Footballguys Survivor - Championship Round (1 Viewer)

[renesauz]

Have to agree to disagree a little with Siggy here.

Parker is the starter in Pittsburgh. If he can stay healthy, he's among the best RB2's in the league at a RB3 pricetag. Julius Jones is the starter in Seattle...for a ninth round pick! Should either falter, Washington will at least score some points almost every week as he typically gets a handful of carries and 2-4 receptions on a regular basis.

I wanted to take Moore, but couldn't pass on Washington to get him, and then it was too late. Love Cadilac as a late round hail-mary. Regardless, I feel good at RB2.

Wasn't thrilled at my WR position, but Welker is consistant, and Jennings can put up a huge game any time. Jackson seems to be getting more involved in Philly's gameplans, despite the return of Curtis and Brown (who's now Philly's #3). I figure SF to pass a ton with some attractive match-ups, so the combo of Bruce/Morgan should produce a decent WR3/flex option most weeks.

Cutler/Ryan should ensure I get top 3 QB production every week.

At TE, the 3 headed monster not only protects from injury, but if they all stay healthy, they're all capable of big games. I could see a TE scoring as my flex a few times. Either way, 3 TE's with big scoring potential should keep me top 5 most weeks.

I know siggy doesn't like going with PK's, but PK's are the most frustrating of all positions, because FG's are worth more then XP's. Good kickers on good teams often post lousy scores. They're almost impossible to predict on a week-to-week basis. By taking three, you can greatly increase your odds of catching a 3 or 4 FG game from one. IN most leagues, you can't afford the roster space, but with 22 rounds.....umm.....so what WR or RB was available in the 22nd round that has a better chance of increasing my weekly score???????

Handicapping these teams is fun, but it's tough.

I'll be as happy as anyone if the Parker pick works out. Im just a bit by the conflicting reports on his shoulder and the Titans/Ravens matchups lurking in week 15/16. I agree with SF producing some points at WR, but I think Hill is actually the guy to chase there.You ask a great question about late round players that should have been drafted - here's some of the guys I would have looked at over 3rd kickers and Defenses:

JT O'Sullivan - Hill is "week to week" and after the way he played last week, JTO looks likely to get back in sooner than later.

Tatum Bell - Chances are, he starts at some point before the end of the season

Michael Bush - He's been a main receiver for them, and he's probably the best short yardage runner on the team. I dont trust Fargas or McFadden to stay healthy.

Edge - Still a backup RB on a good team, at worst, and might get worked back more into the mix after Hightower was thwarted last week.

Kevin Jones - If Forte gets hurt or hits the rookie wall, possible jackpot.

LeRon McClain - Poor man's Lendale

Hank Baskett - Still getting snaps and he's been good for some long and some short TDs this year.

David Patten - got back into the mix late last week, and it's New Orleans, so anyone on the active roster could catch 5 or 6 balls in any given week

Dennis Northcutt - Role could grow when Jones gets suspended, still good for 3 or 4 catches most weeks

Desmond Clark - Still a good receiving TE, and Orton is back

Daniel Graham - Finally saw the old stud from Colorado after the catch last week, and Denver is going to throw 40 times a game.

Although I have to say, y'all did a bangup job going deep on the lists. None of these guys are an "awww how did he not get drafted!".

 

[Andy Hicks]

Andy Hicks in the 12 hole

QB: Risky Cassel strategy discussed above, although Delhomme was a value. After that, why 4 QBs? 3, yes, but 4? Maybe he thought Hill was too good a value to pass up.

RB: SD and CAR running games locked up, which could be a major problem if both teams go cold the same week.

WR: We'll give you a pass on the Walker pick. Good investments mixed b/w upside guys (avery/chambers/roy) and baseline guys (housh/evans)

TE: It's nice to get Watson's big start, but if the first half trend continues, this group could be anemic, although the Miller pick late was savvy.

K/DEF: Colts are a good sleeper with their late schedule.

Andy gave up a lot to get Cassel's huge week. If his Qbs stay middle of the pack and that running game comes up snake eyes, he could have to absorb a week at the bottom.

Thanks for the analysis Yudkin sniped me on at least 3 picks and Clayton taking Jason Hill in the 14th was brutal. I was going to go the Hill double that round. Bruce hit 36 this week, which means he's finished (Half tongue in cheek - look at Cris Carter & Galloway for other examples). Morgan is injured and the Hill combo has the potential to be very, very good.

As for the comments, you are right about Cassel, but am trying to go for an 11-0 start and his score this week is higher than anything Brees or Warner or any other QB put up in the last 5 weeks.

