well...for a 12 team league, it wouldn't be horrible..Jennings, Marshall, MJD, and Hillis isn't too bad. Probably finish middle of the pack in a 12 team league.

Your starting RBs are beast...WR's and TE's are sketchy though. Jennings is a stud but Rodgers has 5 different receivers he goes to. The TE's are decent, but 2nd or 3rd tier fantasy ones. Miami is a good defense, but they suck at forcing turnovers. You're going to need a big year out of Matty Ice.

Decent draft, imho.

WR - Calvin Johnson
WR - Wes Welker
Flex - Julio Jones
TE - Kellen Winslow
IDP - Terrell Suggs

BN - Chad Henne

I think Bush is going to kill it this year if he stays healthy. He's the Dolphins feature back, and the only one they trust right now. Rookie Daniel Thomas looked like shit in preseason. This is a PPR league too, and captain checkdown Chad Henne will go to Reggie Bush multiple times per game. My RB and QB depth blows, but that's only one week I have to worry about anyways.

Decent team. Bush/Henne is a good combo for bench at least. Teams will have to decide whether they want to eliminate Bush or Marshall. So either way, if Henne can capitalize against teams eliminating Bush by throwing TDs to Marshall or Hartline, then points for you. And if Bush can capitalize against teams playing to stop Marshall, points for you.


Lee Evans is a really good pickup too. Looks like Flacco's deep target right now. I dont know about Julio Jones, because they also have Roddy White, Harry Douglas, and Tony Gonzales.

And I would pick up Stevan Ridley over Woodhead tbh.

QB's were gone so i had to take Steven Jackson at #20. Homer pick? I dont think so....i'm not gonna draft a WR like Hakeem Knicks or Dwayne Bowe at #20 just because i took a RB #1 and the QB's are gone.


I'd rather pick in the middle of the order.

I like Reggie Bush this year too. I wanted to take him but that Week 5 bye just didn't work for me. So I took Beanie Wells as my #3 RB. :rolleyes

I love Amendola as a 6th-7th round pick. Wes Welker Jr- even come from the same school.

Think Steve Johnson is going to repeat his 2010 heroics, DD?

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Beanie Wells might be productive this year just because he's the workhorse by default and should get 20+ touches a game (assuming he stays healthy which is a big if). He's not too helpful in a PPR league though since he's Cedric Benson pt. 2 when it comes to catching out of the backfield.

I'm a big supporter of St. Louis's offense this year. I think Sims-Walker is gonna kill it, Stephen Jackson will find the endzone more, and Amendola won't light the world on fire but he'll put up solid weekly production.

Not a big fan of LeSean McCoy tho. When healthy Ronnie Brown is the better player and is gonna steal a lot of touches from McCoy.

Stevie's the ONLY receiving threat they have left...he's going to be force-fed the ball, so chances are it'll be another good fantasy year.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Fantasy question for yous guys...who should I start this week in my espn league:

Flex...gotta choose between Julio Jones (@ATL) and Donald Driver (NOH). Leaning towards DD.

D/ST...Normally I would start the Eagles D (@STL) every week, but the Texans are home against the Colts, and it looks like the immobile slow-release Kerry Collins will be starting. The Texans will probably jump out to a 2-3 score lead and go after Collins on D. It's a risky proposition, but this could be a great week for their D.

Finally, at IDP I have a choice between Suggs and James Harrison--they play each other Week 1. Leaning towards Suggs.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Jones. Driver has slowed down tremendously and has dropped to the 4th option in that O.

Tillman is a pretty good CB but he's going to draw Roddy. Jennings/Bowman can and will be exploited.

JJ will get the looks.

Take the Texans and Harrison.

I'm starting the Texans in every league this week if/when Peyton is declared out. It's not too risky given how bad the Colts offense would be and how aggressive Wade Phillips' defenses are.

Tillman is a pretty good CB but he's going to draw Roddy. Jennings/Bowman can and will be exploited.

JJ will get the looks.

Take the Texans and Harrison.

Driver is still a starter and he has a more favorable matchup on D--and he's at home. JJ is playing at Soldier field. I do like how ATL incorporates JJ into the running game though w/ reverses and end-arounds. He looked good doing that in the PS. Tough call, gonna be a game time decision unless DD has injury issues.

