Looked for value and tried to space byes evenly and front load when possible...

QB - Kurt Warner - 15 - Bye 9

QB - Chris Simms - 10 - Bye 4

QB - Matt Leinart - 5 - Bye 9

I'll probably regret the Warner / Leinart strategy after thinking more about it.

Thinking back, Palmer was 22 compared to 20 for the two of them and with an early bye.

Probably should have went that way instead.

But guess I would have had to kick in more $ for a 3rd QB in that case that would take away from other spots.

Simms has some upside, and early bye, and faces NO at Home on ARI's bye week.

RB - Warrick Dunn - 33 - Bye 5

RB - Willie Parker - 32 - Bye 4

RB - Dominic Rhodes - 22 - Bye 6

RB - Frank Gore - 10 - Bye 7

RB - Jerious Norwood - 2 - Bye 5

Pretty good value, even spacing of byes ending w/ week 7

Rhodes may be the problem here if Addai starts to shine.

WR - Derrick Mason - 26 - Bye 7

WR - T.J. Houshmandzadeh - 23 - Bye 5

WR - Matt Jones - 14 - Bye 6

WR - Lee Evans - 14 - Bye 8

WR - Terry Glenn - 13 - Bye 3

WR - Arnaz Battle - 3 - Bye 7

WR - Ronald Curry - 1 - Bye 3

A bunch of midpriced WR's where I'll hopefully see at least 2 solid performances per week.

Ok spacing of byes except for Glenn and Curry who I both wanted.

Probably should have looked for a $3 player on week 4, 9, etc instead of Battle.

(Maybe I did and it didn't work out but just don't remember)

TE - Ben Watson - 9 - Bye 6

TE - Heath Miller - 7 - Bye 4

Took Watson like just about everyone else.

In looking at TE's in the $7 range went with Miller and the early bye.

PK - Shayne Graham - 3 - Bye 5

PK - Jay Feely - 2 - Bye 4

Good kickers with early byes.

TD - New England Patriots - 3 - Bye

TD - Miami Dolphins - 3 - Bye

Really liked the value of the Parker-Haynes handcuff, and I think having both Matt Jones and Wilford should work well too. I hope Horn is healthy and I would like to see what he can do with a real QB throwing to him.

QB - Peyton Manning - 29

QB - Philip Rivers - 10

QB - Alex Smith - 7

Start 1. Hoping for another big year by PManning, add in two young guys that shouldn't be in danger of being benched.

RB - Warrick Dunn - 33

RB - Willie Parker - 32

RB - Frank Gore - 10

RB - Kevan Barlow - 6

RB - Derrick Blaylock - 1

Start 2. Went for average valued guys that can catch or have the backfield to themselves. Have a low-cost NYJ backfield for depth.

WR - Hines Ward - 36

WR - Derrick Mason - 26

WR - Isaac Bruce - 6

WR - Bobby Engram - 4

WR - Troy Williamson - 4

WR - Travis Taylor - 2

WR - Braylon Edwards - 2

Start 3. The steady-eddie WR group. Mostly undervalued guys that produce. Used the Miny duo as my handcuff group. Four #1 WRs and three #2s.

TE - Todd Heap - 22

TE - Heath Miller - 7

Start 1. Hoping McNair uses Heap appropriately and Miller is a TD machine.

PK - Lawrence Tynes - 2

PK - John Kasay - 2

Start 1. Tynes should be in some shootouts. Kasay is undervalued this year.

TD - Pittsburgh Steelers - 7

TD - San Diego Chargers - 2

Start 1. Pitt is an obvious top 3 squad, SD always has some random big weeks.

QB - $13 - Steve McNair (quick - back to 2003)

looking at it now, i probably should've chosen at least 1 "safe" QB

QB TOTAL - $47

RB - $42 - Rudi Johnson (apparently not alone)

RB - $32 - Fast Willie Parker (could perform like a $40 RB if he keeps goalline carries)

RB - $10 - Frank Gore (you too, huh?)

