FBG 2013 "How did I do" Thread (1 Viewer)

[Da Gildz]

Right, that was my mistake. I meant overall 'position' player. Well my stance on the TE's is this. If you hit one big time a la Cook, just say i dont know, 85 rec's, 1,000+ and 10 td's. HUGE year! Is it that crazy tho for him to meet those #'s? Not sure it is. And if he did that, he's now in WR1 territory when u add in the 1.5 PPR> So to me, Colston is a fine WR2 and consistent option. He's probably not winning you a league or this whole contest. That was my goal to be honest, go big or go home. Colston just doesnt do much for me in that sense. If at the end of the day, Cook flames out, oh well. But i took that chance for the crazy upside.

You took a chance on Cook over a Colston type so it's a little more then oh well to me.

I'm more a guy who looks at trends and history when evaluating players. While Cook 'could' have a career year and go 85, 1000, 10 TD's it's unlikely given his career up to this point. I realized he's changed teams but up until this point his best season of his career was 49 recepts, 759 yards, and 3 TD's. It's a huge jump from those numbers to the numbers you are talking about.

Basically, different ways to build a team. You seem to like going to the high risk/reward guy in the hopes that you hit on them while I tend to be a little more conservative with my early picks looking for guys I can count on.

I do disagree that a Colston type probably wouldn't win the whole thing for you. 2011 his last 3 games of the contest were pretty good.

7 - 105 - 2 TD's

8 - 91

7 - 81 - TD

Total 3 weeks - 67.7 points.

He also ended the year as the 13th ranked WR. If he's not good enough to win your league or help win the overall contest I'm not sure who is.

Well i didnt really take Cook over a Colston. I took Cook in the 6th, Colston was long gone by then. Def took him over other 'quality' WR2 types tho.

Its a matter of preference like u said. Not trying to diminish Colston's value at all, he's a solid WR2 every year. BUT, if Cook does blow up and have that kind of year mentioned above, he's clearly way more valuable then Colston in this format. Since his advantage over mostly every other TE is significant vs Colston's edge over WR2's isnt much, if anything. Again, its asking alot from Cook but i dont think its unattainable. The physical tools have always been there. It's all about usage with him.

Overall I like this team with one glaring hole..rb3.I do like woodhead but feel you could have been deeper here by not taking 2 qbs so early..how much better would your team have looked to you had you chosen someone like Drich,Bell or Deangelo where you took Brady?

Considering you have 2 starting Qbs I think your team looks good.Helu and Micheal could be HUGE for you but you'll need an injury to Lynch or Morris for that to happen.

Shorts and Roberts represent great value where you most likely got them.

Not real sure about the Celek pick.

Good luck bro!

Wow passing over AP, 1st blunder. Outside of that , looks solid. Have a few questions:

Who did u take at 3.1?? Wayne or Witten? Has to be Witten right? I cant believe he lasted till 4.12. So Wayne and Garcon at the 4/5 elbow? Thats sick.

And why did u take Brady/Stafford? Wasted a pick there...

 

[khatchup]

Thanks guys. Yes I got witten with 3.1. Gonzo gronk and graham got picked in first and second round and I wanted witten bad. The Brady/stafford thing is something I have never done before. I looked at all wides and RBs at that point and there was nobody I was excited about. I am more excited about taking Brady and stafford out of everyone else's hand in the league (not great strategy for grand prize) plus now I have luxury of situational plays and matchup strategy week by week almost guaranteeing me 20+ per week from qb. Totally unconventional I know, but really I didn't like anyone at that point. Deangelo Williams is not someone I like. However my last pick is the rookie rb in Carolina super sleeper...I am loving my garçon Wayne combo at that point in draft. I have big expectations for garçon this year ... More questions please

 

[Da Gildz]

I faced a similar issue in my draft last night. I didnt envision the RB's being completely washed away by rd 6. I knew there would be slim pickings but im talking pretty much NOTHING in the 6th. But it is the price you will pay by taking a TE early, these guys drafting in these leagues are no joke. Like my latest team, you just have to hope your strengths in all other areas can nullify your rb depth. Cause if Martin/Sproles go down, u dont have a RB worthy of playing on that roster. Barring an injury that is. Im not a fan of taking 2 of those QB's. You're not really taking them out of everyone else's hands. The QB class is so freegin deep, you're just doing yourself a disservice really. You 100% needed to take a RB or even another quality TE at the spot u took the 2nd qb.

hitting my head on wall....i am trying to deny the fact that it was a bad move...im gonna go look at what i passed up right now again

I would have taken all of these in bold over that QB. Look at your roster, who are u even flexing? Shorts ok. But then ??? Woodhead? Bess?

