RB: Priest Holmes
RB: Rudi Johnson

WR: Eric Moulds
WR: Amani Toomer
WR: Marty Booker

TE: Boo Williams

DEF: Patriots

Bench

QB: Aaron Brooks

RB: Michael Bennett
RB: TJ Duckett

WR: Donald Driver
WR: Troy Brown

[LorenzoL]

I like your team although your WRs are a bit weak.

[brizz]

decent team, but like LorenzoL I don't see much in the WRs to get too excited about. You'll be competitive, but how competetive depends on what type of league it is.

i know it...i took 2 RB first, and then we had a run on the top QB's so i jumped the gun and took McNair (only 3rd round!!!!!).....by the time it came back around the WR corps was raped.

[Red Dog]

One of the big no-nos in fantasy drafts - never get caught up in a positional run.

Sure you can - just don't do it. Pick for value and McNair in the 3rd round of a 10-team league is not value. Think of it this way - if more than half of the teams already had QBs (which I assume since you said there was a run) by the time you picked in the 3rd, chances are that few QBs will be picked in the interim btwn your 3rd and 4th round picks. You could have waited until the 4th and gotten a comparable QB to McNair.

Heck, your back-up QB is roughly equal to McNair. I have McNair and Brooks in the same tier.

[MACD23]

i had brooks as my starter last year...he was terribly inconsistent depending on the oponent. but you're right, in that QB is a fairly deep and talented position....i really liked mcnair though. either way i feel my only weakness is WR and TE. Our league seems to be tilted towards RB, QB, and DEF though, so I think priest and the others will keep me competitive.

[brizz]

McNair in the third round is at least 2 rounds early. but so it goes....my team for the DVDTALK Survivor League:

QB1: Chad Pennington
QB2: David Carr
QB3: John Kitna

RB1: Shaun Alexander
RB2: Stephen Davis
RB3: DeShaun Foster
RB4: Tatum Bell

WR1: Terrell Owens
WR2: Larry Fitzgerald
WR3: Keenan McCardell
WR4: Reggie Wayne
WR5: Andre Davis
WR6: Reggie Williams

TE: Dallas Clark

K: Josh Brown
K2: Phil Dawson

Def: Jacksonville
Def: Denver

because the format just takes the top qb, 2rbs 3 wrs etc numbers each week automatically, I figured the tandem of Davis/Foster should provide good numbers to compliment Alexander since one of them is bound to score well each week, and I don't have to be Nostrodamus to figure out which one ahead of time....although that leaves me vulnerable in Carolina's bye week since Bell is likely to be on the bench still. I'll just have to hope that Fitzgerald tears up the Falcons, S. Alexander the 49ers, and Owens the Lions in week 3 - all of which are perfectly reasonable expectations :)

[cdollaz]

I am in a 6-team league (we have had the same 6 guys for 4 years now) and we start 2 QB, 3 RB, 3 WR, 1RB/WR, 1 WR/TE, 1 TE, 1K, and 1 DEF.

This year I ended up with:

QB:
Steve McNair
Trent Green
Rich Gannon
Carson Palmer

RB:
Ahman Green
Edgerrin James
Corey Dillon
Thomas Jones
Duce Staley
TJ Duckett

WR:
Torry Holt (kept from last year)
Darrell Jackson
Plaxico Burress
Javon Walker
Isaac Bruce

TE:
Marcus Pollard

K:
Matt Stover

DEF:
Miami (I will probably change this one before the season starts)


This was our first year doing a keeper league and some teams got some steals: Vick for a 7th rounder, Barlow for a 15 rounder, and Hasselbeck for a 9th rounder.

Of course there were also a couple of bonehead picks (at least as I see it) - Brian Westbrook - 4th round, Stephen Davis - 3rd, Tom Brady - 4th, Tiki Barber - 5th.

We had one guy who always makes some strange picks. This year he picked 5 rookies, only 3 of which are even guaranteed any playing time. He also took Keyshawn Johnson in the 7th round and Josh Brown in the 12th round. He is not considered one of the top 10 kickers and could have been had in the last round. There was tons of good backups still available at that point. This is the guy who won our championship last year though (finished 3rd in the regular season), mainly because he stayed healthy all year.

[Red Dog]

No offense, but a 6-team league? What's the point?

I think a league should be no less than 8.

As for MAC? You totally could help not taking a QB so early. Hence you have these WR's...Never ever take a QB that early unless Culpepper or Manning is around. My QB never came before 4th and usually the 5th.

