SixtyFiveRed 0 Posted August 25, 2008 Hello, I play in a standard 6 points for all TD's with 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 flex RB or WR, 1 TE, 1 K and 1 Def through CBS. QB's went real early, which I expected, so I picked up both of mine in rounds 7 and 8. I tried picking up the best WR core possible to fill the flex position for most of the year. I also picked some young talent later in the draft and maybe one or two a little early. Overall I'm happy with my team. What do you think? Also, regarding my starting lineup: Do you like Matt Forte or LenDale White week 1? If Chad Johnson is a no go, which I doubt, do I slot in Forte over others? Draft Order (7th Pick): 1. Clinton Portis RB 2. Reggie Wane WR 3. Chad Johsnon WR 4. Tory Holt WR 5. Matt Forte RB ( a little early?) 6. LenDale White RB 7. Jay Cutler QB 8. Jack Delhomme QB ( a little early?) 9. Vernon Davis TE 10. Ladel Betts RB (hancuff w/ Portis) 11. Ahman Green RB 12. Ted Ginn Jr WR 13. Eddie Royal WR 14. Bobby Engram WR 15. Arizona Cards D 16. Neil Rackers K Waivers: Limas Sweed WR, Robbie Gould K Starting Lineup: QB - Jay Cutler RB - Clinton Portis, LenDale White WR - Reggie Wayne, Tory Holt Flex - Chad Johnson TE - Vernon Davis Def - Arizona K - Neil Rackers or Robbie Gould Thanks for your help!

t1m 0 Posted August 25, 2008 Ehhh... Westbrook in the first was a good pick and keeping Braylon for a 5th was good. Beyond that im trying to figure out how your draft went for rounds 2-4 . McGahee Big Ben and McNabb? Im not a fan of 2 QB's that high. I realize you can start one as a flex and i guess depending on your league scoring starting a QB there could be just fine but I don't see a huge difference between a McNabb and a Delhomme or Cutler or Warner who i assume went a bit later. Not really high on your receivers beyond Edwards. I think you will need a bit of luck or maybe a trade here and there along with some smart waiver wire management to contend this season. Thanks for the reply. WR is where I really would like a more solid #2, and probably should have tried to lock one down earlier in the draft. I might have to try and get creative w/ some trades here. I went with McNabb early to try and lock up some consistency for the OP spot. Not the most popular decision, I know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If chad misses time i guess you slide forte into the flex. i also like your QB tanden where you drafted them. I like both guys this year and in my opinion either could explode. Especially delhomme if fully healthy. i question the vernon davis pick in the 9th. who else was avaulable at TE? Davis burned me and i just don't like him in that weak 49ers offense.

Vince Young really wotn be a good fantasy QB for you this season. I like you draft. The only thing i dont like is vernon davis at TE. hes burned me in the past and martz has never used a TE much but again he has never had one with Davis' physical tools. So i guess we will see. good pickups with perry and williams. you are more than set at RB and probably will be able to afford to trade some RB depth for a better 3rd WR or a better TE if needed early in the season. I like your WR's but it never hurts to upgrade if you can. good luck this season i think you should be in great shape and a title contendeder in your league.

I have QB: Brady, Garrard, Edwards RB: JLewis, Graham, Forte, SMorris, MMorris WR: AJohnson, Holt, Bowe, Ginn, Hardy, Brandon Marshall TE: Gates, Scheffler I plan to ask another owner for a trade. They are weak at TE (Boss is their starter??!). Do you think this is a good trade?? I get: Jonathon Stewart Randy McMichael They get: Scheffler Forte Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get: Jonathon Stewart Randy McMichael They get: Scheffler Forte there is recent news that scheffler is now the third string TE in Denver. Im very suprised by this especially after how he ended last year and Im guessing its just to light a fire under him. To be honest i like Fortes situation better right now. Stewart is nicked up and DeAngelo has looged good. I would stick with what you have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
himmystyles 29 Posted August 27, 2008 Hi, quick question for you.. this is my team: 12 team PPR with 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, and 3 IDPs... ALL tds worth 6. QB= D. Anderson, M Schaub, J Delhomme RB= Sjax, R Bush, Kevin Smith, Chester Taylor WR= Colston, Chambers, Burleson, Bruce, Ted Ginn jr TE= Witten DL= Vandenbosh DB= M Lewis LB= Urlacher I think Bush in mid 3rd in a PPR is huge... was a bit weary of having both of NO's offensive weapons but couldnt turn him down... Question i have is, would u be worried about having BOTH Colston and Bush on the same squad?? I acutally could have gotten braylon, but i love colston's siutation a lot more, and never really expected bush to be there for the taking. Should I try and move one of these guys? Thanks.

