well I've never had the tail end pick before in a non-3RR draft so this should be interesting

 
Brees, Drew NOS QB 10

Orton, Kyle DEN QB 9

Went QB in round one after the RBs I liked were gone. Wanted solid points each week and thought there was a chance on of the big three would not make it back in round one .. but Manning did so I might have taken Brees too early. I still love him in this format.

Bush, Reggie NOS RB 10

Brown, Ronnie MIA RB 5

Williams, Ricky MIA RB 5

Hightower, Tim ARI RB 6

Scott, Bernard CIN RB 6

Tomlinson, LaDainian NYJ RB 7

Westbrook, Brian FA* RB

I waited a long time on RB and am happy with this motley crew. The Miami duo came very cheap so the bye week issues are not a big deal.



Johnson, Calvin DET WR 7

Nicks, Hakeem NYG WR 8

Moss, Santana WAS WR 9

Cotchery, Jerricho NYJ WR 7

Edelman, Julian NEP WR 5

Manningham, Mario NYG WR 8

Nelson, Jordy GBP WR 10

Tate, Brandon NEP WR 5

I tried to stay away from bye issues. Took Calvin a little early in the 2nd. The NYG pair and Santana should have some big games. Cotchery might have a big game or two while Holmes is on suspension. The Tate/Edelman combo is just for upside.

Celek, Brent PHI TE 8

Davis, Fred WAS TE 9

Love Celek this year and Davis may get a touchdown or two during this 5 week stretch

Feely, Jay ARI PK 6

Vinatieri, Adam IND PK 7

Lions, Detroit DET Def 7

Raiders, Oakland OAK Def 10

Titans, Tennessee TEN Def 9

Two kickers and three defenses without bye issues. Like having a third defense just for upside.

I like this team. Like any other, need some breaks but like my chances.

As I stated earlier, this was the one year I would have rather picked at the end of the first than the beginning. There are way too many picks between my first and second pick and too much value at the end of first beginning of 2nd. However, I am pretty happy with my team.

Palmer, Carson CIN QB - 6

Rivers, Philip SDC QB - 10

I had every intention of waiting on a QB and going more QBBC, but when Rivers was still there at the end of the 4th, I couldn't pass up the value. I have been listening to Jason Wood way too much and his man crush on Carson Palmer is starting to rub off on me. Getting him in the 9th was good value IMO.

Barber, Marion DAL RB - 4

Grant, Ryan GBP RB (P) - 10

Johnson, Chris TEN RB - 9

Moreno, Knowshon DEN RB (Q) - 9

Ringer, Javon TEN RB - 9

Taylor, Fred NEP RB - 5

I debated between CJ and AD since I found out I had the #1 pick. My homerism and heart said to take AD, but I didn't want to have to deal with a bye issue, so I went CJ. I had every intention to go WR at the 2nd - 3rd turn but when Ryan Grant was there I couldn't pass up a chance at a RB who will get most of the carries at that point. My other RBs were value picks that I couldn't pass on even though we can only start 2 with no flex.

Berrian, Bernard MIN WR - 4

Collie, Austin IND WR - 7

Cribbs, Josh CLE WR - 8

Gaffney, Jabar DEN WR - 9

Jenkins, Michael ATL WR (P) - 8

Massaquoi, Mohamed CLE WR (Q) - 8

Morgan, Josh SFO WR - 9

Naanee, Legedu SDC WR - 10

Smith, Steve NYG WR (P) - 8

My WR corp took a big hit with me scooping up RBs left and right. I went Smith in the 3rd thinking he will put up some decent #s. I only have 1 on a bye during the first leg which will be a plus. Luckily it is best ball so I don't have to try to pick my 3 starters every week.

Boss, Kevin NYG TE (P) - 8

Miller, Zach OAK TE - 10

Nelson, Shawn BUF TE - 6

The Top TEs went just as I was getting ready to take them so I took Miller hoping Campbell looks at him like he looked at his TEs in Washington. Boss was just a flyer late and Nelson was a "Mr Irrelevant" last pick with nothing but upside.

Prater, Matt DEN PK - 9

Scobee, Josh JAC PK - 9

2 kickers with no bye week issues, enough said

Eagles, Philadelphia PHI Def - 8

Packers, Green Bay GBP Def - 10

Went defense back to back in the 12th and 13th rounds thinking the defensive run might start and went with a couple of the top 2 to keep them away from others.

