[Gamma1210]

1.15 - Larry Johnson, KC RB13

4.02- Darren McFadden, Rookie RB22

2.02 - Terrell Owens, DAL, WR2

3.15- Donald Driver, GB, WR19

Overall pretty happy with my team. I was hoping one of the TEs was going to fall to 3.15. Looking at the other drafts, there was a small chance Driver would have fallen to 5.15, but WRs have been going quick and I really think he is going to be solid again in PPR. I would say there is a 95% chance he improves on his TDs this year as well. I like him and TO as a solid core or WRs, ones who shouldn't be shut out in many if any games.

Was really happy LJ fell to me in round 1. I don't expect top 5 numbers, but if he is healthy and KC does something in the draft for the oline, he should be in the top 10. I thought about James and Graham at 4.02, but I decided McFadden's upside was too much to pass on.

This is my second survivor draft, at spots 11 and 15. I think the largest difference in drafting in the top 5 is flexibility. You have a top 5 RB, so you can take any positions in 2-3, while the guys at the end have to make up the difference. There is a lot of depth at WR1 this year, so top 5 drafters have a lot of choices. Bottom 4 or so drafters are more locked in and I feel it hurts a lot to go after an early QB or TE if you are at the end.

 

[FUBAR]

1.14 - FUBAR - Maurice Jones-Drew, JAX, RB12

4.03 - FUBAR - Edgerrin James, AZ, RB23

2.03 - FUBAR - Reggie Wayne, IND, WR3

3.14 - FUBAR - Santonio Holmes, PIT, WR18



Loving this quartet to start the draft.

I didn't expect to take 2 backs this high, but had to go with value with Edge. Now I can work other positions while others scrounge for their 2nd back.

MJD should outproduce his draft slot as RB12 in PPR - he could be top 7 easily.

Edge was a top 10 caliber back last year. I don't think he'll produce top 10 stats this year, but top 15-20 is certainly attainable - pretty good for RB23.

WRs are king in this set up, I got two very good ones.

Wayne could be the top WR, or at worst top 5.

Holmes = Mr. Big Play and a 3rd year WR (BREAKOUT!) with the best young QB in the game.



* - I know, 3rd year WR doesn't = breakout, but it sounds good.

5/6 Turn edit:

5.14 - FUBAR - David Garrard, JAX, QB13

6.03 - FUBAR - Tony Scheffler, DEN, TE11

Finally addressed QB and TE.

Garrard was surprisingly one of the most consistent QBs last year and provides a solid, lower QB1 most weeks. Not a stud, but maybe the addition of Porter and TW will help him put up even better stats, and he's shown that he makes good decisions. Slight concern with the QB/RB combo, but aside from the bye week, I don't consider that a major issue. QB13 is about right for him, he might be able to improve on that, but I won't expect too much as long as he's consistent, I'm happy.

Scheffler was my target for TE from the start. I figured the 5th round was about right for him, even though he'd gone lower in other drafts, but when we hit the bottom of the 5th and Shockey was still around, I felt I could wait. Daniels might be his equal, but Scheffler has much more upside if you look at his late half stats, factor in Walker's leaving, and Marshall's injury - not to say that the injury is substantial, but Cutler might be looking to get another receiver majorly involved, and Scheffler has proven highly capable. As the TE11, his upside is top 5 - I'll gladly take that value.

7/8 turn edit:

7.14 - FUBAR - Patrick Crayton, DAL, WR40

8.03 - FUBAR - Jeff Garcia, TB, QB22

I'm not exactly about these two picks, but I think they're solid value. Crayton had some nice games last year, and if something happened to TO, Crayton would benefit greatly. He's not a guy I want to rely on each week, but he'll be the bigger part of WRBC for the 3rd slot. Behind Wayne and Holmes, I like the fit.

With Garcia, we were running out of QBs I feel comfortable with. There's a couple with good upside, but too much risk for me here. I'm hoping JAX/TB don't share a bye, and I remember JP's post awhile back about nearby teams not sharing a bye. I don't think he'll lose his starting job, but I wouldn't like Garcia in a dynasty league.

9/10 turn edit:

9.14 - FUBAR - Arnaz Battle, SF, WR56

10.03 - FUBAR - Felix Jones, ??, RB42

Figured it was a good idea to get backups at both RB/WR here, and I like these two to produce decent games this year.

Battle = Martz + WR...

Obviously drafting a rookie is a tough call, if he lands with a starting gig or even good portion of RBBC towards the end of the 1st round (Pittsburgh? Dallas?) or mid 2nd (Chicago?), he'll be a huge value. Worst likely scenario is he'll be drafted by a good team to backup a star, and he'll have value if the star gets injured. He might even hit Arizona, as Edge's replacement, and that could be ok here as well.

 

[Blue-Kun]

My team is quite balanced, which kind of felt strange to me considering last year I went heavier RB or WR, but through my first 4 rounds I have three players who I think have a decent shot at finishing in the top 5 at their position and Tony G. who may be the #1 TE again this year depending on how much Gates numbers get cut into.

Also thus far it seems like the picks have been really balanced on the whole with a good portion of every position getting taken. Maybe a little loose on the TE side, but that just always seems to happen after the top tier of guys is gone.

 

[Team Legacy]

WRs are king in this set up, I got two very good ones.

True? Twilight won last year with the following WRs - Boldin (WR20), Branch, Galloway (WR26), Rasheid Davis, Dwayne Jarrett, S McDonald, Steve Smith (NYG) and Ernest Wilford. Wannabee won last yaer with the following WRs - Steve Smith (WR15), Joey Galloway (WR26), S Moss, Hagan, Toomer, C Henry and S Rice. Granted I've watched over the years and WRs sure help, but I've seen QB and TE contribute in this format as much as WR. Thoughts?

Scoring can come from anywhere. The 2 ppr for the TEs is huge if you have good TEs. The biggest deal in my opinion with the WRs is that you definitely need good depth. Even really good WRs post some bag weeks (Chad Johnson) and you need depth that can keep you afloat when those inevitable single digit scores come. Not just a lot of WRs, but several WRs that score regularly.

I think TE and WR are the most important positions for scoring and you need a really good core of other guys to make up for deficiencies in either one. Usually you can get a few RB that slip, but the TE's usually just don't exist and WR"s are hard to predict after the studs and solid-but not quite #1 guys.

[FUBAR]

Update.

QB - David Garrard, Jeff Garcia

2 solid QBs. Garrard has no risk of losing his starting job and while he isn't elite, Jacksonville did add some talent on the receiving corps this year. Garcia is just a steady backup. Not the best duo, but solid enough.

RB - MJD, Edge, Felix Jones, Chris Henry

A little bit of risk here - MJD isn't quite the workhorse, Edge may lose a step, Felix hasn't even been drafted yet, and Henry is supposed to back up one of the worst starting RBs in the league. But I see potential.

WR - Reggie Wayne, Santonio Holmes, Patrick Crayton, Arnaz Battle, Antwaan Randle-El

One elite stud, one big play WR, and 3 guys who should put up a couple good games each. In most leagues, I wouldn't love this group, but in a 16 team survivor style, I'll gladly take it.

TE - Tony Scheffler

high hopes Tony should be among the elite TEs this year.

PK -



Def/ST - NY FOOTBALL Giants, Tennessee Titans

The defending champs have one of the best DLs in the league, I'll take the points in sacks.

Titans also have a stout D and while Jones will (probably) be gone, their special teams will be solid. Probably took the 2nd D too high, but now I doubt I'll have to worry about it - now watch, the Giants and Titans will share a week 4 bye.

 

[Road Warriors]

RW thru 12:

Tried something different, and I don't like how it played out.

