This team looked great late last night right before the deadline. I'm not too thrilled about it this morning though. I took a flyer on QB3 that will probably come back to bite me in the ###. According to DD though, this team is pretty consistent week to week.

Can someone run the DD on this group for me? I don't use that program and I'm curious to see what info it can provide for this team vs. other teams. What info does the DD program tell you?

I went with cheap QBs. I like the Warner-Leinart strategy a lot of folks are using, but didn't even think of that.

RB - LaDainian Tomlinson - 71

RB - Thomas Jones - 23

RB - Frank Gore - 10

RB - Brandon Jacobs - 2

RB - Jerious Norwood - 2

I spent a lot on LT because of his receiving numbers. If Jones remains the starter, and if Gore stays healthy, and if Jacobs continues to vulture from Tiki, I should be in good shape here.

WR - Torry Holt - 46

WR - Michael Clayton - 9

WR - Amani Toomer - 5

WR - Troy Williamson - 4

WR - Greg Jennings - 2

WR - Doug Gabriel - 1

WR - Ronald Curry - 1

Spending a buck or two on probable starters like Jennings, Gabriel and Curry allowed me to splurge on Holt. I think Clayton, Toomer and Williamson are very good values.

TE - Ben Watson - 9

TE - Ben Troupe - 8

I'm on the Ben Watson bandwagon with everyone else.

PK - Neil Rackers - 4

PK - Jason Elam - 3

I don't mind paying top dollar for my top two kickers.

TD - Carolina Panthers - 8

TD - Chicago Bears - 8

I also don't mind paying top dollar for my top two defenses, though I like the Dolphins-Patriots strategy some chose.

QB - Matt Hasselbeck - 22

Haven't seen Hasselbeck on too many rosters. That makes me very happy.

RB - Rudi Johnson - 42

RB - Willie Parker - 32

RB - Reggie Bush - 22

RB - Brandon Jacobs - 2

RB - Jerious Norwood - 2

Lot's of value in the bottom two backups; I'm hoping that Bush has the kind of reception numbers that most expect.

WR - Derrick Mason - 26

WR - T.J. Houshmandzadeh - 23

WR - Terry Glenn - 13

WR - Antonio Bryant - 9

WR - Bobby Engram - 4

WR - Troy Williamson - 4

WR - Greg Jennings - 2

Most of these WRs are found on just about every roster I've seen. I think the DM and Housh 1-2 combo is going to be huge week in and week out.

TE - Ben Watson - 9

TE - Tony Scheffler - 1

This combo is popular for a reason --- it's exceptional value.

PK - Josh Brown - 2

PK - Stephen Gostkowski - 1

TD - Carolina Panthers - 8

TD - New York Giants - 3

The Giants represent the most value of any D under $5.

Total value: 250

 
Alot of people took Rudi (myself included) I guess no one is overly concerned about his lack of receptions in this format?

I just wanted safe/steady/cheap RB production...that's why I took Rudi. I don't think many people took him though.

I left him off thinking that many would have him... Left off gore for the same reason.

QB = 56

RB = 67

WR = 102

TE = 10

K = 5

DEF = 10

I feel 2 most important positions are QB and WR, you have to get these points or you are doomed

Top 1 scores:

QB - Peyton Manning - 29 Got to have the 1 QB to give you huge points every week.

QB - Aaron Brooks - 17 Can put up big numbers on any given week, good for bye week or injury

QB - Chris Simms - 10 This was a value pick whose numbers may never be used for this contest

Top score:

RB - Willie Parker - 32 Lots of carries lots of consistent points

RB - Reggie Bush - 22 Home run hitter who may get big points on occasion

RB - Frank Gore - 10 Expect him to be a consistent scorer on the cheap

RB - Jerious Norwood - 2 Hopefully not needed but had a great pre-season

RB - Vernand Morency - 1 Expect him to replace Lundy as the season wears on, good value

Top 3 score:

WR - Reggie Wayne - 35 Every week top scorer

WR - T.J. Housh - 23 Every week top scorer

WR - Matt Jones - 14 Jones, Evans and Glenn could be huge any given week only one is needed

WR - Lee Evans - 14

WR - Terry Glenn - 13

WR - Greg Jennings - 2 Great value would not be surprised to see him score points for my team

WR - Vincent Jackson - 1 Total guess based on "potential" hope he never has to score for me

Top 1 scores:

TE - Ben Watson - 9 My weaskest position, Ben should be perfect though

TE - Tony Scheffler - 1 Totally based on price and pre-season, may be a total waste

Top 1 scores:

PK - Shayne Graham - 3 Low cost, 2 of the highest scoring kickers around

PK - John Kasay - 2

Top 1 scores:

TD - Carolina Panthers - 8 Needed a top defense on a week to week basis, this was my selection

TD - San Diego Chargers - 2 I think will score a lot of points for the price

Total value: 250

Good luck to all

 
I left him off thinking that many would have him... Left off gore for the same reason. May bite me in the ### but the way to win these things is to attempt to not be the status quo.
:goodposting: In a twelve team survivor Gore and Watson would have been on my team...not in this competition.
 
QB - Carson Palmer - 22

QB - Chris Simms - 10

QB - Alex Smith - 7

yes Palmer is a risk but man if he performs close to what he did last year...

RB - Willie Parker - 32

RB - Ahman Green - 18

RB - Fred Taylor - 17

RB - Frank Gore - 10

RB - Brandon Jacobs - 2

Relying on some old RB's to get me through. Hoping Ahman will catch a lot of passes and Frank Gore to be the sleeper of the year... ( I have him in every league. Great value around the 9,10th round)

WR - Anquan Boldin - 43

WR - Reggie Wayne - 35

WR - Terry Glenn - 13

WR - Michael Clayton - 9

WR - Antonio Bryant - 9

WR - Troy Williamson - 4

WR - Braylon Edwards - 2

I went high on WR's the ppr will help me here as does starting 3 WR's. Boldin may lead the league in catches and Wayne will surpass Harrison this year... I too think people spent too muc on RB and not enough on WR.

