The guys that drafted in a 10 owner league and with a PPR format - could you PM me your draft results? I like looking at results to see where my guys are getting taken...

~thanks

Awesome, thank you guys. I thought that since I still had Calvin Johnson, that would lessen the blow of losing Andre. Then being able to pick up a bona-fide top 10 back for one of them might help my wishy washy RB situation. I think you guys talked me out of it though!

Thanks again for the advice.

Any thoughts on Cedric Benson? Can I get away with him as a 2nd RB? I'm thinking going RB-WR-WR-RB-QB and by my guesstimation Benson would be the worst I could do at the 4th pick.

In my 16 team league Benson was the 1st pick of the 10th round (snake draft). So you might have a better option there anyhow.

Wow, that seems late. In my 12 team Benson went 9(3), or 99th overall. Still far away from TLK's.

RBs who went in my 4th round (PPR):
Derrick Ward
Knowshown Moreno

In my 5th:
Felix Jones
Thomas Jones
Joseph Addai

I have Benson above four of those... Ward being the exception.

Well, if you want to take him there, go ahead. He very well could be available later. His ADP on Yahoo! is 112.8

The biggest challenge sometimes is /not/ doing anything. You are always looking for an advantage, but in your case, I think holding is the best policy.

General Mike -- gotta be honest...not a big fan. Just too many guys I don't have faith in for a variety of reasons.

Passaglia -- tough for me to judge that team since there are only 8 teams in your league. I think I really like your team though. There's not a slot that I have any serious questions.

Colt Crazy -- same thing for me judging since you only have 8 teams but I think I like your team as well. I might trade one of your RB for a more consistent WR. I'm always petrified to have Westbrook on my team but he can often carry huge value in trades.

K0ruptr -- I agree with your assessment. Your WRs leave some to possibly be desired. I'd figure out who has Willie Parker and see if you could work something for Mendenhall to get a WR. Maybe package him and Holt to get a better option?

Thanks, rowech. The individual defense makes that league weird, and the scoring is always wonky compared to other leagues, so it can definitely be difficult. I'm definitely interested in other opinions, and will post my 12-team league roster after I have that draft on Wednesday.

I wasn't going to post my team but I really thought I had a poor draft - what do you guys think?

10 man PPR league - 6 pnts for all TD. 1 pnt for every 25 yds rushing/receiving. 1 pnt for every 50 yds. passing.

QB: Brady & Delhomme
RB: P.Thomas - C.Portis - Kevin Smith - Jonathan Stewart - Chester Taylor
WR: L.Fitz - Anthony Gonzalez - Earl Bennett - J. Cotchery - Chris Henry
TE: Shockey - Zach Miller
K: Who cares
DT: Who cares

Am I being to hard on myself?

Haven't played in a 10 team league in awhile, but to me, you seem to have a decent team.

QB - Top 3 QB here. Good job.
RB: Thomas and Smith I would think would give you an above average RB core.
WR: Fitz is a top 4 WR, Gonzalez a top 20, and I'm guessing if you're active on the waiver wire in a 10 team league you can find another top 15-25 WR.
TE: Don't like Shockey as a #1 and actually Miller better. You're a bit weak here.

Overall, seems like a playoff team to me.


Also, pretty cool feature I found.

You enter in your team's roster and league settings and then it auto-generates four different guys analysis of yours teams weaknesses and strengths. Seems pretty neat.

Fair. I rolled the dice early on Rice and Knowshon. Would have liked a better #1 QB, but i didn't like the gamble of guys like McNabb or Palmer.

You have good RB depth. I think that Jackson will do really well this season. You will probably have to be active trading the first couple weeks of the season. Try to sell one of your RBs high after a good game or two and buy a QB or WR low.

Last year, Portis ran out of gas. If he comes out of the gates gangbusters, I'd consider trading him early.

QB: I think you're okay here. You have two nice sleepers and between the two, I think one will be an average starter for a 10 team league.

