[Boilermaker04 11]

Who threw back Aaron Rodgers?

 

lbh's squad jumped out as the best draft from a quick glance.

[Gepetto 1,003]

Who threw back Aaron Rodgers?

 

ahill threw back Aaron Rodgers and Maurice Jones Drew knowing he had the 2nd overall pick (and really the first pick because Joc kept CJIII), and then ahill drafted Aaron Rodgers back to his team.

[famousb 11]

Looking at starting rosters, I actually like LBH, HT, and delay's teams. Not necessarily in that order though...

[Stewburtx8 67]

My favorite team is probably Hellothere. The group of Foster/Sproles/Fitz/Harvin/Hernandez could be pretty dominant. That is A LOT of points in a PPR league. I think the Ryan/Freeman combo at QB will be serviceable. Holmes and BJGE aren't bad as WR3 and flex2.

 

I understand why many like LBH. Newton/Lynch/Bush/Calvin look pretty nice. I am just not a big fan of the depth of his team in a league that you must start 3 WR's and maybe more with the 2 flex. Still should be a strong contender though.

 

My honorable mention would probably be White Wonder. I think Stafford/McFadden/FJax/Bryant/Bowe/Maclin/Pettigrew looks like a really nice core. Redman looks like the starter in Pittsburgh by default. The health of McFadden (and FJax) seem like the main concern.

[MFFL Champ 0]

Has anyone noticed the order of guys getting drafted this year??? TEs in the 2nd? Very few RBs in the first few rounds?

[WhiteWonder 2,203]

i like my team but my favorite team is Hellothere.

 

I think he had the perfect combination of a great keeper and a great draft slot. As Stew said, and Stew is prettty much my identical twin when it comes to our feelings on FF, the core of Foster, Sproles, Harvin, Fitz, Hernandez could be beastly in PPR.

 

i really wanted sproles in round 3 but settled for fred jackson.

[WhiteWonder 2,203]

Has anyone noticed the order of guys getting drafted this year??? TEs in the 2nd? Very few RBs in the first few rounds?

 

the TE thing is bound to happen when 2 guys go off like Gronk and Graham did. However the position is so deep and this league is full of flex that you really just have to look at it as if those teams were drafting WR early.

 

as for RB there seems to be 2 opinions.

 

1. that so much RBBC means you should load up on other positions and just wait on RB once the top studs are gone

 

2. that you should draft RB's early and often due tot he workhorse scarcity and find WR's later.

 

I fall more under option 2.

[GreenTD 56]

My two favorites are HelloThere & BigBlue06. Both are fairly balanced in regards to all positions.

 

My two, "if everything falls into place" teams, would be White Wonder & Gepetto. If Gepetto's starting running backs can stay healthy he should be alright. Not to mention he handcuffed both his starters with their capable backups.

what a dumb league setup...

 

who's the commish?!?

[Stewburtx8 67]

Has anyone noticed the order of guys getting drafted this year??? TEs in the 2nd? Very few RBs in the first few rounds?

 

 

It doesn't surprise me that Gronkowski and Graham went in the 2nd round after the seasons they had. What surprised me was that the next TE didn't come off the board until the last pick of the 5th round. To me, the biggest steal was Aaron Hernandez at 6.09. I definitely wouldn't have taken Finley or V.Davis over him. Hernandez averaged more targets and more receptions per game than Rob Gronkowski last year. I really think in PPR leagues, Hernandez could end up very close to Gronkowski in total fantasy points this year. He finished 3rd in PPR scoring last season and that was with missing 2 games and having some nagging injuries throughout the season.

 

As far as RB's go, I think it depends on league setup. In a PPR league like this, where you only HAVE to start 1 RB, I don't think you need to draft RB heavy. I usually like to get one bell cow RB out of the first two rounds and then just take BPA, even if it ends up being several WR's/TE's in a row. In a league where you must start 2 RB's or more, I think getting RB's early becomes more important. And in NON-PPR leagues, then I absolutely agree with WW that drafting RB's early and often is probably the way to go.

I really think in PPR leagues, Hernandez could end up very close to Gronkowski in total fantasy points this year. He finished 3rd in PPR scoring last season and that was with missing 2 games and having some nagging injuries throughout the season.

