After my draft, I felt like I had a few question marks, but no more than any other team. According to the Draft Dominator, I had the 2nd best starting lineup and the best overall team so I was pretty happy. However, we are now entering week 4 and I am 0-3!!! I am sure there are others out there. This thread is not meant to give each other advice on our situations, but to tell what your plan is from here on out- patience, play for next year, make lots of trades, etc. Also, most importantly, to VENT!!!!
My league is 12 teams and we keep 4 players-this was kind of a "restart year" with many new members, so we did a full redraft. Offense is standard scoring with no PPR and 6pts/ passing TD. We use IDP with 1 pt/tackle, 5pts/sack, 6pts/INT, 5pts/FR and 6 pts/TD.
My usual starting lineup is-
QB- Vick (started Trent Green in week 1) with Kitna and recently Grossman as backups
RB- Steven Jackson and Thomas Jones with Droughns, Rhodes, Buckhalter and Turner as backups
WR- Chad Johnson and Randy Moss with Derrick Mason and Eddie Kennison as backups
TE- Ben Watson
K- Jason Elam
DL- 2 of James Hall, Jared Allen and Ty Warren (had Erasmus James to start, picked up Warren)
LB- 2 of Kirk Morrison, DeMeco Ryans, Ernie Sims
CB- 2 of Charles Tillman, Ike Taylor, Anthony Henry
S- Troy Polamalu and Nick Collins
A trend for my whole team is they score NO TDs!!!! Since I started Green in week 1, I got nothing from any player that week. Vick did well in week 2 and CJ scored 1 TD, but the rest did nothing. Week 3 was more of the same.....I needed 15 points from Vick to win and he was terrible(Should have gone with Kitna- I knew Vick couldn't have 3 good games in a row!!).....no one else scored any TDs either. Where to go from here?
My plan is to give this team 1 more week. I originally figured Jackson, Johnson, Moss and Jones (if he held off Benson) to be good for at least 10 TDs each. They have combined for a total of 1 after 3 weeks. With 4 keepers for next year, I have to hold on to Johnson and Jackson and I am hopeful about Michael Turner. I have shopped all the other RBs and Moss with little to no success- a few offers, but nothing really helpful. I am going to let these guys go for one more week, then I may just pack it in and start playing for next year. We can trade draft picks, so I will try to set up my 4 keepers and trade anything else I can for picks next year. Our playoffs have 4 teams- 3 division winners and a wild card, but my division has one team at 3-0 (I actually think they are the weakest team....just made a poor trade and having some injury problems) and 2 other teams at 2-1 that are solid. If I go to 0-4, I don't see any way I can end up beating out 2 or 3 of these teams to make the playoffs.
OK, all you other 0-3 teams....spill your guts here and give us some insight as to what you are planning for your team!!!
