Website Experts League draft (1 Viewer)

Looks like a start 2 QB btw they flew off the baord
scoring is a little QB heavy/heavier than normalSome took em early, some stayed with the common wait on QBs and draft em' late approachI got Brady(16th in this scoring last year) and then backed him up with Vince.
 
I only recognise a few of these sites. How did they get picked and who runs the league?

Just curious. Interesting draft otherwise.

 
probably one of the best "experts" draft i've seen this year. although thats not saying much. one would have to wonder what monstersdraft.com was thinking. holt at 1.08? going WR for first 3 picks. he did get good value with gates at 4.05, but dunn, deangelo, and fatdale is one sorry corps of RB's.

 
yep, sorry forgot that...yep
Then, imo you took Brady too early. Especially when following him up with Young. I actually liked Monster's cut against the grain and his ability to get STUD WRs with his first three and then still get Gates in the 4th. He still got DeAngelo Williams and Dunn. He got Hasselbeck late in the 9th. But, for a ppr league, QBs went WAY, WAY too early. For an experts league, this isn't really a very good display in my mind overall.

I think you're way off. In fact, I think this is a great start. But, I agree about fatdale. Then Galloway as his 4th WR. He still got Hasselbeck in the 9th. Very nice. Plenty of RB opportunity left.

Did FBG put a contract out on McAllister? ie mafia type?

Offhand I give the edge to Huddlegeeks.

I didn't want anyone/feel they were "worthy" of that draft pick yet when Young came up in the 7th.The WRs after Braylon took a steep drop, "junkyard jake" beat me to it.Watson and Davis went and I needed a TE but I got Witten who I like better anyhow. His tiny TD total doesn't scare me, he's a good TE IMO. Davis and Watson are too hard to figure out yet. They're awesome talents but they haven't reached any sort of consistency for week to week FF. Nevermind that the same guy drafted both. Witten I targetted and got lucky he fell in my lap there. I think LJ went a smidge early.Betts I could have taken there, but again it seemed too early. Only Lendale was taken before my next pick so I called that right. No way I was going K or D.I like Young alot and think he could really be a gem in FF this year or next. It wasn't the plan but I wasn't passing up a great player.Further, when the QB scoring is a little high and the others in the league are still doing that wait to draft a QB stuff, someone like him always presents themself. IMO If someone got him as their starter in the 8th, that'd be too much of a steal. I've got a great player and I figure once the season kicks in and someone's QB isn't scoring enough, I'll get a trade offer. I haven't decided if I'll draft another QB or not yet. I'm not grabbing a backup TE, K, or D unless there's some value. The plan is not to right now

Tommy from FF Edge runs it. He's pretty good at dealing with everyone.ExpertFF.com won it last year IIRCMoSneaky bailed last minute and Smitty stepped in.(FF Xtreme he comes here every now and then)Ya probably know of me and Jeff(wannabe) from here, Ken from here+ITS, Marc from here.Names maybe ya don't know-Junkyard Jake and Jason from Huddlegeeks are pretty sharp

At that point, what's wrong with Lendale? Curious what ya think, I was tempted then.Pretty big difference of opinion on DeAngelo out there, some really love the player.

Hey everyone, this is Smitty from FantasyFootballXtreme. Thanks for the invite, Tommy. This was an interesting draft for sure. We are pleased with our squad so far and think it will do well in this scoring format. We took a little gamble at the QB position so that we could stack other positions, but I think it turned out alright.

Not a big fan of this team. You're stacked at RB but your WRs are below average. That will kill you in a ppr league. When drafting from the 10, 11, or 12 spot in a WCOFF setup, you almost always should go with a 1 RB and 1 WR selection with your first two. It helps you accomplish the goal of getting at least one stud player (that WR1) and, most importantly, it provides for you the flexibility to take the best player on the board at any point later on in the draft. If you go RB-RB with your first two, you're almost locked into going with WRs with your next pick or two even if that is not where the value presents itself. When drafting from the back, if you go RB-RB, you hedge one of the two of them from busting for sure but your WRs are already going to be behind your competition. You were probably shocked to see Peterson still there with your 6th rounder. But, had you known he'd be there, I'm sure you would have taken WR1 with your 1st or 2nd pick, and you should have anticipated that a decent one would have been there anyway.

As a general casual observation of this draft, it seemed like many participants understood and were drafting toward the scarcity of RB value when you can start 3 of them. However, a lot of teams appeared that they forgot about the ppr part and didn't put enough emphasis on WRs early enough and throughout the draft.

Just my 2 cents.

:thumbup: Well stated about the flexibility later on related to the value that will fall.....

Also Turner at 7.12 was a Steal :lmao:

Always interesting to see how different sites approach these things or get asked in. Also, gives me new places to go -- thanks for the info!

while i don't think you necessarily should go RB/WR on the turn, you can't continually pick bakcup RBs in a start 3 WR league. you need depth and lots of it considering that between bye weeks and injuries, WR5 will be starting at least a quarter of your games throughout the season.

trying to figure out the math here, this just a "guesstimate" or just how you plan or what?

A lot of people in the WCOFF use their WR4 as their flex starter on a weekly basis. Assume each of those four WRs all have different bye weeks. That means there are at least four weeks during the regular season that you'll be starting your WR5. If you have any injuries and/or subpar underperformance from any of them, it could be a lot more weeks. The WCOFF regular season lasts only lasts 11 weeks. 4/11 = 36% of the time at a minimum, that you'd be starting your WR5. Obviously, you do have the option of starting your RB3 instead, but the point is you need much more WR depth than most people think.

start 3 WR, each have different bye then WR 4 can cover the byes.1,2,31,2,41,4,34,2,3

That definitely works. I hope you have a good RB3 though. I was lucky enough to get MJD late last year, but normally your WR4 is going to outscore more than your RB3 unless you get a late diamond in the rough. If you go for that RB3 with your fifth pick or earlier, you're going to have a hard time putting together the solid WR core that you'll need to compete on a weekly basis.

Betts, Ladell WAS RB - 4 8.06 Jones, Kevin DET RB - 6 5.07 Lewis, Jamal CLE RB - 7 6.06 Washington, Leon NYJ RB - 10 13.07 Westbrook, Brian PHI RB - 5 1.07 Bruce, Isaac STL WR - 9 10.06 Henderson, Devery NOS WR - 4 12.06 Johnson, Andre HOU WR - 10 3.07 Johnson, Chad CIN WR - 5 2.06 Williams, Reggie JAC WR - 4 14.06 Williamson, Troy MIN WR - 5 11.07 Probably a "base" ofWestbrook, Lewis, Jones, Andre, Chad and a best matchup guy
