Fantasy Footballers: General thread

[Carp]

I assume most on this forum play. How do your teams look this yr. This is the first yr I've played for a cash payout. 25 to enter to win 125. 2nd place wins 75.

We drafted last Tuesday in an 8 man league (hard to find players on night shift). Since it's a shallow league, everyone has a stacked team. Everyone went QB happy at the start, but I kept taking RB's since QB is deep this yr. Here's how my team panned out:

QB:
R. Wilson
Roethlisberger
Schaub
Locker


RB:
Ray Rice
Richardson
Demarco Murray
David Wilson
Shonn Greene

WR:
Megatron
Mike Wallace
Greg Jennings
Britt
Stevie Johnson - Bills
Kendall Wright

TE:
Jimmy Graham
Jermichael Finley

Defense:
Bengals
Giants

K:
Bironas



Overall, I'm very happy with my team. 4 of the top 15-20 backs, and Megatron. Wish I had a better 2nd WR, but I'm happy with what I have.


How is your team(s) looking? Are we looking to start a ChopCountry league?

[Bdawg2309]

12 team league
QB Newton
RB Lynch
RB Murray
WR Demaryius Thomas
WR Colston
WR T.Y hilton
TE Martellus Bennett(should've gone after a TE earlier)
Flex: Green-ellis
D: Bears
K: Zuerlein

my first opponent modified his starting lineup for week 1, going with Wilson over Brees at QB... LOL

Oh, and it's a QB favorable league.

[GMAJAH25]

10 team league. Who do I start at QB?

[GMAJAH25]

Also I have offers of Kaep for AJ Green....and Richardson for Dez Bryant.

Kaep and Richardson for AP and a throw in.

[weso1]

Kaep for Green seems like a great trade for you, especially since you have Griffin on the bench.

[GMAJAH25]

Im just a little worried about Griffin. I feel it can be hit or miss for both those guys...

I'd be more worried about Kaep than RG3 to be honest.

Please elaborate.

Lot of people on the Kaep bandwagon it seems.

[Heyward]

Lot of people on the Kaep bandwagon it seems.

I'm not, worried he may have a little bit of regression especially without Crabtree.

[NinersSBChamps]

I am not necessarily on the bandwagon per se. I think he will have a good season and when I picked him there weren't many quarterback options.

[Heyward]

I would take him, just not at the rate he's going.

The drop off from RB's in the first 2-3 rounds to 4-6 is HUGE.

Not a big difference fantasy wise from Rodgers to say, a Eli/Romo/Stafford in the 7th-9th round. I wait on QB's.

Got a draft tommorow, plan to do the same.

[Tapate50]

Got a 10 team PPR league drafting tonight. Won it last year. Has a nice little wrinkle in it though... Every transaction cost you a dollar, and you can auction a player off in weeks 7 or 8 and 50 % tax on the selling price goes to the pot to build it up. Also 50 dollar penalty for last and 25 for next to last.

[thethe]

Kaep will be a better real life QB than fantasy QB. He won't be runnign as much as he did last year. I wouldn't take him in fantasy for that reason.

[NinersSBChamps]

This is the first time I can remember where I actually had guys on my fantasy team that were on the 49ers. I have a handful of teams and I believe they are all have Vernon Davis.

[Tapate50]

Frank Gore may not be a flashy pick, but he is a rock solid No 2 RB in Fantasy football. Great OL helps.

I like what SJax will bring to Atlanta. Guy can be a PPR monster. Should score 10 tds easily.

[thethe]

They are going to dial back his carries this year and then increase for the playoffs. Hunter is a great later round rb pick.