RB: Other then Felix and maybe Ward (depends on how many carries Graham and Cadillac get), I think the guys you drafted might be a bit overrated based on the ADPs I've been seeing. I do think you have excellent depth and probably above average the position.

WR: I think you're probably a little above average here.

Just being honest I don't like your team at all Danny, what draft position were you? Lynch should be good but missing the first 3 games will hurt.

I'm not sure I can even figure out who your first pick was?

at least your loaded at TE.

12 team PPR league. 10 of the 12 teams are savvy FF drafters you would expect with a 300 buy in. 4pts pass TD, all other 6. 10yds rush/rec 1pt. 20yds pass 1pt.

QB - Brees, Cassel
RB - R.Brown, K.Smith, F.Jones, F.Jackson, S.Green
WR - A.Johnson, Royal, Coles, Avery, Hixon
TE - Z.Miller

Went #1 WR then #1 QB which is why my backs look weak. Im actually fine with those two as starters. Royal was the best WR I could have gotten in the 5th round.

Finally had my draft over the weekend. I'd like to know peoples' thoughts.

Scoring

Touchdown-heavy, big-play heavy league.

QB (1 starter)
TD: 4 pts + 1 pt/20 yds
Yardage: 100 yds = 1 pt, 200 yds = 3 pts, 300 yds = 6 pts, etc.

RB (2 starters, can swap 1 for a 4th WR/TE)
TD: 6 pts + 1 pt/10 yds
Yardage: 50 yds = 1 pt, 100 yds = 3 pts, 150 yds = 6 pts, etc.

WR/TE (3 starters)(interchangeable, no required TE spot)
TD: 5 pts + 1 pt/15 yds
Yardage: 50 yds = 1 pt, 100 yds = 3 pts, 150 yds = 6 pts, etc.

K (1 starter)
PAT: 1 pt
FG: 1 pt/10 yds.

DEF/ST (1 starter)
Pts Allowed: 15 - pts allowed (15 pts for shutout, 12 pts for 3 pts allowed, 8 pts for 7 pts allowed, no negatives)
Turnovers: 2 pts
Sacks: 1 pt
TDs: 6 pts.

Roster (keepers listed in italics)

QB: Eli Manning, David Garrard, Kerry Collins
RB: Matt Forte, Brian Westbrook, Ronnie Brown, Tim Hightower
WR/TE: Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Anthony Gonzalez, Torry Holt, Chris Cooley
DEF/ST: Minnesota Vikings, Jacksonville Jaguars
K: Nick Folk, Sebastian Janikowski

My Analysis

QB: I had the #1 overall pick in my draft, but couldn't turn that into a top-flight QB despite my best efforts. All of the big names were kept, and the asking price was too high for Brady, Manning (Peyton) and Rodgers. I was pleased to see the Eli was still available at 2.04, and I plan to play the matchup game with him and Garrard most of the season. Collins is strictly depth (lack of depth killed me last year).

RB: You can tell from my scoring that this is a RB-focused league, so RBs are the focus of a lot of guys' keepers, myself included. The best guys available going into the draft were Ryan Grant and Steven Jackson, and they were gone by the 9th pick. Forte will be my steady points producer, and I'll probably prefer Westbrook over Brown (depending on matchups) from week-to-week. Beanie Wells will probably get a lot of Hightower's touches in the desert, but Hightower will be the goal-line guy I think, we should make him a decent fill-in on bye weeks if necessary.

WR/TE: The obvious strength of my team. I took Fitzgerald at #1 overall, and pairing him up with Andre Johnson gives me the best WR corps in the league, without question. Week-to-week Gonzalez probably is my 3rd starter, but a favorable matchup here and there will get Holt or Cooley a start.

DEF/ST: Minnesota was the 4th defense selected (Bears, Steelers, and Ravens were off the board at that point). I took the Vikes over the G-men, but it was a close thing. Overall defensively I think both will be relatively close (two truly dominant defensive lines), but the potential of Percy Harvin as a kick returner outshines anything the Giants have to offer.

