bishtw Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Just got a post on FB from the Redskins: "Which Redskins are YOU drafting on your fantasy team this year? You can start & run your fantasy league through the Redskins here! http://redsk.in/NpU7II " Thought It'd be a good discussion here, although one could argue this should be in the FF forum. Sorry if it does. Ive had a tough times drafting Skins so Im jaded an leaning toward staying away because I've been burned so many times in the last few years. I drafted our defense when we signed Fat Albert, I drafted Marko Mitchell in the last round. Ive had all our running backs at one time only to have the back-up starting when I got the other. Don't get me talking about taking late round fliers on McNugget and SexyRexy. Ok I have gone with Moss in a pinch but he seems to either be great or he disappears and I play him on the later. I'm Interested in both WR PG and L.Hankerson if I can get them late, and the homer in me almost has to have RG3. What says you Redskins Nation?

LetThePointsSoar Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Ha, good topic brother. I'm scared of taking RG3 too early, I think he's going to be a stud for us, but can't determine how much fantasy value he'll still have. I think Garcon is the one to keep an eye on, I think he can be a homerun hitter for us and end up w/ 1100 yards & 7 or 8 TD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSkin Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Guys going low in drafts that seem like they have a ton of upside: Garcon, Fred Davis, and THT. Who knows how the RB position will work out, but Hightower isn't even being drafted from what I've seen. Once trianing camp gets going, things will be more clear with our RBs, but Shanahan has driven people crazy with RBs forever. I'm avoiding the RBs but I'm definitely nabbing Garcon wherever possible. I think he ends up a borderline WR1. And yeah, RG3 as backup QB all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 We have a keeper league. I kept Sleepy Davis and Roy Helu. My RB situatio is terrible and Helu was my only option with Steven Jackson. I'd take Garcon in the early rounds. I had Gaffney on my other team last year as a backup. I quit picking up our defense a long time ago. Everytime I picked them up, they wouldn't get me turnovers. I'd take RG3 as a backup to Brees (on one team) or Peyton (on another). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible_Red40 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Depending on how the preseason goes, I might take a stab at Hank in the last round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Fred Davis after the initial surge of elite TEs are taken. Helu late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorPickSix Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Davis in the high to middle roundsRG3 in the middle rounds Garcon in the lower middle rounds Helu in the lower middle rounds Hank in the late rounds This. Add Moss in with Hank in the late rounds. I had Davis and Helu last year, they put up some big weeks for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Acre Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I wonder how this thread would have gone 21 years ago. Probably a lot of early posse action with Monk and Clark, and some guy grinning ear to ear for taking Rypien in the final round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armada58 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Every Redskin is a middle to late round draft pick. I think Garcon would make the perfect #3 WR and would probably be my first Redskins off the board. Closely followed by Fred Davis. Hankerson will probably go undrafted in standard leagues not having a Redskin Fan as an owner. I'll take him in the 16th round. He'll be available. Fantasy Wise, I'm staying away from the Redskins RB's. Shanahan is fantasy owners worst nightmare when it comes to RB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chump Bailey Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Every Redskin is a middle to late round draft pick. I think Garcon would make the perfect #3 WR and would probably be my first Redskins off the board. Me too. I'm targeting Garcon as my #3 and would like to get RG3 or perhaps Davis too at some point.

LetThePointsSoar Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Depending on the league, I think Garcon would be a solid 6th or 7th round pick. I think he puts up quality #2WR numbers this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPinstripe Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Im in a keeper league, so I may take Griffin kind of high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airyx Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I normally stay away from 'skins on my FF team...only because I tend to be overly optimistic about how they will do each week. I think the only guy on the team worthy of an early round pick is Garcon...2nd round. None of the RBs, because it looks like it will be RBBC. If your points system penalizes for picks and fumbles, I wouldn't have Griffin on there either. Maybe Davis, if he manages to hold onto the starting role, but I think Cooley will take it back. Finally, the other WRs will all get looks, but a pretty even distribution, so I don't think any of them will have very big fantasy numbers. I bet Garcon gets 5-6 looks per game, Moss, Hank, Cooley, Thomas 4-5 looks per game, and Armstrong, Morgan 1-2. The D might get some good points for sacks, and an average # of turnovers. ---------- Post added July-24th-2012 at 02:23 PM ---------- I actually had Ryp on my fantasy team in 1991. I won the league.

