Site owner mock up (ppr) (1 Viewer)

[FantasyTrader]

Just got underway today. Link.

Looks like WR/WR at or near the turn might be a strong play again this year. I was able to land both Andre and Calvin. The #1/#3 WR's in this format last year.

-----------------

1.01 1. FantasySharks.com Jones-Drew, Maurice JAC RB Wed May 27 10:48:06 a.m. ET 2009 In a PPR league I like MJD over Adrian Peterson. It may sound a little curious to some but MJD was a top 3 RB in this format last year where Adrian Peterson was 9th best due to his lack of receiving. The Jaguars plan on using MJD every which way they possibly can and that's a good thing for me.

1.02 2. TheHuddle.com Peterson, Adrian MIN RB Wed May 27 10:48:06 a.m. ET 2009 Pick made based on Pre-Draft List

1.03 3. RapidDraft.com Westbrook, Brian PHI RB Wed May 27 10:56:45 a.m. ET 2009 Say what you want about his durability, but the fact is that Westbrook has only missed four games over the past three seasons. He also averaged 74 catches over that span and managed 14 total touchdowns in last year's "down" performance.

1.04 4. KFFL.com Tomlinson, LaDainian SDC RB Wed May 27 11:48:57 a.m. ET 2009 LT is virtually a lock for double-digit touchdowns and 50 receptions. I expect a bounce-back season from him in '09, but his injury concerns gave me pause.

1.05 5. FansFantasyFootball.com Turner, Michael ATL RB Wed May 27 11:50:51 a.m. ET 2009 At 5? Sure I will take him!

1.06 6. CBSSports.com Forte, Matt CHI RB Wed May 27 11:52:06 a.m. ET 2009 Thank you for letting him fall.

1.07 7. ThunderingBlurb.com Johnson, Chris TEN RB Wed May 27 3:14:10 p.m. ET 2009 There are several backs still on the board who would be nice here but several have shakier offensive outlook. I like what I hear out of SF regarding Gore and I have hope that Steve Jackson will rebound as will the Rams offense. But neither is a sure thing. Chris Johnson has the skills to be an every down back and while LenDale May vulture some TDs, and Javon Ringer might spell him a bit, Johnson will continue to be an integral part of the Titans offense which they will look to often.

1.08 8. Rotoworld.com Jackson, Steven STL RB Wed May 27 3:14:10 p.m. ET 2009 Pick made based on Pre-Draft List

1.09 9. FFToday.com Fitzgerald, Larry ARI WR Wed May 27 3:54:41 p.m. ET 2009

1.10 10. SportsGrumblings.com Williams, DeAngelo CAR RB Wed May 27 9:30:34 p.m. ET 2009 At #10 overall, Williams presents good risk./reward ratio.

1.11 11. FFToolbox.com Gore, Frank SFO RB Wed May 27 9:38:27 p.m. ET 2009

1.12 12. FantasyFootballTrader.com Johnson, Andre HOU WR Wed May 27 11:56:19 p.m. ET 2009 Ten RB's off board, leaving me the #1 WR in this format last year. Touchdowns can be flaky. Only Boldin had more red zone rec. and no WR had more red zone yards than A.J., yet 12 tied or bested his red zone TD's (5). As stellar as he was, there's actually room for improvement.

2.01 13. FantasyFootballTrader.com Johnson, Calvin DET WR Thu May 28 12:09:11 a.m. ET 2009 The thought of pairing this format's '08 #1 WR with '08's #1 QB was tempting. But 7 of the top 10 scorer's were QB last year, so it's a slow, gentle dropoff there. With only Fitz off the board I can't pass up Johnson & Johnson as my starting two. Not even sweating RB because with 10 already off the board only 7-10 more will be selected by the time I next pick.

Nice start FT. I'm curious where Portis fell?

Nice start FT. I'm curious where Portis fell?

Link to '08 top scorers in this format.Portis and his 28 receptions gets pretty dogged in ppr (11th RB, 32nd overall). He'll pair up nicely as someone's #2 around (2.04-2.08) though.

 

[NoFBinLA]

That was a nice turn, man. I was bummed to see them both go off the board but couldn't pull the trigger on Fitz or a WR at 7.

I may change my mind by the next mock though.