K: Nick Folk...meh. Not too excited here, but Folk was a relatively late pickup. He'll kick in a dome for 9 of his games this year, as well as 1 game at Mile High. A strong leg and relatively accurate...but I have to question how many opportunities he'll have compared to years past. My best hope is that defenses stack the line inside the 20 and the Cowboys have to resort to a lot of field goals when Barber/Jones get stuffed.

*One additional note. For reasons I have yet to fathom, my league requires everyone to have 2 kickers and 2 defenses when the draft is done, but not that you keep that many once the season gets started. So as soon as waivers open up (today), a lot of guys drop theirs and go for some sleepers. So the Jaguars and Seabass are gone soon.

That was to Spleen

For DK, not related to your team, but I don't like that scoring at all as it devalues WR and TE.

For your team, QB's are weak, I have Manning ranked about 20th for QB's.

RB's look really good, though with the receiving scoring, Westbrook has slightly lower value in your league.

Receivers are great even with the reduced scoring.

Overall a very strong team, though I really don't like Manning for fantasy.

1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 RB/WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D/ST

Here's my squad:

QB: Brees, Palmer
RB: D. Williams, J. Stewart, Felix Jones, Leon Washington
WR: Antonio Bryant, Roddy White, Braylon Edwards, Donald Driver, Steve Breaston
TE: Tony Gonzalez, John Carlson
K: Mason Crosby
D/ST: Vikings, Dolphins

Here's my question. I'm looking to make a trade, do you guys think I should go for another #1 back to go with Williams and ride it out with the WR's, or stick with my backs and shoot for a true #1 WR? I'm not sold on Bryant, only bc I think the Bucs QB's suck, I know I shouldn't really doubt White, but I do. Edwards can be huge, but at the same time can be mediocre, and I'm pretty confident Driver/Breaston will be solid, but not spectacular.

If it were me, I'd be trying to make a deal for a starting back that is not in a running-back-by-committee situation. You'll get much more consistent production that way, and I think with that RB/WR flex position you'd be better off with a RB in that spot week-in and week-out. Jones and Washington are talented, but how many touches are those guys going to get, really?

I share your hesitation on Bryant as well. Leftwich's windup is so long that DBs can stop for a coffee break and still have time to break on the ball, so a lot of balls intended for him are going to get deflected or picked off. Nothing against Bryant himself, but it's only the really exceptional WRs out there who can be productive no matter who is throwing them the ball (Andre Johnson, TO, etc).

Alright guys, some big concerns with my draft. My history in this league is 1 title, 2 second place finishes and a 9'th place. We're a 12 team league, we start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 D, 1 K with yard scoring (1 point per 20 passing, receiving, 1 point per 10 rushing), all tds for 6 points, and point per reception.

QB- Tom Brady, David Garrard
RB- Ronnie Brown, Kevin Smith, Thomas Jones, Joseph Addai
WR- Randy Moss, Dwayne Bowe, DeSean Jackson, Torry Holt, Donald Driver
TE- Zack Miller (Oak), Jeremy Shockey
D- San Diego
K- Nate Kaeding

Running back looks like a disaster to me and outside of the QB spot, not really sure how I look the rest of the way. I usually am disappointed following a draft and then end up well but I would love your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Brady to Moss will help make up for RB, but I would pray that Ronnie Brown has a breakout year. Kevin Smith is decent too.. Give it a couple weeks, maybe Holt/Bowe will start hot and you can come up with some kind of deal for an Ideal back.

QB is great. I think if you can trade Jones for a different running back with his value then your RB will be ok. I think Jones is going to be just about done this year and will disappoint owners. WR are solid, TE are ok, K and D are fine too.

Thanks K0ruptr and Danny, appreciate it. Kind of thinking the same thing regarding pulling off a trade.

