success; QBs always start running early in my league. Last year, some idjit drafted four starting QBs hoping to hamper other players and force trades. The only Bird I've ever had on a FF team was Ridley last season. gtech1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantafan21 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Those are all great choices tho ngl. Was gonna come in here saying I prolly wouldn’t stack on falcons lol. The only real big gamble, unless u take Ridley early for some reason, is Gurley and Ryan. It’s an even-numbered year tho so expect Matt to eat.

kiwifalcon Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Just an efficient running game please. Just not a pedestrian predictable farce we’ve seen the last few years please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Chief Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 If some offensive linemen from more opponents team keep opting out it could be good for the Falcons defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwickha2 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I usually avoid Falcons players because of my obvious bias and go straight rankings unless the value is too good to pass up. But it was always funny back in the day when we had Roddy and Tony Gonzalez that the experts would have Julio and Roddy both ranked in the Top 15 fantasy WRs and Tony would be Top 3 or 5 for TEs but Matt Ryan would be QB12. Like how does that work? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snafu Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I target Matt every year. In my cash league he typically lasts until round 6 or 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boise Falcon Fan Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I try to draft MR & JJ every year. Last 2 years, I've had to trade with a really desperate team to get him. (Their season was going off the rails, and I sold them on the potential of a couple of guys.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a ridiculous 14 teams last year and the top 10 QBs were all snagged up halfway into round 4. I'm going to target my QB (whoever it may be) by round 3 this time.

Dirtybird3 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I've got Matt just about every year I've done fantasy, and no sooner than the 7th round at that. The first year I didn't I stacked Tony Romo and Demarco Murray and it won me the chip. I rarely get the chance to stack julio but I did trade for him our sb run season right before he started his TD steak after going like 8 weeks without one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayOzOne Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 I stacked Brees and Thomas last season but it didn't help. I lost three starters in the first two weeks and in a league with a lot of teams, you're lucky to replace a starter who projects to 14.5 ppg with a backup who would be lucky to get 6. And when the bye weeks started, I was dropping 9 ppg guys to pick up players who scored less than 5 ppg. My season was over as soon as it started. I changed my name to John Wick's Dog in week 8. I was still lucky to score ~120 points some weeks but the teams I played would have three guys who scored 100 between them. It was a brutal season.

JayOzOne Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Drafted Julio in round 2 today and Ridley in round 6. Hurst stuck around until the next to last round so I snatched him up as my TE2. My starters are +2.2 projected for this week and at least +10 over every other team in an 8 team league. Liking my odds. 🤩 KCFalcon22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCFalcon22 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I have Matt, Julio, n Gurley as starters. BHill n Hurst stashed on the bench. If we are trailing it will be a really good year.

JayOzOne Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Just noticed that my nephew (Bengals fan) has Ryan and Gurley. I don't know where Gurley came off the board but he was gone before I could circle him for my next pick. Surprised he didn't draft Joe Burrow and I'm going to give him the business about it.
