Had my first draft today, my other one is on Tuesday. Performance scoring, 6 points for all TD's. 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex, 1 TE, 1 DEF, 1 K. 8 team league. I had the 8th pick. What do you guys think? QB Tom Brady M Hasselbeck RB Tomlinson Westbrook Kevin Smith Mcfadden Willie Parker WR Reggie Wayne Ochocinco Desean Jackson Donald Driver Donny Avery TE Greg Olsen John Carlson DEF NY Giants K Nate Kaeding
Your team is stacked, even for an 8 team league. Greg Olsen looks poised for a breakout. Kevin Smith and Darren McFadden should both have good years. Your WR corps is solid to the bottom. Well done.
Thanks i suppose lol. If you saw my previous post on pg 2 you'll see my draft philosophy and my two other teams. Any opinion on who i should drop for a K still? I'm leaning towards Edwards.
I really think you can spare Chris Henry at this point, he might have a few games where he hauls in some long TD passes, but his value is minimal in a PPR league.
Had one lastnight, #6 pick in a 10 team touchdown league. QB: Drew Brees RB: Steve Slaton RB.Ryan Grant WR: Anquan Boldin WR: Anthony Gonzalez WR: Donnie Avery TE: Antonio Gates DEF: Pittsburg K: David Akers BN:Cedric Benson BN: Percy Harvin BN: Kevin Curtis BN: Fred Jackson BN: Michael Jenkins BN: Tim Hightower Didn't have a very good draft, WRs went fast.
Never good to not have a 1st option WR on your team. The quality of your team all depends on how highly your point system will value Brees.
In my league, standard Yahoo scoring but passing TDs are worth 6 and INTs -2. Ten team league with people I know through a mutual friend. Brees/Favre Moss/Jennings/Roy Williams/A. Bryant/D. Jackson/Ted Ginn Jr. P. Thomas/McFadden/D. Ward/Rice/Benson O. Daniels Kaeding San Diego's D/Special Teams
I told you to take Forte over Brees with the 6th pick. Now you have to hope and pray Rice/McFadden turn into studs.
How did I do? 12 teamer, 4 pt passing TDs, stars 3 wr, TE play as WR 1. (8) DeAngelo Williams 2. (17) Steve Slaton 3. (32) Dwayne Bowe 4. (41) T.J. Houshmandzadeh 5. (56) Jason Witten 6. (65) LenDale White 7. (80) Darren McFadden 8. (89) Brandon Marshall 9. (104) Matt Schaub 10. (113) Donald Brown 11. (128) Josh Morgan 12. (137) Troy Williamson 13. (152) Tampa Bay 14. (161) John Kasay
Seems high for Bowe (I'm iffy about Haley- he's got a quick trigger and junior high level disciplinary skills) and TJ (I got him 20 or 30 picks later in one league), but I suppose in such a WR intensive league it's not as bad as it looks. Hopefully Marshall will show up.
Thanks fellas, I feel pretty good about it. Dmac actually drew sneers from the rest of the teams when I picked him, we'll see. Felt the potential value for both Marshall and Schaub was too good to pass on even though neither was someone I was specifically targeting. Anyway, I appreciate the feedback.
Boldin is a first option in fantasy. I think his numbers are better than Fitz when they play together. #1 player in fantasy ppg (for ppr at least) in fantasy last year by a good margin. I just had a draft also. I feel a little lukewarm about it. 12 team league, 1 PPR, 4-pt passing TDs, 1 flex R/W/T spot: QB Schaub Garrard RB Forte L. Washington A. Bradshaw L. McCoy K. Faulk WR Boldin E. Royal A. Gonzalez L. Moore D. Avery N. Burleson TE Witten I plan to play matchups with defense/kicker. I don't have a backup TE and there's pretty much nothing left either. I'm thinking about picking up Pettigrew - anyone think he has a chance of doing anything this year? James Davis and Josh Morgan are also available and I have interest in them, but can really only get two of those three (would be willing to drop Burleson, Faulk).
Brees was the #1 player in our league last year. I kinda wished I would have waited though as he might have fallen back to me on the way down. Boldin has actually done really well for me the last 2 years (except for getting hurt last year) so I'm not too worried about him. I'm just not sold on Gonzalez and Avery as my 2nd and 3rd WR. Not too bad but your backup RBs are kinda questionable. Forte is a great pick for a PPR league.
NO backup QB???????? A lot of your players are high risk high reward. I would drop Troy Williamson for someone else if available. Here's how I did in a league similar to yours where I picked 1 spot ahead. Yahoo league... 12 teamer... 6 pt passing tds, stars 3 WR, TE play as WR I had LT ranked 2nd and Andre Johnson 9th overall. I'm stoked to say the least. 1. (7) LaDainian Tomlinson 2. (18) Andre Johnson 3. (31) Ronnie Brown 4. (42) Philip Rivers 5. (55) Roy Williams 6. (66) Lee Evans 7. (79) Reggie Bush 8. (90) Michael Crabtree 9. (103) Jeremy Shockey 10. (114) Kevin Curtis 11. (127) Brett Favre 12. (138) Justin Gage 13. (151) Leon Washington 14. (162) Hakeem Nicks 15. (175) Green Bay 16. (186) Josh Brown
Good team. Are there any good TE available on waivers? Shockey was a big disappointment last season and the Saints just traded for David Thomas.
