Coach Otis I have 1 draft left Saturday. What percentage of your value plays must I get on my roster (plus Houshmanzili) to declare CHAMPIONSHIP!! at the draft? I am thinking if your value picks get sniped by sharks I may put it on auto and give up the season early but if I get the majority I will stay and ask for my money right after the draft is done.

Otis, sorry to say, but you are dead wrong on this my friend. Looks like Royal will have more than 91 this year. What were you thinking? Shame on you

I had my league agree that if I didn't take my first two rounds worth of picks that everyone else would ice themselves.
I was able to acquire nearly every player from the all-otis squad, 2 people threw up during the draft and it was the bestest draft evah.
Oh, and I'm up 30-21 so far at half Oats.
Where do I send my check?

Normally I might tell you fellas to slow your roll, given that we are only halfway through the first games, but I think it's pretty much safe to say we've got this all locked up. :looktotheskies:
Royal 5 for 78
Welker 4 for 18, 2 TDs
Forte 123 total yards, 1 TD
Jerome Harrison averaging over 10 YPC; Hillis 2 fumbles and one lucky vultured YD on the back of a huge gain by Harrison
Rackers, just killing it, but who cares
And there is still a bunch of football to play.

J, Oats needs to be on staff. Make it happen now.

Jerome Harrison with a whopping 52 yards rushing...

Hillis had 2 very costly fumbles. I will say though he looks beastly running the ball, but if he continues to fumble they can't keep feeding it to him. Harrison had a couple nice runs but CLeveland really shot themselves in the foot with some very poor play calling in the 2nd half. Delhomme got injured but continued and they wheels came off the bus real fast.

The best thing about Bradford is to play the D playing against him each week. I won this week thanks to Bradfords three int's. Keep it coming your on fire

I'll wait for a claim before voting you given you're eloquent praise of Welker, but you're gonna get runup if you keep posting this wolfy...

Our band of rejects had a decent week.
Forte -- Over 200 total yards and 2 TD grabs, including a fantastic game winner of a grab. Martz knows what he has here. We'll see plenty more of this as the season goes on.
Harrison -- 52 rushing yards on 7 carries. He didn't blow up the stat board, but was over 5 YPC and looked tough. Hillis continued down the path to showing his true colors with two costly fumbles, though he did vulture the one touchdown that Harrison earned on a long run. Hawks lay in wait. Sharks panic.
Welker -- 8 catches for 64 yards and two touchdowns. Didn't look even a slight bit hampered to me. Look to see him abuse Wilson and Cromartie this weekend for over 100 yards receiving. Beaks up!
BMW -- He also didn't light up the night, but was the leading receiver for SEA, and was a hair away from a TD grab as well. He will continue to be the WR1 here. And his numbers will continue to improve over time.
Heap -- He had what, 7 grabs for 72 yards, including a near TD grab that would have put him over the 100 yard mark? Heap like clockwork, all day, every day.
Bradford -- He looked nothing like a rookie out there. Kid looked fantastic in his first game out, with strong throws and pinpoint accuracy, and he didn't look scared at all (see, e.g., Mark Sanchez). His three picks are deceiving -- one was a hail mary with time expiring, and one was a throw he had to make on 4th and long in the series before that, which was seemingly their last possession. With steady improvement, his numbers will increase, and don't be surprised to see this being one of the best rookie QB seasons in a long time (ever?).
LJ -- You shouldn't have started him week 1. But in week 10, when he drops 125 and 2, you'll be thankful to be in the nest and not swimming in the Atlantic.
Garcon and Miller were quiet, but as ever true hawk knows, you can't hit every shot you take. That's guppy stuff.

He also didn't take out the garbage before he left the house to head to the stadium. His wife was annoyed about it. She left him a note on the counter.

Not looking good thus far Oats. Royal looks like a steal, Forte had 1 monster game followed by two clunkers, and that's it. Hawks battling the mendoza line by my count. OOf

Bradford's looked pretty good too. Still think Ohawks is grounded here - and the chickens may be roosting in his nest by end of week 6.

If the chickens do come home to roost, lets look for all the roosters to circle the wagons and try to hit 'em where the sun don't shine.

I like Otis putting it out there...and many of these picks were "later in the draft" guys (except Forte and Welker).
What I found funny was Yudkin picking out, from all the guys listed, Welker as the mistake by Otis.