Appreciated.I think 1.07 is too early for Fitz. FFToday landed him about right I think. We'll see if anything resembling a starting RB makes it back to me.

 

[thecardiackid]

I like it.

Though in a re-draft a lot is going to depend on the DET qb this year.

I'm in a dynasty start up draft now where I've picked WR, WR, WR, QB (6pts), WR, RB after trading down. (Jennings, Bowe, Marshall, Crabtree)

More RBBCs and upward trending passing games (in general) make the WR early option even more attractive.

I'm leery about that with Calvin as well. Then on the other side of the coin, I look at the deadbeats they trotted out last year and don't see how they get any worse at QB. ETA: Interesting. I'd kinda like to see what RB's you end up with in that league.

 

[Deranged Hermit]

Interesting so far. I'm a MJD owner, but I'm not sure I'd take him over AP....

 

[NoFBinLA]

Portis finally went - almost pulled the trigger two selections earlier but felt I could get a solid RB2 down the road.

Pick 2.09 KFFL.com selected Portis, Clinton WAS RB

Could be great value here.

2.10 22. RapidDraft.com Brady, Tom NEP QB Thu May 28 3:52:51 p.m. ET 2009 Looks like a good time for the first quarterback. You could take 15 TDs off his 2007 record total and Brady still would have led the league last year.

--------------------

First QB off the board.

Can't understand how it's not Brees

This isn't LAST year. Of course you can understand it. Brady gets Moss, Welker, Galloway, Faulk, Watson, etc. at his disposal. Galloway adds yet another speed threat. This offense may be better than 2 years ago.Brees has yet to throw for over 34 tds in a season. Brady has thrown for 16 more than that. The NFC South also gets a harder schedule this year than it had last year.

You're right I misspoke. I understand it. Just disagree with it.

 

[Couch Potato]

Evan Silva is doing the Rotoworld draft. In their blog he was asking what readers would do at 1.08, and I suggested Fitz rather than SJax, but he went with SJax. Too bad. He could have had a PPR lineup difference maker by starting the WR run rather than a frequently injured 4.1 YPC RB on a bad team, who won't get as many goal line opportunities as a RB on a good team would. Definitely blew that pick IMO.

Then he went with Slaton, and again I'm not a big fan. Slaton will share duties a lot more than people think this year. Very mediocre couple of picks and IMO has pretty much blown his chance to win this.

I like Slaton quite a bit, but top WRS in a PPR - they were getting off the board quick. For me, I figured I would have a better shot at a solid #2 later than a top WR.Jackson is a player who scares me - it's not him, it;s the whole team. He'll be better this year as he will be in Training Camp. But the rest of that team I'm just not high on and it will hurt him I think at least a little.

I just think RB/RB in PPR is a big mistake for Rotoworld. I mentioned that he took SJax over every WR in the league, and then took Slaton over Wayne and Jennings. I just don't like it. Middling picks, and now he'll end up with middling WR picks in the next couple rounds because the PPR difference makers will be gone.I'll stand by my belief Slaton won't be a big load carrier in 2009. Kubiak knows he was overusing him last year and has already stated he wants to rotate other backs in this year a lot more. He's a nice RB, but again, not going to have the upside for his draft slot to win you a league. This was a case of falling in love with last year's stats that won't be repeated IMO. Fully priced or overpriced at 2.05, and already having taken RB in round 1 in a PPR draft with WRs Wayne/Jennings available, a mistake.Plus, the injury risk for RBs is higher than WRs, without the commensurate big bump in value that exists in non-PPR leagues. Risk / reward not there.

 

[Couch Potato]

That was a nice turn, man. I was bummed to see them both go off the board but couldn't pull the trigger on Fitz or a WR at 7.I may change my mind by the next mock though.

I liked the CJ pick at 7 by the way. When posting to Silva, I had suggested him if he fell to 1.08, but you toook him just before. I think TEN will absolutely make him the focal point of the offense this year, even more as a pass catcher than last year. Good pick.

Oh I dont disagree - I think Rotoworld too ka risky RB with a shaky offense and then took Slaton who I like, but left two good WRs that were better picks (IMO) on the board. Of course, I am the beneficiary of the move since I got Wayne.

 

[Steed]

The Michael Turner-Brandon Jacobs team already lost the league only 2 rounds into the draft. He'll be lucky to get 30 catches out of those 2.

