^Starters look solid besides Helu. I will never pick up another Shannahan RB.

Did another draft in a ten team league. $50 buy in. Let me know what you guys think.

QB: Matt Stafford
WR: Calvin Johnson
WR: Greg Jennings
WR: Antonio Brown
RB: Fred Jackson
RB: Doug Martin
TE: Greg Olson
Flex: Reggie Bush

BN: Jared Cook
BN: Cedric Benson
BN: Peyton Hillis
BN: Denarius Moore

Drafted 7/12 in my second league today:

QB: Drew Brees
RB: Marshawn Lynch
RB: DeAngelo Williams
WR: Julio Jones
WR: Jordy Nelson
TE: Vernon Davis
FLEX: Miles Austin
DL: JPP
DB: Troy Polamalu
D/ST: Jets
K: Jason Hanson

BENCH:
Joe Flacco
Santonio Holmes
Kevin Smith
Ronnie Brown
Danny Amendola
Jermaine Gresham Soon to be dropped for Robert Turbin, Lynch's handcuff)
Stephen Hill (Took him with my last pick. Just testing to see how he does in the first game)

As you can see, I'm in desperate need of a RB. I'm currently looking to package one of WRs for a RB.

Thinking about packaging Miles Austin and Kevin Smith for Willis McGahee. Am I giving up too much? Figured that Kevin Smith's value would drop as soon as LeShoure is back.

Pretty nice draft. You're loaded at WR and have enough RBs who won't have much of a time share. That's what I was going for this year also. I like Matt Ryan...especially this year. He won't put your team on his back very many weeks but he won't necessarily be the reason you lose either. Cook started to kill late last year. Hopefully the connection with him and Locker is there. Britt returning could open Cook up even more. Not sure about your defenses though...as long as they don't take points from you though. Prater will get plenty of kicks. Overall...great draft. Potential championship.
 
7 Darren McFadden, Oak RB
14 Adrian Peterson, Min RB
27 Michael Vick, Phi QB
34 Jordy Nelson, GB WR
47 Antonio Brown, Pit WR
54 Doug Martin, TB RB
67 Torrey Smith, Bal WR
74 Matt Ryan, Atl QB
87 DeSean Jackson, Phi WR
94 Beanie Wells, Ari RB
107 Seahawks D/ST D/ST
114 Joe Flacco, Bal QB
127 Jets D/ST D/ST
134 Brent Celek, Phi TE
147 Sebastian Janikowski, Oak K
154 Joel Dreessen, Den TE

Rate away. I know...I took Run DMC and AP pretty early...largely due to my 2 friends who want them both badly. :lol:

the hater boxden: Love your receivers, don't love your RB2. Already rated your team previously. As far as the trade offers, I would accept MJD and Fred Jackson for Megatron. You could counter with MJD and Fred Jackson for Fitz to see if the other manager takes the bait. I wouldn't do the second trade. Miles' hammy continues to trouble me. Fred Jackson is a very good RB2 but not worth Fitz.

That offer you made for Ray and McGahee may favor the other manager, but I suppose it's a move you have to make with WR surplus and RB2 need.

Thank you! I didn't see your post a few pages back just went back to look at it.

Hope I can make some moves by wednesday. I heard this guy might trade away arian foster for andre johnson and fred jackson :stoneface:

i see your RB weak, maybe flip Steve Smith (who i think is going to regress) for another RB

Murray has to have back to back seasons and with the Bryant, Witten and Miles all hurt idk how effective the run game is going to be.

Helu depends on RG3 and that Skins Oline

Ingram is in a crowded backfield
 
Drafted 8th in a 12 team

NICE RACKERS

WR-White

WR-Maclin

WR-Wayne

RB-Forte

cubanref: Barring serious injury to MV7, you're likely playoff bound in my book. Keep a very close eye on Britt's situation. Washington and Wright's values go up if Britt can't go. I see a monster season for Martin, I'm talking legitimate RB2 numbers easily.

vvsvito: 9/10. Russell is no risk, potential trade bait if he balls. Rivers will bounce back. Matthews and Trent risky, but you probably got great value and should see return after W3. Your RB depth is insanely good, I'm thoroughly impressed. WR depth is also solid. Loving A. Brown and Young, been hyping them for months. Wright's huge if Britt can't go. Only "weakness" is Celek but you can upgrade easily through FA pool or trade.

Buc Em: 7.5/10. For selecting Brady and Jimmy the first two rounds, rest of your squad filled out pretty nicely. McGahee is a potential weakness, could look to upgrade that through the Martin owner. Julio and Martin is awfully tempting, but I'd hold back, not for Shady. It's not actually an elite receiver you need. Two solid RBs would be a better offer in your case for Shady. Something like Charles and Martin for Shady.

antj2k2: 6.5/10. Q (Boldin) is a weakness. He's declining as Torrey is rising. McGahee is adequate at RB2, nothing more. Could look to upgrade that through trade. I'd start Bush or Moss in the Flex before Wilson, purely Ahmad Bradshaw insurance. Who you looking to add for Daniels? Not sure I would drop him for Taiwan Jones at this point. Only if DMC picks up a knock really.