QB: Jon Kitna, Kellen Clemens

Ugh... waited too long, all the value I wanted went between picks 4 & 5. 1st QB in rd 7 gets you a pair like this.

RB: Willis McGahee, Ryan Grant, Kevin Smith

Experiment part 1... RB RB to start. From the back end of the draft, this doesn't work for the rest of your roster. For the RBs, I like my top 2, and I like Smith as a rook to produce.

WR: Greg Jennings, Roddy White, Kevin Curtis, Deion Branch, Jabar GaffneyExperiment part 2... results of going RB/RB is no #1 WR. I felt weak at WR, and bypassed QBs to grab what I could. Branch could be a mistake ( likely ) or a steal ( less so ), but Gaffney could surprise in the NE offense. Decent enough, but no true #1 will hurt.

TE: Heath Miller

OK here, but missed out on a top 10 TE while grabbing WRs

K:

DT: NE

Finally a pick I liked. Got ahead of the run, and NE should continue to have a strong scoring fantasy D.

 

[Blue-Kun]

From the 9th pick.

QB: Brees, Shaun Hill

Brees has had two solid FF seasons since ending up in NO, finishing 2nd and 4th respectively in this format's scoring. Even though the WR depth isn't exactly mind-blowing after Colston, I expect him to continue to put up top-5 numbers. I was very happy to see him slip to the middle of the 4th round.

I've watched Alex Smith play wretchedly (save one game in Seattle which sticks out in my mind) for 3 years now and am ready to see him hit the bricks. I really think Shaun Hill has a chance to be the full-time starter; and in a Martz style offense that sounds very appealing in my QB#2. Worst-case I lean on Brees all season, but that seems a lot better than most other options.

RB: Lynch, Jacobs, Chester Taylor, Kenny Watson

Really think Lynch is a great option this year, last year there was a whole lot of things going wrong in Buffalo yet Lynch performed admirably. Now they've decided on a QB to roll out for the season who looked better than Losman and I figure that means Lynch can only go up with defenses not stacked against him. Jacobs, great when healthy and injured a lot otherwise. 5th rounder that puts up good PPG and is a known starter, seems fine! Taylor and Watson are both competent back-ups that have shown the ability to step in for an injured starter if need be and otherwise get some touches (especially in CT's case).

WR: Braylon Edwards, Bernard Berrian, Anthony Gonzalez, Roydell Williams, Amani Toomer

I'm banking on Edwards being a top-3 WR and yes that means I'm on the DA bandwagon. Berrian is a #1 WR, but honestly I'm just hoping for a replica of last year with slightly more receptions. A. Gonzalez and Roydell Williams were both later round picks with some upside attached if they continue to see the love of their QB's. In Roydell's case there will be issues if VY can't get the concept of 'pass the ball' over his instincts of 'run around and get hit' and Gonzalez if Harrison comes back and plays at even an average level. Toomer silently put up a top 40 season last year and if I can get the same this year, I'll be very happy with this 11th round pick.

TE: Tony G.

Top-3 TE for the last couple of years and even with an awful QB situation in 07 he still put up amazing numbers. I expect the same.

K:

DEF: Arizona, Cleveland

Arizona has a better fantasy defense then it shows in real NFL terms and Cleveland has Cribbs which is as good a reason as any to pick a D.

 

[FUBAR]

I escaped the byes rather nicely. How'd everyone else do?

No real complaints, week 7 might be tough with QB1, RB1, and RB2 out. Hopefully Felix doesn't get drafted by AZ, Atlanta, or Philly. (really can't see Jacksonville taking him)QB - David Garrard (7), Jeff Garcia (10), Rex Grossman (8)

While I don't particularly like any one of these QBs (Garrard is great, but not exciting), as a trio, I suspect they'll do very well. Rex will put up a couple nice games, Garrard should be consistent, and Garcia will catch lightning in a bottle on occasion.

GRADE: A- None of these are studs, but the G-force (spot?) make a formidable QBBC.

RB - MJD (7), Edge (7), Felix Jones (?), Chris Henry (6), MeMoore (6)

I like the MJD/Edge combo, given the value, bye week issues could be a problem here. Jones/Henry/Moore could be decent sleepers, I'm fairly certain I'll get some use out of them.

GRADE: B, I may have graded higher if not for the bye weeks. Could easily become an A if Felix hits a good location.

WR - Reggie Wayne (4), Santonio Holmes (6), Patrick Crayton (10), Arnaz Battle (9), Antwaan Randle-El (10), Jason Hill (9)

Love the top 2, I figure one of the 49er WRs will be startable most weeks, Crayton has potential and ARE will produce a couple very nice weeks, I think he'll do better than he did last year.

GRADE: A- Like I said, I love Wayne/Holmes, and the other 4 will fill in nicely.

TE - Tony Scheffler (8), Bo Scaife (6)

Tony! Toni! Tone! I'm a fan of Scheff. Bo is a late round flier because I waited too long at TE, but then, Alge isn't your picture of perfect health any more.

GRADE: B- I like Scheff, but there is risk. Bo is a backup

PK - David Akers (7), Jay Feely (4)

eh. Kickers. Who needs em?

GRADE: B meh

Def/ST - NYG (4), Tennessee Titans(6)

I may have somewhat overlooked the special teams, but I like these defenses. Tennessee is stout, and NYG gets the sacks. A decent duo even if I probably won't get any HUGE weeks.

GRADE: B

 

[Gamma1210]

QB: Philip Rivers, SD, 9; Matt Leinart, Ari, 7

RB: Larry Johnson, KC, 6; Darren McFadden, Rookie, ?; Jerious Norwood, ATL, 7; Chris Johnson, Rookie, ?

[Blue-Kun]

2.01 - el super gringo - Peyton Manning, IND, QB2 4

17.16 - el super gringo - Josh McCown, Mia, QB34 4

Peyton is obviously great and the fact that you got him at the end of the 1.16 turn is solid, especially considering Brady also went before. I don't know, it just seems odd that a QB whose finished 3rd, 1st, 3nd and 1st in the past 4 years just dropped to the early 2nd round, seems like a more reasonable idea to take Peyton early now as a result. McCown will compete for the starting job, but otherwise is totally unimpressive and will be lucky to outscore Peyton more than 2 weeks and the bye week is going to hurt.

It's got Peyton and a back-up QB, this is about as good as it gets.

A

1.16 - el super gringo - Fast Willie Parker, PIT, RB14 6

3.16 - el super gringo - Earnest Graham, TB, RB21 10

11.16 - el super gringo - Adrian Peterson, CHI, RB51 8

19.16 - el super gringo - Musa Smith, BAL(??), RB73

FWP should rebound from a truly pedestrian season and 2 rushing TD. That said, I'm not sure how much goal-line work he'll actually end up with total. Graham seemed solid enough after his first productive season in the NFL, although it just reminds me how everyone on Tampa Bay is ancient compared to every other team in the league. Is there any skills position player on the team that's younger than 28? AP is a fine back-up and 3rd RB since he'll be able to throw together decent games in a PPR scoring system and Benson is terrible. Musa Smith I have no idea, could be a wasted pick or might actually see work.

So right now that leaves us with two solid starters and a decent 3rd RB. That's still pretty minimal and I worry when the bye weeks begin to hit that there won't be a lot of points to go around.

