Who do you not have on any of your teams (1 Viewer)

Obviously, if you don't have Chris Johnson you probably want him, but outside of the obvious who do you wish you had? Since people are so bias toward the players on their teams, this the best way to see who you like without bias.

I wanted Crabtree but I wasn't able to get him on any of my three teams. If I had to pick one guy who will end up a top 5 receiver that's not drafted as a top 10 one this year it'd be him. What he was able to accomplish without training camp and against defenses in mid-season form was truly amazing. He's a roll out of bed better than you type of talent.

Who's the guy you missed in your drafts?

Gates, but unless you reach if you pick at the top of the draft (where I picked this year), he just doesn't fall for you. Sad, since I seem to draft him every year as if he was a dynasty pick. Also missed in one draft on Z Miller by one pick, that smarted!

Had many chances at Crabtree and just said, "pass", no thanks

 
Percy Harvin. I targeted him in all of my leagues, but didn't land him. I'm going to put out some offers for him during the week. I know he looked pretty bad last night, but I'm still a believer.

I also would have liked to get Spiller on a team or two, but missed out on him as well.

Really wanted Reggie Bush in my PPR league. He got picked right before me and I took Forsett instead.

I'm big on Crabtree, too. Got him in 2 of 3 leagues.

Aaron Rodgers - should have had him in two leagues - but crazy owner took him at 1.1 in one league and 1.4 in another. I was at 1.12 and 1.7.

I also would have like to have landed Laurinaitis or Beason - but wound up with Willis, Morrison and Tulloch to offset those misses.

I also wanted to get Felix Jones to handcuff with Barber (missed Jones, got Barber) and Bush to pair with Thomas (got Thomas, not Bush).

At wr I really wanted Mike Wallace and Jeremy Maclin but missed both in both leagues.

 
Arian Foster. I had hoped he would slip to me in one of my two leagues, but it didn't work out.

Also would have loved to have gotten Rodgers as I rode him last year to a lot of wins.

 
Intended to draft all of these guys at the right time, but landed none of them.

Marshall, Best, Bradshaw, Rivers, Spiller and Shiancoe.

These guys in particular were guys that I was targeting about a month ago as players with value for where they would get drafted.

 
All 4 leauges I passed on Ahmad Bradshaw late in everyone of them. In the last week and a half, I have really regretted that. I think he is a starter every week until he gets hurt.

In all 4 leauges I filled up on RBs with guys like Best, Spiller, Foster, and Harrison earlier, then later switched to get my TE, #2WR, etc. I am happy with my RBs, but wish I would have grabbed him anyway in those later rounds.

I really think some people get a bit greedy. They see someone like Crabtree going in the sixth round draft after draft and hope to get him in the sixth. If you really think he is a second round value, don't risk it. Step up and take him in the fifth.
 
Either of the Mike Williams's would have been great but they kept going much higher than i projected, there were still way to many quality players left on the board for me to take them when they were drafted. Trying to trade for them before the season starts however.

 
Ryan Mathews. I traded up from the 8th spot to the #2 spot hoping he would fall. I ended up trading back down to the #3 and getting Jahvid Best instead.

 
Hakeem Nicks

Eli Manning

I expect big things from Manning, and Nicks will be the primary beneficiary. Manning, especially, had a criminally low ADP... around guys like Palmer Henne and McNabb. He's going to smoke that third tier of QBs, and probably several in the second tier as well (Rivers, Kolb etc).

I'm :excited: about Crabtree but more :excited: about Best. This will be me on Sundays watching Best in the Wildcat: :goodposting:

Best is really going to make watching the Lions fun this year. Best is the player I will try to watch every week.
 
Got Foster and Crabtree in redraft and dynasty but we drafted really early. Good price too. I'm gonna try to draft early every year, really seperates the informed from the spoon fed. I highly recommend it.

Guys I missed that hurt, Mathews and Finley in dynasty. I knew my shot at Mathews was a long one and that's cool but Finley goes 2 picks ahead of me in a slow draft that really dropped the bottom out of the value in that round. Ouch.

Ended up waiting five more rounds to draft a te as reaches were made that dropped RBs into my lap. Not a small thing in dynasty. Now everybody is scrambling for RB value trades and they aren't there. Still the right move but man I wanted to lock up that TE spot.

 
"Who do you not have on any of your teams, that you wish you had?"

My Team is in my Signature.

To plainly answer the Topic question.

Aaron Rodgers.

That simple for me.

