Stinkin Ref
Busy time of year, decided to just kind of wing it with this one. Maybe zig a little here and there. 13th pick actually seemed like a bump for me in most of these this year, think I sniffed the top half of the draft once in all these bad boys. Away we go....
2.04 Peyton Manning (9)
11.13 Terrelle Pryor (7)
I ####### hate the Broncos but I got a feeling Manning is going to go off this year. And yeah I took him over Rodgers. I'm not sure how anybody is going to slow them down when he runs the hurry up. Hate to say it, but I think he is a LOCK for 2-3 scores a week, and some weeks a few more. I think he will single handly carry many fantasy teams this year. Besides the 3 WR's Julius Thomas has emerged as another athletic target, especially in red zone. There are a few questions with running game and I think Manning pushes 40+ passing attempts each week. The ball will be in his hands in the red zone. Waited forever to back him up, Pryor seemed to have most upside of anybody left.
1.13 Matt Forte (8)
3.13 Eddie Lacy (4)
9.13 Bryce Brown (12)
14.04 Knowshon Moreno (9)
Have never been a huge Forte fan but I like him this year. Bought into the recent Lacy uprising, if he gets the lions share he could be solid. Bryce Brown will get some touches each week. Banking on Moreno sticking his nose in the RB bizness in DEN. Lot of talk around here about using the vet. Gamble with only 4 here and bye weeks might be tough. Was real close to adding a 5th (looked at Turbin several times late who went undrafted) and Tolbert. But went TE. Gonna take the Bronco approach here and hope my QB can carry the load for this group.
4.04 Reggie Wayne (8)
5.13 James Jones (4)
6.04 Josh Gordon (10)
8.04 Golden Tate (12)
13.13 Kenny Stills (7)
Almost added a 6th body here late (Pettis/Avant) but again passed for TE. If I can survive the first two weeks, Gordon will be a nice bump to this group. It may just be me, but Jones has seemed like great value in many of these leagues in the late 5th or 6th in a start 3 league. Gordon was a roll of the dice on talent. I expect Wayne's production to fall off, but they are going throw a ton and he may see more single coverage than normal. Real high on Tate this year and he could end up being the top WR in SEA. Loved Bass getting Stills for me in the 13th, WR3 in NO has value, recent resigning of Meachem a little worrisome. The bye weeks here helped me decide to pass on a 6th and roll with 5. Get me to week 3 baby.
7.13 Zach Sudfeld (10)
17.13 Delanie Walker (8)
18.04 David Ausberry (7)
While I expect Sudfeld to put up TE1 type numbers for most of the year, I got some work to do here. Walker is back and expected to play and while Ausberry is dinged he should also be back and get some looks this year. In 2PPR I felt like I needed to go ahead and triple up here, hoping I can ham an egg some 6 catch/TD type weeks. Almost snagged Scheffler instead of one of these guys and took a look at Wilson in SEA. Bottom line: I got two starting TE's in the last two rounds and Sudfeld. This group could shock the world.
12.04 Blair Walsh (5)
15.13 Adam Vinatieri (8)
Love this dome combo.
10.04 Seattle Seahawks DST (12)
16.04 Washington Redskins DST (5)
Jumped early and am all in on SEA DST this year. They are just plain nasty. Almost rolled solo here but late bye week hurts that, and honestly it's nice to at least have two to choose from each week at any position.
Overall: Really hoping Manning can cover lack of RB4 and WR6 as well as some of the TE suckfest. Really may need some video game numbers out of him some weeks. While depth is an issue at WR, I like my top 4 and if Stills can hold off the competition I could survive there. SEA needs to post some solid weeks to justify the round 10 pick. Brown needs to get the weekly touches I think he will and it would be nice for Moreno ta carve out a niche, but that may have been a wasted pick. If my goal was to just kind of wing it.....mission accomplished.
good luck to all in all of these and all of you enjoy your fantasy season in and out of the best forum on this board......