[Flashback]

Guys...post how many teams/scoring....there is no way of telling if they are really crap or really good. Big diff between an 8 or 12 team league..

Moore...that's a decent team there especially if you have to play a TE.

Just 6 good friends. We actually like having alot of starters because it makes watching the games more interesting as there is more of a chance that you or your opponent will have someone in any given game. Plus, if someone gets hit by injuries, there is usually someone that can be picked up. Besides, with everyone knowing each other it makes for lots of trash-talking and some good year-end awards (we've already given this year's award to the person who takes a kicker first in the draft) .

I am also in a Yahoo league (10-team) and it is fun to be in one a more traditional sized league as well, but nothing beats the monday morning barrage of shit-talking emails that is waiting in my inbox when I get to work.

[moorehed]

also not a fan of ravens team. Harrison first round and... who 2nd?


as for my team, yeah we have to play a TE.

[Red Dog]

Originally posted by moorehed

That's what I was trying to figure out. I don't mind Harrison as a 1st in a 10 or 12 team league - if you're late, you don't have much choice.

[moorehed]

and if he did indeed have a late first round pick then a 2nd round pick of Garner, Buldger, or Bruce makes even less sense... please explain raven.

[raven56706]

No there are 16 teams.... i had pick 12...which sucked

Yeah - that's tough. I snickered at the 6-team league, but 16-team leagues are really tough. I don't think I would ever do one that big - I just think the talent is spread too thin and draft position (even serpentine style) plays a bigger factor than it should.

[raven56706]

Yeah i know...... so by the time i got to pick... most of the good running backs were taken and so was peyton, mcnabb and culpepper

[cdollaz]

Everyone is mocking my 6-team league, so here is what I ended up with in a 10-team league, after dropping the second K, TE, and DEF and picking up some more helpful players (hopefully):

QB:
McNair
Gannon
Plummer

RB:
Jamal Lewis
Stephen Davis
William Green
McGahee
Suggs

WR:
Terrell Owens
Santana Moss
Peter Warrick
Keenan McCardell

TE:
McMichael

K:
Kasay

DEF:
Tampa Bay


I feel pretty good about this team. Hopefully Suggs will keep playing well and become a stud.

[raven56706]

i feel good about my team... just hope that it was worth it....... probably not.... oh well

[grrrah]

QB - J. Garcia
RBs - Portis, C. Martin, D. Foster
Wrs - D Mason, J Smith, R Smith, B Lloyd
TE - K Winslow

Does nasty mean good nowdays? I'm not sure...

But I think that is very decent for a 12 team league Cleaver. #1 QB, 2 top 12 RBs, a little weak at WR maybe.

[beckham]

First of all let me say that this is a friend 8 team league but I still feel it is good for that.

QB: Hasselback, Pennington
RB: A. Green, F. Taylor, T. Henry
WR: R. Moss, S. Moss, A. Toomer, K. McCardell, M. Booker
TE: None
K: Wilkins, M. Gramatica
D: Tampa Bay, Tennesse

BTW...I don't know what my friends were thinking in the draft. I picked last at 8 and still got A. Green.

Yeah, Chad Johnson is an everyweek starter, and I think Bruce has at least one more 1000 yd season, but if he goes down I'm in trouble. I start 3 RBs and 2 WRs, I'm planning on going with a hot pair of hands off waivers for my WRs byes.

If you could start 3 RBs 2 WRs that would be a very strong team. But since you can't it's an OK team.

Is this an automated draft? If not, is there some kind of rule where you have to take at least 2 of each position? If not, why would take 2 kickers, TE's and defenses?

My one league has a roster rule like that.

[apeyard]

Instead of grouping your players into positions, could people please put the order of players they took? Also, make sure to include what draft position you had. My draft is this Sunday and I draft 8th in a very competitive 12 team league. Unless one of the top 7 RB's drop to me, I'm debating between Jamal Lewis and Randy Moss with my first pick. Either way, I'm hoping to get a RB like Davis, Dillon, Barlow or maybe go out on a limb and take Quentin Griffin with the 17th pick.

Any thoughts on Griffin?

If you are trying to gauge what might be available, use the average draft tool on http://www.antsports.com

And I wouldn't take Griffin that high. I think he will have a good season yardage wise but I am leery of how many TDs he will have.

I'd rather take a Davis (Stephen or Dom) than Griffin; if you take Griffin that high you almost have to take Bell, Hearst, and Mike Anderson to be safe.

