FBG 2014 "How did I do" Thread (1 Viewer)

Anyone had a good draft from the 11 spot as of yet? Seems to be a difficult spot.

My latest draft from the 11:

QB: Brady, Palmer

RB: Murray, Stacy, Miller (I think Miller runs away with the job in MIA with the new offense), Pierce (very underrated in Kubiak's system which is a better fit for him then Rice who is drafted 5 rounds earlier), Starks, Cunningham

WR: Andre Johnson, Tate, Randle, Boykin, Jennings, Wilson

TE: Julius Thomas, Pitta, Graham

K: dawson

D: bills
It's very doable, just make sure to not go TE-less through first 8 rounds...

 
From the 6 hole, not real crazy about this team to be honest.............

QB-Stafford, Wilson R.

RB-Gore, Bell J., Brown A., Brown B., Michael C., Polk C., Simms C.

WR-Johnson Cal., Jeffrey A., Patterson C., Brown M., Hawkins A., Holmes A.

TE-Thomas J., Eifert, Escobar G.

K-Bailey

D-Seattle

Interesting team here. That backfield is like the "All-Century Handcuff" group. Also interesting that you didnt get the 1 you really could have used (Hyde). You get solid play from 2 of those RB's. this team is pretty dam potent.

 
From 7, I'm pretty happy with it. The three defenses were purely to troll the people waiting until the end and mess with the streamers. Someone else had already taken three (before he took his first tight end!), so I figured I would corner the market on mediocrity.

QB - Stafford, Roethlisberger

RB - Lacy, Gio Bernard, Woodhead, McFadden, Hill, Dunbar

WR - V Jax, Keenan Allen, Maclin, Jennings, Douglas

TE - Pitta, Walker, Miller

K - Prater

DST - KC, Buffalo, NYG

 
Solid team. You may find yourself benching Morris in favour of a receiver as a flex with the ppr but he is great rb depth on bye weeks and the long injury filed season

QB - Colin Kaepernick (9)

QB - Jay Cutler (11)

RB - Matt Forte (1)

RB - Shane Vereen (3)

RB - Alfred Morris (4)

RB - Khiry Robinson (10)

RB - C.J. Anderson (12)

RB - Roy Helu (13)

RB - James White (16)

WR - Randall Cobb (2)

WR - Michael Floyd (5)

WR - Golden Tate (8) OR Julien Edelman (6)

WR - Andrew Hawkins (14)

TE - Martellus Bennett (7)

TE - Gavin Escobar (17)

TE - Joseph Fauria (19)

TE - Brandon Bostic (20)

K - Justin Tucker (18)

DEF - Rams Defense (15)

Thoughts/Opinions?
Hopefully that is a good problem. I'll be in FBG Heaven if one of those high upside RB and Tight Ends hit....I'll literally have a problem who to start....and that is not including my Free Agent Money !!!.

 
QB - Stafford

RB - Vereen

RB - Stacy

WR - Julio

WR - K. Wright

TE - Gronk

RB - T. West, Ingram, Sims

WR - Wheaton, J. Matthews, Beckham Jr

TE - D. Allen, Kelce

Ummmm, really?? Those qbs????
Yea I learned last year after Rodgers went down to have more than Flacco as a back up.Plus I may have screwed up some plans of the drafting QB late crowd by picking them a little early.
 
Completed two of my three drafts the last few nights. Feel okay but not great about both teams, but still early days.

From the 8 spot:

QB: M. Stafford (7), R. Tannehill (19)

RB: E. Lacy (1), S. Vereen (3), R. Bush (4), D. McFadden (11), T. Mason (13), J. Starks (15)

WR: J. Nelson (2), D. Jackson (5), R. Randle (9), C. Shorts (10), D. Baldwin (14), J. Cotchery (18)

TE: D. Pitta (6), Z. Ertz (8), G. Graham (12)

Def: SF (16), ARI (17)

K: M. Crosby (20)

I really like Jordy this year but I felt like I could have selected a comparable WR that wasn't on the same team...felt weird to draft players form the same team in the first two rounds. I don't usually draft 3 RBs in the first 4 rounds but Bush fell and thought he was good value there. Overall, feel pretty good here but I don't have an exceptional TE (although I think it has good depth) and my team isn't as deep at WR as I would like. And if Stafford goes down, not very comfortable with Tannehill as my backup...just waited too long to pick one.

