[Comment From DevoDevo: ]

I have the 4th pick in my draft and it sounds like J Charles, Martin, or Foster will fall to me....what should I do..kinda like Charles/Martin

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:06 Devo

5:07

Adam Meyer:

I would be happy with any of those three options. Give the early health scares for Arian Foster and Jamaal Charles, I would lean towards Doug Martin. The Muscle Hamster is the lead running back and will rarely share carries.

[Comment From MPGMPG: ]

Im concerned about Levian Bell's possible injury. I was wondering whether i should take a waiver on Jonathan Dwyer or Daniel Thomas?...who do you think has more upside as a replacement for the possible time Bell may be out?

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:09 MPG

5:11

Adam Meyer:

With the Steelers' running game taking a major hit with today's news on Bell, I would keep an eye on LaRod Stephens-Howling. When given the opportunity in Arizona he had a couple big games last season.

How late would you draft a Tight End

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:11 Ashu

5:14

Adam Meyer:

In PPR leagues, I would target Witten around the 4th round. Or, aim for Graham or Gonzalez in the 5th.

Non PPR leagues, I would wait until the 6th for the elites and 8th or 9th for the others.

[Comment From Matt W.Matt W.: ]

I'm in a PPR league. How early is too early to reach for Danny Amendola?

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:17 Matt W.

5:18

Adam Meyer:

I'm higher on Amendola than others are. Brady made Welker the 4th highest targeted WR last season. Currently, Amendola is in my top 20 WRs list.

[Comment From SamSam: ]

Would you rather have Marshawn Lynch or LeSean McCoy? Why?

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:21 Sam

5:21

Adam Meyer:

I tend to play it safe for higher draft choices. Marshawn Lynch averaged 15.7 fantasy points per game in 2012. LeSean McCoy was battling injuries and now has a new offense to work with. I'm leaning towards Beastmode.

[Comment From RegisRegis: ]

How long should I wait on a quarterback?

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:22 Regis

5:24

Adam Meyer:

This is one of the biggest questions for this year's draft (other than who to take after ADP)...

I was in a draft today where Aaron Rodgers was still available in Round 2. In my mind, it was a must to select him. It's the only draft where I've taken a QB that high this year.

The RB pool is shallow this season. If you can live with Kaepernick, Luck, RG3, or Wilson as your QB you can wait until Rounds 6-8. Cutler is going around Rounds 10-undrafted.

Keeper league, McCoy. Or AJ.Green

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:32 Blake

5:32

Adam Meyer:

There are plenty of WRs out there. I'd lean Shady McCoy.

[Comment From Iowa DaveIowa Dave: ]

I'm in a 16 team keeper league with the 15th pick in a snake draft. I need to choose two of the three; Lynch, Brady and Spiller. Which two?

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:33 Iowa Dave

5:33

Adam Meyer:

If I ended up with Lynch and Spiller in a 16-team league I would love my team.

Who will win the Super Bowl?

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:35 Sam

5:36

Adam Meyer:

Denver Broncos. Should have won last year...

RAHIM!!!!!

[Comment From AlAl: ]

Will David Wilson get the goal line carries? Or is his lack of blocking going to keep him out?

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:37 Al

5:37

Adam Meyer:

Andre Brown led the Giants with 8 TDs last year. I see him getting the same vulture role in 2013.

[Comment From Hawks NestHawks Nest: ]

Adam- Jamal Charles or Trent Richardson as my keeper in a PPR league? Very concerned w/ Jam Charle's foot..Thx again..

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:38 Hawks Nest

5:39

Adam Meyer:

Charles. Andy Reid tends to feature the running back in his offense. Plus, Jamaal gets a decent QB this year.

Richardson's yards per carry worries me. Not a fan of his QB either.

[Comment From StephenStephen: ]

I am in a 14 team league and have the number 1 pick- I am considering trading out of it to stockpile 2 picks per round for 2-4 .. Would you make this move? I know passing on AP seems crazy

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:39 Stephen

5:40

Adam Meyer:

Stock piling sounds smart, but I have a hard time passing on ADP. Last year people were worried about him and he crushed it. With 2,500 yards as his goal, I want that guy on my fantasy team.

[Comment From tftf: ]

deep sleeper. picking from the trash heap for a deep sleeper. marcell reece, mike james or LSH. I have my starters with maritin, bush, flex is lamar miller. ppr league

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:41 tf

5:41

Adam Meyer:

I'd go LSH out of the three.

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:41 Adam Meyer

5:42

[Comment From StephenStephen: ]

If you were to wait until after the 50th pick to draft a WR (12 team league), who would you look to target in a PPR league? Drafting rb-rb-rb-rb is a strategy I am considering.

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:42 Stephen

5:43

Adam Meyer:

Greg Jennings, Cecil Shorts, Kenny Britt, and Miles Austin.

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:43 Adam Meyer

5:44

[Comment From Hawks NestHawks Nest: ]

Adam- Can u please rank these RB's for a PPR league, Forte, Sproles, R. Bush, MJD, S-Jax, Ridley, & D.Wilson? Thx 4 the time..

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:44 Hawks Nest

5:44

Adam Meyer:

Ridley, MJD, Sproles, SJax, Bush, and Wilson.

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:44 Adam Meyer

5:46

[Comment From Matt W.Matt W.: ]

In a PPR league, how early is too soon to draft Amendola?

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:46 Matt W.

5:46

Adam Meyer:

5th Round is too early. I'm higher on him and would still wait until the 6th or 7th in PPR leagues.

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:46 Adam Meyer

5:48

[Comment From GuestGuest: ]

thought on eifert?

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:48 Guest

5:49

Adam Meyer:

In standard 10 or 12 team leagues, he'll be undrafted. I think eventually he'll be a great TE in this league. However, Gresham was the 10th highest targeted TE in football last year.

If Gresham goes down, scoop up Eifert ASAP.

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:49 Adam Meyer

[Comment From ThomasThomas: ]

What do you project for Daryl Richardson in St Lou? How many recs should we expect? ~50?

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:50 Thomas

5:51

Adam Meyer:

When he was competing with SJax, DRich received 36 targets and 24 receptions. SJax was only targeted 54 times. I'm looking at 40 receptions for DRich this year.

[Comment From BizBiz: ]

Should I trade my Stafford + McFadden (my 3rd best RB) for his Wilson + Chris Johnson?

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:53 Biz

5:54

Adam Meyer:

I would. I really like Chris Johnson this year and McFadden is Mr. Glass.

[Comment From Rich FrankRich Frank: ]

Isaac Redman now that bell is down?

Wednesday August 21, 2013 5:54 Rich Frank

5:55

Adam Meyer:

Tough competition. Redman would seem to be a decent pick given his history. Don't count out Dwyer and LSH, too.
