BobChalmers Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 OK - my fantasy draft is tonight - running QBs are a good thing in fantasy, and TT has some of the better weapons in the league - I'm not saying he's that high a pick - is he a legit starter? QB2? Assume the draft is not in a Buffalo fan base.
H2o Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 He offers a bit more because of his running ability, especially if you are in a league where passing TD's are only 4pts while rushing are 6pts. I'd take him as a QB2.
JESSEFEFFER Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 He will shred poor defenses that lack elite defenders. The Bills will be a matchup nightmare. I just hope he was keen awareness of everything that is going on around him and can avoid the big hits and injuries/turnovers that come with them.
ctk232 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 QB2 - no higher b/c of his style of QB play. It's the Vick and RG3 question of durability and how long he'll last in a mobile qb situation
billstein22 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Draft him in a 2 QB league, near the end of the draft. In standard format I wouldn't touch him in the draft. Hope he proves me wrong though!
jeffismagic Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 There is no need to draft Tyrod high. However, if you are doing a QBBC approach. Taylor has value. I picked him up in the 14th round to start with Brady as my main guy in the 8th round. So I am rolling with Taylor to start the season as my league only awards 4 points a TD pass but you get 1 point for every 10 yards rushing. So Taylor gets a free TD to start every game if you assume he gets 40 yards minimum on the ground every game.
LeGOATski Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Top tier backup and it depends on the scoring system. In my work league, QBs have been devalued overall, so Tyrod's value goes up.
Bookie Man Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 About to try to claim him off waivers. Super sleeper!
Captain Hindsight Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Could be. But he may also fall flat on his face. I'd wait to see first
Big C Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Thinking about grabbing him and stashing him on the bench just in case.
bladiebla Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Don't see him throwing for enough TDs to be worth it.
Max997 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I took Tyrod in the last round of my keeper league
jeffismagic Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Don't see him throwing for enough TDs to be worth it. Screen passes and short throws to Harvin, Watkins, and McCoy count. I also expect Tyrod to throw deep. Let's not forget that in the Carolina game Tyrod threw two passes that could have been TD's. Plus Tyrod will get easy red zone scampers. If he runs for 60 yards, throws for 240, and gets 1 TD by ground and 1 by air, that's a nice scoring day for your QB.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) If you're in a standard league where QBs get 4 points for passing touchdowns and 6 points for rushing touchdowns, Tyrod could have a couple really big weeks during the season. Overall he's a borderline top-20 fantasy QB for that reason, but I'd stay away from him simply because he might be inconsistent and we don't know if he'll have the job all year. Probably better off having a guy like Tannehill or Flacco as your backup. Edited August 31, 2015 by SageAgainstTheMachine
LeGOATski Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Don't see him throwing for enough TDs to be worth it. Yeah. I see between 20-24 TDs for Tyrod, throwing and running.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Super Sleeper. I bet we run a lot of read option with him.
LB3 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 If you have a good QB, take a flyer on him late. I drafted yesterday. Russell Wilson was my keeper so I took TT with my last pick. Low risk high reward for a guy I never plan on playing. Btw. He was ranked somewhere near #750 when I drafted him. NFL.com's draft review gave me a C- and basically told me I'm slow.
947 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) I had my draft yesterday. Tyrod went undrafted, but Manuel got drafted in the 16th round. I almost drafted Tyrod, but couldn't pull the trigger after EJ's big game. Instead, I took Brian Hoyer with my last pick, as my 3rd QB. As soon as I heard the news today, I picked up Tyrod and cut Hoyer. Edit to add: This is a non-Buffalo league, so Bills players often get overlooked. I think TT can be a viable QB2 for fantasy. He could be a 2TD/game guy, with 200 passing yards & 50 rushing- that's solid. Edited August 31, 2015 by 947
BobChalmers Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 I'm picking 11 in a non-PPR league. Passing TDs are a full 6 but there's still 1/10 yards rushing. Almost certainly going to take RB's with the first two picks - wait a long time for the QB - I'm tempted to grab him a bit early. No other Bills fans, but we might have a few VT guys in the room.
1B4IDie Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I've been getting Robert Woods in the 3rd to last round. (Last round should always, without question be your kicker. Most years Defense should be your second to last round pick). I may need to change that to Tyrod. If he puts up 220 yards passing and 50 yards rushing a game plus whatever 2 TDs. He immediately becomes a Top 10 QB in most scoring formats. It is a pretty risk move to take him as your QB1, but if you got a super stud at QB1 you may just wait and roll the dice on T-Mobile.