From the 10 spot:

QB: C. Kaepernick (10), P. Rivers (14)

RB: D. Murray (2), S. Vereen (4), F. Gore (7), S. Ridley (9), C. Hyde (12), T. Mason (13)

WR: D. Thomas (1), V. Jackson (4), T.Y. Hilton (5), G. Jennings (11), A. Hawkins (15), J. Cotchery (18)

TE: D. Pitta (6), C. Clay (8), T. Wright (19), J. Finley (20)

Def: NE (16)

K: S. Hauschka (17)

QBs are so/so, but I waited on them purposefully...both the guys in the 11/12 spot actually took two QBs before my round ten pick, which I was very surprised at considering how deep they are this year (the guy in the 12 spot took Rodger at the 3/4 turn and then Luck at the 7/8 turn which I would never do in a no trade league). I like my starting RBs - I'm higher than some on this board on Vereen, he was the 10th highest RB in PPG for this scoring last year and I think that's his potential as long as he stays helathy. I was able to handcuff Gore in case Father time catches up with him and also handcuff Vereen and if Ridley actually holds onto the ball, he could be a very good value there even with Vereen in the mix. Like my starting WRs but not as deep as I would like (again) and not that deep at TE, two weaknesses from my perspective. I also have quite a few players on both teams which I don't necessariy like but picking from a similar spot was tough.

Will probably wait until some of the last drafts for my third team, will see how some of the position battles pan out and what injuries hit.

DThomas at 10?? That's crazy

 
IIRC, he went 1.12 in the other draft. I know, pretty crazy. In the one I got D. Thomas, Bernard went at 1.07 which allowed Thomas to fall.

 
From 10:

QB: Brady, Tannehill

RB: Gio Bernard, Shane Vereen, Toby Gerhart, Jeremy Hill, Tre Mason, Jordan Todman

WR: Alshon Jeffery, Michael Floyd, Michael Crabtree, Golden Tate, Nicks, Woods, Beckham Jr

TE: Kyle Rudolph, Graham, Niklas

K: Forbath

D: Cheifs

 
From 3...Not a fan of teammates so early but I felt fortunate for even one big wr to come back to me

QB Cutler/Palmer

RB Mccoy/PT/Rice/Jhill/DBrown/Riddick/Todman

WR Jordy/Cobb/Floyd/Wheaton/Hawkins/Lee/Kerley

TE Bennet/HMiller

D Rams

K Tucker

 
Also from 3. I think I messed up after the 6th round. Shoulda grabbed Bernard Pierce when I had the chance. Not expecting much out of Ebron. I jumped the gun on Cooks. Jordan Cameron was drafted in the 2nd. First D/ST went in the 8th. Foster lasted until 3.5. Most QBs went in the 8th and 9th.

QB: P Manning (3), Roethlisberger (15)

RB: Forte (1), Ellington (2), Rice (6), A Williams (9), S Taylor (14), M Tolbert (19)

WR: A. Johnson (4), Cooks (7), R Randle (8), Wheaton (10), Gordon (12), D Baldwin (17), A Roberts (18), D Moncrief (20)

TE: Reed (5), Ebron (11)

D: Denver (13)

K: Seattle (16)

Hmm best team you drafted?? I don't see it. Love Brees and that RB depth but after that, not too exciting. AJ/Edelman/Decker are all lowend 1, 2 and 3's.. TE's are weak as well. I think it's a pretty average team overall.

Pretty solid squad here. I like that WR core a lot, AP and the Balt backfield locked up is very serviceable. Also thinking 1 of those young TE's step up this yr. I would reverse your QB listing also, not a fan of Cam's this year....at all.

I like this squad even better. WR core is beastly. The RB depth is concerning and you will have to add some talent thru the waiver, but even so, there is a lot to like here. If T-Rich bounces back, this becomes a really dangerous squad. As I stated before, Cam is better served as your backup.

Wow, I'd be smiling also, what a squad you drafted u here. This might be the best team I've seen posted thus far. Firepower everywhere. Julio falling to 2.5 really made this something special.

Well done.

I have noticed you tend to prefer teams that load up on WRs.......... Those RBs are weak and the TE's just average.

Well in a 2-flex format, im going to favor a WR over a RB, most times at least. And why are those rb's weak? Bush/Vereen could catch 120+ balls between them. That's not a far fetched # really. He's got about 4 flex possibilities any given week also. CJ I don't love but as a 3rd RB, I think that's exactly where I'd want him.

