Good solid team, but you are a little weak at RB I feel. In a 10 team league, you should have a better No. 1. I take it you used an early 1st on Calvin, and waited late 2nd for Jackson or Charles.

Antonio Brown will have a breakout season I feel, and I like the Amendola pick as well. I took him middle of the draft in my keeper last year, but then he got injured week 1.

 

I like your backs and QB's not in love with your wr's though. I think your best bet for a WR is really Brandon Lloyd. I suspect Brown will really struggle without the vertical threat of Mike Wallace across from him. He really benefited from Wallace getting double teams the 2nd half of last year and when Wallace's numbers declined it was Brown who gained the most. If Wallace isnt there its all going to fall on brown. I dont like that. What made Brown one of the most targeted wr's last year was the fact that teams were so scared by Wallace's big play ability. Now its going to mean a lot of forced throws his way and probably a lot of double teams. Amendola is part of a young wr's and Fisher is a pretty conservative coach. Theyre going to see what their younger players can do as well with Quick, Chris Givens, Danario Alexander and Brandon Gibson. Thats a lot of players theyre going to want to see in game action. Im assuming you got him pretty late so I cant beat up the pick but I think you'll be using Lloyd a lot more then Amendola in a non-ppr format.

Oh and do yourself a favor and keep Ryan Williams. Beanie Wells is still rehabbing, Brown will be part of a committee and Williams is going to be a stud!

 

There are only a few elite TEs, the rest really contribute at a similar pace. Amendola will get the targets, but I think his YPC will be single digit, def. making him better in a PPR league.

Ryan Williams is someone I am trying to target in my keeper league as well. Hoping he drops a bit.

 

i think you will be fine...your biggest issue imo is WR if I am correct about Amendola and Brown. How many WR's are you starting? If its 2 youre in ok shape...if its 3 id probably try and flip Brown for someone similar like a Stevie Johnson or Dwayne Bowe.

IMO your best lineup is:
QB: Stafford
RB: Jackson
RB: Charles
WR: CJ
WR: Lloyd
TE: Davis (should be fine, if not Im sure Bennett will have Redzone targets)
Flex: Ryan Williams (I suspect he wins the job clean...I think Martin will get work as a primary in a time share)

Its a good team imo. I think you have depth at running back to secure a trade for a WR upgrade if you want. But I know Lloyd is having a good camp too so I dont know that you really have much to worry about. Davis is adequate at TE. As long as he keeps his head out of his butt (not as easy as it sounds for some people) hes a good player.

 

Amendola also did those things in rare circumstances....the rams were terrible/constantly playing from behind. Amendola was healthy and no one else was, and even if the other players were there they werent really good. Amendola also snuck up on everyone then. There was no TE worth a damn for fantasy purposes..it was just Amendola and Jackson. Plus hes now coming off a serious knee injury so I worry about his ability to separate. I just dont see it but for your teams sake I hope youre right.

Bennett has some legit talent but he needs a coach to ride him...luckily coughlin can be exceptional at that. Could end up being a nice find though.

 

I draft five in a 12 team. In mocks, it is very often Calvin in the first and Stafford in the second.

After that, you sort of have to look RB.

I think it is a very good team. Amendola and Ryan Williams are my two premier sleepers. I think each goes over 1000.

I find Jermaine Greshman is being criminally undervalued, he might be the third best TE. I would trade for him if I didn't have him.

 

You shouldnt let go of davis for gresham. Gresham has a knee sprain. If u want to upgrade Te package davis with a back to a team that needs a back

 

You should pick up Lance Kendricks over Bennett. Bennett had a bad case of the dropsies.

 

As tight ends go in late rounds or waiver, I like:

Gresham, CIN
Moeki, KC (sp?)
Pettigrew, DET
Cook, TEN

Gresham was having a very good TC, so if that knee is fine, I jump all over that

 

QB: Phillip Rivers
RB:LeSean McCoy
RB: Adrian Peterson
WR: Aj Green
WR: Marques Colston
WR: Dwayne Bowe
TE: Aaron Hernandez
W/T: Torrey Smith
W/T/RB: Doug Martin
W/Rb: Deangelo Williams
Def: Chicago

Bench:
WR Michael Floyd
WR Alshon Jefferey
WR Mohammad Sanu
WR Brandon Lafell
RB Lamichael James
RB Chris Rainey
RB Lamar Miller
TE Greg Olsen
QB Matt Shaub

PPR league

 

I suspect you will be using Schaub as much as Rivers based on matchups.
- Your RB's are studly...
- Your flex spot you'll probably be using Sanu and Jeffery more then DeAngelo in a PPR format imo
- Overall its very strong though your dependence on rookies worries me..Lafell and Rainey should probably be dumped imo for more proven players with a better upside.

 

I do two teams a year. One solo and one with friends (takes place in 15 min).

My solo team is...