B-

4.01 - el super gringo - Lee Evans, BUF, WR20 6

6.01 - el super gringo - Jerry Porter, JAX, WR31 7

8.01 - el super gringo - Dante Stallworth, Cle, WR42 5

9.16 - el super gringo - Devin Hester, Chi, WR57 8

14.01 - el super gringo - Robert Meachem, NO, WR78 9

18.01 - el super gringo - Earl Bennett, ROOK, WR87

20.01 - el super gringo - Ben Obomanu, SEA, WR102 4

When I first saw the team I was impressed at how balanced it was with an advantage at QB to boot! Unfortunately after I took a closer look I saw the WR core in all of it's horror. Lee Evans is your #1 WR. Let that sink in for a minute, since the guy is beyond fluky with his numbers week to week and he no-shows for 3-4 week periods. Jerry Porter will finally have a chance to show off the talent he has with a real QB, so I'm reasonably sure he'll be the main scorer for the WR squad. Stallworth I'm unsure of... KWII and Braylon Edwards amounted for 60% of the passing targets in the Browns offense last year and the rest were divvied up pretty evenly among the remaining players. I think he could do something, but I think he'll be lucky to land in the top 50 WR's by the end of the year.

Hester and Meachem don't exactly impress as WR, I haven't the slightest on Earl Bennett and Ben O. was a solid pick. I honestly think he has a decent chance of outscoring the 4 WR you took before him if he gets hold of a starting job in Seattle.

Unfortunately that says a lot about your overall depth. You don't really have a stud #1 and your depth fluctuates between players that would normally rate between #3-5 on a fantasy team.

D+

5.16 - el super gringo - Owen Daniels, HOU, TE10 8

7.16 - el super gringo - Donald Lee, GB, TE16 8

15.16 - el super gringo - Leonard Pope, Ari, TE27 7

Owen Daniels and Lee should give you solid scoring and Pope has a chance of doing something. I really like the main pairing though since both of them tended to have over half their games last season at 12 points or more. With any luck that spreads out to 12 or 13 solid weeks or TE production on the whole. Again though, another bye week issue.

B

10.01 - el super gringo - SanDiego Chargers, DST1 9

12.01 - el super gringo - Baltimore Ravens, DST4 10

Well at least you got that edge at defense!

A

13.16 - el super gringo - Stephen Gostkowski, NE, PK2

16.01 - el super gringo - Matt Stover, Bal, PK16

2 Kickers. Grats.

Overall: B-/C+

I think you did a good job from the end, but you have multiple bye weeks where you'll be cutting an entire position out of scoring (At least in week 4 you get to compete with Bass's bye week problems) and in week 6 you lose your 'top' RB and WR in a top-heavy sort of team. Between the inconsistent scoring at WR and these issues, I just don't think you'll be able to pull it out enough times to win.

 

[Team Legacy]

QB - Romo (10), Redman (7), B Johnson (10)

Well, I grabbed Romo early and have him as the #2QB in the league next year. Backing him up is what I feel to be the starting QB in Atlanta. 10 TDs and 5ints in the last 5 games, which included a total crapper on the road against a hot Bucs team. Throw that game out, 4 games, 10 tds, 3 ints, 1050 yards... WOW! B Johnson protects my Dallas QB.

GRADE - A

HB - DWill (9), T Jones (5), Rudi (8), Leon (5)

Well, I took alot of heat for the DWill pick. I wanted Romo in the 3rd, so I didn't want to risk losing my #1 rated RB at the time. For me, it was already decided Romo/Dwill or DWill/Romo. Now if I knew for sure that he would have slipped to 4.7, I obviously would have done things differently. T Jones at 4.7 is GREAT VALUE with that improved Jet ground game. Rudi at 6.7 - I had Berrian penciled in here and backed out when I couldn't pass up what I hear to be a healthy Rudi in the 6th. Before the injury, guy was a first round pick. He's aging, so we'll see if this works out. Leon in the 13th.. okay, I'll say it again.. value AND insurance. I think this group has good depth actually.

GRADE - B-

WR - Randy (4), HinesWard (6), VincentJackson (9), Patten (9), Hardy (?), DJack (8), Chatman (8)

I couldn't turn down Randy Moss this year. Even with a 20% dip in production, still puts him #1 right? Unbelievable! Ward as the WR28 was WR28 last year and missed 3 games, so I think that's a decent spot for him. Considered VDavis here, but banked on Scheffler making it back. VJax was beastly last year, not a great WR3, but if they pick up where they left off, he'll outperform WR44. 18 rec 300 and 2 TDs in the final 3 games definitely stood out for me. Patten came up huge last year and on the Saints offense, I'll take a veteran. Hardy, DJack (thrilled about how late I scored him) and Chatman all have upside, but I'm not sure what else.

GRADE - B

TE - Crumpler (6), Z Miller (5)

Crossin fingers that Vince takes to Crumpler the way Vick did. Like what I saw from Miller last year. In the end, I considred a 3rd tight end over Romo's backup, but with what was left, I decided to ride with these two guys. Decent, but not good.

GRADE - C-

PK - Gramatica (9), Prater (8)

Saints offense and Denver's offense.

GRADE - B-

Dst - Vikes (8) Jets (5)

Love the Vikes this year. Jets added some playmakers as well.

GRADE - A-

OVERALL - B -- Decent squad with good bye week results. There were a couple times I turned down a player from a team I already had which is a MUST in this format before bye weeks are released.

OVERALL - B -- Decent squad with good bye week results. There were a couple times I turned down a player from a team I already had which is a MUST in this format before bye weeks are released.

I certainly see your strategy there, but I disagree. When players are of equal value remaining, I would avoid sharing a team, but when my 5.14 came up, I was faced with a short list ofavid Garrard, JAX

Jeremy Shockey, NYG

Philip Rivers, SD

Tony Scheffler, DEN

Fred Taylor, JAX

Jake Delhomme, Car

Vince Young, TEN

there's a decent drop off in my expectations of the QBs after Garrard. Rivers is a decent young QB, but I don't see him as a good QB1, I love VY's highlights, but don't like his inconsistency, Delhomme I just don't trust. I wanted either Shockey or Scheffler, and I may have taken Taylor to pair with MJD, but had Edge and needed a QB and that move would have been very risky. (Plus, Garrard had been a target of sorts before the draft started, so I almost passed on MJD for LJ or Parker, but I figured MJD was the better pick in PPR.)

So I ended up taking the #1 guy on my board, who happens to play QB for my RB1's team. This ended up being a factor late, as I figured I needed a 3rd starting QB and Rex was good value. But to say you MUST avoid the same team, I just can't agree.

 

[FUBAR]

Just curious now, I'll chime in later; do all of you just look at the #1 QB and not consider the backup? I decided early to use a QBBC with upside, partly because I took Romo in W4 and it ended up kind of hurting me, while a good QBBC could outscore most QBs anyway.

I haven't done 16 team survivors, so I'll find out how this plays, but in smaller league survivors, I'd go for a strong QB1, usually in the 6-9 range, and look to see if a QB 12-15 would fall, giving a pretty strong QBBC. Those ranges won't work in this size league, obviously. My other early SLs had Palmer/Campbell and Brees/Clemens as tandems, so I do favor strong QB1, mid tier QB2 combos.This draft I ended up with a more true QBBC, mostly due to the way the draft came to me, with QB tiers ending before early picks, and TE tiers ending later.

 

[Team Legacy]

Romo and Brady carried teams to late runs in this format last year. Elite QBs are great. If you can hit a consistent QBBC, you're gold there too, too often though, you get half of it wrong (Eli in recent years, Alex Smith, Leftwich, Delhomme etc.)

Well, we just disagree then. You could have comitted SUICIDE with 2 of your top 5 on the same team. This format is about consistency. With one bad break in the bye week layout, you could have easily had 3 or 4 of your TOP 5 OFF in the same week! Dunzo (if that had happened). You caught a break, but with an injury, you're still down to 2 of your top 5. It's a risk, that if you're willing to take go ahead, but not me. I'll take the chance with the lessor rated player 9 times out of 10 when I don't know bye weeks. Edited to add: Although I was only 1 of 2 players to be in all "1" leagues last year, I have yet to win one of these, so what do I know?

