Love the Ryan / Vick pairing for you. Fun fact: over the past 2 years Ryan has far and away the lowest week-to-week scoring variance of any QB1 in football - it's not even close. Given Vick's injury history, though, if he does get a shot somewhere, you'd better hope the Falcons have an early bye week.

I'm really not sold on the early bye week deal anymore. Maybe last year was an aberration, but the later in the year we went, the more crippled teams were around.

i'd love to see a stat about the percentage of teams that have survived a week (or more) with no QB score.

Last year WSL1 and WSL2 results when teams had less than 1 pt at QB

wk 3 - Snellman survived with 0.95 at QB

wk 4 - Ref survived

wk 5 - Hook survived

wk 6 - Phenix survived

wk 7 - Fubar survived

wk 8 - Fiddles and Snellman survived. Blue Kun would have but was already out. Crippler didn't but was already out

wk 9 - Snellman, BnB and Dpease survivied. ACP survived but needed immunity. Pimpin would have but was already out. Dillo got eliminated

wk 10 - Broadway survived. Shadowmaster survived with immunity. Snellman eliminated.

wk 11 - BSS would have but was already out.

For the guys still alive who took a zero at QB, 13 survived and 2 didn't. Add in the guys already eliminated who took a zero and that number increases to 16 and 3.

I stopped at week 11 because the individuals results threads weren't maintained after that.

Looking at the alive guys, they averaged being at risk in wk 8. They survived at an 87% clip when the average chance of survival was 7 out of 8 or 87%.

Took a quick look at league 3.......3 of the 4 still alive posting a zero score at QB survived. The only one who didn't was Valence early in week 5.

Guessing one could run similar analysis for most positions and things would still come out pretty rosy. A lot of people probably had rb2 scoring extremely low amounts each week but in general survived because only one person gets dumped each week.

Actually you're pretty much correct. Draft good players first and foremost and things will generally work out. Usually the top owners in total points are the ones left standing a the end.

 

[BassNBrew]

Adding to that last post...

Odds are that you can survive a week with a zero because only one owner each week gets sent packing. You don't want to be that guy constantly scoring on the lower end of the curve because the odds will catch up to you. If you have a team that consistantly performs well, odds are on a week that you catch a zero; byes and injuries will have a couple of other teams in the same boat.

This would be a solid combo in any circumstance, but getting them as the 10th and 21st TEs off the board was absolute highway robbery. If you wind up winning this thing, that right there will be a big part of the reason why.

4.03 Nick Foles QB7 PHI

7.14 Johnny Manziel QB26 ®

There is some risk here at my QB position. Will Foles keep playing like he did last year? Will Manziel start right away? If Manziel does start right away will he stay healthy? Lots of questions with this group. I'm a believer in Foles and I think he can play like he did last year and I think Manziel will be a top 5 pick and will start right away on a QB needy team. Not the strongest in the league but I think they will score enough each week.

2.03 Doug Martin RB9 TB

6.03 Trent Richardson RB28 IND

10.03 Jeremy Hill RB45 ®

11.14 Marcus Lattimore RB53 SF

20.03 Rashard Mendenhall RB78

My RB group is another group with lots of question marks. Will Doug Martin be the Doug Martin from his rookie year or the Doug Martin from last year? Will a full offseason in Indy help Trent Richardson out to become the RB we thought he can be or will he continue to struggle? Where will Jeremy Hill get drafted and will it be to a team that can use a starting RB? How much playing time will Marcus Lattimore get next season? Will Lattimore's knees hold up? Will Mendenhall return to Arizona or will he sign elswhere? I think Doug Martin will bounce back and will play closure to his rookie season. I'm just not sure about my other 4 RB's but I think between the 5 I can get two good scores each week.

1.14 Dez Bryant WR4 DAL

3.14 Keenan Allen WR19 SD

5.14 Sammy Watkins WR30 ®

9.14 Hakeem Nicks WR50 NYG

12.03 Emmanuel Sanders WR63 PIT

16.03 Jeremy Kerley WR78 NYJ

I really like my WR group. I only drafted six instead of 7 like I usually do with the 20 round survivor drafts because I think these are a strong 6 group of WR's and I had bigger needs at RB and TE. I think Dez Bryant and Keenan Allen will be even better this season. Hakeem Nicks will probably be playing for another team this next season and I think if he can stay healthy he will have a bounce back year. I think that Sanders and Kerley make an excellent #5 and #6 receiver and will get me a few weeks with good scores. I'm a big believer in Sammy Watkins. I know I took him early but I really wanted him. I should have no problem getting 3 good scores each week from this group.

