    I don't think you make the playoffs. Who were your 3rd-6th round picks?

    What round did you take your players, because I like Graham, Rodgers, and Dez, but in an 8 team league, I would've expected either your RB's or WR's to look more "solid"...

    just my opinion

    10-team, all TD's 6 points, 2-RB's, 2-WR's, and 1 RB/WR. (LeSean McCoy was a keeper, so I didn't technically draft him there)

    1. (7) LeSean McCoy (Phi - RB)
    2. (14) DeMarco Murray (Dal - RB)
    3. (27) Keenan Allen (SD - WR)
    4. (34) Alfred Morris (Was - RB)
    5. (47) Torrey Smith (Bal - WR)
    6. (54) Cam Newton (Car - QB)
    7. (74) Ray Rice (Bal - RB)
    8. (87) Carlos Hyde (SF - RB)
    9. (94) Chris Johnson (NYJ - RB)
    10. (107) Justin Hunter (Ten - WR)
    11. (109) Cincinnati (Cin - DEF)
    12. (114) Dennis Pitta (Bal - TE)
    13. (127) Kelvin Benjamin (Car - WR)
    14. (134) Josh Gordon (Cle - WR)
    15. (147) Blair Walsh (Min - K)

    I'm very concerned about QB, I figured I would just take a shot on Gordon, if he gets suspended majority of the season, I'll make a waiver move for another WR.

    What do u guys think of my team?

    Standard ESPN league - 10 teams.
    Pos. Player Team
    QB Nick Foles, Phi QB -> Round 6
    RB1 LeSean McCoy, Phi RB -> Round 1
    RB2 Andre Ellington, Ari RB -> Round 5
    WR1 A.J. Green, Cin WR -> Round 2
    WR2 Julio Jones, Atl WR -> Round 3
    TE Jordan Reed, Wsh TE -> Round 15
    FLEX Vincent Jackson, TB WR -> Round 4
    D/ST Rams D/ST, STL D/ST -> Round 14
    K Dan Bailey, Dal K -> Round 16

    Bench:
    Toby Gerhart, Jac RB -> Round 7
    Bishop Sankey, Ten RB -> Round 8
    Golden Tate, Det WR -> Round 9
    Danny Woodhead, SD RB -> Round 10
    Darren Sproles, Phi RB -> Round 11
    Mark Ingram, NO RB -> Round 12
    Donald Brown, SD RB -> Round 13

    IMO, my WRs are very good (hopefully Julio can stay healthy) and I have very good RB depth but only 1 very good player there.

    Also, I was wondering if I should pickup a backup QB and/or TE? If so, who should I drop?

    Some available players at QB/TE:
    QBs: Andy Dalton/Alex Smith/Ryan Tannehill
    TEs: Charles Clay/Martellus Bennett.

    Thanks in advance!

    I was in a Yahoo pro league with a $20 entry fee, but right before the draft the Yahoo fantasy servers crashed and everyone in the league was forced to auto pick... surely we will be refunded for this, right?

    No offense, but how in the world did you end up with Oakland as your team defense in a 10-team league? There are about 15 defenses off the top of my head, that I would want over the silver and wack...

    Also I think your RB's look a little weak, but hopefully Ball hits his ceiling, and your WR studs can carry you.

    You got some definite steals! But I think your team is legit, I would wait and see how Foles starts before bailing and getting a #2 QB. But I would definitely keep an eye out for Andy Dalton, and scoop him up, if he starts playing well.

    I don't see any value in Woodhead or Sproles. I'd drop one of them and pick up Dalton. Maybe even Bennett.

    do you think Brown is more valuable than either of those 2? unless he wins out the backup spot for the Chargers over Woodhead, I would say Sproles has a higher value than him (plus Sproles is a good handcuff in case McCoy is hurt).

    yea, but what I am thinking is that Dalton would be picked up fairly quickly if any other qb's were to get hurt, and the fact that brown/woodhead will be competing with not only each other, but with Matthews as well will hurt their value.

    10 team keeper league. 0.5 PPR

    Last year, when I fell out of playoff consideration, I strategically traded away a few assets while keeping others so that I could be competitive in the consolation bracket (winner of that bracket gets the 1st pick in the draft) while stockpiling 2014 draft picks.

    I ended up trading away enough studs to get 2 extra 1st round picks this year as well as an extra 8th and extra 9th. I also had keepers of Gio Bernard (for a 3rd), Randall Cobb (for a 9th) and Rashad jennings for a 12th.

    That said, I think I set myself up for a championship this year...

    QB - Peyton Manning
    RB - LeSean McCoy, Gio Bernard, Rashad Jennings, Bishop Sankey, Shonn Greene, Danny Woodhead, Lamar Miller
    WR - Dez Bryant, Randall Cobb, DeSean Jackson, Marques Colston, Golden Tate, Brandin Cooks
    TE - Rob Gronkowski
    K - Dan Bailey
    DEF - Cincinnati

    I'm going to need to drop someone to pick up a backup TE in case Gronk is a no-go in week 1.

    Call me crazy, but I think Oakland's defense will get shredded by the Jets. You have to also take into consideration Oakland's offense....if they can't move the ball against the Jets, then Geno will have a short field all game long.
