stonewall 647 Posted July 13, 2012 WhiteWonder sniped me on Manning So, at 7.03 I'll take Phillip Rivers - Definitely want a proven QB with a high upside. With Manning gone, I still consider Rivers a good value in the 7th, with the added benefit of being very durable. Hopefully, last year was a fluke and he gets back to normal this year. With 4-point TD passes, this seems like a good place to take a QB, and I consider him a viable option with a likely possibility of passing for 4,000+ yards and 35 TD's.

Portis26 0 Posted July 13, 2012 The 12-hour window has expired on Portis26. He is generally on here a lot, but must be out-of-pocket for some reason. In order to keep things moving, I will select for him....although hesitantly, since I've no idea what he has in mind draft-wise. I will try to go with best player available from an ADP standpoint. Portis26 at 6.12 selects Roy Helu. Average ADP of 5.12 Portis26 at 7.01 selects Jermichael Finley. Average ADP of 6.03 Thx- those were 2 of my 3 targets so thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike FF Today 611 Posted July 13, 2012 7.04 - RB Ben Tate, HOU I considered Tate with my previous pick (6.09) so I'm happy to get him here. He is obviously an upside pick who could potentially be a top-five fantasy RB if Foster becomes injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jocstrap 8 Posted July 14, 2012 7.06 Justin Blackmon - WR - Jags So I grew up going to the OSU football games watching Thurman Thomas, Mike Gundy, and Barry Sanders. Can you name the three first round wr's from OSU in the past few years? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted July 14, 2012 So I grew up going to the OSU football games watching Thurman Thomas, Mike Gundy, and Barry Sanders. Me too. I witnessed some last second heart-breakers, particularly against OU. It was sweet to smoke them this year, although we missed our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win the Nat'l Championship. Can you name the three first round wr's from OSU in the past few years? Blackmon, Dez, Rashaun Woods.....not to mention Pettigrew at TE Years back there was also Hart Lee Dykes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike MacGregor 20 Posted July 14, 2012 7.07 RB James Starks, GB Although Rodgers was already selected when I took over this team in the draft (and AJ), it appears to me I could do this QB in the first round thing. Even starting with Rodgers and then a solid trio of WR, pretty happy with Redman-Stewart and now Starks at RB, and a later round TE not yet drafted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FeelingMN 273 Posted July 14, 2012 7.09 Eli Manning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stewburtx8 67 Posted July 14, 2012 7.09 Eli Manning Nick pick. I was a little surprised he lasted this long and by all the QB's that went ahead of him (Ryan, Peyton, Rivers). Hard to argue with 4,000+ yards and 30 TD's. He almost threw for 5,000 last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stewburtx8 67 Posted July 14, 2012 7.10 CJ Spiller, RB/WR, Buffalo I'll lock up the other part of the Buffalo backfield as well as a guy I think could have some value on his own in PPR leagues. It seems Buffalo may be willing to use FJax and Spiller at the same time, with Spiller lining up in the slot. I think Spiller can catch 40+ balls this season. If he gets 10 touches per game, he could flirt with 1,000 total yards. He also showed if Jackson gets hurt, he can carry the full workload. Stonewall will have to make my next pick (I sent him a list). I'm heading out for the day... QB- Tom Brady RB- Matt Forte RB- Fred Jackson RB- CJ Spiller WR- Victor Cruz WR- Antonio Brown WR- Eric Decker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,202 Posted July 14, 2012 Nick pick. I was a little surprised he lasted this long and by all the QB's that went ahead of him (Ryan, Peyton, Rivers). Hard to argue with 4,000+ yards and 30 TD's. He almost threw for 5,000 last year. Eli Manning was my target at 7.02, however I did not expect Peyton to be on the board and being that this is a mock, I decided to take him instead. I rank them Peyton (due to more fantasy upside, imo), Eli, Romo, Ryan, Rivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giraldi02 470 Posted July 14, 2012 7.11 Pierre Garçon. The rookie is going to need someone to hook up with consistently and word is out of Washington Garçon will be getting plenty of opportunities. While I'm not crazy about this pick,he offers a ton of upside as a WR3 and can fill in for the bye week when Harvin and Nicks are out. (Yes even in a mock I'll look for little things like that ). His playoff schedule is nice as the Skins should be down to New England and the Giants and will need to throw a ton. Damn I really wanted Spiller here....... RB: McFadden, Greene WR: White, Nicks, Harvin, Garçon TE: Witten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted July 14, 2012 Nick pick. I was a little surprised Eli lasted this long and by all the QB's that went ahead of him (Ryan, Peyton, Rivers). I considered Eli also, but went with Rivers instead after Peyton went the pick before. Both are durable and well-known commodities that can conceivably crack the top 5 in any given year if things fall right. Both are good value in the 7th, particularly in a 4 pt./pass TD league. However, when you crunch the #'s, Rivers has been the better fantasy QB over a four-year span with 17592/119 as compared with Eli's 16194/108. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

giraldi02 470 Posted July 14, 2012 8.02 Jay Cutler Bye bye Mike Martz. Hello Jeremy Bates. Hello Brandon Marshall. The addition of both these guys means an extreme value on a later round quarterback. I'm expecting Cutler to be a top 10 quarterback. Honestly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted July 14, 2012 8.03 Stewburtx8 selects Fred Davis - In 12 game starts last year pre-suspension, he amassed 800 yards on 88 targets, including 6 of those 12 games with 80 yards or more. He has good hands and speed, and has shown flashes of fantasy excellence. Conceivably, RG3 will be looking for the TE early and often during his rookie season. Although Cooley is still lurking in the shadows, Davis is an upside pick that could pay great dividends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FeelingMN 273 Posted July 14, 2012 8.04 Beanie Wells Meh. Not a big Beanie fan, and it's uncertain what his workload will be in '12.....and this just in, Beanie's knee hurts. Imagine that. Still, he showed flashes last year. Maybe he puts it together this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I rank them Peyton (due to more fantasy upside, imo), Eli, Romo, Ryan, Rivers. You think Peyton has an upside greater than what Eli Manning did last season (4900 and 30 total TD's)? I just think Eli is safer. I'd probably rank them Eli, Romo, Peyton, Ryan, Rivers. But all 5 are pretty close in my opinion, and I wouldn't hate to end up with any of them.

Mike FF Today 611 Posted July 16, 2012 I've been instructed to pick for Mike Mac. 8.06 - RB Peyton Hillis, KC My suspicion is MM may be targeting a different position with this pick but I'm also guessing his target may be available for his pick in Round 9, so I'll take a lead from a previous mock MM participated in and go with Hillis.

Mike FF Today 611 Posted July 16, 2012 8.09 - WR Santonio Holmes, NYJ A head case perhaps, but sufficient for a WR3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted July 16, 2012 8.10 - Malcom Flyod I actually like him better than Meachem. I believe Meachem will continue to be Meachem....wildly inconsistent. Rivers is good for 3500-4000 yards. Gates will get his 1,000. Mathews will get his 400-500, if he is lucky. So, who gets the other 2,500? Well, Meachem and Brown will both have good games from time to time, but I feel it will be Floyd (6'5" - 225 lbs.) who will be the consistent WR. Rivers is comfortable with him, and over his last eight games last season, Floyd posted four 100-yard games while catching 34 passes for 698 yards and five touchdowns. Yes, health issues are a concern, but in the late 8th I'll take my WR3 with high WR2-low WR1 upside.
