Nice run of pre-selects. Just hope everyone has their emails entered into MFL so they get contacted.

Two interesting starts IMO: Krsone21 with Brees and Gronk, compared to helltoupee's Lynch and Foster. Good picks all around, just interesting to see the seeds of strategy.

Julio/Murray - Nothing odd here yet.

Julio was on a monster run until the foot sidelined him. Week 9 bye week. That and 4 are the devil this year. Will need to be careful.

The Murray selection was half on talent and half on the odd week 11 bye week that shouldn't conflict with anything later.

I'm trying something different this go around. Lately it seems like I go RB and WR early so giving this a try and see how things look at the end.

McCoy was somewhat of an easy pick though I contemplated taking Jimmy or AD.

Frankly, I debated internally about Stafford at 2.15. On one hand, the coach may want to run more and pass less, at least that's a rumor and the signing of Jed Collins would help there. OTOH, you don't have the best WR in the game and best since Jerry, have the best receiving RB in the game, sign one of the top WR Free Agents and draft a receiving TE highly and then not throw the ball. I feel fairly safe in saying Stafford will be a top 5 QB. Maybe less yardage, but more TDs.

With the 3.02, I figured it best to continue on the safe-play route with Fitz. He may not be a top 10 WR, but he's one of the most consistent WR1s in the league.

Off to a safe start, which after getting crushed in WSL seems a good thing.

QBs are falling a little further than I thought they might.

Added some upside with ertz and I kind of like having the combo with him and McCoy.

Curious to see how Chris Johnson does in New York, he could have an improved year. The guy is surprisingly consistent for all the heat he got for not approaching 2k again.

QBs taken in first 75 picks of draft:

• PDSL1: 10

Interested to see how this shakes out in our SSL neck of the woods.

Didn't check, but I know I didn't expect Ryan or a few others to make it back. Would have passed on Stafford had I known...

Very happy with QB's sliding as they did. After taking Brees and a RB in the 1st and 2nd of WSL and PDSL, I had decided to wait on QB a little longer this time. Gambled on Roddy hoping a good QB would fall back to me, and couldn't be happier Foles is the one who did. Might make me wait a little longer on a second now than I had originally anticipated.

Team so far - I would be happy with this core in a 12 teamer...

I was very happy to have waited this time around, and to see a huge crop of quality QBs available with my last pick (Newton). I was almost tempted to wait again, but was afraid there'd be a run on them.

As you should be. Foles fell way too far.

My team so far:

Drew Brees QB NO

Ryan Matthews RB SD

Steven Jackson RB ATL

DeSean Jackson WR WAS

Mike Wallace WR MIA

Rob Gronkowski TE NE

6.04 Jay Cutler - 9

2.04 Demarco Murray - 11

3.13 Ben Tate - 4

1.13 Julio Jones - 9

4.04 Wes Welker - 4

5.13 Julian Edelman - 10

Foles/Newton almost lasted to me in the 5th. Was a tossup between Cutler and Romo at QB, was definitely not going to push it another round.

Tate should get by on volume until he breaks at some point during the (pre)season. Welker was an easy selection. I have buyer's remorse already on Edelman, I had him and Joique in the list and changed top dog several times. I have a feeling I left the wrong one at the top.

1.04 Peyton Manning QB DEN (4)

Think I have taken him in the first round of every one of the survivors so far. To me he is the no brainer pick of the first round. I will take him over a RB or Graham probably every time. Much less risk of injury compared to other positions and I like knowing my first round pick should be healthy all season. He is just a points monster and a great way to start a draft. Safe pick plus pretty much a guaranteed advantage on the rest of the teams right off the bat. Sign me up.

2.13 Jordy Nelson WR GB (9)

Number one WR on a high scoring team with a great QB. I think he should settle right around WR 10 somewhere. Would have taken either Ball or J. Thomas had they made it to me but they both went with the two picks right before me.

3.04 Andre Johnson WR HOU (10)

Pretty easy pick here. He will still get looks from whoever the QB ends up being. Receptions and red zone looks. Feel he will also find a spot in the top 10, he is hard to stop. I sniffed TE here but decided to pass.

4.13 Dennis Pitta TE BAL (11)

Was pretty set on going TE here and I just really didn't love anything else at other positions. Pick came down to Reed or Pitta. BAL didn't add much to the WR/TE spots besides Smith/Daniels so Pitta gets the nod just due to the volume he should see. Could lead BAL in receptions, 2 PPR beast.