 

[Road Warriors]

QB: Jon Kitna(4), Kellen Clemens(5), Chad Penningon(5)

2 starters on teams with decent weapons. Not thrilled with the pair, but it could be worse. Middle of the pack, IMO.

C+

RB: Willis McGahee(10), Ryan Grant(8), Kevin Smith(?), Kevin Faulk(4)

Experiment part 1... RB RB to start. From the back end of the draft, this doesn't work for the rest of your roster. For the RBs, I like my top 2, and I like Smith as a rook to produce.

Top 2 are solid, if unspectacular. Faulk will not have explosive weeks, but at that portion of the draft, he is likely to produce decent numbers pretty consistently in that offense. If Smith can land in a good spot, this group could move up to pretty good.

B-

WR: Greg Jennings(8), Roddy White(7), Kevin Curtis(7), Deion Branch(4), Jabar Gaffney(4), Bobby Wade(8)_, Antonio Bryant(10)Experiment part 2... results of going RB/RB is no #1 WR. I felt weak at WR, and bypassed QBs to grab what I could. Branch could be a mistake ( likely ) or a steal ( less so ), but Gaffney could surprise in the NE offense. Decent enough, but no true #1 will hurt.

Jennings/White/Curtis looks like a strong collection of WR2s. The problem with WR2s is they are less consistent. Rounding out the group is Branch (inj), Gaffney(role in NE? enough balls to go around? ), Wade and Bryant?!?. Not sure what to make of Antonio Bryant, but taking a round 20 flier on his talent is low risk with lots of upside if things break right in TB.

In all, this squad looks to be dependant on very consistent output from the top 3, with Gaffney contributing pretty regularly. Either that or something like Wade or Bryant really coming on big.

C-

TE: Heath Miller(6), Chris Baker(5)

OK here, but missed out on a top 10 TE while grabbing WRs

Miller should be OK, but he's not a high reception guy, more of a RZ threat. Baker is a good enough backup, but I'd prefer a stronger TE1.

B-

K: Nick Folk(10), Rian Lindell(6)

2 starters and one projecting be a top producer. Might be my only advantage position.

A

DT: NE(4), CIN(8)

Finally a pick I liked. Got ahead of the run, and NE should continue to have a strong scoring fantasy D.

Not thrilled with CIN as the backup here, but I spent my later picks shoring up other holes I'd created. This was what was left. Overall, DT will be solid, and not the downfall of this team.

B

Overall: C+ Pretty average team with no huge holes, but no real strengths either. This team should produce consistent, but unspectacular results, and hang around for a while. Week 7 bye might be the downfall, losing 2 of my 3 top WR.

Dst - Vikes (8) Jets (5)

Love the Vikes this year. Jets added some playmakers as well.

GRADE - A-

OVERALL - B -- Decent squad with good bye week results. There were a couple times I turned down a player from a team I already had which is a MUST in this format before bye weeks are released.

Like your QBs and think Redman is under rated this year. Guess we'll find out on Saturday. Agree with your A.DWill was a huge whiff. I like your other RB picks. I see three RB2s here C at best.

I think you were conservative in grading your WRs and were a grade too low on your TEs.

Overall you did well despite reaching 2 rounds for DWill.

I think I like FUBAR's team the best, but none of then really stand out as a favorite to me.

OVERALL - B -- Decent squad with good bye week results. There were a couple times I turned down a player from a team I already had which is a MUST in this format before bye weeks are released.

I certainly see your strategy there, but I disagree. When players are of equal value remaining, I would avoid sharing a team, but when my 5.14 came up, I was faced with a short list ofavid Garrard, JAX

Jeremy Shockey, NYG

Philip Rivers, SD

Tony Scheffler, DEN

Fred Taylor, JAX

Jake Delhomme, Car

Vince Young, TEN

there's a decent drop off in my expectations of the QBs after Garrard. Rivers is a decent young QB, but I don't see him as a good QB1, I love VY's highlights, but don't like his inconsistency, Delhomme I just don't trust. I wanted either Shockey or Scheffler, and I may have taken Taylor to pair with MJD, but had Edge and needed a QB and that move would have been very risky. (Plus, Garrard had been a target of sorts before the draft started, so I almost passed on MJD for LJ or Parker, but I figured MJD was the better pick in PPR.)

So I ended up taking the #1 guy on my board, who happens to play QB for my RB1's team. This ended up being a factor late, as I figured I needed a 3rd starting QB and Rex was good value. But to say you MUST avoid the same team, I just can't agree.

Well, we just disagree then. You could have comitted SUICIDE with 2 of your top 5 on the same team. This format is about consistency. With one bad break in the bye week layout, you could have easily had 3 or 4 of your TOP 5 OFF in the same week! Dunzo (if that had happened). You caught a break, but with an injury, you're still down to 2 of your top 5. It's a risk, that if you're willing to take go ahead, but not me. I'll take the chance with the lessor rated player 9 times out of 10 when I don't know bye weeks. Edited to add: Although I was only 1 of 2 players to be in all "1" leagues last year, I have yet to win one of these, so what do I know?

I can certainly see your perspective, week 7 scares me right now - Garrard, MJD, Edge, and Akers are out. But I would have been more scared if VY or Delhomme were my QB1.

 

[FUBAR]

I think I like FUBAR's team the best, but none of then really stand out as a favorite to me.

 

[FUBAR]

QB - Romo (10), Redman (7), B Johnson (10)

Well, I grabbed Romo early and have him as the #2QB in the league next year. Backing him up is what I feel to be the starting QB in Atlanta. 10 TDs and 5ints in the last 5 games, which included a total crapper on the road against a hot Bucs team. Throw that game out, 4 games, 10 tds, 3 ints, 1050 yards... WOW! B Johnson protects my Dallas QB.

GRADE - A

HB - DWill (9), T Jones (5), Rudi (8), Leon (5)

Well, I took alot of heat for the DWill pick. I wanted Romo in the 3rd, so I didn't want to risk losing my #1 rated RB at the time. For me, it was already decided Romo/Dwill or DWill/Romo. Now if I knew for sure that he would have slipped to 4.7, I obviously would have done things differently. T Jones at 4.7 is GREAT VALUE with that improved Jet ground game. Rudi at 6.7 - I had Berrian penciled in here and backed out when I couldn't pass up what I hear to be a healthy Rudi in the 6th. Before the injury, guy was a first round pick. He's aging, so we'll see if this works out. Leon in the 13th.. okay, I'll say it again.. value AND insurance. I think this group has good depth actually.

GRADE - B-

WR - Randy (4), HinesWard (6), VincentJackson (9), Patten (9), Hardy (?), DJack (8), Chatman (8)

I couldn't turn down Randy Moss this year. Even with a 20% dip in production, still puts him #1 right? Unbelievable! Ward as the WR28 was WR28 last year and missed 3 games, so I think that's a decent spot for him. Considered VDavis here, but banked on Scheffler making it back. VJax was beastly last year, not a great WR3, but if they pick up where they left off, he'll outperform WR44. 18 rec 300 and 2 TDs in the final 3 games definitely stood out for me. Patten came up huge last year and on the Saints offense, I'll take a veteran. Hardy, DJack (thrilled about how late I scored him) and Chatman all have upside, but I'm not sure what else.