 

[NoFBinLA]

According to ProFootballTalk according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune he might have HAD some in January.

From PFT:

Buried in an item from the New Orleans Times-Picayune that analyzes the status of the receiver position for the Saints — and sniffed out by our friends at Rotoworld — is a statement indicating that receiver Marques Colston had potentially extensive knee surgery in January.

Per Mike Triplette, Coltson underwent a “microfracture surgical procedure on his left knee in January to repair a small hole he had worn in his kneecap.”

The term “microfracture” always raises eyebrows, given the controversial nature of the standard microfracture procedure, aimed at rectifying a bone-on-bone condition in the knee by creating scar tissue that simulates the performance of cartilage.

Coincidentally, the Saints had a similar experience earlier this year regarding running back Reggie Bush, who reportedly underwent in December 2008 a microfracture procedure that really wasn’t a microfracture procedure.

It's all I have heard on the subject thus far.

I'm a CJ dynasty owner, and absolutely believe in his talent. Maybe it's the several 50+ yd. bombs that somewhat concern me. w/o pulling the game logs, I can remember a several games last season when one catch made his day. Will that continue?Then throw in a declining Culpepper (allegedly the "starter"), and follow that with potentially starting Stafford mid season to get him some experience.Man love for CJ long term, but this season might be tough. I'm sure he'll do well, but maybe not R1 redraft #s wise.

Yep, this is all I've heard as well - other than a blurb that they expect his to be a full go by Training Camp.

 

[FantasyTrader]

Keep sliding running backs, keep sliding. Looks like two of - Ronnie Brown, McFadden, Stewart, Ryan Grant, Pierre Thomas will make it back to me. I could live with that.

---------------------------------------------------

2.02 14. FFToolbox.com Moss, Randy NEP WR Thu May 28 12:16:50 a.m. ET 2009 Tabbed RB in round one and not in love with the remaining options, so looking at WR or QB with this pick. So very tempting to grab one of the premier passers here, but should be able to get a top-8 choice next time. With three of the top wide outs already gone, I cannot pass on Moss here. I am a believer in the Pats this season and I think the Brady-to-Moss combo will again be the scariest in the league.

2.03 15. SportsGrumblings.com Smith, Steve CAR WR Thu May 28 12:16:50 a.m. ET 2009 Pick made based on Pre-Draft List

2.04 16. FFToday.com Barber, Marion DAL RB Thu May 28 9:48:20 a.m. ET 2009

2.05 17. Rotoworld.com Slaton, Steve HOU RB Thu May 28 10:01:14 a.m. ET 2009 The receiver run was the reason Slaton fell here, but I'm still surprised he's available in this format. Running backs that can catch are at a premium in PPR and Slaton appears to have little serious competition for carries. While expecting double-digit touchdowns might be too bold because Slaton isn't proficient in short-yardage/goal-line situations, he's easily a top-ten PPR value in a top-five offense with a Reggie Bush-like skill set.

2.06 18. ThunderingBlurb.com Wayne, Reggie IND WR Thu May 28 1:57:41 p.m. ET 2009 Almost went with a second RB here as the WR run left some great #2s on the board. But a top WR in this format is a need IMO, and Wayne's 2009 should be much better than his 2008. Questions I have include what will happen with Manning and the sudden new staff changes and can Gonzalez draw coverage off Wayne. BUT I expect him to bounce back and be a fine 1 WR and will end up somewhere in the top ranks for FWRs.

2.07 19. CBSSports.com Jennings, Greg GBP WR Thu May 28 2:01:06 p.m. ET 2009

2.08 20. FansFantasyFootball.com Jacobs, Brandon NYG RB Thu May 28 2:06:13 p.m. ET 2009 So thought about a WR here but since the top options are gone and I can get a top 10 QB much later I went RB. Injuries are always a concern but I will pair Jacobs with Turner and have the best power running game in the league.

2.09 21. KFFL.com Portis, Clinton WAS RB Thu May 28 2:19:06 p.m. ET 2009

2.10 22. RapidDraft.com Brady, Tom NEP QB Thu May 28 3:52:51 p.m. ET 2009 Looks like a good time for the first quarterback. You could take 15 TDs off his 2007 record total and Brady still would have led the league last year.

