f_trizzy Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Is anybody in a league like mine were you have to pick def players? Also I have the #2 pick and was thinking of taking Rodgers, Brady, or Arian Foster. Tough decision Unless you are in a league that really caters to QBs, I would not take either Rodgers or Brady at #2. If I was in your shoes, I would gamble on Jamaal Charles. But if you want to play it safe you can always go Peterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Michael Bush Detroit New Orleans Jason Hanson. How'd I do? too many good RBs, not enough good WRs....Do you plan on starting 4 RBs and 1 WR in your league??? Seriously though you need to trade a RB or 2 and pick up a elite-good WR. Do that or trade for a elite TE...they should come a bit cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibbsFactor Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I just wanted to give this a bump. Who would you guys drop for a kicker? I can't drop any IDP guys. Sproles or Meachem. Probably Sproles. ---------- Post added September-1st-2011 at 12:45 PM ---------- too many good RBs, not enough good WRs....Do you plan on starting 4 RBs and 1 WR in your league??? Seriously though you need to trade a RB or 2 and pick up a elite-good WR. Do that or trade for a elite TE...they should come a bit cheaper It's a 2/2/Flex league. I'm more than happy with my receivers. Little worried about TE/Kicker and Defense. And how do you possibly have too many good running backs? Receivers are set. Are you kidding me? Mike Wallace Dwayne Bowe Mike Williams AJ Green That's 3 top 15 wrs plus a top rookie prospect. I dunno dude. ETA: The draft was crazy, I picked 9th out of 10. QBs went flying off in the first.

CrypticVillain Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Question: Am I wrong in thinking that Ray Rice will have one of the best fantasy seasons ever? I think Flacco and Lee Evans will have a good thing this year and I think that the result of that will open up the defense for Ray Rice. I am expecting double digit rushing and receiving TD's from him this year. Unfortunately, I couldn't draft the sob in my league because I have been picking so far back. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwack Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Also, I play with IDP and it is pretty simple. You can pick up guys week to week. Sometimes the studs here don't mean much. I disagree with your stance on IDPs. It depends on the format of the IDPs, whether you play 2 DE's, LB's, & DB's or just 5 IDPs (like my league does). If you have to have DEs and DBs then I would wait and play it week by week; however, if it's just any IDPs, the elite LBs can put up double digit numbers and really make a difference. Once you get your depth at RB and WR, and other guys owners start drafting D/ST, go after IDP LBs. My IDPs are all LBs, which are the safest and best way to go. I have Mayo, Timmons, and Poslusnzy who all averaged close to 10 ppg last year, while my other two are Curtis Lofton and David Hawthorne. If you drafted correctly and got depth at your specialty positions, then that frees you up to go after elite IDPs in back to back rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess what I meant to say is most people don't understand IDP enough and it is easy to pick on guys on the waiver wire. This morning I just picked up Mayo and Patrick Willis. We start 3 from any D position. So I will go all LBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliz Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/211173/holdout-over-cj2k-lands-$30m-guaranteed Holdout over: CJ2K lands $30M guaranteed Titans agreed to terms with Chris Johnson on a four-year, $53.5 million contract. It's actually an extension, so Johnson is locked up for six years. CJ2K will get at least eight days of practice in before Week 1, giving him plenty of time to prepare to play against against the Jaguars. Owners drafting this weekend can safely select Johnson No. 1 overall in most formats. Even if he is eased in slowly at first, Johnson will resume every-down status rapidly. His deal includes a whopping $30 million in guarantees and a $13.3 million annual salary on the new money. If those numbers hold up upon further examination, CJ2K will have gotten exactly what he wanted -- elite player, not just elite running back money.

bushwack Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Well with CJ signing a new contract extension, expect to see him skyrocket in drafts into the top 2-3 easily. 4-year extension worth $53 million, with $30 million guaranteed. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d821e025f/article/johnson-titans-agree-on-fouryear-535-million-extension?module=HP11_breaking_news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, I drafted him #1 overall last season in a league and I definitely didn't get the ROI I was expecting. Luckily I also snatched up Foster before losing in the playoffs to the ******* that had Vick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I traded Vick for Andre Johnson while he was injured, thinking he would not be the same, and that team won the championship. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rictus58 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Just curious - what factors into the Coach, scoring-wise? Margin of victory in the NFL and team penalties. Head Coaches Result: Win = 3 pts Tie = 1 pt Winning Margin Every 10 pts = 1 pt Team Penalties: 3 or fewer penalties = 3 pts between 4 and 6 penalties = 2 pts 7 or 8 penalties = 1 pt 11 or 12 penalties = -1 pt 13 or 14 penalties = -2 pts 15 or more penalties = -3 pts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACW Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 I like the standard: 1 QB 2 RB 2 WR D/ST K And I think Ray Rice from Rutgers will rebound rushing and receiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he checks down A LOT plus, he doesn't have the injury concerns. Personally, depending on the league, I'd take lynch over greene. Greene's got a crowded backfield to contend with.

RVAbrendan Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I assumed Rice. I'm hot on DMAC though, barring injury. Same sort of situation as Rice...but on a less-talented team. Ah heck I'll keep both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
