You can't win your league in the first round, but you can lose it. Errrrrrrrrr...You can't win your league in the first two rounds, but you can lose it. Ummmmm...You can't win your league in the first three rounds, but you can lose it. Uhhhhhhh...You can't win your league in the first four rounds, but you can lose it. Ehmmmmm...You can't win your league in the first five rounds, but you can lose it. Yeah, that's it.

Tony G 1.9 points

Same here, but only got 1 from Gonzo. Also started Hernandez at flex who got me 2.Thanks Rodgers, Charles, Calvin, Marshall...This is a dynasty league. Not a 2 team redraft.

 

[Abspara]

I won despite having gonzo, roman harper, dawan landry, and the texans D having their lowest point totals of the season.

I would love to see the rest of your draft. That is pretty impressive.

Wow, congrats! Tough start to overcome.

 

[kneeunthaface]

Despite taking that turd McFadden in the first round.

 

[livetogo4sub4]

Starting DX at the flex in week 15 (0 points) and starting Nicks at the flex in week 16 (0 points).

 

[snichols]

I won despite having Foster and Peterson for week 16 championship. Better lucky than good!

 

[Rooster]

Can't say I've won, but I'm in the championship game (2 week game) with a 17 point lead going into next week and I've overcome my top 3 picks being McCoy, McFadden, and Murray. I did that by 1) picking RG3 late and starting him the whole way 2) hitting on later-round gambles like RG3 and Demaryus Thomas and 3) working waiver wire opportunities early (like Alfred Morris after the draft but before the season started, picking up Hernandez and holding 2 TEs after he was dropped due to his injury) to build depth before I needed it and 4) dumb luck (picking up SEA Defense in week 2 after someone dropped them for a better matchup).

 

[Warrior]

Despite having Danny Amendola starting on all 3 championship teams.

 

[nb009]

My two top draft picks (McFadden and Murray) missing a good chunk of season and then ####ting the bed in the finals.

 

[jim k]

Overvaluing demarco murray and drafting vick as my qb1.

DT was a late round gamble?

 

[Warhogs]

having a QB combination of Big Ben and Joe Flacco.

 

[RavenLunatic]

Lawrence Tynes taking a hot dump in his pants 2 weeks in a row.

+1

 

[EBF]

Starting the season 2-5 and being in 13th place out of 14 teams at that point.

DT was a late round gamble?

25th WR off the board for my league, so I guess it depends on your definition of late. Granted, my league had a few head scratchers that went before DT, but he was still solidly a low-end WR2 at the time and has turned into a very solid mid-to-high end WR1. For me, pretty much everyone after round 5 has some serious question marks and to have them be a very solid top 10 position player is a home run. Back when we drafted nobody was sure if Eric Decker or DT was going to be the guy in Denver, for proof, I submit this thread from after our draft with a 50/50 split on who would have the better season. Decker ended up going as the 29th WR. I consider DT a gamble that paid off.