I actually wanted to skip Gronk, and hope that Hernandez got back to me in the 3rd. But from my draft position, i was worried that there could have been a run on TEs and i would have been chasing the run in the 3rd instead of helping lead it in the 2nd... so i just took Gronk after weighing my options and deciding there were enough of the next tier of WR on the board that one would get back to me; and also deeming that there weren't any super-stud WRs that looked like they were gonna outperform Gronk.

 

Also, i thought about grabbing Hernandez in the 4th, 5th, and 6th to play at my Flex #2 position, running a two TE set since i figured Hernandez is likely to put up close to what Gronk did. but after figuring his ppg average was going to be around 14 or 15 at best (i think it was 13 last year, while Gronk was 17 in this league), that i should go WR (since we have to start 3) and then i decided to grab two more RBs... but i was very close to trying to snag both Gronk and Hernandez... if we could start a TE in the WR position, i probably would have done it.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

I have the best team

Had you not dropped the ball and drafted finley before hernandez then probably yes. Finley is such an effing bum. He drops so many passes and there are way to many reliable weapons in GB that rodgers doesnt need to waste plays throwing to a guy who doesnt seem to get it.

 

Yes hernandez is on a team with a lot of options but tge difference is hes reliable.

No way. I wouldn't trade finley for hernandez even if I got an upgrade at a different position.

 

Finley is a stud. He spent all of last offseason rehabbing, where as he is spending all of this offseason getting faster, stronger, and working on his football skills.

 

Finley is going to have a career year this year, and it is going to be big.

I'll just agree to strongly disagree with this, especially in PPR leagues. Aaron Hernandez had more receptions in 14 games last season than Jermichael Finley had in 21 games in 2010 and 2011 combined, with close to as many yards and TD's.

[Stewburtx8 67]

My team sucks - sometimes VBD is totally not the answer

 

 

I like your first 5 picks and where you drafted them. The problem is that you have to start a RB and TE, and by waiting until the 6th round and 14th respectively, those positions are pretty weak.

[famousb 11]

My team sucks - sometimes VBD is totally not the answer

i'll trade you Best (a 20 ppg PPR RB) for Andre (a guy who's never had 10 tds and couldn't get healthy last year)...

[GreenTD 56]

My team sucks - sometimes VBD is totally not the answer

 

If Roy Helu finishes the year inside the top 10, you may be ok since you are only required to start one running back in this league. But you're banking on ShanaRat so that's a scary endeavor in itself as we all know. You've got great depth at WR but having Bennett as your starting TE is sketchy. Gonna need the chips to fall perfectly with these scenarios.

[MTSkiBum 1,605]

Hernandez has been better than finley.

[Meglamaniac 380]

[Dangerfieldvoice} No respect I tell ya, I get no respect at all [Dangerfieldvoice}

 

[Stewburtx8 67]

Hernandez has been better than finley.

 

 

The previous two years everyone said Jermichael Finley was poised for a breakout year. I'll believe it when I see it. Obviously 2010 was lost to injury. But I don't see a big excuse for 2011. He is just very inconsistent and has the tendency to disappear from games. Doesn't mean he isn't still a top 5 or 6 TE. But for now, in PPR leagues, I'll buy the younger player who has already shown better production (Hernandez). Just my opinion...

[MFFL Champ 0]

i'd so much rather have Hernandez than Finley - but i can see how Finley's potential to score more points than Hernandez is there... i just don't see it as a reality.

[WhiteWonder 2,203]

not to pile up on Moz, i bet he ends up doing fine this year but one of the main reasons i don't like his team is that i can look at my team and I actually like my top 3 WR's as much as i like his. I could easily see them performing as well.

 

Dez, Bowe and Maclin vs. Andre, AJ and Jordy. Yeah maybe 9/10 people would pick the second trio but can you really tell me Dez and Bowe don't have the capacity for monster seasons? Didn't Bowe have a monster season the last time he had Cassel all year?

 

And there are 2-3 other teams i can say the same thing about when comparing to Moz.

 

the difference is our RB situations are much better going in to the season.

WW - just don't trust Dez as much as some , Bowe is solid and I do like Maclin as Philly's real #1. Look I will start Brady , Helu/Ingram , Andre Johnson , AJ Green , Jordy Nelson , Vjax , Sidney Rice , M Bennett. Honestly I think many are sleeping on Bennett but maybe I am wrong with Ballard out and the way Eli love to throw to his TE ( and Bennett is a better reciever than any he has had since Shockey IMO if his head is on right ).

