Would you pick Cousins over Rivers or go 3 QBs? I tend to only hold one or two qbs in season, but have two kickers and that will drop to 1 so I could always pick Cousins then. Assuming RGIII stays healthy week 1, I don't see my other league mates investing a roster spot on cousins to screw me.

The only QB I'd handcuff is RGIII, unless you had a very strong backup, which I don't consider Rivers to be. And Cousins has proven to be pretty good, unlike most backup QBs. You've got a strong team so it isn't easy deciding who I would have avoided for Cousins, but I would have found someone. I'd also keep Rivers and go with 3 QBs, because you still get bye protection and some injury protection with him. Yes, Cousins would be available from the waiver wire, but if RGIII goes down everyone will be bidding on him, so you'd be screwed if you didn't get him and need to rely on Rivers.

Nice solid team,potential starters are all solid,nice options to choose from for flex plays,choosing a QB starter each week will be the biggest problem but with those 2 that's not a bad issue to deal with. What draft slot did you draft from?

Just got done from the 5th spot....very similar to gchuva's team above except that Mega-tron went 1.03 so I got Foster instead....I loved how the draft fell. If I can get top 10 production from my TE position I like my chances to make the playoffs assuming MJD, Morris and Foster stay relatively healthy all year long. Draftwizards rated my team #1 in the league for overall and #2 for starters
BTW someone drafted Jason Witten 1.08 and the same player drafted both Brady and Matt Ryan and also got Maclin (did not know he was out for year). Another guy drafted Pitta after getting Gronk at 2.12....he thought Pitta would only miss 6 weeks and was not out for the year
My team is as follows:
QB: RG3 (6); Eli Manning (11)
RB: Foster (1); Alfred Morris (2); MJD (3) Jonathan Stewart (10); Michael Bush (14); Roy Helu (16)
WR: Reggie Wayne (4); Cecil Shorts (5); Miles Austin (7); Lance Moore (9)
TE: Owen Daniels (8); Fleener (12); Heath Miller (13); J. Thomas/Denver (20)
D/ST: Bengals (15); Ravens (17); Chiefs (19)
K: Gostowski (18)
I expect to start:
RG3
Foster
Morris
MJD
Wayne
Shorts
Austin
Daniels
D/ST & K
Lance Moore and Jon Stewart should sub in and out for bye weeks/injury depth. Hoping Heath Miller comes back strong even if it is latter part of the year to help at TE position/depth for playoffs etc.
Thoughts???

Not bad. A high floor type team, but am not seeing a ton of explosive upside. To win the league IMO, you need Green to have a top 3 WR type season and one of your relatively weak #2 RBs to be very productive.

Footballguy
Kimura - one of the problems with AJ Green is he will have a bye in the 1st week of the playoffs (12).....tough to win with your best player out that week. This is why I am avoiding Green, Marshawn Lynch and all Bills players (which is easy to do ... lol)

If Ball becomes the man in Denver and reproduces what McGahee + Moreno did for an entire year he will do very well....If it is a RBBC cluster####, he will struggle given Matthews stinks and Ivory is not in a good situation in terms of playing on a team with a horrible O situation

Sweetie, you were extremely fortunate to have Foster drop to you with your 5th pick and again to have MJD make it almost halhway through the 3rd. But congrats on being alert enough to take advantage. From a WR perspective, you may be having to do a lot of guessing who to get in your lineup after Wayne. Those next 3 guys could be up and down, infuriating you along the way. The one big mistake was taking 3 defenses. You only have 4 WRs (should have 5 or 6) or even a 3rd QB, particularly since you have RGIII. Friendly tip of the day: Week 1, dump KC and pick up Cousins for $1, and go from there.
We took TRich 1 and AJ 2. I think you can have one key guy on bye. The team I think that made a mistake was the one that had Law Firm as RB1. Even if he makes the playoffs, his RBs are DOA. Roddy can be a WR1 for a week with Sanders or Tavon as WR2, plus anyone we pick up over the wire.