RB - $2 - Brandon Jacobs (cheap TDs!)

RB - $1 - Cedric Cobbs (who knows in Denver, no downside at $1)

RB TOTAL - 87

WR - $35 - Reggie Wayne (maybe pass Harrison this year?)

WR - $27 - Roy Williams (monster already, and look at what holt did in Martz's O)

WR - $14 - Matt Jones (dunno why really)

WR - $9 - Antonio Bryant (lotsa talent but shaky situation, just another gamble)

WR - $4 - Troy Williamson (someone's gotta catch the ball in MIN)

WR - $2 - Greg Jennings (Driver could see trips, so why not)

WR - $2 - Braylon Edwards (soo much talent just waiting to be used here)

WR TOTAL - $93

TE - $9 - Ben Watson (is there anyone that didn't take him?)

TE - $6 - Alex Smith (crossing fingers)

TE TOTAL - $15

PK - $1 - Jason Hanson (Wilkins was good with Martz.. i dunno)

PK - $1 - S. Gotkowski (there must be a reason they let Vinatieri go)

PK TOTAL - $2 (obviously not putting any faith in kickers)

DEF - $3 - NY GIANTS (homer pick, but they might be decent)

DEF - $3 - MIAMI (actually expect them to make the playoffs, so this could be good)

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%.
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)
LHUCKS,You are correct in theory, but wrong in application. I think you want your team to be unique/different in that no one submitted the exact same lineup as you so that in the end you aren't splitting the pot of gold with anyone. (There are sufficient tie breakers in place unless EXACT same roster submitted) But you still want to grab value, bang for your buck, fantasy points per dollar invested if it is screaming at you. I grabbed Ben Watson at his price without thinking twice. He has a realistic chance to crack the BIG4 TEs this year, so I choose to save money at TE and coupled him with a darkhorse $1 TE and tried to spend those dollars saved in a different area.
 
QB - Carson Palmer - 22 looking for consistency

QB - Chris Simms - 10 upside pick here..... like his supporting cast better than Rivers

QB - Matt Leinart - 5 no handcuff to Warner..... but may not need injury to steal the job

RB - LaDainian Tomlinson - 71 saved all my money to spend it here..... love him with PPR

RB - Ahman Green - 18 looks healthy..... easy schedule..... can catch if behind

RB - Frank Gore - 10 VALUE!!!

RB - Michael Turner - 5 IF LT gets banged up here and there will be worth it

RB - Brandon Jacobs - 2 Can contribute with 2 vulture TDs in a game or if Tiki misses time

WR - Roy Williams - 27 Nothing but upside at his price

WR - T.J. Houshmandzadeh - 23 Not sure I like a WR2, but defenses key on CJ to shut him up

WR - Lee Evans - 14 Great schdule in the weeks 13-16

WR - Michael Clayton - 9 Will be a big part of Simms stepping forward or not

WR - Troy Williamson - 4 Only thing not to love is Brad Johnson's arm

WR - Greg Jennings - 2 Farve's WR2 has always put up stats

WR - Braylon Edwards - 2 Gabriel or Curry may be better picks but I like the feel good story

TE - Ben Watson - 9 VALUE!!!

TE - Tony Scheffler - 1 DEN hasn't had a good TE in awhile we shall see

PK - Matt Stover - 2 Offense will move with McNair and see short fields with top D.

PK - David Akers - 2 Eagles move the ball, but no real options in redzone.... just like the pre TO era

TD - Chicago Bears - 8 Choose to spend on defense that has solid front 4. Upgrade to return game.

TD - Seattle Seahawks - 4 Solid front line that adds Peterson to LBs

Total value: 250

Far from perfect.....not sure if defense was the place to spend money.....but I felt like I could justify all the other players at the price.