GRADE - B

TE - Crumpler (6), Z Miller (5)

Crossin fingers that Vince takes to Crumpler the way Vick did. Like what I saw from Miller last year. In the end, I considred a 3rd tight end over Romo's backup, but with what was left, I decided to ride with these two guys. Decent, but not good.

GRADE - C-

PK - Gramatica (9), Prater (8)

Saints offense and Denver's offense.

GRADE - B-

Dst - Vikes (8) Jets (5)

Love the Vikes this year. Jets added some playmakers as well.

I think you were conservative in grading your WRs and were a grade too low on your TEs.

Overall you did well despite reaching 2 rounds for DWill.

Love the QBs and WRs, hate the RBs (ok, hate's a strong word, but I don' t like em), and I actually like your TEs - Miller maybe more so than Alge. You benefited BIG time with the Allen trade, the Ds are an A. You did very well with the bye weeks

 

[FUBAR]

QB: Jon Kitna(4), Kellen Clemens(5), Chad Penningon(5)

2 starters on teams with decent weapons. Not thrilled with the pair, but it could be worse. Middle of the pack, IMO.

C+

RB: Willis McGahee(10), Ryan Grant(8), Kevin Smith(?), Kevin Faulk(4)

Experiment part 1... RB RB to start. From the back end of the draft, this doesn't work for the rest of your roster. For the RBs, I like my top 2, and I like Smith as a rook to produce.

Top 2 are solid, if unspectacular. Faulk will not have explosive weeks, but at that portion of the draft, he is likely to produce decent numbers pretty consistently in that offense. If Smith can land in a good spot, this group could move up to pretty good.

B-

WR: Greg Jennings(8), Roddy White(7), Kevin Curtis(7), Deion Branch(4), Jabar Gaffney(4), Bobby Wade(8)_, Antonio Bryant(10)Experiment part 2... results of going RB/RB is no #1 WR. I felt weak at WR, and bypassed QBs to grab what I could. Branch could be a mistake ( likely ) or a steal ( less so ), but Gaffney could surprise in the NE offense. Decent enough, but no true #1 will hurt.

Jennings/White/Curtis looks like a strong collection of WR2s. The problem with WR2s is they are less consistent. Rounding out the group is Branch (inj), Gaffney(role in NE? enough balls to go around? ), Wade and Bryant?!?. Not sure what to make of Antonio Bryant, but taking a round 20 flier on his talent is low risk with lots of upside if things break right in TB.

In all, this squad looks to be dependant on very consistent output from the top 3, with Gaffney contributing pretty regularly. Either that or something like Wade or Bryant really coming on big.

C-

TE: Heath Miller(6), Chris Baker(5)

OK here, but missed out on a top 10 TE while grabbing WRs

Miller should be OK, but he's not a high reception guy, more of a RZ threat. Baker is a good enough backup, but I'd prefer a stronger TE1.

B-

K: Nick Folk(10), Rian Lindell(6)

2 starters and one projecting be a top producer. Might be my only advantage position.

A

DT: NE(4), CIN(8)

Finally a pick I liked. Got ahead of the run, and NE should continue to have a strong scoring fantasy D.

Not thrilled with CIN as the backup here, but I spent my later picks shoring up other holes I'd created. This was what was left. Overall, DT will be solid, and not the downfall of this team.

B

Overall: C+ Pretty average team with no huge holes, but no real strengths either. This team should produce consistent, but unspectacular results, and hang around for a while. Week 7 bye might be the downfall, losing 2 of my 3 top WR.

Your QBs could be horrible, or could be decent. Hard to tell.I would give your RBs a A-, top heavy and like you said, if Smith lands in a good spot, you'll have depth. If he doesn't, while I like Faulk enough, this could be tough if you face an injury.

Your WRs are... interesting, I would have preferred the group if you had been able to land one guy in a solid situation who had proven himself as a consistent performer, but you have "Major Upside" :salute:

Both of your TEs are solid, but unspectacular.

K/D are among the best, but I'm not entirely sure if that's a big advantage.

Overall, your team has potential to be good, or crap out early. Reminds me of Rob Deer - good power, he could hit one out at any time, but with a .220 career batting average.

Overall I like the team - shocking I know.By position:



QB:

4.14 - Jeff Pasquino - Matt Hasselbeck, SEA, QB8 BYE - 4

9.03 - Jeff Pasquino - Alex Smith, SF, QB27 BYE - 9

Hasselbeck is a Top 7 QB, and given that I don't like the QBs 9-16 much for a QB1, this was mandatory here. I wouldn't want to go beyond the Top 7 or 8 on my list for my starter. I pay the price of a 4th rounder, but that lets QB2 slip down further to compensate. Hass will carry this group. Alex Smith - I'd like him much more if I had Shaun Hill too, but I think the QB for SF will put up pretty good numbers.

GRADE: B (C+ if Hill starts).

RB:

1.03 - Jeff Pasquino - Adrian Peterson, MIN, RB3 BYE - 8

7.03 - Jeff Pasquino - Travis Henry, DEN, RB34 BYE - 8

16.14 - Jeff Pasquino - Lorenzo Booker, MIA, RB62 BYE - 4

18.14 - Jeff Pasquino - Warrick Dunn, TB, RB67 BYE - 10

This is probably the weakest link. ADP is $ when he puts up a good game, but I don't know if that'll happen every week. Looking back I might have been better served with SJax, but time will tell.Was going to go with veteran value / committee for the rest, and while I didn't get A. Green I got Henry and Dunn, which should both give me some value. PThomas should steal work from Deuce. LBooker is a PPR hog if he gets enough work.

Could this group be better? Absolutely. But, I know that QB and WR are more value overall in this format.

GRADE: C

WR:

2.14 - Jeff Pasquino - Marques Colston, NO, WR8 BYE - 9

19.03 - Jeff Pasquino - Mike Furrey, DET, WR94 BYE - 4

20.14 - Jeff Pasquino - Terry Glenn, Dal, WR108 BYE - 10

I love to get as many good WRs as I can, but I think I let WR6 and WR7 go a little too far. Colston/Holt/Engram are a good starting 3 IMHO. Engram is going to be the #1 guy again in Seattle this year as I don't believe Branch will come back and/or contribute much of anything.James Jones and Hackett are good WR4/5 options as they can hit the TD homerun to get on the scoreboard.

Furrey is decent value late, but I think Detroit really falls back in passing offense without Martz.

Terry Glenn - if healthy - is a good starting WR in the NFL and can put up big numbers. The risk/reward is worth it for a last pick. Almost went Sam Hurd, but Glenn's too valuable if healthy to pass up and Hurd can't get it done even with chances.

This group could be better, but it is OK enough to be decent to hold my head up. Normally I'd want more strength and depth, but going TE and QB a bit earlier than usual cost me a little value up front.



GRADE: B/B-

TE:

5.03 - Jeff Pasquino - Todd Heap, BAL, TE7 BYE - 10

11.03 - Jeff Pasquino - Jeff King, Car, TE22 BYE - 9

Some are concerned about Heap - why? Only the injury bug is a concern. Both he and Shockey are undervalued because of that, and there's nearly no backup to Heap in Baltimore. Kyle Boller is already talking about getting the ball to Todd more in OTAs. King's the only viable receiving TE in Carolina and he and Jake Delhomme connected 15 times in the first 3 weeks last year. GRADE: B+/ A- Due to later byes and possible injuries - but if healthy this is an "A".



PK:

14.14 - Jeff Pasquino - Rob Bironas, TEN, PK8 BYE - 6

17.03 - Jeff Pasquino -Ryan Longwell, Min, PK23 BYE - 8

Two solid kickers and both coaches let them try plenty of kicks. Longwell is in a dome and MIN should score more this year. No bye week problems.GRADE: A

OVERALL Grades:

TE: B+ to A

PK: A

Bottom line is that Hasselbeck, Heap, ADP and the WRs will carry this group forward. If I get some bonus from the RBs, great. If not, the WRs must get TDs.This team is viable to last a while, and if it gets through Week 10 (and if Glenn plays) it could be a Final 4 team.