 
For me it was Wes Welker in a PPR league. This weekend will really illuminate his true value but Welker was the #1 receiver last year in weekly production on the weeks he was on the field during the fantasy season. Even counting him missing weeks 2 and 3, he was the #2 overall wide receiver behind Andre Johnson. If he is anywhere close to healthy, he is an absolute monster in that offense. I had Welker ranked very high on my draft board at #10 and was prepared to take him appropriately. What happened is that in one league I went WR/WR and therefore could not take him and then in the other DeAngelo Williams fell to me in the middle of the 3rd round and he did not make it to the 4th.

 
Hakeem Nicks and Malcolm Floyd. Both of those guys kept going a round earlier than I would've felt comfortable drafting them.

 
I was actually just mentioning this to a buddy last night. I'm in 7 leagues this year, and between them all, I have collectively rostered 164 players. Despite that, I didn't have a single offensive skill player from either the Saints or the Vikings. No Brees, no Favre, no Peterson, no Thomas, no Bush, no Harvin, no Colston, no Henderson, no Meachem, not even a Shiancoe. It's not that I'm down on the Saints or the Vikings, it's just that through some bizarre twist of fate I wound up missing out on every single offensive player from both teams.

A "top five" TE.

I would agree with this.I didn't end up with Gore or Andre in any leagues this year. Of guys that I could have but waited to long for: J.Stew (first time since he was a rook), Forte (on a deal), Jennings, Finley, in fact I ended up with Steve Smith (Car) and Crabtree as a WR combo in like 4 out of my 7 leagues (missed out often on the true top tier WRs)I was also often gunning for a Flacco/Big Ben QB combo in a few leagues that ran on QBs early but missed out on one or the other.

Mike Wallace. Always went a round before I though he would.

Good one. Gonna be a real asset after week 5 and I think his PPG starting week 6 will put a lot of teams into steamroll mode. Another miss in dynasty. He'll probably beat me down the stretch and I can see it coming. Did you see that 50yd+ catch in preseason with Roeth? Then Tomlin sits him down.Mike was just showing me my future. Thanks Mike! Something to look forward to.
 
Best....but I refused to pay the 2nd round price tag by the time our draft came around.

Welker.....love having him on my team in recent years but I do not trust that he is the same guy and the price tag did not reflect any discount from last year so someone else ended up with him.

Finley in dynasty, but I will not take a tight end without a full season under his belt that seems fragile in the 3rd round, just will not do it.

That is really wierd. 7 teams and nothing? The bolded is backup plan A when I miss out on the top guys. Looked good last night too, good pick where he's been going.

 
Roddy White. I think he's the safest of the round 2 receivers and would have loved to have him on some of my teams. He always got taken a few picks before me. And I agree on Mike Wallace as well, think he's in for a big year but always seem to miss on him.

 
ugh...

Pierre Garcon, Pierre Garcon, Pierre Garcon.

I know I'm gonna kick myself for it. Ironically I got Welker in all 3 of my leagues and I probably coulda got Garcon instead in all three.

I'd love to have all 3 of those guys.... but at those prices pass, pass and pass. Good calls and 2nd rd is crazy for Best.Just give me the guys they should have taken.

I missed him in my first drafts and each time he was drafted it was followed by a "damn you to hell!"I was able to get him in my last draft, my FPC team.He's in the perfect situation to breakout this year. Pierre "The Hatian Sensation" Garcon.
 
Best.

Foster.

Crabtree.

This season made me hate snake draft leagues. I only got the above three in Auction, and I think from now on I'm only going to play Auction.

It is weird. I agree that a lot of those names are very solid value where they were going. Hell, I spent half the summer arguing how valuable Brees was to the "never take a QB early" crowd, but I just happened to draw a top 4 pick in all four of my redraft leagues and in my startup dynasty, and the Brees owner was refusing to sell in my existing keeper and dynasty. I'm actually higher on Pierre Thomas than almost anyone else in any of my leagues, it was just that when it came to the point where I was thinking of taking him, there was another player on the board who I thought for sure would be gone by then. I had a trade on the table that would have netted me Pierre for my rookie first in the dynasty league, but the other owner backed out because the rookie he wanted went the pick before mine. In the league where I drew the #2 pick, Peterson went #1 overall. Just this long string of seemingly insignificant factors that all wound up contributing to one massive head-scratching coincidence.
 
I was able to make some very good trades this offseason but the most important move I wanted to make was for megatron. I tried ALL offseason knowning the once the games started he would become untradable, but couldn't get it done.