I'm going with the Texans D/ST:tu

Harrison and Suggs are kind of a wash...the reason why I liked Suggs is because he's had good games against them in the past........and Harrison will have to contend with an O-line that features McKinnie and Oher--for an edge rusher he's gonna have a tough time with either of them.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

We'll see how Oher bounces back this year. He wasn't good at all last year.

Plus, Flacco holds the ball way too long.

It's probably a wash, but I'd roll with JH.

trade Ben for Chad Henne, maybe Austin for Miami D.

Bess was just a flyer with my last pick, not that critical. I'm dropping him for a kicker this week.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Other than LeSean McCoy I think you had a really good draft tbh

[Blake]

shit check that......I forgot how good Austin is.....maybe #1 WR per Hollinger stats....

maybe you can sucker someone to take Michael Turner off your hands for Miami D.

[Blake]

Blake with that not funny again.

how can you not be trolling with such a shitty team like that

[DPG21920]

I'm not sold on McCoy either, but with the 10th pick I was kind of forced into taking him IMO.

This league, based on what I know of fantasy and the settings, seems to be geared towards RB's (since you can start 3 and there are no pts per recption). My logic was to try and get really good backs, get some solid wr's that have upside and to take value qb's late. I think I executed on the strategy, I'm just unsure about some of my guys. But I look at it like this: in a strong rb league, I have McCoy/Turner/Felix as my starting 3 and my 4th back is Benson which isn't bad at all (probably a lot of people's third stringer).

I need Miles/Marshall to have good years.

[DPG21920]

how can you not be trolling with such a shitty team like that

you are just awful at trolling. need to work on the subtle goods tbh.

[Blake]

you are just awful at trolling. need to work on the subtle goods tbh.

neh, I'm ok with guys like you winning the mono troll of the month awards

your team fucking sucks (no subtle)

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Yeah I agree with det strategy. Your receivers are pretty good tho as I think Marshall and Holmes will have good years and Austin at this point is pretty consistent. I think Turner in round 2 is a great value pick this year and I'm also high on Felix Jones.

[Monostradamus]

tbh I'd start Ben or Flacco over Freeman.

[JoeTait75]

Bess was just a flyer with my last pick, not that critical. I'm dropping him for a kicker this week.

Seriously? I don't think it's that bad of a pick, especially that low.

Then again, I've had one winning season in six years of FFB, so WTF do I know.

[DPG21920]

Mono what you think of the team overall? Ben is playing BAL this week and while DET def seems solid, BAL is still scary on d

[BlackSwordsMan]

F!

[DPG21920]

I agree which is why I grabbed him but I was just making a point to that girl who was mocking the fact I have two Dolphin receivers. I need a K though so I'm dropping him and keeping Lee.

[Monostradamus]

Mono what you think of the team overall? Ben is playing BAL this week and while DET def seems solid, BAL is still scary on d

yeah considering the opponent, freeman might be the best choice week 1. I think the team looks solid, but depth at RB to me is your one big concern, but it shouldn't be too hard to pick up another decent RB.

[Blake]

I agree which is why I grabbed him but I was just making a point to that girl who was mocking the fact I have two Dolphin receivers. I need a K though so I'm dropping him and keeping Lee.

honestly, in a 10 team league, that's exactly the type of draft a girl makes, tbqfh no lie.

I thought with two known Cowboy homer picks and two known Dolphin Renaldo homer picks that you were just fucking around. My apologies.

How much does the QB get for throwing a TD? 4 or 6?

[DPG21920]

So everyone but you who likes the team is dumb? I hate the Cowboys so definitely not a homer pick IMHO. :lol at you ragin' on my Fins pick when one was the 15th pick in the draft.

6 pts

[DeadlyDynasty]

Really? I thought RB was my strong position with McCoy/Turner/Felix/Benson. You think I need a 5th?

