Blount and Kendricks. Should be an interesting year for me if at least one takes off.

Great thread idea. Too many clowns posting their roster.
AJ, CJ, VJ, etc. are not "all in" bets. Please.

Tolbert, Tate or Delone Carter....need one of those guys to approach RB2 numbers because my starters are Rice and Felix Jones....one of them will not finish the season. If I had to go all in - I guess I am going Tolbert.

I have Reggie Bush on 3 of my 4 teams and am counting on him to a various degree in each case.
Same with Tampa Mike, who I have as either a #1 or #2 WR on 3 of my 4 teams.
Long term, I own Cam Newton on all 3 of my dynasty teams (including a couple start 2 QB leagues) and would love if he at least shows some positive signs this season.

Beanie and Aaron Hernandez
I;m kinda all in on Beanie Wells. I like him a lot as a RB 2 this year and got him in the early 4th round ahead of guys ranked higher.
I do have depth at RB (Benson, Ingram, Helu) so it's not that bad.
They way I got the RB depth was to go ALL IN on Hernandez at TE. Waited til 10th round to get him, andhe's my only TE. I will pick up Kendricks if I get worried about TE I guess.

Winner of the thread so far.THIS is all-in, you roster-posting guppies.

Footballguy
haha. This may not top that, but to expand on my previous post, I have Reggie Bush as basically a RB1 in a 14 team dynasty. The rest of the team is good enough to be competitive only if Bush puts up 240 points or so.

Your interpitation of "all in" is bound to be different than others. For me, I think guys that I am getting in every league is all in. I don't believe it has anything to do with how risky a move is.

I've waited on the TE position in nearly every league I play in, so I ended up getting Kendricks in all but one league. The one league where I didn't draft him, I got him off waivers and plan on playing him over none other than Dallas Clark. 
So yeah, I'm all in on him. If he performs well, I could win every league. If not, then it'll be a struggle to make the playoffs in every league.

Why wouldnt you take a guy in the 11th+ round on the cheap with a high floor like an Olsen, Gonzo, Hernandez and back them up with Kendricks? As much as I like Kendricks and thinks he has a breakout year, I didnt draft him as my TE1. Thats your own fault if thats what you did.I've waited on the TE position in nearly every league I play in, so I ended up getting Kendricks in all but one league.

I should probably rephrase. No, he's not my only rostered TE in all my leagues. In fact, he won't be starting week 1 on any of my teams. But he's the only guy I have on every roster with my name at the top.So I guess my investment in him isn't as deep as say...someone who has Stafford as their starting QB in every league, or Felix Jones as their RB1. But he's the only consistent piece in all of my teams, and for that reason, I'm clearly "all-in" on his talent.

I wouldnt start Kendricks in a league where you have a Top 5 TE, but Philly's LBs are atrocious whereas their CBs are stacked, their starting D has struggled in the preseason as a unit, and obviously no STL WR has had a chance to step up. Im starting Kendricks over Winslow in my 2 money leagues

I'm on the fence regarding whether I'll start him over Clark or Olsen, (I forget that I have Witten in one league; definitely not starting him there) but considering all of my leagues allow a TE in the flex, that's probably where he'll end up. Bradford will have to throw to keep up with Philly, and the scrubs that are his outside receiving options will be covered by guys named Asomugha and Samuel. Watch Kendricks go to town on that weak Eagles' linebacker group.7/89/2I wouldnt start Kendricks in a league where you have a Top 5 TE, but Philly's LBs are atrocious whereas their CBs are stacked, their starting D has struggled in the preseason as a unit, and obviously no STL WR has had a chance to step up.

Manningham in multiple leagues - he was my one must have. Thought he could up WR1A #'s and be the perfect WR2.
Like a lot of others, I need a RB2 to come through. So I'll group them together - need Hightower, Moreno or Starks to be startable.

So you don't think your team will make the playoffs if your backup TE does not perform well. OK.

I am in the same exact predicament. Here is my post for this thread. http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=608721&view=findpost&p=13493597For some reason, I lost my mind and completely passed on 2 of the top 5 rb's when they were on the board at pick #6 this past Friday in my 12-team ppr. I got immediate jitters at the notion of selecting Foster or Charles and instead went with Andre Johnson and then Hicks later in the 2nd round. The rb's for my squad are Best, DeAngelo, Tolbert, Dan Thomas, and Delone Carter. Yikes.

Fun thread..CBenson, Reg Bush, Britt and Stafford have shown up on a lot of my redraft FF rosters... a full season from Mstafford would be interesting for my ff teams season...

Keep hunting the waiver wire... if hightower starts fumbling his present backup could be a great mined find... Its a long FF season.. and where you finish is more important than were you start.. I have rbush in a league or two and what if he becomes the guy in miami.. not predicting based on past history but its like a bluff in poker.. it might work but you wont know till you try...

Does anyone have a big name drop that was used on any of the hyped players? Id say that would be considered all in (maybe close to being up there w/ all your waiver cash)
I dropped Jennings when I heard crutches (already concerned w offense) also dropped DX (think that may be a oops) Torain (think he still has a shot to produce myself, but Hightower would be the vultcher imo) and last but not least Breaston
Theres a chance I can go in another direction, but basically Antonio Brown is currently in my lineup (return yds count too)
I know maybe these dont sound like big names (just giving my ex. from 12 man dyn) As a matter of fact in all honesty, the player "Im all in on" is proably Alex Henry (I knew that I would miss my draft so I set my predraft & tried to counter for not hitting on too many players, which would have left me w/ leftovers for IDP. Basically I may have ranked Henry a little to high, but I was still tickled pink to land Cobb in a late Rnd. I probably didnt fair as well in the draft as some, but besides Alex, I also have Cobb, Hunter, Ponder (McNabb's backup) and Little thanx to the wire!
I would love to put Kendricks in a TE/WR flex spot, but is anyone dropping a guy like Greg Little to do it? Im enjoying the thread in reguards to players ie. RB's selected to produce (heck Ive owned Shonn Greene since Rookie draft) so keep em commin, but if anybody has a big name drop, please share that too!
p.s. Anyone owning Finley, did you take DJ Williams for backup? (I know hes like 4th on depth chart) or plan to after wk 8?

I'm a little unclear on what qualifies as an acceptable answer, but I'm only in 2 leagues this year, and Blount is my RB1 and VJax is my WR1 in both of them. So since my success this season is tied in large part to their success, I think it's fair to say I'm "all in" on those two guys. Again, I'm not entirely sure what Mr. Roboto was looking for with this question. The way I see it, the term "all in" is a poker term, and I can just as easily go "all in" on pocket aces as J-9 off suit, so I think this is a fair answer.
As an aside, I also drafted Marshawn Lynch and Willis McGahee in both of my leagues. While they are not necessarily starters and I don't feel like I'm "all in" on them, it would certainly be a big boost for me if they perform above expectations.

Looks like I'm all in with Wayne. Have him in both of my dynasties and one of my redrafts for 3 of 5 total. I was planning on getting another half season out of him and then if he was doing well look into trading him mid-season in the dynasties. Now I have to hope Collins zeros in on him and throws every pass that way.

S Moss has dropped way too far in all my leagues so I've consistently picked him up. He's been greatly undervalued. Could be top 18 in PPRs.
Same with Jared Cook. Picked him up in every league. Could easily end up a top 10 TE.

Not analogous, because as Bloom pointed out to those of us who raised this objection after the draft is that McDaniels fingerprints were all on the selection of Kendricks and that McDaniels wants to use Kendricks similarly to the way NE used Hernandez and Gronkowski last season.