 

That said if I would have known Green, Nelson , Vjax, Rice fall where they did I do take a back round 2 (JCharles) and pass on AJ

My favorite team is probably Hellothere. The group of Foster/Sproles/Fitz/Harvin/Hernandez could be pretty dominant. That is A LOT of points in a PPR league. I think the Ryan/Freeman combo at QB will be serviceable. Holmes and BJGE aren't bad as WR3 and flex2.

 

I understand why many like LBH. Newton/Lynch/Bush/Calvin look pretty nice. I am just not a big fan of the depth of his team in a league that you must start 3 WR's and maybe more with the 2 flex. Still should be a strong contender though.

 

My honorable mention would probably be White Wonder. I think Stafford/McFadden/FJax/Bryant/Bowe/Maclin/Pettigrew looks like a really nice core. Redman looks like the starter in Pittsburgh by default. The health of McFadden (and FJax) seem like the main concern.

 

Pretty much sums up my thoughts.

[The Moz 69]

not to pile up on Moz, i bet he ends up doing fine this year but one of the main reasons i don't like his team is that i can look at my team and I actually like my top 3 WR's as much as i like his. I could easily see them performing as well.

 

Dez, Bowe and Maclin vs. Andre, AJ and Jordy. Yeah maybe 9/10 people would pick the second trio but can you really tell me Dez and Bowe don't have the capacity for monster seasons? Didn't Bowe have a monster season the last time he had Cassel all year?

an no worries about piling on - my team always get trash post draft but the last 3 seasons I got 2 runner ups and if not for an 11th hour switch at QB:( would of had the title last year. also AJ , Jordy , Rice , VJax are all good at long scores - maybe that bonus helps who knows

No way. I wouldn't trade finley for hernandez even if I got an upgrade at a different position.

 

Finley is a stud. He spent all of last offseason rehabbing, where as he is spending all of this offseason getting faster, stronger, and working on his football skills.

 

Finley is going to have a career year this year, and it is going to be big.

Wasnt hernandez dealing with an injured knee for a portion of the year? He probably wasnt 100% all year either. He finished as the third te last year and i see him being closer to gronk in points at the end.

My draft stretegy for tight end was to get Jared Cook late. He's going to have a big year. I even passed on Witten in the 7th to take Romo even though I had already taken Vick in the 4th. Then I didn't have to worry about back up QB anymore, which is important when you pick Vick, and I was able to draft Cook, Gerhart, and Felix Jones in the rounds where back up QBs usually go, all must have players for my entire team to work. Getting 3 WRs in the first 6 rounds was important in a start 3 WR ppr 12 team league and I accomplished that with Hakeem Nicks, Stevie Johnson, and Antonio Brown. I got two backs with both steady and high level production by keeping Adrian Peterson in round 1 and drafting DeMarco Murray in round 2. Both Vick in round 4 and Romo in round 7 were great value. Getting Stevan Ridley in round 8 to fill in my flex2 position could be very helpful for my starting lineup as I expect Ridley to get most 1st & 2nd down work and goal line carries, filling the BJGE role for New England. Baldwin is a nice WR 4 on my bench and to use when needed for bye weeks and if Ridley struggles or has a bad matchup. Baldwin is working very hard trying to be perfect in everything he does this offseason to get a bigger role in the Seattle offense and improve on his rookie year.

a healthy Peterson, yes definitely. but how can you or anyone classify Murray as steady?

Because when he starts and gets 20 carries (which occurred 5 out of 6 games or 83% of the time that he started) he gets a minimum of 19 points per game. http://football3.myfantasyleague.com/2012/player?L=13888&P=10302

i can't label him that after 5 games. especially when you need to stipulate it with when healthy and getting 20 carries.

 

i love his potential but thats all it is right now. I need to see a larger sample size and the ability to remain on the field (which was an issue in college as well) before I can call him a steady guy.

I've seen enough of him. When given the chance he hasn't proven to be unsteady. Regardless of whatever word you or I use to describe him, I think he's a RB 2 easily and probably a RB 1 in 2012. Wait and see and then we'll know, but when I draft I can only base my decision on what I've seen of a player and their stats and so this is my opinion.
