20 minutes to lockage, maybe.

 

[rzrback77]

So, has anybody checked? Is it locked?

 

[LHUCKS]

did it lock?

 

[videoguy505]

It won't be "locked" officially until the staff wakes up in the morning and locks it.

Total noob here. So far the best team I can get is about 2900.How are people getting over 500 QB strength in DD? I put in Peyton, Carson, and Brady in just for a test and it only goes to 500. I dont see how any other combo of 3 could be much better than that. Am I doing something wrong in DD?

IMO, it is all how you set the dominator up. I have no idea where people are getting some of the numbers they are getting. As an example, my brother and each used DD to run our league's draft. My dominator showed me with the strongest team while his showed me having the 3rd worst team.

I'd agree. I have no idea how people are getting these numbers either. I ran a team with LJ, Alexander, LT, CJ, Steve Smith, and a few more studs and didn't get these numbers. I have my scoring system set to the scoring system used in this league, so it must be another difference in setup.

I think if you are using the default projections form FBG....and you've configured all of the setup options the same....DD should come out with the same results.

Oh ok, so if Joe Fantasy Guy decides Vernand Morency is going to get 1800 yards and 15 touchdowns, he gets him for a buck and watches his team strength inflate. I get it.

 

[Das Boot]

It looks like updates can still be made.

So what happens to any updates made now, after the deadline?

Will FBG let them stand?

Or roll back to the last valid entry before the deadline? (I get the impression that isn't possible since the new entry overwrites the old one).

Anyone still tweaking their roster?

I am surprised by the number of people who are spending peanuts on 7 WRs in a PPR contest and (IMO) paying through the nose for a stud RB

I am not. You have to take your chances some place. A stud RB is irreplaceable and will not come out of any of the under $10 players. There will be a few stud recievers below the $10 mark but you must be lucky enough to pick them.

IMO, you have a much better chance at some cheap WR stepping up and becoming at least a semi-stud than lucking out and winning the lottery with the one Mike Anderson or Willie Parker needle in a haystack that pops up each season.

Very, VERY Some people never learn....

RB depth in PPR survivor contests doesn't always equal success. Personally, in a contest such as this, it is my inclination to pick as many high reception receivers as possible. Stud WRs can carry a team when you have steady, but non-flashy RBs.

Uhhhh...have you read this thread yet? I have already made comments on what I think the recipe to win would be. It's not taking high priced WRs. Any player can have a bad game. With WR it's magnified because they are dependant on QB's who may also have a bad game. By no fault of their own, it would then make them have a bad game. I would much rather stockpile up on middle of the road type WR that should get solid, not spectacular numbers each week.

It's good logic. I picked my team in much the same way. If you get two RB scoring two touchdowns and have hundreds of all-purpose yards every week your team will be more sturdy than if you are relying on WR to step up. I picked maybe 4 top RB with unquestioned starter status and a range of cheap WR who could all easily put up a TD any week.

I handcuffed my RBs so I would not get hit my the injury bug too bad. Even a Stud RB can get hurt, which could cause problems for some teams. I wanted to make sure the backup would do just as well as the starter. I think I am pretty balanced at all of the positions. Definitely a challenge with all of the bye week issues this season has to offer. I know Leinart/Delhomme have the same bye week, but worth the risk to get Matt at $5 if Warner goes down.

First time doing a survivor... I think it's decent. Between my 7 WRs I think 3 of them should have solid games any given week. RBs are pretty solid and Morrency has some upside. I like Leftwich as a QB as I think he's somewhat underrated. He really helped my team towards the end of his season last year. Too bad he got hurt.

Looks like everyone's fielding some good teams. Good luck to all this year.

[jon_mx]

QB - Peyton Manning - 29

QB - Chris Simms - 10

QB - J.P. Losman - 6

Palmer is best value, but Manning will be bigger scorer. Only see Simms counting in the bye week and perhaps one other.

RB - Shaun Alexander - 69

RB - Willie Parker - 32

RB - Frank Gore - 10

RB - Jerious Norwood - 2

RB - Derrick Blaylock - 1

Had to get one of the top 3. Kind of wish I had spent $2 more for LT. Wanted to bump up and get Rudi instead of Willie but could not sqeeze $10 off.

WR - Reggie Wayne - 35

WR - Lee Evans - 14

WR - Terry Glenn - 13

WR - Bobby Engram - 4

WR - Troy Williamson - 4

WR - Doug Gabriel - 1

WR - Ronald Curry - 1

I think Reggie may end up with bigger numbers than Harrison this year. Took a chance that Evans and Glenn will put up very good numbers. I think Glen will be Bledsoe'f favorite target, not sure about Evans as Buffalo might suck. A couple of my bottom four will produce decent seasons.

TE - Ben Watson - 9

TE - Tony Scheffler - 1

Watson is easily the best value at TE. Could end up #2 TE in the league. Tony will surprise some, but not really counting on that.

PK - Jason Elam - 3

PK - Stephen Gostkowski - 1

Good offenses, good kickers.

