Yea you shouldn't be worried, that's an easy playoff team in my eyes at least.

For not drafting a WR until the 5th, you pretty much nailed those WR picks. Decker I still say is a bargain in rd 7+

I'd grab Bryce Brown if he's even out there, wouldn't be a bad move owning Spiller to have 2/3 of that backfield.

Brown was drafted but thanks for the insight

Its amazing how much everyone from the redskins passing game is dropping just because of the preseason. I got Jordan Reed at 6.10 and DJax at 7.3 in my last draft and also saw DJax go at 6.11 in another, before the last game both guys were usually good as gone by the end of round 5.

 

[Longtucky Lemmings]

Would love to get some thoughts on this one. Second to last draft of the year for me from the 12 spot. First time drafting from the back end.

QB - RGIII

RB - Gerhart, Joique, SJax, Hyde, Cunningham, Ivory

WR - Julio, Torrey, Benjamin, Terrance Williams, Hunter, Britt, James Jones, Quick

TE - Gronk, Eifert, Escobar

K - Freese

Def - GB

Oh boy....Yea, not good.

Frankly, I know u draft a bunch of teams so u wont be to hurt by the following statement...This might be the worst team posted on this thread.

You're not strong anywhere outside of a starting TE. You went Gerhart/Joique at the 3/4 elbow ?? Or Torrey??? How could those be the best guys available at that spot.....??

Yeah this is a huge overreaction just like every preseason every year. I understand Griffin has not looked good, but eventually everyone on this offense is going to get on the same page and their schedule is very favorable.

Last year Foles led the league in yards per completion and Y/Att at 9.12 in no small part due to DJax, who led the league in long TDs. But it would not surprise me to see Foles Y/Att drop by over a full yard this season, while Griffin returns to his 2012 avg. DJax is really going to help Griffin. I still can't believe that Philly let him walk.

 

[Tchula]

QB: Colin Kaepernick, Ben Roethlisberger
RB: Adrian Peterson, LeVeon Bell, Joique Bell, DeAngelo Williams, Dexter McCluster, Chris Polk
WR: Andre Johnson, DeSean Jackson, Michael Crabtree, Torrey Smith, Greg Jennings, Jeremy Kerley
TE: Delanie Walker, Travis Kelce, Dwayne Allen
PK: Dan Bailey
TD: Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens

L Bell was an accidental autopick, but I can live with it I guess. Not happy with my wr1 or wr2, but at least I have depth.

I wasn't going to post my team but rip away.. Picked from #2.

QB - Wilson (12), McCown (14)

RB - Charles (1), F Jackson (7), Ingram (8), Jeremy Hill (11), Knile Davis (15), Bryce Brown (16)

WR - Cobb (2), C. Patterson (4), Harvin (5), Colston (6), K Benjamin (9), Britt (10), John Brown (17)

TE - Cameron (3), Seferian-Jenkins (13), Brandon Bostick (19)

K - Mason Crosby (18)

Def - Giants (20) - homer pick but also think they'll surprise

Missed out on a couple players I was targeting (specifically some QB's) by a couple picks. TE depth is very questionable so I need Cameron to stay healthy. Stayed with the a BPA strategy so I also have a few team mates I could be forced to start together.

Overall it will be competetive.. Your RB core as a whole is a little weak.. You need Ingram or Hill to be good there I think and both look the part right now.... WR's are great and Cameron is obviously good... Don't like your back up TE's much...

Well nice team and you should do well.. Good Luck

Very solid squad here. Best ive seen? no. But its good. RB's are super deep, great TE's, solid QB's. The only blah part of this team is your WR core. 1st, I hate the week 12 bye so having your #1 WR unavailable in the 1st rd of playoffs is gross. Hilton is feast or famine and Welker is still a question mark to me. He's 1 more concussion away ending his season/career. The backend of those WR's are just roster fillers really. You might struggle to start 3 WR's at some point but you also have 1 flex already locked up, so that's plus. Overall, its quality for sure. A couple IF's in that WR core that bring it down a litte...

Way too many Gildz.... I will have 48 this year..... That is 30 over what I had inticpated doing but drafts are coming out so good I decided to keep rolling along... Will be interesting to see how it turns out...

Got Sankey at 8.10 and almost passed there becuase Decker was still on the board... There wasn't much left for RBs though and the guy in the 1 hole already had 4 WRs in the first 7 rounds so took a chance he wouldn't take Decker.. He did unfortunately though, would of been nice to grab both of them but T. Williams in round 9 isn't bad either...

