Your welcome, just focus your ww attention on WRs, don't overspend on anyone but a WR. Your big concern is getting a starter for week 10 so Check out Denver's receivers (the play the Browns) NO and Atlanta play each other, Seattle has Miami and Houston has Cinci.
So I'm in pretty good shape (right now) with Walter and Royal (Houston and Denver). I really liked the analysis of my draft mistakes. I have one left, so thanks.
This helps me a bit as I am drafting out of the 10th spot and I have been using the Draft Dominator to hopefully help me get an early round strategy. It always seems that most of the rounds are dictated by all the others but the early round strategy sets your team up. I was thinking of taking advantage of the QB flex position by drafting 2 QB's like you but it looks like you lack at other positions when you do this. Any advice you (especially after your draft) or anyone in here could give me, I would really appreciate it.
I actually like this team. You should end up with 2 of the Top 5 QB. I think you reached on Brandon Jacobs for a FFOC draft but if McFadden and Jonathan Stewart pan out, you should be alright. Boldin/Roy were great value for a WR combo even though your WR3 spot is weak. I think I would have passed on Delhomme in Round 8 for a better WR or RB, since you already had the Manning/Romo combo and waited until late for QB3.
Thanks, i'm feeling a little better about this squad today. I think i just went through one of those panic moments since it was SO far removed from any kind of draft i've ever done before. Definitely a lot f risk/reward, but i was in a gambling mood last nightTwinTurbo said:
Looking back now, it actually would have worked out VERY well for me if a couple of other picks would've fallen into place. For example, B Marshall was taken 1 pick before i took K2. If i could have snagged Marshall, my WRs would be solid 1 through 3. Then Ricky Williams was scooped 2 picks before i took Delhomme and there was a HUGE run on QBs that round. I figured that, with Romo, i needed to cover the week 10 bye. I was going to wait for Favre or Schaub as they have nice week 10 matchups. But, amazingly they were taken in Rd 8 before me. So i admit i reached on my QB3, but i felt that i needed to cover Romo's bye week (champ game).So, to summarize, i think this strategy can work very well. BUT, a LOT of things have to fall into place during the draftETA, the guy in the 10 spot in this league picked up TO an MOSS. Here's his squad:1 :Randy Moss2 :Terrell Owens3 :Michael Turner4 :Selvin Young5 :Steve Smith6 :Antonio Gates7 :Matt Schaub8 :Chris Perry9 :Kurt Warner10 :Matt Forte11 :Reggie Williams12 :Chris Johnson13 :Seattle Seahawks14 :Greg Olsen15 :Tampa Bay Buccaneers16 :Shayne Graham17 :Adrian Peterson18 :Justin Gage19 :Robbie Gould20 :Michael JenkinsFanatics said:
That is a super strong team. You stole Holt, CJ, and Perry. I'm still suprised CJ is dropping so far in the FFOC drafts I've seen.
Thanks for the information. If you wouldn't of missed on those picks, it would of been very difficult to beat you. I guess only time can tell but it has been my feeling that if you get 2 of those elite QB's starting each week, you will be in every game no matter. I just do not like the way my roster looks when I have attempted to mock it this way.Once again, thanks for the information.
thanks. i think the team is very strong too. you hit on most of the steals, though i think cooley in the 12th is also great value. the draft was a few days ago, before the rudi johnson news was official, so i was able to get perry in the 13th and watson in the 15th
Holt in the 5th and Chad in the 7th is unbelievable. Perry in the 13th is great value... I guess no one else knew what they were doing, which is always makes for a great draft.