How much better would these bolded guys look in your starting lineup over those 2? Rather then 1 of those QB's who will be on your bench every week. As well as giving you headaches all year over who to start. And just on the side, how the heck does Nicks last till 6/7 elbow??? Geez. I wish i drafted in this league lol

Well the glaring weakness is WR. When did u take Brown that he's your 2nd WR??? i'd love to see your picks like 6-10. Seems like u whiffed on those picks to be honest. Love the backs, very strong at the top. Vereen will be flex worthy all year. Solid TE's as well. Daniels should be flex worthy also which can help nullify your WR weakness. You have hope i think. If Brown and/or Thompkins is legit this year, your team is very strong.

I won't say it's unattainable but it's highly, highly unlikely for him to do 85, 1000+, and 10 TD's. Tony Gonzalez is arguably the best pass catching TE ever and you know how many times he put up those type of numbers over his 17 year career? Once.

I do agree with you. If Cook blows up and has a season like you are posting about he'll be more valuable then a Colston. If he falls in between your numbers and his career numbers it's a lot more debatable which WR's he's worth more then.

 

[Da Gildz]

Yea and not to beat a dead horse, u cant even trade in this league! Which makes that move doubly bad. If u could, at least you'd have that option of dealing 1 of those guys...

This was one of the oddest, most wildly unpredictable drafts I've ever been a part of. Brees was taken 2.4 (I got Stafford at 9.4). First kicker went 11.3 (Gostkowski). Five defenses picked in round 13. The team in the 12 spot went, starting in Rd. 8:

Interesting, think thats 2 rds to high on Brown to be honest. What other WR's were around that spot? I have to think there were better options then Brown who i like btw. I like Thompkins in the 9th tho. Also Owen Daniels in the 7th??? Seems high to me.

Big fan of your squad. Think you hit on all cylinders here. Great QB's, very solid backfield with Lacy as your 3. Deeeeeep WR core once Gordon is back. Talking 4 legit starters there. Throw in Randle who i love also. Nicks will miss some games, he always does. And I'm high on Cook as if u havent seen on this board so to me i give this an A easy. Very strong.

My only beef, if there is 1, you dont have much behind Cook. Fleener could be good, could be poor also. I would have liked to see another 1 of those young/upstart TE's here.

But this is definitely a championship quality roster IMO.

 

[Fantasy Fool]

Here is my draft from the 8th slot. Overall I'm fairly happy with the team. I was hoping for a better TE, but the guys I was targeting always went off before I got my next pick.

QB - Newton, Rivers

RB - Rice, Bush, McFadden, Green-Ellis, D. Thomas, Michael

WR - Cobb, Colston, Wallace, St. Johnson, Heyward-Bey, Kerley

TE - Rudolph, Bennett, Fleener, Tamme

D - Broncos

K - Bryant

 

[khatchup]

I'm gonna make up my double qb error in waiver wire magical pickup. I'm still thinking optimistically (I will pretty much never have a bad qb points total)

 

[ShutdwnStrngr]

my second team:

QB: Andrew Luck, Ben Roethlisberger, Ryan Tannehill
RB: Jamaal Charles, Maurice Jones-Drew, Giovani Bernard, Ben Tate, Mike Goodson
WR: Brandon Marshall, Torrey Smith, Wes Welker, Justin Blackmon, Rod Streater, Santonio Holmes, Patrick Edwards
TE: Owen Daniels, Fred Davis
PK: Garrett Hartley
TD: Cincinnati Bengals, St. Louis Rams

Made a terrible mistake by taking Wes Welker with Danny Amendola still on board, ended up with the same 2 TE's from my first team, kind of surprised Patrick Edwards hasn't been getting any hype I'm pretty high on him for a end of draft flyer

Any last moment thoughts on this BEASTMODE of a team?

"win it all" as in your league I hope you mean

Peyton has 42 right now

 

[khatchup]

my second team:

QB: Andrew Luck, Ben Roethlisberger, Ryan Tannehill

RB: Jamaal Charles, Maurice Jones-Drew, Giovani Bernard, Ben Tate, Mike Goodson

WR: Brandon Marshall, Torrey Smith, Wes Welker, Justin Blackmon, Rod Streater, Santonio Holmes, Patrick Edwards

TE: Owen Daniels, Fred Davis

PK: Garrett Hartley

TD: Cincinnati Bengals, St. Louis Rams

Made a terrible mistake by taking Wes Welker with Danny Amendola still on board, ended up with the same 2 TE's from my first team, kind of surprised Patrick Edwards hasn't been getting any hype I'm pretty high on him for a end of draft flyer

sure you made a terrible mistake? lol

Welker might be the steal of this whole thing. Top-5 potential at WR.