Yeah and you'll still get fucked. I had Portis, Anderson, and Griffin during my fantasy playoffs last year. Portis gets hurt. So in my championship game I start Mike Anderson since the great deceiver said that he would start and get most of the work. What happens? Anderson gets 5 or 6 carries while Griffin runs for like 150 yds vs the Colts.

That's right. And the problem is you don't which of the 3 will see the most time. I would stay away from Denver guys until the later rounds unless a clear starter is announced.

No rule, this is just me having a backup for the bye weeks. Once the bye week is gone, I usually drop either the defense or the kicker, and pick up some other reserves.

Not to crap on your strategy, but I never take more than 1 K, TE, or DEF. When the bye weeks come, you can always pick up one of those. I use the extra spots in the draft to speculate or for depth. Sometimes you get a great sleeper. And if they do not work out, you can drop them and still get the same K, TE, or DEF that were available in the draft.

[Flashback]

I always take 2 DEF and K's (not a rule either)...never came less than 2nd place in any fantasy team I have had in many years.

No offense taken.

Everybody has different strategies for their teams but I like mine. We have been running the same league for 9 years and with the exception of last year (I came in last), I came in first 3 times before that using this strategy.

[Flashback]

Maybe we are on to something here Lorenzo :)

[Trevor]

I also never have more than 1 K, TE or D. Sometimes, I don't even draft one or more of them.
I often have decisions where I either have to drop a QB/RB/WR that everyone in the league would pick up, or keep them and not have a K/TE/ or D that week. Take out the top 2-4 TEs and they average what, 2 points a week? I'd rather have a handcuff player than 2 points per week.
This strategy works very well for me.

God I wish you would play in my league...I love donations.

Not even picking up a K or D (who cares about TE's)? :lol:

[Trevor]

You don't want me in your league unless you like 2nd place.

I've won about 30 of the 40 leagues I've played in over the years. Although I think one of the DVDtalk leagues was one of the ones that I lost last year.....

And I don't always not have a TE/K or D to start. Just certain bye weeks mainly. For example, say your only TE is on a bye one week, but he is Gonzales or Heap. Your worst player on the bench is maybe someone like Onterio Smith (you have Bennett also). I would rather keep Smith than get the 2 points or so that my backup TE would get. In rare situations I have done the same with K and Ds, and in one league last year I didn't pick up a TE until week 2, since all my picks kept dropping to me in the draft, and all of them were better in my mind that any TE available.

[Chopper]

OK, I'll play along...

14 team league. Starting QB, RBx2, WRx3, TE, K, Def. Scoring is 6 pts / TD, 1 pt / 10 yds rushing & receiving, 1 pt / 25 passing.

QB: Pennington (5th round)
RB: Alexander (1st round)
RB: Barlow (3rd round)
WR: Holt (2nd round)
WR: D. Jackson (4th round)
WR: Burress (5th round)
TE: Winslow (6th round)
K: Edinger (15th round)
Def: Bears (13th round)

I agree on the TE...it is a waste except for the top few...but I always play matchups for D and K and have always picked up two of them. Towards the end I may drop for one for obviouse
reasons.

This may change the logic though...do you have to buy people that are FA's. We always do/did to stop people from picking up and dropping whenever they want.

Also I do not fear you ... ;)

OFF TOPIC...
I am in 3 leagues this year. My buddy and I actually run one of them and have a problem. Every year we have a 10 man league.
The core of players have been the same for many years now.
Someone always drops out but we usually have plenty of time to recruit someone to fill in. I just found out yesterday one has an emergency and cannot draft this weekend and I cannot find a replacement this quick.

I would really hate to go to 8 teams and tell one of our others they cannot play....so that leaves us with 9. What options
besides having a fake team (meaning that you take the avg points of the week and have that as the score to beat for the odd team out that week)? I also do not want to have to draft and run another team that is not mine to make it 10...Any ideas?

[Trevor]

I'd volunteer to play, but have 2 drafts this weekend already.

Unless you can find a 10th player, I'd go with the average points option. Good luck.

It's a bit expensive (350 in and all FA pickups are $20) and the draft is all in person.. Kind of blows to have to do online/phone when everyone else is in the room - did it once for my brother and hated it.

Hopefully someone will agree by the morning since it is early evening tomorrow. I think the avg is the best option I have ever heard of. I really don't want to tell someone they can't play.

Good luck to you as well in your leagues...