2.11 23. TheHuddle.com Colston, Marques NOS WR Thu May 28 4:26:55 p.m. ET 2009 With backs starting to taper into a group that should still yield a decent RB2 somewhere down the road, this pick can address the need for a top wideout. Colston disappointed last year, but that was injury-related; if he stays healthy, in that offense he's a great value this late in the second round.

2.12 24. FantasySharks.com White, Roddy ATL WR Thu May 28 5:33:25 p.m. ET 2009

3.01 25. FantasySharks.com Brees, Drew NOS QB Thu May 28 8:12:59 p.m. ET 2009

3.02 26. TheHuddle.com Welker, Wes NEP WR Fri May 29 10:07:33 a.m. ET 2009 There are multiple receiver options here, but in a PPR format Welker's triple-digit catches pushed him to the fore.

3.03 27. RapidDraft.com Boldin, Anquan ARI WR Fri May 29 10:18:44 a.m. ET 2009 Plenty of tempting running backs sit there, but only a few true No. 1 fantasy receivers remain. Better durability nearly made Terrell Owens the pick, but I simply can't get past Boldin's 89 catches in just 12 games last year.

3.04 28. KFFL.com Bowe, Dwayne KCC WR Fri May 29 11:24:10 a.m. ET 2009

 

[FantasyTrader]

I like what FantasySharks is doing. Drew Brees, MJD, Roddy White. A well rounded start.

ETA: Not sure about Jones-Drew over Peterson either but since this is ppr I can see the rationale.

 

[NoFBinLA]

How do you walk with balls this big Fantasy Trader?

Pick 3.12FantasyFootballTrader.com selected Lynch, Marshawn BUF RBGetting Lynch on "Blue Light Special" with the 3-game suspension. #13 RB last year at #19 price. Pick 4.01FantasyFootballTrader.com selected Witten, Jason DAL TEThought long and hard about a couple of RB's here that would look good paired with Lynch. But kept coming back to how filthy A.Johnson/C.Johnson/Witten trio will look. I think I can duct tape #2 RB numbers together later in the draft.

Thought about witten with my last pick but couldn't pull the trigger. Lynch is a good/great value here but you'd better hope you can also duct tape in a #1RB for the first three games (I think it's three) Lynch is out. But once he's back he could be :beastmode:.Edited to add - FWIW if you are going to come, come heavy. i like the idea you have a plan and are rolling with it and a mock like this is a good place to test that out anyway.

 

[FantasyTrader]

YIKES! Never saw myself taking Witten there in a hundred years. Gonna have my work cut out for me at RB and Fred Jackson becomes about a must. Ronnie Brown was a dagger - I expect a big year. Pairing Brown/Lynch would have been very nice.

Andre Johnson

Calvin Johnson

Marshawn Lynch

Jason Witten

------------------------------------

3.05 29. FansFantasyFootball.com Smith, Kevin DET RB Fri May 29 12:23:05 p.m. ET 2009 So was hoping Welker or Boldin would drop here but no dice. Considered a QB but too early...so with injury concerns at RB I will take my 3rd RB and worry about WR and QB soon...

3.06 30. CBSSports.com Marshall, Brandon DEN WR Fri May 29 1:05:20 p.m. ET 2009

3.07 31. ThunderingBlurb.com Bush, Reggie NOS RB Fri May 29 2:20:25 p.m. ET 2009 As is always the case at my spot, there are several ways to go. But in a league which only requires 2 WRs, but needs 2 RBs (even with PPR scoring) I want to fill out my RB tandem first. It was between several players here and while he's got some injury issues and hasn't actually achieved what we expected him to, Reggie Bush has the opportunity to be a nice #2 in this format. I may have to be extra careful with the rest of my RBS to make sure they can fill in should he go down but I think the risk is worth the potential reward.

3.08 32. Rotoworld.com Owens, Terrell BUF WR Fri May 29 2:20:25 p.m. ET 2009 Pick made based on Pre-Draft List

3.09 33. FFToday.com Brown, Ronnie MIA RB Fri May 29 3:11:29 p.m. ET 2009 I was debating Reggie Bush vs. Ronnie Brown for this pick before ThunderingBlurb snatched up Bush, making my decision for me. This is Brown's second year back from a knee injury that cut short a phenomenal first half of the 2007 season. With Ricky now 32, Brown should see more workload shifted his way. Brown is no slouch catching the ball either, recording over 30 in each of his 4 seasons.