I did a few of these and finally bit on Brady in the first round. First time I have every take a QB in the first. I felt pretty lucky to have LJ and Owens fall to me from the 3 spot. Hopefully LJ pans outs. Round 1 : QB Tom Brady Round 2 : RB Larry Johnson Round 3 : WR Terrell Owens Round 4 : RB Willie Parker Round 5 : WR Calvin Johnson Round 6 : QB Jay Cutler Round 7 : WR Marvin Harrison Round 8 : RB LenDale White Round 9 : RB DeAngelo Williams Round 10 : WR Reggie Brown Round 11 : QB Aaron Rodgers Round 12 : TE Jeremy Shockey Round 13 : RB Justin Fargas Round 14 : WR Kevin Walter Round 15 : TE Owen Daniels Round 16 : RB Andre Hall Round 17 : TDSP Buffalo Bills Round 18 : K Matt Prater Round 19 : TDSP San Francisco 49ers Round 20 : WR Derek Hagan
2nd---Owens3rd---Colston4th---Marshall6th---Cotchery7th---R. WilliamsSweet depth at WR....overall, nice squad...good luck
Yes the top 4 QBs all gone by the 2nd round and then it slows considerably. I think I made a mistake taking Garrard when I did because I could have still got nice QBs much later. PLus he shares a bye with McNabb meaning I can't play 2 QBs all ten weeks. All in all though I like my team here
OK, how did Grant last 'til 4.04? That is criminal.
Nice team, looks like people have really started devaluing guys with week 10 byes. Barber going at 14 is pretty low, and a nice pickup there, though you are looking at a pretty big hole to fill in the championship game unless Ricky holds onto that starting gig.
They are locked until noon I think to process waivers. After that you should be good to go.
Hey David, I was actually in your draft last night. I was Run Chiapet drafting in the 9th spot. For anyone who cares... here's how mine went. I definitely think 2 higher level QB's will help, but I don't have much depth at all unless AP or Ryan Grant get hurt. I was torn between Jamal Lewis and Grant in round 4. I just thought Ryan might be more injury prone since his holdout and he missed so much camp. I will probably regret that, but I had to stick with my rankings.9. Run Chiapet Round 1 : RB Frank Gore Round 2 : QB Drew Brees Round 3 : QB Ben Roethlisberger Round 4 : RB Jamal Lewis Round 5 : WR Greg Jennings Round 6 : WR Wes Welker Round 7 : WR Roddy White Round 8 : TE Dallas Clark Round 9 : TDSP San Diego Chargers Round 10 : QB Jon Kitna Round 11 : RB Chester Taylor Round 12 : WR Vincent Jackson Round 13 : WR Reggie Williams Round 14 : RB Brandon Jackson Round 15 : WR Chris Henry Round 16 : K Adam Vinatieri Round 17 : TE Randy McMichael Round 18 : RB Jason Wright Round 19 : TDSP Tampa Bay Buccaneers Round 20 : K Mason Crosby
same here. in 2nd place by a few pts though...
Sorry folks I tried to warn you..... F.
Its funny, he didn't even have his best lineup in. If he started Hines Ward over Calvin he would have another 9 pts. He did lose Burleson to injury, his team is very good but Turner won't face Detroit every week, Barber wont face Cleveland and his defense won't be putting up TDs all the time. Long story short the top teams this week are mostly going to be from matchups and are going to have some combination of turner/parker/mcnabb/brees on their teams.hotdogcollars said:2 teams, both 2-0. Top scorer in one league, #5 in the other. long way to go though.Did you see the top scorers section? 180 pts is winning right nowIf winning a regular FF league has a significant element of luck, then winning the FFOC is going to be like hitting the Powerball jackpot
It's amazing how much disparity there is between leagues.
In one of my FFOC leagues, a guy bid $95 for Sammy Mo. The next highest bid was $31. In another league he went for $1. In my 3 leagues, Cassel went for $81, $68, and $52.BroadwayG said:It's amazing how much disparity there is between leagues.
In my 'bad team' league, where I'm thin at RB after MoMo went down and the Houston running game sucks, $31 wasn't enough to get Sammy Mo. Had to scrape up Brandon Jackson for $1 after waivers.
In my 'good team' league, where I'm deep at RB and WR, pick up Sammy Mo and Pierre Thomas for $1 each after waivers. Also land Cassell for $51, hopefully an upgrade over Tarvaris. Had to leave a boatload of decent talent in the pool, rosters just aren't big enough.
I signed Cassel for $33. Thought I needed a 4th QB with Manning/Warner/Bulger. Morris went for only $9 (my $22 bid was cancelled since my drop went to Cassel).