8.03 Charles Clay TE12 MIA

14.03 Joseph Fauria TE31 DET

15.14 Jermaine Gresham TE35 CIN

I was very happy to land Charles Clay in the 8th round and at TE12. He had a great year for the Dolphins this past year. I waited a really long time to get my second TE in Joseph Fauria. He could possibly be the starting TE in Detroit this year if Pettigrew isn't re-signed. Fauria could be a steal in the 14th round if he does become the starting TE in Detroit. Because I'm not sure if Fauria will be the starting TE in Detroit or not I decided getting a 3rd TE over a 7th WR was more prudent. I went with Jermaine Gresham. He had a few nice scores last season even with Eifert drafted last year so I can see him scoring for me a few times during the season.

17.14 Sebastian Janikowski PK22 OAK

19.14 Randy Bullock PK29 HOU

13.14 Houston Texans D/ST14

18.03 San Diego Chargers D/ST27

I got two kickers and two defenses. I waited for as long as I possibly could to get the kickers and defenses. I was actually really happy with the defenses and kickers I ended up with considering I waited as long as I did.

Overall I'm ok with this team. There are a LOT of question marks with the RB position. If that position comes through for me then I think I can stay in this for a long while. If they don't then I will probably be out fairly early.

I think you did pretty well here. I really like your picks of Richardson, Allen, Nicks, Sanders, Kerley, Fauria, Gresham, Bullock, and SD. If your RBs do anything at all, you'll be set for a deep run.

4.04 Matt Ryan QB8 ATL

11.13 Michael Vick QB32 PHI

A very solid #1 - as was pointed out by others, Matt Ryans point variance is very consistent, paired with a high upside backup who Im assuming will get a chance as a starter.

2.04 DeMarco Murray RB10 DAL

5.13 Chris Johnson RB25 TEN

10.04 Lache Seastrunk RB46 ®

12.04 BenJarvis Green-Ellis RB54 CIN

18.04 Ronnie Hillman RB70 DEN

Solid yet unspectatular group. DeMarco & CJ2k at the top. A rookie , solid vet in BJGE. A what the heck pick in Ronnie Hillman, I expect Denver to let Moreno go, so Monte Ball is 1a, maybe Hillman is 1b

1.13 A.J. Green WR3 CIN

6.04 Marques Colston WR33 NO

7.13 Stevie Johnson WR42 BUF

9.13 Justin Hunter WR49 TEN

14.04 Marlon Brown WR71 BAL

19.13 Andre Caldwell WR92 DEN

20.04 Allen Robinson ®

Stud at the 1 spot, a solid top 3 overall if Stevie can regain some of his form, a homer run hitter in Justin Hunter, Marlon Brown. I was targetting Caldwell, if Decker leaves via free agency or if they cut welker due to cap issues, Andre should step right into the best offense ever. A last round rookie that can maybe put up some points late in the season

3.13 Jordan Cameron TE5 CLE

8.04 Antonio Gates TE13 SD

Took two early, gates sliding this far was just silly, should max out points at this position.

15.13 Dan Bailey PK7 DAL

16.04 Nick Novak PK10 SD

Two guys in decent offenses in good weather.

13.13 Baltimore Ravens D/ST13

17.13 Minnesota Vikings D/ST25

Baltimore should rebound and maybe zimmer can turn Minny around .

All and all a solid squad, besides QB2 I dont see any giant holes.

Maybe I will like this team more after seeing some of the others, but I'm not feeling it. I don't see Vick as a starter. CJ is a free agent (but may be a really good pick). I'm not drafting a guy with a first name Lache. BGE isn't a difference maker. Hillman has fumbled his way out of a career. Caldwell is a free agent. Gates disappeared later in the year. Outside of Ryan I see little consistency on this team. At some point it will catch up with you.