5.04 Jordan Reed TE WAS (10)

Wasn't planning on going this route as I really didn't think Reed would survive the turn. Once he did, I just felt he screamed 5th round value in this format. He should find some open space in this offense. It was really hard passing on Sproles here and even Moreno, but Reed was sticking out like a sore thumb with what was left at TE. He had a different bye week than Pitta so I jumped on it knowing I should be able to get a real solid score here at TE most weeks picking between these two. Add that to the Manning advantage and I should hopefully not finish last most weeks. I know I don't really have to worry about QB/TE the rest of the way so I can just load up at RB/WR. This was a gamble, but I felt Reed was worth it, he would have been a gift to somebody later in the 5th and I didn't want to see that.

6.13 Rashad Jennings RB NYG (8)

Speaking of a gift, that's kind of what this felt like having passed on RB thru nearly 6 rounds. As much as Rashad Jennings can be a gift I guess I'll take it. That just doesn't sound right, and something I never thought I would type. Possible 3 down back on a team that really hasn't done anything besides him to address the position. He showed that he can produce at this level and getting a "starter" this late really made me feel better about passing on RB when I took Reed last round. FWIW, collectively, the FBG's currently have him ranked as the 21st RB in PPR. I got him at RB 32. I was sprinting to the podium for this one, not cause Jennings is a world beater, but it filled a need better than what I thought I would be looking at.

Ref - I was considering taking Rashad as my 3rd back, if you hadn't taken him I likely would have either in 6th or 7th.

Gordon in the 7th. Now THAT is risk.....

Pretty happy with the team so far, though waiting on qb seems the better move here.

Q: Stafford

R: McCoy, CJ3

W: Fitzgerald, Austin, Hopkins

T: Ertz

4 guys I'd consider to be solid veterans, 3 guys with upside. Pretty much following the plan of getting a core of solid guys as the main dish, adding young guys for extra flavor.

Looks ok so far:

Martin, Doug TBB RB (P) 70.20 7
Moreno, Knowshon MIA RB 296.60 5
Woodhead, Danny SDC RB 227.40 10
Hilton, T.Y. IND WR 220.90 10
Jeffery, Alshon CHI WR 283.60 9
Maclin, Jeremy PHI WR (P) - 7
Davis, Vernon SFO TE 267.00 8
Ebron, Eric DET TE

We shall see what is left of the QB pickings which could make a big difference. A lot of risk/reward picks here which is how these things are won a lot of times.

Added two veterans with high floors, probably low ceilings. I'm probably playing a little too conservatively here but I feel pretty confident in these guys making it through most weeks.

this team may not have a TE yet......

6.04 Jay Cutler - 9

2.04 Demarco Murray - 11

3.13 Ben Tate - 4

7.13 Pierre Thomas - 6

1.13 Julio Jones - 9

4.04 Wes Welker - 4

5.13 Julian Edelman - 10

8.04 Kenny Stills - 6

9.13 Heath Miller - 12

10.04 Seahawks - 4

Hoping Heath Miller ends up as my ace in the hole, seems to be an extraordinary value at his ADP. Seahawks and their early bye are perfect in case I decide to run only 1 D. A bit nervous about Thomas and Stills with Cooks in town, but there's a lot of production unaccounted for with Sproles and Moore exiting the picture.

Overall, it looks like just another team. I'll have to add some flash soon.

I agree and hate I let him slip through the cracks. Sounds odd to say about a 32 year old player but he's one of my favorite sleepers of the season.

