Don't let that bug you. If you think you've assembled the best roster, then don't go changing it just to find somewhere to throw that last dollar. Just think how satisfying it will be to win the whole contest with a $249 team.
I think they are fine. I actually have too many TE's that I want at these prices. I am having a hard time cutting it down to just 3 or 4.
I like the $4 receivers. I always have a hard time with my last few dollars.
Dodds pointed this out in his post in the announcement thread (which lost the battle to this one). They did bring the price of a lot of top-line players down to foster more variety.-QG
I think they said something about keeping the prices lower this year, especially on the top players at each position.

Looks like chicken dinner to me.
I've had to do some rearranging on several of my rough drafts due to the week 7 byes.
Unless of course everyone agrees to have several week 7 byes, then I can just keep it the same. Who's in?
Right now I have 6 week 7 players on my team, and I'm comfortable with that.
Nope.
I don't think so when three of the players are $3 or less.
Not a big fan of this team. Not nearly enough RB's or WR' for one. And for the $56 you spent on those QB's, you could have thrown an extra dollar on there and gotten a Rodgers/Stafford combo at QB.
more information or i dont care
Nice team here. I like the Rice/Pierce move.
Look at Butcher Boys as a starting point.For me...I am toying with a 23 man roster this year. It's perfect balanced for bye weeks, but I am nervous about the player count going against 27-30 man rosters.You spent a lot of cap on 4 qbs with your best being Freeman...oof. Spend some of that cap on your RB's, way too thin in depth and talent.WR's are good, but I would ditch Decker or DJax for more depth. Buy 3 guys with that cap for depth.
My method: 2 QBs. 1 stud and 1 cheaper guy with upside. Maybe a 3rd really cheap guy for depth or your studs backup. (2)3 starting RBs then some cheap value guys. (5)1 stud WR, couple middling guys and a bunch of value guys. (8)3 middling TEs or 1 stud and a couple cheapos. (3)Min 3 of each K/D.(6) My number of players in brackets (24) as it currently stands but that'll change.
Funny that you ask this as I was just toying with a team resembling the below which contains many of the same question marks you have. It's certainly easier now to strike a balance between studs and avg with upside rather than having a couple studs and all $3 guys. Doesn't mean I end up with a roster I'm any more comfortable with though, hah.QB - Matt Ryan - ATL/7 - $19QB - Jay Cutler - CHI/6 - $17QB - Andrew Luck - IND/4 - $11RB - Matt Forte - CHI/6 - $27RB - Marshawn Lynch - SEA/11 - $19RB - Michael Bush - CHI/6 - $10RB - Isaiah Pead - STL/9 - $6RB - Rashard Mendenhall - PIT/4 - $4WR - Brandon Marshall - CHI/6 - $22WR - Darrius Heyward-Bey - OAK/5 - $16WR - Titus Young - DET/5 - $10WR - Danny Amendola - STL/9 - $6WR - Jason Avant - PHI/7 - $5WR - Mario Manningham - SF/9 - $4WR - Devery Henderson - NO/6 - $4WR - Deion Branch - NE/9 - $3TE - Jason Witten - DAL/5 - $21TE - Brandon Pettigrew - DET/5 - $15TE - Scott Chandler - BUF/8 - $6TE - Randy McMichael - SD/7 - $2PK - Jason Hanson - DET/5 - $4PK - Randy Bullock - HOU/8 - $4PK - Robbie Gould - CHI/6 - $3TD - Buffalo Bills - BUF/8 - $5TD - San Diego Chargers - SD/7 - $4TD - Cincinnati Bengals - CIN/8 - $3
Welcome to the contest newb! You shouldn't be asking such serious questions, just trust the experts. Let me break it down for you. Just about every week, there is at least one kicker who goes off to the tune of 20+ points. The problem is, if you only draft 1-2 kickers, you're probably going to miss out on this 20 point bonus every week. And since these kickers are only $3 to $4 each, you can load up cheaply, and easily outscore everyone by that said 20+ points per week. If you don't draft 15-16 kickers, you are doing yourself a disservice.
Every year someone picks all kickers and it is funny to see how long the team lasts (usually not very).
Your team should look something like this...lots of talent at each position with the kicker bonus assured...Welcome to the contest newb!
