My MVP Fantasy Players this year... (1 Viewer)

Peyton Manning, 74 pts better than the #2 QB and Knowshon Moreno, the #4 Fantasy PPR RB only behind JC, McCoy, and Forte. Drafted Manning in 4th & 5th rounds in three leagues and Knowshon in the 10th-12th in seven leagues.

Glad the Broncos smokescreened the RB situation preseason with Ball and Hillman, when it was fairly clear Moreno was the most complete RB they had and most certainly the best pass protector of the bunch. When you're paying your QB $20M/year, you best believe you're rolling with the RB who can best help keep him upright.

Thanks Peyton & Knowshon!

 
Charles was 68 points better than RB2 and 100 points better than Moreno. Not sure I can see that one, at all.

 
My MVP was Jamal Charles. Carried me to a title in one of my leagues.

I'd say the best pickup I made was Kennan Allen. He was on all 3 of my championship teams. Helped carry my team with Roddy playing like crap and losing Cobb and Blackmon in another.

My LVP would be Richardson or Spiller. I drafted them 1/2 in one league and thought I would be set for the year. Neither were in my starting lineup for the championship. Not often you can bomb on your top 2 picks and still win the league.

 
Antonio Brown is my MVP. Drafted 5.12 in my league and was the #2 wr in my league (return yards 5/pt)

Honorable mentions:

Matt Forte

DeMarco Murray

Keenan Allen

Least valuable was David Wilson. What a bum.

Nick Foles.

When I traded Andrew Luck early on for Vick and Foles I hoped I was getting a top 5 qb. Never expected it to be Foles. Pleasantly surprised for fantasy and for my Eagles.

 
Shady and Josh Gordon. You can't win the championship in the first round but you sure can make it hard if you whiff (and a lot of first rounders were busts this year).

Gordon's breakout, though - that's the kind of season that gives you massive value. Ditto for Julius Thomas, despite the mid-season injuries.

 
Completely agree with the above post: drafting safely in the first few rounds, taking players regardless of position who are highly likely to be consistent performers (and ignoring the delusional strategy that you need at least 2 rb in the first three rounds) is pivotal.

Once you get 3 anchors, then you can take some risks. The rb position is so volatile from year to year that unless you can get a consistent, year to year rb, like ADP, Charles, McCoy, you are better off taking a Graham or Calvin if you pick in the middle of round one. If you are towards the back of round one, taking a qb is completely reasonable.

From rounds 4-6, feel free to take a few risks, especially at rb, where if you hit on someone, the cost clearly is worth it. If this year has taught me anything, it is to avoid the temptation of taking a rb who hasn't really done it yet.

 
If were going by value my vote is split between:

-Phillip Rivers
-Julius Thomas

Drafted them both in every league for two of my last three picks and for a $1 each in my auction league.

 
Gordon without a doubt...carried me down the stretch run in all leagues. Targeted him due to his great value due to the suspension.

Zac Stacy and Keenan Allen get honorable mentions. The waiver wire, late draft pick players that turn into studs always give the juice you need to carry you.

 
As for exceeding value I'd say Knowshon Moreno and Keenan Allen. As for the most important player on my team each and every week - Jimmy Graham.

 
With a team of Stafford-Dez-Julio-AJ-Gore-McFadden-Mathews-Cameron... I would have NEVER made it to the playoffs let alone win the whole thing without picking up Keenan Allen off the FA list in week 1 to sit and stash as well as little known Zac Stacy at the same time...

Two simple little moves that ended up paying off big time and saving me all year and down the stretch... Both Allen & Stacy were rock solid in the playoffs too boot... i will always be grateful and will always be a fan of theirs for life in the future regardless if they are not on my future teams for what they did this year for me! :tebow: :tebow: :tebow:

gotta remember where moreno was drafted in relationship though..

My MVP Peyton, then Charles then JOSHUA Gordon... was very lucky to get them all

Moreno and Gordon for me, though Peyton, Antonio Brown, and J. Thomas deserve mention overall. Players like Dalton, Rivers, Lacy, Murray and Cameron were surely big parts of some winning teams, though each had their stumbling points.

Jamaal Charles and Eddie Lacy for me. you could win your league this year if you took Charles or Manning in the 1st

 
MVPs: Dez Bryant, Antonio Brown, Le'Veon Bell, Chiefs D, Jordan Cameron

LVPs: Daryl Richardson, Aaron Rodgers

 
For me...

Foles as a FA pickup.

Lacy as my 3rd RB take and ended up sealing my win with the 2 TDs.

Demaryius for lifting me in several games when Calvin was down.

Moreno as another FA pickup.

If Im picking just one for my team...and this for the TD only league...its Lacy. Down the stretch was what I needed especially the last 2 weeks.

Bit of a homer pick too as a Packers fan and how fun it is to watch him run and run over people.

 
It's Ryan Mathews for me, even though he wasn't the best player on my team by any means.

I traded Sproles for Mathews back in week 9. From week 10 onwards, Mathews put up either 100 yards, a TD or achieved both in all games except for the one against Cincy. Best H to H record wins my league (no playoffs). Mathews helped me win 3 games I would have otherwise lost playing Sproles. I ended up tied for 2nd place with 2 other teams with a 10-6 record. I won the tie-breaker on total points, which was also achieved thanks to Mathews nice, late season performance.