[SIZE=11pt]5.04 Jordan Reed TE WAS (10)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]7.04 Terrance Williams WR DAL (11)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Wanted to add another WR here and really felt with all the guys left he had the highest ceiling and potential for a break out/somewhat monster year. Several of the guys taken after him just don’t seem to be in very good fantasy situations even though the talent may be on par. Can make plays and take it to the hizzy. I’m a fan as he has WR2 on lockdown and the offense is supposed to chuck it around the yard this year. Dez demands coverage. Really took a look at going RB here again, but saw nothing that screamed fantasy points like Williams to me.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]8.13 Jarrett Boykin WR GB (9)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Might have been a little early but he showed the kind of play making ability last year that I like in best ball. Jones is gone and I know he may be 3rd fiddle to Nelson/Cobb, but I can see him outscoring those guys some weeks in this offense. GB TE position is a little shaky so I can see Rodgers looking Boykins way. Expect a lot of 3 wide sets, so Boykin and his big play potential will have opportunities. He proved he can handle a big boy role should Nelson/Cobb go down. Knowing the quick turn was coming I thought the RB I was targeting would make it, so I passed on RB yet again. With Nelson also on board, I have a pretty good piece of the GB passing game on lockdown. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]9.04 Khiry Robinson RB NOS (6)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Kinda upset I didn’t pull the trigger on him in the previous survivors. Wouldn’t be surprised if he is the main guy by the time they tee it up in September. Gut call here with some hype to support it. I know that even if he does become the primary, Thomas and Ingram will still get theirs, but I like the offense and situation he is in. I punt the RB position in these leagues for the most part, hoping to hit on something late or just post semi decent scores and hope my QB and TE’s carry me. This is the gamble I roll with at RB…potential SOD that saves my bacon at RB or just an average pick. We’ll see.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]10.13 Greg Jennings WR MIN (10) [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Too hard to pass him up here. Fantasy wise Patterson is going off the board as WR1 in MIN, but in a Norv Turner offense, Jennings position plays a big role. Patterson will stretch the field and get his, but I expect Jennings to still get peppered a ton by Cassel or Bridge. No real threat looming in the bushes. ADP will be primary and Norv likes to use TE, but Jennings is a solid addition as WR5 here.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]11.04 Chris Ivory RB NYJ (11)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Could have gone several directions here. Had James Jones and DEN DST penciled in as possible considerations here, but they went around the turn, so I switched gears and focused on RB. This ain’t a sexy pick, but Ivory should see the field and possible GL love on a run heavy team. Could have rolled the dice on some higher upside guys but with a questionable stable of RB’s on board I wanted someone who is pretty guaranteed to see touches every week. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Just past the halfway point and my team looks pretty standard for my strategy in these. Hopefully above average at QB/TE, solid to above average at WR, and WTF are you doing have you ever played fantasy football before at RB. [/SIZE]

Hoping Heath Miller ends up as my ace in the hole, seems to be an extraordinary value at his ADP. Seahawks and their early bye are perfect in case I decide to run only 1 D. A bit nervous about Thomas and Stills with Cooks in town, but there's a lot of production unaccounted for with Sproles and Moore exiting the picture.

Overall, it looks like just another team. I'll have to add some flash soon.

I used the same rationale with Denver. Don't know that I will stick to one D, but it's nice to feel that it's an option.

Pretty happy with the team so far, though waiting on qb seems the better move here.

Q: Stafford, Bridgewater

R: McCoy, CJ3

W: Fitzgerald, Austin, Hopkins, Hartline

T: Ertz, D Walker

D: Denver

4 guys I'd consider to be solid veterans, 3 guys with upside. Pretty much following the plan of getting a core of solid guys as the main dish, adding young guys for extra flavor.

Click to expand...

Added two veterans with high floors, probably low ceilings. I'm probably playing a little too conservatively here but I feel pretty confident in these guys making it through most weeks.

Click to expand...

Not sure I'd call it flash, but certainly some risk with adding Bridgewater as my QB2. I had anticipated McCown falling one more spot and wanted him as the backup. But really can't complain with the Lions and Vikings combo.

I rarely take defense early in these but felt there was little chance of one of the next 4 Defenses making it back. Didn't see a huge drop in RB or WR, so I took the team that added playmakers this year and has an early bye week.

never been a huge fan of rolling with one dst in these....at some point, even late in a draft (especially these 20 rounders) a second dst to chose from each week probably represents more value than a late flyer somewhere.....even the crappy dst's find a nut every once in awhile and take a pick 6/fuble/punt/ko back to the house and can outscore a team that gets you a handful of sacks/to's.....a case could probably actually be made that taking a third dst instead of your next to last flyer is worth it.....they don't get hurt, etc...

Not for nothing, but AFAIK the SSLs are only 18 rounds (and believe me I'd prefer 20 - if it were up to me it'd be something like 24 spots in the WSLs, 22 in the PDSLs, 20 in the SSLs, 18 in the MBSLs) ...

In a 20-rounder I definitely agree you need a backup at every spot, but the argument becomes less clear-cut with only 18 roster spots to go around.

I'm drafting as if it is 20 as listed at top....

It's 18 rounds.

From the first post in the rules thread...Same rules with the exception of draft lenght. PDSL is 20 rounds, SSL is 18 rounds.

We've always done 18 in the spring.