No, you're good at RB. Shady McCoy is the league's next 1000/1000 guy, be it this year or next. If you play in a PPR league he will smash. Felix Jones is the unquestioned starter on Dallas--no more 3 RB committee. Michael Turner doesn't catch a lot of balls but he's a beast rusher. Benson is meh, but not terrible as a 4th option. Your top 3 RBs probably beat anybody else's top 3 imo

[DPG21920]

No ppr Deadly. So you're saying Blake is a massive douche? So where do I need to look to improve or should I sit tight? What is a better 4th back over Benson?

[DeadlyDynasty]

No ppr Deadly. So you're saying Blake is a massive douche? So where do I need to look to improve or should I sit tight? What is a better 4th back over Benson?

That hurts you big time. McCoy is a monster there...he led a team with D-Jax and Maclin on it in receptions with 78. You're still good at RB...maybe put a flyer out for the best available RB on the waiver wire (but not now). You could definitely do better at WR, although Marshall is going to have a big year imo. Bess is basically useless w/o PPR though. Holmes is the #1 in NYJ, but they're a ground and pound team. He's at best a Flex option. Sanchez loves going to him around the redzone though, so you might cash in there. Jimmy Graham is a great pick at TE, and I'm guessing you got him as a steal in the later rounds.

D/ST, WR and QB are your weak points...Get another defense if you can. At QB you can probably make do with those guys. At WR you need help

[Blake]

So everyone but you who likes the team is dumb?

just an opinion.

But if they like the team to win anything as is, then yeah, pretty dumb. imo.

In a 10 team league, you should have been able to draft a 5 star caliber that would carry you or two 4 star players. All I see are a bunch of 3 stars that might have 4 star weeks every now and then.


I hate the Cowboys so definitely not a homer pick IMHO. :lol at you ragin' on my Fins pick when one was the 15th pick in the draft.

Reynaldo give you two thumbs up. Way up had you snagged Reggie.


6 pts

When it's 6 points, I go QB in the first round every time.

Ben should be your starter every week even though he's a boom or bust type QB.

I bet there's a better D on your free agent list than NO.

There might even be a better TE.

If you were in a PPr league, you'd probably be in great shape with Marshall and McCoy, but as is, I think you are shaky at WR and RB.

Honestly, in a 10 team league, you should have at least one top player in some category, but I'm not even sure you have a top 5 player in any category.

run down that free agent list, tbh.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Dude I just saw you have Miles Austin...start him, and keep him as a starter. He's good.

What position are you at on the waiver wire right now?

[Monostradamus]

Really? I thought RB was my strong position with McCoy/Turner/Felix/Benson. You think I need a 5th?

Felix is injury prone and Benson is going to suck. I have my doubts as to how much longer Michael Turner will be useful also. McCoy is nice but doesn't score alot of TD's.

[dirk4mvp]

I don't see how anyone could play in a non ppr league.

[DPG21920]

1 DD

RBs: McCoy / Turner / Felix / Benson

Rec: Miles / Marshall / Holmes

QBs: Ben / Freeman / Flacco

TE: Graham (9th Round)

So I know no ppr hurts but I don't think there are a ton of backs that jump mine in rank bc of it.

Still, I know my receivers are somewhat my weak point I guess.

[DeadlyDynasty]

If you picked 10th then you'll be the first on the waiver wire. If nothing else, just wait for the next Arian Foster or Peyton Hillis to come forward and he's all yours :lol

[DPG21920]

Felix is injury prone and Benson is going to suck. I have my doubts as to how much longer Michael Turner will be useful also. McCoy is nice but doesn't score alot of TD's.

Most backs are injury prone or injured it seems. I'm not sold on my RBs either but you could make most backs seem like potential busts. Benson is my 4th back and I don't know many 4th backs that are great or that rushed for 1000 yards (given Palmer is gone and teams can stack the box on him).

[DPG21920]

I don't see how anyone could play in a non ppr league.

never played before don't really know the diff. Just a minor league no biggie.

[DeadlyDynasty]

co-sign


1 DD

RBs: McCoy / Turner / Felix / Benson

Rec: Miles / Marshall / Holmes

QBs: Ben / Freeman / Flaccid

TE: Graham (9th Round)

So I know no ppr hurts but I don't think there are a ton of backs that jump mine in rank bc of it.

