Would you flex Deebo? Or start him over Davis and flex Jones II?

New to fantasy need help on my flex. I’ll give as much detail as possible. Edit: 0.5 PPR league. I have:

WR: Lockett @ IND Corey Davis @ CAR

RB: Henry v ARI D. Harris v MIA

Flex options: Deebo Samuel @ DET OBJ @ KC R. Jones II v Dallas

I know I’m not supposed to flex a guy playing on Thursday so I’m thinking not Jones, but Dallas D is bad right? Should I start him and flex Harris? Is Deebo @ DET a better option than Lockett or Davis this week?

Thanks!

Sermon and Williams are rostered. How does the MG3 vs Williams work for Denver? MG3 is the starter but Williams is rostered at a much higher %. Would you not be worried about dropping Jonnu with Kittle’s injury history? Sony Michel is also available. Would he be a better pickup than either MG3 or Ron Jones II? I was able to get Bateman and Cohen in my IR bench slots.

Ok I’ll drop Mayfield and 1 other for MG3 and Ron Jones II. Then keep an eye on the backups to named if a starter gets injured. Michael Carter is available, but from my limited understanding, aren’t the Jets going with a 3 back committee? Sony Michel is also available, worth a bench spot over anyone I have?

No money, just for fun. Many of us are brand new to fantasy, but a few are pretty experienced. Maybe next year we’ll throw friendly wagers, but too many inexperienced people like myself. That’s why I don’t think I’m ruined if I can find a sleeper RB. I feel solid at every other position. I think I’m going to drop Baker and 1 other player for Ron Jones II. I was able to get Bateman and Cohen to fill my IR slots.

We’re friends. I brought up backing out and he said “You live and you learn.” So it’s going through. I’m the commissioner, but I’m not going to abuse it to cancel the trade. The guy I traded with drafted Mahomes, Allen, and Jackson in the first 3 rounds. He needed an RB desperately and needed to drop QBs. He’s kind of a goober, but I’m not mad about it, just trying to recover. Unfortunately we don’t start two QBs. I really would like to maybe trade Dak or Mayfield plus a WR for a better RB3 and keep D. Harris for my RB3 spot. I don’t think I’m going to get that though as people have only been interested in Henry. Nobody is valuing QBs very high as it’s an 8 man league and there are plenty projected to go over 23 points. I don’t think my season is ruined, but I know I need to find another bellcow back and maybe a sleeper back from the waivers. I’m going to try to do some research on which of the backs left will likely get lion’s share touches for their teams. I’ve always followed college really close, but not the NFL.

Brand new to fantasy football. Stupidly traded away Najee Harris for Josh Allen. 8-man League. 0.5 PPR. 6 pts passing TDs. Not keeper league. 14 Roster spots

Current roster: QBs: Josh Allen, Dak Prescott, Baker Mayfield RBs: Derrick Henry, Damien Harris WRs: Tyler Lockett, Corey Davis, Deebo Samuel, OBJ, Jalen Waddle TEs: George Kittle, Jonnu Smith Kicker: Tyler Bass Def: Baltimore

Technically Najee is still on my roster. The trade take effect Friday, but he’s essentially gone. I believe I’ve screwed myself out of a really good RB core. Any suggestions? I should try to pick up a RB off waivers, correct? Especially since I only have 2 now. I can try to trade but don’t know if anyone would give me a solid RB for Dak or Baker since the league is so small. Yahoo has Singletary as the best RB on the wire. Other notable backs in my opinion are: Gordon III, James Conner, Ron Jones II, J. Williams, Kenyan Drake.

I hope I learned my lesson. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Again brand new to FF. Thanks for any help in advance. Sorry if this is the wrong place, but I felt it was more of a fix my roster situation than simple add/drop. New to the subreddit as well.

Amazon already took the WoW player refugee advice on New World. You’re gonna have to fight if you don’t want it to happen here also. It’s very easy for a company to realize how much more money is to be made if they cater to the casual player.