If CJ ends up in a good spot I could warm up to your unit...wow, that sounds like I'm a UM grad...oh, I am.

Bass never likes my squads.

has some back luck last year, played 2 suvrivors, WSL out in week1, but was 3rd in points, team was loaded but injuried, Knowshon, Gio Bernard, Julio Jones,Vjax, Gordon, Gronkow

Made the final4 in SSL1, will be back in ssl1 this year.

Got to get the 6th title to match Rudy.

I guess DeMarco & AJ Green arent consistent enough for Bass

Geez, don't take it so personal. Do you want me list all my ff accolades or discuss the topic at hand?

Green and Murray are fine.

At WR 2 thru 6 seemed to come and go a lot this year. That was probably priced into Colston. I think Gates was overdrafted. Cameron disappeared late last year. I had both of them in IBL last year and my team fell off the map right with them.

I like most of those picks but not combined with numerous guys who my not contribute weekly.

2.02 Aaron Rodgers QB3 GB

12.02 Brian Hoyer QB33 CLE

I wasn't expecting to draft a QB that early but when Rodgers was still there I felt it was by far the best pick. Brian Hoyer looked great in his limited starts before going out for the year. If the Browns draft a QB at 1.04 then this certainly could be a wasted pick. After reading BnB's numbers about how many teams survive a weak without a QB score I don't feel that bad about not having a more reliable backup.

3.15 Frank Gore RB19 SF

5.15 Montee Ball RB26 DEN

8.02 Pierre Thomas RB33 NO

14.02 Devonta Freeman RB60 ®

19.15 Jordan Todman RB77 JAC

Taking a QB and a TE early hurt my RB and WR positions but i don't think this group is going to kill me. Gore will lose carries to Hunter and Lattimore but should still be a high end RB2 at worst. If Ball isn't the guy in Denver next year I would be surprised. Moreno isn't coming back unless he is willing to give up a lot of money. Worst case scenario is that he is the lead back in a committee with Hillman or Anderson. Pierre Thomas caught more passes and outproduced Darren Sproles and I got him 3 rounds later. With a healthy Ingram and an emerging Khiry Robinson there could be more competition for carries but I think he carved out a nice role for himself and the Saints like what they got. Devonta Freeman is a true wild card but I like him more than fellow Seminole RB James Wilder. He is a compact runner who runs well between the tackles. He reminds me a bit of Alfred Morris but will require going to a great situation if he is going to produce in year 1. Todman played well down the stretch for the Jags and with MJD likely moving on he has a real chance to be the lead back in a committee.

4.02 Torrey Smith WR20 BAL

6.02 Rueben Randle WR32 NYG

7.15 Brian Hartline WR43 MIA

10.02 Riley Cooper WR52 PHI

16.02 Brandon Gibson WR77 MIA

18.02 Stedman Bailey WR86 STL

20.02 Joseph Morgan WR93 NO

This group also suffered a bit but I like what I have here seeing as I didn't draft my first until the 4th round. Overall I think they give a nice combination of steady production and big game upside. I view Smith as more of a top 15 guy so I was happy to have him at WR20. I would like his TDs to come up from 4 to the 6-8 range and think that is easily within the realm of possibility. Randle should have the inside track to the Giants true WR1 with Nicks likely moving on. He disappeared at the end of the season but the Giants entire offense was a hot mess by that point. Hartline isn't flashy but he provides a nice scoring consistency to my squad. He only produced 4 games less with less than 10 fantasy points in this format last year, half the number that team mate Mike Wallace had and was drafted 3 rounds later. Cooper looked amazing at times last season with Foles at quarterback. He was very up and down in the 2nd half of the season and Maclin's potential return muddies his situation a bit. Gibson was playing lights out for a stretch before going down to a season ending injury. Bailey started getting playing time in the last weeks of the 2013 season and looked good. Morgan was unfortunately lost before the first preseason game to a knee injury but was on track to be the Saints' 3rd receiver and primary deep threat. I see no reason he can't resume that role and get several long touchdowns this season if he can regain his speed.

