My team with logic.
Summary - After having a 28-30 man roster since the first day this contest opened up, just this week, I switched to a 20 man with more studs and less lottery tickets. I also believe I've found some of the better values of the contest. So my team is a mix of guys I had to have and guys who were simply valued to low to ignore.
QB - Tom Brady - NE/4 - $14
QB - Sam Bradford - PHI/8 - $13
Brady - is an elite at the position with immense value so he was the biggest no brainer of the contest, imo.
Bradford - will be QBing the most potent offense in the NFL. I'm betting on him to stay healthy, obviously. Guys like Eli and Rivers were good values too but I think Bradford has a higher ceiling in many ways and his schedule is favorable. I think people forget that he was a 1.01 NFL draft pick and was on a top 7 pace before getting injured last.
RB - Eddie Lacy - GB/7 - $32
RB - Alfred Morris - WAS/8 - $22
RB - Mark Ingram - NO/11 - $20
RB - Ameer Abdullah - DET/9 - $14
RB - Doug Martin - TB/6 - $12
RB - Branden Oliver - SD/10 - $3
Lacy - I viewed him as the surest RB to be top 5. He's hitting his 3rd season and has yet to have a career year. Arrow is only pointing up and with Rodgers and that offense, he's in a prime position to have a career year.
Morris - one of the easiest schedules for RBs and is consistently maddening in most redrafts, thankfully this is best ball. Morris will have 4-6 games that are starter-worthy with the upside of more, imo.
Ingram - I believe. This dude put up some BIG games last season and if you've been paying attention this summer, Brees has sort of shunned the Spiller hype and deflects to the receiving abilities of Ingram. Ingram has a great chance of being top 10 RB in 2015.
AA - I've said enough in other threads. I'm a huge fan and think he makes an immediate impact (like this Sunday) and never looks back. I'm heavily invested in this dude.
Dougie Fresh - I love me the upside of dougie this season. $12 for already-done-it-once RB1 (potentially)? I'll take that value all day! Another easy schedule here too. If he continues what he did in the preseason, this may be the best bargain RB in the contest.
Oliver - I love this dude. Bought him everywhere last season only to be let down. But I still trust my eyes on this guy and he's legit. I saw nothing from Gordon that excited me in the preseason. I know.... preseason. Preseason is undervalued by many.
WR - Julio Jones - ATL/10 - $26
WR - Brandin Cooks - NO/11 - $21
WR - Jordan Matthews - PHI/8 - $21
WR - Kendall Wright - TEN/4 - $13
WR - John Brown - ARI/9 - $12
Julio - my top rated WR this season. Great schedule, in his absolute prime with an O coordinator known for featuring his #1 WR. Matt Ryan also hitting his prime and I suspect he'll start putting up 30+ TDs consistently for the next 5+ seasons and I think that starts this season. Julio is going to be a MONSTER this season.
Brandin Cooks/Jordan Matthews - Grouping these guys because this is simply a hedge play for me, tbh. I'm in 23 leagues this season and I only own Matthews in 1 dynasty league. I own Cooks in zero leagues. In redrafts, I'm still lukewarm, on Cooks especially, this season. But since I'm only targeting a handful of WRs in all my leagues, this was an opportunity to mix it up. Looking at the other rosters in here, I'm glad I mixed it up. I'm not seeing a lot of Cooks/Matthews combos.
Kendall Wright - great value play this season. #1 WR with a rookie who will need to find comfort with A guy. Wright has been a very solid player for his first 3 seasons and that's with shaky QB play. I think he matches his 2013 yardage with his 2014 TDs this season which is 1100/6-8 TD range. In best ball for $13, I'll take that and not think twice.
John Brown - Huge upside. I think this guy might just explode this season. I'm not drafting him in redrafts but in best ball, he's the perfect WR to take a chance on. He might be the best WR on the cards. No joke.
TE - Tyler Eifert - CIN/7 - $9
TE - Ben Watson - NO/11 - $3
TE - Scott Chandler - NE/4 - $3
Eifert- if he stays healthy, I think he's a virtual lock for top 7 production. Cindy seems to have that model 1/1/1 elite in RB/WR/TE. Eifert was a 1.20 pick in the real NFL draft and has had some injuries. His rookie numbers for a TE are very good and last year he didn't even last a full quarter but in that <1 qtr, he had 3/37 or something close to that.
Watson/Chandler - I think these 2 guys could both have 500/6 type seasons. Paired with Eifert - who I think is top 7 - I think I really got a lot of bang for my buck at TE. Spending $15 with the potential of having a top 7 and 2 extra guys ping-ponging startable games for me.
PK - Sebastian Janikowski - OAK/6 - $2
PK - Josh Scobee - PIT/11 - $2
TD - Minnesota Vikings - MIN/5 - $5
TD - Atlanta Falcons - ATL/10 - $3
I'm not gonna write much on PK and DEF other than... I've been buying MIN defense in ALL leagues this year. Most under-the-radar position in all of FF if you ask me. I think I counted 10 games last season - without their stud RB and with a rookie QB and relative unknowns at WR - where the Queens held their opponents to 20 points or less. Granted, some of those were losses but still. I was floored when I discovered that. If you look at what they've done in the preseason, I think you'll see a similar pattern. Add Stefon Diggs/Cordarrelle Patterson returning kicks. I don't know, maybe I'm crazy but I think MIN finishes top 5 DEF this season.