TE's I do agree are average but he's got a viable starter every week for sure. I also like Allen to do some nice things.

I'm a fan, and stand by my evaluation.

Love the WR's and QB is solid. Bennett/Gates should be fine at TE (I think Gates is highly underrated at his ADP right now). Not a fan at all of the RB's but with such strength at other positions you should be a contender.

 
My latest draft --

QB: Rodgers, Palmer

RB: Charles, Foster, Pierce, TRich, Ivory, Starks, Blount

WR: Fitzgerald, Jeffery, Bowe, Benjamin, Wheaton, Hawkins

TE: Clay, Walker, Wright

K: Zuerlein

D: Bengals

Why are you guys down on those backs?? Bush put up 240+ pts in PPR last year, he had to be a top-12 RB. And this was WITH Joique being a big time factor also. Even if Bush's #'s took a hit, he'd be a high-end RB2 at worst IMO.

And Vereen caught 47 balls in 8 games last year. Both guys are top 18 backs in PPR, not like he' starting T-Rich/MJD here. Add in all that other juice, that's a top echelon team.

And Chris J while im not a fan of, he's at worst a flex play. I think if people don't see a top 10 rb on the team, they perceive it to be a weak backfield...

THAT is the problem - there is not a lot of "juice" there outside the WR group and that has some question marks - When was the last time Harvin played a whole season? How many balls will an older Reggie Wayne get with so many other weapons in Indy?

There is nothing special at TE or QB so how are the RB not a big question?

 
You cant win this thing with ho-hum players. Maybe your own individual league u can, but everyone in this has visions on the big prize.

Im looking at the upside. While u view Harvin as a health risk, im looking at the possibility of him BEING HEALTHY. As his WR3? Come on now. He has Dez/Julio who could be #1 and 2 overall, that would surprise no one.

Then nothing special at QB? RG3 probably has the biggest upside of any QB in fantasy not named Peyton/Brees/Rodgers. I also don't think his TE's are weak. I see 3 TE's who could be every week starters...

But perhaps I should have edited my post and said this team has the best 'Potential' of any team ive seen posted.

Wow,thanks for all the comments,nice to see both sides of an argument. I drafted this somewhat on LAST years numbers and on what I think the players may do THIS year,at least with most of them. At the 8 spot the top RB's were gone,CJ was gone and Graham was gone,so I decided to go WR at 1 and 2,when Julio fell to me at 2.5 I was thrilled as I think he's going to be a top 3 fantasy WR this year. They used to say about Cris Carter "all he does is catch touchdowns". I paraphrase that with Bush,every year he gets dissed and every year "all he does is out up nice fantasy numbers". In this formay he was #7 last year,same with CJ,yes he's inconsistent,but at the end of the year he was #9 in this format. I had Vereen last year,the few games he was healthy he was a steady point producer. The TE's aren't great but considering where I drafted them anyone or more of them have top 10 potential,I really like Allen to be a surprise this year,and as my #3 TE to start the year drafting him VERY late,I like him even more. IF RG III is healthy,with Garcon,Jackson and Reed I think he could be a top 5 QB. Wilson was #10 last season without Harvin. Just thought I'd put my thought process out there on this one,thanks for the comments,appreciate it.

Wow, I'd be smiling also, what a squad you drafted u here. This might be the best team I've seen posted thus far. Firepower everywhere. Julio falling to 2.5 really made this something special.

Well done.
I have noticed you tend to prefer teams that load up on WRs.......... Those RBs are weak and the TE's just average.
Well in a 2-flex format, im going to favor a WR over a RB, most times at least. And why are those rb's weak? Bush/Vereen could catch 120+ balls between them. That's not a far fetched # really. He's got about 4 flex possibilities any given week also. CJ I don't love but as a 3rd RB, I think that's exactly where I'd want him.

TE's I do agree are average but he's got a viable starter every week for sure. I also like Allen to do some nice things.

I'm a fan, and stand by my evaluation.
Yes this is a very strong team. I love the Bush/Vereen combo in this format. Typically you have to sacrifice a bit at one position in this contest unless you get really lucky in a draft where a ton of value slips. So unless you can grab a top 5 TE without overpaying, it makes sense to wait. At least 6 other teams may be weak at TE too. Witten and VD seem like the only top TE that are fairly priced in the drafts I have seen.