1.15 Rob Gronkowski TE2 NE

9.15 Coby Fleener TE18 IND

11.15 Dwayne Allen TE26 IND

Gronk has to be considered an injury risb k at this point but should certainly be fully healthy and ready to go by the start of the 2014 season. In a 2 point PPR for TE format I think he (along with Graham) are worthy choices in the first round. Because of that possible injury I decided to lock up the the Indy TEs. I actually prefer Dwayne Allen to Fleener but was pretty sure I could get him later. Lucky for me it made it back a full 2 rounds later.

15.15 Phil Dawson PK8 SF

I decided to forgo a 2nd kicker in favor of a 5th RB and a 7th WR. The one I did get should be pretty good.

13.15 Green Bay Packers D/ST15

17.15 Miami Dolphins D/ST26

two defenses that should be improved next season.

Overall this isn't my favorite survivor team I have drafted but if the WR and RB groups can do enough while Rodgers and Gronk carry me it should be a competitive one.

You are probably right. Unfortunately being near one of the ends I got stuck on the wrong side of a QB run. I didn't care for any of the veterans that were left so I decided to take a shot with one of the rookies. I thought about taking a 3rd QB and he is still available.

I have never been a fan of Locker. Which probably means he will blow up this year and be a top 10 QB.

6.05 Andy Dalton QB15 CIN

I like this group quite a bit. Julio was the last of a tier, Crabs is a solid WR2 in this format, and Floyd should be a mid-WR2 as well.

Hopefully Boykin and Goodwin continue to make strides.

18.05 Tennessee Titans D/ST28

[False Start]

I'll stick with the same template, so here goes. Rip me apart fellas, i'm sure many disagree.

Brees, Drew NOS

Locker, Jake TEN

I feel I have the safest pick in all of fantasy football with Brees and his consistency of high scores alone is enough to keep my alive any given week. I have faith that Locker will be back in Tennessee and before his injury last year he was performing at a decent clip.

Bush, Reggie DET

Jackson, Steven ATL

Ridley, Stevan NEP

Ingram, Mark NOS

Brown, Bryce PHI

Grice, Marion ®

I probably like this more than some, Bush is a PPR monster and Jackson has another year of starter left in him. With a healthy Atlanta offense I think he could benefit. Ridley is going to be undervalued in many draft but many forget he still scored 7 times and is only a year removed from a 1200+/12 season.

Decker, Eric DEN

Cruz, Victor NYG

Patterson, Cordarrelle MIN

Evans, Mike ®

LaFell, Brandon CAR

Benjamin, Kelvin ®

The upside is so dangerous here but is not what I call Sexy. DEcker may be a #1 and could resign in Denver so who knows but Cruz is a great WR just suffered from an abysmal team chemistry around him this year. Patterson and Evans will be #1 WRs for years to come, I just hope they perform like it this year.

Rudolph, Kyle MIN

Seferian-Jenkins, A. ®

Turner love TEs, Rudolph is his TE, what else needs to be said. Wish I could of drafted better depth, a rookie is not what I want to hope on if Rudolph gets injured again.

Bryant, Matt ATL

Feely, Jay ARI

They kick.

Seattle

Pittsburgh

Have the best in the business, if you want to see their worth just watch the Super Bowl. My favorite pick that can be a huge impact in more weeks then they are not.

In hindsight, knowing you could get Fleener/Allen so cheap it makes you wonder about the Gronk pick. I'd be comfortable with Fleener/Allen and a cheap backup.

 

[Mr. Irrelevant]

Aaaaand my first WSL draft is in the books:

4.13 Russell Wilson QB10 SEA
7.04 Sam Bradford QB21 STL

Consistent QB1 + a QB2 with upside. It would be almost impossible for Seattle to throw the ball less than in 2013, so Wilson's QB10 finish despite that really ought to be his floor. Bradford averaged 24.5ppg pre-injury last year - that's Newton/Luck territory - so if he's really turned the corner, he could provide massive value for me. I'm satisfied with this combo, but I'd have been thrilled if Brady had fallen just two more picks.