 
Here's mine

QB - Carson Palmer - 22

QB - Jake Plummer - 16

QB - Jake Delhomme - 15

QB total: 53

Went strong on QB's. All 3 of these guys should play every game. I don't buy into the Cutler is taking over Plummer hype. He'll wait his turn.

RB - Willie Parker - 32

RB - Reggie Bush - 22

RB - Frank Gore - 10

RB - Travis Henry - 2

RB - Vernand Morency - 1

RB total: 67

Went with a group of RB's who I believe will have more production other than what their contest value was given. Henry and Morency are the two wildcards in this group. If I can hit one of them to be more productive than expected, I'll be in pretty good shape.

WR - Torry Holt - 46

WR - Roy Williams - 27

WR - Terry Glenn - 13

WR - Antonio Bryant - 9

WR - Troy Williamson - 4

WR - Greg Jennings - 2

WR - Braylon Edwards - 2

WR total: 103

Holt is the only big stud I chose in this group. The others I believe will outperform the value given by the contest generators. Braylon Edwards and Greg Jennings could be absolute steals here. Troy Williamson and Antonio Bryant could very well lead their team in receptions and to get that distinction at those values is a no-brainer in my opinion.

TE - Ben Watson - 9

TE - Tony Scheffler - 1

TE total: 10

Riding the Big Ben train here and Scheffler could be a big payday if he emerges.

PK - Neil Rackers - 4

PK - John Kasay - 2

PK total: 6

Kickers are so close in value, I decided to go with 2 of the top kickers (in my opinion).

TD - Carolina Panthers - 8

TD - Miami Dolphins - 3

TD total: 11

Same philosophy as my kickers - team defenses aren't that much different from each other value wise, so I went with 2 teams that I think will be in the top 5 by seasons end.

was loving it until after a last minute switch in a few players I totally didn't realize my 2 QBs (figured Manning would lead my team in socring every week besides his bye, so I took the lowest value QB for my #3) have the same bye week :bag:

How I made that rookie mistake I'll never know. :wall:

I've been burned in years past by going for value rather than studs. This year I try the opposite with a few bargain guys with potential and some handcuffs for the studs. I like the Arizona QB combo at this price.

 
Sorry this took so long. It's been a crazy day.

Shown here is each player's price and the percentage of rosters that he's on. At the bottom of each position group is the average dollars spent on that position across all entries.

As soon as I get some time (which might be never), I will post all sorts of cool stats on this stuff....

FBG:

When the weekly results file is posted this year, will all the team rosters be revealed as it was last time? For those of us too impatient to wait for the final tally on Tuesdays (and understanding that you guys have more important insight to be working on rather than add up a static contest :D ), there are a few of us who have tried to post where the numbers are during the weeks games. All we need is the full set of rosters, and after that we can do our own thing. Takes a pretty well set up excel spreadsheet and access to the player stats (which many of us have), but my MNF posts from the past contests like this were pretty popular. We even managed to catch a couple of accidental miscalculations in the "official" results, so it helps to keep the results clean too.

Just a thought, and thanks for making this by far the best FF website around!

-CTR

 
Code:
Kurt Warner		   15	21.4Matt Leinart		   5	11.6Byron Leftwich		12	 5.4AVERAGE			   40.9
I figured my QB strategy would be pretty popular, but surprised at Leftwich's popularity...he hasn't been getting much buzz around here. Generally people spent way too much on QB IMHO.
Code:
Rudi Johnson		  42	23.4Brandon Jacobs		 2	21.5Laurence Maroney	  11	17.2Chris Brown			7	10.6Thomas Jones		  23	 8.1AVERAGE			  104.3
I didn't think Rudi would be that popular...pleasantly surprised to see a low percentage for T. Jones. Not surprised I was well under the average.
Code:
Terry Glenn		   13	37.6Lee Evans			 14	21.8Matt Jones			14	16.8Ernest Wilford		 5	15.4Drew Bennett		   8	13.7Chris Chambers		39	10.1Joey Galloway		 21	 5.4AVERAGE			   79.0
I'm well over the average here...so much that it's the only position where I'm over the average. Outside of Galloway all of my selections are very popular.
Code:
Tony Scheffler		 1	12.7L.J. Smith			10	 6.9AVERAGE			   14.5
Relatively unpopular...as everybody and their mom went with Watson. I'm pleased with this.
Code:
Stephen Gostkowski	 1	24.1Sebastian Janikowski   1	15.0AVERAGE				3.9
It looks like a lot of people were on the one buck kicker train.
Code:
Arizona Cardinals	  2	 4.6Denver Broncos		 4	 3.0AVERAGE				7.1
I expected a much higher average.

