Bearstalk

Someone posted this over on soxtalk, and although the results came out pretty silly (Clowney fell to 14) it's still a fun little tool to pass time.... http://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/ I got..... 1R- Louis Nix III DT- Big hoss who is gonna demand double teams which makes the rest of the DL and LBs jobs easier. 2R- Craig Loston SS- Draws comps to last years LSU safety Eric Reid...Obvious need 3R- Jackson Jeffcoat DE- A DE that racked up 80 tackles has got to be good against the run. 4R- Dion Bailey FS- I was gonna add a point about adding a FS in FA but with Bailey here I say fug it, they should be better than what they have. 5R- Deion Belue CB- Depth…

I've seen lots of the Fanspeak mock drafts, and sometimes they seem worthwhile. Other times, however, there are ridiculous scenarios like a top 5 guy slipping to the Bears at 14. I'm just not sure they're reliable enough to be a valuable tool. I did three, with varying approaches, just to see the results. Draft #1 (S First, BPA > need) 14 S HAHA CLINTON-DIX ALABAMA 51 DT DOMINIQUE EASLEY FLORIDA 82 CB LOUCHEIZ PURIFOY FLORIDA 117 DT ANTHONY JOHNSON LSU 156 G JON HALAPIO FLORIDA 183 RB DE'ANTHONY THOMAS OREGON 191 S VINNIE SUNSERI ALABAMA Review: I didn't intend to go so heavy with SEC, but that's how it worked out. I'd like this draft a lot.…

I've tried to do a few and I don't see the trade function? Anyone want to steer me in the right direction?

1. How much faith do you put into the overall rankings of the fanspeak player lists? 2. Is there one list you prefer/trust over another? I only ask because I did one mock with the fanspeak rankings, and got some ridiculous values. I didn't even think it was worth sharing because it was so crazy. Also because the QB need has me thinking the Bears might reach, because the guys available aren't the best, and will likely have a run in the late first, early second. I could see Cleveland stealing a QB at the beginning of the second round that we'll be waiting on to drop. The most recent one I did I'm pretty happy with: 4: R1P4-DL JONATHAN ALLEN-ALABAMA (Best po…

Fanspeak has a (do your own draft) This is how the lastest turned out for me and I basically going with BPA 1-Greg Roberson/OT/Aub---------he was there so I had to take him-Bushrod to RT? Mills goes inside? 2-Stephen Truitt/DE/ND-best DL on board at tie-athletic with upside 3-Cris Borland/MLB/Wis- still there and could start day 1 4-Anthony Johnson/DT/LSU- not top rated but highly respected, will play first year 5-Antone Exum/S-CB/VT- could play either position a good valve here 6a-De Thomas/Ore-adds to a already good O 6b-M. Huff/S-CB/Wyo-can play either position- good stats and good speed Now its your turn to show what you go…

2015 NFL Mock Draft - WalterFootball.com http://walterfootball.com/draft2015.php

My apologies on two fronts; first if this has already been mentioned and second because I can’t figure out how to link it but Dan Wiederer had a great article in today’s Chicago Tribune about the leadership of this team. A great, great read. I can only hope George is finally truly enlightened because there’s some pretty damning stuff there.

Well Gotta give Orton Props again, We needed him to have a great day passing the ball and he did. Forte had a descent game, coulda done btter, but I think it was more the scheme then his ability to run. ST won it for us straight out. With all the corners out on injury it was surprising that the secondary played so well. They did give up plays but for the most part they kept everything in front of them. Iam really pleased the way they came in this game. Game balls: 1. Orton 2. Offensive line 3. Special teams Game crappers: 1. Booker ( although he redeemed one drop in the end zone with a great play) 2. Defensive front 4 ( could n…

looking for some lineup advice full PPR currently have TE Waller @ Miami Flex Mattison Not much out there in FA for TE. J.Smith, Pitts, Godert, Musgrave. Lot of meh. I’m hoping Waller has a good game anthem maybe package him in a trade. Same thing with Mattison. for my flex my bench is: J.Warren, J.Addison, T.Dell, R.Doubs, Lockett, M.Wilson. I’m thinking of swapping out Mattison for Doubs, or Dell also thinking of picking up Dowdle to handcuff Pollard.

