A couple of things I noticed while looking over the booted teams...
The NFC East was the division to draft players from. Dal(68.91 82/119), NYG, and WAS have 2/3 of their player drafted still alive. Only 3 teams have less than 50% of their drafted players alive. BAL (43.09% 53/123), OAK, and PHI (surprisingly)
The most drafted team? NEP with 160 overall. They are at 50.63%, 4th worst.
But how about those individual players?
QB, no surprise Brady has only 4/14 left. A little surprising is Big Ben is the same (4/14) 5/14 alive include Hasselbeck, Eli, McNabb, and IRed Alex Smith.
Up top, Warner, Romo, Brees and Delhomme all have only had 2 teams booted (out of the 14)
But the MVQB is Rodgers, who has helped keep his team alive in all 11 leagues where he was drafted.
RB
Despite Ronnie Brown falling to the 2nd or worse, in almost every league, he's still apparently killing teams. Him, Maroney, and McFadden have the worst survival rates (4/14)
Despite LT's problems, he was still one of the safest picks. 12/14 are still alive, leading the way with Brandon Jacobs and one other of the players in all leagues.
The other player is a very weird case. Chester Taylor has also only lost 2 teams of the 14 that drafted him. What's weird is that ADP has lost 8. Looks like handcuffing ADP with Chester was a VERY good idea this year (although 1 of the 2 losses did).
Wr
Galloway is the top drag, relative to draft position. Anthony Gonzalez DJ Hackett, and Chad Jackson have also lost 10 teams along with JG. In the 9 out, Santonio Holmes is the name that stands out.
The best WR to have? Antwaan Randle El (only 1 out/14, the only 1 of the drafted in all leagues group.) Next tier are TJ Housh (surprise), M Muhammed, K Walter, Welker, and Berrian
TE
Heap, Shockey, and Watson have been the anchors.
The gem? Greg Olson, who's only lost 1 team.
Kicker
Kaeding has been the worst, Folk the best
Def.
Titans is the number 5 D so far, but the best survival rate. The worst? Houston. It's the worst D so far, but it's a little surprising, as I'm quite sure they were near the bottom D drafted in every draft. The oddity. The Bears have been the best D so far, but have lost 8/14 teams.
A couple of final notes.
Congrats to Oldfatguy, the best team (total poinst wise) so far despite being from WSL. The unluckiest is NorrisB (WSL4), who has the most points of the bootee's. The worst team still alive? AhrnCityPahnder(MBSL)
