ULTIMATE SURVIVOR-Leg 1- League 6 (1 Viewer)

Overall impression: I like my QB and RB situations (even if I do have to root for the Dallas offense). My WR setup, especially with Marshall up in the air, scares me. I can't wait for September to roll around. Comments or opinions on my roster are welcomed. :popcorn:
My concern for your squad is the limited number of WRs you will have in weeks 4/5. You are relying on 5 receivers to fill 3 spots in week 4 when your opponents will probably have many more than that. It's also the same week you lose your TE1.

I'll comment later today or on Monday, but I will say that I made the decision to reach for RB's in later rounds instead of overpaying at 1.12 or 2.01. This was the first draft that resulted in my team having zero RB's after 2 rounds.

O.K. I'll chime in with my picks. First time I've ever drafted in any kind of survivor format,interesting and I'll use it as a learning tool. That said,IF I make week four I'll have bye issues,but in week four only 1 team is eliminated,just need one or two of those late round "gems" to step up. Like most of the comments I've seen no one is completely happy with their team but with 12 teams and 22 positions everyone is "weak" somewhere. Good luck to everyone in League six,the draft(in spite of the four hour time) was interesting and fun.

QB- Jay Cutler 8

Eli Manning 4

Trent Edwards 6

RB- Willis McGahee 10

Jamal Lewis 5

Jerious Norwood 7

Ryan Torain 8

Ladell Betts 10

WR- Randy Moss 4

Roy Williams 4

Roddy White 7

Chris Chambers 9

Sidney Rice 8

Donnie Avery 5

Arnaz Battle 9

TE- Ben Watson 4

Donald Lee 8

Dustin Keller 5

PK- Rob Bironas 6

Taylor Mehlhaff 9

DEF- Seattle 4

NY Jets 9

 
BTW - "the peanut gallery" above was a collection of one - Ever Present Lurker.
Eh? I wasn't the one talking about the Edge pick...ETA: LOL oh wait, I did. But I was just joking with him, it was a solid pick
:unsure:Yeah - it was the jokes that made the peanut gallery. I don't recall anyone seriously giving him heck about it except the Commissioner. But that guy gives everyone heck about any pick.

Big understatement here.I think you'll make week 4 unless something bizarre happens - you actually have a solid team. But week 4 will absolutely kill you - you lose 5 players, including your QB2, a D, your TE1, and your WR 1/2. that is giving up way too many chances for a huge score from someone to make sure you ar enot the worst that week.But, I watched Will Grant make it to the final three of a survivor league - of serious players, too - without a QB for much of the year. So weirder things have happened.

I'm not gonna disagree with you Marc. There are 2 other teams with 5 byes in week 4 and one with 6. I'm hoping they all make week 4,then I'll just have to top 1 of them. At least that's how I'll look at it. Injuries could play a key role for everyone too,the first week is a long way off and training camps and pre-season games will take their toll for a few teams here I'm sure.

* = autopick

My team is ok. I'm not doing carthwheels here. I really apologize for not being able to finish the draft, but it's just not safe for me to work on almost no sleep.

I'm solid at WR 1-3, but I paid the price in RB depth. LT is a great RB1, but then the cliff arrives. Rudi is the default RB2, but realistically, I'm just hoping between him, Fargas and Bradshaw, I can get solid RB2 numbers somewhere. I'll be without a kicker in week 4, which is less than ideal, but them's the breaks when autodraft takes the reigns.

So we'll see. If my studs show up, I ought to be able to compete, but if any of my big guns have an off day, it could be a quick season for me.

It was fun guys, wish I could have finished it out!

If Favre retires or signs with the Jets (week 5 bye), you are in trouble. I would have wanted a better #2 QB with my starting QB being one with an injury history like Bulger has.
If is the operative word here. I know I'm thin at backup Qb and if Favre goes to the Jets, I'm screwed but if he comes back to QB for a team not on a bye week 5, I have potentially 2 top 10 Qb's. Gotta take some risks to reap any rewards. :goodposting:

IMO, risks are much better suited in a head to head league than in a Survivor league. The goal is not to be the highest scorer each week. The goal is to not be one of the lowest two scoring teams each week.Scoring the most points in the first 4 weeks but the lowest in another will get you booted. I'd rather be assured of being above average scoring than roll the dice with bye week exposure.

We shall see. I don't think Favre makes it to the Jets.

Well, I was put in a sticky situation when more RB's fell off the board than I had predicted. I was banking on adding Lynch, Portis, or Gore and then BAM...they were all gone. I made the quick decision to grab my projected #2 and #3 Wr's.....Owens and A. Johsnon. I could have overpaid and grabbed Jones-Drew or McGahee, but I refused to pull the trigger. This is the first draft I have ever had, that resulted in my team having zero RB's after the 2nd round.I was hoping Jamal Lewis would fall to me at 3.12, but saw him and Willie Parker fall right before my turn. My value was now at QB....Brees should add consistent totals to my line-up and help steady the blow from my first RB being McFadden. The league had a chance to bury my team, but instead they gave me hope by allowing me to land Julius Jones and Fred Taylor at 5.12 and 6.01. By adding F. Jones and Chris Johnson at RB, I feel as though I have made my RB tandem "average". Of my remaining WR's.... Booker, Webb, Meachem, and Berrian..... I'm confident that 1 of them will step up weekly in support of Owens and AJ.McMichael and Olsen should be a respectable TE tandem (really hoping for good production from McMichael).I can't end without saying that my depth at QB should carry me through any weeks that Brees may stumble. If he is out of the gate like last year, I may need to use a week or two from Schaub or Garcia.Lastly, I covered my bye weeks well!! Many owners here are only getting 4/5 of the production that my guys will be getting. I'm anxious for week 1, as I would like to see if my RB situation will kill me. I'm confident it won't......but on paper it could be my achilles heel.E

I am pretty happy with my team. If I had it to do over again, I might have picked up a QB sooner, but I don't think my QB's will hurt me. I only have the Giants D on a bye in week 4 and no one else. To paraphrase Ludkin, I don't have to run faster than the bear, I just have to run faster than the slowest guy(s) each week. I think I put myself in position to do that. I believe my chances lie with Portis and Jones-Drew doing decently. If they are productive i think I have everything else covered. Although I was coveting a Scheffler/Owens duo at TE.

