Opening statement - this is obviously a crazy off season and I see this effecting many players in different ways. My overall theme for the season is less change is better. Also more than ever, I wanted many 3rd-7th year players who are in those potential peak production years. Vets who have not yet started to decline and preferably guys with contracts in established systems.
4.14 Old Milwaukee - Josh Freeman, QB11, TB
14.14 Old Milwaukee - Chad Henne, QB25, MIA
18.14 Old Milwaukee - Brett Favre, QB30, FA
2 QBs looking for the next step with little off-season work would have me nervous. Tampa runs a conservative attack and Henne hasnt show the good yets. The Dolphin homer in me wants him to get better, but its a big question mark. Favre stays retired IMO, so that is a wasted pick.
1.01 Old Milwaukee - Chris Johnson, RB1, TEN
5.01 Old Milwaukee - Daniel Thomas, RB20, MIA
10.14 Old Milwaukee - Reggie Bush, RB38, NO
11.01 Old Milwaukee - DeMarco Murray, RB39, DAL
VERY solid. I like the RB group a lot. If Bush goes to Miami you get a cheap handcuff, if not you get more versatility. I can see Murray overtaking Jones at some point this year.
2.14 Old Milwaukee - Mike Wallace, WR9, PIT
3.01 Old Milwaukee - DeSean Jackson, WR10, PHL
8.14 Old Milwaukee - Robert Meachem, WR45, NO
9.01 Old Milwaukee - Lee Evans,WR46, BUF
13.01 Old Milwaukee - Nate Burleson, WR66, DET
15.01 Old Milwaukee - Steve Breaston, WR74, AZ
I like the top 2 blue collar guys, but the last 4 are pretty iffy to produce on a consistent basis.
6.14 Old Milwaukee - Chris Cooley, TE10, WAS
7.01 Old Milwaukee - Brandon Pettigrew, TE11, DET
Nice solid combo. I like where you grabbed them too. Looks like good value.
16.14 Old Milwaukee - Alex Henery, K16, PHL
12.14 Old Milwaukee - New England Patriots, DST9
17.01 Old Milwaukee - Seattle Seahawks, DST19
1 kicker may haunt you.
4.13 Team Legacy - Matt Ryan, QB10, ATL
10.13 Team Legacy - Colt McCoy, QB23, CLE
15.02 Team Legacy - Jason Campbell, QB26, OAK
I love Matty Ice this year with his new WR2. Run first attacks may be your biggest concern with all 3.
1.02 Team Legacy - Arian Foster, RB2, HOU
7.02 Team Legacy - Ryan Williams, RB28, AZ
8.13 Team Legacy - C.J. Spiller, RB34, BUF
14.13 Team Legacy - Mike Goodson, RB55, CAR
After Foster Im not sure how much youll get from these guys. Youll need Williams or Spiller to get solid playing time.
2.13 Team Legacy - Miles Austin, WR8, DAL
3.02 Team Legacy - Vincent Jackson, WR11, SD
9.02 Team Legacy - Louis Murphy, WR47, OAK
11.02 Team Legacy - Donnie Avery, WR58, STL
13.02 Team Legacy - Jacoby Jones, WR67, HOU
18.13 Team Legacy - Brandon LaFell, WR86, CAR
Love the top 3. Solid potential from the others. Looks good.
5.02 Team Legacy - Jimmy Graham, TE6, NO
6.13 Team Legacy - Owen Daniels, TE9, HOU
NICE combo. Daniels may be a steal at TE9. He may out-produce Graham.
16.13 Team Legacy - Nick Folk, K15, NYJ
12.13 Team Legacy - San Diego Chargers, DST8
17.02 Team Legacy - Oakland Raiders, DST20
PK2 over QB3 looks like a better move.
4.12 valence - Ben Roethlisberger, QB9, PIT
8.12 valence - Sam Bradford, QB16, STL
Excellent and without reaching on one.