I am going to need a little luck out of my WR corp to make the cut, but I am pretty happy with my team. I don't have very many bye week players and if a couple of my guys hit, I should have a pretty good team.

 
Cutler, Jay - 8

Smith, Alex - 9

Hasselbeck, Matt - 5

Wanted to wait on a QB and was able to get Cutler after most had their QB's. Waited a little too long for back-ups. Should do fine for the first five weeks

MJD - 9

Thomas, Pierre - 10

Benson, Cedric - 6

Smith, Kevin - 7

Jennings, Rashard - 9

Happy with these. Three strong RB's in first four rounds. Hope Smith returns from his knee injury and Jennings is insurance.

Ochocinco, Chad - 6

Houshmandzadeh, TJ - 5

Floyd, Malcolm - 10

Thomas, Devin - 9

Royal, Eddie - 9

Jones, James - 10

Hartline, Brian - 5

Really tried to stay away from bye issues here. Very happy to get Thomas, Royal, and Jones in the later rounds. Saw most of my "want" list get picked moments before my draft slot. Really fun drafting with this league.

Winslow, Kellan - 4

Heap, Todd - 8

Watson, Ben - 8

Lewis, Marcedes - 9

Run on TE's really hurt me here. Serviceable, but lots of question marks here.

Nedney, Joe - 9

Carpenter, Billy - 5

Kasay, John - 6

Very late picking kickers.

San Fran - 9

NYG - 8

Grabbed 2 strong DEF's with no bye issues.

Could have done better with some selections but I missed the runs on a couple of occasions. Looking forward to a good start to the season.

3 key things about this draft for me:

1) I was picking out of the 11 spot, which had me thinking WR/WR, but when Fitz and AJ went off before my pick at 11 (was afraid they would) and Turner still sitting there...well, I knew a decent WR (Moss or Wayne or Roddy) would be there after the turn).

2) I promised myself no QB until at least the 7th. With only 4 pts for a TD and it being best ball, I figured I could patch together a couple of decent ones that would give me a chance, while building a stronger all around team at the positions that get PPR + 6 point TDs.

3) With only playing through the first 5 weeks, I gave a slight "uptick" to players that didn't have a bye in the first 5 - but didn't shy away from good players who did. When I did draft a player that had an early bye, I tried to pick up an extra player at that position to balance it (hence 3 defenses)

QBs

Flacco, Joe BAL QB - 8

Leftwich, Byron PIT QB (P) - 5

Moore, Matt CAR QB - 6

I really liked what I got here, considering I didn't take any QB until the 7th. Snagging Lefty in the 20th in a league that only plays the first 5 weeks, I thought was a nice gamble.

RBs

Brown, Donald IND RB - 7

Forte, Matt CHI RB - 8

Jones, Thomas KCC RB (P) - 4

Tate, Ben HOU RB (Q) - 7

Turner, Michael ATL RB - 8

This is probably my weakest spot - but given the .5 PPR, Forte (if he's the 60 in the 60/40) or Brown could be big. It's only .5 PPR for RBs, so Turner is still, IMHO, an RB1 - albiet a little lower than in non-PPR.

WRs

Aromashodu, Devin CHI WR - 8

Bennett, Earl CHI WR (P) - 8

Bess, Davone MIA WR - 5

Britt, Kenny TEN WR (P) - 9

Driver, Donald GBP WR (P) - 10

Moss, Randy NEP WR - 5

Rice, Sidney MIN WR (Q) - 4

Tate, Golden SEA WR - 5

The reason for highlighting 4, even though we start 3 is the bye week issue. Moss and Rice will have to serve as alternate WR1s those two weeks. I think Britt is a little undervalued - and is a solid #3 (he lead the team in receiving as a rookie - I expect him to do the same, but even moreso in 2010). I also think Rice's ADP has dipped due to the hip injury - unwarrentedly so. Most people had Rice as a borderline WR1 - I still think he is. I also think one of the two Bear WRs could post a big week or two in the Martz offense. I also like Bess in PPR, with Marshall taking the heat off.

TEs

Gates, Antonio SDC TE (P) - 10

Gresham, Jermaine CIN TE - 6

Gronkowski, Rob NEP TE - 5

I half-jokingly turned to my son when I drafted Gates and said "Championship!" (Or at least figured he gives me a chance to be in the top 4 after 5 weeks). With VJax out and a rookie RB being worked in to the offense, I can see the Chargers leaning on Gates...HARD - especially the first few weeks.