Wow Sankey at 8.10? I want to bang my head against the wall taking this guy where I did in 3 leagues . I do think he's an RB2 at some point, when that time comes is anyones guess. Hard to pass on him there but also hard to pass on Decker in the 8th, I cant believe he's still going that late. Geno has actually looked really good this preseason to boot.

48 teams, holy moses. I'm assuming you have a partner or 2...or 3 to help you manage these squads.

 

[champ23]

Here's my first drat of the year from the 11th spot. WR's are a definite weakness

QB: Rodgers, Manziel

RB: Murray, Stacy, Spiller, Miller, Jacquizz, Hillman

WR:A. Brown, Watkins, Shorts, Streater, M. Williams, Britt, Hartline

TE: Reed, Gates, Ebron

Def: Cin

K: Novak

As well, I overlooked gates bye week when I drafted...so hopefully Ebron is productive by week 10 or I will need some help. They will still give me another flex option if needed. Thoughts?

I don't have any.... All on me, plus I have all my other sites and leagues too... It will be a very busy year for me... I am very organized though and have everything mapped out on how I want to do it... Still might be a little too much though...

I knew going into the draft from spot 7 I was likely looking at Brown, Gronk, or Lynch. Decided to go Brown despite the bye week....figured I have 11 weeks to figure that out, and you have to make it to the dance to have a chance anyways. All three of those players were left. The fact that a TE didn't get picked before my pick made me feel like Cameron would slip in the 3rd to me. I think Boldin is underrated in these drafts, probably because he's old and not as sexy as some of the new toys with tons of upside. Surprised that Spiller slipped to the 4th round to me, I know some were burned by him last year but as an RB2 Im fine with him. Took Witten in the 5th and the next 4 teams went TE which made me smile.

So I'm assuming Jeffery/Nelson were off the boards at that 2nd pick? Or did u still take Brown over them...? I think the week 12 bye has to put those other 2 in front of him and possibly even Cobb.

I love Spiller in rd 4. If healthy, his floor is RB2 and we saw what his ceiling was in 2012. Think people forget how good he was, and he didn't need 20+ touches/game to be a beast either. I think Spiller will be the biggest steal in fantasy this year.

I've seen him go in rd 4 in a few drafts now along with some other key guys going later then they should.... It's tempting me to draft another team.

Jeffery, Nelson, and Cobb was still there. Im not sure how much Cobb/Nelson will affect eachother's target numbers. Brown finished #2 last year, Nelson #13, Jeffery #8. I would go Nelson after Brown, but I think Brown is being a bit undervalued. Jeffery w/ Culter is a question mark to me, while I think he has a shot at top 10.....I see him more in the 10-15 range. I also mentally have a hard time going with a teams number 2 option as my number 1 that early. They are all really close to me and if Brown didn't have that week 12 bye he wouldn't be close at all to them....that makes Brown the pick for me.....I understand those that pass though.

Thanks for the opinion. If my only real issues are my RB core being a little weak and my backup TE's I should be in pretty good shape.

Hey just being honest that's all. Why were u panicky? Because u were drafting back to back?

I appreciate the honesty - I really do look forward to different people's opinions of my teams as it gives me more to think about for my next draft. I think it's good to have one's opinions questioned....either provides another perspective or cements one's own feelings.

I try to draft in such a way that I'm totally prepared for every pick as it comes up. I tend to have a handful (4-8) players queued up and ready to go several picks before mine and various scenarios accounted for so, when my pick comes in that round, I draft quickly. Part of this is so I am as prepared as possible, part of this is because I get really distracted when the drafts drag on, part of it is because I do believe there is a little psychological effect on the next couple people picking if you pick IMMEDIATELY.

As I said, this was my first draft this year from the back end....I was well prepared for my 1/2 picks. I was going to grab Montee Ball if he fell (he went #10) and Julio Jones (who I have rated as WR3 this year). If Ball didn't fall then I was prepared to go Gronk/Jones.

As the end of Round 2 came I started developing my plan for my 3/4 elbow and queuing up players. I'd place a player in the queue and boom, he'd be picked. Doug Martin, 3.1.....Jordan Cameron, 3.2.....Andre Johnson, 3.3.....Keenan Allen, 3.7....then I notice Alshon Jeffrey hasn't been picked! Boom, he goes 3.9. Now I'm looking at my rankings and I started getting all freaked out about having to draft Pierre Thomas as my RB 1 in round 5....and I panicked. So Le'Veon Bell and Zac Stacy go 3.10 and 3.11 and I figured Joique and Gerhart are definitely not power house RB1s but at least they have PPR upside and Gerhart has no competition for touches....so I drafted them.