1.03 valence - Jamaal Charles, RB3, KC
7.03 valence - Ryan Grant, RB29, GB
9.03 valence - Mikel LeShoure, RB35, DET
11.03 valence - Montario Hardesty, RB40, CLE
If Grant regains his old form youll make us all look like idiots for letting him fall to the 9th and youll roll big time. Backups should pitch in too.
2.12 valence - Greg Jennings, WR7, GB
5.03 valence - Anquan Boldin, WR22, BAL
6.12 valence - Big Mike Williams, WR33, SEA
10.12 valence - Mark Clayton, WR57, STL
13.03 valence - Brandon Tate, WR68, NE
14.12 valence - Eric Decker, WR73, DEN
16.12 valence - Adrian Arrington, WR79, NO
Congrats Val. Youve over-takin PAE as the guy who steals the most picks I want. MOP may have affected that some. Not sure on the last 2. Not sure you needed a 7th WR with the first 5 you selected.
3.03 valence - Dallas Clark, TE4, IND
17.03 valence - Anthony Fasano, TE27, MIA
Stud and dud, but it will work.
15.03 valence - Garrett Hartley, K3, NO
12.12 valence - New York Football Giants, DST7
18.12 valence - Indianapolis Colts, DST27
Another single PK squad. Maybe Im doing this wrong?
3.04 Fiddles - Peyton Manning, QB4, IND
10.11 Fiddles - David Garrard, QB22, JAX
Stud and dud.
1.04 Fiddles - Ray Rice, RB4, BALT
5.04 Fiddles - Jonathan Stewart, RB21, CAR
6.11 Fiddles - Marshawn Lynch, RB27, SEA
14.11 Fiddles - Darren Sproles, RB54, SD
I love Ray Rice. Stewart should have CAR to himself soon. Lynch is a nice wildcard RB3.
4.11 Fiddles - Steve Johnson, WR21, BUF
7.04 Fiddles - Santana Moss, WR34, WAS
8.11 Fiddles - Braylon Edwards, WR44, NYJ
9.04 Fiddles - Emmanuel Sanders, WR48, PIT
11.04 Fiddles - Greg Little, WR59, CLE
12.11 Fiddles - Jason Hill, WR65, JAX
Hmmmmm. Way too much risk here for me. Johnson lacks the track record. Moss is ancient. Edwards fair at best and probably learning a new system. Little was a nice steal in the 11th (howd I let that happen?).
2.11 Fiddles - Jermichael Finley, TE3, GB
13.04 Fiddles - Greg Olsen, TE22, CHI
#####in combo. If I had room for TE3, youd dont get Olson in the 13th.
15.04 Fiddles - Neil Rackers, K4, HOU
16.11 Fiddles - Billy Cundiff, K14, BAL
17.04 Fiddles - Kansas City Chiefs, DST21
18.11 Fiddles - Buffalo Bills, DST26
5.05 radballs - Eli Manning, QB12, NYG
9.05 radballs - Matt Cassel, QB17, KC
Solid blue collar pair who can each throw for 4TD games at times.
1.05 radballs - Adrian Peterson, RB5, MIN
2.10 radballs - Michael Turner, RB13, ATL
8.10 radballs - Ryan Torain, RB33, WAS
11.05 radballs - LaDainian Tomlinson, RB41, NYJ
WOW! A top RB stable right here. Skeletor may detour, but steady LT2 could off-set should off-set some of that.
3.05 radballs - Dwayne Bowe, WR12, KC
4.10 radballs - Santonio Holmes, WR20, NYJ
6.10 radballs - Chad Ocho-Cinco, WR32, CIN
10.10 radballs - James Jones, WR56, GB
17.05 radballs - Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR80, OAK
Nice top 2. 85 is a wild card with an unknown home. Jones is unsigned. Not sure you have the stability to only carry 5 here.