Nothing too flashy here except for Gates and Palmer. The way I see it, you need to get yourself in a position to have an opprotunity for several players to blow up and not hang your hat on one $70 horse. Everyone betting the farm on the "multi stud RB" theory is probably going to be in for a pretty rude awakening in a couple of weeks, as you cant afford to "plan" on sitting high cost players every week (in the case of more studs than starter slots at a position on a roster). Someone posted above that this does NOT get won by using the same strategy you use to win your weekly lineup league. I toyed with the idea of plugging in a lineup that had LT in it and eventually decided against it because it degraded the other positions too much. A buddy of mine didn't want to screw around with figuring this contest out so I gave that one to him and we'll see how it works out I suppose.

Earlier I posted that to make the finals the strategy is different than what I think it actually takes to win the whole thing. To make the finals, you need nothing but consistent decent scores (be in the top 50% every week after the first few, which amazingly is a pretty consistent number with thousands of people in the running), but to win, you need to outperform every remaining contestant. So without a couple of dependable but unpopular stars its tough to make this happen. By spreading mid-range money across several players, I feel you can dramatically increase your odds of being in the top 50% every week. It also helps you from being killed by the injury bug because you have a couple of decent guys that can fill in in a pinch. If you do manage to survive to the end with LT, Peyton, Gates, CJohnson, another nice value WR, to go with a pile of $1-$2 players (yes, you can have a legal roster with all of them, I checked), I think a team like that is pretty likely to steamroll the competition. But with byes, injuries, and just dumb luck I don't think that team has the overall depth to make it all the way.

Just my opinion and I look forward to seeing 499 others in the final deathmatch! :football:

Things I looked for:

1. A few studs: Peyton, Gates, Panther D, maybe Caddy

2. Some low priced starters: most of my WRs

3. A roster that would likely be very unique.

4. A couple home run swings: Bush, Gostkowski, Chargers D

I'm hoping my studs at other positions will cary my weak WR's. If I can get some good production from my WR's, I feel I'm set up to go far. :boxing:

 
Hmmm....it seems my approach was different then most.

I went for broke with Manning & LT and cheap virtually everywhere else.

PManning - Will blow all other QB's away

Rivers - Cheap but will have some big games with Gates

Pennington - Super cheap but hey, he's a starter

LT - Boom!

CTaylor - I'm drinking it this year

Gore - Like everyone else

MTurner - Just in case LT goes down I still have a chance

Blaylock - Super cheap. Maybe the starter...?

Wayne - If I'm putting all my eggs in the Manning basket then I gotta be high on Wayne.

Roy Williams - Martz. Maybe this is the year....

Burleson - With DJAX hurting he may be worth something

Wilford - Blah but cheap

Gabriel - cheap

Curry - cheapie and possibly opposite Moss

Berrian - only worth it if Griese ends up starting

Kinney - Had no $ left for TE. He had 50 catches last year.

Baker - SUPER cheap. And seems to be TE1.

Longwell - Dome & Cheap

Janikowski - Cheap with big leg

Falcons

Bengals

My strategy was pretty straight forward, get as much value (duh) as I could while not having too much money sit on the bench every week; and at the same time have a roster just different enough from what I thought would be the more popular choices so that I can stand out from the crowd.