Still, I know my receivers are somewhat my weak point I guess.

McCoy definitely drops down a few w/o PPR...but at least you'll have his receiving yards. As for Turner, there's no defensive coordinator in the league who's stacking the box with Roddy and JJ on the outside--he'll be fine.

You need help at QB though...you'll be shuffling through those 3 every week.

Since you're #1 on the waiver wire, use that wisely and jump on the next impact player that makes himself known, be it WR or RB

[Monostradamus]

Most backs are injury prone or injured it seems. I'm not sold on my RBs either but you could make most backs seem like potential busts. Benson is my 4th back and I don't know many 4th backs that are great or that rushed for 1000 yards (given Palmer is gone and teams can stack the box on him).

If everything plays out like it should on paper, you'll be fine. But in reality, Felix is injury prone and has yet to handle a full season as the #1 back in Dallas, McCoy is a solid player but 9 TD's last season isn't special for a fantasy back, Turner's per game production has dropped each year with Atlanta and he's approaching 30, and Benson is going to suck. Like DD said, if you can identify one of the uknown breakout RBs in the first couple weeks, and there's always going to be at least one, then you'll be in good shape.

[DPG21920]

Cool, thanks. I'll just have to wait and see.

[DPG21920]

I don't know how I'll get help at qb though. Between those 3 I'll just have to be fine. If they mirror last years production I should be ok.

[Blake]

lol if Henne is on the FA list, get him.

had a good preseason, spread offense, solid wrs + reggie.

sleeper, imo.

[DPG21920]

Hey Blake, a lot of people think you're funny and good looking.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I don't know how I'll get help at qb though. Between those 3 I'll just have to be fine. If they mirror last years production I should be ok.

It would be hard at this point to land an upper-echelon fantasy QB unless you were able to fleece somebody in a trade--which would end up being vetoed anyway.

Ben and Flacco will probably be your main guys after Week 1...can't see Freeman duplicating the success he had last year.

Just play it by matchup...Week 2, 3, and 4 you'll probably get some big points with Ben cause they play Seattle, Indy, and Houston. Freeman plays the 49ers Week 5...etc, etc. You might be alright

[DPG21920]

Dude I just saw you have Miles Austin...start him, and keep him as a starter. He's good.

What position are you at on the waiver wire right now?

Do ya'll not look at match ups? Are you saying start Miles regardless? Because he's playing the Jets and Holmes is playing a weak Dallas defense.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Do ya'll not look at match ups? Are you saying start Miles regardless? Because he's playing the Jets and Holmes is playing a weak Dallas defense.

That depends who Revis is covering, him or Dez:lol Cro is overrated imo...one week he's great, the next he has 4 pass interference calls and can't cover anybody.

Dallas defense will be much-improved with Rob Ryan running the show

[DPG21920]

yeah that's too fucking stacked imho. No less than 10 teams is the way to go.

tbh we couldnt get the last 2 to join in time and nfl starts tomorrow so we just said fuck it. now every1 is projected to score in likes the 150s lol

Hey Blake, a lot of people think you're funny and good looking.

[Blake]

Chad Henne has been given "full reign" to audible at the line of scrimmage this season.Coach Tony Sparano is known for his micromanaging, but he is giving Henne some freedom this season. And with new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll instilling confidence, Henne has compiled a 93.4 quarterback rating through three preseason games. We're not saying the corner has been turned here, but Henne appears much more comfortable in the pocket. On a related note, Brandon Marshall is looking like a steal at his current fourth-round ADP.

I got Marshall in the 5th round tbph

[Blake]

Do ya'll not look at match ups? Are you saying start Miles regardless? Because he's playing the Jets and Holmes is playing a weak Dallas defense.

some players you start regardless of matchups. Marshall, McCoy and Austin.

I'd say in your case, Ben too.

Just drafted in my ESPN PPR league w/ friends(8 person league)

QB- Matt Ryan
RB- Arian Foster
RB- Maurice Jones-Drew
RB/WR- LeGarette Blount
WR- Hakeem Nicks
WR- Dwayne Bowe
TE- Antonio Gates
D/ST- Chargers
K- Billy Cundiff

BE- Steve Johnson
BE- Ryan Grant
BE- Joe Flacco
BE- Marcedes Lewis
BE- Reggie Bush
BE- Matthew Stafford
BE- Bears D/ST

rate it imo

if Foster stays healthy, 8 out of 10.