7.05 radballs - Tony Gonzalez, TE11, ATL
13.05 radballs - Todd Heap, TE23, BAL
Both are very old and limited. Gonzos decline (finally) seems to have started last year, but you may squeeze one more fair season out of him.
14.10 radballs - Mason Crosby, K2, GB
16.10 radballs - Josh Brown, K13, STL
12.10 radballs - Chicago Bears, DST6
15.05 radballs - New Orleans Saints, DST15
18.10 radballs - Cincinnati Bengals, DST25
With a number of decent WRs left on the board, I think DT3 > WR6 was a bad move.
2.09 grouse - Drew Brees, QB3, NO
Youre a wild man. Id have at least handcuffed him.
3.06 grouse - Peyton Hillis, RB14, CLE
4.09 grouse - Shonn Greene, RB19, NYJ
5.06 grouse - Jahvid Best, RB22, DET
10.09 grouse - BenJarvusGreenEllis, RB37, NE
14.09 grouse - Jason Snelling, RB53, ATL
Great starting pair and solid backups., Did you need 5? Will Snelling be a better option than a backup QB?
1.06 grouse - Andre Johnson, WR1, HOU
6.09 grouse - Mike Thomas, WR31, JAX
7.06 grouse - Kenny Britt, WR35, TEN
8.09 grouse - Steve Smith, WR43, NYG
9.06 grouse - Earl Bennett, WR49, CHI
12.09 grouse - Plaxico Burress, WR64, FA
15.06 grouse - Jerome Simpson, WR75, CIN
A solid stud anchor and some nice blur collar guys to fill in the other scoring slots. Bennett that late may be great for you. Since you waited on the position after AJ, I think 7 was the right move.
13.06 grouse - Visanthe Shiancoe, TE24, MIN
16.09 grouse - Lance Kendricks, TE26, STL
17.06 grouse - Kevin Boss, TE28, NYG
Not feeling these. Not sure 3 will help.
18.09 grouse - Josh Scobee, K21, JAX
11.06 grouse - Pittsburgh Steelers, DST1
Im interested to see how much the 3 no backup selections haunt you this year.
3.07 Sinrman - Tom Brady, QB5, NE
10.08 Sinrman - Mark Sanchez, QB21, NYJ
Nicely done.
1.07 Sinrman - Maurice Jones-Drew, RB6, JAX
5.07 Sinrman - LaGarrette Blount, RB23, TB
11.07 Sinrman - Brandon Jacobs, RB42, NYG
14.08 Sinrman - Thomas Jones, RB52, KC
Concerned with team potentials here more than individual talent levels. None of these are high-scoring teams. Not sure how much BJ and TJ will give you in their limited roles.
2.08 Sinrman - Reggie Wayne, WR6, IND
4.08 Sinrman - Brandon Lloyd, WR19, DEN
7.07 Sinrman - A.J. Green, WR36, CIN
8.08 Sinrman - Hines Ward, WR42, PIT
13.07 Sinrman - Jonathan Baldwin, WR69, KC
15.07 Sinrman - Jabbar Gaffney, WR76, DEN
Solid group. Can Lloyd repeat that production? Backing up with Gaffney was a nice move. Wards decline has begun. He may drop to the WR3 this year.
6.08 Sinrman - Marcedes Lewis, TE8, JAX
9.07 Sinrman - Heath Miller, TE16, PIT
Fair
16.08 Sinrman - Rob Bironas, K12, TEN
17.07 Sinrman - Connor Barth, K17, TB
12.08 Sinrman - Baltimore Ravens, DST5
18.08 Sinrman - Miami Dolphins, DST24
5.08 Pictus Cat - Jay Cutler, QB13, CHI
6.07 Pictus Cat - Matthew Stafford, QB14, DET
If the Martz O takes strong hold in Chi-town youll look great with Culter as QB13. Stafford has great weapons. Nice big game potential here.