QB: Cam Newton; Matt Ryan
WR: Jordy Nelson, Dez Byant, Vincent Jackson, Austin Collie, Randy Moss
RB: AP, Jamal Charles, Willis McGahee, Shaun Green.
TE: Tony Gonzo
DEF: NYG; Buffalo
K: Nugent

Thinking of picking of Jennings from Jax. Like most idiots who skip pre-season/training camp, I doubt he'll do anything worthwhile. Green isn't all that great anyway.

 

QB Luke McCown
RB Pierre Thomas
RB Daniel Thomas
WR Greg Lewis
WR Randy Moss
WR Patrick Crayton
TE Todd Heap
D/ST New York Jets
K Nick Folk

BENCH
Doesn't matter. We gots dis.

 

I've only drafted one so far this season (except for a public espn league) and it was for a different message board but it was 12 teams and I picked 3rd and was pretty happy with my haul.

Note: Passing TDs are 4pts

QB: Matt Schaub, Jay Cutler
RB: LeSean McCoy, Darren McFadden, Ryan Mathews, Toby Gerhart, Evan Royster
WR: Percy Harvin, Stevie Johnson, Antonio Brown, Titus Young, Greg Little
TE: Jimmy Graham
DST: Bills, Giants
K: Jason Hanson

 

How the hell did you get McCoy, McFadden, Ryan Mathews, and Jimmy Graham?
Thats potentially 3 1st round picks or 2 first and 2 second round picks?

 

Injury concerns probably.

My guess the draft went like this for him:
1. McCoy
2. McFadden
3. Graham
4. Mathews
5. Harvin
6. Johnson
7. Brown
8. Schaub
9. Cutler

 

12 team PPR league.
passing TD's are 6 points and you get .04 pt.s per passing yard, .1 per rushing or receiving yard.

My Team:

Brees
Freeman
A. Peterson
S. Ridley
K. Smith
B. Marshall
Desean Jackson
Anquan Boldin
Nate Burleson
Antonio Gates
Coby Fleener
Ravens D/ST
Raiders D/St
Robbie Gould

IR
Sidney Rice

 

Exactly

 

Pretty solid.
My biggest concern would be the durability of your RB unit. Alot of injury concerns there.

 

12 team auction leagues. No TE spots the receiver spots are wr/te. Qb, RB, RB, wr/te, wr/te, wr/te, flex

Cam newton
Chris Johnson
Jamal Charles

Austin collie
Randall Cobb

Wr depth is iffy but I like to make sure to grab atleast 3/4 studs in auction drafts


Cam newton
Chris Johnson
Adrian Peterson
Doug Martin

Rashad Jennings
Hakeem Nicks
Jeremy maclin
Demaryious Thomas

only thru 9 rounds so far in a slow-live draft. 10 team league, picking 5th.

Eli Manning
R Rice, S Jackson, C Benson
J Nelson, Mike Wallace, R Wayne
Fred Davis
San Fran Defense

 

Had a money league draft on Friday... thoughts?

QB - C.Newton
RB - R.Rice, S.Jackson, S.Greene, D.Brown, C.Benson
WR - J.Nelson, D.Bowe, D.Jackson, N.Washington, R.Meachem, L.Moore
TE - J.Graham
K - R.Gould
DEF - Tennessee (will likely drop for a match-up based week by week D)

 

Dont like it...cutler was a high end qb2 last year without marshall and Jeffery.

ok, thats your opinion but the facts will be determined if wallace doesnt show up.

if its a ppr i dont lkke your wrs after nelson. If its non ppr jackson is gold imo...he hit 1050 in yards in 09+10...last year he would have had 925 had he not missed a game. Now hes happy avain because hes resolved the contract situation he said bothered him last year. If it is ppr lance moore will end up yohr wr2 once you get frustrated with deseans lack of touches and bowe being in such a run heavy offense.

Not bad on Newton but his schedule is harder then Stafford who probably went 6-10 picks later i would guess.

 

Dropping Cutler was a mistake. You were better off dropping a 5th WR for Wilson. I agree with you about Brown.

 

Im not embarrassed, I just dont put any stock in preseason as far as fantasy football goes. Teams play vanilla coverages and reveal nothing major from their playbooks. Good or bad, the only thing I look at from preseason is who is healthy.

As for Cutler, look at what he did early in his career with marshall. He put up legit qb1 numbers. Maybe not brady or Rodgers good but he definitely could have been used in a trade at the very least. Someone with an injury or who doesnt have a high end starter would probably have moved something of value

 

I am interested in trying to combo Matt Ryan and Julio Jones this week in all my draft....Ryan scares me though....I might go Cutler Marshall too....

Speaking of which boys, every year I come here and ask and am greatly thankful, anywhere I can get a good Top 2-300?? for both non and PPR leagues?? I dont want to rely on ESPN or anything...
