Best Call

Randy Moss would return as a top tier WR

Worst Call

Derek Anderson was only a 1 week wonder not worth picking up

Best - Claiming Wes Welker would be the leading WR on the Patriots (well, he is sort of, people looked at me like :kicksrock: )

Worst - Two words. Alex. Smith. :popcorn:

 
Best: Believing in Anderson and his pedigree... thinking that he was drafted later ala Brady.. he looks real..

Worst: dropping Anderson because he had the NE game coming up thinking I would be able to get him back..

 
Best: Kenton Keith, Trent Cole

Worst: not picking up Barret Ruud or Derek Anderson from waivers.

 
Best: Announcing at the draft that B Edwards would be more valuable than Cedric Benson (they laughed and laughed)

Worst: Lee Evans would be a top-3 WR

 
Best: Kevin Jones as a late sleeper in two keeper leagues; Sammy Morris as the last pick in a 16-team keeper - won me a few games before he got hurt

Worst: Lee Evans at 3.10 in a redraft (still a chance for a comeback); DJax as WR3 (ugh)

 
Best: Drafting Favre to a chorus of chuckles

Worst: Dutifully trying to obtain a 2nd RB to LT (Ahman Green, Carnell Williams)

 
Worst: looking at Randy Moss as the plague (in Bellichek we trust)

Best: Tie NE D and Waiting for Kevin Jones in PPR leagues

 
Worst: Drafting A. Green in the 4th

Best: Drafting B. Edwards in the 5th, Farve in the 10th and picking up K. Jones on waivers during Detroits bye

 
Best: Drafting Braylon Edwards and picking up Derek Anderson (tie)

Worst: Keeping Andre Johnson and keeping Laurence Maroney (tie)

 
Best: Drafting Gates in 4th

Worst: 1A Trading Bush and Housh for Sjax and Muhammad. ugh, worst call ive ever made.

1B Not holding onto Anderson and thinking Vince Young would be decent this year

Best: Tie- ADP 4th Round/Romo 9th (!!) round

Worst: Thomas Jones 2nd round. Leinert 6th round Traded both, so overall the good outweighs the bad

 
Best - ADP in the first round of a 2 keeper league (realistically the third round since we keep 2)

Worst - Keeping Bulger over Boldin. colston, l jordan and dropping him three weeks ago (now running with V young and Garcia)

Started 0-4, now 4-4 :goodposting:

 
Best: Drafting LenDale (10th rd.), FA Pickup Nick Folk,

Worst: Keeping Leinart, Trading Colston away, Trading for Schaub in exchange for Huard and T. Jackson

 
Best: Picking up K. Jones, Anderson and Welker after week one off the wire. What was my league thinking????

Worst: Starting Benson until Week 7. Everyone keeps saying he'll get better- NO HE WON'T, and ESPN has hyped him all season- WHY DO I READ THE STUFF THESE CLOWNS WRITE!!!

 
Best: picking ADP 4th and Moss 5th in a 14 team redraft and getting laughed for reaching for those two players.

Worst: Picking Rudi with my first round pick ( couldn't pass him up with my 12th pick in a 14 team redraft ) finally traded him for Stallworth ( great so far )

Second worst: Picking Palmer over Brady as my QB. Thought Palmer would be a stud and a cinch for 30+ TDs and figured Brady, though consistent, would not reach 30 TDs.

 
Best: Drafting Burress/Housh early, Eli/Heath Miller/Matt Stover late. Also Dwayne Bowe.

Worst: Reggie Brown in the 5th round over Galloway, ADP, Welker, Kevin Jones, Lendale, or pretty much anyone that was taken behind him. Unlike my two RBs (SA and Benson, not great picks themselves) Brown actually singlehandedly lost me a game.

all in all though I think Brady was my best pick on any team. I realize he went relatively high and this is more of a "sleeper" thread, but I think he's far exceeded expectations and draft position.Deeper-Kevin Curtis, Sammy Morris

Wrong/Worst-

Not a player I have but one I avoided in Plaxico. The guy doesn't need to practice apparently and I was completely wrong on him. Same with Daniel Graham even if he was my 3rd TE, he stinks

 
Best: drafting Westbrook over Bush. A few owners thought i was nuts. lol

Worst: Lee Evans......................

 
The only league I'm still competetive in

Best: Passing up TJ, Benson, Caddy, Duece, Even Travis Henry for Jacobs at 4.07... Trading for Reggie Wayne (Holt / Norwood for him) and Reggie Bush (CP / Betts for him) when those players had low value.

Worst: Trading for Marc Bulger before the season started... Carring Rex Grossman as a #2... Trading for VJax the Day before Chambers is traded to SD.

 
Best call: Tie between drafting AP in round 2, and saying from day 1 that Kevin Jones would return and play at a high level this year

Worst call: Randy Moss.

 
Best: Grabbed Moss and AD in almost every league I'm in

Worst: The other two guys I pimped this offseason were Driver and Colston. Not the same results there..