2.07 Pictus Cat - Frank Gore, RB12, SF
4.07 Pictus Cat - Ahmad Bradshaw, RB18, NYG
11.08 Pictus Cat - Delone Carter, RB43, IND
13.08 Pictus Cat - Rashad Jennings, RB48, JAX
Nice top 2. Nice wild card in Carter (Addai and Brown have been average at best). Jennings doesnt get enough touches for my liking.
1.08 Pictus Cat - Roddy White, WR2, ATL
3.08 Pictus Cat - Wes Welker, WR13, NE
9.08 Pictus Cat - Lance Moore, WR50, NO
10.07 Pictus Cat - Derrick Mason, WR55, BAL
12.07 Pictus Cat - Malcolm Floyd, WR63, SD
17.08 Pictus Cat - Damian Williams, WR81, TEN
Hurt me bad in rounds 1 and 3. I like Moore in the 9th and Mason in the 10th. Not sure about the last 2.
7.08 Pictus Cat - Kellen Winslow Jr., TE12, TB
8.07 Pictus Cat - Aaron Hernandez, TE15, NE
Solid combo. I have Hernandez as the better NE TE to own.
16.07 Pictus Cat - Robbie Gould, K11, CHI
18.07 Pictus Cat - Ryan Succop, K20, KC
14.07 Pictus Cat - Detroit Lions, DST14
15.08 Pictus Cat - Minnesota Vikings, DST16
4.06 ShadowMaster - Matt Schaub, QB8, HOU
9.09 ShadowMaster - Tim Tebow, QB18, DEN
Happy!
1.09 ShadowMaster - LeSean McCoy, RB7, PHL
2.06 ShadowMaster - Matt Forte, RB11, CHI
11.09 ShadowMaster - Ronnie Brown, RB44, MIA
18.06 ShadowMaster - Tim Hightower, RB58, AZ
Happy!
5.09 ShadowMaster - Percy Harvin, WR23, MIN
6.06 ShadowMaster - Deion Branch, WR30, NE
7.09 ShadowMaster - Davone Bess, WR37, MIA
8.06 ShadowMaster - Jordy Nelson, WR41, GB
12.06 ShadowMaster - Anthony Armstrong, WR62, WAS
13.09 ShadowMaster - Golden Tate, WR70, SEA
This is the grey area. No real WR1. One vet, but mostly breakout candidates who need to improve for me to compete. Lost off-season could hurt me here. FA moves (MSW, J.Jones, Branch, WR2NE, WR2WASH, QBs) could scramble this all up.
3.09 ShadowMaster - Vernon Davis, TE5, SF
10.06 ShadowMaster - Tony Moeaki, TE20, KC
Joy! - As you Ren and Stimpy fans know, thats gonna leave me one Joy short. Hopefully WR Joy is pending.
15.09 ShadowMaster - Stephen Gostkowski, K5, NE
17.09 ShadowMaster - Matt Prater, K18, DEN
14.06 ShadowMaster - Dallas Cowboys, DST13
16.06 ShadowMaster - Tennessee Titans, DST18
2.05 rzrback77 - Aaron Rodgers, QB2, GB
18.05 rzrback77 - Cam Newton, QB29, CAR
Id have rolled with a vet (McNab, Hassleback) over the rookie in this off-season. I think Ponder is the safest rookie QB option. Still, you should be fine.
4.05 rzrback77 - Ryan Matthews, RB17, SD
5.10 rzrback77 - Knowshon Moreno, RB24, DEN
10.05 rzrback77 - Chris Wells, RB36, AZ
12.05 rzrback77 - Pierre Thomas, RB47, NO
13.10 rzrback77 - Michael Bush, RB49, OAK
Dont like this group. After Matthews I see disaster. Moreno will be replaced. Wells will be replaced. Thomas has been replaced. Bush is a backup, but may give you the best chance to contribute a few games.