RB- Reggie Bush, Bishop Sankey, Lamaar Miller, Jeremy Hill, Christine Michael, Charles Sims, Jonathan Grimes

WR- Demaryius Thomas, Alshon Jefferey, Keenan Allen, Josh Gordon, Hakeem Nicks, Brian Hartline

Guess this will be my last team or my wife is going to make me sleep outside in the doghouse.Pretty happy with this team I think its probably my best.From the 2 spot.

Brees,Dalton

McCoy,Lynch,C.Johnson,Tate,J.Rodgers,Ivory,Blount

A.Johnson,Edelman,Decker,Hartline,Cooper,Boldin

Gates,Walker

Bailey,Crosby

Bears.

So what do you guys think?
Hmm best team you drafted?? I don't see it. Love Brees and that RB depth but after that, not too exciting. AJ/Edelman/Decker are all lowend 1, 2 and 3's.. TE's are weak as well. I think it's a pretty average team overall.
Ouch way to rain on my parade.Well here's wishing everyone good luck this year should be fun.
If it makes you feel better, I think his opinion is terrible. You sure the cat isn't in your league?? :shrug:

Great team. One of the better ones I've seen. You got an elite QB1, an elite RB1 + solid another RB1, you locked up Jets situation at RB3, got the Browns current starting RB in Tate (as unexciting as he is) at RB4, a WR1 in Johnson, Edelman who just finished as a high WR2, and a group of backup WR's with any of whom that have and even could wind up finishing as a WR2 this season and 2 TE's that finished as TE1's last year. I'd say your only 'weakness' could be at TE (if Green makes a leap at Gates's expense and/or Delanie just doesn't mesh with Locker)

Wow, I've got some real estate to sell you haha. BTW, its 2014 now, think you're looking at last years #'s and just mirroring them to this year? Odd.

Also, if Gronk is healthy and playing, Edelman may not even be WR3 worthy, go check his #'s with Gronk in the lineup and come back to me.

And his only weakness 'could' be at TE? What the..... On what planet does anyone want Gates as their TE1...Is he even being taken in the top 15 in ADP for TE's?

I actually agree with you as well. I like rustycolts team.

I don't understand your logic here. You tell him its now 2014 and not to look at last years #'s then in the next line you say look at gronks #'s when healthy and check Edelmans stats. :shrug:

Gates finished top 10 last year. It could be argued he is great value and slipping because people are overvaluing the potential of Green when projecting them both for this year. ADP is just that...ADP.

 
That's because Edelman's production is pretty much solely dependent on Gronk, pretty easy to see that actually. There is zero chance he comes close to last yr's production if Gronk is playing. Again, that's fairly obvious I think.

Not sure what you 2 see that you're that excited for that team, outside of McCoy/Brees/Lynch...even Lynch you cant be that confident in after this offseason. (off the field issues/Michael taking some carries away/ # of carries, age, etc etc)

Then, I just don't see AJ/Edelman/Decker and then Gates/Delanie as anything more then average...if that even.

Now I don't think this is a bad team either, just don't see it being really good. We can agree to disagree.

Welker and Gronk both co-existed for years. Why can't Edelman and Gronk?

For years? How many full seasons did the 2 of them play together, 1 ?

Gronk if back should lead the team in targets, and take away a ton of Edelmans. who was even healthy last year outside of Edelman for Brady to go to?

Also, Amendola should be healthy, addition of Lafell and then Gronk? If Edelman reaches 80+ rec's this yr, i'll be surprised.

3 years, and in 2011 Welker had 122 reception and Gronk had 90.

You think Gronk "should" be back and lead the team in targets and also think Amedola should be healthy? When was the last time both those guys played 16 games? Seems to me you are putting a lot of eggs in the Gronk basket. ;)

Im not an Edelman guy, gronk at the right price....I just feel your argument is a bit off/lacks factual support.

I'm with Scientist on this one. The odds of both Gronk and Amendola both playing a full healthy season this year are about as good as David Wilson or Jahvid Best making a comeback.

Well they didn't play 3 full seasons together, only 1.

And you're also assuming he's Wes Welker or he can produce those #'s year in , year out...he's not Welker. They may look similar but Welker is probably the best slot man in the history of football. Edelman had an absurd 151 targets last year, mostly due to lack of any other weapons, Brady just force-fed him the ball. And in addition to all those other guys, Vereen was out for 1/2 the year to boot, so u now have (at the moment): Gronk/Amendola/Lafell/Dobson and Vereen. Frankly, 80 rec's might be Edelman's absolute ceiling this yr....I cant just assume guys will get hurt again..