Me, I'd try to trade Blount for another top flight receiver while his value is still high.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Round 1/2 is where you messed up, Deep...should've grabbed Brees or Vick with one of those 2 picks--especially with passing td's being worth 6

[DPG21920]

Round 1/2 is where you messed up, Deep...should've grabbed Brees or Vick with one of those 2 picks--especially with passing td's being worth 6

It seemed like such a reach to take one of those two there with who was left on the board.

I felt that getting top RB's in that position and going with Big Ben/Flacco/Freeman was better than getting Brees and RB's like Blount/Best/Ingram

[DPG21920]

You think I should do something like Felix Jones/Ben Roth for Rivers/Beanie Wells?

[Blake]

I was pick 10:


McCoy was decent 1st round pick.

the Michael Turner pick in the 2nd round was no good. Brees, Rivers, even Vick tbh.

Blount > Felix in the 3rd

Austin good in 4th

Marshall steal in 5th

I probably then would have gone Vernon Davis in the 6th.

[DPG21920]

I disagree with Blount in the 3rd. I know Felix is injury prone, but he has much more upside for that type of pick IMO.

In the 6th I went Big Ben.

[DeadlyDynasty]

You think I should do something like Felix Jones/Ben Roth for Rivers/Beanie Wells?

Hell yeah. Rivers is going to have another monster year.

Dude, check out PR's stats last year with all his receivers injured, Gates out for a chunk of games, and a meh running game: 4700 yards, 30 TDs, 13 ints.:wow

Now he's got Vincent Jackson, Malcolm Floyd, and Antonio Gates all back healthy. If you can swing that deal, don't hesitate.

[DPG21920]

Round 12 you should've gone New England D instead of Flaccid

[Blake]

I disagree with Blount in the 3rd. I know Felix is injury prone, but he has much more upside for that type of pick IMO.

In the 6th I went Big Ben.

no prob.

I can almost guarantee that if both stay healthy, Blount will have more fantasy points than Felix through the 1st 4 weeks.

[DPG21920]

I'm just not high on Wells at all. You think having Rivers/McCoy/Turner/Wells/Benson is better than Big Ben/McCoy/Turner/Felix/Benson?

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I'm not high on Wells either but the fact he's gonna get 20+ touches a game makes the trade worth it IMO. If you could do Felix + Ben for Wells + Rivers do it in a heart beat since you're getting by far the best player in the deal (in my experience, the team that gets the best player in FF wins the trade 90% of the time), I just doubt the other guy would bite.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I'm just not high on Wells at all. You think having Rivers/McCoy/Turner/Wells/Benson is better than Big Ben/McCoy/Turner/Felix/Benson?

Yes. Just think of the 4 games he'll have against the Raiders and Broncos alone. Chiefs aren't exactly a great D either. Ben plays in a run-first offense that has another world class defense in his division.

Beanie Wells is the only RB in AZ besides Chester Taylor, who was picked up just a couple days ago. He's injury prone like Felix, but once again you have to keep in mind the division Beanie plays in...Seahawks and Niners are pop warner teams.

[JoeTait75]

I'm just not high on Wells at all.

Wells is hot garbage. But more so in a PPR league than in a non-PPR league. Who else is going to get the ball there?

[DPG21920]

no prob.

I can almost guarantee that if both stay healthy, Blount will have more fantasy points than Felix through the 1st 4 weeks.

Wouldn't be completely shocking, but if all goes well, I think Felix has top 10 RB potential, I don't think Blount's ceiling is that high.

[DPG21920]

He has Ray Rice, then Beanie as his number two. Getting Felix as his number 2 instead of Wells might be worth the drop from Rivers to Ben to him?

