Who gives a shit

Def

Ditto

I'm heavy on RBs and Packers, but plan to make a trade or two. Too many good RBs went for too little, I had to do it. Feel pretty good about my chances.

[MikeyJoe]

How many teams, and how many WRs do you start?

[MikeyJoe]

Just did one tonight too. (14 teams)

QB: Schaub, Bulger
RB: D. Williams, P. Thomas, L. Washington, D. Brown, J. Davis
WR: R. White, A. Boldin, A. Bryant, N. Burleson, D. Clowney
TE: Shiancoe, Shockey
Def: Chicago
K: Prater

[Monster]

How many teams, and how many WRs do you start?

10 teams. Start 2 WRs. I'll make a trade for another receiver.

Nice draft, though your QBs are a tad weak, IMO.

Yeah, I know. Schaub is risky, but he's one of those "if he stays healthy" guys.

Fine, I'll invite you next year.

[PipeDaddy]

Here's my best team this season:

QB: Tony Romo, Trent Edwards
RB: Maurice Jones-Drew, Derrick Ward, Reggie Bush, Earnest Graham, Julius Jones
WR: Reggie Wayne, Lee Evans, Roy Williams, Domenik Hixon, Chris Chambers
TE: Jason Witten
PK: Lawrence Tynes
TD: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

[Monster]

I think I have Tynes in pretty much every league this year, mainly because his bye week is 10, so I have 9 weeks where I don't have to think about a kicker.

[MikeyJoe]

BTW, I never answered your original post - your team looks very good, although I've never done a 10 team league so it's tougher for me to judge how much talent is common on those teams. Like you said, you're obviously way too RB heavy - I'd see if I could trade 1 or 2 for a better #3 receiver than Mason or Driver.

Please save this: Mason will have a great year. 80 catches, 1,100 yards, 10 tds.

But you're right. For some reason, WRs were getting bid up pretty high, but solid RBs like Benson, Brown, and Stewart (insurance for Deangelo) went cheap. Heck, Taylor went for a dollar, and the guy with AP had money left and a roster spot, but didn't bid.

I won this league last year, btw.

I just roll with one kicker and then when the time comes, ditch him and start using the waiver wire every week for the one with the best matchup.

This.

I hate kickers.

The catches and yards are doable given his #1 status and career averages, but you are out of your mind if you think Mason is getting 10 TDs. His career high is 9, and that was 8 years ago. I think he'll have a decent year, but I would temper my expectations for a 35 year old receiver who retired* in July.

*Then again, maybe this explains why you like him so much. ;)

Yeah. My normal draft strategy is to see if there's any guys who play in domes available in the last round of the draft. On his bye week, I drop him and pick up someone else who's already had their bye so I don't have to worry about it for the rest of the season.

LOL at Ced Benson being considered a solid back...

Wait and see, grasshopper.

[The Full Monte]

I'm heavy on RBs .


No such thing

[cjhawks]

10 team league

QB: Warner, Eli
RB: DeAngelo, Barber, Addai, Cadillac, LeSean McCoy
WR: Wayne, H. Ward, Lee Evans, Ginn Jr., Sidney Rice, Earl Bennett
TE: G. Olsen, Visanthe
DST: Vikings
K: Longwell

Not happy w/ receivers, but I can live with it. Gut feeling that Earl Bennett will have a good year with Cutler (they were teammates at Vandy)

Feel pretty decent about my RB corp. While Barber, Addai, and Cadillac will lose touches to others, still feel they will get the majority of looks, especially in the red zone.

Hopefully Warner has another decent year. If not, I'm comfortable w/ Eli as backup. And there are a few other QB free agents I can look at too if I get desperate (S. Hill, Delhomme, Sanchez, Flacco to name a few)

[MikeyJoe]

That seems kind of weak for 10 teams, cj.

[brantshawks]

I've got my first ever auction draft tonight. I'm going to have a pretty worthless team.

[cjhawks]

That seems kind of weak for 10 teams, cj.

Could be, i'm not a fantasy guru. But I won the same league last year w/ a team that was a lot worse than this.

[Rodney Farva]

12 Team League

QBs: Palmer, Cassel
RBs: Chris Johnson, R. Brown, R. Bush, J. Jones, & S. Greene
WRs: R. White, B. Marshall, H. Nicks, C. Henry, J. Maclin, & S. Smith (NYG)
TEs: G. Olsen
K: Mason Crosby
Def: Packers

If my WRs can keep themselves out of jail and not suspended by their team, I'll be ok. If not, I am totally fucked.

