Im drafting #6 in a 12 team draft. what should my strategy be?

[zoo youk]

I would not touch the Niners backfield...

no i'm not. was just referring to your Jacobs comment.

[zoo youk]

People on Yahoo draft weird, first time I saw brady drop to #11 spot....

QB-Brady
RB-Forte
RB-Bradshaw
WR-P.Harvin
WR-D.Jackson
WR-A.Brown

Not sure about a team like that but these QB's get like 600 points basically like 3 rb's....

they def do. the mock I did...Rodgers, Brady, Brees, Newton all went in the 1st round

12 team PPR league, 16 man roster. I think I have a pretty nasty team. Thoughts?

QB - Rivers, RG III
RB - Jamaal Charles, Steven Jackson, Ryan Mathews, Donald Brown, Evan Royster
WR - Calvin Johnson, Steve Johnson, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Austin Collie, Jerome Simpson
TE - Brent Celek, Heath Miller
DEF - Eagles
K - Randy Bullock

Depending on settings, RGIII is probably your starter. If only 4 pts for a passing TD - then for sure.

BTW, I know Royster is only a depth pick because you are stacked at RB - but any insight on this guy? Always looking for info on later talent.

[ChalkyDog]

I'd love Charles in second round, but at 11th overall it depends on what's out there. My own order after Big 3 is Chris Johnson, McFadden, Forte, Charles

I love Forte for multiple reasons, one of them being a homer - however, what do you think of this guy in the redzone? Bush is going to take about 8-10 rushing TD's this year.

4.5 pts per TD, but there are bonuses for a passing game of 300 yards or more, and a few bonus points for touchdowns more than a certain number of yards.

Regarding Royster, I don't know too much about him, but he should be their starting RB. He's a good late round pick. My sheet has him ranked 37th among RBs

AUG. 15 UPDATE: Evan Royster will once again draw the start for the Redskins this weekend, as Roy Helu will likely be out with Achilles' tendinitis. Mike Shanahan doesn't think Helu can handle a full workload, so this will further convince him that he's right. Royster is the overwhelming favorite to be the starting running back. - WalterFootball

And yet……

Rushing     	ATT 	YDS 	TD 	LG
Alfred Morris 	10 	34 	0 	21
Tristan Davis 	10 	26 	0 	8
Evan Royster 	2 	20 	0 	13

I say yes but ChalkyDog disagrees. It's moot if one of the Big 3 RBs gets to you, then there would be no debate.

foster, rice, and.....?

McCoy

ok fellas starters are complete...just have kicker defense and bench to go. heres how it panned out.

rd1 run DMC
rd2 Matt Forte
rd3 Julio Jones
rd3 Percy Harvin
rd5 Aaron Hernandez
rd6 Peyton Manning
rd7 Brandon Pettigrew
rd8 Malcom Floyd

[zoo youk]

stacked at TE

[zoo youk]

GREAT first 4 picks. Defense is a waste on round 9, should always make K/D your last 2 picks

[zoo youk]

Ben Tate and Nate Washington on my bench so far

[zoo youk]

i was stuck between Manning and Cutler......i have a feeling im gonna regret not taking Cutler

6th seems high for Peyton. Don't know if these guys were left but my order is Romo/Rivers/Ryan/Eli. If those all gone, then look elsewhere and take Cutler in Round 7

they were all gone. every seems to be drafting QBs so early. I wanted Rivers but he went 2 picks ahead.

(i think it was 6th, maybe I took Pettigrew 6, cause Rivers went than manning 7th) have to look)

Ok then I would have waited until Round 7 for a QB

[zoo youk]

draft complete, bench is

Ben Tate
Nate Washington
Steven Ridley
Andy Dalton
Vincent Brown
Jerome Simpson

[k13]

Hard to believe you got JJ in the 3rd, never saw that in a 100 drafts.

[zoo youk]

Believe it or not aj green lasted till the fourth i was sittin on him but he went four picks before I took Harvin... Crazy

[k13]

a.j. is just another wr. No one really talking about him.

[k13]

Antonio Brown probably just moved up 20 spots after tonight. lol

[Ghenghis Kahn]

julio jones is over valued this year. aj green still puts up better numbers than julio this year...

[Speedy88]

Well you know that Rodgers, Rice, Foster and LeSean will be off the board by then. You'll have a decent shot at Calvin with the #6 pick.

My question is who do you take if these guys are off the board: Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Foster, Rice, McCoy, Calvin, CJ2K? I'm thinking Forte or McFadden......My guess is those guys will be off the board by pick 9. I'm not big on MJD at all. Not sold on Andre's health, and Fitz will be held back by the Arizona offense and whoever the QB is.

Julio Jones ATL WR
A.J. Green CIN WR
Brandon Lloyd NE WR
Tony Gonzalez ATL TE
Roy Helu WAS RB
David Akers SF K
Detroit Lions DET DEF
Kevin Smith DET RB
Toby Gerhart MIN RB
Kenny Britt TEN WR
Andy Dalton CIN QB
Jared Cook TEN TE
Nate Washington TEN WR

Feedback?

[CrazyCarl]

Best player available, unless that means taking a bench player too early.

That is all.

Guys I think I had a great draft last night in a 12 team league, held the top pick and while i hate how that goes usually i feel i did a good job.

QB: Romo
WR: AJ Green, Julio Jones, Miles Austin, Eric Decker, Greg Little
RB: Foster, Bradshaw, Ridley, Tate (took a rd earlier but wouldve been gone before i could pick), Starks
TE: Tamme, Olsen
K: Bryant
Def: Houston.

I think i got a squad but a little weak at RB i think....thoughts?

Are you high? He should start Rivers for sure. Chalky you are not good at this. Otherwise he has a decent team depending on how Collie and Eagles Def do. I'd say you finish anywhere from 6th to 9th

It is hard to tell because we don't know the scoring settings. But I'd say you are solid....anyone with Arian Foster in the backfield can't be considered "weak" at RB. Probably finish anywhere from 1st to 4th with that team.

[zoo youk]

how are guys managing to get both aj green AND julio jones?

[fergie's balls]

7 team league?