I guess I don't think Ill win but with a lot of these picks I don't really feel there were better players I passed on

Slaton, Fitzgerald, Jennings, Romo, Jones, Lendale were my first 6 picks

12 Team (1 QB/1 RB/3 WR/1 TE/1 FLEX/1 K/1 DEF) non-ppr. Picking 4th.

QB - M. Schwab (4), C. Palmer (11)
RB - M. Forte (1), R. Rice (5), A. Bradshaw (9), L. McCoy (10)
WR - Roddy White (2), A. Boldin (3), L. Evans (6), A. Gonzalez (7), K. Walter (8), P. Crayton (16)
TE - J. Finley (14), B. Celek (15)
K - S. Gostkowski (12)
DEF - Chicago (13)

As a bonus, I was running my mouth to the previous champion and he let me pick his K/DEF for Week 1 when I play him. Dave Raymer and Detroit Lions were the selections.

TLK,

Good job getting Forte 4th, I've seen him go 1, 2 and 3 so I think that is good value there. White is solid, as is Boldin, and even if the rest of your recievers have down years, I think your good here. (Crayton is good value in the 16th round). K and DEF seems decent, although IMO Gostkowski won't kick as many FG's as last year.

Touching on RB again, I'm not sold on Rice being the man in Baltimore, McGahee isn't a bad back, and seems to be getting the majority of the goalline carries here, as 10 TD scorer McClain has moved to FB. McCoy might be the best value here if anything happens to westbrook. (and it already seems to be a little bit) Bradshaw is a good back to have also, knowing Brandon Jacobs and the way he runs.

TE leaves a bit to be desired. Where did Shiancoe, John Carlson and Vernon Davis get drafted? I do like Finley this year tho. Not so high on Celek.

QB is scary as those 2 have a not so good injury history. If they stay healthy they both could be top 10 fantasy QB's. but I'd rather have someone who can play through injuries or at least not have the injury history of them.

Good luck with the season, and overall you have a pretty decent team.

Heres My first team of the season, 20 team league, starting 2 QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, 2 TE, D, K.

Points are 5 yards per point for RB/WR, WR tds are worth 7, and its 25 yds per point passing with 4 points for TDs.

I had the 20th pick which had me stoked.

QB - Aaron Rodgers
QB - Philip Rivers
RB - Cedric Benson
RB - Derrick Ward
WR - Ted Ginn Jr.
WR - Michael Jenkins
WR - Chris Henry
TE - Greg Olsen
TE - Jermichael Finley
K - Neil Rackers
D/ST - Atlanta
BN- RB LEON WASHINGTON (Got him in like round 9 or so.)
BN- WR Malcolm Kelly - Might start if he plays a lot for the skins
BN- WR Austin Collie
BN- WR Joshua Cribbs
BN- WR Andre Caldwell
BN- WR Jason Avant
BN- QB Chris Simms
BN- QB Chad Henne
BN- RB Bernard Scott
BN- WR Patrick Crayton

I was amazed at the depth I was able to assemble in a 20 team draft. The league is heavily slanted toward yardage for RB and WR, and I think I got 3 RB who will get significant PT. The plan with WR is to play matchups and hot hands most of the season, because a lot of these guys are bubble number 2s for their teams. I think we should be in quite good shape.

20 team league starting 2 QBs? That's madness! Not to mention that draft must have taken forever!

Ok,.. 13 team league (yes, it's stupid) 1 QB 2 RB 2 WR 1 RB/WR 1 TE 1 DST...

QBs get a full 6 points for TDs:

QB: Peyton Manning, Kerry Collins
RB: Clinton Portis, Darren McFadden, Tim Hightower, Earnest Graham, Ricky Williams
WR: L. Coles, Vincent Jackson, Derrick Mason
TE: Tony Gonzalez
DST: Giants
K: Vinatieri


Because Vinatieri was my keeper (we could only keep players drafted after round 5 last year and I had a horrible draft last year), it forced me to take another K. So I'll be waiving Matt Bryant as soon as it will let me and picking up a WR.

That was my first reaction as well. You're basically saying about 8 teams cannot compete.

Not to mention bye weeks and how that would skew overall scoring.