TD - Miami Dolphins - 3

TD - Cincinnati Bengals - 2

Miami gets lots of sacks, Cincinnati gets lots of turnovers and thus scoring chances. Thats all that counts in this.

I know I'm screwed in week 6, but I think Manning goes back to his form of 2 years ago with Edge gone and I think Reggie Wayne's #'s overtake Marvin this year. I have studs at all positions and I think Morency will split time with Lundy and has great upside for $1. I'm loaded at WR with nice value in the $9 - $2 range. Just have to fight off the week 6 RB situation...

As with anything, it is a total crapshoot, but I am satisfied with my selections.

[⚡DEADHEAD⚡]

QB - Daunte Culpepper - 18

QB - Drew Brees - 14

Simms could be very good value here.

RB - Warrick Dunn - 33

RB - Willie Parker - 32

RB - Frank Gore - 10

RB - Michael Turner - 5

RB - Brandon Jacobs - 2

TOTAL - $82

Surprised more people didn't take Dunn at $33 and Gore at $10.

WR - Joe Horn - 16

WR - Lee Evans - 14

WR - Terry Glenn - 13

WR - Keyshawn Johnson - 11

WR - Chris Henry - 2

TOTAL - $93

Like the value every one of these guys represents. All, with exception of Wayne, seem cheap for their anticipated contribution.

TE - Randy McMichael - 10

TE - L.J. Smith - 10

TOTAL - $20

Guess these weren't very original picks!

PK - Ryan Longwell - 2

PK - Josh Brown - 2

TOTAL - 4

Blah, blah blah...

TD - Indianapolis Colts - 5

TD - Seattle Seahawks - 4

TOTAL - 9

Good defenses for the price.

Numbers added up in my head...could very well be wrong with exception of TE, K and DE!

[Dolfan]

Winning Roaster:

QB:

B Favre

B Leftwich

P Rivers

One of the top QBBC combos suggestedby Stuart.. Saved some money here -- hope this works out..

RB:

L Johnson

T Bell

C Cobbs

T.J. Duckett

C Houston

L Johnson is obviously the stud of this team... I'm happy to have 2/3 of the Denver backfield locked up -- especially in this format. I think Duckett will score a couple of TDs at least one week and probably crack my lineup.. Houston was obviously a flyer, but IF he earns the starting job, he MIGHT score enough to help me out one week

WR:

A Boldin

P Burress

A Toomer

E Wilford

B Stokley

T Taylor

B Edwards

A Boldin is the #2 WR on my board... If E Manning turns out to be top-5 like a lot are expecting, I should be in real good shape with his WR1 and WR2... If Manning returns to 2004 numbers [i think he does], Stokley could turn out to be excellent value... Edwards appears to be healthy and could be a HUGE steal..

TE:

R McMichael

J Wiggins

I think Culpepper is back in top form, and McMike and Chambers will reap the rewards.. I have McMichael as the #2 TE on my board... Wiggins, as I think most regulars here are aware, represents good value...

PK:

J Carney

S Janikowski

Strategy was to go cheap here.. I don't think I'm in too terrible shape for only $2

TD:

NY Jets

Detroit

Again, went cheap here -- defenses in this scoring systyem don't score a lot of points anyway... These two, on the surface, look horrible, but they are actually ranked EXTREMELY high by Stuart in his Defense by Committee article, so maybe I'll luck out...

Soooo....

Who's getting 2nd place in this thing??

 

[massraider]

With the "best ball" format, and PPR, I thought overall depth, especially at WR, and backs that catch the ball were big. If Clayton bounces back, and DeShaun gives way to DeAngelo, I could make some noise.

Don't see many on the Delhomme bandwagon but that's what makes it interesting. Rivers is a total crapshoot.

RB - Willie Parker - 32

RB - Frank Gore - 10

PK - Shayne Graham - 3

PK - Stephen Gostkowski - 1

Kickers are Kickers

TD - Carolina Panthers - 8

#1 defense and one that forces a bunch of turnovers.

Let the games begin

Who's getting 2nd place in this thing??

Lots of good picks, but T. Bell as #2RB?? That's a risky pick, but I suppose the winner is one who gets lucky somewhere.

and Duckett, Cobbs and Houston as bye week fillins could be a killer.

 

[code]

Fundamentally the contest is about finding value amongst the fixed values (not unlike a precalculated salary cap league)...what's interesting is to see which players are getting selected most, indicating that a majority of participants believe they are "values"...two names I'm seeing a lot are Willie Parker and Terry Glenn...

I'm wondering if Doug can run a quick query over the entries and post some information on maybe the top 10 values (by collective thinking) by posotion...I think the results would be very interesting...

I look at Tater and Cobbs as one RB...While Bell, by himself, is a risky RB2, and Cobbs, by himself, is a sub-par bye-week fill-in -- I think, taken together, they make up a pretty solid RB2.. And with Larry Johnson as my RB1, I think I am VERY solid at the position.I agree with Duckett and Houston as my by-week fill-ins, I could be in touble.. I need Duckett to have his 2-TD game on L Johnson's bye-week and I will be okay