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

He has Ray Rice, then Beanie as his number two. Getting Felix as his number 2 instead of Wells might be worth the drop from Rivers to Ben to him?
Maybe, but if I'm in his shoes, no way. Especially in a league where passing TDs are worth 6 points. It's not like anything bad happens if you propose the trade tho so you might as well. I lead my league in proposed trades pretty much every year :lol

[DPG21920]

I sent the trade, we'll see if he will take it. You start 3 RB's in this league (RB, RB, W/R/TE) so maybe only having Ray Rice and Wells as your number 2 will be enough to do it.

[DeadlyDynasty]

If we played in a salary cap league DoK would definitely beat all of us :lol

[DPG21920]

I know Rivers is super bad ass, but Ben does have the potential to throw 25+ tds this year imo (which is best case obviously, but not completely out of the realm of possibility). But good point about the divisions.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Tbh one of my leagues is an auction draft league this year and my team is st:lolcked in it. It's a 10 team league and I have Turner, MJD, and Stephen Jackson at RB with Jennings, Boldin and Marshall at receiver.

[Axe Murderer]

Felix is injury prone

No shit, i would never take him in a fantasy league. He's a huge cock tease, he only gets injured after putting up a string of good games only to let you down.

He's like the NFL's version of Nelson Cruz

[Lincoln]

Damn Brah why you so fucking asshurt?

:cry they're saying my draft isn't as good as others! :cry

[JoeTait75]

I know Rivers is super bad ass, but Ben does have the potential to throw 25+ tds this year imo (which is best case obviously, but not completely out of the realm of possibility). But good point about the divisions.

Ben will get you a couple of rushing touchdowns too, probably. And that schedule is appetizing- NFC West, AFC South plus two games apiece against the Bengals and Browns, both teams he's butt-raped throughout his career.

[DPG21920]

Do you think Romo is worth trading Ben + a little something for?

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

depends who the someone is

[DPG21920]

Garcon?

[DPG21920]

Only issue is that will give me Romo/Miles/Felix and that is scary.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

True. I hate having more than 2 players on the same offense. I'd do Ben + Garcon for Romo tho if nothing else is considered, everyone on Indy is a major question mark given Manning's health.

[DPG21920]

Would you do Josh Freeman/Holmes for Mike Wallace? Do you think the other guy would consider that? He only has ELI as a QB and I could use another receiver. Keeping Ben and having Wallace might be nice and avoid the 3 cowboy situation.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I doubt the other guy would do that. Pulling off 2 for 1 trades (where you get the 1 who's the best of the 3) are tough and usually can only be done when another team is in desperation mode

[DPG21920]

Is it a relatively fair trade though? I don't want to send hot garbage that would be vetoed even if it was accepted. If he would take that, should I do that with my team?

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Yes I would do that if I were you.

On paper it is fair, but it doesnt make any sense for him since the downgrade from Wallace to Holmes hurts him more than the upgrade from Eli to Freeman (if it is even an upgrade at all) helps him. When you offer a 2 for 1, it doesn't have a shot at getting accepted unless the other guy is getting two guys who he'd start almost every week. Check back at your draft history, if he took Eli with Freeman still on the board, he has no reason to do the trade.

Check back at your draft history, if he took Eli with Freeman still on the board, he has no reason to do the trade.

Well I see your point, but my logic is that with Eli as your number one, you are going to want someone else to at least make a decision with on a weekly basis. IMO only top flight players you don't worry about subbing, but with guys like ELI, you probably should have at least one other person so you can make a decision on a weekly basis. To me, that is the value. He's getting a decent REC in Holmes to replace Wallace, and to make up for that he's getting a guy in Freeman who's just as good (with higher upside if he just repeats what he did last year) as ELI to where he can use him on any given week since ELI isn't a sure thing.

Last question for today, what would should I be willing to give up for a top QB like Romo in addition to Big Ben in a package in your opinion that would improve my team.

Give me an example and also maybe a package for a better QB like Vick. Thanks.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

For a semi elite QB like Romo/Schaub, if you can give up Ben + someone who'd sit on your bench more often than not, do. The way I see it, that is an overall upgrade to your starting lineup which means it'll lead to more points every week. Losing a bench player might hurt you during a couple bye weeks but the upgrade at QB is worth it.