Looking at Doug's numbers, it doesn't look like I got the second part done at all, although no Watson, and a solid Driver in my roster are away from the norm.

I went the Stud Route. Trying to make it to final cutdown. Only concern is bye weeks. Manning, SAlexander, Chad Johnson, R. Wayne. I am banking on 35+ TDs for Manning which puts him head and shoulders above the other QBs. Which means Wayne to have a monster year.

Went cheapo at TE hoping to make up the difference with studs elsewhere.

We'll see...good luck everyone!

Peyton is a pimp... the other two guys were cheap and have good matchups on his bye week.

RB - Willis McGahee - 37

RB - Willie Parker - 32

RB - Reggie Bush - 22

RB - Kevan Barlow - 6

RB - Kevin Faulk - 3

Two strong runners + Bush.. Barlow with upside and Faulk was a mistake ;)

WR - T.J. Houshmandzadeh - 23

WR - Lee Evans - 14

WR - Terry Glenn - 13

WR - Drew Bennett - 8

WR - Brandon Lloyd - 5

WR - Ernest Wilford - 5

WR - Troy Williamson - 4

Value Value Value....no shared bye weeks....I think Housh was a steal in this format....as was glenn.

TE - Randy McMichael - 10

TE - Ben Watson - 9

Big points out of these two

PK - Jay Feely - 2

PK - Matt Stover - 2

TD - Indianapolis Colts - 5

TD - Seattle Seahawks - 4

Trying to make it to final cutdown. Only concern is bye weeks. Manning, SAlexander, Chad Johnson, R. Wayne. I am banking on 35+ TDs for Manning which puts him head and shoulders above the other QBs. Which means Wayne to have a monster year.Went cheapo at TE hoping to make up the difference with studs elsewhere.We'll see...good luck everyone!
At first glance I really liked your team, but it will take a miracle for you to make it through Week 6. This bye week will kill your team (Byes include Cleveland, Green Bay, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Minnesota, New England). This leaves you with only two WRs (CJ and Clayton), 1 TE, 1 K, JP Losman, and a full stable of RBs. If you somehow make it through that week alive, you may have a shot.
 
My team:

QB - Peyton Manning - 29

QB - Jake Delhomme - 15

QB - Matt Leinart - 5

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

I didn't plan on spending a lot on Manning. But this was a luxury I could afford because of the RB tiers. I figured that as good as the top 3 RB are, they are too expensive. So once I decided that the top 3 RB were too pricey, it was a lot easier to afford Peyton. I like Delhomme as a backup, and I still think he's one of the more underrated fantasy QBs.

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

RB - Rudi Johnson - 42

RB - Chester Taylor - 30

RB - Frank Gore - 10

RB - Jerious Norwood - 2

RB - Vernand Morency - 1

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

I think Rudi represented great value here. I was about to spend the $$ on Ronnie Brown or Steven Jackson, but the thought of using a RB that didn't have a proven track record didn't appeal to me. Of course, Chester has never been a starter, but $30 is pretty cheap considering how good that Minn offensive line is. As for Gore, I just think he is an awesome value for $10.

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

WR - Larry Fitzgerald - 45

WR - T.J. Houshmandzadeh - 23

WR - Matt Jones - 14

WR - Keyshawn Johnson - 11

WR - Brandon Stokley - 2

WR - Doug Gabriel - 1

WR - Ronald Curry - 1

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

I think some contestants are undervaluing WRs in this format. With Fitz and Housh, I have great one two punch. And I think Jones or Johnson will prove to outshine their APD. I also beleive that Stokley, Gabriel or Curry will provide excellent value considering they all play of good passing teams.

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

TE - Ben Watson - 9

TE - Tony Scheffler - 1

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

Everyone knows about Watson, but the more I hear about Scheffler, the more I think he may be the steal of the draft.

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

PK - Jay Feely - 2

PK - Jeff Wilkins - 2

TD - New York Giants - 3

TD - Minnesota Vikings - 2

Total value: 250