The reason I went for Shaun Hill is twofold, I knew my other 3 were shaky and needed another option. Hill was the last real starter available and wanted to make sure no one else got him (Culpepper, Stanton & Russell were the only other options)

For the RB's, you could say that about any RB's. If I hadn't taken Cassel would have taken Ronnie Brown, which meant I would have taken Ricky Williams higher as well. Taking Williams & Stewart was about even with the Brown/Williams combo.

Would have liked Holt to go with Avery, but he went 2 picks before I would have taken him. Also should have taken D Bowe instead of Housh

For the TE's, kept dropping my TE's down the board after the Cassel pick and eventually had to take 1, so went with the Watson pick already in the bank for 23 points. Miller seemed a sesnible pick with the weakness I had at TE, it was either him or Michael Gaines or David Martin. Would have liked to get the Fasano/Martin combo.

D & K were mainly schedule picks, but not the strongest options. Their was a big run on the positions before I could or wanted to get in.

Overall the Cassel strategy will define my draft. If no Cassel I go LT, Ronnie Brown, Best WR at 3.01 & pick TE's & QB's earlier than I did the rest of my draft.

Sometimes you have to take risks in these things. Maybe mine was too big a risk. We'll see

 

[ConstruxBoy]

ConstruxBoy in the 1 hole

QB: He went with 3, although Im not sure Culpepper counts. Collins is a fine baseline for Rodgers upside, although Construx got caught on the wrong side of the backup QB run

RB: AD and err, umm... well, Norwood definitely has upside, but this group is going to have to be carried by the other positions.

WR: TO and Moss are a quality 1/2, although they are more up and down than consistent, Royal will help. Clayton might get more work with Mason banged up, but I dont see much upside from the rest of this group.

TE: Love the cooley pick as discussed above

DEF: Reached a bit for MIA, but the schedule justifies it

It seems like no team is depending more on their top picks than Construx. If AD or Rodgers go cold, this team is dead in the water.

Thanks Bloom!I did get caught on the wrong side of the backup QB run, so I decided to take Culpepper instead of another RB or DEF. There is a chance he gets a game where they are way behind and he throws for a ton of yards and some TDs.

I decided that having AD meant I could get a bunch of RBBC/handcuff guys behind him. I really like the Buckhalter and Pierre Thomas picks in case either Westy or Deuce go down.

Really, really wanted Kevin Curtis going into this and annoyed not to get him. But Clayton should be OK and I think Davis or Toomer might count a time or two. Almost went with Douglas, but went for the upside with Robinson at the end.

Thanks for Cooley props. Was going into this draft looking for Clark, but happy to see Cooley there instead.

MIA was a calculated gamble, without a doubt. But I like schedules with DEFs more than most positions. Was intending on getting 3 DEFs to make up for the MIA pick, but the bad luck at QB2 made me change my mind.

Like my two kickers. Both for teams that should see some good defensive football in Nov and Dec and although both play for cold outdoors teams, they both went to college in cold places (Colorado and Penn State) and should be fine.

Overall, I think I can finish in the top half of the league but will need some luck to make it to the top.

I think Yudkin is the clear favorite and I liked almost every pick he made except for Kevin Smith.

Agree to disagree on Hill vs. Morgan. Bruce should stay in the starting rotation though.JT was never a real option given my first two QB's.

Kevin Jones? They can't run the ball very well now.

Edge was an option I considered, but I don't think he gets his job back. I can't believe the Hightower owner didn't snag him late though.

McClain is the third RB on his squad. Although he's likely to score in the 5-10 point range many times, both Rice and McGahee would have to get hurt for him to score much more then that. With a guy like that already in tow in Washington, McClain was a dubious pick for me because of his limited upside.

Just plain forgot about Tatum Bell.....Agree he would have been worth a late pick.

Already had 3 TE's...so they were out.

Baskett? With Curtis/Brown healthy, he's the fifth option on Philly...no thanks.

Northcut has almost zero upside. Would be nice for a team lacking #s at WR, but I had #s.

Patten.....you could make a stong case there.

After reading your post and working with the benefit of sleep and hindsight, I could see Patten or Bell.

 

[Pictus Cat]

Good luck to you all.

Good info here.

I'll have to work on my funny for next year.

Once again, Just to make it this far, all y'all have skillz, I just think the commentary is better when I actually take a stand on some teams, with that being said...

In It to Win It

Yudkin

Eraser

Norton

MoPaP

Can Win It With Some Breaks and No Major Injuries

alonegunman

Hicks

BusMan

Construx

Nittanylion

Likely Also Rans

Gray

elcohiba

resenauz

So there's so bulletin board material for some of you, a blooming for others. If I had to pick a favorite, I'd anoint Yudkin.

Here's to more in-season drafts! Great work everyone!

Very much enjoyed being in this contest although I could not advance out of the first round. I really liked the three draft idea and look forward to a possibility of competing again next year.Thanks for the contest and good luck to all that remain!