For an elite QB like Vick/Rodgers, you would probably have to give up so much it wouldn't be worth it until someone got desperate. From my experience, unless you have an idiot in your league, almost no trades happen involving players taken early before the first few weeks of the season are over and someone starts 0-3 or 1-2 w/ a significant injury.

[DPG21920]

My friend might be willing to do Freeman/Miles for Vick? That would leave me with Vick/Big Ben/Flacco at QB and only Marshall/Holmes/Garcon at WR though.

I could probably trade Ben for a decent WR though? This is so much more confusing to me than BB because I don't know the players as well.

[Blake]

Jimmy Graham.

his value might not be higher all season than right now.

Are passing, receiving, and rushing td's all worth 6? You're stacked at RB, TE is somewhat decent, but you're hurting at the WR position--especially with Colston out for a month now. Still, depending on how your league scores--you could be in pretty good shape imo

All TD are worth 6 points. No point per reception.

Agreed....STRUGGLING at WR. Colston is gonna be the death of me. Guess I'll be going with Ocho and Dez Bryant.

Which RBs should I feel the most comfortable playing. (pick 3)

I like Mendenhall and Jackson. Steelers historically run the ball, and I think Bradford will take a lil heat off of Jackson this year.
Unsure about the rest. Blount had a good season last year, Benson gets a lot of touches (but its the Bengals), and Reggie Bush is gonna get the most carries on the Dolphins I heard from their coach. (but its the Dolphins)

I was offered Frank Gore for Deion Branch today. Should I take it?

WR: Branch/Maclin/D.Bryant/Henderson/Ward/Cobb
RB: McFadden/P.Thomas/Moreno/Cadillac (who I picked up after I dropped Charles)

He also has Mike Tolbert who I think he would also get rid of, if a better option than Gore.

[DPG21920]

Beanie Wells might be productive this year just because he's the workhorse by default and should get 20+ touches a game (assuming he stays healthy which is a big if). He's not too helpful in a PPR league though since he's Cedric Benson pt. 2 when it comes to catching out of the backfield.

I'm a big supporter of St. Louis's offense this year. I think Sims-Walker is gonna kill it, Stephen Jackson will find the endzone more, and Amendola won't light the world on fire but he'll put up solid weekly production.

Not a big fan of LeSean McCoy tho. When healthy Ronnie Brown is the better player and is gonna steal a lot of touches from McCoy.

Was this some inside joke or real :lol?

[DPG21920]

Should have posted this in this thread instead of the other league's thread:

DD, did my fantasy draft for my first money league (hate drafting this early), but wanted to see what you think. I am not thrilled with it because I took so many risks, but it at least has solid potential IMO.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Standard ESPN league. My roster is as follows:

QB: Peyton Manning/Andrew Luck
WR: Calvin Johnson, Demaryius Thomas, Marques Colston, Dwayne Bowe, and Michael Crabtree.
RB: Frank Gore, Shonne Green, Michael Bush, Peyton Hillis, LaGarrette Blount, and Beanie Wells.
TE: Rob Gronkowski
Defense: Chicago Bears
Kicker: Dan Bailey

I picked up Bush and Wells through free agency, so Im happy about that. I probably could use another TE, but that'll come later. What is everyone's thoughts on the roster?


@DPG, solid roster. Philip Rivers should have a bounceback season after last years lackluster campaign. Cutler is not a bad choice either. Carson Palmer could be a steal if he develops a good chemistry with his offense. He had flashes of good play last season. You have a great running back core, but Forte may not get as many points due to Bush possibly being a goal line back. In addition, the Matthews injury kind of sucks, but he should be a good back throughout the season. Spiller will be good if Jackson were to go down, and Brown did pretty well with the Colts last season, even with how bad the QB situation was.
Your wide receiver lineup is a bit weak. Miles Austin is always a good pick, but DeSean Jackson is a risk. He and Maclin both would cancel each other out quite a bit fantasy wise last season, so be prepared for some weeks of low stats.

All in all, I'd say you have a good team.

I'm not big on your QB's, but obviously with Peyton there is great potential. Your #1 & 2 wideouts are very soild, but I'd be concerned with the RB core. Having Gronk is huge, but I'd be concerned with my QB/RB situation and look for opportunities to hit up waivers for a QB and be on the lookout for a trade for a RB.