It's a boring slow morning for this guy so I wanna compile my realistic "Fantasy defense". First, I'm gonna go ahead and let Jennings and Melton walk, then also release Peppers to save money(I plan on franchising Cutler)... I'm gonna sign Jarius Byrd(9M) and Martellus's brother Michael Bennett(6M) Then in the draft... 1RD- Ra'Shede Hageman/Louis Nix DT....I'm actually liking Hageman more than Nix at this point. 2RD- Darqueze Denard CB Mich ST...Been watching "Mr. No Fly Zone" the last few weeks and I think he's gonna be a stud. 3RD- LaMarcus Joyner CB/S FLA ST...Gives them flexibility to either keep Tillman at CB or move him to safety. I think Till…

Just realized that I need to figure out who my keeper will be for the upcoming season. Decisions, decisions. Here are my options and draft results from last year. To me it looks like my options are SF for a 6th, Flacco for an 11th, or Amendola for a 16th. Hernandez was my Keeper last year. I am leaning towards Amendola as he seems to have the most value at that slot. 2. Adrian Peterson (Min - RB) 3. Victor Cruz (NYG - WR) 4. Michael Turner (Atl - RB) 5. Reggie Bush (Det - RB) 6. Dwayne Bowe (KC - WR) 7. San Francisco (SF - DEF) 8. Pierre Garcon (Was - WR) 9. Shonn Greene (Ten - RB) 10. Nate Washington (Ten - WR) 11. Peyton Hillis (KC - RB…

Post any FF talk, trade help, who to start, trashtalk and all that jazz in here.

Just checking in to see if we will be continuing our TalkBears Keeper and non-Keeper leagues this year? I believe Drunkbomber is the Commish for the keeper league, but I have not seen him on here in a month or so. With that said, are the past managers still interesting in continuing the leagues this year? Any other members wanting to join in?

I know this is not Bears related. Need help with my Fantasy lineup this week. 10 team PPR. My Roster QB - Kirk Cousins RB - Mark Ingram, Melvin Gordon, Chris Thompson, Dion Lewis, Alfred Morris WR - AJ Green, Keenan Allen, Amari Cooper, Stefon Diggs, Nelson Agholor TE - Zach Ertz K - Will Lutz D/ST - Panthers I'm 1-6 going into week 8. It's a must win here on out. Seems every week I have one or two guys have dud games and my opponent seems to always have at least one surprise player. I've been losing by mere points every week it's been maddening. QB, TE, K, and D/ST are a given. The logical starts would be RB - Ingram & Gordon, …

I know this isn't Bears related but I'm hoping to get some feedback. It's my second year as League Manager for an NFL.com league. It's a 12 team PPR. The question is about roster structure. Currently roster is 15 players (9 starters + 6 bench). Starters are 1QB, 2RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE), 1 Def/ST, and 1 Kicker. Should I make any adjustments to the roster size, # of starters, or # of bench players, or just leave it as is. I realize adding to the roster size would shrink the talent level of the FA pool.

Minnesota Lee Evans Reggie Brown Ladell Betts Jonathan Stewart for Ronnie Brown Wes Welker Bryant Johnson New York what do you guys think rest of my team looks like this i know i need a rb bad Tom Brady Fitzgerald Roy Williams Johnathan Stewart Rudi Johnson Lee Evans Antonio Gates Neil Rackers Oakland DEF

Just wanted to send out a friendly reminder to all those that participated in last year's TalkBears leagues. A few of the leagues have been renewed, so if you played last year, get back in and activate your team. If not, we will start looking for replacement Gm's.

Who do you think is going to break out and be a sleeper? Who on the list do you think will suck and be a bust? http://www.chicitysports.com/2011/07/29/20...early-sleepers/ I think earl will definitely break out this season

Some interesting names and decisions this year. The Bunny 3. (25) Peyton Manning (Den - QB) or 9. (85) Josh Gordon (Cle - WR) So the #1 player in FFB for a 2nd rounder or a top 10 non-QB scorer for an 8th rounder? For mine, I am stuck between 4-5 players, depending on offseason acquisitions, etc.

The playoffs are upon us. Congrats to all the teams that made it to the 2nd season. The bracket is set, 1 and 2 are on byes, 4 plays 5, 3 plays 6. 1 - Fields of Dreams 4 - PapaBear --------------------- 5 - The Mad Lithuanians---------- 3 - Nips&Tips--------------------- 6 - SAVAGEw/LOOSEMORALS!--- 2 - Nopper In other news, I need to know how we want to address absent managers. We had a manager not update their lineup basically all season, including thru byes and IR, which gave some other teams some free wins and impacted the playoff positions. Since this is a pay league, I want to ensure everything is as fair as possible. Any suggestions …
