DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Fantasy & Gaming I'll start the first one of these for the year (Rate my teams!)

Drafted 2 different teams tonight. I'm not real thrilled about them, but, we'll see how it goes, I guess... Both are 10 team, standard ESPN leagues...

Team 1-
QBs- Brett Favre, Donovan McNabb

RBs- Frank Gore, DeAngelo Williams, Cedric Benson, Ronnie Brown, Tim Hightower, Montario Hardesty

WRs- Steve Smith, Donald Driver, Pierre Garcon, Steve Breaston

TE- Jermichael Finley, Ben Watson (I had to lol)

K- David Akers

DST- Cowboys, Giants

Team 2-

QBs- Kevin Kolb, Jay Cutler

RBs- Adrian Peterson, DeAngelo Williams, Knowshon Moreno, Matt Forte, Joesph Addai

WRs- Reggie Wayne, Anquan Boldin, Braylon Edwards, Dez Bryant, Steve Breaston

TEs- Brent Celek, Evan Moore (again, I had to lol)

K- Rob Bironas

DST- Vikings

Braylon dude? Really?

That said, if they played each other, I'd take team 2.

PPR? Lineup requirements?

Not a fan of your QBs. Also never draft 2 d/st ever. Also not a big fan in drafting multiple TE, but since you took Moore a Brown, I'll let it slide.

I only took two DST's because it was my last pick and I already had two QB's, 6 RB's, 4 WR's.

The best QB left was Kyle Orton.

The best RB left was Jason Snelling

The best WR left was Devin Hester

I decided to take a solid defensive option instead.

I would have gone for Snelling, or a WR. I'm sure there were some upsides guys left at the position, a Robo, or someone along the lines. You can pick up a def to stream any week as long as you watch the match ups. Last pick so not a huge issue.

Here's who I got in my draft last night:

QB Peyton Manning (Ind - QB)
WR Larry Fitzgerald (Ari - WR)
WR Greg Jennings (GB - WR)
RB Frank Gore (SF - RB)
RB Thomas Jones (KC - RB)
TE Dallas Clark (Ind - TE)
W/R Jerome Harrison (Cle - RB)
BN Clinton Portis (Was - RB)
BN Heath Miller (Pit - TE)
BN Laurence Maroney (NE - RB)
BN Fred Jackson (Buf - RB)
BN Tim Hightower (Ari - RB)
BN Brian Westbrook (SF - RB)
K Ryan Longwell
DEF Baltimore (Bal - DEF)

It's not cool to draft against kids. lol.

Good team!

I just had my first draft and I'm VERY happy...

8 Man league - standard scoring - 1 QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF.

I was pick 7.

I think you have a good team for an 8 person league. I'm glad you took Forte cause I feel he will have a bounce back year; especially from what I heard about him in camp. CJ Spiller is a very good risk for a rookie. I don't like Steve Smith this year but you never know my man.

---

Thanks man! I agree with you on Forte and CJ. Now I'm hoping Steve Smith returns to form now that guy Jake Delhomme is in Cleveland.

I guess we will see!

Shouldn't you be busy drafting for your communist-soccer fantasy league or something?

INV...

good team. Steven Jackson in round 5? are the others in the league developmentally disabled?

Sounds like a diet sodeberg league to me.

i drafted last night. 8-man league, std scoring.

QB Jay Cutler (8)
WR Andre Johnson (2)
WR Roddy White (3)
RB Frank Gore (1)
RB Ryan Grant (4)
RB/WR Ronnie Brown (5)
TE Antonio Gates (6)
K Garrett Hartley (14)

BN Santonio Holmes (13)
BN Monterio Hardesty (15)
BN New England

obviously weak at QB. strategy was to get consistency out of the WR, RB, and TE positions rather than get a stud QB. also some strange value choices, but they were made b/c of abnormal runs in this league (e.g. defenses EARLY).

You took a def that early and then a back up def? Not a fan of that.

i know you're not...saw your other post on that. i did take my back-up last. our league is strict on the # of moves you can make, so we don't have the luxury of stocking up on long-shot RBs/WRs at the expense of bye week replacements for other positions.

I started an offensive/defensive league last year with scoring as followed.