Welker might be the steal of this whole thing. Top-5 potential at WR.

Julius Thomas might be the steal..... especially in this format which values TE's.

Its possible, although I still dont think he'll be a consistent option in this offense. Its fantasy football. Every owner of his will start him next week and he'll go 2 for 23. Welker tho will be his goto guy/safety blanket just like he was for Brady. His role is so unique Welker, which is why i couldnt understand people projecting less then 80 rec's for him. He'll easily top 100+ rec's this yr.

FFPC #1 Pick

Obviously, things went a little bit differently in the FFPC than in the FPC after last night's game. Since drafts went off today and will be going tomorrow, some players (Peyton Manning @ 2.2 and Eric Decker @ 7.9) had some pretty dramatic swings from ADP. I felt like I had to play a little bit of defense with drafting from the 1 spot. I may have reached for Welker and Sudfeld, but I think my team looks pretty solid. Your thoughts and comments (even complimentary ones!) are much appreciated.

1.1 Adrian Peterson

2.12 Andre Johnson

3.1 Wes Welker

4.12 Lamar Miller

5.1 Jordy Nelson

6.12 Kyle Rudolph (Finley, Gates, Cook and Cameron went in round 6. Didn't feel Like I had a choice here)

7.1 Tom Brady

8.12 Chris Ivory

9.1 Zach Sudfeld

10.12 Pierre Thomas

11.1 Darius Heyward-Bey

12.12 Roy Helu

13.1 Rod Streater

14.12 E. J. Manuel

15.1 Markus Wheaton

16.12 Jeremy Kerley

17.1 Keenan Allen

18.12 Zach Miller

19.1 Broncos DST

Mr. Irrelevant David Akers

Always interesting to see how the Thursday games influence the drafting. My league I just drafted had Peyton go in the mid 1st (luckily I'm not playing the team who got him this week). The 4th is the latest Ive seen Lamar Miller go and I think he is going to be a key aspect of how your team does along with getting one of your TE's to breakout. Overall, though I like your draft and Welker likely deserves the big jump with his performance so I don't think you necessarily overpaid.

 

[Peeps Inc.]

outta the two hole which is the worst pick in the draft

Cam Newton, Sam Bradford

Jamaal Charles, Gio Bernard, Bryce Brown, Roy Helu, Kniles Davis, Stefan Taylor

Andre Johnson, Reggie Wayne, Golden Tate, Greg Jennings, Emmanuel Sanders, Kenbrell Thompkins, Rod Streator

Rob Gronkowski, Julius Thomas

Seabass, Henry

Houston

it was a pretty tough crowd, basically forced me to take Gronk in the late second, i love the upside of Tate, Sanders, Thompkins and Streator thou. If Bernard pans out and Gronk shows up it should be fairly solid

man i hope the stars of the gremlap system line up for this one

 

[Da Gildz]

Did u start Julius??

 

[ImTheScientist]

Did u start Julius??

Nope. I thought Fred Davis would have a better week against the eagles craptastic D.

Julius is starting next week though ... just in time for Davis to blow up week 2. Thats how it works.

Did you notice Banks has tons of teams with both Julius and Manning? I do as well, thought it was funny though...I must have snagged them before he got to them in my draft. He also started in one leauge almost a team full of Broncos.

[chungknows]

RB: Chris Johnson, Shane Vereen, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Daniel Thomas, Andre Brown
WR: Danny Amendola, Miles Austin, Kenny Britt, Golden Tate, Stephen Hill, Rod Streater, Jeremy Kerley

[ffrookie]

Just did a couple FFPC drafts. Since all drafts are over now I thought Id post and would be interested in any feedback (positive or negative):

Team 1 (3 spot):

QB: Kaep (8), Bradford (14)

RB: Charles (1), Sproles (3), Mendenhall (7), Helu (11), Knile Davis (13), Goodson (19)

WR: Marshall (2), Antonio Brown (5), Shorts (6), Britt (9), Marlon Brown (12), Patton (15)

TE: Gonzo (4), Fleener (10), Kelce (16), Ausberry (20)

K: Bullock

D: Steelers

Team 2 (11 spot):

QB: RGIII (8), Bradford (15) -- guess I like Bradford as a backup

RB: Spiller (1), Gore (4), Woodhead (10), Redman (12), Pead (14), Tolbert (16), Goodson (20) -- was hoping to get Helu but just missed at 11 (pick before me so went Fleener)

