is it okay with you if I copy this?

Exact duplicate of my week 1 rooster with the exception of Bell. You do know he's suspended for the first couple of weeks? I'll see how they do after week 1 and may make a few tweaks but will probably go with this lineup for the first 4-5 weeks.

Here are the low priced guys (<$5) I like in this contest:
QB: Nothing to get excited about, but a good way to secure a floor. Perfect 3rd QB. Also provides help to get you through weeks 1 through 5 if you select Brady and the suspension is upheald.
Fitzpatrick $3- My favorite of the three and the cheapest. My money is on him keeping the starting job for the season.
Winner between Hoyer $5 and Mallett $4
Taylor $5 (if he wins the Buf job)
RB: Again...not a ton of value here unless someone gets hurt.
K. Robinson $5- Knows the NO system and has upside. #2 on the depth charts.
J. White $5- Could fill the "Vereen" roll. I personally don't trust any NE rb to consistently put of solid numbers with Belichick
C. Artis-Payne $4- A J. Stewart injury away from being a starter
B. Oliver $3- Proved he can produce some huge numbers last year when given the opportunity due to injury.
A. Smith $3- Made some huge plays last year in the passing game. Could pop for some counting scores with ATL backs hurting.
WR: This is where I feel the value is located in the low priced players. Several of these guys will be on my team.
D. Funchess $5- I liked him before the Benjamin injury. I like him even more and is a no brainer to me.
P. Dorsett $5- Will provide a few huge games this season...if an injury happens, he could be a stud.
E. Royal $4- Another no brainer here for this price. Starter with history with Cutler and both White and Jeffery are hurting.
C. Beasley $4- #3 WR on Cowboys who's role seems to be increasing. I like him in PPR.
D. Moncrief $4- Another solid option for IND, but I like the upside of Dorsett more. Wouldn't surprise me if Moncrief is more consistent.
J. Hardy $3- Cheap flyer who could produce if the cards fall correctly.
C. Brown $2- I really like him if Benjamin is out for an extended time. Vertical home run threat.
S. Coates $2- I like his dynasty potential more than this year, but is worth the $2 flyer in this system.
TE: Some added depth, but not expecting big things.
R. Rodgers $5- Starter on a high octane offense. Will get some red zone love and make a few catches a game.
J. Tamme $4- Could surprise with a bigger role this year in ATL. I like the passing game and schedule.
M. Williams $3- If he starts for BAL, he could put up descent numbers.
V. Green $3- This is a vote for Manning more than anything. It is a cheap lottery ticket. This is my favorite cheap TE.
B. Watson $3- Right now listed as the starter for NO. Another vote for a QB who likes to use the TE.

Wheaton.

if I had $5 left for a receiver, it would go to either Wheaton or Funchess.
As I have $3, I'm keeping Tavon Austin for now. Highly unlikely to start often, but a few big games is within reason.

I am not asking for names, but just curious how many players over 20 dollars do you have with a 30 man roster?

I dont like any of the top 4 at their price points versus getting studs in other positions. Can't set this position until a couple days before deadline imho.
FUBAR
Footballguy
interesting. I have a hard time moving Gronk off the team. Doing so would free up a ton of space, but he's been locked in for a while now.
I don't see the value in the lower prices TE's like I have in years past. WR on the other hand is loaded with values. So for me it's a pretty easy choice to take Gronk in place of a stud WR.
msudaisy26
Footballguy
I have yet to try to fit Gronk in, I don't think I can without ruining the rest of what I have. I do like 3 of the top 4 tight ends though.
HairySasquatch
Footballguy
I was just getting bored with the vague posts about the numbers at each position and % of cash used. Thought I would start talking about names. I'm sure a lot of the names on this list will flip by the time the contest closes.
msudaisy26
Footballguy
Which would you rather have for your tight ends
Gronk
And a couple of 8 to 10 guys
Or
Olsen
Kelce
and one of the 8 to 10 dollar guys?

It doesn't matter, it is inevitable that some specific cheap players will be owned by a lot of avid readers of this forum, whether the names are posted in this thread or not. It happens every year because there are some obvious values for those who do the research.
This always brings up the "uniqueness" variable. If a lot of similar rosters make it to the final 3 weeks, a more unique roster might have the advantage over them when the cuts go away and point totals matter instead.

It's quite funny how you can change your team many times - I've cycled through at least 30+ changes since day 1- and each time I hit submit and review my team, I feel like I have a winner. I will say that all of my iterations have consisted of 26+ players. I can't recall my team/strategy from last year (is there a way to find this?) but this year I am able to find and favor value plays over stud-heavy strategies. We'll see. I guess over/under of changes from start to final is about 100. Sound about right, fellow addicts?

Why is everyone leaving out Bennett? He had a great year last year and should do the same or better this year.

Who was the person last year that made the website for the scoring of this as it goes during the season? I am interested in this type of work and would love to tinker around and build my own version of this site for practice and possible portfolio work(that I also find really interesting instead of diving into private info with ethic concerns that most people ignore that bugs me). I haven't subscribed in a while but really enjoy the info presented so I jumped on it this year and found the sub contest and saw someone mention this type of site...

I feel like three positions are set. QB, K, D. the only likely change there is if I have an extra dollar to upgrade one of the K.
WR is mostly set. Haven't changed anything here in a few days, unlikely to without injuries.
TE, the only real decision left is "to Gronk or not to Gronk" He's out right now (first time since I first submitted) but I don't really like it.
RB is the tough position IMO.
WR is mostly set. Haven't changed anything here in a few days, unlikely to without injuries.

I'm all in on this guy "who probobly wont score a point" for you all season.
No brainer imo.
I have 3 WR's on my roster who cost $4, so obviously I think you can find one who will be productive.

I think average player count will be higher this year. I see a lot of people in the high 20s, and I've had several combinations of 30 players myself that I've liked.

I didn't like initial 30 player teams... but now that some dudes are getting injured, they look more interesting.
I've always been a 18-21 roster guy. This year I have been at around 24 or 25. I feel as though there is good value in cheaper QB's and WR's, but I feel like you have spend bigger money at RB and TE as I don't like the cheaper options there nearly as much.