Offense
Passing Yards 25 yards per point; 2 points at 250 yards; 4 points at 350 yards; 6 points at 400 yards
Passing Touchdowns 4
Interceptions -1

Rushing Yards 10 yards per point; 2 points at 100 yards; 4 points at 150 yards; 6 points at 200 yards
Rushing Touchdowns 6

Reception Yards 10 yards per point; 2 points at 100 yards; 4 points at 150
yards; 6 points at 200 yards
Reception Touchdowns 6

2-Point Conversions 2
Fumbles Lost -2
Offensive Fumble Return TD 6

Defensive Players
Tackle Solo 2
Tackle Assist 1
Sack 6
Interception 6
Fumble Force 6
Fumble Recovery 2
Defensive Touchdown 8
Safety 2
Pass Defended 1
Block Kick 4

Seemed to have went over extremely well and everyone that was in it loved it, so I brought it back again this year. This is a 12 team league

I revolved my draft around defensive guy's (or else I wouldn't have picked Ben but there is really no-one left) and tried to pick as many players as I could that accumulate a ton of tackles, last year I went with alot of guy's that were sack artists but that proved to be too un-reliable.

Over all I love this league and think I had an outstanding draft.

One of my other leagues is an 8 team league that my buddy made, it's kind of different in that ur allowed 2 qb's, 3wr's, 2rb's, 1 TE and 4 of any variation of QB/WR/TE/RB. This league also count's return yardage.

I'm not overly pleased with the team I drafted because some dude completey stock piled alot of qb's and left alot of us scrubs, should have planned my draft a little better because he will probably own us all with all those qb's.

But here is my team.

QB- Matt Ryan
QB- Eli Manning
WR- Andre Johnson
WR- Greg Jennings
WR- Hines Ward
RB- Steven Jackson
RB- LeSean McCoy
TE- Brent Celek
Q/W/R/T- Matt Forte
Q/W/R/T- Percy Harvin
Q/W/R/T- Matthew Stafford
Q/W/R/T- Jason Campbell
BN- Devin Hester
BN- Ben Roethlisberger
BN- Knowshon Moreno
BN- Zach Miller
BN- Mohamed Massoquoi
BN- Dez Bryant

I have two more leagues to draft in one this weekend and another the weekend after that. This weekends one is pretty much a standard league and the one after that is pretty standard except that it count's return yardage and your allowed one defensive player. I will post them after I draft them.

Here's the first team I drafted last Friday. It's a 14-team PPR league that I run. Last year I won $1750 on a PPR league with 2 RB's I picked up as free agents because I was stacked at QB/WR/TE so I went with the same strategy. I had pick 12 out of 14.

QB - Eli Manning NYG
WR - Randy Moss NE
WR - Reggie Wayne IND
RB - Arian Foster HOU
RB - Ahmad Bradshaw NYG
WR/TE - Wes Welker NE
TE - Antonio Gates SD
D/ST - Steelers
K - Lawrence Tynes NYG

Bench:
QB - Ben Roethlisberger PIT
WR - Mike Williams TB
WR - Devin Thomas WAS
RB - Michael Bush OAK
RB - Clinton Portis WAS
RB - Fred Jackson BUF

Some pretty good teams on here. I'm pretty happy with this team right here. 10 team league with 1-QB 2-RB 2-WR 1-RB/WR 1-TE 1-OP (any offensive player) 1-DP (any defensive player) K and D

Wreckin' Yo Cribbs

QB - Tom Brady
RB - Chris Johnson
RB - Jamaal Charles
RB/WR - Jerome Harrison
WR - Calvin Johnson
WR - Michael Crabtree
TE - Jermichael Finley
OP - Phillip Rivers
DP - Patrick Willis
D/ST - Eagles
K - Stephen Gostkowski (NE)

This draft was pretty ridiculous. I'm always pretty optimistic about my teams, but I would have to say this one is loaded.

My draft is at 11 am tmr morning. Hopefully I can kick some butt.

Just did a 10 team draft on ESPN. It's a standard league. Pretty happy with the team, had a couple of picks snatched out from under me.

QB- Tony Romo
RB- Chris Johnson
RB- Rashard Mendenhall
RB/WR- Wes Welker
WR- Calvin Johnson
WR- Steve Smith (NYG)
TE- Zach Miller
K- Garrett Hartley
D/ST- Saints
BE- Ricky Williams
BE- Ahmad Bradshaw
BE- Santana Moss
BE- Michael Bush
BE- Malcom Floyd
BE- Chad Henne
BE- Devin Aromashodu

12 team league just finished drafting:

QB: Aaron Rodgers

WR/RB: Michael Bush

K: Adam Vinateiri
D: Cincy

BN: Malcom Floyd
BN: Marion Barber
BN: Leon Washington
BN: Kenny Britt
BN: Ben Roethlisberger
BN: Peyton Hillis

I keep seeing Jay Cutler!?!?