Thanks. i would have taken edwards personally but Colston is not a bad choice. I think youll be just fine. as far as the rest of your team goes, not much depth and im not a big fan of Anderson at QB but i love Schaub and Delhomme as 2's so your set if Anderson falters. Maybe you can move one of them for another WR? barring injuries which would expose your lack of depth your team should do fairly well this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uwmalcolm 73 Posted August 27, 2008 WW - I drafted ADP second in a 12 team redraft and apparently waited too long to grab Chester Taylor. Sort of kicking myself for it now. I picked J.Stewart at 6.11 and the guy right after me took Taylor 7.01. I wanted to wait til it came back to me at the end of 8 for Taylor because at that point I only had ADP and Edge and wanted startable RBs, but that strategy didn't work. Question is: should I offer Stewart for Taylor straight up? I'm higher on Stewart overall obviously but Taylor is pretty darn valuable insurance for ADP. What would you do here? We have a QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1 Flex, TE, D/ST, K lineup. Standard yardage league scoring but QB TDs are worth 5pts. Currently my team is as follows: QB: Brees, Rodgers RB: ADP, Edge, J.Stewart, K.Smith, Norwood, Slaton WR: Edwards, Marshall, Burleson, Engram, Mason TE: V.Davis, McMichael D/ST: Ten K: Prater I can envision Stewart being a good starter at some point this year, while Taylor is only going to be insurance (performing like a top 10 back if ADP goes down though). I'd prefer to start 3RBs instead of 3WRs obviously, seeing as I don't have 3 stud WRs. I could start ADP, Edge and K. Smith, but there's not a lot of depth after that if Edge or Smith goes down and I don't have Stewart. I guess I could play matchups for the flex between Taylor and my 3-5 receivers. At the moment I'm probably leaning towards keeping Stewart...but I'm certainly not sold on it. Any advice is much appreciated! FYI - my draft went: 1 ADP 2 Edwards 3 Brees 4 Edge (didn't especially like this pick but felt forced into it because of having to wait another 22 picks after my 5th pick till my 6th pick) 5 Marshall 6 Stewart 7 Smith 8 Burleson 9 Davis (11th TE off the board...could've waited another rd for Crumpler or Daniels i guess) 10 Norwood 11 Rogers 12 Mason 13 Engram 14 Tennessee 15 Slaton 16 McMichael 17 Prater Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First off thank you very much for the advice. I also realized warner and leinart are available but I can't figure out whats going to happen in SF so I think I'll avoid them unless someone finally emerges during the season. As for the trade, I found two teams to target, not really sure what to offer. Anderson Rivers ADP Turner Mendenhall Moroney A Johnson Coles Bryant Johnson Ted Ginn Moss Battle Shockey LJ Smith and Palmer Favre Lynch McFadden McCallister Brandon Jackson Edwards Colston Cotchery Crayton Stallworth Heath Miller McMichael Both these teams look like they have some extra WR depth and could use some RB, but I have no idea if I'm better off just trying to trade for sleeper WRs rather than trying to find teams that need a RB. Anyway I'd appreciate any advice you could give me because I have never successfully completed a trade before in my fantasy footballing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrgymrat 0 Posted August 27, 2008 A couple thoughts on the Bengals RB situation: 1. This Rudi Johnson possible trade seems like it could be a good thing if you were forced to pick up Chris Perry as a handcuff. Maybe Rudi gets traded to somewhere where he can eventually start and then you'd have 2 starters. 2. I'm still concerned about Kenny Watson being in the Bengals RB picture. He was a great fill-in last year. 3. Lastly, who's the better piickup - Perry or Ray Rice (who has the potential to play for McGahee)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway I'd appreciate any advice you could give me because I have never successfully completed a trade before in my fantasy footballing I don't think it is imperative that you make a trade. Perry or Williams could have extra trade vlue if either go off in week one so it might be best to wait until the start of the season and see if they build up some worth. Out of those teams I would look to maybe offer one of those guys i just mentioned for Cotchery. I am high on him this year He has shown good chemistry with Favre already in camp and in the preseason. Don't worry about Warner and Leinart. Warner is going to be the starter heading in i believe but i think you are just fine with Kitna as your backup assuming you picked him up.