2.13 C.J. Spiller RB15 BUF
5.04 Ben Tate RB23 HOU
9.04 Rashad Jennings RB39 OAK
11.04 Bernard Pierce RB49 BAL
13.04 Roy Helu Jr. RB58 WAS

Not a bad stable considering my first back was the 15th off the board. I don't know whether Spiller will rediscover his 2012 form, but I do know there ain't no way F-Jax finishes RB10 again. Tate and Jennings have a good shot at being lead backs or at least alpha dogs in a RBBC. Pierce looked God-awful last year - but so did Rice, and as between the two I'll happily bet on the younger guy going 9 rounds later. Gruden loves him some RB rotation, so Helu will see more of the field and could catch 50 balls this year. No sure things here, but I like my depth.
3.04 Jordy Nelson WR13 GB
6.13 DeAndre Hopkins WR37 HOU
8.13 Jeremy Maclin WR45 PHI
12.13 Da'Rick Rodgers WR67 IND
14.13 Quinton Patton WR74 SF
16.13 Sidney Rice WR81 SEA

20.13 Andre Roberts WR100 ARZ

Bleh, this crew will make or break my squad, probably the latter. No regrets about Jordy, but every single other guy is a FA, a 2nd-year player, and/or coming off a major injury. To top it off I feel like I reached some here - I may well get more production out of Roberts in the 20th round than Rogers in the 12th.

1.04 Jimmy Graham TE1 NO
10.13 Travis Kelce TE23 KC

Considering the sort of advantage the top-tier TEs provide over the average team in this scoring format, it always amazes me that they don't fly off the board sooner. If Jimmy goes down my season's probably shot anyway, so rather than trying to hedge with a Miller or Daniels I went for broke with Kelce ... microfracture surgery is scary, but if he fully recovers, talented youngster + Fat Andy play-calling + noodle-armed QB = huge upside potential. Thought about a 3rd TE as insurance against Graham being tagged as a WR, but decided my actual WRs needed the help more. C'mon Saints, sign this guy already!

17.04 Shaun Suisham PK17 PIT
18.13 Josh Scobee PK27 JAC
15.04 Philadelphia Eagles D/ST18
19.04 Oakland Raiders D/ST31

My usual strategy at kicker: two guys who won't lose their jobs. Meanwhile, I took two top-3 defenses in last year's SSL and it did nothing for me, so I tried the opposite tack this time. Just an average bunch all-around here.


My strategy after my first 4 picks consisted of gunning pretty much exclusively for upside and high ceilings. The result is a very young squad with a ton of talent but two tons of uncertainty. I don't hate my team, and in fact it could go deep if a couple of my mid-round guys end up in favorable situations, but if not I think my chances of an early out are high. B+ for potential, D for risk.

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

Cam Newton, Joe Flacco
Jamaal Charles, Danny Woodhead, Jacquizz Rogers, Knile Davis, Daniel Thomas, Jonathan Dwyer
Larry Fitzgerald, Mike Wallace, Greg Jennings, Harry Douglas, Nate Washington, Jericho Cochery
Heath Miller, Ed Dickson
Steven Hauschka
Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, Washington Redskins

A+ across the board. This squad is a stone cold lock to win the WSL14 Title, and I'd put it at about 50/50 to win me the 2015 WSL title as well.

 

[Domination]

QB- Jay Cutler, RG3

I am very happy with this tandem, I think they should help offset each other & both are capable of elite output on a given week.

RB- Marshawn Lynch, Darren McFadden, Chris Ivory, James Starks, Dion Lewis

Lynch offers the consistancy that I need from my RB1. McFadden will hopefully turn things around on a new team, only 2 years removed from top 10 production. Ivory offers a 3rd starting RB, and hopefully Lewis comes back healthy. The biggest ?s on my team.

WR- Antonio Brown, Vincent Jackson, Dwayne Bowe, Denarius Moore, Marquise Lee, Jordan Mathews

I am pretty sure that I will like my WRs more than most. I think they offer a nice blend of upside & consistency. Evrn thought drafted 2 rookies, the ones I drafted I believe are the most NFLready to contribute now.

TE- Greg Olsen, Jace Amaro, Brent Celek

Olsen should give me TE1 production. I miscalculated the TE2 run, but the upside of Amaro is high,& Celek should prevent me from getting a zero.

K- Graham Gano, Josh Brown

Def- Tampa Bay, New Orleans

2 of each.. Not flashy, but should've decent production.

Overall- I am quite happy with this team. It has more potential for a top score than some of my previous teams & should be able to compete for some high scores if my RBs pan out.