OVERALL GRADE : B+

 

[BassNBrew]

Normally I'd analyze my team but I don't want to think about it how ugly this is going to be. Bye weeks killed me and threw the strategy for the last 1/3 of the draft into the ####ter.

Would love to hear some thoughts on Boller this year. Also considered Beck who surprisingly went undrafted. Thought a backup TE was more of a priority than a 50% shot at a one week QB.

I'll try to analyze my team in the next few days, but I was suprised that Caddy went undrafted. If I didn't pick Warner to sure up the ARI passing game I was going to take Caddy in the 20th. Huge reward for only a 20th round risk.

5.03 - Jeff Pasquino - Todd Heap, BAL, TE7 BYE - 10

11.03 - Jeff Pasquino - Jeff King, Car, TE22 BYE - 9

Some are concerned about Heap - why? Only the injury bug is a concern. Both he and Shockey are undervalued because of that, and there's nearly no backup to Heap in Baltimore. Kyle Boller is already talking about getting the ball to Todd more in OTAs. King's the only viable receiving TE in Carolina and he and Jake Delhomme connected 15 times in the first 3 weeks last year. GRADE: B+/ A- Due to later byes and possible injuries - but if healthy this is an "A".



PK:

14.14 - Jeff Pasquino - Rob Bironas, TEN, PK8 BYE - 6

17.03 - Jeff Pasquino -Ryan Longwell, Min, PK23 BYE - 8

Two solid kickers and both coaches let them try plenty of kicks. Longwell is in a dome and MIN should score more this year. No bye week problems.GRADE: A

DEF:

12.14 - Jeff Pasquino - Indianapolis Colts, DST11 BYE - 4

15.03 - Jeff Pasquino - Houston Texans, DST23 BYE - 8

Two solid defenses and they get plenty of both sacks and turnovers. No bye week problems. GRADE: A

OVERALL Grades:

QB: B

RB: C

WR: B/B-

TE: B+ to A

PK: A

D: A

Bottom line is that Hasselbeck, Heap, ADP and the WRs will carry this group forward. If I get some bonus from the RBs, great. If not, the WRs must get TDs.This team is viable to last a while, and if it gets through Week 10 (and if Glenn plays) it could be a Final 4 team.

OVERALL GRADE : B+

6.02 - Gamma1210 - Philip Rivers, SD, QB14

8.02 - Gamma1210 - Matt Leinart, Ari, QB21

17.15 - Gamma1210 - Kurt Warner, AZ, QB33

Philly Rivers is coming off ACL injuries which worries me, the same with the #1 target in SD right now which makes him awkward to judge until we hear more about the recovery. On

the other hand, there's Chris Chambers which has shown to be a viable #1 WR in the San Diego offense. Leinart is another unimpressive Arizona QB and it seems like there's a decent chance

Kurt Warner starts over him at some point during the season unless he shows some serious progression. Of course, you have both, so the risk is heavily offset and with Fitz and Boldin as

the targets, obviously there will be a decent amount of points coming from the AZ passing game.

B-

1.15 - Gamma1210 - Larry Johnson, KC, RB13

4.02 - Gamma1210 - Darren McFadden, Rookie, RB22

9.15 - Gamma1210 - Jerious Norwood, ATL, RB41

13.15 - Gamma1210 - Chris Johnson, Rookie, RB58

I think LJ is in a piss-poor situation, but I can see why you basically have to take him at 1.15. If he can produce near the level he was in the 3 games before he was hurt, he can put up some very good numbers this year. But with no QB and few real WR threats to deal with, I worry the box will be stacked every play and with the O-line deteriorating this pick comes with a lot of risk. McFadden probably has the best chance of starting out of the gate, regardless of what team he goes too, but if he lands with the Jets I like this pick a lot considering the effort they put into trying to buff the O-line. Still a lot depends on where he lands and the load he gets. If he ends up like Lynch or AP last year, you got a huge edge. Norwood is a decent 3rd option, but his inability to surpass Dunn on his own worries me.

Don't know enough about Chris Johnson to make an accurate call really, from what I read he doesn't seem like a bad late-rounder.

B, depending on where McFadden lands

2.02 - Gamma1210 - Terrell Owens, DAL, WR2

3.15 - Gamma1210 - Donald Driver, GB, WR19

7.15 - Gamma1210 - Nate Burleson, Sea, WR41

10.02 - Gamma1210 - Devin Thomas, ROOK, WR58

11.15 - Gamma1210 - Laurent Robinson, Atl, WR70

19.15 - Gamma1210 - Joe Jurevicius, CLE, WR101

20.02 - Gamma1210 - Early Doucet, Rookie, WR103

TO and Driver are a good 1-2 punch for the WR section and Burleson as a #3 is solid considering the state of SEA wr core.

Unfortunately things take a turn for the worse with two rookies and Joe J. compromising almost half the depth on the team. Awkward. Although I do like

Laurent Robinson who could be a major sleeper depending on how training camp goes and how the QB situation shakes out in ATL.

C+ I think had you taken a more reliable WR at 10.02, this would easily be a B. But we all know the majority of rookie wideouts barely contribute their first year.

5.15 - Gamma1210 - Jeremy Shockey, NYG, TE9

16.02 - Gamma1210 - Alex Smith, TB, TE28

Shockey may be underrated this year, although he is a loudmouth who gets dinged up. If he goes back to his usual 220ish in this format, you probably got some value. Alex Smith... meh. He's good for like 3 weeks.

B

12.02 - Gamma1210 - Pittsburgh Steelers, DST5

15.15 - Gamma1210 - Miami Dolphins, DST25

Two defenses, seems fine although both hit a steep decline last year FF-wise.

B

14.02 - Gamma1210 - Adam Vinatieri, INDY, PK3

18.02 - Gamma1210 - Joe Nedney, SF, PK27

Two kickers. GRATS.

Overall B-

All and all it strikes me as a slightly above average team across the board which can succeed if nothing happens to the big 2 WR and Larry Johnson doesn't get ripped up on a weak KC team.

Honestly I think you're hard on this team.Looking it over, I like most everything but RBs and TE2. If LJ returns to form, this is a tough lineup.

Not a big fan of rookie WRs though - they run out of steam in December, just when you really need a boost.

 

[Blue-Kun]

8.03 - FUBAR - Jeff Garcia, TB, QB22

5.14 - FUBAR - David Garrard, JAX, QB13

15.14 - FUBAR - Rex Grossman, Chi, QB31

Garrard put up respectable numbers last season despite only playing 12 games and with a terrible WR core. Getting him where you did strikes me as a great boon with the upgrades they made to the passing game.

Garcia is a solid secondary QB, not flashy, but will likely put up another top 20 season unless Galloway loses his legs. Grossman is terrible, I should know as I drafted him last year in a few leagues, but he'll put up a few weeks that'll make you very happy you spent a 15th round pick on him.

B+

1.14 - FUBAR - Maurice Jones-Drew, JAX, RB12

4.03 - FUBAR - Edgerrin James, AZ, RB23

10.03 - FUBAR - Felix Jones, ROOK, RB42

11.14 - FUBAR - Chris Henry, Ten, RB50

17.14 - FUBAR - Mewelde Moore, PIT, RB66

MJD is a beast, enough said there. Edge finished right behind him last year, but you got him 2 1/2 rounds later. Pretty solid. His base numbers seem to be just over 200 FF points in Arizona, so if the tend continues you'll have what amounts to a top 15-20 guy in round 4.