Hoever, I don't see any teams giving the bangals much in return for a player most teams should know is kind of washed up. Perry will start for the Bengals. Thats the feeling I get. Watson was a good multi purpose back last year who filled in nicely but barring injury, which has been a past concern, Perry should be the man in Cincy. Out of the two guys you mentioned, i like them both but Perry right now seems like the safer bet. It may take Rice a bit longer to supplant McGahee as the starting RB in baltimore.

Thunderlordz 0 Posted August 27, 2008 Hi, Draft my team last night in a 10-team league, standard non-ppr Yahoo! scoring. Start 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1WR/RB flex, 1TE, 1K, 1DEF: I had the 10th overall pick and here's my draft order: 1.10 Tom Brady QB (don't think he'll have the same numbers as last year, but had to pick him at 10th) 2.01 Clinton Portis RB 3.10 Chad Johnson WR (might've been a reach, his shoulder injury worries me) 4.01 Torry Holt WR 5.10 Thomas Jones RB 6.01 Michael Turner RB 7.10 Dwayne Bowe WR 8.01 Todd Heap TE (could've probably gotten him in a later round) 9.10 Justin Fargas RB 10.01 Hines Ward WR 11.10 Matt Schaub QB 12.01 Ricky Williams RB 13.10 Colts Defense D 14.01 Tony Scheffler TE 15. Rob Bironas K How did I do on my draft? The picks I really like are Thomas Jones at 5.10, Matt Schaub at 11.10, and Ricky Williams at 12.01. Should I be worried about my WR's? Chad Johnson has a bad shoulder, Torry Holt is getting old, and Dwayne Bowe may hit a sophmore slump. Also, who should my starters be? I'm thinking of putting Ricky Williams on my RB/WR flex slot ahead of Turner, Fargas, and Bowe... Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Va-Nomad 0 Posted August 27, 2008 Just joined a league as a fill-in. Here's the rules- Keep 1 = give up 1st round pick Keep 2 = give up 1st + 2nd rounders 12 teams My possible keepers: Peyton Manning, MJD, Ronnie Brown, and TJ HyouknowwhoImean. If I drop them all, I'm afraid I might get lesser players. If I keep 1 or 2 I'm I getting value? Help!!!! I'm been playing FF for 20 years, but this one got me in a corner. Drafts tonight. oh yeah, no body will know who was kept or put back untill the draft starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beef Ravioli 0 Posted August 27, 2008 Who do you like better at the beginning of the season - Reggie Brown or J Galloway? We start two WR's I have Calvin and B Marshall - so I need a fill in for the first couple of games. Thanks for the input! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Start 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1WR/RB flex, 1TE, 1K, 1DEF: I had the 10th overall pick and here's my draft order: 1.10 Tom Brady QB (don't think he'll have the same numbers as last year, but had to pick him at 10th) 2.01 Clinton Portis RB 3.10 Chad Johnson WR (might've been a reach, his shoulder injury worries me) 4.01 Torry Holt WR 5.10 Thomas Jones RB 6.01 Michael Turner RB 7.10 Dwayne Bowe WR 8.01 Todd Heap TE (could've probably gotten him in a later round) 9.10 Justin Fargas RB 10.01 Hines Ward WR 11.10 Matt Schaub QB 12.01 Ricky Williams RB 13.10 Colts Defense D 14.01 Tony Scheffler TE 15. Rob Bironas K How did I do on my draft? The picks I really like are Thomas Jones at 5.10, Matt Schaub at 11.10, and Ricky Williams at 12.01. Should I be worried about my WR's? Chad Johnson has a bad shoulder, Torry Holt is getting old, and Dwayne Bowe may hit a sophmore slump. Also, who should my starters be? I'm thinking of putting Ricky Williams on my RB/WR flex slot ahead of Turner, Fargas, and Bowe... Thanks! I like the same picks you listed. Schaub is a great backup to have behind Brady. Ricky was also a steald in the 12th. Ive seen him going as high as 7th in 10 team mocks. The Thomas Jones pick was good. I am a fan, a Jets fan and a believer in him this year the the changes to the offense but what I have seen in the preseason has worried me. He has not shown much burst. Luckily neither has Leon Washington so this leads me to believe it might just be a running game problem in general and not a specific problem with TJ. Your WR's probably are your weakest position but Hines Ward is in my opinion, a very solid 4 who you may end up starting over Bowe. Bowe really hit the wall toward the end of his rookie season and I want him to show me something this year before i feel comfortable playing him. Id lean toward Ricky or Truenr at flex at least over Bowe but Ward might not be a bad flex play either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted August 27, 2008 Just joined a league as a fill-in. Here's the rules- Keep 1 = give up 1st round pick Keep 2 = give up 1st + 2nd rounders 12 teams My possible keepers: Peyton Manning, MJD, Ronnie Brown, and TJ HyouknowwhoImean. If I drop them all, I'm afraid I might get lesser players. If I keep 1 or 2 I'm I getting value? Help!!!! I'm been playing FF for 20 years, but this one got me in a corner. Drafts tonight. oh yeah, no body will know who was kept or put back untill the draft starts. sorry it took me so long to get back to you. hope you get this opinion in time. If I were you Id play it risky and keep no one. I personally don't feel that Peyton is first round material (possibly because of my love for RB's) and I don't think TJ is a 3nd rounder. I think they are 2nd and 3rd rounder respectively. If every other owner keeps 1 player then you become the only owner drafting in round 1 and at the WORST, you pick Manning back up assuming there isnt any other talent out there. If every owner keeps 2 then again your getting 2 picks before the draft starts and at WORST you pick Manning and TJ back up if no one else out there is better. You can probably look at the other owners rosters and pick out how many of them will be keeping a player. Its really up to you. Manning isn't a bad keeper for a first rounder in a 12 teamer... what are you scoring rules for QB's? Depending on where you rank Manning he might be worth it for you.. Id rather have a Barber, Portis, Lynch because i prefer solid RB's. But definately don't keep TJ for a 2nd. Especially with his nagging injuries. I can almost garuntee you will get something better with that second round pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We start two WR's I have Calvin and B Marshall - so I need a fill in for the first couple of games. Thanks for the input! Give me Galloway. I know he is old but he is healthy for now and still the number 1 target on that team. Brown as far as i know is injured or comming off a training camp injury. He will most likely be ready by week 1 i heard but will he be 100%? Plus i just don't like him as much as a player. Go with Galloway until Marshall comes back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FYP Soldiers 0 Posted August 27, 2008 I have the opportunity to pick up AP. However I am not sure if I am giving up too much so could someone throw some ideas my way. Here is the current trade: A. Peterson - C. Taylor - A. Green for J. Lewis - W. McGahee - M. Turner Points for RB are simple...6 for all TD, .1 pt for every yd (rush or rec.) (basically 10% of all yds). Here is what the rest of my tema looks like in a 10 team league QB- T. Brady, P. Rivers RB - S. Young, R. Mendenhall WR - M. Harrison, S. Moss, J. Cotchery, J. Gage, A. Gonzalez (IND), D. Stallworth, T. Ginn Jr. TE - Z. Miller, R. McMicheal Def- Ten St. - Buf Advice please>>>>> Perhaps I should counter this:::: A. Peterson - C. Taylor - B. Jackson for W. McGahee - J.