I will disagree on the guesswork.... If Austin and Shorts are not injured, they produce very consistently. Look at their PPG last year. I am very high on Shorts. Even Lance Moore is very solid. Sure he will have a clunker every now and then but so do all WRsJersey Jammer said:

As for the 3rd QB, I would never ever start Cousins over Eli. I will use the D-ST to play matchup. Chiefs play Jax week 1 ... Definitely going to start them
From the 8th spot
QB: RGIII and Rivers
RB: McCoy, Johnson, Gore, Law Firm, Jaquizz, Greene
WR: Brown, Decker, M Williams, Hartline, Jacoby Jones
TE: Witten, Cameron, Walker, Tamme:
DST: Bears
K: Gostkowski and Hauschka
My WRs aren't great, but every other spot is pretty good. I know I feel good about a team when I step up and draft DST and kicker before 18th round. Need Mike Williams not to get hurt. I have already in too many teams

I drafted this FPC team this weekend. This is my first time playing in this format (1.5 per rec for TE)
Drafted from the 10th slot:
QB- Kaepernick, Dalton
RB- Lynch, Morris, Ivory, J. Rodgers, Stacy, Leshoure
WR- White, VJax, D.Alexander, M.Austin, Hartline, Bess
TE- Housler, Ausberry, Walker
K- Akers
DEF- NE, SD
Starters would be:
QB- Kap
RB- Lynch
RB- Morris
WR-White
WR-DJax
FLEX-D.Alexander
FLEX-M.Austin
TE-Housler
K-Akers
Def-NE
I know my TEs are weak, I am taking a chance on Housler getting a lot more targets this year due to Palmer's tendency to check down and the offense system change that bodes well for TEs.
What are you thoughts?

Strong draft I think. I would have added a 4th TE rather than Bess and would have tried to handcuff one of your top 3 rbs, but I like the balance. I also think you may be cutting it too fine with Housler at TE1, but it may work out great.
Thanks. I was debating picking another TE instead of Bess. I had a problem with distinguishing value between the available TEs at the end of the draft. I think I will be working the free agent waivers for viable depth once the season starts.
Which in this format may be hard to do :( .
I was surprised with how many teams were taking multiple TEs in the middle rounds.

When I was finished with this draft I was pretty satisfied.Now after looking at the archives and figuring out my weekly starters scoring avg which is 144.78.My team is just average at best.I am going to draft two more teams.I am going to have to go back to the drawing board and come up with a whole different approach if I want to compete problem is not sure what that approach should be other than draft better.

A 144 average will get you to the top two of the league, just not too much beyond that. It wouldn't suprise me if your projected average was due to going QB early. Am assuming you picked him up in the 3rd.
Not seeing alot of comments about this..but it's a very real MINOR risk many owners are taking...
Only drafting 1 kicker with no free agent / waiver pickups until AFTER week 1 can be risky. Especially taking a guy like Randy Bullock who was injured last year and has never actually done the thing we think he will do yet in the NFL.
And, not to pour salt in your wounds about Pitta being out for the season, but with Gronkowski to only take a single backup TE was a big risk this early in the summer. So if Gronk is out week 1, you are down a starter.
Hopefully Bullock pulls through and plays week 1, otherwise you may be down 2 starters and playing 8 vs 10 in week 1.

It did happen last year in my league where one team was without a PK because his starter got hurt before week 1. I forget who it was.

Yea I did hadn't planed on that could have had Welker,Johnson or Cruz.Gonzales was also there which probably would have been the smart pick.Just couldn't resist taking Rodgers.Brees went in 4th round and I'm sure Rodgers would have too,but could have probably had Peyton or Stafford in the 5th if I had waited.I will wait on QB till the later rounds in my next two drafts thats for sure.