I guess it is confusing because when you click on the PDSL/SSL rules thread, the first thing you see at the top in radballs post "with all the other rules" is 20 rounds.....so you assume as the title of the thread indicates that is for both PDSL's and SSls.....you have to read the disclaimer of the quoted post to see the 18 reference......

The drafts over surprise...a great noob initiation.

My team through twelve rounds:

Drew Brees QB NO (6)

E.J. Manuel QB BUF (9)

I went QB and TE early which allowed me to hold off on their backups and allowed me to concentrate on RB and WR for the next 8 out of 9 rounds. I did decide to draft Manuel in the 9th round because there weren't many great backup options left at that point holding out as long as I could while still getting a starter that can put a few points on the board when Brees has his bye week.

Ryan Matthews RB SD (10)

Steven Jackson RB ATL (9)

DeAngelo Williams RB CAR (12)

It may not be a flashy group of RB's but they are all currently #1 RB's on their team. As long as they all stay healthy I should be able to get two decent RB scores.

DeSean Jackson WR WAS (10)

Mike Wallace WR MIA (5)

Dwayne Bowe WR KC (6)

Stevie Johnson WR SF (8)

Robert Woods WR BUF (9)

My WR's are once again not a flashy group considering I waited until round 4 to draft my first WR. It's not a spectacular group by any means but its a reliable group. I like my first three WR's and think they will be the core of my WR group. Stevie Johnson will provide the occasional good score even if he is the #3 WR in SF. I like Robert Woods to improve on his rookie season and I think he will be an excellent WR5 for my team providing some nice scoring weeks for my team.

Rob Gronkowski TE NE (10)

Marcedes Lewis TE JAC (11)

I had the same plan for my TE group as I did with my QB group. Grab a great one early and wait on a backup for as long as possible while still getting a quality backup. I know there are concerns that Gronkowski could miss a few games early on in the season. We shall see. Even if Gronkowski does miss a few games I think Marcedes Lewis will fill in nicely until Gronkowski gets back. Here is what Marcedes Lewis scored in the final 5 weeks of the season. He scored 14.60, 14.20, 19.40, 19.00, and 13.00 points. If Lewis can keep up that pace starting this next season then I have no worries if Gronkowski misses a few games. Of course Lewis could start out cold and I could be screwed early on just as easily. We shall see soon enough which Lewis shows up early in the season.

Like I stated above my strategy was to draft a great QB and TE early and then wait on their backups for as long as possible while loading up on RB's and WR's inbetween. I don't know if the strategy will work or not but I wanted to try something different to see how my team would look like in the end. Also I tried to stay away from having the same bye weeks within the positions and so far I have been able to accomplish that so whithin each position group I will have no more then one person on bye week at anyone time.

6.04 Jay Cutler - 9

2.04 Demarco Murray - 11

3.13 Ben Tate - 4

7.13 Pierre Thomas - 6

11.13 Andre Brown - 10

1.13 Julio Jones - 9

4.04 Wes Welker - 4

5.13 Julian Edelman - 10

8.04 Kenny Stills - 6

13.13 Jeremy Kerley - 11

14.04 Harry Douglas - 9

9.13 Heath Miller - 12

12.04 Mychal Rivera - 5

10.04 Seahawks - 4

Doing my best to juggle bye weeks while filling out the main coarse these past few rounds. I don't think Brown is particularly special, neither is the Houston offense, but should see a series or two each game to spell Foster. Probably should have went J Stewart instead, he'll have a lot more potential if his ankles hold up.

TE is pretty desolate at the bottom, Rivera was a desperation pick. Been a big fan of Kerley, seems like he has carved out a nice role in the Jets offense. Douglas is both Jones insurance and a gamble that he'll see a lot more time in the base offense with Gonzalez done.

Alls left is to choose some kickers and a joke of a backup QB.

I like your team. My one concern is Cutler. I have no doubts he can put up some good points in that offense but he has missed 13 games in the past 3 years. That could come back to hurt you since you don't have a quality backup.

I like your Rivera pick. I was targeting him that same round. You sniped him a few picks before me so I had to settle for Marcedes Lewis. I think with a veteran QB in Schaub Rivera could be a sneaky play for the cheap price you paid to get him.

Agreed, although I'm not big on Rivera he could be a good solid back up.

You're very veteran heavy but there's good upside here too.

Don't like your qb, but he should put up a few nice games and be solid enough in most others.

I always like to see different approaches, yours is different in going rb and wr heavy early. Just my opinion but if you'd taken a qb or te instead of Tate, I'd like your team even more.