 
Best : getting ADP in 2 of my 3 leagues, B. Edwards, Grabbing KJ off waivers in 2 of 3 leagues (2 weeks before his return).

Worst : Buying into the Maroney hype, especially in a PPR league, Alexander, taking S. Smith as the 1st WR taken. :whistle:

Best: Predicting DA would be an every day starter once he got the chance.

Worst: Failing to pick him up in any league whatsoever.

 
Best-targeting Romo, Witten, and ADP

Worst-Heap in the 5th, or any round for that matter, Steve Smith in the second, Benson period, .....oh, and Henry

 
Week 2....offered a 1st rounder and Osi Uminurya (whose name I cannot spell this morning) for RB Chris Brown in my dynasty league. Held out for more. I suck.

 
Best: Drafting Braylon Edwards to go along with Housh/Ocho-Cinco. Makes it easy to decide how to use the flex spot in the lineup.

Worst: Drafting Caddy, for obvious reasons.

 
Best: paying $2 for roethlisberger, keeping braylon edwards, and paying whatever it took to get reggie wayne ($40)

worst: not keeping reggie wayne (and keeping s.alexander instead)

 
Best: ADP in late 4th, Braylon in the 6th (later dealt), trading Alexander/Garrard for MB3/Colston prior to Week 7

Worst: DWill in the 5th. Until yesterday, trading Braylon for Brees after week 2 or 3. If the Brees/Colston connection keeps up (obviously not at the pace of yesterday), that could shift up to among the best.

 
Best: Trading away Deshaun Foster after his carear game for Matt Hasselbeck and Lee Evans.

Possibly Worst: Trading away Brandon Jacobs for Donald Driver this past weekend (was having BYE week issues and was desparate).

 
Best Call: Wes Welker would be a top 20 WR (had no idea he would be top 10 or top 5 in PPR)

Worst Call: ADP would have a marginal FF season (Traded him after week 2 for Rudi who then got hurt)

 
Auction draft. 10 team, 14 man roster. $300 cap.

Best: Witten for $6. Welker for $1. (Had Welker targeted all along as my #1 sleeper)

Galloway for $12. Curtis for $3. (also got Housh for $48-CJ went for $80! STEAL!!) :excited:

Worst: SJax for $99. Maroney for $46.

 
Best Calls:

Wes Welker

Jason Witten

T.J. Housh

Worst Calls:

Cedric Benson

Ahman Green

Peyton Manning (i wish he was running up the score)

 
Best Decisions: (1) Drafting Antonio Gates in the 3rd round & Romo in the 5th; (2) Picking up Kevin Jones as a FA, after his owner dropped him; (3) Seeing the value in Kevin Walter after Andre Johnson got hurt, when everyone else on my board didn't know who he was.

Worst Decisions: (1) Passing on Randy Moss & Braylon Edwards in the 4th round to take Lee Evans; (2) Opting to attempt to trade Issac Bruce & Ahman Green for a quality WR rather than dropping one of them & picking up any one of: Dwayne Bowe, Roddy White or Brandon Marshall.

Greatest Aggrivations: (1) Having the 2nd highest scoring team in the league, yet sitting in 11th place (out of 12 teams). My team has scored 200 more points than over half of the teams in our league, but my opponents have scored more points than every single team in our league. Ironically, I crunched the #s, and not a single team in our league would have a winning record playing w/ my schedule. Half the teams would be 0-8!!! Every week my guys (Romo, Steve Smith, LJ, KJ, Gates, Pitt, Roethlisberger, Derrick Mason, etc) go out and dominate. Then, we get beaten b/c someone's scrub went off. This week I was undone by the last place team, whose team doesn't have a single stud, b/c his 3 scrub WRs (Hines Ward, Lee Evans & Reggie Brown) combined for over 70 points. Last week it was Jeff Garcia & his 80+ completion percentage, 2 TDs & 300 yards. The week before it was MJD rushing for 2 TDs & nearly 100 yards on his last 3 carries + David Garrard & his 1st 2 TD day of the year. Two weeks before that was Patrick Crayton's 7 catch, 180+ yard, 2 TD day. This season makes me want to puke!!! (2) Not being able to trade any of my studs (specifically Roethlisberger, MBIII, Steve Smith & LJ) b/c the idiots in my league can't figure out that just b/c a player has been smoking hot (i.e. Chris Chambers to start the season) doesn't mean he's going to end the season w/ 140 catches & 1800 yards AND is therefore worth far more than Steve Smith......or......just b/c a player has had a difficult start (i.e. LJ) doesn't mean that he is going to suck all season long......and maybe, just maybe a player's start has a little something to do w/ how difficult his schedule has been & what players on his team have been injured. My league sucks like no other!!!

 
Worst: Drafting Gore in 1.5

Best: Grabbing Wayne then Housh as my 3rd and 4th

Noteworthy; grabbing Kenton Keith during Addai's injured week.
