Yeah really, I didn't get nearly any of what I was hoping for in my 12 team league and I picked 12th. The couple of people who for some reason decided autodraft sucked up players I wanted that I didn't think others would really pick. Blah.
I'm looking a lot better in my 8 team pay league.

My plan was to get great RB value in the later rounds, but I was seeming poached of SO MANY RBs it's amazing. If I could've had Bradshaw/Jones, I would've been so happy. now I'm going to have to fight/scratch on the waiver wire and pray I don't have an injury to Vick early. I'm happy with the WR value I have, even if Lloyd is not an elite WR he'll still be ok w/ Orton there and the Falcons invested too much not to push Juilo Jones.

Yahoo has him rated ahead of Mathews right now.

Overally pretty happy with it. A lot of my bench productivity is predicated on injuries.

The Turner-McFadden combo could potentially get really nice, but it's definitely nowhere near the team I had last year. Unless someone really breaks out, most of my bench picks (aka the extra DEF and K) are just going to be used as fill-ins for the starters bye weeks then I'm dropping them. Took a gamble on A.J. Green and I hope that pays off.

Did he get traded? Why so early in the draft to take him?
Just curious..
I do like ur econ draft
I'm pretty sure that my group of RB1, RB2, WR1, WR2 and TE is the best in the league going off projections (which mean little). I feel confident that no one has a group as good as Charles, Bradshaw, Jennings, Steve Johnson and Vernon Davis, which is good, because if Joe Flacco is even a top 13 QB I'll be lucky. Nobody really has a great flex in this league. But I'm really counting on Flacco to be adequate.

Happens every year. At first people go for value, but it's a 16 teamer - if you wait on your QB you'll find nothing left. I mean, besides TJack I'm not sure there is a starting QB on the waiver wire. Even Alex Smith got drafted!Puddles said:
With 16 teams, I think it's easy to get into an ADP-value mental trap. When my 2nd round pick came up, I didn't think that Romo, Big Ben or Schaub represented good value for the slot. But with 16 teams, you can get completely fucked at the QB position, especially when you have douchebags like Romo Wittenhispants taking 2 QBs in their top four (my strategy was to get Stafford in the 4th).

I think that will eventually happen - I took Hasselbeck more because of an early bye week than anything else - but for future seasons I do recommend a shorter bench. With so many teams a shorter bench prevents stashing that kills any waiver wire activity, in turn forcing us to make real decisions.
acksman said:
Agreed, absolutely the right move since Peyton's early season is compromised. The trick for you is simply that you're going to have dormant value that needs to be dealt.
Alright Fantasy-GAF, as a total newbie to fantasy in joining a work-league this year, I could really use a little help in a surprising big early decision.
Skill position-wise, I wound up coming out of my draft with Michael Vick, Adrian Peterson and Steven Jackson as my RBs, and some combination of Dwayne Bowe, Jeremy Maclin, Kenny Britt and Nate Burleson as my main wideouts. I was fairly satisfied with it overall, but I feel like my WR core is a weakness right now, and another guy in the league REALLY wants Vick. This wound up bringing a third guy to the table and after some deliberation back and forth, here's the deal that he's proposing:
I give up: Vick, AP, and Maclin
Receiving in return: Aaron Rodgers, Vincent Jackson, and Rashard Mendenhall
A lot of big pieces move around in this, and it's tempting. I have more faith in Rodgers' consistency than I do Vick's, and if Ken Britt manages to keep himself in good standing then having him, Vincent Jackson and Bowe would give me the most lethal receiving corps in my league. Going from AP to Mendenhall is obviously a downgrade, but probably not as big of a hit as what I would gain at QB and WR...yet for some reason I'm really, really hesitant to deal what is right now the surest thing on my team.
I've been pondering over this thing all day and neither answer seems clear to me, even still.

Three Week 1 starting QBs remain on the waiver wire now that Sexy Rexy was snapped up by Peyton's Creaky Neck to back up Rivers in Week 6 (Grossman is at home against Nnamdi and the Eagles... it won't be pretty... and that's even if he's starting at that point and not Beck):Crazymoogle said:

I expected QB scarcity after reviewing your draft from last year. Main reason I scooped up McCoy so quickly in the 9th. I wanted nothing to do with any other starting QB as far as backups go.Puddles said:
What surprised me more than anything was how quickly all of my sleeper receivers were pillaged. Was not expecting to be so thin at that position post-draft but thankfully that's the easiest position to salvage via the waiver wire.
Given the number of bye week headaches we all have, I would have actually preferred a deeper bench. I thought the draft was fascinating and was thrilled to see everyone taking their time to think their picks through so meticulously. Should portend to a competitive season. I'm really looking forward to it.Crazymoogle said:

I love this deal for you and really the only variable that comes to mind for me is a potential downturn for Mendenhall's numbers given his 420+ touches last season. This isn't nearly as big of a red flag as Maclin's mysterious health issues, but it's still worth noting.Doorman said:
If you have the bench depth, pick up Isaac Redman for insurance after making this trade.
Help me out here.
Thinking of going Maurice Jones-Drew and Desean Jackson in return I get Greg Jennings and Felix Jones.
my team
Qb- Drew Brees
wr- Desean Jackson, Santonio Holmes, Marrio Manningham
Rb- Adrian Peterson, Maurice Jones-Drew
w/r- Beanie Wells
Bench- Boldin, Brandon Marshall, Ryan Matthews, Brandon Jacobs, Lee Evans, Ryan Grant
Either that or I'll trade Jackson and Holmes for Andre Johnson and move Marshall in to a starting spot.