K

Bryant, Matt ATL PK - 8

Hartley, Garrett NOS PK - 10

Having the kicker on a great indoor offense is always a plus - although the "indoor" thing isn't as big a deal in the early part of the season. With kickers scoring, you never know - so I got two.

DEF

Dolphins, Miami MIA Def - 5

Texans, Houston HOU Def - 7

Vikings, Minnesota MIN Def - 4

For what it's worth, MFL said they thought I had the 2nd best draft. :hot:

In summary, my team is a little heavy in the week 4 and week 5 byes, but I think that is why some value fell to me. IMHO, I have one stud at each position (except for maybe QB, but I am high on Flacco) and several players that can jump up and have big weeks rounding out the RB and WR positions.

I like my chances, but good luck to all. :yes:

 
Thanks. Found it. Not sure the rankings mean anything though as it is based on a full-season schedule. Some very even teams in the league. Should be fun.

ETA: Jeff Tefertiller's team looks good

Oh - I agree with the rankings not meaning much (hence the "FWIW"). It does look like a very good league, it was a fun draft - although frustrating as I would would sit through 14 or 15 picks betwenn my big gaps, watching a guy I had pegged fall...and fall...and fall...right to...the GUY WHO PCIKED RIGHT BEFORE ME!!! At least 2 or 3 times, a guy I had penciled in (and this was later in the draft - when guys are expected to fall a little) would get sniped a pick or two before me. But that's what makes it good - lot's of good players.

MFL's rankings are a joke...partly because they're based on a full season.DD's team rankings had Team Renesauz in 1st, narrowly over Jeff T., based solely on the first five weeks. Team Smack, who MFL loved (wonder why?), was a very, very, distant also ran. Something about picking multiple players with early season suspensions! :goodposting:

 
In prior versions of Ultimate survivor, I was not one to shy away from early bye weeks. There are many strategies in this contest which stress avoiding those byes like the plague. While I'm NOT of that belief, I do think they are a significant factor to consider. With that in mind, I ended up with almost no early bye players other then the NE RB trio. That wasn't so much because of how much I was avoiding them as it was how much 5 or 6 squads in this contest were IGNORING them. Most star players were going at or near their normal ADP's, regardless of bye weeks. (Those which didn't, were only different by a few picks.) IN the middle rounds, if I saw two similar players, I was taking the one without a bye.

Jeff T. was a thorn in my side in this draft as he sniped my pick in at least 4 different rounds. Not sure if that's a good sign, or a bad one......

5.07 Kolb, Kevin PHI QB

9.07 Stafford, Matthew DET QB

21.07 Edwards, Trent BUF QB

AT QB, I knew I wanted Kolb, and was willing to reach (slightly) to make sure I got him. Philly's offense is EXPLOSIVE and Kolb will throw for a ton of yards. Philly has a very tough schedule this year, but it's actually not that bad in weeks 1-5. FWIW, the DD had him as the 4th or 5th ranked QB for weeks 1-5. Although I like Stafford as a QB2, I wasn't very comfortable with two extremely young QB's, so added Edwards late. All three are in play all five weeks and I expect top 3-4 QB production out of this group (flame away).

3.07 McCoy, LeSean PHI RB

7.07 Harrison, Jerome CLE RB

10.06 Maroney, Laurence NEP RB

14.06 Buckhalter, Correll DEN RB

17.07 Faulk, Kevin NEP RB

18.06 Bell, Mike PHI RB

24.06 Morris, Sammy NEP RB

With only 1/2 ppr for RB's, I knew I wanted to hit WR's and TE's a little harder, and cobble together a RB group. I like McCoy where I got him for the 1/2 PPR, but don't feel like he was a very good value there. Had I waited any longer, this RB crew would have been a disaster. Maroney is a low cost high upside pick. I had no intentions of cuffing him, but the RB's continued to be (IMO) over-valued in this draft, and viable alternatives just didn't surface at prices I liked. Morris in the 24th is fumble insurance, as he'd likely see the bulk of NE carries should Maroney find himself out of favor again. Faulk was insurance of a different kind, and is a nice value in the 17th in his own right, as he'll see a handful of touches every week regardless of who the primary ballcarrier is. I'm not a big fan of Harrison, but I figure he should at least start the season as the primary ball carrier and justify his cost. Bell is a pure cuff for McCoy, but may steal enough GL carries to contribute even if McCoy is healthy. A pretty MEH group, but it should suffice in a league that doesn't stress RB's.

