just dont get it, why take a rodgers with 2nd pick both teams are good, but i slightly like team B better , close though, i say u could have 100 voters and it would be split

For whatever reason QB's in that league always go fast.....1st pick overall was Brady, 2nd Rodgers so obviously AP was my pick and then Vick went to #4!

I am team B and my reasoning for thinking my team is better than his is that he took Colston (dont like him this year) Crabtree (hurt and unproductive) and Baldwin (hurt and a rookie WR = bad combination). He has a very shaky bench in my opinion...not that Knox and Roy Williams are much better but they are in a Mike Martz offense so they should be throwing the ball.

I think my "steal" of the draft was getting Brandon Jacobs in the 14th round.........what do some of the others in here think?

**Mr Handicapable** · 08-23-11, 10:07 AM

Team A by a pretty big margin imo. For starters...I think Houston's D will be alot better so Schaub won't be in so many shootouts. I think losing Sidney Rice is really going to hurt Peterson & Harvin as well. Minn still has a good TE but Harvin is the only deep threat now. Gates should still be productive but he's getting up there and has some injury problems. Roddy White has to share some catches with the rookie WR Jones so I see his #s dropping a little. I agree his bench isn't much so nothing is for sure? I like Jacobs....gets the goal line chances and Bradshaw could wear down? I picked up Marion Barber late for the same reasons.

**Mr Handicapable** · 08-23-11, 10:30 AM

Some sleepers or atleast underrated players for consideration:

Felix Jones....has a chance to be a Top 4-5 back imo with speed and hands. Dallas always has a massive O-line and can run the ball if Romo is in there for balance. I've had 2 drafts and Mark Ingram has went ahead of him both times....don't see that working out?

Tim Hightower....speed, hands, and he's 220 lbs. He's always had talent but fumbles and Arizona is a passing team. He might be really take off under Shanahan's blocking schemes. Torain is too slow & always injured....Helu would be the man if Hightower keeps fumbling

Kevin Kolb.....good arm, mobility, Larry Fitzgerald, and a weak schedule with good weather. My backup for both my teams so far although Eli Manning fell and I missed him in 1 draft....safer pick of course

Jimmy Graham....great athlete and Brees always works the TE alot. KC is moving Moeki (sp?) around alot like Dallas Clark in practice and he's a good sleeper as well

Team defense....whoever is playing Cincinnati! I have Cleveland locked and loaded Week 1....Cincy's upside is maybe 2-3 wins....they're going to be that bad on offense this year!

Thanks for the info...........I 100% agree abuot Felix Jones and wanted him but he was gone.....I thought about trading for him but thought Peyton Hillis was more valuable than he was. Actually all of the people you listed were gone in our draft and I liked them all, but Felix Jones the most. Anyone else have input?

**NYSportsGuy210** · 08-23-11, 12:36 PM

Definitely take Greg Olsen if you need a good TE sleeper this year.

Other good sleeper include: (1) Tim Hightower (2) Danny Amendola in PPR leagues especially (3) Joshua Cribbs (4) Jimmy Graham (5) Denarius Moore (6) Lions Defense

**ttwarrior1** · 08-23-11, 12:56 PM

freevick, take greg olsen

Jimmy graham isn't going low in my drafts except on espn because he is ranked lower there. I still won't touch a redskin rb because of the coach and so many rb on the roster. After watching last nite i kind of likethe giants d, they have a good returner on kicks and returns

**allenc85** · 08-24-11, 08:41 PM

QB - Eli
RB - Charles, RMathews, Tolbert, DThomas, MBush
WR - CJohnson, Austin, Williams (TB), Manningham, MThomas
TE - JGraham
D - Giants
K - Henry

last pick - should I get a QB, WR, or RB (BA is Torain and Jennings RB wise)

**ttwarrior1** · 08-24-11, 09:17 PM

who is left at qb, gresham? no better tight end?

Like the rest of the team especially the wr and d, k,

**NOREGRETS** · 08-25-11, 07:36 AM

I have my first draft on Sunday. 12 team league, not PPR, and I have 4th pick. Start positions are QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, Flex (RB or WR), TE, DEF, K. I am assuming AP and Foster go 1 and 2. However, if Vick or a top receiver goes in the top 3 picks, and I have the choice between Rice and Charles, not sure who I will pick. Any suggestions? I could also take a stud WR? Definitively waiting on a QB till later in the draft (maybe 8th round?). Planning on going WR and RB for the first 7 picks and saving Def and K for last two picks. Any suggestions? Thanks fellas!

**allenc85** · 08-25-11, 08:03 AM

I ended up picking up hasselback,,, there weren't many TEs left and I got Graham in the 9th round... I wanted to go for either a Torrey Smith or Rashad Jennings, but turns out the league rules put a cap on Free Agent moves at 10, so knowing I'd need a QB week 7 saved me 1 of those moves (not to mention, I think MH could end up being a 12-15 range QB)...