My concern is that your top 3 RBs don't catch passes. Either one of those three guys are nice to have on a team, but when you go with no pass catchers at all you become totally dependent on TDs, always a risky proposition because of such low floors on any given week.gchuva said:

High ceiling teams aren't always the ones that win it. In my experience, it's the low-floor teams that do better.
The team that won my league last year had Romo, A. Morris, R. Bush, R. Cobb, S. Johnson, B. Lloyd, H. Miller, J. Hanson, S. Seahawks. The final 3 were the only ones in the top 5 at their position. He had a low end QB 1, a RB1, a RB2, 3 WR2s, and 1 high-end TE1. His bench was modest as well - Mike Wallace being the only one worthy of mention. It's all about who's hot at the end of the season.

Yes I see type of comment a lot on Lynch and Morris. Last year Lynch was the #5 and Morris was the #7 overall RB in the FPC. Lynch can catch passes and should get between 25-30 catches, the other "ppr rbs" usually get 40-50 catches. The drop off isn't that much for Lynch especially since he has averaged at least 12 tds the past two seasons.
Morris wasn't really a part of the pass game last year, but he can catch. The Redskins have made an emphasis on getting Morris involved in the pass game this offseason, and it is an area he has stated should improve this year. That said I can easily see him catching 25 passes this year. I also think he scores 15+ Tds this year.
Add in their consistency and usage in the red zone, I will take them ahead of guys like Forte, Sproles, Bush, Johnson, Jackson or Gore in all of my drafts. Just my preference.
Ivory really hasn't been featured in an offense that gave him opportunity to catch a lot of passes, NO usually saved those plays for Thomas and Sproles. Not sure if we can assume he won't be involved in the pass game.

I think it has potential. Your banking on getting a healthy Gronk, and Your RB depth to produce. Not sure how long it will take for Bell to get the bulk of the carries as Dwyer may still start the season as the leader in a rbbc. Gordon will miss the first two games as well.Drafted from the 10th spot in the 7pm draft.

I think this is a solid club. WR issues are easiest to mask IMHO. I personally believe in Freeman as much as Wilson, so I think you have a very good club. I would take this as a draft result for my own team.
Out of the 9 hole:
Kaepernick, Cutler
McCoy, Lynch, Gore, ABrown, Ingram, Bolden
White, Nicks, JJones, Moore, Randle, Edelman
Daniels, Keller
Crosby, Gould
Seahawks, Ravens
Not sure if I should've taken Welker or Amendola instead of Gore and then Bradshaw instead of Jones. Any thoughts?

Just finished out of the 7th hole....surprisingly Ray Rice went top 4 and Calvin Johnson and Jimmy Graham fell to me.... I kept going back and forth and finally went with Mega-tron.

I just had a weird draft from the 10 spot. i definitely veered from my balanced gameplan and went RB heavy and QB earlier than I planned. plus my first 2 picks are both off in week 12, so I grabbed more RBs in rounds 3 & 4.
QB : Newton (5), Kaepernick (8), Schaub (17)
RB: McCoy (1), Lynch (2), MJD (3), Gore (4), R Williams (14), Mike Bush (16)
WR: Steve Smith (6), Jennings (7), Blackmon (10), D Moore (12), C Givens (13)
TE: Gresham (9), Keller (11) -- 8 TE went in the 11th round!.... Winslow JR (19) -- can cut Winslow fast if he doesn't make team, otherwise potential flex TE/starter
DEF: Bears (15)
K - Gostkowski (18), Bullock (20)
With McCoy & Lynch being off week 12, that could be painful in the playoffs, but I knew I could get solid RB3/RB4 guys at the end of rd3/4.. and i took MJD over Wilson/McFadden, and Gore was still there in rd4.
Clearly my WR are pretty weak, and TE is rather weak too, but if Blackmon plays like a WR2 after his suspension I have a shot at a studly team. Since its July, i grabbed QB Schaub as a 3rd option in the 17th round just in case injuries strike Newton or Kaepernick...but if it was closer to the season I would have just went w/ the 2 QBs.
Picks in the first half of the draft...
R1 - McCoy
R2 - Lynch
R3- Jones Drew
R4- Gore
R5 - Newton
R6 - Steve Smith
R7 - Jennings
R8 - Kaepernick (there were still 4 teams without a QB, and the Draft Dominator had him as QB5, so scooped up some value
R9 - Gresham (TE were going fast)