1.07 Fitzgerald, Larry ARI WR

2.06 Jennings, Greg GBP WR

6.06 Mason, Derrick BAL WR

8.06 Evans, Lee BUF WR

11.07 Douglas, Harry ATL WR

13.07 Thomas, Mike JAC WR

23.07 Gibson, Brandon STL WR

I LOVE this group! Fitz will still get his, and so will Jennings. Mason and Evans are both, IMO, solid WR3 options. Douglas may be the SOD with the injuries in front of him n Atlanta, and may produce as a WR2/3 for the early part of the season. Thomas is a dark horse to be an every week contributor, He's a rookie on a marginal team, but he may be the #1 in Tampa by the end of camp. Gibson is one of favorite late sleepers. Only 7 guys, but NONE with a bye.

4.06 Clark, Dallas IND TE

12.06 Olsen, Greg CHI TE

A bit of a risk with Clark, but all indications are that he should be ready by week 1. IN the mid fourth, I though he represented appropriate risk/reward. Olsen is a top end TE2/low end TE1 with some upside, making this a top TE pair as long as Clark is healthy. I debated adding a third, but felt it better to use that late pick elsewhere.

16.06 Colts, Indianapolis IND Def

20.06 Falcons, Atlanta ATL Def

Both of these squads were ranked higher in the week 1-5 DD rankings then in the full season rankings. Still a pretty average group, but I took them later then a lot of other squads did. I had two DST's qued for my last pick, but they both went in the few picks before mine and I decided to take the Maroney cuff instead.

15.07 Akers, David PHI PK

19.07 Graham, Shayne BAL PK

22.06 Janikowski, Sebastian OAK PK

Kickers are unpredictable...which is why they (rightfully) always go so late in drafts. In leagues where you have to submit a lineup, one kicker is plenty. IN 18 man survivor (BB) leagues, a lot of guys still take only one kicker, not wanting to waste a precious roster spot on such a gamble. With 24 man rosters...I think this dynamic reverses. Three (or even four) kickers make a lot of sense in a league like this one. This is even more true since we're only playing for five weeks (therefore injuries are a lesser concern at other postions). IMHO, 3 kickers will almost always outscore 2, even if ranked lower, in this type of format.

Overall, I like my chances to advance. Only 3 players with a bye (albeit at the same position), and top groups at WR and TE should be enough. RB is a concern, but only a mild one.

Strategy Overview from draft spot 12:

--ran 20 mocks simulations and NEVER once finished with top 4 strongest team and so was pretty sure I'd have to grab risky upside players to have a shot

--in the 20 mocks I went either WR/WR or WR/RB (based on whether MTurner or SJackson fell to 1.12)

--not ONCE in any mock did either Brees or Rodgers fall to 1.12 so of course in reality there was Rodgers

--my thoughts immediately were to stick to the WR/WR plan (since Turner/SJax were gone) then i thought to myself "you idiot in 20 mocks you never had higher than the 7th strongest team so roll the dice here since GB schedule is very easy Weeks 1-5"

--picking at the tail end turn there are 20+ players that you simply don't have to consider, the 7 or 8 that will definitely be gone by 1.12 and the 12 or 13 that are not good enough to take at the first turn but will have no chance of making it to the second turn

12.01 Favre, Brett MIN QB (P) - 4 - didn't want or need him but this was more of playing keep away from some teams who may be way weak at QB and get to snag a top QB cheaply

20.01 Freeman, Josh TBB QB - 4 - more keep away from the weak QB squads trying to grab a 3rd QB and really nothing better on draft board by then to help elsewhere

2.01 Rodgers, Aaron GBP QB - 10 - he has to perform or I'm toast

I guess I should have the best QB staff in the league if Favre comes back and maybe even if he doesn't since GB schedule is easy IMO, Rodgers has to produce overall but especially in week 4 as he's all by himself. Several folks here it seems were planning on using the QBBC plan (elite QBs plummeted) so I tried to ruin that somewhat by grabbing Favre and Freeman even when not needed

4.01 Addai, Joseph IND RB - 7 - key to my team, missed on the DBrown handcuff by one pick so maybe Addai will be the one to own early

