Everything looks better when you drink Gildz.. (She was smokin hot in the bar last nite)Huh? Must not see what u guys see. That's about as average a team as I've seen so far. Not strong in any 1 area even.
Maybe I need to drink some and look again.
Wow. Looking for 2015 glory with Gurley and Nuk, huh? (Don't understand what really changes with their 2017 situation compared to '16, but we'll see.) By punting on QB and TE you got nice RB and WR depth w/ 5 plausible starters at each position but having such an imbalanced team isn't for me.chew on this one boys

Hard to not draft a top-20 QB. Somehow you succeeded in that. Should have taken the QB over Jones there. Or even in rds 12-13. Bortles scored well last year due to most egregious , gross, garbage time production you'll ever see. I owned him. Loved those 4th quarter tds when they were down 30. I don't see that happening again. If he even keeps the job all year.chew on this one boys

I like it. Finding a 2nd FLEX every week might be a challenge tho. Crowder I really like this year. Everyone talking up Pryor, I could see Crowder being the better option. Maybe 90+ rec's if Doctson doesn't step up. Marshall probably a lock for 10 tds. Hes a bargain where he's going. Eli loves the big targets in the redzone. See Plaxico those last couple yrs. Could easily see something like that for Marshall. If 1 of those other WR flyers hit, team could have big time upside.From the 7th spot late Saturday nite

As drafted, I like the WR core a lot. Pretty deep and strong at the top. Outside of that, not much I like really. Rbs have upside for sure but there's questions on almost all of them after Gurley. Coleman at 5.3 is too aggressive.
Weak TE's and Puke-worthy qbs. Interesting draft tho.
Very strong team. Top two RBs will be extremely high volume (half the equation...). It's their actual production that remains to be seen - what they do with the opportunity. The reminder with the #2 - #4 WRs is that they're all on new teams. That adjustment is often tougher than we realize. Everyone picked up at their ADP, so no "steals", but looks like you may have drafted the best available throughout. Everyone (except me...) liking H Henry this year. Talented dude but would be very surprised if he puts up a big year as long as Gates is still around. At least he's your #2 and not needed for your 2nd flex, so no harm.From the 3:

Interesting team. Obviously a weak RB corp, unless someone like Lacy or AP surprises us. I'd want more than one sure contributor (Zeke....) to have any confidence that you'll get decent numbers from that group. Nice WR corp, though you're hearing some concerns about Landry and the Balt passing situation. Reed is a huge risk and only drafting one QB adds to your risk. Not sure what the QB waiver pool looks like in your league but I'd always want a dependable #2 QB on my roster. Not my kind of team for all these reasons. Just see too many downsides outweighing the possible upsides. Good luck.4-hole, just finished:

Decent #1's, by position, except for RB. (Ben/Evans/Olsen...). And we know Ben is hard to predict and Evans won't get the targets he did last year. Your RBs are extremely weak, and you'll have to guess right on what QB to start week to week. It looks like an extremely aggressive move to pick Cooper up at 2.6. I'd probably have preferred a handful of other WRs over him. I'm not sure where the upside is with this roster. The only possibility would be Coleman if D Freeman goes down. I wouldn't have wasted a spot for a #2 PK when you had other holes to fill, and probably would have found higher upside TEs as my number 2 and 3. Good luck.So you would think after all the years of doing this I would be getting better at it.Well then you would think wrong.Sucking again as usual at least I am consistent.Guess I will do one more and hope it turns out better.From the 7th spot.

Nice team. Good depth. Your potential flexes, Gillislee, DJax & Hooper are all strong, but it'll be infuriating to decide who to start week to week between them due to their volatility, and you'll often be wrong. I would have considered rostering Garoppolo as a Brady handcuff as a 3rd QB. You have enough depth if you suffer injuries in the other positions but not QB. Not sure what QBs went undrafted but if Palmer is still out there I'd pick him up as insurance if you don't want Garoppolo. I'd prefer either of them to Bortles, or roster 3 QBs.From the 1:

Gano is going to get cut so probably a wasted pick. Looks like you used an 18th round pick on him. After Zeke, the RBs are a little sketchy. Martin is the wildcard. If he comes back strong you're OK. If not, you won't want to rely on DJ for anything more than a bye week start. Can say the same thing about the WRs. You need Jeffery to have a very strong year because you don't know what you'll get from Decker. Overall, a nice core of Brady/Zeke/Cooper and Olsen but very little depth behind them so think this crew will struggle unless Martin and Jeffery have great years. Of course, if Freeman gets hurt that will vault Coleman up to a top 15 RB, but you can't depend on that happening. Good luck.JamieMurphy said:From the 7 hole:

Your QB strategy doesn't make sense to me but good luck with whatever you're thinking. The QBs you mention will only be on the waiver wire if they're hurt significantly. Stafford will get killed week #2 in NY. He can't be started when not playing in a dome. Other than just having Stafford, the WRs are a mess. Not just the risk with Allen (who comes with a lot more than just an injury risk...) but Maclin also - on a new team with a banged up QB. In the 8th, I probably would have preferred 5 other WRs over him and 10 over Coleman in the 9th. Overall, very nice RBs, TEs, PK and Defs, but your QB and WRs need a lot of work. Until they're fixed this team might struggle. Good luck.From the 3

Took Bal Def in 17th, then realized I hate their week 1 matchup, so I took Buffalo in the 19th since they are at home against the Jets.
Couple notes on this one. I wanted Demarius Thomas at the 3.03, he went 3.02. Keenan makes me nervous, especially as my #1, but if he stays healthy, I feel real good.
One drafter didn't show up, so the auto draft gave him 5 (FIVE!!!) QBs in the first 12 rounds. I drafted just one QB intentionally with the idea that Dak Prescott, Kirk Cousins, Derek Carr, and MAYBE Andrew Luck will be on the waiver wire at some point early. His #1 QB is Aaron Rodgers. I really want to be able to say I dropped Calvin Johnson for Kirk Cousins.
Totally fair assessment. I think it could be boom or bust on the WRs. I am also fairly confident in my ability to manage in season, which should help. I'll definitely be looking for the Tyreek Hill of 2017. (along with everyone else)Your QB strategy doesn't make sense to me but good luck with whatever you're thinking.