Dh20: Organization is definitely key and helpful to all managers in a fantasy draft. Sometimes purchasing the huge dry erase board can be worth it in serious hometown leagues. Draft kits and other materials as well. You went VD a little early for my taste, think he's overrated for fantasy. Could move Ridley in a package for a better RB2 with Blackmon or DeAngelo. Track Vereen closely since you have Ridley at the moment.

Zyzz: Yes, he returned to practice today actually. Was out a week with the ankle injury. Best on PUP and Leshoure currently suspended. He has high projections at least initially. Could start as a RB2 temporarily. Although there are better long-term options.

SonOfTony: Gutsy to go Shady first pick. I like it if you believe in the move with full conviction. Grab your guy. Three strong RBs. Receivers are solid. Two high-potential TEs. 9/10 for me.

Illonaire2006: I wouldn't start MJD W1 in any format. He's rusty and needs at least two weeks adjusting to game speed. Jennings is the temporary starter for the Jags. I'd start Martin easily as my first choice. Stevie second. Law Firm third.

I'd definitely start Bradshaw over MJD. Ahmad is seemingly always hurt but tough enough to play through it. Don't see the hand contusion affecting his running style much. Wilson may steal reps so Stevie close to Bradshaw for me in terms of who to start, even on Revis Island.

Antidope: 7/10. Huge value with Britt on the bench. Helu too unpredictable to start in the Flex. Starting lineup looks good. Love your receivers, especially Julio. Forte a beast. Expect lower numbers from Reggie this season. Couldn't you have done better at TE than Dickson? Like Fleener or Rudolph. Track Winslow's situation. Are Cobb or Amendola available in your deep league?

krazyl3gz: 9/10. Only thing I don't like is Olsen at TE. Good bench depth. Reggie solid in Flex. Receivers stacked and I see big things for your RB pair.

CrazyFlipNYC: 8/10. Don't make that trade. Too good of a package for McGahee. You're right about Smith's value potentially dropping though once Leshoure and Best come back. Miles and Kevin Smith should get you Lynch, Fred Jackson, that type RB. Maybe even MJD if you're lucky and the owner panics. I would actually drop Hill and not Gresham for Turbin, Lynch's handcuff. Don't like the idea of two Jets receivers on the bench. Start Kevin Smith initially at RB2 over DeAngelo. Huge projections because of his pass-catching ability.

MisterP035: It's really up to Martin to produce. He reminds me of Ray Rice and will certainly get the chance and touches under Schiano. Coach Schiano clearly wants to run the football hard in Tampa like he did at Rutgers. Blount is the clear backup. Martin can catch. I love him as a RB2. Think he has the potential for a top-40 fantasy producer season.

Nothing wrong to take DMC and AP where you did. Only other RB I might have considered would be Forte. Where was he taken? Jordy, A. Brown, DeSean, and Torrey very solid across the board. Gives you flexibility. You went high for MV7 but insured yourself with Matty Ice. This squad is a 9.5 and potential championship contender. Jano at #147? Nice. I wouldn't hold Jets D, Seattle is top-6. I would definitely drop Dreeseen as well for an extra RB or WR, if you decide to hold onto NYJ D.

the hater boxden: Your whole league should veto against that trade. Dre's value is hampered by injury. Not fair IMO.

MrONegative: 7/10. Only question is Smith, Helu, or Brown at RB2. Start Kevin Smith initially at RB2. Not big on Malc Floyd in fantasy or holding Olsen as a backup TE.

bobbyphills: 7.5/10. Pushing 8 with a Greene trade for a better RB2 or Flex. Technically Sproles is your RB2 so we'll call Greene the Flex. Could also upgrade your WR3. I like Wayne but it's hard to project his numbers with a rookie QB, even if it's Luck. WR4 depth is weak also. Santana good value, but you don't want to be depending on him as a starter if say Wayne goes down with injury.

fraij: Have you drawn for pick order yet? I'd highly recommend going QB within the first two rounds. RB with the other pick in the first two rounds. Something like Stafford or Cam and Forte would be a huge get. Although it's a two-QB league, I wouldn't panic about missing on a QB in the first two rounds if Matty and Cam are off the board. But then you're forced to take someone like Eli in the fourth or fifth. Then Romo or Rivers after that, for example. So ideally if all goes to plan: QB, RB, WR, WR (interchangeable), RB (interchangeable), WR, QB. I'd honestly wait until late as possible for TE (Cook, Fleener, Gresham, Rudolph), K (Gould and Henery), and DEF (G-Men). Still try to go BPA when possible even with the two-QB setting. At least it's not 6-point passing TDs, gives you more flexibility instead of reaching for QBs.