6.01 Bush, Michael OAK RB - 10 - reached a little but you have to at the turns AND i think he's gonna be huge this year plus OAK scehdule isn't tuff weeks 1-5

13.12 Johnson, Larry WAS RB - 9 - handcuff

8.01 Portis, Clinton WAS RB - 9 - ALMOST went MBarber/FJones at the 7.12/8.01 turn but I think Portis has one more year

18.01 Ward, Derrick TBB RB - 4 - handcuff

9.12 Williams, Carnell TBB RB - 4 - last RB in his tier and more than half the next tier was gone

have 4 solid RB (or RB tandems) and just need two of four per week, i try to make the weakness of my team have depth at least and i think i have

3.12 Crabtree, Michael SFO WR (P) - 9 - had him in all 20 of my mocks at exactly this spot

10.01 Edwards, Braylon NYJ WR - 7 - was going to pick DBrown here but missed by one spot, maybe Braylon will shine in SHolmes absence

17.12 Gonzalez, Anthony IND WR (P) - 7 - with Wayne, have two Indy WRs that have nice easy opening 5 week schedule

7.12 Harvin, Percy MIN WR (P) - 4 - key to my team, i love homerun hitters in allplay/bestball and the great thing about migraines is they keep him from getting hurt in training camp which he can't work with his QB Favre anyway even if he was in camp so he isn't missing anything

21.12 Johnson, Steve BUF WR - 6 - last "starting" WR available so took a flier

15.12 McCluster, Dexter KCC WR - 4 - another homerun hitter

1.12 Wayne, Reggie IND WR - 7 - easy schedule, but I don't need the Wayne I saw at end of 2009 season/playoffs or I'm toast

19.12 Williams, Roy DAL WR - 4 - meh, only a factor if Dez injury lingers

Wayne and Crabtree are anchors, need Harvin and McCluster to make big plays, and Braylon to produce sans SHolmes. Passed on JMorgan/KWalter/TOwens to make RBs and K/Def a lil stronger so I hope that doesn't come back to bite me. I was very disheartened when Romo went 6th round and Brady went 8th as bye weeks shoudn't mean that much. If i'd've known that fact, i'd've taken RMoss/RWhite/Calvin at 2.01 instead of Rodgers

11.12 Keller, Dustin NYJ TE - 7 - ONLY player that I passed on that made it back around to the next turn, he's gonna be huge, and he has to show up week 4. i think he is THE jets passcatcher to have pre-Holmes arrival

5.12 Witten, Jason DAL TE - 4 - last in a tier pick and I like those

Should be a strength. I paired up Keller to Braylon in SHolmes absence and Witten to RoyW with Dez injury. Who knows if that'll matter but those are two solid teams that should score. Another Week 4 bye alert

16.01 Crosby, Mason GBP PK - 10 - almost went JMorgan here for WR depth but 0.1 per yard is pretty huge K scoring

24.01 Gano, Graham WAS PK - 9 - I think WASH gonna score and their 1-5 schedule is hard enough to where I think they're gonna be some TD opprtunities turn into FG opportunities

14.01 Chargers, San Diego SDC Def - 10 - IMO easiest schedule in football weeks 1-5 and they had 6 or 7 sacks in first pre-season game

22.01 Panthers, Carolina CAR Def - 6 - another easy schedule

23.12 Redskins, Washington WAS Def - 9 - grabbing the third defense which was the plan

I like 3 non-bye week DST's to choose from and 2 kickers should be okay

post draft summary: in 2008 and 2009, the bye weeks did not cause players to fall this dramatically and I was able to pick entire teams with no byes and made it to semis and finals easily and finished third overall last year. It seems that the masses have caught on to this as even elite bye week players plummeted in the ADP area. I eventually just grabbed several for value but unfortunately they were all week 4 so i need either a decent lead to survive a 3-8 or 4-7 week OR bigtime production from my non week 4 bye studs. If I get that I have a shot as my squad graded out in 3rd overall in strength which was much better than the mocks. My key players are Harvin, Addai, and either of my WAS or TB handcuffed RBBCs.

good luck to all, I'm not feelin as good about this group as the last two years. Maybe it's just the lack of a stud elite WR/RB anchor swapped for a QB as the anchor

First off, this was a really enjoyable draft. Lots of laughs in the draft commentary, and everyone seemed to have a great time.

