I'm thinking very similarly. I'm in non-PPR, 6PT all TD's league, so QB's go quick. Peterson/Foster/Rice/CJ are automatically gone. Thinking Charles, though he could slip (doubtful). QB heavy league, so thinking Vick and Rodgers may go in that mix as well. So, I'm thinking I'll be left with a pick of a Mendenhall, McCoy or McFadden if I go RB, or Brady if I go QB. Probably going to bite the bullet with the RB pick, but not totally loving that idea to tell you the truth. I won't go WR at that slot for sure. Guaranteed to get an upper tier WR at my next pick, but the real true RB1's will be gone.
Do your QB's get 4 or 6 pts per passing TD ?'death of the cool said:
4 pts for passing. I will make sure I have a QB in the 1st 2 rounds, because they fly off the board in my league. What I need to figure out is if there will be better depth in the 3rd and 4th at RB or WR.
4 pts passing TD's - I wouldn't rush to get a QB.
Yes I know that is the strategy most take and I have done it myself the past few years, but I am tired of playing QB circus. I have plenty of WR and RB mid tier guys that I feel comfortable with that gives me the room to select a QB high.
I have the 8th in a 0.5 PPR and I am thinking of going WR/RB
Well there is a 40 point difference between say a Roddy White and Miles Austin/DeSean Jackson, while there is a 20 point difference between a Mendenhall and a Bradshaw. I prefer to have a superstud at a position than picking from a position that has been picked over some. Nothing wrong with the Mendenhall pick, you just know there is a ceiling on him with his lack of catches in a PPR league.
I'm not sure why a high-yardage QB is any more valuable here than a regular .05 per passing yard league. If anything, slightly less valuable because the difference between a 160 yard performance and a 260 yard performance is only 3 points in your league, while it's 5 in a normal .05 per passing yard league.
I like it
Interesting angle, though I'd like to see which RB's were available to you in Round 1. My only caution is that I've drafted like this before (including last year), where I tell myself all I need is for ONE of my #2RB possibilities to hit and I'm gold. Last year that included LT, Michael Bush and 2 others. No dice. You are in effect doing that for RB1 and RB2. (I don't think Ingram is a lock personally). Now I do like some of your guys (Hightower especially) but there is a chance that all of them will be marginal, split like guys. If so, you're screwed. But if a Felix, Addai, Stewart, etc step up you are in great shape. Crafty move to get Ringer btw.
top 6 gone as was Rodgers. Mendenhall, Hillis, Turner and McFadden went between 1st and 2nd round picks. I am definitely going to be scanning WW for out of nowhere backs. Its a real test of Waldmen's upsidedown strategy
I've been considering starting like this if McCoy and A.Johnson are gone at 8.
Love your team....I'm looking to pull off the same sort of team tommorrow except I'm pretty sure Vick and Rodgers will go before my 8th pick...I'll probably end up going AJ or Calvin at 1.08.Love Felix in the 3rd, that's my target there as well. Out of curiosity what pick did Best go at?
Both were gone in my draft. LeSean went 6th and AJ 7th. CJ was staring at me.....but Vick was the clear choice for me as I never expected him to fall to me.....Tom Brady went #2 overall.
I had targeted Calvin or CJ3 but Vick fell into my lap.Jahvid Best went 4.6. I passed on him and took Welker. I wanted that PPR machine. I had Ingram as my RB2 target (actually RB3....Vick is practically an RB2!).IMO I would have taken Vick #1 overall. He is that rare FF player that can literally score an average of 40 points a week. I have never taken a QB this high in a redraft since Kurt Warner in 2001 (#3 overall)
Had to been a bunch of newbs
I understand players fall but this makes me question the quality of the league you are in.
Rice also fell to me at 1.08 in my long-time competitive league. I'll admit, I'm as shocked as you are but it we do have QB heavy scoring so Vick was already off the board. RBs went Peterson, Foster, Turner, Johnson, Charles, McCoy, Rice. While I personally have him ranked top three with a good chance at number one, a case could be made for those taken ahead of him (the only real head scratched there is Turner but that owner is very high on him, and it only takes one).One thing I've noticed this year is that many owners (myself included) came in woefully unprepared due to general lack of interest in pro football during the ongoing lockout. People who normally spend the offseason scrambling for tidbits of information were much less prepared than usual and it led to some interesting choices.
You're not going to get many new posts mid week. Most drafts either happened last weekend or will be over Labor Day weekend. I think you get the gist in a PPR. You know Rice, McCoy, A. Johnson, Welker types move up then. Adjust accordingly. Or view all of the mock drafts at antsports.