1.10 rzrback77 - Calvin Johnson, WR3, DET
3.10 rzrback77 - Brandon Marshall, WR14, MIA
6.05 rzrback77 - Michael Crabtree, WR29, SF
8.05 rzrback77 - Jacoby Ford, WR40, OAK
14.05 rzrback77 - Kevin Walter, WR72, HOU
15.10 rzrback77 - Jerricho Cotchery, WR77, NYJ
On the other hand I love this group. This may be the best WR group of the bunch. Solid from top to bottom. Lots of PPR points ahead. Can it offset the RB slot? We shall see.
7.10 rzrback77 - Dustin Keller, TE13, NYJ
9.10 rzrback77 - Jermaine Gresham, TE17, CIN
Ehhhh
16.05 rzrback77 - Dan Carpenter, K10, MIA
11.10 rzrback77 - Green Bay Packers, DST2
17.10 rzrback77 - St. Louis Rams, DST22
Single PK is risky, but that seems to be the norm this year.
3.11 Twilight - Philip Rivers, QB6, SD
11.11 Twilight - Alex Smith, QB24, SF
Stud and TBD. I like Smiths potential in the WCO.
2.04 Twilight - Steven Jackson, RB10, STL
4.04 Twilight - Mark Ingram, RB16, NO
8.04 Twilight - Shane Vereen, RB32, NE
13.11 Twilight - Justin Forsett, RB50, SEA
Great starters. Interesting backups. Can Vareen or Forsett make a move up the depth charts without training camp? Im thinking no.
1.11 Twilight - Hakeem Nicks, WR4, NYG
5.11 Twilight - Pierre Garcon, WR24, IND
7.11 Twilight - Julio Jones, WR38, ATL
9.11 Twilight - Mike Sims-Walker, WR51, JAX
12.04 Twilight - Arrelious Benn, WR61, TB
16.04 Twilight - Devery Henderson, WR78, NO
17.11 Twilight - Vincent Brown, WR82
Love Nicks to continue to produce. I like the next 4 as well. Not sure about Henderson and Im not sure you needed Brown as a WR7 over a PK2.
6.04 Twilight - Zach Miller, TE7, OAK
10.04 Twilight - Jared Cook, TE19, TEN
I like Zach, but not Cook with an unknown QB and new OC and offense to learn.
15.11 Twilight - Adam Vinatieri, K6, IND
14.04 Twilight - San Francisco 49ers, DST12
18.04 Twilight - Tampa Bay Buccaneers, DST23
Single PK which has become less risky with each team that copied that move.
2.03 Pimpin Ain't Easy - Michael Vick, QB1, PHL
9.12 Pimpin Ain't Easy - Kevin Kolb, QB19, PHL
Kolb was an excellent pairing to gain either a backup or handcuff to Vick.
3.12 Pimpin Ain't Easy - D'Angelo Williams, RB15, CAR
5.12 Pimpin Ain't Easy - Felix Jones, RB25, DAL
7.12 Pimpin Ain't Easy - Joseph Addai, RB30, IND
13.12 Pimpin Ain't Easy - Marion Barber, RB51, DAL
17.12 Pimpin Ain't Easy - Tashard Choice, RB57, DAL
Not sure about the triple Dallas attacks idea. Even if Barber moves, DeMarco Murrey could ruin the whole party.
1.12 Pimpin Ain't Easy - Larry Fitzgerald, WR5, AZ
4.03 Pimpin Ain't Easy - Marques Colston, WR18, NO
6.03 Pimpin Ain't Easy - Steve Smith, WR28, CAR
12.03 Pimpin Ain't Easy - Roy Williams, WR60, DAL
14.03 Pimpin Ain't Easy - Donario Alexander, WR71, STL
18.03 Pimpin Ain't Easy - Devin Hester, WR85, CHI
Excellent top 3. I like Williams to contribute. Not sure about the last 2. Hester seems likely to be replaced as the starter and may only be the WR4.