 

[jeaton6]

1.07 Peyton Manning QB1 DEN

7.07 Eli Manning QB23 NYG

With Peyton it's obvious we'll see some regression but given all the weapons around him it may not be as much as some think. Eli was a pure safety play to protect my investment. At that point he was the last safe guaranteed starter and I expect to get a few scores from here this year and a top 10-15 finish overall with Macadoo at OC. These two will likely put me in the top 3 scoring at the position if not #1.

Rating: A

2.10 Arian Foster RB12 HOU

8.10 Fred Jackson RB37 BUF

9.07 Andre Brown RB41 NYG

10.10 LeGarrette Blount RB47 NE

20.10 Bilal Powell RB80 NYJ

By far my biggest question mark is at RB. Will Foster stay healthy and produce in new system? Can FJ hold up? Where do my two free agents land? I expect low RB1/high RB2 production out of foster if he pulls a Ray Rice than I'm in trouble. Jackson should be steady RB2 if he doesn't fall of a cliff or get hurt. Even if he does fall of a cliff he will still likely out produce RB37 (125.9 points in 2013). I expect Brown to be back in NY (and starting) and should give me RB2 production if this is the case. Blount probably best served to stick around and get 8-10 carries per game in NE and can give me a solid 5-10 ppg. Powell was a pure "safe" play. Not much upside but can give me a floor as 3rd down back and probably score for me some weeks when Ivory goes down.

Rating: C

3.07 Andre Johnson WR15 HOU

5.07 Wes Welker WR28 DEN

6.10 Cecil Shorts WR35 JAC

11.07 Rod Streater WR59 OAK

12.10 Doug Baldwin WR66 SEA

14.10 Kenny Britt WR72 TEN

16.10 Jerrell Jernigan WR80 NYG

Really happy with my WR core. AJ showed this year he can produce regardless of who is at QB and should be a low end WR1. Felt like Welker could end up as a SOD candidate in the 5th and WR28. In 13 games this year he was number 21 and should be a shoe-in as a high end WR2. A healthy Shorts should deliver low end WR2 production as well. Steater provided solid floor guy, Baldwin a guy who can score for me (7 double digit games this year) and worst case is WR3 in Seattle but could be more there or elsewhere. Britt was pure upside if someone takes a chance on him and JJ showed a lot down the stretch and could be good high variance play for me especially if Giants don't sign a Name tight end.

Rating: B+/A-

4.10 Jason Witten TE7 DAL

17.07 Rob Housler TE36 ARI

Loved Witten where I got him. Really interesting how late TEs went this year. Last year Witten was a mid second rounder (TE is deep this year). Witten had a down year (targets and recepts down/TDs up). He's had top 8 finish 9/10 years since 2004. Wasn't thrilled with his weekly variance so added Housler late. He trended up at end of last year and should be an ok TE2. I considered Garrett Graham here too but was worried about 3 Houston players (if GG stays).

Rating: B

15.07 Stephen Gostkowski PK3 NE

18.10 Caleb Sturgis PK25 MIA

I've got 2 that will both start and SG should finish top 3 as always.

Rating: B+

13.07 New England Patriots D/ST9

19.07 Jacksonville Jaguars D/ST32

Again I've got 2 (thankfully ACPs 3 DST shenanigans didn't cost me a 2nd DST this year like last year in WSL1!). DST should be fine.

Rating: C

Overall: Pretty happy with this team. It is not flashy AT ALL. No high profile rookies or big break out WR/RB candidates but week in and week out should consistently score and particularly in this league with where all the rookies were drafted I think a safe team will likely go pretty deep.

My biggest concern is the bunching of players I have on a few teams and if a couple of those teams have the same bye weeks I'm in trouble. For instance, 3 NYG, 3 NE, 2 HOU, 2 DEN so half my team represented by 4 teams. Could be trouble.

Overall Rating: B

 

[OldMilwaukee]

Old Milwaukee

7.01 Alex Smith QB20 KC

8.16 Mike Glennon QB27 TB

9.01 Geno Smith QB28 NYJ

Waited a bit to long on a quarterback!!!!! Thought I had to take a third, just to get an average score each week. In hindsight I wish I use the pick on Fleener or Eifert. Yuk!

