Injuries seem to kill me in this thing every year, so I like the extra 4 spots.

Think I'll likely be going with the following:

QB (3) - $75 - Expecting big numbers from here all season

RB (7) - $59 - NO STUDS...quantity over high quality...Mostly complementary guys who are in good/great PPR situations...injuries to top guys will make this a strength with many unique names

WR (7) - $60 - Like RB, went with quantity over high quality...With PPR, I should be OK here and couple picks are looking very good with preseason finished!

TE (3) - $43 - Could be 3 of the top targeted TEs this season...at 1.5 PPR and considering TDs regressing back up to the mean, this may be the strength of my team.

PK (2) - $4 - Two kickers. I just hope neither pulls a Grammatica.

DEF (2) - $9 - Personal choice for special teams points and the preseason's best D.

Now to sit back and watch my team go down in flames again...
QB - Aaron Rodgers - GB/5 - $27QB - Philip Rivers - SD/5 - $25

QB - Byron Leftwich - TB/8 - $4

Dropped Romo for Leftwich. He'll likely be on a lot of teams, but decided to bump up my RBs a little. Week 5 could be interesting, but there are a bunch of people dealing with byes that week.

RB - Darren McFadden - OAK/9 - $29

RB - Leon Washington - NYJ/9 - $12

RB - Jerious Norwood - ATL/4 - $9

RB - Ahmad Bradshaw - NYG/10 - $8

RB - Kevin Faulk - NE/8 - $8

RB - LeSean McCoy - PHI/4 - $7

RB - James Davis - CLE/9 - $2

Added McFadden with the Leftwich change from above. Assuming he can hold on to the #1 spot, he'll be my "stud." The rest are potential PPR monsters and possible starters if an injury hits the #1 on their respective teams. Don't like having almost half off week 9, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

WR - Vincent Jackson - SD/5 - $21

WR - Steve Smith - NYG/10 - $12

WR - Chris Henry - CIN/8 - $12

WR - Isaac Bruce - SF/6 - $5

WR - Nate Burleson - SEA/7 - $5

WR - Percy Harvin - MIN/9 - $5

WR - Davone Bess - MIA/6 - $3

Went with a bunch of WRs that should see single coverage with a decent #1 on the other side or at TE. No real bye issues here. Harvin might be on a lot of teams, but he should get some rushing and receiving yards at a cheap price.

TE - Chris Cooley - WAS/8 - $15

TE - Greg Olsen - CHI/5 - $15

TE - Owen Daniels - HOU/10 - $13

I expect my FLEX to come from here every week. This should be the strength of my team and will lean heavily on my TEs I think.

PK - Robbie Gould - CHI/5 - $2

PK - Matt Prater - DEN/7 - $2

Kicker with a big leg and the guy who plays in Denver. Just stay healthy...

TD - Minnesota Vikings - MIN/9 - $6

TD - Green Bay Packers - GB/5 - $3

Like the potential of the Minny defense with Harvin as a returner and the Williams Wall. GB has been crazy good in the preseason, so let's hope they continue.

That's my team. Let's see if we can bring home the money!!!

 
This is what I got so far but, hey, I've got an hour left to change it another 30 times:

2 QBs - $38

7 RBs - $85

7 WRs - $94

3 TEs - $24

3 Ks - $3

2 DEF - $6

Week 5 is this team's biggest flaw. Spent heavily on RB, assuming one will always be the flex play. Pretty weak at WR depth.

Really? Going from Holt to Colston or from Gonzalez to Jennings isn't changing tiers? From Heath Miller to Olsen isn't changing tiers? Those are some might big tiers you have.
You get into player evaluation stuff here; personally, I think Holt is overpriced, and so is Gonzalez. I don't think Jennings is a different tier than Ochocinco, who's $5 cheaper, or Colston, who's $4 cheaper.
Holt is grossly overpriced.

Looks like Parker, Robinson and Finley going to be on a lot of teams. Hard to pass up those bargains.
I actually think I passed on 2 of 'em, though it was a bit tough to do so and I did have scenarios with all 3.Just waitin' for the :IBTL: before I post my team and thoughts.-QG

Lockdown likely will not come until tomorrow morning. They tempt you into last minute changes. Folks will lock down tonight and check in the morning and make additional edits.

But I am done and I feel free.

WR was most difficult position for me to commit. I think partly is the major shift in ppr drafting this year to take many early WRs and then scramble to identify some RBs. I think most of my rosters have stronger WRs than here in the contest and I kept trying to improve them. However, I think that my RBs got much stronger than I anticipated.

oh well, its in the can now.....

QB $47

RB $84

WR $90

TE $23

PK $3

DST $3

Total spent $250. Looking forward to Mr. Drinnen's Stats, especially the number of teams that went with less than the 24 allowed and following the progress week by week.

Good Luck to all and to all a good night.

Rodgers, Hasselbeck, Leinart - $48 - Waffled for a long time on taking Warner instead of Hasselbeck, but I think Hass is a better bargain and he allowed me to spend more elsewhere. The injury risk is a little dicey here. Leinart will be on a lot of teams - I figure if you don't have him and he does well, you're going to get crushed. $4 insurance/lottery ticket.

