The Week 6 Roster (1 Viewer)

[Routilla]

If this has been discussed please delete the thread. When the schedule first came out I didn't pay much attention to week 6 but am starting to find more and more guys I would draft, in specific rounds based on ADP, are landing on the week 6 bye week.

QB: Manning(2), Kitna(6), Big Ben(11)

RB: Addai(1), Parker(1/2), Gore(1), Henry(1/2), Lynch(3/4), Bell(7/8)

WR: Harrison(2), Wayne(3), Roy(3), Walker(4), Evans(5), Calvin(6), Ward(5/6), Jackson(6/7), Holmes(10)

TE: Davis(6), Clark(15), Miller(15)

DEF: DEN(10/11), PIT(13/14)

Realistically, depending on where you pick in each round, you could end up with several of these guys. Mix in a few other players in other rounds and you could have a pretty nice team. Of course week 6 you get hammered but outside of that you are basically not affected with bye weeks. Absurd or potentially shark-like?

I have noticed that too in my mock drafts. I may end up dumping the week and start my season with Parker/Henry/Williams/Walker. That would be a fun week 6 linupe to try to patch together.

I keep finding myself saying "Wait, I can't take XXX because I already have YYY off week 6. So I end up with a decent roster but the bye weeks are everywhere. I rarely have most of my guys playing the same week. I've never tried this before because the players involved seemed either too closely bunched together in ADP to where you could not get many of them, or they were spread out like this year but the quality of players was not good enough to justify the picks.

I don't even look at bye weeks anymore. I just take the guy I want.

For example a team of Addai (1st round), Harrison (2nd round), and Wayne (3rd round). Come bye week I am screwed, but if those are the BPA I am taking them and enjoying then the other 15 weeks of the season.

This is the precise scenerio that prompted my thoughts on week 6. I find myself trying to dance around Harrison/Wayne in 2/3 as I am probably franchising Addai. Then I get to QB and TE and Kitna/Davis are about where I want QB/TE based on the RBs/WRs in those spots. So I think, WTF? What if I target w6 players, there are a bunch of pretty good players off w6 including defense. Then the other 15 weeks are not as troublesome, barring injury of course.

Yes, I am in the same position. Keeping Addai, 16 teams, third pick in the draft PPR scoring.I would rather be super weak one week and super strong in the others.I had Priest and Deuce during their "peak" years. They had the same bye week. Those two were getting me as many points as 6 players on the other teams. I just mailed it in. Didn't scrape my depth in to field starters. Started my backups who were the likes of Alstott and Corey Schlesinger or something. Almost won the week.Don' forget, they have guys on byes too.