Retro and DSA: Please let me know if a spot opens up next season. You guys know I'm good for bringing the heat weekly. Best of luck to you guys drafting.
 
ChampCruThik...it's a two keeper league and I kept Brady and McCoy from last year. My first two picks were Fitzgerald and then Jimmy Graham...I had the 6th pick. Brady, McCoy and Graham should all give me elite numbers at their positions each week, McGahee should be in line to have a pretty big year, Fitzgerald will still put up very good numbers no matter who the QB is and I think Antonio Brown and Garcon should have real good years this year. Plus Bears D and Matt Prater should be among the best for D and kickers. You really think I should try and make a trade? Also, as a Bucs fan I personally think that Mike Williams is going to have a bigger year this year than Vincent Jackson, and you'll be able to get Mike several rounds after V-Jax is taken. Tate and Michael Bush should put up solid numbers, but if Forte/Foster goes down both of them can put up VERY good numbers. I think Ryan Williams is going to take the starting RB spot in Arizona too and have a breakout season. I really like my team :lol:
 
:pimp: Thanks for the advice. I'm going to ride out with this current roster through Week 1. Hopefully Witten doesn't play (I play against him in Week 1) which should equal more touches for Austin. I will be switching out D.Williams for K.Smith.
 
12 team league

My draft last night:

6th pick, 12 team, .5 PPR, QB, 2RB, 2WR, TE, Flex

RB: DeMarco Murray, Doug Martin, Willis McGahee, Donald Brown, Ryan Williams

Did a draft last night with my bros10 Team league no PPR. Thought I did pretty solid besides the fact that I drafted Helu in the the 6th round ahead of Doug Martin, Reggie and Bradshaw.

QB-Vick
RB1-Mccoy
RB2-AP
WR1-Dez
WR2-Steve Johnson
TE-Jimmy Graham
Flex-Helu
D/ST-Sea
K-Crosby

Bench:
Denarius Moore
Big Ben
Malcolm Floyd
CJ Spiller
Owen Daniels
Mike Williams
Brandon Jacobs
 
Buc Em: Thanks for sharing the keeper details. More information given, the more accurate and easier to rate a team. I don't see McGahee running the ball like last year. It was an anomaly with the Tebow-based offense. Peyton will run a different show through the air. Hillman and Ball ready to take Willis' place in the near future. I agree about Antonio Brown having a monster year, possibly bigger than Wallace. Garcon also, but to a significantly lesser extent. RG's Smitty this season. I also agree with the sentiment that V-Jax won't quite produce like he did in SD with Rivers. I don't know what to expect from Williams. I like him later in drafts for WR4 and WR5 depth. Once again, I wouldn't make the Shady for Julio and Martin trade. You could stay put, but I prefer a better RB2 than Willis. Just my preference. Can you wrangle Martin to play behind Shady? That would be exceptional.

Crazy Flip NYC: Anytime, my man. Witten is doubtful to play the midweek opener against the NYG. Dallas would be unwise to rush him back for W1 and risk further damage (spleen). Might as well give Witten the extra four days beyond a week to recuperate fully for W2 (9/16). More targets for Dez and Miles.

Patb23: 7/10. On the money about upgrading at WR. I would start Cutler at QB first to give the Marshall connection ample time and value. Sure, Big Ben will air it out under Haley but he needs time to link up with Wallace. Plus he's battling multiples injuries. I'd trade Burner Turner for a WR2 and slide Stevie to WR3. Would round out your squad better. I would try getting a Percy Harvin-type if you can for Turner. If not, Antonio Brown or Marques Colston. Dwayne Bowe possibly.
 
EAGLE 0N: 7/10. Brady your cornerstone. Not sure if Palmer is worth a backup spot. Guys like Russell and Locker have high-risk, high-reward potential that Palmer doesn't offer. Like all five of your RBs honestly. It's receiver that worries me. I like Lloyd and Garcon quite a bit, but as WR2 and WR3 more than WR1 and WR2 respectively. Cobb a major sleeper. Denarius is battling injuries like Ford, DHB getting majority of early targets. Try trading McGahee for a WR2.

parada45: Wow, talk about a tough call. Can't you start both at WR2 and WR3, or Flex? Jacksonville's defense is extremely underrated but Percy gets touches in the return game, receptions, and rushing. Especially more looks with AP nursing himself back to full-health. Brown will be Big Ben's #1 target like in camp until Wallace gets acclimated. It's truthfully a toss-up. My slight hunch (based on no facts, let me make that clear) is Brown will have the better week. Trust Big Ben more than Ponder as well.
 
ChampCruThik: I am starting Fitzgerald and R. White. So it's either Brown or Percy lol.
 
Appreciate the feedback Champ

Definitely hope to swing one of my RBs for a WR2. Kinda reached for McGahee in 4th, when I should have drafted a WR1 but they're were plenty of WR left on the board.