Being new to the Survivor format, my strategy was a work in progress that got derailed pretty quick. There were times where I wound up being reactive instead of proactive, and kind of lost my footing. Consequently, I think I might have reached a bit too much at times and waited too long at others.

McNabb, Donovan WAS QB - 9

Sanchez, Mark NYJ QB - 7

I avoided a QB early, and when I got around to it late in the 8th round, it wound up coming at the tail end of a run. I would have preferred one of the QBs that went earlier in that run, but McNabb should be interesting over the first 5 weeks. I also should have grabbed another QB in addition to Sanchez, because looking at the schedules, there is probably a tough week or two heading my way next month.

Foster, Arian HOU RB - 7

Jones, Julius SEA RB - 5

Mathews, Ryan SDC RB - 10

Peterson, Adrian MIN RB (P) - 4

Taylor, Chester CHI RB - 8

I couldn't pass on Peterson with the 4th pick. I know a lot of folks just rule out a guy with a bye as their 1st pick in this format, but I really had no choice at this spot. When he is on a bye, I'm hoping that 2 of the other 3 backs (Ryan Mathews, Chester Taylor and Arian Foster) save my bacon. If my team has a strength, I feel it's with those RBs.

Avery, Donnie STL WR - 9

Benn, Arrelious TBB WR - 4

Bryant, Dez DAL WR (Q) - 4

Chambers, Chris KCC WR - 4

Colston, Marques NOS WR - 10

Garcon, Pierre IND WR - 7

Henderson, Devery NOS WR - 10

Hester, Devin CHI WR - 8

Moore, Lance NOS WR - 10

Williams, Mike TBB WR - 4

Williams, Roydell WAS WR - 4

Part of my strategy at WR with the All Play format was to try and bottle up several wide-outs on a high scoring offense, hence the pile of Saints.

I happen to like Garcon a lot this year, and I have high hopes for Hester and Dez Bryant, but week 4 could be a disaster if I get hit with some injuries.

Davis, Vernon SFO TE (Q) - 9

Hernandez, Aaron NEP TE - 5

Last night I was happy enough with Davis, that I neglected TE until the later stages of the draft.

Today, I'm a little annoyed with myself after Vernon went and got himself banged up a bit. Yikes.

Brown, Kris HOU PK - 7

Gould, Robbie CHI PK - 8

If the Bears offense gets on track this year the way I think it could, Robbie Gould could be busy.

Broncos, Denver DEN Def - 9

Ravens, Baltimore BAL Def - 8

Not sure if the Ravens are going to solve their Secondary problems, or if the Broncos can be stout without Elvis.

did you think you drafted Mike Williams instead of Mike Thomas?

First off, this was a really enjoyable draft. Lots of laughs in the draft commentary, and everyone seemed to have a great time.

Being new to the Survivor format, my strategy was a work in progress that got derailed pretty quick. There were times where I wound up being reactive instead of proactive, and kind of lost my footing. Consequently, I think I might have reached a bit too much at times and waited too long at others.

:kicksrock:Was writing too quickly this AM. :pickle:Like Thomas there too, obviously...I drafted him. IN fact...I like it more then I would have Williams :jawdrop:
 
Well, good luck everyone

i started 0-11 so just having a chance this week is gravy (i think i'm 3rd or 4th)

oh and Crabtree/Portis/Caddy/Harvin/MBush were in my top 10 picks LOL

i honestly will have to study just HOW i even have a shot ... i think his name may be Dustin Keller

i may just luck out if Addai/MBush do well this week as my other positions are doin well

 
Sweet. The trade allows Moss to start when he otherwise would have had a bye! (Well, unless you count last week as his bye...)

 
well looks like Snellman and Lash sewed up spots 2 and 3 with big weeks (paulpogo already had his locked at 1)

mathematically 4th spot still open

Tefertiller sits at 22 wins and can grab an 11-0 week with a nice outing from LT which would jump him to 33 wins

Tefertiller is currently in 3rd this week in scoring but has LT (-0.60) and Cotchery (-15.0) and needs to gain about 10 points on Lash and Snellman for 11-0 record

DoubleG sits at 26 wins and is middle of pack in scoring this week so far

DoubleG 125.6 and Randy Moss (-1.60) and Minny DEF (-4.00)

too lazy to check the 3 or 4 people DoubleG could pass to see if they can hold off