[Monster]

Another draft:

QB

Rodgers
Favre
Freeman

RB

Turner
Gore
Taylor
Norwood
J Davis
Coffee

WR

Driver
S. Smith (Car)
Mason
Hester
Ginn

TE

Winslow
Olsen

K

Tynes

Def

Chargers


In this 10-team league you HAVE to play a rookie non-kicker every week, hence the emphasis in my draft. Coffee is also insurance for Gore. I'm hoping Freeman starts soon. Usually, the winner of this league has a strong rookie.

[bearbull24.5]

For the first time in years I dont have a fantasy team. I managed to nap right through my draft.

I feel pretty damn good about this

[MikeyJoe]

A lot of people seem to be higher on Ronnie Brown than I was.

[MikeyJoe]

A guy in my league wasn't able to be there for the draft, so he set up his rankings and set it to auto-pick. He ended up with:

QB: Cutler, Cassel
RB: Forte, T. Jones, A. Peterson (Bears), S. Morris
WR: Hester, P. Harvin, J. Galloway, Sims-Walker
TE: Olsen, Pettigrew
D/St: Eagles, Dolphins
K: Gould, Nedney

That might be the worst team I've ever seen.

[Rodney Farva]

Must be a Bears fan. I could live with Cutler, Forte & Olsen but the rest is garbage.

Are you kidding? That team is AWESOME!

That's exactly what I said. I'd take those three (probably not all of them), but the rest is turrible.

[Rodney Farva]

I wouldn't want all of them on the same team either, but at least they are respectable FF players.

[imissjoeyrange]

My fantasy sports pet peeve: the "look at my team" post that fails to mention the number of teams in the league.

[Thagoods]

Did my draft on sunday. 12 team league.

QB - Roethlisberger, Flacco
RB - Slaton, Grant, Felix Jones, L. McCoy
WR - R. Moss, Desean Jackson, Driver, C. Henry, D. Henderson, M. Bradley
TE - Gates, Z. Miller
D/ST - Baltimore, Jacksonville
K - Dawson, Hartley

Everyone has to draft those exact positions, you start half every week.

[MikeyJoe]

Milton Bradley sucks, dude.

UPDATE: Benson 4th in the league in rushing yards, on pace for over 1,400 yards.

Mason 14th in receiving yards, on pace for 76 catches, 1,136 yards and 8 tds.

[MikeyJoe]

How's Troy Williamson doing?

[Jimmie Dimmick]

Vincent Jackson was a nice grab on my part.

[Monster]

How's Troy Williamson doing?

He got hurt in week 2 and is out for the season.

But thanks for playing. ;)

[The Poster Formerly known]

I really should play with you guys. Some terrible teams listed here so far.

Ten team league, PPR. Came into the draft two picks too late and got stuck with LT and S. Jackson. At least Jackson's been serviceable. This was my highest scoring team from the weekend as well. No additions since the draft.

QB: Roethlisberger, Schaub
RB: LT, S. Jackson, Willie Parker, Glen Coffee
WR: Brandon Marshall, DeSean Jackson, Vincent Jackson, Steve Smith (Giants), Mike Sims-Walker, Nate Burleson, Nate Washington
TE: Vernon Davis, Brent Celek
K: Varies by week
Def: Denver

Two flex positions, heavy on WRs, but considering I start 2 and have 2 more in flex positions, not too heavy. Can always make a trade for another RB if I need to. Have a couple feelers out right now as well.

Threw up 175 points, and left an additional 25 points on my bench (didn't start Roeth or Nate Washington who scored more than the people who started over them).

[Monster]

Are you saying you drafted Steve Smith and Sims-Walker?

[L. Wade Childress]

this week i am starting literally the worst fantasy team ever

Are you saying you drafted Steve Smith and Sims-Walker?

Indeed. Draft wasn't until week three though so I had a better idea of what was going on in the league. Looking like a pretty good decision now ehh?

And if Steve Smith made it undrafted in a ten team league with a 6 man bench, you're playing with some terrible players. Considering he was basically the #1 guy coming into the season for the Giants, or expected to be. Sims-Walker was a bit of a reach, but I picked him up in my last round before I got my kicker and defense.

Week 3, huh? That makes more sense.

[MikeyJoe]

What's the fun in waiting till Week 3 to draft?

[Monster]

What's the fun in waiting till Week 3 to draft?

Then you can draft guys who have shown something the first 2 weeks and go onto a message board to make fun of teams drafted by guys 3 weeks before the season started.

Duh.

Benson = 1,250 yards with one game left.

PD = Pwn3d.

Mikey, looks like you were right about Mason's TDs. 72 catches, 1,005 yards with 7 tds. Dropped #8 last week in the end zone. Dropped another sure TD a few weeks ago (would have went for about 60 yards, iirc). Good call.