1.01 LeSean McCoy RB1 PHI

3.01 Ryan Matthews RB17 SD

14.16 Christine Michael RB66 SEA

18.16 Chris Polk RB71 PHI

19.01 Johnathon Franklin RB72 GB

OK group!! McCoy will contend for the rushing crown again and should add more TDs!. Mathews turned it on at the end of last season and will be playing for a contract this season. I am high on him, and thinking a top ten finish is possible! Michael is one foolish move by Lynch away from many more touches (what’s up with Lynch’s legal troubles?). Polk and Franklin are in line as the next man up on their respective teams and will get some occasional playing time.

2.16 Pierre Garcon WR11 WAS

4.16 Roddy White WR25 ATL

5.01 Kendall Wright WR26 TEN

10.16 Mike Williams WR57 TB

17.01 Eddie Royal WR82 SD

20.16 Jacoby Jones WR

Happy with this group! Garcon lead the league in receptions last year and the TD’s will come this year to get him into the top 10. White hopefully returns to his old (pun intended) dependable self. Wright has a high ceiling. Williams and Royal and Jones should suffice for the bye weeks fill ins and maybe and occasional score.

6.16 Martellus Bennett TE9 CHI

11.01 Owen Daniels TE24 HOU

15.01 Levine Toilolo TE34 ATL

Waited to long on this group as well!!! Hoping Bennett gets utilized even more, but who knows? Daniels is one season removed from a top 10 finish. Toilolo was a panic move in response to all the rookie TE’s being taken. Somebody’s gotta take Gonz’s spot? If he's the man in Atlanta I am loaded!



16.16 Dustin Hopkins PK15 BUF

Just one please

12.16 Cincinnati Bengals D/ST4

13.01 Buffalo Bills D/ST5

Should have some very nice scores from these two up and coming…young units!

Overall: I got killed on the QB and TE runs! Having to take 3 QB/ 3TE really threw me for a loop, at the time, I felt I had no choice. Obviously took Toilolo way to early………. Nice to know I can wait on him. J I will need to get production out of those two units to survive. Doubt I have enough.

Sitting on the turn really sucks, but is a valuable learning experience, and enjoyed the challage of doing it. I am ready for PDSL should Bass put me on the end again!

 

[Bamac]

6.05 Andy Dalton QB15 CIN

7.12 Teddy Bridgewater QB25 ®

I thought Dalton was a bargain at QB15, but not sure with Hue Jackson as OC. I like Bridgewater's chances of remaining a starter for 16 games better than anyone drafted after him.

1.12 Le'Veon Bell RB7 PIT

4.05 Knowshon Moreno RB20 DEN

9.12 Bishop Sankey RB44 ®

11.12 Donald Brown RB52 IND

14.05 Charles Sims RB61 ®

20.05 Terrance West RB?? ®

Three rooks who should be featured in the passing game (if at all). If one of them turns into a RB2, I feel pretty good. Moreno seems likely to hit free agency. Maybe Cleveland is an option now that Lombardi is gone.

2.05 Julio Jones WR6 ATL

3.12 Michael Crabtree WR18 SF

5.12 Michael Floyd WR29 ARI

12.05 Jarrett Boykin WR64 GB

13.12 Marquise Goodwin WR70 BUF

17.12 Jermaine Kearse WR84 SEA

19.12 Kenbrell Thompkins WR91 NE

I like this group quite a bit. Julio was the last of a tier, Crabs is a solid WR2 in this format, and Floyd should be a mid-WR2 as well.

Hopefully Boykin and Goodwin continue to make strides.

8.05 Ladarius Green TE14 SD

10.05 Tyler Eifert TE20 CIN

I should've gone three TEs. Need a major breakout.

15.12 Mike Nugent PK6 CIN

16.05 Blair Walsh PK11 MIN

18.05 Tennessee Titans D/ST28

Knew I was taking a risk by waiting so long on DST. Probably would've been better going DST in the 16th instead of PK. Doubt it changes my season.

Bridgewater was a major reach, but I like where the rookie RBs landed.

