I'm here to make you money in fantasy football

[allenc85]

I'm in a competitive 12 team, standard keeper league, where you give up 2 rounds from last years draft position to keep the player you choose, and you can keep up to 2 players....

That said I pick 5 and the following players are being kept; Jamal Charles - 3rd Round to 1st, Mike Vick 16th to 14th, Vincent Jackson 10th to 8th, Hakeem Nicks 7th to 5th, Ray Rice 3rd to 1st, Ahmad Bradshaw 5th to 3rd, LeSean Mccoy 6th to 4th, Mike Wallace 7th to 5th, Arian Foster 4th to 2nd, Rashard Mendenhal 7th to 5th, Santonio Holmes 9th to 7th rounder.

So to sum up, I can't draft Foster, Charles, Rice, Vick, McCoy, or Mendenhal... all of which are 1st round quality, plus Jackson, Wallace and Nicks will be gone on the turn.

Any suggestions on who to take at 5 under these circumstances?? I'm thinking either Andre or Calvin Johnson, though I might need to gamble on Chris Johnson since I don't have a whole lot to lose... Then I guess round 2 take best available, which is looking like best case would be either Rivers or a Hillis/Greene/Austin tier RB/WR

I'm not thrilled about this draft, but would love some feedback

Does anyone think Antonio Brown will last the season as the #3 on Pitt or will Sanders get that job back?

brown took over #3 and will eventually be #2 from here on out

[shari91]

great team shari, u should post it and gloat

The first part of the draft I think I just fluked through until I got your advice. Thankfully I was able to snag a few of the guys you recommended as well. This is my first time doing this so I'm quite excited - just the draft alone was a lot of fun! $50 entry, 10 teams.

Here's mine -

QB: Brady

WR: Hakeem Nicks, Percy Harvin, Dez Bryant

RB: Mendenhall, Shonn Greene

TE: Jared Cook

K: Henery

Defence/Special Teams: Detroit

Bench: Tim Hightower (RB), Mike Thomas (WR), Jerome Harrison (WB), Roy Williams (WR), Kellen Winslow (TE), Pierre Thomas (RB)

Nice team Shari.

[HOOKEMcnh]

Just did my 12-team auction draft... Let me know what yall think. Standard ESPN scoring and lineup.

QB - Matt Ryan

RB - Ray Rice, Rashasrd Mendenhall, Brandon Jacobs

WR - Roddy White, Dez Bryant

TE - Jimmy Graham

K - Henery

D/ST - Eagles

Bench

Kyle Orton QB
Jermone Harrioson RB
Delone Carter RB
Alex Green RB
Danarious Moore WR
Emmanuel Sanders WR
Jared Cook TE

Was thinking about dropping Emmanuel Sanders for either Jason Hill or Anotonio Brown. Thoughts?

[ttwarrior1]

yes i would drop sanders for a brown

Good team will compete
Any team with 2 top rb will contend
wish you had a better 3rd wr though, but no big deal

anything?

[antifoil]

what two players are you keeping?

[antifoil]

ppr league. i had the 7th pick. i don't like to take a TE early, but my other choices in the 4th was either felix jones or shonn greene. i didn't want felix because i had austin. i take two top receivers in a ppr. so i took gates and still got greene in the 5th so that really worked out. also i was debating taking v. jackson instead of fitzgerald, but i like fitz chance to have more catches.

LeSean McCoy
Larry Fitzgerald
Miles Austin
Antonio Gates
Shonn Greene
Ben Roethlisberger
Marshawn Lynch
Tim Hightower
Danny Amendola
Jordy Nelson
Matthew Stafford
Delone Carter
Greg Little
Rashad Jennings
Nate Burleson

[cranzter]

Took Chris Johnson with the 8th pick. Is he going to be a flop or do you think it was a late round 1 steal?

[goldstein077]

pretty good stuff. I cant wait for fantasy football this year. Really hoping Greg Olsen breaks out this year.

[ttwarrior1]

who knows about johnson, if he plays he will do what he did last year, but he also has games where he does nothing.

[onlooker]

Hey Warrior.

Should I try to trade Stafford for Ryan? So I have Ryan/White? The other guy would have Stafford/Calvin.

Not sure I should. I have a feeling Stafford will be in the area of a top 5 QB this year. Plus with the QB/WR combo, if the QB goes bad for a game, so does the WR. So your hurting 2 players instead of one.

[ttwarrior1]

i think both are gonna have pretty even stats.

who is your bye week replacement at qb and wr that week if you did the trades?

I actually prefer stafford as long as u have a descent backup

Yep what u said if both have a bad week u can be screwed.

No back up yet. I was going to worry about that later. Since Stafford goes on BYE in week 9. Also banking on him staying healthy this year.

Best, Moreno, and Pierre all make me nervous.

Best's Health. (He could be another Jamaal Charles if he could stay healthy)
Moreno with that vulture McGahee.
Pierre in a committy with Ingram.

[AlphaOmega]

I sure hope ray rice has an awesome year ...