Can't go wrong with either Graham or Calvin.
I like Dalton more than most. They're really surrounding him with talent. I like Freeman too. I suspect either could end up starting most games for you.
RB's look good though I'm curious to see how Morris follows up last year. I think MJD's going to outperform his ADP. Williams too.
WR's look really strong.
Not a big fan of either of your TE's. No longer a believer in Gates as an every week starter and think Gresham will do more blocking while Eifert becomes the pass catcher.
Don't see the value in having more than 1 D.
Would have taken a 2nd K. Tucker has no competition, but it's early and they sometimes get hurt.
A contender, but to money, I think your TE's (a premium position in this format) must produce.

QB's are strong, but you can only play 1. If Cam gets hurt, you'll be glad you have Kaep. If he doesn't, you might wish you had gone after a better TE instead.
RB's look really strong. I think MJD's going to outperform his ADP. Good move protecting yourself in week 12. Also provides good Flex options.
I'm OK with your WR's. I also like Blackmon after he comes back
Not a big fan of Gresham as I think he will do more blocking while Eifert becomes the pass catcher. OTH, I like Keller as a sleeper. He's produced in the past when someone was throwing him the ball and I'm a fan of Tannehill.
Even with your (probable) weak TE position, I think you be a strong contender during the season. Week 12 may be a problem if your TE's are not producing and you lose key RB's due to byes. However, that's a long way away.
GL
We have very similar teams except I went with Roddy in rd3. Also dont believe in taking a QB early. Can't really understand taking 2 but I guess we'll see. I think Kaep and Newton will have similar numbers but you could've had a stronger WR or TE. I couldn't believe Lynch fell to me at 2.04 but I guess its not that rare. Do you think he gains or loses value with the Harvin injury?

Footballguy
I totally understand the value of waiting on QB, but part of me feels it may be a bit extreme this year.
When you have to submit a lineup every week like in FPC, if you wait until Round 7 or 8 and let the draft "pick your QB for you" that is the sweet spot as far as value goes. You can get Griffin/Kapernick/Luck/Romo/Wilson as the 10th to 12th team drafting your starter and have a solid lineup around him.ImTheScientist said:
Now in best ball / draftmaster formats, I'm a huge fan of waiting even longer and taking 3 "qb2" types, as their combined production will give you top10 #s
Your RB depth is great! I could see you getting 60+ points a week from starting McCoy, Lynch, MJD and Gore.benbadman said:
I think you should have skipped on Kaep since you had Newton already, and grabbed another top 30ish WR to help with your WR depth. As far as TEs go, after the top 5 there really is much difference at the position, I think youll get average production from Gresham and Keller.
I think it is a solid team, but WR depth could have been better.

TE - Gates (8), Mercedes Lewis (11), Heath Miller (14)
K - Tucker (18)
Def - Steelers (16), Packers (19)
I officially drafted the all injury team. If they stay healthy I'll be good to go(not likely). Think any of these TE's will pan out?

With Pitta and Hernandez gone and Gronk hurt, would it be silly to consider Graham at the 1.03? I'd really like to own him, but I feel like there's no way I can take him over Martin, Charles, etc. many of the next batch of TE's go way too early imo so I feel like its either Graham or pound TEs in the 10-12 range.

Just finished one from the 5th spot....Graham went with 3rd pick so I got a RB. Am glad I did not have to choose between Mega-tron or Jimmy Graham.
