You're probably right. I literally spent 10 minutes filling out my team, just to make sure I got it in by the deadline. I could certainly see dropping Gabbert, and I like Wilson, so I'll think about that.For me personally that is way too much money spent at QB where you only have 1 starter and no flex possibility. With this years QB pricing I can't see rostering more than 3. You could drop Taylor, RGIII and Gabbert for Wilson for example and he would likely score more than the 3 of them combined.
Thats what makes this contest interesting though.
No ####. Everything else I like, but I can't stop dicking around with my RBs.Will someone please close this contest down so I can get some sleep?
I like this quite a bit. I have had every one of those guys except Peterson and Gano on my team at one point.QB - Drew Brees - NO/5 - $22

This is it...for now lol
I keep going back and forth lol. I either like RBs in the top price range or the bottom. All the middle priced ones seem like crap to me. WRs seem to have the best value throughout IMO. At TE, I'm taking the approach of I'll just grab all those value guys and hope 1 or 2 of them can break out.I like this quite a bit. I have had every one of those guys except Peterson and Gano on my team at one point.

Let's start the season already!!!
Plenty of time to get about 1000 iterations in before midnight!Thanks.
You must be planning on eating a leisurely dinner if you're only looking at 1000 more iterations.Steeler said:Plenty of time to get about 1000 iterations in before midnight!

9 down...991 to goYou must be planning on eating a leisurely dinner if you're only looking at 1000 more iterations.
Personally if you are going to take 3 QBs I would try to take 3 with different bye week s. Same for RB where 3 of your 5 guys share the same bye week. It's an early bye so you may survive it but it's not ideal IMO.So few constants in this world. Death, taxes and the awesomeness and depth of the footballguys subscriber contest and getting my butt kicked year in and year out at said contest. Good luck to all in what will be another roller coaster ride i am sure. Any constructive thoughts or amusing criticisms always welcome.

thanks for your thoughts. always torn between bye weeks and taking the players i think have the best shot to actually get hot and score some points at the right time.Personally if you are going to take 3 QBs I would try to take 3 with different bye week s.

Separate contests. The FD contest is a special contest subscribers can enter each week on FD. This contest is a freebie for any subscriber that has nothing to do w/ FD. It's a season-long survivor, best ball contest. Deadline on it is midnight tonight.I'm confused..... What's the one on Fanduel?
Your week 6 is my week 9. Difference imo is more teams are on bye week 9 so I feel somewhat better about it.I am going to take a break and eat dinner and then revisit week 6 to see if I can shift some $ elsewhere...
Check today's email from Joe....first I saw it. Looks like a standard Fanduel game, but they'll eliminate the bottom "X" teams each week and the others move on.I'm confused..... What's the one on Fanduel?
This should be the standard when people post their rosters. I'll use it....at 12:01am.If you're going to post your lineup, I'd be more interested in your strategies than just reading your player lists.
I'll keep my comments brief:
Tom Brady - NE/9 - $15
Matthew Stafford - DET/10 - $12
Robert Griffin III - CLE/13 - $7
Love an inexpensive Tom Brady paired with an inexpensive Griffin. I think Stafford has an easy top 10 finish this year. While I don't relish spending money on three QBs, that's too important a position to be vacated in case of a season ending injury.
Mark Ingram - NO/5 - $27
Latavius Murray - OAK/10 - $19
Melvin Gordon - SD/11 - $14
James White - NE/9 - $5
Christine Michael - SEA/5 - $4
Ingram a steal at that price. Murray not a spectacular #2, but his volume should pay off. I can't help but think that Gordon is going to rebound this year in a huge way. All reports say that Gordon is running angry.
Odell Beckham Jr - NYG/8 - $33
Mike Evans - TB/6 - $24
Brandin Cooks - NO/5 - $22
Marvin Jones - DET/10 - $12
Devin Funchess - CAR/7 - $6
Chris Hogan - NE/9 - $5
Would have liked more depth at RB, but WR is too important in this contest. After my big three of Beckham, Evans, and Cooks, I really love my cheap WRs. Jones is a steal at that price, and I'd argue Jones will match Tate's numbers at a much lower cost.
Dwayne Allen - IND/10 - $11
Martellus Bennett - NE/9 - $9
Virgil Green - DEN/11 - $4
Jesse James - PIT/8 - $2
What can I say? I am all in on Martellus this year. I think he finishes as a top 5 TE. Between Green and James, I believe one of those guys will explode this season and more than justify those picks.
PK - Matt Prater - DET/10 - $3
PK - Phil Dawson - SF/8 - $3
PK - Jason Myers - JAX/5 - $3
TD - Houston Texans - HOU/9 - $5
TD - Oakland Raiders - OAK/10 - $5
Thank you. I usually end up making this same plea every year. If I could have been sure that I wouldn't try to squeeze in 5 or 6 more iterations before the lock, I'd have done it already.If you're going to post your lineup, I'd be more interested in your strategies than just reading your player lists.
Love the various strategies employed for this contest and hearing people discuss their team's make-up and choices.
I am going with 30 players - found a lot of inexpensive value players and could not go all stud (high cost players) this year
Money & # players per position:
QB: 3 @ $27 total
RB: 8 @ $72 total
WR: 10 @ $97 total - always seem to favor a lot of wide receivers
TE: 4 @ $31 total
PK: 3 @ $9 total
TD: only 2 @ $14
Money tied up in Bye Weeks:
4: $9
5: $33
6: $41 - really wanted Doug Martin, but he had to go to lower my week 6 $ with only two teams on bye
7: $15
8: $22
9: $42
10: $24
11: $31
13: $33
The removal of Doug Martin caused several modifications, but this roster is locked as I must head to bed... best wishes for all of y'all that keep at it till midnight and beyond if the clock stretches
I like B if you have another QB for when RG3 is hurt.I am pretty much done be need help with my last little bit pick A or B please

I don't like Fitz this year, but I have been wrong before. McCoy scares me, I am not sure he will stay healthy, I think Ware could be awesome to start the year, but i am worried about later in the year. The rest looks good, but I pretty much always go 3 kickers and defenses.I have changed my lineup so many times I can't begin to justify my rationale. Just shut it down, lock it in, put it to bed.
