Currently one of 2 league leading teams at 6-1. The other one has Jimmy Graham, and both Julius and Demaryius Thomas. Fun part is they're both in the same division hehe...
In the 3 leagues I'm in, the Peyton owners are a combined 17-4. (None of them are me.)
Moral of the story: Any time you can land the VBD leader in the 4th round - no matter what position he plays - you can have a completely average draft otherwise and still dominate your league.

Dear God. This shows a complete lack of understanding with regard to basic statistics. No wonder you thought pizza came in linear increments.
A given advantage at any position will yield a win total slightly above the mean assuming the rest of the rosters are fairly normally distributed.

I'm in too many league to list them all, but in the one I have him, a 14-team auction league, I am 6-1 thanks to having not only Peyton, but Charles, Fred Jackson, Decker, Blackmon and Jordan Cameron. Still have Percy Harvin stashed for the stretch run, too. 
In our local $200 auction league, the guy with Peyton is 9-12 (we play three games a week). The funniest part was him going 0-3 Week 1 despite Peyton's 7 TD passes.
His RB worth a darn is Bernard (he has Davis Wilson, too, but we all know how that has turned out), and his best WRs are Dez and Antonio Brown. He did just get Gronk back, so he is not out of it yet, but he needs Dez and Gronk to be huge nearly every week.

I'm in 2 yahoo 10 team standard leagues. In one league Peyton owner is 6-1 (1st place) and has had the 2nd fewest points scored against him. In the other league the Manning owner is 1-6 (10th place) and has had the most points scored against him ( 801). In that league I've had the 2nd most points scored against me (746) and I'm in 4th place.
I'm in a league that starts a QB at superflex. I have Peyton Manning and Drew Brees. I am first in points scored (1220) and am in 7th place with a 3-4 record. The next highest point scoring team has 1100 points and is 3-4 in 8th place (this guy beat me in week 1 even though Manning threw 7 TDs)!
I think a lot of it just has to do with luck.

Contract, dynasty league. I had the 2nd and 3rd overall picks a couple years ago and drafted both AJ and Julio. Peyton I got in a deal last year to save a guy money so he could take someone off the WW. I've had ADP for about 5 years now. His contract was up when he tore his ACL so I got him back for next to nothing because nobody thought he would do anything last year. And Blackmon (and a 1st rounder) I got for Spiller last year.
All that being said, I literally have no depth at RB. My 2nd and 3rd RB's are Matthews and Woodhead. This week I'm starting ADP and Turbin at RB.

10 team dynasty league running since 2000. $32 million dollar salary cap, restricted free agency, transition and franchise tags (with first round pick compensation), 2 year contracts with 1 option year. We have a yearly Free Agent Night where we bid auction style on players not under contract and then a traditional rookie draft of 7 rounds.
In order to make a trade in this league, you have to have a lawyer, team of accountants and an abacus as 1st rounders carry extra weight because they are required to be in your possession just to make a bid on a tagged player and often deals are squashed not because of talent but because of salaries of the players against the cap.

I am 3-4 in the one league I have Peyton ($225 auction, nabbed him for $15!, but...also paid like $45 for Spiller)
Other teams' records in leagues which I do not own him:
2-5
4-3
3-4
I will never, ever draft a QB before the 5th rd, or spend that much $ on one again. Like, ever.

10-team redraft, no PPR:
6th place at 3-4. 5th place in overall scoring.
Took Charles in the first and then got killed in rounds 3-7 with Roddy, McFadden, Amendola, Daniels, and Luck (WTF). So basically almost no production out of those spots.
16-team keeper, small PPR:
Tied for best record overall at 6-1. 2nd in overall scoring.

Why? Seems to me that spending that much money on a QB was not your problem. If you got Peyton for only 15 bucks and still don't have a winning team, then botching the rest of your auction was the problem, not spending money on a QB.

Spot on... Getting Peyton for $15 should give you a HUGEEEEEE advantage over the rest of your league.
