My WR depth is suspect....B. EdwardsK. CurtisJ. GallowayD. Hixon12 team VERY competitive auction league...
Yeah, not much depth there to trade. I'd just roll the dice with Turner - he may surprise on the upside. At least that's what I'm hoping as an owner myself (albeit he's my RB3).
Man, I hope so. I really need either him or Chris Johnson to be productive.
I was surprised at how much he went for ($19) in my auction.I like him alot this year, but I'm really hedging my season on him unless Johnson or Michael Bush emerge as a viable starter.I'm doubting Bush will do much (maybe TD vulture), and I doubt Johnson will negate Lendale White, but TD's are huge in my league.
I got turner too, however i only have Ricky as my back up. You got barber though. I see barber as being top three this year and could do better than Adrian. I picked addai at number 4 going with all the mock drafts. And now I got him on a banged up indy with saturday out. However, I wish i had went out on the limb going with Barber. I was just scared of F. jones. However, Barber is going to explode....watch.I got S. holmes, s. smith, and Andre johnson at wide receiver, so if i have to trade I can do so to get more power at RB. I suggest you just stick with what you got though. Your hurtin at wr. Find a waiver pick up after week 2 at WR. You should get a good read after that.
I drafted Barber and Turner as well.But I also have Selvin Young and got lucky with Chris Perry So...do I like Turner as a #2, yes. But I am starting to likemy other options better.Good luck.Black Label Society said:
Turner owner as well and I look for good things.. solid if unspectacular with a few long TD runs thrown in.My only concern is how he will be used as a receiver, if at all. I cant see him getting much more than 20 receptions this year given that he has 11 receptions total for his career and given the presence of Jerious Norwood who is more suited for that role.But i think the year end rushing totals will be there..

If it were a 16 team league I'd agree... but 12? I think that's pretty weak for only 12 teams.
You prayed for a 5th rounder in the 2nd
You're quite the smarty pants aren't ya? Celebrate your 12th Bday last weeK?For the record, we don't draft, we auction, and it's VERY hard to get a stacked team in this league.Typically the team who wins it all has 3 great performing players.I'm counting on Barber and Edwards to produce. I'm looking for my 3rd 'stud' if you will.M. HasselbeckK. WarnerM. BarberM. TurnerChris JohnsonMike BushB. EdwardsJ. GallowayK. CurtisD. HixonZ. MillerJ. Elam
Way to show him what the high road looks like.
I think Turner is going to surprise many this year. Atlanta will struggle but the guy is just that good. I think he would be ranked higher if we had a larger sample size to evaluate him from. He will be a very solid RB#2 and could be one of those guys who unexpectedly breaks the top 10 IMHO.
Eh, lighten up Francis it was a joke. I think Turner will put up respectable RB#2 numbers this year and will be a viable option at #2 throughout the season.
It would be interesting to see what the rest of the teams in the league look like.
So, how much money did you have left over after your auction?

Yep, sure did, I'm obviously an idiot

You paid $39 for Barber????? How much did Addai, Gore, Westbrook, Portis, et al go for?
Portis was $26Westbrook was $36Gore was $27Addai was $35I personally believe Barber will outperform all of those guys.Only ADP (41) and LT (56) went for more.
Even if he outperforms them (which I highly doubt for ANY of them), is it by:$13 for Portis?$3 for Westbrook? (FYI, I doubt you'll find many people who think Barber will outperform Westy)$12 for Gore?$4 for AddaiThose $ values could have been used to get better players at other positions. This is the thing I've learned with auctions... relative value means A LOT.Would you rather haveBarber - 39Edwards - 24Turner - 19C. Johnson - 7Hasselbeck - 3Warner - 2TOTAL 94ORPortis - 26Gore - 27Edwards - 24C. Johnson - 7Hasselbeck - 3Warner - 2TOTAL 89and 5 more dollars to spend to upgrade your WRs????
somewhat agree with your analysis, however, it's too late now I guess.I can only hope both Turner and Johnson outperform and I can trade one of them with a QB for a good WR.
Because this was an auction draft you only have yourself to blame. That team sucks.Black Label Society said:
Hey thanks alot!!
If you are going to go to the cops, these are the guys who stole your money.Black Label Society said:
I normally don't make this kind of post but in an 8 team league he is RB#2? Can I guess that you were picking him after some teams already had #3? Not because I don't like the guy, if you can scroll up I am higher than most on him, but how many RB's were off the board before him?
He was the 20th RB taken.
he was RB12 on my board