 

[Eraser]

Eraser picking 4th

QB: I think Rosenfels was value in the 9th, and backing him up with Schaub was essential. Not a huge fan of Flacco, but you cant argue with the numbers. No upside in this group, but should hold the line with minimal investment.

RB: I really like this group because Eraser got Betts to back up Portis. I also like that Eraser only used 5 roster spots because he locked up 3 starters early.

WR: 5 straight picks at WR after the 3 RBs to open, Colston should be a fine #1. If Edwards and Walter can trade off big weeks, and Mason and Vjax stay consistent, this should be a solid group.

TE: Eraser did the right thing by going with 3 TEs since he didnt get an elite option. Olsen has upside with Orton back, and Davis made his best play of the year last week. Shockey is fine as a what the heck #3.

K/DEF: Love the big play D combo. GB has 6 pick sixes already this year.

Smart drafting by Eraser throughout, it looks like he had clarity on his strategy. I dont see any major holes, this team should be middling at worst with a shot to win it all.

Thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to put together such detailed reports for all of our teams!! I'm just glad you picked DY....I'm hoping the Sigmund Curse is in effect!

[ConstruxBoy]

Yeah, I can get decent games from Owens and SMoss and gain a couple of spots, but not a great start.

 

[renesauz]

I'm done at 147.5.

In leg two, that would have been good for 3rd or 4th most weeks, but I look likely to end with a 6-5 record this week assuming gunman gets 3 points from one of his 2 TE's tomorrow.

Not a disaster, but not the start I hoped for. Who could have seen Cutler/Matt Ryan with 1 TD between them this week?!

After being dubbed an "also-ran" by Bloom, I'm happy to have beaten 3 of his 4 favorites this week, and right behind the fourth.

 

[David Yudkin]

A couple nights ago my team didn't look that bad. Now I'm 0-11 with Earnest Graham potentially out for the year.

Hard to come back from 1-10. As Sig pointed out in his write ups, I'm very dependent on my starters and with Rodgers, Peterson, Owens and Moss all having average to below average games, I'm in trouble. Have to like the Pierre Thomas contribution though.

Decent #'s out of Big Ben, surprisingly productive night out of Santonio Holmes...

...FWP gets knocked out AGAIN, MeMo steps in and the entire Steelers Offense functions more efficiently...

...the Bengals are still the Bengals. Housh has a weak night without Chad to take off the pressure. Fitz likes his TE's...

Two good QB's.

ZERO TD's at the position.

BUT...middle of pack finish both weeks? Lying in the weeds?

[Master of Past and Present]

Another pathetic week so I'm out for the top prizes and trophy. I'm stoked to have at least lasted this long to get a T-shirt and subscription.

to FBG for running this. been a lot of fun and was an interesting test as I have never drafted mid-year before.

Good luck to the rest as it will be fun to see how this ends. Wish I could be there the final week fighting for the title but not meant to be.

Got to keep it going though. Hopefully Peterson and Taylor will rip the Lions for me next week and both post starter numbers again.

Don't have time to figure out the permutations, but here's what folks have, and what they've got left, without taking into account what those players would need to crack the starters who've already hit the board...

...personally, I'm planning on getting some mileage out of Jones-Drew tonight vs the Texans, and he only has to get to 9.5 to start counting for me. With any luck I'll add to my total. If I can pass renesauz, I'll feel pretty good about this week, despite not getting enough of RMoss or Cotchery to count. The best I can finish this week is 9-2. All things considered, I'll be pleased if I can finish 6-5 or higher.

With any luck I'll add to my total. If I can pass renesauz, I'll feel pretty good about this week, despite not getting enough of RMoss or Cotchery to count. The best I can finish this week is 9-2. All things considered, I'll be pleased if I can finish 6-5 or higher.GLTA!

I'll take a tee, size large please.

The garbage TD by Slaton made up for being stuffed 3 times on the goal line earlier.

Three things are killing me (at least major things):1) I need Reggie Bush to come back strong. I knew he probably wouldn't play the first week. But he missed 2 full weeks and was a non-factor in the third.2) The injury to Earnest Graham like 5 plays into this last leg amplified problem #1.3) I had to put out a missing persons report on Antonio Gates. Derek Schouman has outscored him . . . and I have no idea who Derek Schouman is (literally).

For me, two straight non-TD weeks for Cutler and Ryan both helped me start slow. Marion Barber has also been a dissapointment as a top 5 pick, but nice RB/WR dpeth has ensured solid scores. With better numbers from Barber, I feel I still have a shot, although a top 3 finish is probably a more realistic hope at this point.

Same to you.... you had a few games on me after week 2, but I think we had been written off.