TE - Ben Watson - 9

TE - Eric Johnson - 1

Yup Everyone picked Ben Watson... probably 90% but hey we will all keep up with each other.

PK - Sebastian Janikowski - 1

PK - Joe Nedney - 1

TD - Jacksonville Jaguars - 4

TD - Detroit Lions - 1

Total value: 250

And yes I am a die-hard 49er fan...

 
I haven't looked at all the teams posted but did anyone NOT choose Ben Watson as their TE?
I have LJ Smith projected similarly to Watson.Knowing that more people would take Watson... I took LJ. :football:
Took both.
I thought about it...but wanted to make my WRs as deep and strong as possible.
Always a good idea. I grabbed both because going with only a 1 point guy as a reserve TE made me nervous. If Watson goes down, 3/4 of the contest is screwed. :D With both, I should have pretty solid production all year long at TE, without spending TOO much.

I originally had McMichael and LJ, but traded McMichael in for Watson and used the extra dollar to upgrade at WR. Might have been a bad move but this is my first year in a survivor. Plus the WR I upgraded to keeps my top 5 WRs on different bye weeks, with only 6 and 7 on the same week.

that sucks if they did...I thought he might get passed over with the ppr.My strategy on RB was to grab players I have projected as starters for the second half of the season, that not many others would have. RudiT. JonesMaroneyBrownJacobs(not projected as a starter but didn't want to spend any more on a RB)I haven't seen anybody remotely close to this combo in this thread.

So what if everyone took Watson? He represents excellent value, maybe even the best value, and you can distance yourself from the pack with other unique picks.

What happens when, say in week 1, Watson goes off and gives all his owners tons of points. Then the guy that 2% of you took simply to be "different" completely bombs and you get eliminated that week?

I think alot of people saw that he was the lowest priced "name" RB and jumped on him.
 
glad to see there isn't much Maroney love. :ph34r:
I took Dillon and Maroney to hopefully ensure the NE running game, while taking chances on Barlow, Gore and Freddy T. RBs on the cheap to lock down what I rank as extreme depth at WR. I have my #2 and #4 ranked WRs in Chambers and Fitz with a supporting cast that should all exceed 60-70 receptions.

QB - Peyton Manning - 29

QB - Chris Simms - 10

QB - Vince Young - 4

Love Peyton and Simms this year. I have this funny feeling about Vince blowing up late in the season. Vince is my money maker :)

RB - Willie Parker - 32

RB - Chester Taylor - 30

RB - Reggie Bush - 22

RB - Fred Taylor - 17

RB - Jerious Norwood - 2

Love Willie now he is getting the GL carries. The fact that Pitt signed him NOW, means to me that they expect him to blow up this season. I agree.

I love Chester to get a ton of touches. Reggie is Reggie and FT is FT. Drinking the Norwood kool-aid.

WR - Donald Driver - 36

WR - Laveranues Coles - 19

WR - Matt Jones - 14

WR - David Givens - 5

WR - Ernest Wilford - 5

WR - Troy Williamson - 4

WR - Vincent Jackson - 1

DD is the best skill player on that team and GB will need to throw a lot. Same with Coles. Matt Jones should be a value pick here with high upside. I like Givens for late in the year. Same with Vincent Jackson. Troy and Ernie are solid value.

TE - Ben Watson - 9

TE - Tony Scheffler - 1

Just like everyone else

PK - Jason Elam - 3

PK - Josh Brown - 2

Elam has been a top 10 kicker 100 years in a row. I'll take the consistancy for a dollar or two more. Brown should score a ton

TD - New York Giants - 3

TD - Minnesota Vikings - 2

I expect the Giant pass rush to be the spark to a lot of INT's.

Vikings for my bye week.

Should be fun. I tried to build my team from the bottom up, meaning looking for the low dollar guys and then seeing what I had left over for studs. I like this team, but this is the first time I'm doing survivor format so I will admit I'm clueless.

I'd agree that you shouldn't pass on a player solely because he is popular. I think it's dangerous to take one popular pick after another, but I don't think one pick will hurt. That being said if there's someone you like as much as Watson for less, go ahead and grab him.The other side to the question you posed is Watson bombs and the guy that 2% of people took does well that week. Big reward for that 2%.

I wonder if Dodds can give us totals on which players were picked the most?? Also, average amount per position would be interesting.

I think Drinen is doing this. He posted he was going to a page back.

exactly...in the end you want a different team IMHO. A down week from Watson is more advantageous(if you don't have him and everybody else does) than a good week from Watson(If everybody has him)

That argument can go either way because if he blows up week 1 and you don't have him .... BYE BYEMy team is gunning for yours LHUCKS!!

I agree. But generally speaking I think you want to be different.That being said, I drafted the Warner/Leinart combo with everybody else and their mom and I don't regret it...of course not too many have the Warner/Leftwich combo so I'm happy about that.

Right but I'm talking about the early weeks where more people get through. The 2% would definitely make it, but so would most of the Watson owners even if he tanked solely based on the fact that most people have him. The people who take someone other than Watson might see more benefit in the finals, but I'd be worried about even making it that far.

I didn't pick a team to beat the majority of people, I picked an all or nothing team.I wouldn't be surprised if most people beat me in this particular competition, because I took on a high risk/high reward strategy with players like warner/lefty/maroney/c. brown/t. jones/m. jones/galloway etc. etc.