In the end I won a $500 cash prize thanks entirely to that Ryan Mathews trade.

 
My team of Charles in 1 Manning in 4, and Gordon in 7 was a team i drafted why drinking by myself.. and wasnt even a league i was planning on being in.

Or the guy that beat me in my other finals who took Charles in the first and Manning in the 2nd.

dear lord. best fantasy season you have ever seen?

It was pretty solid for him...especially in the playoffs.

He ended the season 9-4 and in 2nd place. I was 10-2 and the first place team.

I think the guy that won it last year about went wire to wire...think he might have lost one game.

Had Peterson, Forte, Foster, Stafford, Ridley, Mashall, Dez, and Tony G.

He killed everyone.

 
Demarco Murray was tied for the third leading running back over the last three games. Came in pretty handy.

Guy in my league drafted Charles and manning and didn't even make the playoffs.

He should find a different hobby. Charles and Graham for me - such an advantage over everyone else.

hes talking about for his team slow poke... JC was my MVP though.....

Yeah kind of missed that :bag: My MVPs.

KC DST - this unit finished as the number 15 overall scorer in my leagues. That's unreal for a DST.

D. Murray - I landed Murray in both my redraft leagues around round 5 and he put up outstanding numbers all season long. From a PPG standpoint he was RB4 and overall scoring RB6.

C. Patterson - an odd one to list but I owned Patterson in 3 leagues and he helped me with deep playoff runs in 2 and a championship in the 3rd. His performances the last 5 weeks were money.

When did this thread become a draft strategy thread?

 
Im curious what percentage of champion rosters had Manning on them. 4 out of 4 of my leagues did.

My Best team of the year, draft went;

1. Ray Rice

2. AJG

3. Roddy White

4. Le'Veon Bell

5. Daryl Richardson

6. Peyton

7. Josh Gordon

Proof that you can botch the draft early and still end up with a Championship Team

Somehow, i forgot to give team MVP mention/props to Josh Gordon ..

Drafted Knowshon in the 12th, he performed at the level(slightly better even) than Rice was expected to.

Added Keenan, who performed basically at Roddy's expected level

Le'Veon Bell took about 5-6 weeks to really get going bcuz of his injury, and as we know, DRich was a total bust

but it was those mid round picks of PM and JG plus KM that propelled this team

Point of this post isn't to brag, but to counter the argument that you have to ace your first 5 rounds to be a viable contender.

 
I agree with someone above who said Alshon Jeffery..what a beast.

Mr Consistency is Kendall Wright.

Knowshon was a stud especially since he was a waiver wire pickup in both of my 12-team leagues.

Julius Thomas

Pierre Garcon was a STUD

Philip Rivers, relative to his draft position, was probably the fantasy MVP of the year.

Big Ben delivered the goods.

A. Brown

Welker was a consistent star until the concussions..

Panthers' Defense

two SB matchups, neither involved Manning.Brees v. Cutler, Romo v. Big Ben. in fact, the team with Manningmissed the playoffs in one league.neither SB involved Charles, Calvin, McCoy..

We're talking about guys like A. Jeffery, Vincent Jackson, Lacy( both leagues), Demarius Thomas, Dez, Jimmy Graham, Gonzalez, ADP, D. Murray, A. Morris, A. Brown, Garcon, Fitz.

how many of these guys were first rounders? Graham, ADP, and thats it..

 
Here's a nod to Alshon Jeffrey. Some preseason hype but not nearly that as compared to other young players. Totally in the shadow of Marshall. A slow start had him on a lot of waiver wires - picked him up around week 2 or 3 and he quickly became a #1 fantasy WR rest of way.

Manning goes without question. In a 2 QB league going at QB 3-5 overall, he was simply monstrous.

Another nod to Murray, who put it all together at years end after a very solid overall year. This is the back many of is "thought" he could be if only injuries and their over emphasis on the pass didn't get in the way. Still too much of the latter and a little of the former, but at the right time. Definitely a key contributor for the playoffs.

Jimmy Graham, for all his injury and a couple stinkers, still provided a clear year long advantage and helped propel teams to a great start in both H2H record and a nice points advantage (had I any other TE probably would not have won my points title and the $$ that go with it).

The #1 seed in my auction league blew 80% of his budget on Peyton, Megatron and Peterson (as well as Moreno, Ball and Hillman) -- I eliminated in him as the 4th seed when Peyton put up ONLY 20 pts, Peterson got hurt and Megatron got a face full of snow.

Dude, your avatar is of two donkeys #######. I feel like anything should go.

 
Brees, Murray and my WR Trifecta of Garcon Marshall and Bryant in PPR led me to an unbelievable season.

 
Peyton owners went 2 - 4 in my leagues where we had to set starting lineups. It would have been 1 - 4 if Vernon Davis had caught 1 pass for zero yards for me in week against the Falcons.

The other 2 titles went to a Brees owner, and a Foles/Dalton owner. My other team that finished in second would have been a Brees owner. In case you couldn't tell I am not quite over it yet.
