    Am I crazy??

    Just took Jimmy Graham at 10 and Rob Gronkowski at 15 in a 12 man PPR league. You can start a TE in the flex position. I looked at it like Graham and Gronk are better than any fantasy WR's this year besides Calvin.

    This is a pretty big $ league ($350 entry fee if any of you are familiar with the NFFC online championship leagues)

    What do you think of the strategy TT?

    Don't like it, RBs will be too weak

    I like a lot of the later round RB's this year. We'll see who I end up with. I feel like this strategy is either going to work great (if Graham and Gronk match or come close to last years production) or blow up right in my face.

    Yeah but the guys that have one stud RB will always have an advantage over you because RB is the most important position and it is quite thin this year. Even taking RBs out of the equation, I would take Julio Jones over a second TE.

    Julio was already taken. He went 8th overall...

    Got Lynch is round 3, Bowe round 4, Mike Wallace round 5, Donald Brown round 6 on to the 7th round right now..

    Love the Bowe and Brown picks. very risky move and I don't think it pays off. indeed way too thin at RB

    Kinda like it draft the best tight end and keep the second best off everyone else's.

    Looks like it turned out ok for you, but that's a dangerous strategy to go into a draft with!

    Interesting strategy. Like most said, you would be thin at RB. See how it turns out.

    I was pondering this strategy earlier today, it's bold. Hope it pays off for you.

    He's phucked
    Nobody wins a league taking 2 tight ends, right away

    he'll finish bottom 3 in the league

    Just like LT said, weak at running back

    Someone did that in my league. He isn't very strong at neither RB or WR.

    His top 3 RB's:

    Ryan Matthews (when he returns)
    Doug Martin
    Michael Bush

    His top 3 WR's:

    Kenny Britt (when he returns)
    Justin Blackmon
    Michael Crabtree

    He has Peyton Manning at QB.

    I think you did better then this dipshit did.

    At least you got D.Bowe and M.Wallace. T.Young should have a great year too.

    Yeah he did better than the "dipshit" in your league LOL

    I like Titus alot too, he has potential on his bench at RB as well

    I need Lynch to stay healthy, if he misses more than a game I am in trouble.

    He is long gone.

    It was a 12 man 20 round draft. No trades allowed either (to stop possible collusion).

    Damn.

    I'm going to pick up R.Turbin just after midnight, if he is still there. The guy I'm playing in Week 1 has MJD and M.Lynch. I have R.Jennings and will drop him, which will put him on waivers that won't clear until next Wednesday, and pick up R.Turbin. Keeping him from getting the handcuff for either one this week against me.

    Who are your other RB's? Any other droppable candidates? I think Jennings will see a lot of touches this year. I wouldn't drop him yet. I would see how the situation in Jax plays itself out. I don't see MJD even coming close to what he has done in the past. Overall, I agree with picking up Turbin though.

    R.Rice
    D.Sproles
    C.Benson
    B.Tate
    D.Wilson
    (Screwed himself with that fumble yesterday, but still worth holding on to.)
    R.Jennings


    None really worth dropping then R.Jennings. Once MJD gets up to speed, R.Jennings won't get to many touches. Which I think will be as early as week 2.

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/fantasy-sp...ball-team.html

    I'm basically RB blocking my week 1 opponent by dropping R.Jennings and picking up R.Turbin tomorrow. I don't really need either one. Unless some drastic happens on Sunday/Monday, this bench spot will have to house my back up TE or QB. Both starters go on BYE in week 7.

    Hernandez is back and Lloyd was just added. I like Graham, but I feel that N.E. has too many threats, but last year I thought that and Gronk killed it. Good luck man.

    I've got Fleener on my team lol
