You've got a few injury risks, but if they manage to stay healthy that's a very good team IMO. Will also need Eli to be 2011 Eli, not 2012 Eli.

Ppr?

Agreed, I think a lil bit more of 2011 Eli will show up since you have a 2nd yeawr running back, I expect giants to throw the ball a bit more thjis year rather then run, so I think Eli was under valued

[Monitor-Tan]

Ppr?

Oops forgot to post, NON PPR, standard scoring.

[Terrapin Station]

I like it. Like you mentioned, a lot of these guys have a high ceiling. I think Vernon Davis will have a killer year. Alex Smith isn't too bad an option either, coming off your bench.

Thanks I'm hoping the injuries don't kill me which is the achilles of this team and it's very realistic.

I picked up EJ manuel which the QB uncertainty at buffalo he can be a great filler especially near the end of the season and also KC and Buffalo plays each other on Eli's by weak and as season progress I'll have to see which QB I want as my by week filler on week 9, and if anything I can drop either or and pick someone else..

I like Deandre Hopkins a lot this year I think he's a sleeper. I wanted to pick up Thompkins in NE but someone stole it right before me =(

Eli is undervalued
Jamal Charles is overvalued - Andy Reid ruins running backs.
Nicks is great if he's healthy.
Jackson is a bust, even in his "prime" the guy never scored TDs
I don't like Forte in the 2nd round,

[BigSpoon]

Could be good, depends on Eli bouncing back really.

[Speedy88]

I actually kind of like your team. Only guy I don't really like is Eli. I would much rather have Luck, Romo, Kaepernick, or Wilson over Eli. You're set at RB. Charles and Forte are studs. Fitz is going to have a huge year now that he actually has an NFL caliber QB, Nicks has WR1 potential if he stays healthy, and DeSean could have a breakout year under Chip Kelly. I also really like Vernon Davis this year at TE. Good team.

Oh and great depth on your bench with Richardson and DeAngelo Williams. Panthers RB's are a mess to own, but DeAngelo could have some value while Stewart is injured to start the year.

[stikymess]

Not bad, how is your scoring for Defense? Saints won't get you bonus points for holding teams under 20 points but they do get turnovers.

Thanks for the input I do agree with most of what you said but I disagree about Charles. If you mean Reid isn't RB friendly because he's more into passing then yes I agree, but Reid had good RB's for him Westbrook and Mccoy did well under Reid. Jamaal Charles is probably the 2nd best "catcher" on KC next to Dwayne Bowe so total yardage Charles should be ok, and he's also got the break away speed so he's got the upside.

That's pretty much what I went with, I don't expect them to keep teams under scoring, but I feel they are going to do well with turnover, and special teams/defense TD's this year so took a gamble with them. If they suck I can always drop them and pick another team with good match up

Agreed. Reid doesn't necessarily "ruin" RB's. He just uses them differently. Charles may not get quite as many rushes as he has in previous years, but I'm sure he'll catch the ball a lot more. I could see Charles getting up around 60 receptions this year.

Thanks for your input! I agree that Eli's really not the top caliber QB you want even in the middle of the order draft but sadly to say, Romo got taken a few slots before my pick, or I would've went with Romo. I'm not sold on Wilson yet so I was happy to let him slide. Of all the QB's that were left, I felt Eli was the one that had the higher ceiling. I just feel the Giants will throw more this year because of the "non veterans" on the RB slots. Wilson in sophomore year, and Andre Brown is just injury waiting to happen so to speak, and would block more for Eli then run. There's also higher chance of Giants playing from behind so felt Eli can rack up yards in a hurry. He's a good 2 minute drill player.

I stole Richardson lol. I didn't really "need" him I could've went else where BUT, it's also important to NOT allow my opponents to have a descent RB's so I had to take him and felt Deangelo William can have a descent year. I'm hoping Deawngelo can put on a good showing for the first 3-4 weeks while Stewart is out and hold onto a big chunk of plays even if Stewart is back.

Brian Westbrook? 2011 McCoy?

Wilson over Eli? That's the Hawks fan in you coming out. You don't want a game manager for a fantasy QB.

[darrell74]

mediocre

it's winable with the right schedule

Daryl Richardson as a backup isn't bad, you might use him more than a backup

[C-Gold]

Brian Westbrook? 2011 McCoy?

How did McCoy do last year?

[dudekid]

solid team, high upside with RBS i like it

[dudekid]

also i disagree, i love forte in the second round, going to be a huge year for him (at least thats what it looks like) i am very bullish on forte this year

[dlunc3]

How did McCoy do last year?

you are blaming a year where not only mccoy got hurt, but every member of his offensive line to go along with awful qb play, on Andy Reid? Yea, lets look at 1 yr rather then the previous 10. And you wonder why you come in last in your leagues every year

[dlunc3]

Even as far back as staley.. Reid has made staley, Westbrook and McCoy all fantasy studs... So say Reid ruins rbs is absurd

[TPowell]

love this lineup, Eli is weak but who cares. It's one position. Bench could be a little stronger at WR though

[Monitor-Tan]

Yes I think Richardson has a great upside and I havea f eeling he'll be in a few times throughout the season.

Thanks TP!

I do believe you are right that Eli is a bit weak compared to what my opponents have in this league, but maybe Eli's 2011 will show up haha, man can only hope. I thought my backup WRs were descent but I will have to relook into it. Gosh Gordon will be the #1 guy in Cleveland and with Turner in as OC, I feel their pass game will open up a bit and Gordon can sneak in and do quite well this year.. Minus the suspension LOL... I took Hopkins as he'll be their WR2 this season, even with Texans primarily on their running game, I think Hopkins can do well as a filler. Who knows what i'll get out of Alshon lol. Thanks for your input!

[SCS]

If Nicks can stay healthy, your WR group is tremendous. Love the value of Josh Gordon as a bench player who can step in and produce like a WR2 once his 2-game suspension is over.

The NFL ruins RBs, not Andy Reid. He's actually many good years out of his #1 RB.

[Monitor-Tan]

Loving it so far...

[Monitor-Tan]

Eli: 31.80 Points
Fitz: 20
Nicks: 11.4
Jackson: 15 with 2 quarter to go
Charles: 16
Forte: 15
Davis: 21.80

Bailey: 13
Saints: 8

I wish it's like this every week..

[peacebyinches]

[Monitor-Tan]

Into the finals next week!

Into the finals next week!

Good to see a successful update. Lots of people post their teams in the beginning of the season and you don't hear from them again. Did you replace Eli?

[Grits n' Gravy]

Into the finals next week!

Congrats! The shine off your avatar's head is blinding.