3.10 34. SportsGrumblings.com Jones, Thomas NYJ RB Fri May 29 3:11:29 p.m. ET 2009 Pick made based on Pre-Draft List

3.11 35. FFToolbox.com Manning, Peyton IND QB Fri May 29 3:44:55 p.m. ET 2009 It is definitely a period of transition for the Colts. Between the changes (for now) on the coaching staff, questions on the o-line and the formal loss of Harrison without adding another key receiver, there are legit reasons some will be slightly cool towards their players this season. Yeah, o.k. Its Peyton "freakin" Manning we are talking about, who had 4,000 yards and 27 TDs in a "off" year. With a top fantasy RB and WR already in place, I'll take my chances.

3.12 36. FantasyFootballTrader.com Lynch, Marshawn BUF RB Fri May 29 4:14:32 p.m. ET 2009 Getting Lynch on "Blue Light Special" with the 3-game suspension. #13 RB last year at #19 price.

4.01 37. FantasyFootballTrader.com Witten, Jason DAL TE Fri May 29 4:30:20 p.m. ET 2009 Thought long and hard about a couple of RB's here that would look good paired with Lynch. But kept coming back to how filthy A.Johnson/C.Johnson/Witten trio will look. I think I can duct tape #2 RB numbers together later in the draft.

Ronnie Brown was a dagger - I expect a big year.

You're welcome - so do I

I know, like I said Fred Jackson becomes huge for me now. If I get sniped on him I could be looking at an 0-3 start. But I like several RBBC's this year. This is my MO in most drafts. Stockpile WR/TE/QB early, find mid-round RB value. We'll see.

 

[FantasyTrader]

Witten? Risky.I doubt you were looking ahead and mocking the picks ahead of time.I cringe at your starting RBs. And you still need a QB.Good Luck FT.

I l-o-v-e the RB depth this year. I honestly feel I can find a top 30 RB in the 7th round and later. And with those receivers and TE, top 30 is all I need. Should be interesting

I l-o-v-e the RB depth this year. I honestly feel I can find a top 30 RB in the 7th round and later. And with those receivers and TE, top 30 is all I need. Should be interesting

The TE depth is just as lovely this year.

I hear ya. That Daniels, Cooley, Olsen tier runs deep. The Witten pick has more to do with what I think HE does this year vs. all other TE's. With T.O. gone, lets just say I wouldn't bat an eye if he matched Gonzalez' gaudy rec. from 2008. I believe he holds a distinct advantage over all other TE's this year. If you disagree, then certainly my Witten pick starts to look like a head scratcher. I need him to pan out that's for sure!

I like it.

Though in a re-draft a lot is going to depend on the DET qb this year.

I'm in a dynasty start up draft now where I've picked WR, WR, WR, QB (6pts), WR, RB after trading down. (Jennings, Bowe, Marshall, Crabtree)

More RBBCs and upward trending passing games (in general) make the WR early option even more attractive.

I'm leery about that with Calvin as well. Then on the other side of the coin, I look at the deadbeats they trotted out last year and don't see how they get any worse at QB. ETA: Interesting. I'd kinda like to see what RB's you end up with in that league.

so farno ppr, 6pt tds all around, and i'm taking a longer term dynasty view on the draft. RBs have been going off the board CRAZY fast. (McGahee & E. Graham gone by the 10th)

I traded out of the 1st, and will either need to trade Marshall for a RB or just plan on waiting a year or two to make a run. Crabs in the 4th was too much to pass up, and will likely make me look like a genius or tard when this plays out.

Jennings

Bowe

Marshall

Rivers

Crabtree (4th)

Felix Jones (5.10)

Leshon McCoy (6th)

KWIII

Jamaal Charles (9th)

I'm now in the TE boat with ya Trader - just took Gonzo in the 4th. But I actually think he could be the 2nd best Te of the bunch.

WR2 is a dice roll now, though.

I'm not sure if I am happy or not that we don't play this out.

I like it. I can say without question through 4 picks, I'd love to have this one play out. Yeah, WR gets iffy now.