I think Kyle Orton is a better QB---even Delhomme before Cutler.

Hell, I would rather have Chad Henne, or Matt Stafford before Cutler.

I just don't have any confidence in the guy.

Just finished drafting my 14 team league.

QB- 25yds per point 5 points at 300
WR- 10 yards per point 5 points at 100
RB- 10 yards per point 5 points at 100
Passing td's 6 points
Rushing and receiving td's 6 points

QB- Phillip Rivers
WR- Greg Jennings
WR- Mike Sims-Walker

RB- Adrian Peterson
RB- Knowshon Moreno
TE- Owen Daniels
BN- Ben Roethlisberger
BN- Clinton Portis
BN- Tim Hightower
BN- Devin Hester
BN Dexter McCluster
BN- Chris Chambers

K- Ryan Succop
Def- Denver

Not real happy with my running backs other than AP but with so many people picking it was hard to land anybody any better, they went off the boards fast.

I like your running backs. AP and Moreno is solid for a 14 team league.

And, I think Tim Hightower is a huge sleeper this year.

I will be satisfied with my rb's if they perform like they are supposed to. But I am still suspect on all of them but Peterson.

I just got this one.. I changed the offer for Carlson for Maclin. I wanted no part of Earl Bennett or the AZ Def

This trade has been proposed to you in Dan Is Awesome 4.0


PeanutButterAndTuna Earl Bennett Bears WR and AZ Def


Late Great Players John Carlson Sea TE

Any opinions?

I would say no thanks.

I opened up a trade offer with

Ben Roethlisberger, Devin hester, Knowshon Moreno for Ryan Matthews and T.J Houschmanzadeh

He countered with Jay Cutler, Ryan Matthews, Jason Witten and Miamis defense for Phillip Rivers, Greg Jennings and Owen Daniels

I re-countered Phillip Rivers, Mike Sims Walker, Knowshon Moreno and Owen Daniels for Jay Cutler, T.J Houschmanzadeh, Ryan Matthews and Jason Witten

He hasn't re-countered yet or turned it down but any thoughts?

This will be in the 14 team league I posted earlier.

As long as Cutler isn't an INT machine the first few weeks then I would say that would be better for you. If Moreno was healthy I would say if would be better for him though.

Freshman to this... 12 Man league...

QB: Tom Brady
RB: Knowshon Moreno, Pierre Thomas
WR: Andre Johnson, Percy Harvin, Robert Meachem
TE: Brent Celek
D: Minnesota Vikings
K: Matt Prater

BN: Jake Delhomme
BN: Thomas Jones
BN: Jericho Cotchery
BN: Kevin Walter
BN: Braylon Edwards
BN: Matt Ryan




Houston homer wants to trade for AJ. He has Ray Rice, Marion Barber, Clinton Portis and Larry Johnson

I'd make him give you Ray Rice straight up.

Just did a draft with the guys I work with. Yahoo league with QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, K, D as the lineup. It's a points league not head-to-head. I had the last pick in the 1st.

QB - Phillip Rivers - 5th round
RB - Rashard Mendenhall - 1st Round
RB - Steven Jackon - 2nd Round
WR - Greg Jennings - 3rd
WR - Anquan Boldin - 4th
WR - Michael Crabtree - 6th
TE - Kellen Winslow II - 10th
K - Neil Rackers - 15th
D/ST - Houston - 14th
BEN - Shady McCoy - 7th
BEN - Arian Foster - 8th
BEN - Mike Wallace - 9th
BEN - Chad Henne - 11th
BEN - LaDainian Tomlinson - 12th
BEN - Jabar Gaffney - 13th

I think I made out pretty well, I was the only one to wait til the last two rounds on K and D. Several teams picked backups at TE, K, and D.

Not a bad draft there at all, I can't believe you got McCoy in the 7th. He went like 3rd or 4th in all my leagues. I expect big things from him this year.

16 team league

QBs: Flacco Orton
RBs: AP, Harrison, Best, j. davis
WRs: b edwards, dez bryant, momass, tate, josh morgan
TE: Fasano, sheffler
D colts and steelers
K : Dawson

we play QB RB RB RB/WR WR WR TE Def Kicker

extra te and def only because noone was really left.. and I have filled my roster anyways.
and it's a one keeper league where we cannot keep certain players.. I kept Flacco (I had noone else I could keep that was better)