This is my SSL2 team for better or for worse.

Drew Brees QB NO (6)

E.J. Manuel QB BUF (9)

I went QB and TE early which allowed me to hold off on their backups and allowed me to concentrate on RB and WR for the next 8 out of 9 rounds. I did decide to draft Manuel in the 9th round because there weren't many great backup options left at that point holding out as long as I could while still getting a starter that can put a few points on the board when Brees has his bye week.

Ryan Matthews RB SD (10)

Steven Jackson RB ATL (9)

DeAngelo Williams RB CAR (12)

Storm Johnson RB JAC (11)

It may not be a flashy group of RB's but they are all currently #1 RB's on their team except for Storm Johnson. As long as they all stay healthy I should be able to get two decent RB scores. I added Storm Johnson in round 17. He is behind Toby Gerhart, however I think he will still see around 10 touches a game with the occasional TD thrown in.

DeSean Jackson WR WAS (10)

Mike Wallace WR MIA (5)

Dwayne Bowe WR KC (6)

Stevie Johnson WR SF (8)

Robert Woods WR BUF (9)

Nate Burleson WR CLE (4)

My WR's are once again not a flashy group considering I waited until round 4 to draft my first WR. It's not a spectacular group by any means but its a reliable group. I like my first three WR's and think they will be the core of my WR group. Stevie Johnson will provide the occasional good score even if he is the #3 WR in SF. I like Robert Woods to improve on his rookie season and I think he will be an excellent WR5 for my team providing some nice scoring weeks for my team. In the 18th round I added Nate Burleson. There wasn't much left out there so I took a flyer on Burleson. I'm not expecting a lot from Burleson, however with the possible Gordon suspension Burleson could get a few good games during the season. Burleson is worth a late round flyer.

Rob Gronkowski TE NE (10)

Marcedes Lewis TE JAC (11)

I had the same plan for my TE group as I did with my QB group. Grab a great one early and wait on a backup for as long as possible while still getting a quality backup.

18.15 FUBAR selects Hawkins, Andrew

Obviously he's never going to be a WR1 or even WR2, but this is crazy good value. While this might not be saying much, I would not be the least bit surprised if he leads Cleveland WR's in receiving this year. Assuming Gordon's suspension sticks of course. I can't see Hawkins scoring many TD's though. That's the only reason I drafted Miles Austin. This was an awesome pick as a bye week filler.

Newton, Cam CAR QB (P) 407.45 12 Smith, Alex KCC QB 353.35 6 Bush, Reggie DET RB 247.20 9 Hyde, Carlos SFO RB - 8 McCluster, Dexter TEN RB 116.60 9 Morris, Alfred WAS RB 186.30 10 Latimer, Cody DEN WR (Q) - 4 Nicks, Hakeem IND WR 145.60 10 Rice, Sidney SEA WR (P) 56.10 4 Smith, Torrey BAL WR 201.80 11 Thomas, Demaryius DEN WR (P) 319.00 4 Watkins, Sammy BUF WR - 9 Chandler, Scott BUF TE 183.50 9 Cook, Jared STL TE 199.10 4 Bailey, Dan DAL PK 131.00 11 Vinatieri, Adam IND PK 139.00 10 Bears, Chicago CHI Def 129.00 9 Colts, Indianapolis IND Def 129.00 10 18 TOTAL PLAYERS Two QBs with different bye weeks -- CHECK. Got Cam later than I should have, so value there. He loses Steve Smith, but gains Kelvin Benjamin. Not sure he lost too much there, but he does need to step things up again, since ATL, TB, and NO have improved a good deal.

Bush and Morris should be decent production at the RB spot, assuming they stay healthy. Hyde is a wildcard, but I have a feeling that Gore, being in the 'over 30 club' now will be slowly winding down and

Hyde is the man they are expecting to take his spot. How much this year? I hope a good deal, obviously! McCluster is a late grab, but seems to do decently in the reception department each year. Don't

like having only 4 RBs though. If one or two are hurt, I'm in big trouble at this spot.

Really liking my group of WRs. 2-3 #1 WRs (if you count Watkins at the #1 on the Bills). 3 that can be anywhere from #2 - #4 WRs (Nicks, Rice, and Lattimer). A lot of balls being tossed around in Indy and Denver, so not sure how much Nicks or Lattimer will get, but Nicks has proven he can play and is getting away from interception-prone Eli Manning and to a young, dymanic, indoor-playing QB in Luck. Lattimer has a lot of talent, but will he gel this year with Peyton? I hope so!