Ray Rice (who I actually hate this year in regular leagues), Willie Parker, Leon Washington, Felix Jones, Maroney - $64. Lots of guys who can put up points every week. People are finally sleeping too much on Maroney. I think he's a great value pick this year. Surprised we didn't see more submissions with Parker and Felix Jones - Parker for the recent hype and the cheap production, Jones for the hype.

Greg Jennings, Anquan Boldin, Steve Smith (NYG), Derrick Mason, Nate Burleson, Chansi Stuckey, David Clowney - $95. Jennings and Boldin have early byes and are relatively cheap as top tier WRs go. I'm targetting Mason in every league this year, and at $9 he's a steal. I actually picked Boldin and Jennings because their bye weeks didn't match his. Steve Smith is still my vote for best WR on the Giants this year. Burleson is cheap depth. The Jets #2/#3 should be worth some points every week. Considered dumping them just to get more roster spots, but if either has a big week, I may be alone in having them.

Cooley, Shockey, Finley - $27. Cooley gets great receptions for his price. He'll be on a lot of teams. I love Shockey this year and have targetted him near the end of the starter TEs. Also like Finley this year, but more importantly, he's going to be on pretty much everyone's roster. If you don't have him the week he goes off, you're in trouble.

Gould, Brown, Janikowski - $4. Longest strongest legs I could find. I don't care that two of them share a bye. I want the weeks that they kick three field goals including a 50. I seriously considered dropping my bottom two receivers just to stockpile kickers.

Eagles, Bears, 49ers - $12. Sacks, interceptions and touchdowns. Even though Ds won't score a ton%2ier WRs go. I'm targetting Mason in every league this year, and at $9 he's a steal. I actually picked Boldin and Jennings because their bye weeks didn't match his. Steve Smith is still my vote for best WR on the Giants this year. Burleson is cheap depth. The Jets #2/#3 should be worth some points every week. Considered dumping them just to get more roster spots, but if either has a big week, I may be alone in having them.

QB - Aaron Rodgers - GB/5 - $27

RB - LenDale White - TEN/7 - $12

RB - Leon Washington - NYJ/9 - $12

Total $94....I expect Mario Manningham to see significant playing time by Oct. for Gints. I think Britt is not so great being a rook, but he just looks so right.

TE - Greg Olsen - CHI/5 - $15

TE - Todd Heap - BAL/7 - $5

$20... A lot to spend here. Olsen could be top 3 and Heap will give me differentiation over everyone with Jer. Finley, I see a good year for Heap

PK - Ryan Longwell - MIN/9 - $3

Don't sleep on multiple kickers for the contest my grandma told me.

Total $4 .... Texans D might the right choice here.

Last year I hit on the best rookies getting DeSean Jackson, Slaton and Matt Ryan. This year, im avoiding all rookies but Kenny Britt. Just took James Davis out of my lineup for Michael Bush.

I decided that I was going to get a few high priced players this year and have a smaller roster of only 20 players. Being a Jags fan, I had to pick up MJD as one of my high priced players, you've gotta have players on your team that you can cheer for. Ran out of time to make one last switch, should have changed Kevin Jones. I suspect that a lot of people picked up Edgerrin James.

We are sending a special email here, because we want to make certain you have not overlooked the deadline to submit your contest entry. This contest is free to subscribers and takes just a few minutes to enter. But time is running out. You have all day Tuesday to complete this. When we wake up Wednesday morning (and we get up early), we will lock down the contest. Whatever entry is against your account will be your final roster. There will be NO exceptions to this deadline because of the work we have to do to lockdown this contest (backup databases, configure the scoring engine, check entries for vailidity, etc).

sounds like its not locked until tomorrow

This is a pretty standard best ball team for me. In this format quantity > quality. A few scrub players can generally combine to score as much as a high level starter, so there's little point in spending top dollar for a big name player. I instead focused on bargain bin options who have a realistic chance of contributing a good score each week.

Ryan and Hasselbeck are two cheap QBs with top 10 potential.

At RB, I thought it was very important to have 4-5 strong options to cover for injuries and variance.. DeAngelo Williams was easily the best value of the elite backs at a modest $37. Marshawn Lynch, Ray Rice, Leon Washington, and Felix Jones are cheap depth guys who should average double digit ppg when they play.

I went with quantity > quality at WR. V. Jackson, Henry, Chambers, Mason, Jenkins, Crayton, Henderson, and Schilens will play important roles for their team. All of them have a realistic shot at double digit scoring in any given week. Mason in particular was a criminal value at $9. I can't imagine many people passed that up. Harvin and Nicks both have breakout potential at a dirt cheap price. I don't have any studs, but I have ten guys here and I expect all of them to get a lot of playing time for their teams.

Heath Miller and Dustin Keller give me a good 1-2 punch of upside and reliability at TE. Martellus Bennett was thrown in to provide a third scoring option to cover for injuries and variance.

At PK and DEF I got two decent options with non-conflicting byes. I considered going with a third DEF over a third TE, but I decided against it at the last minute.

This contest is a total crapshoot. There will be thousands of teams and only a few of them will win a significant amount of cash. I like my chances to survive deep into the season, but anything beyond that will require massive amounts of luck.

 
I don't know, I didn't spend much time on this, in hindsight I probably should have ditched Leftwich and found some points for better defense/TE.