[TMoney33]

Great post. I think you've got the right idea loading up on RB's and waiting on your QB. I'm in a keeper $ league. I was offered a 1st and 5th round pick for Vick. I passed, and now I'm second guessing myself. I could have snagged a good 2nd round RB (after taking out keepers) with my first pick, and then grabbed a decent QB with my 2nd pick. Vick can be explosive, but also very risky.

12 team ESPN Standard League, drafted #5, 50$ live draft

QB - Ben Roethlisberger
RB - Ray Rice
RB - LaSean McCoy
Rb/WR - Frank Gore
WR - Kenny Britt
WR - Austin Collie
TE - Jimmy Graham
K - R. Bironas
DEF - Lions

Bench: Willis McGahee, Mike Tolbert, Plaxico Burress, Rashad Jennings, Antonio Brown,
Javon Ringer, Jerome Harrison

QBs flew off the board

should i target a solid wide receiver or is this team complete?

Collie should do well, and Britt just needs to stay out of trouble. Your RB's will carry your team.

[Mr Handicapable]

Collie? I live in Indy and news isn't good? He has knee/leg issues and then when he finally plays there is the concussion issues that could end his career? I like Garcon much better at this point....Peyton worked with him in the spring alot b4 the neck surgery.

[ijenpo]

Where the best place to get a cheatsheet/compiler? I'll give up some points for a good one.

12 man ppr league should I drop mike Williams Seattle and pick up ports bc he's in talks with Seattle? My wr core is my weakest but I've always liked ports...what's ur take on williiams? I have mike Williams tb and Seattle manningham Mike sims walker and Antonio brown start 3 wr a week in league

[ronibrown]

Good work shari

I live in indy too. U gotta admit, collie has the potential to be a top 5 fantasy receiver. Caught the highest percentage of balls thrown to him in the nfl (81%)


Now if he can stay on the field

[hockeyman30304]

Where will mark Clayton be on rams wr core??

[mjag21]

who do you suggest at 2 with AP off the board?? Was leaning toward foster today until i heard he might be out... draft is in 15 minuets.

[ttwarrior1]

i guess you already picked, you should of known ahead of time what to do here. Depends if ppr. A few good players to pick at 2. Take foster and then tate later

Who cares about ram receivers, it will be spread around too much but bradford will have a very good year.

[bfour]

I'm gonna give you guys my defense strategy for the year. Every year I wait till the end of the draft and pick defenses based on their matchups week 1 and then add/drop every week. This year I am waiting till the end and taking Arizona. Week 1 they host Carolina, week 2 they go to Washington, week 3 they go to Seattle. That would be Cam Newton, Beck/Grossman and then Tavaris to start the season. Then go get someone else. That's my strategy it's worked out great. I see no point in missing put on a Hightower or Tolbert in order to get Pitt or NYJ's D.

[Roadtrip635]

should i target a solid wide receiver or is this team complete?

I'm guessing you're gonna need another WR at some point, maybe sooner than later. Collie's health is still questionable and Britt's hammy is still not 100% and when those hamstrings are tweaked they are real susceptible to re-injuring or making it worse.

[ttwarrior1]

all my leagues are done unless i join another

[TMoney33]

Here's what I drafted in my keeper league. I know I'll need a backup QB, and I'm worried that I'm too weak on RBs.
14 Teams - QB,RB,RB,WR,WR,WR,W/R/T
Off the board (keepers): AP, Foster, Rice, J Charles, Chris Johnson, L McCoy, Calvin Johnson, McFadden, MJD, Gore, Mendenhall, Nicks, S Jackson, Rodgers, DeSean Jackson, Bowe, Hillis, M Turner, Blount, S Greene, S holmes, T Brady, Brees, Rivers, Gates, R Grant.

I was #6, and it was a snake style draft.

My Team
Keeper - Vick
Keeper - R White
Rd 1 - Forte
Rd2 - B Marshall
Rd3 - J Maclin
Rd 4 - M Tolbert
Rd 5 - S Rice
Rd 6 - R Meachem
Rd 7 - J Graham
Rd 8 - M Hardesty
Rd 9 - D McCluster
Rd 10 - J Janikowski (25% of Moves go to longest FG)
Rd 11 - S Vereen
Rd 12 - J Graham
Rd 13 - SD DEF
Rd 14 - Delone Carter

There is definitely room for improvement here, but with so many top names being kept, it's pretty tough. What are your thoughts?

[ttwarrior1]

u need some bench wr

is antonio brown available. at least u got to keep vick and white. For 14 teams its pretty good and u got a chance to win it all. Surprised graham lasted till 7 and meacham before him

[AlphaOmega]

My team ppr 8 team league

Qb: Aaron Rodgers, Matt Schaub
RB: Jamal Charles, Matt Forte, Mike Tolbert, Joseph Addai, Reggie Bush, Darren Sproles
WR: Reggie Wayne, Stevie Johnson, Mario manningham, Steve smith (car), Julio jones