8.03 Pimpin Ain't Easy - Rob Gronkowski, TE14, NE
10.03 Pimpin Ain't Easy - Brent Celek, TE18, PHL
RG cant maintain that catch|TD ratio. Fluke rookie production at its finest. Calek is good insurance.
16.03 Pimpin Ain't Easy - Matt Bryant, K9, ATL
11.12 Pimpin Ain't Easy - New York Jets, DST3
15.12 Pimpin Ain't Easy - Houston Texans, DST17
8th team to only use 1 PK. Thats over half, so it may not have as much impact as I think. An interesting stat to track this year as we watch this play out will be PK2s vs RB5s and WR7s.
7.13 Captain Hook - Joe Flacco, QB15, BAL
9.13 Captain Hook - Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB20, BUF
18.02 Captain Hook - Kyle Orton, QB28, DEN
QB3 over TD2 is puzzling, especially with the unknown surrounding Orton.
2.02 Captain Hook - Darren McFadden, RB9, OAK
8.02 Captain Hook - Fred Jackson, RB31, BUF
12.02 Captain Hook - Mike Tolbert, RB46, SD
16.02 Captain Hook - Danny Woodhead, RB56, NE
Nice top 2. I dont like the other 2.
3.13 Captain Hook - Jeremy Maclin, WR15, PHL
4.02 Captain Hook - Dez Bryant, WR17, DAL
5.13 Captain Hook - Austin Collie, WR25, IND
6.02 Captain Hook - Johnny Knox, WR27, CHI
10.02 Captain Hook - Danny Amendola, WR54, STL
17.13 Captain Hook - Jordan Shipley, WR83, CIN
Excellent WR stable. I went through the roof when you took Knox in the 6th. I should have taken him ahead of Branch.
1.13 Captain Hook - Antonio Gates, TE1, SD
11.13 Captain Hook - Ben Watson, TE21, CLE
Stud and dud.
14.02 Captain Hook - Nate Kaeding, K1, SD
15.13 Captain Hook - Sebastian Janikowski, K7, OAK
13.13 Captain Hook - Atlanta Falcons, DST10
Id have taken 2 Team D over Orton.
3.14 Ravnzfan - Tony Romo, QB7, DAL
15.14 Ravnzfan - Andy Dalton, QB27, CIN
Romo I like. Dalton with no off-season work is too risky IMO.
1.14 Ravnzfan - Rashard Mendenhall, RB8, PIT
5.14 Ravnzfan - Cedric Benson, RB26, CIN
7.14 Ravnzfan - James Starks, RB31, GB
11.14 Ravnzfan - Roy Helu, RB45, WAS
Nice top 2 until Benson got arrested (suspension pending).
QUICK NOTE: I expect stronger penalties for player bull#### to be part of the new CBA.
Starks has a shot to over-take Grant. Helu is a nice wild card with Skeletor calling the shots.
4.01 Ravnzfan - Mike Williams, WR16, TB
6.01 Ravnzfan - Sidney Rice, WR26, MIN
8.01 Ravnzfan - Mario Manningham, WR39, NYG
9.14 Ravnzfan - Randy Moss, WR52, FA
10.01 Ravnzfan - Donald Driver, WR53, GB
18.01 Ravnzfan - Nate Washington, WR84, TEN
Interesting top 3 with some nice breakout potential. Moss is a solid wild card WR4. Driver is on the decline. Washingtons situation sucks, but a decent gamble in the 18th.
2.01 Ravnzfan - Jason Witten, TE2, DAL
13.14 Ravnzfan - John Carlson, TE25, SEA
Stud and backup.
16.01 Ravnzfan - Lawrence Tynes, K8, NYG
17.14 Ravnzfan - Dave Rayner, K19, DET
12.01 Ravnzfan - Philadelphia Eagles, DST4
14.01 Ravnzfan - Arizona Cardinals, DST11