Re: my roster: I got Palmer with the 14th pick in the draft so I feel that was really good value and I am hoping he plays well because I will have great back ups and potential to trade Cutler/Palmer and still be solid (I'll roll with Philip most every week and I think he will pay off).

Matthews I got with the last pick of the 3rd so I didn't want to grab him but I felt that essentially the 4th round was just too much to pass up. WR's definitely are my weakest spot IMO on paper, but I had to be a little weaker somewhere and felt I at least got solid wide recievers although not spectacular with Austin/Jackson/Harvin

@Gira: Great QB which is huge, plus your back up has high upside although risky. Running backs are solid, not spectacular, but still good with McFadden/Charles/Jackson (although there is risk with Charles). WR's are a little weak and a lot will depend on Peyton obviously.

I'm not big on your QB's, but obviously with Peyton there is great potential. Your #1 & 2 wideouts are very soild, but I'd be concerned with the RB core. Having Gronk is huge, but I'd be concerned with my QB/RB situation and look for opportunities to hit up waivers for a QB and be on the lookout for a trade for a RB.


Re: my roster: I got Palmer with the 14th pick in the draft so I feel that was really good value and I am hoping he plays well because I will have great back ups and potential to trade Cutler/Palmer and still be solid (I'll roll with Philip most every week and I think he will pay off).

Matthews I got with the last pick of the 3rd so I didn't want to grab him but I felt that essentially the 4th round was just too much to pass up. WR's definitely are my weakest spot IMO on paper, but I had to be a little weaker somewhere and felt I at least got solid wide recievers although not spectacular with Austin/Jackson/Harvin

I agree on the QB situation. I grabbed Peyton with hopes that he'd return to excellence. However, if he goes down, Ill be in quite a bit of trouble. Luck should be good, but he probably won't be huge fantasy wise for a couple of more years. Carson Palmer is available in free agency right now, so Im keeping an eye on him. More than likely Blount will be the one I drop for him. My RB is certainly weak. I ran with WR a bit early in the draft, and Gore was the "best" available at the time. Im definitely keeping an eye on FA right now. Hoping a nice gem shows up early in the season. If anything, Im hoping Hillis will be great.

Carson for 14th isnt bad at all. If he performs well, he'll definitely be a great steal/trade bait for you. Greg Little, upon review, may be a good pickup as well. He's one of the few decent WR on the Browns, so maybe he'll have a good year IF the Browns get their QB situation sorted out. I don't know what the other rosters in your league are, but from that, you should have a good shot at playoffs if your players stay healthy.

:lol It's just such bad trolling that you don't even see what you do.

Wasn't trolling. Was straight up making fun of some of your picks.

You don't see how sensitive you are. No wonder you have been beaten up so badly lately downstairs.

I went with upside more than what happened last year, and from what I've heard and read about certain players (Charles, Martin, and Jones). I really gambled on quite a few picks but I think the reward could be huge.

[DPG21920]

You weren't making fun of anything. You did the same thing last year only to come around and say "actually, it was good", then you disappeared as I was in first place most of the season and in the finals :lol

Also, you talking about getting "beat up" is hilarious. But again, I won't make fun of you because don't think it's cool - but I can see why others do all the time.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Was this some inside joke or real :lol?
It was serious unfortunately.


There's a reason I'm taking a 1 year hiatus from fantasy football :lol


Last year's abortion however didn't stop me from being optimistic about the Patriots' s:lolcondary again this year.

[DPG21920]

This is my 2nd year in fantasy FF. Normally I just play Fantasy Basketball, but I enjoyed FF. It's a lot more up and down due to the injuries and shorter seasons though, but it's fun.

I always have a mediocre (at best) draft and when I have the time to throw at it always do better than anyone else with trades and waiver wire pick ups. In 2010 I had a mediocre draft but won my league because I picked Peyton Hillis and Brandon Lloyd up off waivers.

I had a similar 2010 season. Absolute shitty draft, but I picked up Vick, Lloyd, and Hillis off of waivers. Too bad my season was ended due to losing in the playoffs by 5 points. Never did have a great defense that season...:bang