CrypticVillain Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I say our Griffin, Any WR that is plays a lot, and our defense/special teams. Stay away from our RB unless you want to rotate them every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeluCopter29 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 RGIII late. Davis could be a good pick for TE's off the board late as a backup but I plan on taking Gronk or Graham high this year. ---------- Post added July-24th-2012 at 03:31 PM ---------- Garcon also isn't a bad pick. Just gotta be careful with when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE HAMMER'IN HOG Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Fred Davis in the 5th or 6thRG3 in the 7th or 8th My thoughts exactly probably the only 2 you can count on on a weekly basis, RG3 late is a good backup plan and a wait and see type pick cheap. Cooley could be a prob for Davis's numbers though, after that you will have to wait and see who becomes RG3's go to guy at WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laron Burgundy Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I wouldn't be surprised if either Hankerson or Moss is our most productive receiver as I have a feeling their go route ability along with RG3's accuracy and arm are going to lead to a lot of long td's. Both of them, I imagine, won't go until very late in the draft and I could EASILY see a 1000 yard, 8 td season for one of them (big question will be which one, as I'm not completely sure), and that would be a top 25 wr. Late round steal imo. I know all the hype is on Garcon, but he scares me. 60% of his fantasy production last year happened in just 3 games against 3 bottom 10 pass defenses. He was a #2 in a division with mostly awful secondaries, but I realize he had a bad qb. I'd take RG3 as the 8th qb. I think he at least performs that well, though I've seen him ranked 10-13. I'd take him before Vick for sure, Vick murdered my team last year when I thought I got him at a steal in the 2nd round. If I miss out on the top 5 qbs, I'm waiting for Griffin. Last year had some crazy qb numbers, but if it goes back down to 2010 levels then all Griffin would need for 8th qb in my league is 3200 passing, 20 td-17 int with 400 yards rushing and 5 tds. I'll take the over on that. Davis is my 5th te, but if I don't get gronk or graham then I'm not drafting te until rather late, unless yahoo changes Hernandez's designation to wr/te.

You're one of the first one's I've seen doing FF for as long as I have. We're in our 22nd season this year. That 1991-92 season was our first and Rypien was taken late. Actually, the team with Jim Kelly won it in our league. I had Warren Moon and Jim Everett as my QBs that first season. This is going to be my last season. I'm kind of worn out doing it. I'm the commish in our league and I'm fried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskinpigskin Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I'm in a keeper league where we keep three keepers then draft the remaining players. I just took RGIII as my first pick. I figured that is about the equivalent of drafting him in the 4th round. I'm hoping he'll be one of my keepers for the next 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobaga Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I don't draft according to loyalty (I try my best not to draft Cowboys). There are a couple of Skins' that can be viable fantasy options, but it is too early to know what round. the players I would draft 1. RG3 2. Garcon 3. Helu/Hightower-the one who wins the job 4. Hank-depends on how he looks in preseason 5. Defense-for a bye week I don't trust sleepy, plus I think his value will be lowered by the return of Cooley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCClybun Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Davis is going in the middle rounds from what I can see, and Garçon is later rounds. Santana and Hank both get drafted real late in the mock drafts I've been in, but they DO get drafted, most times before I get a chance to. SIDE NOTE: Is it bad that one of the reason I was so hurt over Hank getting hurt last season was because I thought I could get him off waivers? I mean I was a lot more upset and bothered by the fact he had such an awesome game and then got hurt, but then I was like "goddamn it, now I can't even have him on my fantasy football team..." ...See, this is why fantasy football can be bad sometimes.

2STaylor1 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 probably none... however every year me and some friends do a league where we only have players from our favorite teams.... right now we have me as the skins, buddys as dallas, bmore, philly, and the giants. i never win but its fun.
