I play in three leagues and the Rodgers owner will probably miss the playoffs in all three. I own him in one league and am 5-5 (although I'm third in points), while the owners are 3-7 and 2-8 in the other two.
Surprising to me. Where did your picks go wrong? Obviously your #1 (or #2, as the case may be) didn't pan out; Jamaal Charles?
Well, I have scored the second most points (I initially said third, but when I checked I noticed that I passed another person), so my team is pretty good. I can't really say that anything went "wrong", other than not having very good running backs. I've had a number of injuries, like Kenny Britt, Miles Austin, Tim Hightower, etc, but nothing as devastating as Jamaal Charles. I had a trade in place of Britt and Wells for Arian Foster when he was still battling the hamstring that probably would have made my team dominant, but the Britt injury messed that up. QB - RodgersRB - Darren Mcfadden, Marshawn Lynch, Beanie Wells, Deangelo Williams, Kevin Smith (start 2)WR - Wes Welker, Vincent Jackson, Mike Wallace, Mario Manningham, Michael Crabtree (start 2, I usually start a WR at flex as well)TE - Gronkowski, CelekThis was an auction league, so I didn't really have a "first" pick, but I spent the most money on Rodgers, Jackson, Mcfadden, and Wallace.As for the other two leagues, they were redrafts and both took Rodgers in the middle of the first. I guess it just proves the point that a great QB doesn't make the team (and it's the reason why I always get a stud RB in the first when possible. I'm 8-2 in my other two leagues, with McCoy and Rice as my first rounders.
Another big week by Moore and you should be able to limp into the playoffs; then I think you do well. You have a lot of talent that is about to make it's way back and/or perform big in the FF playoffs.
This has to be a joke.
Think where you would be if you had Rodgers'Breesisdaman said:

To be fair, your 1st rounder not working out isn't really an excuse since this thread is about taking him #1 overall next year, meaning you won't have a 1st rounder to pair up with Rodgers.
I am working on the assumption that Rodgers would of been either their first or second round pick, if you drafted an average pick at the other of those positions you should of done fairly well; of course this is before I read about all the teams being in their leagues upper echelon of scoring but having poor records, so they have done fairly well. I still stand by my statement of first overall for Rodgers.
Obviously. Sanchez and Rodgers have the same bye week. It's some pretty good schtick borrowed from the onion. Check out the user name and the avatar.
Weird scoring/format league guy should not put his two-sense in.
This describes my team to a T, but I have one more loss. My opening day starting lineup in a 16 team dynasty looked like this:A. RodgersM. BushP. ThomasM. WallaceS. HolmesJ. JonesJ. Finley
If only 2 teams make it, then that is not the playoffs, that is the championship game...HTH.What the heck kind of league doesn't have playoffs, though? Not one I would want to join...
moore with 2 points another loss....
Hang in there, good times are a comin'.
It doesn't prove anything other than the guy with Rodgers either made poor picks later or got unlucky with injuries or something else. For every guy like you who picked McCoy or Rice in the first and having success, there's another guy who picked Chris Johnson or Jamaal Charles in the first and has an even crappier team because Rodgers isn't making up for those mistakes. The guy in my league with Rodgers is 10-2 and 2nd in points. He made solid picks beyond Rodgers and has a solid team.
Best was his 2nd pick? It still seems that with marginal management after going 5-0 that he should of made the playoffs.
Most surprising thing to me was that Rodgers dropped all the way down to 2.08; but overall this is not a very good draft.
Not for me. Team is in my sig. I'm 5-7 and now officially out of the playoffs. Losing J. Charles and CJ2K's performance was enough to drag my whole team down this year.
Just curious, where are you in total points?
I have 1679 points which is good for second place in my league. I'm only 25 points behind the leader. But I just can't catch those breaks in the close scoring fanatsy games. I lost at least 4 of them by 10 points or less. If I had Charles and/or CJ didn't have so many bad games, I would probibly be 9-3 or somewhere therabout.
The trend I'm seeing is if you have Rodgers you're probably in the top 3 in scoring in your league, bad luck aside, that is where I want to be. Rodgers doesn't have that one giant statistical anomaly game that is throwing the numbers out of whack, he is just pouring on the points every single week.