Felix Jones has amazing talent and could provide some really explosive weeks if he gets a shot at 15 or more carries a game. Chris Henry and Moore both have the chance to contribute depending on what the coaching staff wants to do.

A- Normally I'd only reserve the A ranks for the teams with a for-sure stud #1 and a solid 2nd back. Well I think MJD has a great base and plenty of upside, Edge is a solid 2nd back and all three of your remaining backs have a real chance to contribute to your team. So hell with it, good job.

2.03 - FUBAR - Reggie Wayne, IND, WR3

3.14 - FUBAR - Santonio Holmes, PIT, WR18

7.14 - FUBAR - Patrick Crayton, DAL, WR40

13.14 - FUBAR - Antwaan Randle El, WASH, WR76

9.14 - FUBAR - Arnaz Battle, SF, WR56

19.14 - FUBAR - Jason Hill, SF, WR100

Normally I'd expect the WR core to take a hit, but you offset a huge amount of potential damage with Reggie Wayne and Holmes. To me, either of these could be my #1 I think Holmes takes the leap to top-10 WR this year and even if I'm wrong if he plays 16 games he'll still produce like a WR2.

There's no clear #3; but Battle, ARE or Crayton should fill that 3rd slot or offset byes. Jason Hill I don't think will do much, but then again this is a Martz offense now so he could be the next McDonald or Furrey.

B/B+, Only 6 WR scares me a bit depth-wise, especially when the byes hit, but the core is solid.

6.03 - FUBAR - Tony Scheffler, DEN, TE11

18.03 - FUBAR - Bo Scaife, Ten, TE30

Scheffler put up great fantasy numbers for putting up 0 for the first four weeks of the season. He has a shot at finishing in the top 5 this year. Bo Scaife was someone I was targeting late and should put up some serviceable numbers as a starting TE. With luck they'll cover each other as well as having one stud TE would. At worst you have the equivalent of a T10 TE from this pairing.

B+

12.03 - FUBAR - New York Giants, DST6

14.03 - FUBAR - Tennessee Titans, DST17

Two defenses, one of which lead the leagues in sacks and the other tied for 2nd in INT.

A-

20.03 - FUBAR - Jay Feely, MIA, PK30

16.03 - FUBAR - David Akers, Phi, PK17

Two kickers. TWO. Wow.

Overall: A-

You have one of the best teams in the league and one of the only ones I expect go give an A. The only derailments I see in the future is the possibility of just getting screwed by byes. Week 7 is make or break as you lose both your RB's and the top QB. If you can win immunity week 6, great, if not... problems. The WR core also has some danger of 0's each week if any major injury occurs. But yeah, you are one of the front-runners.

Thanks for the (overly?) kind write-up. I took a couple hits yesterday at RB. Mendenhall's presence makes anyone after Parker, and maybe even him, worth quite a bit less. Moore might contribute, but I'm almost writing him off. Henry took a hit as well with CJ, but we'll have to see how he's used. Felix went exactly where many of us thought he would, and I think he'll contribute well as a rookie, even with Barber ahead of him.

Not slated to be, but I don't expect much from Alge. Even if Alge stays on the field, Scaife will contribute.

Agreed. If White and Curtis can perform like 2007, and Kitna/Jets QBs turn out to be viable starters, he's got a very nice team. those QBs just don't scare anyone - except their owners.

7.13 - Road Warriors - Jon Kitna, DET, QB20

8.04 - Road Warriors - Kellen Clemens, NYJ, QB23

The QB's here are all risky, as FUBAR correctly pointed out:

Kitna/Jets QBs turn out to be viable starters, he's got a very nice team. those QBs just don't scare anyone - except their owners.

I have little faith in the Jets QB's, since their scores combined ended up somewhere in the 15-17 range last year for QB scoring. Bleak is the word best used to describe them. On the plus side, it looks like this year they'll have a little bit more time to throw and the weapons are still there to get some points. Kitna just worries me with his age and the loss of martz.C

1.13 - Road Warriors - Willis McGahee, BAL, RB11

2.04 - Road Warriors - Ryan Grant, GB, RB15

12.04 - Road Warriors - Kevin Smith, Rookie, RB52

13.13 - Road Warriors - Kevin Faulk, NE, RB57

The draft was kind to you with Kevin Smith going to Detroit. He'll likely end up the starter or at least carry a decent amount of the load there, along with Ryan Grant and Willis McGahee that's a very solid RB core to pick up despite having such a late pick in the 1st. If Ryan Grant improves at all this will likely be one of the best RB cores.

A 3 starters and a back who will always give you a couple of points just in-case.

3.13 - Road Warriors - Greg Jennings, GB, WR17

4.04 - Road Warriors - Roddy White, ATL, WR21

5.13 - Road Warriors - Kevin Curtis, PHI, WR30

9.13 - Road Warriors - Deion "the PUP list" Branch, SEA, WR55

10.04 - Road Warriors - Jabar Gaffney, NE, WR59

17.13 - Road Warriors - Bobby Wade, MIN, WR86

20.04 - Road Warriors - Antonio Bryant, TB, WR104

High on White this year after last year's breakout season and Jennings isn't chop-livered either, they should provide a good one-two punch as long as their respective QB's can get them the ball. Kevin Curtis put up a really quiet top 20 season last year and in survivor you won't get punished as much when he hits his less than 10pt games. Deion Branch has a good chance of being a wasted pick or at least a very meh WR this year. Gaffney and Wade both fill out a bit of the depth and Bryant may be able to do something in TB.

B, 3 pretty good WR and a little depth, although when the byes hit, things might get a bit tight here.

6.04 - Road Warriors - Heath Miler, PIT, TE12

15.13 - Road Warriors - Chris Baker, NYJ, TE26

Heath Miller's value seems to come down to how many TD's he can get. Many of his games without catching one were unimpressive FF-wise even with the 2PPR, so to me he comes off as a bit of a streaky and awkward TE choice. The draft also gave the Steelers another RB and a tall 3rd option, which could mean Miller will spend more time blocking and helping the offensive line out than catching. Chris Baker wasn't great to begin with, but serviceable, however losing any time at all to Dustin Keller is a blow to this TE duo.

C/C-

11.13 - Road Warriors - New England Patriots, DST3

16.04 - Road Warriors - Cincinnati Bengals, DST26

One of the top D's paired with warm bodies, although this is another case of a team being a lot worse in real NFL terms than fantasy. Despite a seemingly horrid defense, they've finished 18th and 15th the last 2 years.

B+

14.04 - Road Warriors - Nick Folk, DAL, PK4

18.04 - Road Warriors - Rian Lindell, Buf, PK28

Two kickers. Woo.

Overall: B

A strong running back and WR core, but with some question marks at QB and with likely only one effective TE scorer, there are some issues. Good team though and if the QB's come through, a real chance to go deep here.

 

[Domination]

4.06 - Domination - Carson Palmer, CIN, QB4

8.06 - Domination - JaMarcus Russell, OAK, QB24

I like this combo as I think I will get good production from Palmer, and I expect a couple good weeks from Russell.

Grade-A

1.11 - Domination - Reggie Bush, NO, RB10

2.06 - Domination - Laurence Maroney, NE, RB17

9.11 - Domination - Michael Bush, OAK, RB40

17.11 - Domination - Jamaal Charles, Rookie, RB65

19.11 - Domination - Kenton Keith, INDY, RB72

I tried a different strategy and went RB,RB. 2 solid RBs at top, but basically don't feel like I have much after that.