WR: Demaryius (2), Amendola (3), Antonio Brown (5), Shorts (7), Patterson (13) -- guess Im all in on Antonio Brown and Shorts

TE: Cook (6), Myers (9), Fleener (11), Ausberry (19)

K: Bullock

D: Zona

In case anyone is wondering the following Broncos/Ravens players went in the drafts:

Peyton Manning -- 2.5 and 1.7

Demaryius Thomas-- 2.2 and 2.12

Wes Welker-- 3.3 and 3.7

Julius Thomas-- 5.4 and 3.8

Eric Decker -- 5.8 and 7.10

Montee Ball-- 6.7 and 6.4

Knowshon Moreno-- 8.9 and 11.6

Ronnie Hillman-- 12.7 and 12.2

Matt Prater-- 19.4 and 17.10

Denver D-- 14.5 and 14.1

Joe Flacco-- 16.3 and 16.1

Ray Rice-- 1.10 and 1.5

Torrey Smith-- 6.5 and 6.7

Marlon Brown-- 12.8 and 12.10

Bernard Pierce-- 10.6 and 11.10

Justin Tucker-- 18.8 and 19.11

Dallas Clark-- 13.5 and 10.7

Baltimore D-- undrafted and 18.2

Ed Dickson-- undrafted and 17.2

 

[ffrookie]

Looking back at draft 1 I probably should have taken Demaryius over Marshall, oh well..

 

[OG_GF]

By the time this is all over, many of you will be saying, "How did he get Trent Richardson, AJ Green ... AND Peyton Manning?"

QB: Peyton, Rivers

RB: T-Rich, A. Bradashaw, K. Moreno

WR: AJ Green, V-Jax, Decker, G. Tate, G. Jennings

TE: Gresham, Housler, Chandler

K: Gostowski

DEF: Denver

ETA: I drafted Andre Brown as my #3 RB before he broke his leg. Sucks but ... former #1 overall pick, in the highest scoring, most bad ### offense in the history of fantasy football can't be my RB #3 ... can it? Yep ... Moreno in the 15th round ... what a steal!

I can't remember ... think I got Peyton Manning in the 5th round. Wasn't planning on that ... but I just could not pass him up there.

That's right ... some of you know who I am. I am OG. I once took Peyton Manning 2nd overall in a TD heavy league. You wanna bet against Peyton Manning ... good luck to you sir.

 

[benbadman]

from the 12 spot

Newton(6) Flacco

Forte(1)Morris(2), Helu, Michael Bush, Stephan Taylor, Dunbar

Cruz(3)Amendola(4) Hilton(5) Blackmon, Vincent Brown, Kendall Wright, Sanu

Jared Cook(7)Jordan Cameron(8)

Houston

Walsh, Seabass

i dunno i think it's pretty solid, not a lot of rb depth but i do have both cuffs, and if cook or cameron don't work out hopefully Blackmon or Brown do at least they have upside. this team is chalk full of upside.

I'd LOVE to see this draftboard, HOW the F*** did Cook go in 7th and Cameron in 8th????

Cook has been going in rd 6/7 and Cameron in rd 7-8 in my FFPC and FPC drafts, it happens. Both are risky low end TE1.

Personally, I'm pretty sure Jared Cook will be a bust if you took him in round 6 this year. Give me Owen Daniels in round 7/8 or Brandon Myers in round 9/10 all day.

Solid team. I am assuming you left off some depth bench rb/wr players, don't have a full 20 listed there.

Bradshaw might be rough for your RB2 as he works back into game shape. Richardson & AJ Green is a combo possible in alot of the drafts i've been in, surprisingly people are passing on AJ green to mid/late round 2 due to his week 12 bye week. Can't blame people, i mean Dez/AJ/Demaryius/Marshall/Julio are all the same guy numbers-wise, so when AJ Green is off in week 1 of the playoffs, i totally get it.

Your TE could use some help, i'd suggest spending 30% to 45% of your waiver budget on the best TE who emerges early season... Julius Thomas, Dallas Clark, someone else...or throw like 10% to 15% at the Oakland, Miami TE. Tony Scheffler is out there in most leagues, as is Winslow if he's got anything left.

PS - Right on w/ Peyton Manning. I took him 1.01 in a 14-team TD only league, and already won my game w/ Manning + Julius. And yes the scoring is literally only TDs, the league was formed in the early 90s before the internet.

anyone else's league have a bunch of teams with empty rosters?