I'm in the exact same boat you are. 16 teams, and I was pick 12. And let me tell you, there is nothing, I mean nothing left on free agency. It's ridiculous. Last year, we had 12 teams (it's an office league), and half the fun for me was combing the waiver and free agency looking for steals. This year, all that's left are third stringers. It sucks.

Well, early this morning I was called and now our league is up to 10 ... phew..starts in 5 hours. Unfotunately this year is the first time I am not really prepared and half these guys are hardcore and would love to beat me. I think they might...but I have another 2 this week during the evening I will do much better at. But this one is my league and it's not cheap ... I know I am going to blow some picks.

not great deadlax....but not awful either. Bradford is a steal at 16...he could easily put up WR3 numbers for you....Dillon is a huge question mark right now. He screwed me last year though, so i'm staying away from him.

What do you think of this team. It's with coworkers, one of whom used to play in the NFL, everyone is hardcore, 12 team league. Can only start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF.

QB: Bulger, Brunell
RB: Barlow, Rudi Johnson, McGahee, Fargas
WR: Horn, Ward, Marcus Robinson
TE: Crumpler
K: Vinatieri
DEF: Dallas, Atlanta

Thinking about picking up Rattay, B. Lloyd, Lelie, or Nate Burleson. Any advice?

Did you have the 12 pick in that draft? How did you end up with Barlow, Johnson, and Ward? I can understand having two of them, but it seems weird that you would be able to grab all 3 with such a late 3rd round pick.

I drafted 10th, so my next pick was 15th. I took Barlow at 10, Johnson at 15, then Ward at 34 and Horn at 39. Crumpler was the fifth pick.

Looks competitive; I imagine everyone's team looks similar except for 1 guy who screwed up.

I'd drop Robinson for Lloyd and Atlanta for Lelie.

Here's mine. 10 team league, I drafted tenth. We start 1 QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 DEF.

QB: Daunte Culpepper
QB: Carson Palmer (despite the location, I'm not a Bengals fan)
WR: Derrick Mason
WR: Amani Toomer

FLEX: Anquan Boldin (taken in the last round, for a late-season run ;))

By the way, we have to carry 2 QB, 3 WR, 3 RB, 2 TE, 2 K, 2 DEF, and one flex player for the entire season. I screwed up by picking two TE's with the same bye week, but I'm fairly happy overall.

so there you have it.

Not too hard. Deuce is the only one listed in the top 10 on most cheat sheets, with McNabb and TO in the teens, and Dillon in the 20's. I was more surprised at getting quality at most of the positions, although I do not like the thought of Miami having a bye week and having to play Jacksonville's D.

[chrisih8u]

Eh, Jacksonville is playing Detroit that week, and they had a good defense last year, IIRC. What number did you draft from. #1? :p

[chrisih8u]

Finally drafted

QB: McNabb, Harrington
RB: McCallister, Dillon, Barber, Kevin Jones. Eddie George
WR: Chambers, Coles, Fitzgerald, Kevin Johnson, Keyshawn Johnson
TE: Pollard, Daniel Grahm
K: Vinatieri
D: Philly


Pretty weak at WR, otherwise I'm pretty happy.

solid team. Personally, I'd drop one of your TEs and possibly Harrington. If you need a TE or QB for a bye week you could always pick one up. Pick up a WR or RB off of waivers with your dropped TE and/or QB.

Screw you and your no backup QB policy. :lol:

I picked 2 TE because Im not sure of either one. Ill probably get rid of 1 at some point.

[Jericho]

did my keeper league draft. We keep 3 players each year and I went in with James, Lewis, and Manning. Picked 10th of 10. Fairly normal scoring:

QB - P. Manning, J. Plummer, C. Palmer, E. Manning
RB - J. Lewis, E. James, K. Jones, S. Jackson
WR - A. Johnson, J. Porter, P. Buress
TE - K. Winslow
K - A. Vinatieri, J. Feely
D - Philly, Tennessee

Pretty happy with my draft, although not horribly excited about my receivers. I hope Johnson does as well as I think he can be

[Roto]

Yeah, do you have to start 3 QBs or what? :lol:

Here, if anybody wants to laugh at my non DVDTalk league team. I thought I'd experiment a little with being a homer

QB - A. Brooks, T. Maddox
WR - M. Harrison, D. Jackson, K. Robinson, D. Bennet, R. Smith, J. Galloway, R. Gardner (think that's enough?)
RB - L. Tomlinson, D. Davis, K. Jones, R. Dayne
TE - J. Shockey, J. Stevens
K - M. Stover
D - Seattle

We have to play 2 RBs, 3 WRs and one RB/WR, so I picked a bunch of wide receivers instead of backup RBs. With only a 9 team league :rolleyes: there will be plenty of those on waivers.