msdstc said:
You should be starting Marshall, no questions asked, over Manningham.
I would also give Mathews the start over Wells with Chester now in the mix in AZ.
You're team's strength is clearly at WR. Boldin off the bench as your bye week, flex or weekly match up option is a nice luxury.
Therefore, I'm suggesting that you do not make this trade. Jennings is a streaky WR for fantasy. Look at the first half of last season. Before their week 9 bye he had 6 TDs, which is great. However, during that time he had only one 100 yard game, which is shit. The TDs offset his actual production. Over those first 9 weeks he averaged 4 catches and 58 yards a game. With what you already have on your team, that's not worth giving up MJD for.

Oh sweet, Yahoo said I had the best draft in NQ3?
lol I could absolutely see a reason to start Manningham over Marshall. It's called Henne. Look, based on sheer talent I think Marshall has much better upside, but damn, he had a lot of lean weeks last year, and now it's the Pats strolling into town.
Beyond that I totally agree; I would rather have MJD over Felix at this time, and Greg had a serious questionmark about how he performs if all of the other receiving options are in the lineup. I mean, people can be down on DJax if they like but he's got Vick tossing to him...

Crazymoogle said:
hmmm now I'm not so sure which way to go. MJD's stock went up when Rashad went down, but I'm really low on Desean this year. I need to get something in return for him, and that's why I feel my WR depth is a strength in the trade market.
GQman2121 said:
Matthews over wells? I dunno I'm pretty high on Beanie this year. Chester Taylor is old, I think he's more of an insurance pickup.
Milabrega said:
I have a ton of WR depth, and I love my RBs, but I would rather a better number 1 receiver. I feel like I could put Marshall, Holmes, and Manningham almost interchangeably. So I feel like trade off some of the depth for more valuable starting receivers overall. Both times reap benefits, but I would feel more comfortable with a top tier Receiver on my team to round it off.
How about Desean Jackson and Santonio Holmes for an elite reciever? That would leave.
1. WR1 (Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, Vincent Jackson, etc.)
2. Brandon Marshall
3. Manningham
Boldin as the alternate.
GQman2121 said:
AP and a healthy MJD are a brutal 1-2 at RB. I'd say that's his team's biggest strength. He doesn't have a true #1 WR, but he has three very capable #2s.
Also, I wouldn't trade Andre Johnson or Megatron for two #2 WRs, but if you can find an owner who takes that trade, go for it.

You gave up a lot at RB and WR to get Vick and Gates. It depends on a lot of things. If Brandon Lloyd has a repeat of last year, you should be fine at every position except RB2. And it's very possible that Vick and Gates will win a few games for you themselves.

That's the thing that kills me. In this thread I have said the point of FF is picking a team that minimalizes risk yet gives you the best chances to win. I also believe you win a league by winning Week to Week, and trading players a lot more frequently than most. That's what kills me about my pick, not only did I spend 3-4 months talking about Vick will come back to Earth bigtime, I had to build a team that is the opposite of my normal strategy. Most of my WR core is risky, but it's deep. I also really like the sleepers I have.Puddles said:

Red Blaster said:
Is this Yahoo standard or ESPN standard? You've got:
QB: Schaub/Orton (a good compromise)
WR: Nicks/Austin/Floyd/Braylon/Mason/Moore (Two good receivers and some gambles)
RB: Turner/Hightower/Jackson/TJ/Brown (One great RB, a couple of job-at-risk borderline RB2s, and filler)
So your big problem is RB. You have backups, but not lottery tickets. Neither guy is as likely to become a starter as a lot of the other tickets on guys with injury histories or recent shaky performances. On WR, I'd argue Floyd and Braylon are about equally as likely to do anything, although you'll probably end up frustrated with both. I'd also argue you picked defense way too early considering the rank, but if you like em, stick with it. (Nonetheless, HT and Jackson that late is not too shabby.)
My advice is pretty simple: be ready to cut loose Mason, Moore, Brown, and Jones the instant anything interesting comes along. In a 12 teamer, these guys are probably going to top out as waiver players. (Moore has upside, but he's WR3. On the Raiders.) The most upside I see of those guys is Brown, and that's only if McCoy is KOed early in the season.

I liked my draft except that I autopicked Reggie Wayne in the 3rd. Not bad value but I would of went for Bradshaw in a heartbeat. Luckily Beanie fell in the 4th and should make a decent #2. Marshall and McGahee are solid flex plays, both have potential. QBs got drafted early and I was hesitant to pick one early and ended up with Bradeford which I I'm not a big fan but McDaniels turned Orton in a fantasy starter so there is potential there. Fitzpatrick had a great year and should be solid as a backup.
It was strange drafting with so many people, the biggest I had done before was 12. You definitely need to jump on someone early instead of hoping they come back to you. Most had a good a draft and there is no clear cut favorite. Thursday can't come soon enough.
