i play in a PPR league so WR are more valuable, as well as, receiving RBs. turner should be a mid to late second round pick in my league.

[blix177]

Wow good write up, pretty sure you going to dominate this year.

[antifoil]

I completely agree warrior about that strategy. That was probably the strategy I was going to use. I implemented that strategy last year and got Chris Johnson and Adrian Peterson and didn't make the playoffs.... I also had Roddy White at WR. Spent 2 bucks on Zach Miller. and got Kolb for 2 bucks. Obviously he didn't work out but still was able to pick up Josh Freeman. That Strategy to me on paper feels like the ideal way to go. We start a flex so 2 rbs/2wrs and a flew of one of those 2. I like going with 3 rbs. It just worried me to do it again since I missed the playoffs last year. To me an ideal team though is your exact thought process. It just made me wonder how eeveryone thought starting 2 qbs changes that thought? Is a top 8 Qb needed? Thanks for your input.

in a 2 QB league or an extras spot where you have the option to start a QB, you have to get a decent QB to start there. depending on points QBs will score more points on average than the other positions so you need those extra points.

Great info/I'm kind of new into FF in comparison to other guys in my league who research and bring all sorts of magazines and data to the table. This info will be a big help to me. thanks

[iwantcougars]

nice info, i usually dont go high on rb, last year i rode with hillis, mcfadden and later picked green ellis, due there are always rising star @ rb is comparison to other positions

[spurginobili]

Impressive write-up TT.

I've always believed in drafting backs early as well, but it depends on the scoring structure of the league.

[ttwarrior1]

do it sbr, put up a fantasy football section

[AlphaOmega]

Good write up I will do some more work and rethink my draft strategy

[onlooker]

Yahoo 12 team league. PPR. QB.RB.RB.WR.WR.RB/WR.TE.K.Defense. Snake Draft.

I was thinking of RB,WR,QB,TE, then load up on RB's and WR's with the rest of my picks. Then Defense and Kicker in the last two rounds. Also depends on the spot I pick from, plus there will always be changes on the fly, due to the way others are drafting. But this maybe my set drafting strategy.

I feel there are more options at RB/WR later in the year then trying to figure out who to start at QB and TE each week. If you get a top 7 QB and top 5 TE, you will be good there until their BYE week. So if I load up on the RB's and WR's in the later rounds, I could possibly get the sleeper that breaks out this year.

I just feel safer with a solid QB and TE.

I will probably leaving Rookies out due to the shorten off season, and stick to players on teams that are in the same system as last year. If all possible. Because of a shorten time to learn the system.

Two years ago I drafted WR.WR.RB.RB.QB. and finished 5th or 6th, can't remember.
Last year I drafted RB.RB.WR.QB.TE. and finished 3rd.
So I figured I would try a different strategy this year and see how it works.

I will do some mocking this year, to see how things go.

[ttwarrior1]

u wont be able to load up on rb because their won't be any left, good luck with that. and hope your in my leagues

I'm sure all the RB's and WR's are going in the first 4 rounds.

Sorry, private league.

If I can't get Gates in the 4th round, I will most likely pick another RB and wait for the TE in the 5th or 6th round. Like I said, it is going to change on the fly. It always does. Either way, my late rounds will be full of RB's and WR's until the last 2 rounds for the Defense and Kicker.

[onlooker]

Plus it is early, my strategy could change. I haven't studied anything yet, or mocked drafted yet.

My draft is set for August 28th (Not smart to draft early, with all the late moves, and possible injuries). So I have time.

advice for a 16 team league?

[ttwarrior1]

16 team league i need to know how many rb, wr , flex you start

Wait for a qb for sure in a league like this. I would go rb rb for sure in this league

Id go rb rb,wr, wr, wr, qb te, depends if jimmy graham is there or whoever. D and k last 2 picks

[survive]

just had my main $ league draft tonight. drafted from the 3 out of 10 teams (in order by round)
cj2k, fitz, nicks, bryant, greene (wasnt too happy with this pick but like him more than bradshaw so went with greene), o daniels, m ryan, leshoure, gb def, aj green, fred jackson, tolbert, bradford, mike thomas, rashad jennings, ryan williams, josh brown. need backup wr's

[daimoshokage]

great job tt

[Qtip]

I'm a also a proponent of rb rb. One league I'm in has decided to go go 3wr/2rb/flex, this is starting to make me wonder. Thinking I should probably go rb wr then rb or wr depending whose there. What you think tt?

[ttwarrior1]

as long as u get a top rb, im all for it, good pick with r williams, and mike thomas up there

[jackpot269]

Thanks tt have a good one !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[will2survive]

join Draftstreet. Seems to be a good fantasy site

[ttwarrior1]

ill pass on draft street, i don't like anything about them

[will2survive]

what's wrong with Draftstreet?

[NOREGRETS]

Thanks bud! Great info.

[Glitch]

join Draftstreet. Seems to be a good fantasy site

its a really good site but they dont do season-long leagues. or multi-week leagues.

[jjgold]

Warrior your sharp as far as spotting good players, I can see you doing well

Try the draft sites on here

[shaunovery]

Good write up who do think will throw the most td passes

Manning/Brady/brees/rodgers

[Joe Sharp]

TT - I'm in a 10 Man league that starts 2 QB's. Even if RBs are slim this year I absolutely need a top5 QB to compete. Other than that the lineup is the same as typical (non PPR) leagues.

Thanks for the info!

[ochenta y cinco]

Nobody here has played more leagues , studied more fantasy football or done more mock drafts then me.
Example of a team like this would be
I did a mock in the 1 spot and drafted this team

A foster, Forte, blount, lloyd,holmes, manningham, jimmy graham, josh freeman,m stafford, mike thomas, Leshoure, b edwards,phily, roy williams, demarco murray

Doesn't Lloyd, Holmes and Manningham seem a bit weak as WR starters? No real WR1 value in there IMO, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Granted Lloyd's value skyrockets with Orton throwing him the ball instead of Tebow...

[Jeffito11]

Thanks for the writeup, way better than the articles I've been reading. I'm really anxious for football to start! I agree with the RB RB strategy for the most part, unless a stud WR or QB falls into your lap. If I draft 3rd and wind up with Foster I'd be stoked, but I don't see that happening in my league. Best of luck.

[SpreadSniper]

how does everyone think A.P will fair this year given their plight at OT?

[ttwarrior1]

Experimental mock draft going wr wr just to try it out

12th pick

Nicks, roddy white, p manning, l bount, k moreno, m lynch, manningham, j graham, m bush, jordy nelson, ronnie brown
jets,k orton, leonard hankerson, alex henery, saints, andre roberts

You can realistically get a team like this, but just need to decide if you are okay with blount, moreno, lynch,

If i had to do it again, i could of passed on manning, or took rivers, or a bradshaw to have a better rb

I highly recommend to mix up your mocks at mockdraftcentral.com and fantasyfootballcalculator.com and espn

[ttwarrior1]

another rb rb rb wr wr wr qb te mock

1st pick:
1. arian foster
2. matt forte
3. m turner: fell to me because its a ppr draft, still couldnt pass it up.
4. b lloyd
5. s holmes
6 m mannigham
7 j graham
8. e manning

10 mike thomas
11 roy williams

[EDDIE MONEY LINE]

I like to draft the best player available...but i usually try to get stud rb first

[Ninersnut]

You told a story last year of how you made a fake league with all the teams except for the person you were trying to scam and still lost. I think I'm good guy.