Last year drove me nuts when I had Koren Robinson. Now I won't have to worry which receiver caught the ball for the Seahawks, unless it's that point leech Engram :lol:

I agree with Chris & Roto. Solid team.

But why do u have 4 QBs? Granted your league is a keeper league so that changes the dynamics of who is on your team but I'd definitely drop one or 2 of those guys at some point in time. I'd drop a kicker too.

Yeah, I really have no explanation for the 4 QBs. Just not a lot of interesting players available, and I figured I'd take Eli with my last pick just to have two Mannings. I suspect I will drop him soon, I'm just not really interested in any of the players available. Hopefully something will emerge a la Anquan Boldin or Steve Smith

[B.A.]

I am in a 12-team league and here is who I drafted this afternoon (I ended up w/ the 8th pick in the draft):

1) E. James
2) R. Moss
3) D. Mason
4) Q. Griffin (risky pick so early, but I took the chance)
5) T. Brady
6) K. Jones
7) C. Garner
8) R. Wayne
9) J. Witten (our TE's are weighted more heavily this season)
10) J. Plummer
11) R. Gardner
12) Tennessee Defense
13) J. Carney
14) R. Ferguson
15) B. Roethlisberger

I have to start 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 QB, 1 TE, 1 Def, 1 K. My last four picks suck and picked my TE too early, but they were getting picked so quickly that I got caught up in the trend. Roethlisberger was more or less a joke...

[madcougar]

Yahoo 8 team league

QBs: D. McNabb, B. Johnson, B. Leftwich
RBs: A. Green, T. Henry, C. Brown, T. Barber, M. Bennett, and T. Hollings.
WRs: R. Moss, J. Smith, I. Bruce, L. Fitzgerald, and Reg. Williams
TE: T. Heap
K: Akers
Def: Philly

We play QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, WR/TE, WR/RB, WR/RB, K, DEF.

[edclem]

ok, I'll play, too:

My office league, whose scoring system I hate

6 pts TD rush or reception
3 pts to QB for TD's thrown
3 pts/ 300 yds throwing
3 pts/100 yds rushing for RB's
3 pts/100 yds recieving for WR's
3 pts FG
1 pt for extra point after TD

No credit whatsoever if you fall under those goals, and rushing/recieving yards don't combine for RB's or WR's

12 teams this year, I drafted 10th.
By league rules we HAVE to draft 2 QB, 3 RB, 3 WR, 2 TE, 2 K
we can drop up to 2 in the first week's FA meeting

1. A. Green (RB)
2. S. Davis (RB)
3. J. Elam (K)
4. C. Pennington (QB)
5. K. Robinson (WR)
6. P. Buress (WR)
7. R. McMichael (TE)
8. J. McCariens (WR)
9. D. Carr (QB)
10. D. Clark (TE)
11. P. Edinger (K)
12. N. Davenport (Green Bay-RB)

That actually looks pretty good to me. A James/Moss combo with the 8th pick is nice. You got nice depth a RB. Even if Griffin doesn't pan out (although I'd tend to agree with you that he is worth the risk, K. Jones/Garner are decent options). I'm not a huge fan of Mason, but he's a solid starter. Your other WR position looks weak though. Robert Ferguson actually might end up being your 2nd best guy. Witten should be fine for you too.

[chrisih8u]

My only question would be what other running backs were available when you took Mason? Since you got Jones so late you look fairly safe at running back.

If Reggie Wayne has a big game early, I'd try and package him with one of the rookie running backs for a trade.

I picked up Elam in round 3 b/c he was HUGE for me last year. Realistically, he won me more games than my WR's or RB's did. He was averaging 12-15 pts per game, whereas the rest of my team was doing maybe 6-9. (had good RB's, okay recievers, and a weak qb)

Weird. They are pretty standard 1st round picks except it looks like they just forgot about Green.

It doesn't really matter how well Elam did for you last year, no kicker is worth a 3rd round pick. He might be in the top 3 talentwise, but you can't predict the opportunities. Wilkins and Vanderjagt, who were way ahead of everyone last year were #11 and #20 in 2002.