Yeah it’s auto corrected on my phone. Obviously that’s what I meant as I had the conversion right there in the sentence.

Is there some special significance to going 99-100 kmph or ~62 mph that would make someone racist? That’s a pretty average driving speed on basically every American highway and a little slow on most interstates.

I’m not claiming to have all the answers, but I made a whole post to draw attention to these issues a few weeks ago, but people who haven’t played many mmos with player driven economies kept it from getting traction. You can go through my post history to find it if you want to see ways other games have handled these issues.

I hope so. It’s easy to overlook things. Especially when you completely change the vision and direction of your game over the course of a year. The gear was never meant to be permanent. This was a full loot PvP game and they took a completely different direction.

I guess it depends how much power creep they can add and not completely unbalance the fighting, TTK, etc.

Any gear can be salvaged for parts to repair other gear, it doesn’t need to be crafted. Gear rains from the sky from just doing quests and dungeons. It’s incredibly easy to keep enough repair parts. Most gear, especially with bad stat combos sells for pennies on the market because it’s so plentiful. So, yes this is an item sink, but not a very demanding one.

Thanks, it’s my biggest concern about the game. I think it’s a leftover gap from their change from hardcore pvp to the current state. I’m sure they’ll address it at some point. Hopefully sooner return later.

Yeah, but then that steel may never spawn again. SWG was magical in that way, but it was a different era and wouldn’t hold up to modern gamers. The bitching about how they have to wait for a good spawn to match your server best steel would be intolerable. Lol

He means there are no item sinks in the game like most sandbox player driven economies. Once everyone has max level gear there will be no need to craft new gear or gather so gear never breaks. It won’t happen in two weeks though. It is a real problem, but will take 6+ months to be an issue. However, once it is it will be too late to fix. I made a whole post about it yesterday, but it doesn’t seem most people on the sub are familiar with sandbox mmos and only have experience with theme parks with little player economy.

That’s what most of the Reddit posts here want to do. Make NW less sandbox and more WoW theme park. Like they don’t already have WoW and FF14 to hate.

I like NW crafting, but it’s not near SWG level crafting. Also SWG was a true player driven economy. Gear never permanently breaks in NW and will make crafting obsolete around 6-9 months after launch when everyone has all of their max level gear. In SWG gear would lose max condition on repair or even completely break keeping the need for new gear to come into the market.

Yeah, it doesn’t have to be as drastic as Albion’s system though. Gear could break much more slowly we time like SWG’s system. One of the worst things that ever happened to SWG’s economy was the addition of Anti Decay Kits (ADKs). With those players could keep their favorite pieces of gear forever. But it really hurt the player driven economy as there was less demand on the armor and weapons market.

I agree 100%. Trying to patch theme park systems on top of the sandbox game they made left this system overlooked. Gear has to be a consumable to keep the economy healthy long term.

I recent made a post about this, but people here don’t seem to understand that gear must leave the game to keep value for crafting and gathering.

I recently made a post about this on this sub, but people don’t seem to understand if gear isn’t “consumed” a player driven economy doesn’t work. They only understand that they want to change this game to make it more like WoW.

If you have an economics degree then you would understand that if people purchased items that never devalued or wore out then they would have no need to replace them.

Source: Someone calling you on your bullshit.

Everyone has played WoW. If you think WoW has a player driven economy then you clearly haven’t played true player driven economy mmos. Everyone who comes here wanting to turn New World into WoW is doing a disservice. You all already have a game you can go hate playing.

“You craft what people want, THAT is economy.” LOL it’s like you didn’t even take the time to read my post. Once people have their end game gear they won’t want anything else. That’s the whole point. There will be no reason to craft or gather 6+ months down the road outside of simple consumables.

Keep putting your degree to good use.

Well the game was originally designed for full loot. That’s likely why this was an overlooked aspect of the economy. Something needs to force crafting and gathering to remain relevant past early late game.