NOREGRETS - can't go wrong with either, I personally like Rice better because I think he is more involved Running and Receiving, and both RBs had an issue last year with getting goal-line carries. Also, don't be shocked if one of them is gone, as a lot of drafts I was in went AP/AF/JC or AF/AP/JC, so they might decide for you. In my 12 team league, the team in front of me at 6 got Romo in the 9th round (but I think I was drafting with a few teams that are retarded)

**blittydeuce** · 08-25-11, 08:05 AM

Does anyone have a spot left in one of their leagues?

**pavyracer** · 08-25-11, 08:52 AM

I was #5 in the draft of 12 teams.

I picked Charles, Rivers, Jennings, Gates, Ingram.

Thanks! I am surprised that you got such a nice team with taking a QB sooo early.

**Landscaper** · 08-25-11, 02:21 PM

I pick 9 in a 10 man ppr league.. was thinking bout taking 2 wr with my first 2 picks.

Any insight on what to do as this is my first year doing a ppr league

I guess quality players always fall thru the cracks but Jennings in the 3rd round....29th overall?

**hockeybum16** · 08-28-11, 09:06 AM

My team

My team based off of your strategy/advice.

12 team league
Non ppr
I had the 4th pick

QB - Matt Ryan, Sam Bradford
RB - J.Charles, Forte, R.Matthews, R.Jennings, D.Woodhead
WR - M.Austin, M.Williams(tb), A.Collie, Lee Evans, Torrey Smith, Andre Roberts
TE - Jimmy Graham
DEF - Chiefs
K - Billy Cundiff

Thoughts?

**rm18** · 08-28-11, 09:39 AM

Those receivers are bad but I guess it is not that important of a position as much in your scoring

**DrSize** · 08-28-11, 11:08 AM

I did my first NFFC draft on Friday in a 12 team league and I was picking 12th and this is my team...pretty pumped over who I got

QB - Stafford, Freeman
RB - McFadden, Forte, Hightower, M Bush, Jennings, Gerhart
WR - Nicks, S. Holmes, Harvin, Britt, E Sanders, J Simpson
TE - Keller, Cook
K - Janikowski
D - NYG

The only thing I didn't like and want to do is draft Forte since him and McFadden both have a bye in week 8. However with Forte available in the 3rd round I couldn't leave him there and had to draft him. I can live with one bad week where I may take a loss because of not having good RBs in...worth the gamble in my opinion

**AlphaOmega** · 08-28-11, 01:13 PM

Quick question #1 pick overall in a ppr league would you choose Ray Rice?

**onlooker** · 08-28-11, 01:25 PM

I would say Foster, but he has a hammy issue. Next would be CJ, but he has contract issues. So I would say LeSean McCoy or Ray Rice. I do not want to pick 1st or 2nd. 3rd thru 7th would be great. Watch me get stuck with 12th tonight.

**AlphaOmega** · 08-28-11, 02:39 PM

I went with Ray Rice

I have one bench position left. Draft was yesterday so I have a couple of days until Free Agency is possible. Will definitely drop and add players once I can. Picked Andre Johnson for my first pick after Rice, Foster, Peterson, Charles, Johnson, etc were picked before me. Best RB option I had was Turner, decided to take A .Johnson and wait a round to grab Forte or S. Jackson. Ended up going WR, RB, WR, RB in the first four rounds. Was able to grab Forte. Let me know how my team looks. Be honest.

P.S. Reason for suspect later bench picks was because the draft started at 1 a.m., bordered on 3 a.m. by round 12, and most of us wanted to get out of there and decided to fly through later picks. I personally, wasn't thinking by round 13, 14, hence Gerhart.

**BlackAces** · 08-28-11, 08:51 PM

my draft was yesterday please analyze. I had #8 pick in 12 team league. 1/2 ppr Here are my draft picks in order.

Sure as sh!t. I ended up picking 12th. But I feel real good about my team. I had to sway off my original plans of RB.WR.QB.TE., because there was such a big run on QB's in the first round it surprised the hell out of me. So by the time it got back to me at my 3rd pick, all the QB's I wanted were gone.

I will post results in a moment.

**onlooker** · 08-28-11, 11:14 PM

OK. I wanted Matt Ryan at QB after my plans of pick rotation was killed, because of my #2 pick, but the pick before I was going to pick him, guess who went...Matt Ryan. So I waited a few more rounds to get my QB.

Remember, this is a 12 team PPR league. I got the #2 rated PPR back at 12th pick. Amazing.

QB - Matthew Stanford
RB - LeSean McCoy
RB - Jahvid Best
WR - Roddy White
WR - Reggie Wanye
TE - Jason Whitten
WR/RB - Knowshon Moreno
K - Dan Carpenter
DEF - Lions

Bench: Steve Smith (CAR), Pierre Thomas, Mike Thomas, James Starks, Davone Bess, Michael Crabtree (last pick before DEF/K).

I'll post round by round draft later.