 
I'll have some work to do to cover the byes but if I make it there, this lineup could do well...1. Bulger, Marc STL QB 5 2. Favre, Brett FA* QB

Well, I rolled the dice and it came up snake eyes. Given the fact that I was considering choosing Boller in the later rounds to cover the bye, it's a wash :bye:
 
Looking back . . .

Palmer, Carson CIN QB - 8 6.10

Leinart, Matt ARI QB - 7 10.10

Warner, Kurt ARI QB - 7 12.10

Smith, Alex SFO QB - 9 18.10

Palmer and Warner should be more than sufficient. Smith, not so much.

Westbrook, Brian PHI RB - 7 1.03

Grant, Ryan GBP RB - 8 3.03

Forte, Matt CHI RB ® - 8 5.03

Jackson, Brandon GBP RB - 8 14.10

Booker, Lorenzo PHI RB - 7 19.03

Westbrook, Grant, and Forte should give me above average production each week if healthy.

Fitzgerald, Larry ARI WR - 7 2.10

Galloway, Joey TBB WR - 10 7.03

Mason, Derrick BAL WR - 10 8.10

Bruce, Isaac SFO WR - 9 9.03

Walker, Javon OAK WR - 5 11.03

Patten, David NOS WR - 9 13.03

Wilford, Ernest MIA WR - 4 15.03

McDonald, Shaun DET WR - 4 21.03

Walker hasn't exactly made a name for himself and Wilford lost his job. But Fitz, Galloway, Mason, Bruce, and Patten still should be productive.

Witten, Jason DAL TE - 10 4.10

Still one of the Top 3 TEs.

Gould, Robbie CHI PK - 8 20.10

Hanson, Jason DET PK - 4 22.10

Colts, Indianapolis IND Def - 4 16.10

Titans, Tennessee TEN Def - 6 17.03

Not the greatest but passable.

 
Grossman, Rex CHI QB 8

---f'ing terrible. I must have been really drunk at this point in the draft

Manning, Peyton IND QB 4

Rodgers, Aaron GBP QB 8

---Manning scared me, but I think one of these two will put up big numbers week to week

Faulk, Kevin NEP RB 4

Gore, Frank SFO RB 9

Maroney, Laurence NEP RB 4

McAllister, Deuce NOS RB 9

Young, Selvin DEN RB 8

---What a pile of "meh." Gore is Gore, the rest are question marks at best

Boldin, Anquan ARI WR 7

---solid if unhappy

Brown, Reggie PHI WR 7

---gimpy and underacheiving

Engram, Bobby SEA WR 4

-he died recently. RIP, jerkass

Gaffney, Jabar NEP WR 4

Gage, Justin TEN WR 6

Ginn Jr., Ted MIA WR 4

Randle El, Antwaan WAS WR 10

Williamson, Troy JAC WR 7

---another pile of puke. My God what the hell was I doing?

Lewis, Marcedes JAC TE 7

Winslow, Kellen CLE TE 5

---Finally, a non-crappy position. I need Winslow to catch 4 TD's a week to make up for my awful receivers.

Brown, Kris HOU PK 8

Crosby, Mason GBP PK 8

Bears, Chicago CHI Def 8

Steelers, Pittsburgh PIT Def 6

---These are defenses and kickers.

I'm doomed.

 
ARRRGHHH, Stinking Brady Injury. Here's hoping Tarvaris Jackson can replicate Brady's numbers for the next 5 weeks. :shrug:

My team was looking promising too...How does everyone else in this league feel today? Bloody weekend...

 
Sooo....my team blows, but I think I may have skirted by. I kinda forget the rules, though. Do the bottom two get eliminated or something like that? :kicksrock:

Here's where we are at with MNF to go. Top 4 advance, Bottom 2 go home.

David Yudkin: I am in the clubhouse with a score of 130.5. I'm going to decalre myself in for the next round.

Master of Past & Present: Has 113.4 with Longwell (-12.2) to go tonight.

Eraser: 97.5 points so far with Brees (-7.3), Berrian (-3.7), and Meachem (-13.5) still remaining.

Mik789fl: 93.5 scored so far with only Rice (-9.6) left.

Reflint: 72.0 with the Saints (-8.0) defense left. Will need a miracle to advance.

Plastik: Low man right now (64.9) but should make a big run tonight. Still has ADP (-1.6), Bush (-5.0), and the Vikings defense (-6.0).

Good Luck to all...... I rode the rookie RB's to this point, hopefully Brees lives up to his 3rd round draft slot tonight!!E
 
What do the numbers in () mean? I thought maybe it was points that player would have to score to get into the starting line-up but my other kicker had only 3 extra points so I doubt that equals 12.2 points.

Brees(-7.3), for example, means that the other QB scored 7.3. In order to start using Brees, he needs to score over 7.3. But, for the purpose of the total score, since there is already 7.3 points included, Brees score will be less 7.3. So if Brees scores 15 points, only 7.7 would be added to the total score.

I suspected that but my number must be wrong as Scobee only kicked 3 extra points and I see no record of him doing any non-kicker plays. Someone else must have scored 12.2 and got put there by mistake.
