BarNinja 1 Posted October 12, 2010 After 5 weeks, I am 5-0. My roster is beyond stacked and now I fret over who to start. I know nobody cares but I just wanted to spout off a bit. QB: Drew Brees (traded for him week 1 - gave up Rivers and Benson; shoulda kept Rivers, oh well) RB: Chris Johnson, Arian Foster, Ahmad Bradshaw, LeSean McCoy, Peyton Hillis WR: Miles Austin, Brandon Lloyd, Malcolm Floyd, Percy Harvin, Austin Collie, Deion Branch TE: Dallas Clark D: PITT K: Nick Folk I know hubris like this will come back to bite me but damn! that team looks good. Anyone else just loaded? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted October 12, 2010 Earlier today Boston Three Party made reference to stabbing himself in the face with a rusty aids infected spoon. I'd like to borrow it from him when he's done and drive it into your forehead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone else just loaded? I've got a similar team: Manning Gore, Foster, Bradshaw Austin, Jennings (Floyd was on bench) Finley Finley goes down, Manning is blech, should have started Floyd (which I will moving forward) and POOF!@# no more undefeated season. It will happen to you. You won't know when, so you'll cower in fear of which stud to start every week, knowing that the '72 Dolphins are ready to uncork some champagne on your ass. Have fun.

MDC 6,001 Posted October 12, 2010 Since we're bragging ... I don't feel unstoppable but I feel pretty good about my chances. My standard scoring, 14-team league roster: QB: Roesthlisberger RB: MJD RB: DWill WR: Roddy White WR: Wallace, Housh, Jacoby (pick one) TE: Gates Flex: McCoy Flex: Bradshaw K: Rackers D: Patriots / Giants Right now I'm 4-1 and only 5 points off the league lead. I'm especially happy since I've been saddled with Anderson, Henne, Garrard and Bradford at QB. And I've gotten next to nothing out of my first two picks. Now that I've got an actual quarterback I think this team looks even better. All that said, it's how you finish the year - not how you start it. All you have to do is get into the playoffs and then win three straight. I ended up winning this league last year after Ronnie Brown went down, only because Jerome Harrison went off the final two weeks. So the point is that every team suffers injuries and luck + riding the hot hand is usually what wins championships. Good luck. Your roster is pretty loaded for any format.

mgs316 14 Posted October 12, 2010 Roethelisberger (traded Braylon for Ben) Mendenhall Moreno/Felix/Jackson/Spiller/Jacobs Wayne Royal/Smith/need to add player Gates I wouldn't consider them all super-stars but they have been very consistent and I'm #2 in points scored.

Anyone else just loaded? How were you able to draft Chris Johnson, Arian Foster, Miles Austin, LeSean McCoy, Dallas Clark, Philip Rivers, Cedric Benson, Percy Harvin, Ahmad Bradshaw, and the Pittsburgh defense? Hell, even Malcolm Floyd was pretty expensive with the Vincent Jackson holdout. What kind of bush league are you in? Chris Johnson is your 1st rounder, that much is clear. Then you've got eight players who should have been gone by the next four rounds. Congrats on being loaded in an 8-10 team league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avocado 0 Posted October 12, 2010 I won by .01 point last night, feeling pretty invincible about that. 4-1 (lost to 25 point Steelers D and C Johnson failures one week), feel good about my team, but terrible WR corps. QB - Roethlisberger WR - Holmes, Murphy, Royal, Clayton , Mason RB - Johnson, Mendenhall, McFadden , Jackson TE - Gates K - Rackers/rotating Def - Rotating Gotta trade for a top tier receiver (or two) and I'll be good to go.

I got Bradshaw in the 7th and Foster in the 8th of a 10-teamer, albeit not against the sagest of FF minds. Also depends when the draft was. I could see an order of: CJ Austin Benson Clark McCoy Rivers Foster Bradshaw Harvin/Floyd/PITT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BarNinja 1 Posted October 12, 2010 It actually went like this: 10 Team League 01.01 Chris Johnson 02.10 Miles Austin 03.01 LeSean McCoy 04.10 Phillip Rivers 05.01 Dallas Clark 06.10 Cedric Benson (no idea why he was still there. Just one of those guys in every draft) 07.01 Ahmad Bradshaw 08.10 Arian Foster (the hype train hadn't gotten up to full steam when we drafted) 09.01 Malcom Floyd 10.10 Derrick Mason (went in the Rivers/Benson trade & I got Brees/Harvin - Harvin was hurt/migraines then) 11.01 Austin Collie 12.10 PITT D 13.01 Devin Hester (dropped for Hillis) 14.10 Laurence Maroney (dropped for Lloyd) 15.01 Ryan Longwell (dropped for Folk) My strategy was basically to snag a great WR, QB, TE in the early rounds after CJ and then load up on RBs. It seems to me WRs will emerge from no where more often than RBs. I know this type of thread get crapped on but deep down we all love talking about our rosters even if no one really wants to listen.

bsong 0 Posted October 12, 2010 I know this type of thread get crapped on but deep down we all love talking about our rosters even if no one really wants to listen. Interesting. What is it you're looking for? To have a lot of people on the internet say, "wow, good job!" Or for people to express jealousy? Or did you just feel after this weekend, I GOTTA TELL SOMEBODY ABOUT MY ROSTER!, then decide, hey, let's start a post. Just curious on what would make you most "happy" as far as responses to this. I have a very good roster, but to be honest I can't see how I'd get any excitement out of posting it here, but maybe I should try it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am enjoying doing this. Nice job; that lineup is just unfair. To others that say "nice 10-teamer" I say... well, yeah, it is unlikely that you are going to have a stacked team in a 16-teamer. I'm actually impressed that MDC posted a 14-teamer, and for those who've played in larger leagues, that is a pretty stacked team for the size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