TE I waited, once again, but I like the two I get. Equivalent ones went a bit earlier, so I'd like to think I got some value. No bye week issues.

PK and DST. Two each. No bye week issues.

Dear Mr. Foles, please stay healthy. I selected Jermaine Kearse in the 17th, thinking Geno Smith would come back to me in the 18th. When he didn't I thought about taking Mark Sanchez in the 18th, but realized that if I'm relying on the Sanchize, I'm pretty screwed anyway, so figured I'd roll the dice with Marlon Brown.

Sincerely,

Your new biggest fan

________

I started to break down my squad by position, but instead I'll say this - I like my "starters", don't love my backups. The choices most likely to burn me are Kearse over Geno or Pierce over David Wilson. I believe my team will contend if Foles remains one of the top 3 (as he was, once he started last year), if Kearse has a WR2 season, and if Charles Clay can play above his draft spot. I'd say there's a 22% chance of all three of those things happening. I should probably add in that it would be nice if I got immunity for Week 7 (Foles' bye week), but that's probably just getting greedy.

Thanks. Although he's not a great bye week filler for me as he shares a week 4 bye with Austin and Fitz. That's my only rough bye week but a lot of good teams are off that week.

I think my receivers as a whole will do well as this is ppr but won't score many touchdowns. Fitz might get enough but Austin, Hawkins, Hartline, Hopkins and streater are more likely to get >6 receptions than score 2 touchdowns in any game and get 75 receptions than 8 touchdowns on the year.

That's okay though as Stafford will have some big games as bridgewater will be an inconsistent rookie qb.

I suspect McCoy, CJ3, and West will also have some explosive games but I hope to not rely on my rb2 for much. Not real sure what to expect from Green but I think he could be a decent value.

Walker will likely be fairly consistent while ertz has the potential to explode in any game.

Kickers and defense are solid.

Overall my team isn't at high risk of throwing up duds together. I just hope consistency with a little pop is enough.

I don't remember if I had a strategy going in, but I ended up hammering RB/WR and hoping to get lucky at QB and TE. QB not so much as several got taken in the fifth, but QB_BEARS ended up around QB5 last year so if Cutler can stay healthy he will provide excellent value. It will be interesting to see how doubledipping at QB2 at the expense of a 2nd D affects the team performance.

My regret picks are Tate and Stills. Even looking back after it's over, I'm not sure what I'd do in those spots, but they both have left sour tastes.

Overall, the lineup looks very meh. Of course with survivor, sometimes that can go a long way.

Hawkins was on my radar at 18.13 and it was between him, Martavius Bryant (who I took) and Ted Ginn Jr.

More on this later, but the ONLY reason Hawkins is not on my team is because of his bye week (4). I ended up having to make some decisions, one of them being taking a 6th WR and only 1 PK because of some bye week issues with my WR's on board. My only PK has a week 4 bye and so does Manning. I figured with Manning out and my PK, I needed all hands on deck in week (4) so that eliminated Hawkins and Ginn.

Hawkins was on my radar at 18.13 and it was between him, Martavius Bryant (who I took) and Ted Ginn Jr.

More on this later, but the ONLY reason Hawkins is not on my team is because of his bye week (4). I ended up having to make some decisions, one of them being taking a 6th WR and only 1 PK because of some bye week issues with my WR's on board. My only PK has a week 4 bye and so does Manning. I figured with Manning out and my PK, I needed all hands on deck in week (4) so that eliminated Hawkins and Ginn.

also....I'm not actually sure this was "crazy" value....if this is a 20 rounder, I could see Hakins going in the 18th (?)......so just cause it was "last round" here, not sure it's crazy value....haven't looked and not sure where he has gone in the other drafts....and sometimes that doesn't even matter as it only takes one or two guys to like him and it may tip the scales....

I don't remember if I had a strategy going in, but I ended up hammering RB/WR and hoping to get lucky at QB and TE. QB not so much as several got taken in the fifth, but QB_BEARS ended up around QB5 last year so if Cutler can stay healthy he will provide excellent value. It will be interesting to see how doubledipping at QB2 at the expense of a 2nd D affects the team performance.

My regret picks are Tate and Stills. Even looking back after it's over, I'm not sure what I'd do in those spots, but they both have left sour tastes.

Overall, the lineup looks very meh. Of course with survivor, sometimes that can go a long way.

I really like your team.