Not bad but I can definitely tell who you are in love with this year after seeing you post a couple teams. I have a feeling you will be disappointed at years end. We shall see.
Where did you finish last year???Did any of your 30+ teams last year finish ahead of mine? Haha. Jus sayin
But who do I own that I'll be dissapointed? You like Eifert and he's the 1 guy I have everywhere that's the riskiest. McCaffrey? Cooks? Meh. They will be monsters.
Lock. It. Up.
I don't care for this team at all. Its not a bad team by any stretch, but other than DJ and Eifert, there are no players I would really target where you got them. I see the upside with them, but just personal difference of opinion. So, I will say if this team does well, then I am probably in for a long year.From the 1:

Gotta love this guy full of confidence???Sounds like it's gonna be a long year for you Caesar. Good luck tho.
Going with tried and true and avoiding the rookies, hmmm. I like it, though I'm not sold on Crowell, I'm thinking Duke is going to have a bigger role than anticipated. I like having more depth and quality at TE, but hopefully you can get some production out of Clay. I'm also thinking someone who held off drafting a QB is screwed. You got a contender4th pick. Please give me your thoughts:
QB - M Ryan (8), Ben R (11), C Palmer (20)
RBs - D Murray (2), I Crowell (3), B Powell (6); D Sproles (10), C Thompson (13), J Conner (15)
WRs - A Brown (1), M Crabtree (4), E Sanders (5), J Matthews (12), R Woods (14), C Beasley (16)
TEs - M Bennett (7), J Witten (9), C Clay (17)
PK - A Vinatieri (18)
Def - Phila (19)
Taking Henry 6th is an example of someone who could help you in the championship round but can also prevent you from even getting there if he's not starting pretty early in the year. I'd have preferred to handcuff LB with Conner instead of A Morris possibly backing up DMC possibly for 6 games.Picking 2nd.
QB - Wilson (7), BigBen (10)
RBs - Leveon (1), D.Henry (6), Martin (8), McFadden (9), Jacquizz (12), Darkwa (17), A.Morris (20)
WRs - Hilton (2), D.Thomas (3), Tate (4), Snead (5), R.Anderson (13)
TEs - Witten (11), ASJ (15), Clay (16), DeValve (18)
PK - Prater (19)
Def - Houston (14)
Well... have at it. Admittedly, Darkwa and DeValve were panic/throwing darts. And they will probably be my first cuts (should've taken Calvin Johnson if I'm cutting them, anyways). I know I'm weak at TE, but just trying to keep my head above water there. Obviously not flexing TE.
Thanks for the feedback. Conner went earlier than I anticipated. Morris is only for a McFadden injury week 1 or pre week 1. He will be cut soon after. I think I can wait on Henry as I can play whatever TB back is starting.Taking Henry 6th is an example of someone who could help you in the championship round but can also prevent you from even getting there if he's not starting pretty early in the year.

Decent WRs, and it looks like Hilton went pretty late because of the Luck problem but you'll need him to have a year similar to last year. You're right about TEs. Witten should be OK but it's a mediocre group overall.
For your QBs, hopefully one of them will be home each week - that'll be the guy to start.
Good luck. This team has a lot of holes so I expect you'll need some luck and aggressive waiver wire work for it to compete.
I like it a lot. Would have liked it more going TE over Snead there. I Like Snead but you were fine with the 3 WR's taken at that point. And you likely passed on the likes of Eifert or Rudolph. Swap Snead/Witten for TE/WR and this could have been monster.Picking 2nd.

Champ rds or bust.
Made my thoughts known in the Zeke thread, but I agree. No way he makes it past the 2-3 turn. I have to agree with you on the risk being worth it at the 2.01, especially in a tournament format like the FBG. You can play it safe and win your league going away, but do nothing in the BIG three weeks ( like me last year), or you can take chances like that, sneak your way into the playoffs and really do some damage having an advantage over a lot of teams.Middle 3rd+, you won't be getting him. Can't imagine the Bell/DJ owner passing him over end of R2. Be crazy to do so. Having those duos in champ rds is a ridiculous adv. At 13 it was a risk for sure but one I'm willing to take. Replacement player + Zeke still a top 10 back IMO. Tread water, 4-3 ish or in the Pts mix, I'll take it. It is possible it gets reduced still, who knows.
Few of the owners were mocking the pick, not surprising. But the guys mocking it were likely the ones waiting to take him end of the 2nd.
This is a team I can see myself drafting pretty similar until you got past round 10. After that, not many of my target players, but hats personal preference.buballa said:Pick 11:

Decent team, but a couple of your early picks - A Rob & Miller - are a little sketchy. I don't have much hope for them. At least with A Rob you've got decent WR depth behind him. It looks like Miller's touches will be limited so will need to wait and see if that gets him back to his Miami production or not. Luck can be your make or break pick. If he's a top 5 QB you'll be fine - if not, probably in trouble.buballa said:Pick 11:
