I would drop Troupe (you only need one TE until bye) and a kicker. Pick up Norwood or White and Anthony Gonzalez. Remember when Petyon had Stoakley in the slot? That's what Gonzalez is going to resemble.

I love norwood as a sleeper wanted him in my league but got drafted.

Raven, I think your team looks decent, but I hate your QB positions, but I imagine in a 16 team league there isn't anything left. I would also ditch Bennett for pretty much anybody else.

Mittman

Just got finished my draft. Ten team league with two keepers. We start 1 QB, 2 WRs, 2 RBs, 1 TE, 1 Flex WR or RB, 1 K, 1 D.

QB - Donovan McNabb PHI
QB - Matt Leinart ARI

RB - Steven Jackson StL
RB - Brian Westbrook PHI
RB - Jerious Norwood ATL
RB - Warrick Dunn ATL

WR - Reggie Wayne IND
WR - T.J. Houshmandzadeh CIN
WR - Darrell Jackson SF
WR - Mark Clayton BAL
WR - Issac Bruce StL

TE - Kellen Winslow CLE
TE - Owen Daniels HOU

K - Matt Stover BAL

D - Chicago

I know I shouldn't keep two TEs, but that is my weakest position. I think both have potential for a solid season, but I feel like I should keep both because I am not 100% sure who will emerge the better fantasy player.

I picked up Dunn on the wire for Matt Jones. I have enough depth at WR, and I'm nervous that Dunn may indeed be the starting back in Atlanta. I'd rather use a RB than a WR in the flex spot, as they're most likely going to put up higher numbers.

Anyone on the roster I should get rid of? The only decent players left are Matt Jones, Brandon Marshall, Green Bay D, Oakland D, Eddie Kennison, Joe Horn, and Vernand Morency.

Insanely crazy, especially if its a ppr league.

You guys should really look at the points last season according to your scoring charts.

The difference between the top QBs vs the next 15-20 is not that great. While the difference between the top RB's and the next 15-20 RBs is much greater

IE, thats why people always say go RB's first. Because once you get past the first 10-15 RBs, it starts to look crappy, while you can still find a solid QB 10-15.

Keeper league?

I'd take Gore without knowing scoring/keeper etc.

So no sugar coating...how did I do? I had the #2 pick and this is my first FF draft. Our flex position is actually TE or WR so I’m thinking I may not play my tight end much (all of my WR have different bye weeks so I could always play a combo of three each week). I know I drafted two defenses and kickers but if my top 3 RB's all go down, I think my season will be over anyway, so I wanted to pick up a good bye week defense (Tenn will be playing Oakland that week). Thanks everyone.

12 team league:
QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE/WR Flex, K, DEF

QB: Romo, Lossman
RB: S. Jackson, Marion Barber, DeShaun Foster, A. Peterson (chi), Chris Brown
WR: Chad Johnson, Donald Driver, Deion Branch, Mushin Muhammad
TE/WR Flex: Vernon Davis
Def: Ravens
K: Robbie Gould

25 pass yds: 1
20 rec & rush yds: 1
Passing TD: 4
Rushing or Reception TD: 6
Field Goal: 3 pts, 4 if over 50 yds
No negative points
Bonus points for low points allowed

starman9000

In my league the difference between the 8th RB and 25th is only like 30 points, where as the Difference between the top 2-3 QBs and even like the 8th is 100+ points. The same is true to a lesser extent with the WR position too.

IDrinkMolson

Do you think Phillip Rivers is worth an 8th round pick in a 12 team league? We have one player we can keep as our 8th round pick, but they had to be picked rounds 12 - 16 the year before. I have Rivers, and I'm not sure it it's worth it. It's nice going into a draft knowing you have a starter for a position though.

Also, anyone falling to the 12th round and beyond that would be good for a keeper next year? Any back-up RB's on a contract year that might be starting somewhere else next year?

Flashback

Got mine coming up. I am pretty confident in what I will be picking (on what's available) for all postions except for DEF.

I usually pick them late but besides the obvious (or I think obvious) CHI and BALT does anyone know a list that looks pretty accurate or any thoughts that may be overlooked by others? The 2 above I am assuming will be gone by the time I ever pick but the majority should be still around. Thxs.

Byron_T

This is how I have the top 16 defenses ranked. CHI and BAL are the top two. Then NE and SD. After that I think they are hit or miss. I never draft a defense very high so I always miss out of the top two but you should be able to get something good later on. You could also play matchups if you wanted.

Michael Turner is the backup for LT in San Diego for one more year. He'll be a starter for someone next year and has looked great whenever he's played, but he won't get much time unless LT gets hurt.

Flashback

Great - thanks. Yes - I will never draft a def high at all.

IDrinkMolson

That would be a good one. But, looks like his ADP is 8.1, so he probably won't be there in the 12th round, when our keepers for next year start.
I guess whoever gets LT takes Turner as insurance.

devilshalo

I got this trade offered to me:
Jon Kitna, Donald Driver, Larry Johnson for...
Philip Rivers, Andre Johnson, LaDainian Tomlinson

starman9000

Sounds like a good deal, take it. Kitna will score 90 TD's this year.

neiname

You'd be crazy to give up Tomlinson.

tbone

Turner got hurt in a preseason game. So you might be able to get him later, even though he probably won't play.

Nagheenanajar

Alright here is my team. Are there any upgrades I should make?


QB - Bulger, Hasselbeck
RB - Alexander, Rudi Johnson, McGahee, McAllister
WR - Driver, Darrell Jackson, Horn, Glenn
TE - Crumpler, Heap
Def - Miami
K - Stover

Byron_T

How many teams are in this league? I am curious how you got 2 of the top 8 RB's, 2 good QB's and 2 top tight ends. I guess your receivers leave a little to be disired but overall it should be a descent team.

By the way, your sig is linked to the old DVDAF.

LorenzoL

I'm guessing that it is a 6 team league.

fujishig

Wow, that's gotta be a small league (or you have a lot of keepers). Even the receiver corp is decent, considering you have four potential starting RBs. What's on the waiver wire?

With my 12/13 picks in a twelve team league, I went with RB/RB in Bush and Travis Henry. Everything was going ok until I just couldn't pass up Gates in the 4th, which led to a below average receiving corps. Here's my lineup:

QB: Kitna, Leinart
RB: Bush, Henry, Deangelo Williams, LenDale White, Maurice Morris
WR: Boldin, Reggie Brown, Santonio Holmes, Brandon Jones, Ernest Wilford
TE: Gates, LJ Smith
Def: Denver
K: Mare

I didn't reallly want to take LJ Smith, or get stuck with Brandon Jones, Maurice Morris, or Ernest Wilford, but there was a serious run on Wide Receivers early and even the sleepers on my draft board were gone. Any deep, deep sleepers that might still be available in a 12 team, 16 man roster league?

Also note that I am a USC homer, but did not plan on reuniting the 2004 USC team...