Basically, I didn't feel good about those picks and spent the rest of the draft trying to play catch up.

Oh well....we'll see how it all plays out and I'll likely be aggressive on the waiver wire

[SIZE=medium]8-27[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]7 spot[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]QB - Romo (10) RG3 (11), Geno (19)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]RB – Bernard (2), Martin (3), T-Rich (8), Ingram (9), Grimes (18)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]WR – Dez (1), Cruz (4), Crabtree (5), Wayne (7), Jennings (13), Mathews (14), Thompkins (20)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]TE – Ertz (6), Eifert (12), Fleener (15)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]K – Baily (17)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]D- NE (16)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Overall I like my team to be competitive. Felt like I was lucky to get some of the guys I got like Martin and even T-rich in the 8th[/SIZE]. Even though I’m not optimistic of a turnaround he should get the volume as long as he is not terrible. Even then, I like Ingram as a sleeper this year.

[SIZE=medium] I wanted more pop at TE and zigged when I should have zagged in the 5th[/SIZE]. I came in wanting to try and team up Rudolph and Ertz. I am also high on Crabtree bouncing back this year being healthy and playing with a chip from the way last year ended. I knew the TE combo would be shot if I took Crabtree but took him anyways. Was lucky to even get Ertz on the way back in the 6[SIZE=small]th[/SIZE] which was maybe a little early.

[SIZE=medium]I really wanted to stay away from Romo because of his back and was targeting Wilson. With the way the draft fell I thought I could take Romo and then get Wilson in the 11th[/SIZE]. He went one pick in front of me. Had to settle for RG3. Cam was still on the board. Guess I really don’t like him this year.

[SIZE=medium]I passed on Lacy in the first and took Dez. WR run and Lacy was the only other RB taken in the first. Taken at 10. Jeffrey went at 2.1. [/SIZE]

Would love to get some thoughts on this one. Second to last draft of the year for me from the 12 spot. First time drafting from the back end.

QB - RGIII

RB - Gerhart, Joique, SJax, Hyde, Cunningham, Ivory

WR - Julio, Torrey, Benjamin, Terrance Williams, Hunter, Britt, James Jones, Quick

TE - Gronk, Eifert, Escobar

K - Freese

Def - GB

Oh boy....Yea, not good.

Frankly, I know u draft a bunch of teams so u wont be to hurt by the following statement...This might be the worst team posted on this thread.

You're not strong anywhere outside of a starting TE. You went Gerhart/Joique at the 3/4 elbow ?? Or Torrey??? How could those be the best guys available at that spot.....??

Hahaha - no worries. Doesn't hurt my feelings at all.

This is the first time in a while I actually got panicky during a draft. Oh well.....as much as I hate this team and given your opinion of it I'm now convinced it's championship quality

Hey just being honest that's all. Why were u panicky? Because u were drafting back to back?

As the end of Round 2 came I started developing my plan for my 3/4 elbow and queuing up players. I'd place a player in the queue and boom, he'd be picked. Doug Martin, 3.1.....Jordan Cameron, 3.2.....Andre Johnson, 3.3.....Keenan Allen, 3.7....then I notice Alshon Jeffrey hasn't been picked! Boom, he goes 3.9.

Wow, haven't seen him go close to 3.9 in any of my drafts

 

[Da Gildz]

From the 7 hole....best team I have seen...crown me.

QB: Wilson, Newton

RB: Lacy, Spiller, Miller, Hill, Michael, Carey, Starks

WR: Antonio Brown, TY Hilton, Welker, Boldin, James Jones, Cotchery

TE: Cameron, Witten, Cook

K:Tucker

D/ST: STL

Very solid squad here. Best ive seen? no. But its good. RB's are super deep, great TE's, solid QB's. The only blah part of this team is your WR core. 1st, I hate the week 12 bye so having your #1 WR unavailable in the 1st rd of playoffs is gross. Hilton is feast or famine and Welker is still a question mark to me. He's 1 more concussion away ending his season/career. The backend of those WR's are just roster fillers really. You might struggle to start 3 WR's at some point but you also have 1 flex already locked up, so that's plus. Overall, its quality for sure. A couple IF's in that WR core that bring it down a litte...

