I’m in only one league this year. I’ve got a decent team with some potential.
QB - Peyton Manning, Joe Flacco
WR - Wes Welker, Titus Young, Eric Decker, Pierre Garcon, Santana Moss
RB - LeSean McCoy, Doug Martin, Ryan Williams
TE - Aaron Hernandez, Greg Olsen
DEF - NE, NYG
K - Nate Kaeding, Stephen Gostowski
The one I auto-drafted last night:
QB: Matt Ryan
RB: Arian Foster, Donald Brown
WR: Jordy Nelson, Jeremy Maclin
Flex: Torrey Smith, Isaac Redman
TE: Jimmy Graham
Bench: Malcolm Floyd, Heyward-Bey, Mario Manningham, Randy Moss, and a few junk players I’m sending to the wire… My hope is to get Greg Olsen as my backup TE and either Doug Baldwin or Steve Breaston as another backup.
DEF: Currently the Bills, but I am angling to get Bengals.
K: Neil Rackers, waiving for Lawrence Tynes

You guys need to step up to the big boy leagues and go IDP….
Drafts that I miss I usually end up getting Vick (I hate my life)…Vick is fantasy poison, so it has instantly doomed my teams…
Won last year’s football by having Brady, Megatron, Jordy Nelson…1st year I had poo for RBs (Bradshaw, Jacobs, McGahee) and did well…I guess that’s the way the NFL is going…will show you some IDP rosters here later.
I realize its a football thread, but one of my hockey leagues needs to replace one team for a keeper league…PM me if you are interested, I can send settings and the roster (you currently get to keep two players that you drafted, 1 from rounds 1-7, and 1 from the lower rounds).

I would keep the Bills D, and have a backup plan for the Pats. Other than that, the Bills D should provide you lots of points this year.
Thanks for the advice. I played an IDP league last year actually, and I wouldn’t mind playing it again, the problem is the guy didn’t activate the league, and I didn’t have enough people to assemble my own. I’ll have to work that up for next year.

Below is a look at my “main” team that I’ve owned for many seasons now. I’m in about 8 leagues myself (but did 24 baseball leagues, so now who’s foaming at the mouth?). It’s a Keeper league where you can only hold on to 2, but they get drafted one round higher than the round from last year (ie. I took Megatron Rd2, so now he’s a Rd1 for me)….I forgot to draft a K and I’m one DL short, so I had to get a K, but still one DL short…waiting for a trade proposal to free up a spot or see what I can do without it. I’m last year’s champ, so I have a lot at stake…wonder if I should have held onto Brady instead of Megatron…we’ll see if that bites me…

@Guerrilla:
J. Cook is going to be a great sleeper this year!
I’m thinking the Ten. offense is going to be in beast mode this year….great bunch of receivers and I expect the running game to turn around completely. Gronk got drafted in Rd22 last year in my league so I’m hoping for similar magic for me this year!
Yeah, I drafted Gronk early, and perhaps too early, but I think he is honestly going to remain that dependable target for Brady. I think Lloyd will just take away long bombs from Welker, and Aaron Hernandez is always going to sub out for Gronk, so there is no loss of production for them, except perhaps any that would have been lost because of a balance of play time.

Here is another team I drafted:
QB: Jake Locker
RB: Stephen Jackson
RB: Shonn Greene
WR: Antonio Brown
WR: Percy Harvin
TE: Rob Gronkowski
DF: Seattle
K: Garrett Hartley
BN: Nate Washington, Jared Cook, Randall Cobb, Brandon Lafell, Leonard Hankerson, Brandon Wheedon (need some kind of Backup).
This one I think will be a wildcard team this year, either it busts or at leasts surprises everyone and takes me to the playoffs. I doubt I can win the league with it, but I love the upsides and the risks.
I love the Nate Washington/Cook bench…you should try to trade Gronk for a RB…I have no faith in the Jets, and I don’t know if Greene will ever produce like college/1st two pro years. I agree about the Lloyd factor…keep an eye out for Juron Criner in Oakland…I feel by week 3 or 4, this guy is going to make a name for himself.
This is a PPR (.5 pt) league, QB’s are 6 pt TDs
Since draft day:
Date Player Type From To By
Sep 5 8:29am Dropped Andy Dalton for Robert Turbin (Sea - RB)
Sep 5 6:55am Dropped S. Moss for Ronnie Brown (SD - RB)
Aug 22 2:24am Dropped J. Kasay for Dan Bailey (Dal - K)
Leaves my starting lineup as
QB: Schaub
RB1: Rice
RB2: Redman
WR1: Welker
WR2: Wallace
TE: Gates
(flex)
W/R/T: T. Smith
K: Bailey
Def: Sea
Now here’s the Questions:
RB2? Stick with Redman? Or
Ronnie Brown (likely starter-Matthews not going to play) or Turbin if Lynch is out?
WR2: Stick with Wallace? Rusty, tough Denver Def (DBs)
could bring in Crabtree or even Sidney Rice
Opinions on starting line-up are appreciated. Thanks!
QB’s are 4 pt TDs
Round Pick Player Position
1. (1) Ray Rice RB
2. (24) Ryan Mathews RB
3. (25) Julio Jones WR
4. (48) Brandon Lloyd WR
5. (49) Peyton Hillis RB
6. (72) Brandon Pettigrew TE
7. (73) DeSean Jackson WR
8. (96) Michael Bush RB
9. (97) Jay Cutler QB
10. (120) Anquan Boldin WR
11. (121) Jake Locker QB
12. (144) New England DEF
13. (145) Mike Goodson RB
14. (168) Nate Kaeding K
Week 1 starting line-up
QB: Cutler
RB1: Rice
RB2: M. Bush
WR1: J. Jones:
WR2: B. Lloyd
TE: Pettigrew
K: Kaeding
Def: NE
Now here’s the Question:
RB2? Stick with Bush or go with Hillis?
Opinions on starting line-up are appreciated. Thanks!
I’d probably stick with Peyton, Bush remains a 2nd string back, and KC is going to run, even though I like the matchup against Indy better.

I went from 3 leagues to 1 this year. Won last year, tied my brother in regular season, tied in the championship game and won on tie breakers. My secret weapon was picking up CJ Spiller and playing him in a WR spot (he was marked as RB and WR for some reason) so I had 4 RBs and 1 WR.
Drafted 9th of 10 this year:
R1: MJD
R2: Matthew Stafford
R3: Victor Cruz
R4: Julio Jones
R5: Reggie Bush
R6: Johnathon Stewart
R7: Fred Davis
R8: Desean Jackson
R9: Texans D/ST
R10: Kevin Smith
R11: David Akers
R12: Matt Schaub
R13: Laurent Robinson
R14: Rashard Mendenhall
R15: Jets D/ST
R16: Davone Bess (wanted drop this pick on a promising rookie, but couldn’t find anything in the time allowed)
Already have won my first game, score attached
Jermo, awesome! I’ll have to post some of my matchups after tomorrow evening.

Ugh….good to see all my D picks came through, but none of my receivers produced (especially when I have Nelson, Megatron, and Vincent Jackson) out there…and I lost Locker as my backup…it’s only a sep shoulder, but that’s going to put him down for a bit…
RG3 did what I thought he could do…good for him…I hope he continues to prove me right that he’ll be better than Luck…
I guess this weekend was the weekend of the INT…
Out of 8 leagues I’m in, I won 6. Jermo, this is a rematch of my league from last year. Obviously a blowout, but an interesting lineup nonetheless. I’m with Locker.

I’m the team with Tom Brady in the Yahoo league…