Grade-C

3.11 - Domination - Roy Williams, DET, WR15

5.11 - Domination - Laveranues Coles, NYJ, WR29

6.06 - Domination - Santana Moss, WASH, WR31

10.06 - Domination - Ernest Wilford, Mia, WR60

13.11 - Domination - Limas Sweed, Rookie, WR75

20.06 - Domination - Steve Breaston, AZ, WR105

I like this group alot, and think I should be able to get good production out of them every week.

Grade-B

7.11 - Domination - Greg Olsen, CHI, TE14

11.11 - Domination - Ben Utecht, Cin, TE23

18.06 - Domination - David Martin, Mia, TE31

Having to go 3 TEs is just sad, but bye weeks forced my hand. That being said, I expect Top 10 production out of Olsen, and think that with no real #3 in Cincy, that Utecht could really step up.

Grade-B

14.06 - Domination - Josh Brown, STL, PK5

15.11 - Domination - Josh Scobee, JAX, PK15

12.06 - Domination - Dallas Cowboys, DST7

16.06 - Domination - San Francisco 49ers, DST27

Two solid Kickers and Defenses, which I expect solid production from.

Grade-B

Overall- I believe that I am going to need things to fall right for this team to go anywhere. (a.k.a. Bush and Maroney staying healthy.) Realistically, I think that I have enough strength in other areas to cover for lack of RB depth to cover bye weeks, but not to with stand an injury.

 

[Blue-Kun]

10.05 - OldMilwaukee - Shaun Alexander, Sea, RB43

15.12 - OldMilwaukee - Ricky Williams, MIA, RB61

20.05 - OldMilwaukee - Andre Hall, DEN, RB75

Eesh. Ronnie Brown is coming off an ACL injury and depending on how recovered he is, may or may not be sharing with Ricky. Speaking of which, is Ricky even going to be capable of playing? Last year he got hurt like one play in. I like Fred Taylor since it seems like he still has something left in the tank and showed it last year. Shaun Alexander was cut, so who knows where he ends up, in what role or if he'll even be effective again. Andre Hall seems like a crapshoot that he'll see any serious action at all.

By that count we have an recovering starter, an ancient starter (though likely decent), a warn out starter without a team, Ricky and a Denver running back.

C-, Probably a bit harsh, but I honestly want to see if Brown will be ready for training camp or if SA ends up going somewhere where he can play this offseason.

3.12 - OldMilwaukee - Javon Walker, OAK, WR16

4.05 - OldMilwaukee - Dwayne Bowe, KC, WR22

8.05 - OldMilwaukee - Bryant Johnson, SF, WR43

9.12 - OldMilwaukee - Mark Bradley, CHI, WR54

12.05 - OldMilwaukee - Craig Davis, SD, WR71

13.12 - OldMilwaukee - Michael Jenkins, ATL, WR77

18.05 - OldMilwaukee - Brad Smith, NYJ, WR88

19.12 - OldMilwaukee - Devard Darling, KC, WR99

I'm a big fan of 8 WR sets, so points for that. Walker and Bowe both are huge talents, but have questionable QB's throwing the ball to them. Bryant Johnson and Bradley both get 'heh' for possibly being the #2 or #1 on their respective teams by the time the season starts. As for everyone else, they all at least have potential going for them. They are in situations where they should be able to show off what they can do now.

B, a lot depends on how Bowe and Walker do, but it seems like you'll always have points coming from someone somewhere.

5.12 - OldMilwaukee - Vernon Davis, SF, TE8

7.12 - OldMilwaukee - LJ Smith, PHI, TE15

VD has a lot of potential, but has put up substandard numbers. I expect more of the same, but if he does excel this could be amazing value in this scoring format. LJ Smith's season was wrecked by nagging injuries last year, if he stays healthy you'll have a productive starter.

B-, I think this is a decent pairing, but with the current QB situation in SF I just don't think Davis will see his upside realized quite yet.

11.12 - OldMilwaukee - Chicago Bears, DST2

14.05 - OldMilwaukee - Buffalo Bills, DST18

Two defenses. One of which has Devin Hester which is as close to an auto-A as you can get.

A

16.05 - OldMilwaukee - Lawrence Tynes, NYG, PK18

One kicker.

Overall: C+

You excel at QB, but your RB's are really lacking and one kicker was a scoring liability you really didn't need to give yourself. TE and WR are OK, but to succeed it seems like you need VD to do well, Ronnie Brown to be 100% and hopefully have Andre Davis or SA to do well.

 

[Team Legacy]

QB - Romo (10), Redman (7), B Johnson (10)

Well, I grabbed Romo early and have him as the #2QB in the league next year. Backing him up is what I feel to be the starting QB in Atlanta. 10 TDs and 5ints in the last 5 games, which included a total crapper on the road against a hot Bucs team. Throw that game out, 4 games, 10 tds, 3 ints, 1050 yards... WOW! B Johnson protects my Dallas QB.

GRADE - A

HB - DWill (9), T Jones (5), Rudi (8), Leon (5)

Well, I took alot of heat for the DWill pick. I wanted Romo in the 3rd, so I didn't want to risk losing my #1 rated RB at the time. For me, it was already decided Romo/Dwill or DWill/Romo. Now if I knew for sure that he would have slipped to 4.7, I obviously would have done things differently. T Jones at 4.7 is GREAT VALUE with that improved Jet ground game. Rudi at 6.7 - I had Berrian penciled in here and backed out when I couldn't pass up what I hear to be a healthy Rudi in the 6th. Before the injury, guy was a first round pick. He's aging, so we'll see if this works out. Leon in the 13th.. okay, I'll say it again.. value AND insurance. I think this group has good depth actually.

GRADE - B-

WR - Randy (4), HinesWard (6), VincentJackson (9), Patten (9), Hardy (?), DJack (8), Chatman (8)

I couldn't turn down Randy Moss this year. Even with a 20% dip in production, still puts him #1 right? Unbelievable! Ward as the WR28 was WR28 last year and missed 3 games, so I think that's a decent spot for him. Considered VDavis here, but banked on Scheffler making it back. VJax was beastly last year, not a great WR3, but if they pick up where they left off, he'll outperform WR44. 18 rec 300 and 2 TDs in the final 3 games definitely stood out for me. Patten came up huge last year and on the Saints offense, I'll take a veteran. Hardy, DJack (thrilled about how late I scored him) and Chatman all have upside, but I'm not sure what else.

GRADE - B

TE - Crumpler (6), Z Miller (5)

Crossin fingers that Vince takes to Crumpler the way Vick did. Like what I saw from Miller last year. In the end, I considred a 3rd tight end over Romo's backup, but with what was left, I decided to ride with these two guys. Decent, but not good.

GRADE - C-

PK - Gramatica (9), Prater (8)

Saints offense and Denver's offense.

GRADE - B-

Dst - Vikes (8) Jets (5)

Love the Vikes this year. Jets added some playmakers as well.

GRADE - A-

OVERALL - B -- Decent squad with good bye week results. There were a couple times I turned down a player from a team I already had which is a MUST in this format before bye weeks are released.

Like your QBs and think Redman is under rated this year. Guess we'll find out on Saturday. Agree with your A.DWill was a huge whiff. I like your other RB picks. I see three RB2s here C at best.

I think you were conservative in grading your WRs and were a grade too low on your TEs.

Overall you did well despite reaching 2 rounds for DWill.

Aaah, I love these memories.... I took MORE heat for this pick than ANY draft pick I can remember. Having already committed my 3rd round pick to a QB, I COULDN'T risk NOT getting my top rated RB. Some say he would have slid to the 4th, I just couldn't risk it, besides, I landed T Jones in the 4th. I'll await my detractors...