 

[Mr. Irrelevant]

4.13 Russell Wilson QB10 SEA [4]

7.04 Sam Bradford QB21 STL [4]

Bye weeks bit me here, but at least it's in week 4, when lots of teams are left in the mix. Never believed the Rams' smokescreen about drafting a QB, but happy Bradford's getting the draft's best OT added to his blind side - I need him to stay healthy if this QBBC is going to have any firepower.

2.13 C.J. Spiller RB15 BUF [9]

5.04 Ben Tate RB23 HOU CLE [4]

9.04 Rashad Jennings RB39 OAK NYG [8]

11.04 Bernard Pierce RB49 BAL [11]

13.04 Roy Helu Jr. RB58 WAS [10]

Free agency was berry berry good to my RBs ... with Tate's and Jennings' new landing spots, I went from one clear starter to three, at least on the depth charts. Have to think Rice will be sitting out a few games, which boosts Pierce's stock as well. Helu will lose some catches to D-Jax, which will dent his value, but if I'm forced to lean on him then I have bigger problems anyway. And zero bye week issues. Overall a big boost here, and a solidly above-average group now IMO.
3.04 Jordy Nelson WR13 GB [9]

6.13 DeAndre Hopkins WR37 HOU [10]

8.13 Jeremy Maclin WR45 PHI [7]

12.13 Da'Rick Rodgers WR67 IND [10]

14.13 Quinton Patton WR74 SF [8]

16.13 Sidney Rice WR81 SEA [4]

20.13 Andre Roberts WR100 ARZ WAS [10]

Hated D-Jax getting cut as an Eagles fan, but it obviously gave my WR corps a huge shot in the arm - Maclin, who I got at WR45, will go in the 20s in SSL. I'll need it, too ... three of my reserves had FA arrivals bump them down the depth chart (in fact my WR5 could be a camp cut, which would be, ummm, embarrassing), and Rice re-signing with SEA sticks a fork in his fantasy value. Even with Maclin's upgrade, this bunch won't win any awards, but at least I won't hemorrhage as many points a week as I could have.

1.04 Jimmy Graham TE1 NO [6]

10.13 Travis Kelce TE23 KC [6]

Another bye-week double-dip ... though again, it's early, and no one else on my roster has a week 6 bye, so I should be OK. Cooks is basically the anti-Graham, so no real impact from his arrival in NO, and Reid brought in no one to compete for Kelce's targets, either. Sure would like to see Graham's grievance get settled soon, though.

17.04 Shaun Suisham PK17 PIT [12]

18.13 Josh Scobee PK27 JAC [11]

15.04 Philadelphia Eagles D/ST18 [7]

19.04 Oakland Raiders D/ST31 [5]

No bye-week conflicts, and no indication either of the kickers will lose their jobs. Still just a bunch of guys.

Overall I'm certainly in better position now than I was when this draft finished up - free agency really helped some of my guys, while neither the bye weeks nor the draft delivered any major blows. Unfortunately, my already-questionable WR depth got a whole lot more questionable in the process. Fate and FA has turned this roster from "bleh" into competitive, but I still don't think it's got enough in the tank to win it all.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

honestly, Ellington probably outscores half these guys in 2014:

2.03 - KRSone21 - Doug Martin - RB9 - TB

2.04 - BSS - DeMarco Murray - RB10 - Dallas

2.08 - False Start - Reggie Bush RB11 - Det

2.10 - Jeaton6 - Arian Foster - RB12 - Hou

2.11 - Fullback Fro - Gio Bernard - RB13 - Cincy

2.12 - Nugget - Ray Rice RB14 - Balt

2.13 - Mr. Irrelevant - CJ Spiller RB15- Buff

2.14 - HellTouppee - Alfred Morris - RB16 - Wash

through 7 weeks, looks like Ellington is RB7 in terms of average points/game.

Murray: RB1

Foster: RB3

Bernard: RB6

Morris: RB32

Bush: RB40

Spiller: RB44

Martin: RB53

Rice: out of the league

out of 8 mentioned, he's well ahead of 5 of them, basically equal with 1, and clearly behind 2.

pretty solid RB1 in round 4.

even my RB2 (J.Bell) in round 6 ranks RB28, although he missed a game.

avoiding significant injury and domestic violence helps.

Spiller wasn't doing anything when healthy. Who else on that list has been "significantly injured"?

I was more referring to the RB7 part of your post.
