Drop Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I really wanted Johnathen Stewart. I think he has a better season then Deangelo. Yo ualso have a lot of talent on your bench with Owen Daniels and Chester Taylor (who will be the feature back on CHI... mark that) and great potential with Golden Tate. You had a great draft.Dez is going to have a great season as well, thats why i neglected Roy Williams in the draft and got B. Berrien instead. Coluldnt believe Roy Williams was still there though. Playing with Defensive players left a lot of talent in the FA pool. Were you one of the teams that took an early run at kicker? Gould was my last pick. No, that early run on kickers was absurd. I took Kris Brown with my very last pick. Only reason i didn't take Gould was because you did. I took Daniels too early and meant to grab a WR in that spot...but i'm happy with the depth at TE so that's not so terrible. Not extremely thrilled with my WR's. If DeSean Jackson goes down i'll be hurting...as will most of us if one star WR gets hurt being that it's a 14 team league. But i have Witten @ TE, so that's basically high end WR numbers right there. But, i think Royal produces somewhat, hopefully comes up big in the return game this year. And I hate having Witten and Dez Bryant on my team, so i might look to move Bryant if i can find what i want in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 crappy position to pick an elite qb in first 4 rounds it always felt like a reach on a qb after brees and peyton were gone before i even selected and i dunno i think mcnabb should have a decent year 12 team leagues are a little tough on depth 14 team league is tough on depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubbs Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 14 league team.QB- Jay Cutler RB- Chris Johnson RB- Shonn Greene WR- DeSean Jackson WR- Michael Crabtree TE- Chris Cooley W/R- Mike Wallace K- Matt Prater DEF/ST- Packers BN- Jason Campbell BN- Jericho Cotchery BN- Johnny Knox BN- Greg Olsen BN- Darrius Heyward-Bey Good Lord, that's your roster in a 14-team league? Were you drafting with 13 inanimate objects? That's a hell of a starting lineup. (Although, to be fair, that might be the worst bench in the history of benches.) Anyway, my current roster for a 12-team, 3-WR, 2-RB, 1 flex, no PPR league: QB: Tony Romo sits to pee (unfortunatelty) WR: Reggie Wayne WR: Roddy White WR: T.O. RB: Clinton Portis RB: Arian Foster TE: Vernon Davis FLX: Robert Meachem DEF: Baltimore K: Will be picked up at last possible moment to save a roster spot during preseason BN: C.J. Spiller BN: Montario Hardesty BN: Reggie Bush BN: Tim Hightower BN: Darren McFadden BN: Steve Breaston BN: Devin Thomas BN: Anthony Gonzalez I'm thinking about trying to deal one of my starting receivers and Portis for a lesser receiver and better running back, but if Larry Johnson has another game like last night on Friday, I might be smarter to hold off on that.

I think your rb's are pretty strong. I dont like Driver for some reason... I avoided him. Be wary about Heap, he is getting old. Id drop your second string kicker and replace with another RB or WR, then when your kicker is on the bye, figure it out at that point. ten team league means there is still some quality on the FA wavier wire. Id look for a starting WR there if it were my team, and swap out Gano. Nobody is gonna rush to take Gano off the FA wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ONLY knock on him is that Kyle is no longer the O coordinator there. I hope they kept the same scheme when he left. It wasnt broken so....

Ok I took your advice and dropped Gano and added Devery Henderson, I also dropped Heap and added Visanthe Shiancoe. Thanks for the feedback.

I hope they kept the same scheme when he left. It wasnt broken so.... That's not the only knock on him, the major knock is that he's coming off major knee surgery and hasn't been cleared to practice yet. He's going this week to the doctor to seek approval to start practicing and playing again. IMO Daniels is a very big risk, and the TE position is so deep, that I would just avoid him all together, unless you can get him for dirt cheap, such as the last 3 to 4 rounds of a draft.

Yeah, it's his third ACL tear. That kept him completely off of my list, like The Comb's knees kept him off the draft lists of a few NFL front offices.

afkidd Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 how is my team looking QB - Mcnabb, Kolb WR - Andre Johnson, Reggie Wayne, Robert Meacham, Dez Bryant, Chris Chambers RB - Jon Stewart, Caddilac Williams, Matt Forte TE - Chris Cooley, Fred Davis Def - Washington 12 team league and I'm pretty much betting on McNabb having a great season, and the Washington defense getting a bunch of turnovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurseReversed Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Make sure you post how many teams in your league. There is a big difference if you are in a 8 league team I would say your team sux, in a 10 team league I like your team to make the playoffs and when you make the playoffs you always have a chance to win the championship and if you are in a 12 team league I love your team. Malcom Floyd is going to be MONEY this season! I cant believe tom brady lasted until the 30th pick in your league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Ok I took your advice and dropped Gano and added Devery Henderson, I also dropped Heap and added Visanthe Shiancoe. Thanks for the feedback. Glad you picked up another TE. Watch Heap though. he may be old, but because Ray Rice and Boldin will be commanding so much attention he may be worth watching in the coming weeks, into the season. Still, you got the Vikes TE? Good call, Favre throwing him the ball will get him in the endzone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing happened in my draft too, so I'm not being a dick, just giving my opinion. Get with the times, grandpa. :pfft: The age of outright running back dominance is over, because the age of the workhorse back is over. Sure, the Adrian Petersons and Chris Johnsons of the world are still worth their weight in gold to a fantasy player, but there just aren't that many of them around any more. Beyond that, most leagues now require you to start more wide receivers than running backs. The best way to create a significant advantage over your opponents, then, is to beef up on your air game once the top-tier RBs are gone. That said, his running backs are really bad. Stewart's a starter for most teams, but Cadillac is a long shot and Forte is even longer. He should have targeted several backs that each have a legitimately good chance of busting out this year, and banked on one of them doing so. I don't think Caddy and Forte have legitimately good chances. If he had Stewart and a collection of, say, Jahvid Best, Arian Foster, and Michael Bush, I'd say he'd have done exactly the right thing by going after stud receivers early. One of those guys will beat expectations by a hefty margin this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACW Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I DID get A top QB (Schaub), one of the best TEs (Gates, who should get even more looks w/ V-Jax out), the top D (Jets; resign Revis!), and a top kicker (Kaeding). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