I knew going into the draft from spot 7 I was likely looking at Brown, Gronk, or Lynch. Decided to go Brown despite the bye week....figured I have 11 weeks to figure that out, and you have to make it to the dance to have a chance anyways. All three of those players were left. The fact that a TE didn't get picked before my pick made me feel like Cameron would slip in the 3rd to me. I think Boldin is underrated in these drafts, probably because he's old and not as sexy as some of the new toys with tons of upside. Surprised that Spiller slipped to the 4th round to me, I know some were burned by him last year but as an RB2 Im fine with him. Took Witten in the 5th and the next 4 teams went TE which made me smile.

So I'm assuming Jeffery/Nelson were off the boards at that 2nd pick? Or did u still take Brown over them...? I think the week 12 bye has to put those other 2 in front of him and possibly even Cobb.

I love Spiller in rd 4. If healthy, his floor is RB2 and we saw what his ceiling was in 2012. Think people forget how good he was, and he didn't need 20+ touches/game to be a beast either. I think Spiller will be the biggest steal in fantasy this year.

I've seen him go in rd 4 in a few drafts now along with some other key guys going later then they should.... It's tempting me to draft another team.

Jeffery, Nelson, and Cobb was still there. Im not sure how much Cobb/Nelson will affect eachother's target numbers. Brown finished #2 last year, Nelson #13, Jeffery #8. I would go Nelson after Brown, but I think Brown is being a bit undervalued. Jeffery w/ Culter is a question mark to me, while I think he has a shot at top 10.....I see him more in the 10-15 range. I also mentally have a hard time going with a teams number 2 option as my number 1 that early. They are all really close to me and if Brown didn't have that week 12 bye he wouldn't be close at all to them....that makes Brown the pick for me.....I understand those that pass though.

That's fair, matter of preference I guess. I think Jordy approaches 100 rec's this yr. With Rodgers last year , he was on pace for 87/1,372/12. I think those #'s are well within reach this year if not better. So to me, even if Brown is better, that gap is so marginal, the risk of not having my #1 WR in the 1st rd isn't worth the reward. I know u have to get there, but im going into every season thinking im getting there. ha.

If I told you Brown would score 20 pts more then Jordy over the course of the season, which is feasible, assuming he even does outscore him, would u still take Brown over him??

No, because of the bye week being where it was. Then again I don't think Nelson would be within 20 points of Brown, so I draft Brown. Brown outscored Nelson by 60 points last year. I think Nelson at the most will hit his numbers from last year. I can see him finishing WR 8 - 12.

I understand your train of thought, I just don't agree with your Nelson projection. Im also not concerned about a week 12 bye for one player, Im more concerned about my players staying healthy and working the waiver wire.

Solid. I am lower on a couple guys, but love the roster construction from the 9 spot. Griffin in particular is the one that seems a little early.

 

[ParkwayWoof]

Only fair I post mine as well I suppose so you guys can tell me where I went wrong too....

QB Romo, Cam

RB Charles, Gerhart, Tate, Sankey, Dunbar, D. Archer

WR A Brown, E. Sanders, B. Cooks, T. Williams, K. Britt, A. Dobson, A. Hurns

TE J. Thomas, E. Ebron, J. Amaro

Walsh/NE D

AB early 3rd?? Are people THAT scared off by him being off week 12??

I think they are but I will take him all day in round 3... That is crazy value IMO....

Absolutely, some people seem too worried with winning just their league as opposed to the big picture

Sproles went the pick before me.

Freeman went right after me then a few picks later Ridley, Williams, Miller and Hyde.

I own Trent in dynasty and have been a supporter but he was not a guy I had on my radar coming into the draft. Just felt like in the 8th it was time to gamble considering what else was out there and his position as RB 3/Flex. RB 32 off the board. I was targeting MJD around that time but felt like the value was at WR in the 7th.

Not bad but I think you got a gift with your first 3 picks and you just didn't seem to draft the monster I would of expected with that start...

You should do pretty well though...

my last team, I went TE-TE. I wanted at least 1 share of Graham this year and couldn't pass on Gronk at 2.11. probably just threw this $350 away, but it was fun drafting this team!

Just need the RBs to hold up... I would of drafted another RB instead of Luck and taking one of the later guys... Think that would of improved your depth some..

Could be a fun team to watch though having those two TEs