Week 5 Review
We've had some sharks bumping the 'ol thread as expected. Of course, while most sharks only play a portion of the fantasy season, Hawks go through till the end. With that said, let's see where we are at this point:
Sam Bradford
We boldly pinned him at QB12 and indicated Clayton would be heavily involved. Bradford sits around QB18 depending on your scoring format. Clayton was looking like dynamite, at around WR10, before his season-ender. That's fine. Bradford will continue to develop as a rookie, Amendola will benefit, and watch for Denario Alexander to become a tremendous fantasy force in his own right, giving Bradford a real NFL WR1. He's not quite QB12 yet, but don't be surprised to see him continue to improve over time and move up from his current spot to get there, because this kid could literally thread a needle from 50 yards out. Truth. He went #1 overall in my hawk-only Elite Dyno XL III fantasy sewing league.
Jerome Harrison
HAHA OTIS, YOU WUZ WRONG. HAHA, HE SUX0R AND PEYTON HILLIS IS WAY BETTER.
No.
You know that scene in Tombstone, where Kurt Russel's character is fording the river with a rifle with a bunch of bad guys holed up under cover on the other side, and they're all firing at him wide out in the open, and there he is crossing the river, just firing and pumping that rifle, and picking them off one at a time, all the way yelling "no... NO... NO!"? That's what's happening here. I'm Kurt Russel. And yes, Harrison didn't look great yet in limited action this season. And yes, he got hurt. But he'll make the Browns coaching staff look like idiots (well, even more than they themselves do), and he's going to end up starting RB for the Eagles, and he'll make good on my promise to rush for over 150 yards at least once this year, and then I'll take that 30 grand I had in eskrow for you guys and I'll take a trip to Philly to watch him play from the 50-yard line the following week, and I'll spend the rest 30 minutes away in Atlantic City that night.
Matt Forte
RB4 right now. :hawkscreech:
BONUS: Larry Johnson
He's not on an NFL team right now. But he was a bonus throw-in. Even hawks don't see 20/20, gups.
Mike Williams
He's WR70, and I'm really disappointed, because I really am a big fan (of course, they've already had their BYE week, so he's actually ranked a bit higher than that). Kid is still an athlete and still has potential. In fact, you can have him for absolute dirt right now. Scoop him up now; send Coach Otis chocolate hearts later.
Wes Welker
His ADP was around WR20 preseason. I told you he'd finish top-8. He's averaging nearly 10PPG depending on scoring format, which, accounting for his BYE week, puts him at around WR14 at this point. And with Moss gone, I think he becomes an even more significant factor. He's already proven to be better than fair value, and he'll continue to produce throughout the season. You're welcome, finned ones.
Eddie Royal
I told you Eddie Royal had 91 catches as a rookie. (I told you that three times). I told you that Eddie Royal will have 91 catches this year too. Eddie Royal has 29 catches in five games. Eddie Royal is averaging 5.8 catches per game. Eddie Royal is on pace to have 92.8 catches this year. Eddie. Royal.
Bonus: Pierre Garcon
He was a bonus pick, so don't complain. If I get a free raffle ticket and I don't win the Vespa, I'm not sitting here complaining about it, because it was a freakin' free raffle ticket to begin with. Garcon has been disappointingly bad. I don't have him rostered in any of my leagues. I don't care much about him. Did I mention you should pick up Danario "The Scenario" up while you can? That one's free too. But it'll cash. In fact, just cross out "Pierre" and replace it with "Danario."
Todd Heap
Todd Heap really IS old. Babe Ruth struck out a lot. He also hit a bunch of home runs. When you swing for the fences, that happens.
Bonus: Heath Miller
Look, I can't predict that they'll be down to the ice cream guy at QB for the first 4 games, so there's little I can do about what he's done to date. But what I can tell you now is that his value never has been lower, and Big Ben is back, and Big Ben likes throwing touchdowns to this guy like Coach Otis likes throwing bad pickup lines at twenty one year olds. So just go pick him up. Justify it by saying "man, I need a BYE week filler at TE." And in a few weeks your TE decision each week will boil down to "no change," because Miller will just be rock solid and you'll be glad you read this thread.

We're not doing this here. I think there's a kicker thread in the AC Forum, though I'm not sure, since us Hawks have that forum permanently blocked in our browser settings.
Onward and upward in week 6, fellow kings of the sky.

You probably should post an e-mail because your pm box won't hold the 30,000 messages with addresses to send the dollar. I do have a legal question for you. Since your new wifey married you after this statement, is she on the hook for 15K and licking 15K envelopes or does she get a pre-marital pass?Actually I would propose a class action alternative that most would agree to. Write a $30,000 check to the charity of Joe's choice and we'll call it even and you can take the deduction. If J doesn't want to step up, I would suggest the Carolina Raptor Rescue Center. http://www.carolinaraptorcenter.org/donation_form.php Gotta help out those crippled hawks.

Sometimes it is not about the outcome of a fantasy prediction, but the process used to arrive at it. I think this poster here has a pretty good process in place. It has obvious flaws, but it is a pretty good start for a first pass. I will look forward to the Hawk List in 2011.