Bones40 0 Posted August 27, 2008 Any advice on ways I can improve my team through trades before the draft would be greatly appreciated. 12 team PPR league. Lineup includes 1QB, 1WR, 1RB, 3 flex (rb/wr), 1TE, K) I had the fourth pick: QB: Big Ben, Kitna RB: SJax, Young, Fargas WR: Wayne, Holmes, Driver, Engram, Hester TE: Gates, LJ Smith K: Viniateri Thanks in advance for how you think I did, and where I should look to upgrade. I'm a little concerned about my RB's. However, I only HAVE to play one. If LJ Smith returns to form, I can even play Gates in my WR slot. Also, it's a IDB league so I get all of Hester's special teams production as well as his offensive production. I've been talking to some owners and think I might be able to pull off the following trades. Wayne and Fargas or Young for Harrison and Grant. Or, Wayne and Fargas for Chad Johnson and Thomas Jones. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lewis i think you would love having AP on your team especially with Taylor as well, even in the event of injury you still have the minnesota starting RB and Taylor can produce. It just scares me to give up 3 starting RB's. I would counter with Lewis, McGahee and a WR instead of Turner and keep Turner possibly as your number 2 RB so Selvin can be the bye week guy.

Not near the downgrade at RB for ya. beyond Moss i view Owens, Wayne, Edwards, Fitz, Colston and AJ as interchangeable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thoughts? Wayne and Fargas for CJ and TJ might not be bad depending on how concerned you are with CJ's shoulder. TJ is an upgrade over Fargas but keep in mind if CJ misses extended time then its really a bomb of a deal for you. The other trade I would not do but then again I am not very high on Grant. Your draft was ok. Not spectacular but solid enough. What rb's are on waivers? Perry? RB is your only real concern. but as you said you only HAVE to play one.

My gut is telling me Barber but my head says Addai. Addai goes as high as 4th and as low as 7th. Great offense, a workhorse who carries at the goaline. got to take him and jackson is gone.
