Eh not horrible, not great. I think you'll have to sub Ronnie with Maroney for awhile and who knows if either of them will have huge numbers. (hopefully RB will as the season progresses)

Lacking a real number 1 at WR and TE.

I like McNabb and Russel.

Overall, I think your just lacking superstars, aside from LT.

 

This is a 12 team league and the roster positons are 1 starting quarterback, 2 starting running backs, 2 starting wide receivers, 1 starting TE, 1 starting W/R, and 4 starting defensive players.


QB- Tony Romo, Philip Rivers

RB- Marshawn Lynch, Jamal Lewis, Fred Taylor, Chris Johnson, Derrick Ward, Tim Hightower

WR- Dwayne Bowe, Joey Galloway, Reggie Williams, Jabar Gaffney, Devin Hester

TE- Kellen Winslow, Donald Lee

K- Neil Rackers

DB- Antonio Cromartie, Ed Reed

DL- James Harrison, Jon Beason

 

I keep critiquing everyone's teams, so it's time to reciprocate. This is my Club Level league team. 12 teams in the league, #1 pick, Yahoo standard scoring:

QB Donovan McNabb
WR Marques Colston
WR Roy Williams
WR Javon Walker
RB LaDainian Tomlinson
RB Michael Turner
TE Antonio Gates
K Phil Dawson
DEF Chicago
BN Matt Forte
BN DeAngelo Williams
BN Derrick Mason
BN Brett Favre
BN Donte' Stallworth
BN Tampa Bay

 

Damn, nice draft. Only thing I don't like is Walker and Stallworth, but Mason might be able to crack your starting line up.

 

I don't like Walker and Stallworth either. Walker was the best receiver available when I NEEDED to pick a third WR, and Stallworth was likewise the best WR available when I needed to fill out my bench.

Walker is at least very talented and the unquestioned #1 WR on that Raiders team. If he stays healthy, he'll produce. Stallworth is just a fill-in.

 

Here's mine.
I am in the other club level league.
QB Carson Palmer
WR Larry Fitzgerald
WR Chris Chambers
WR L. Coles
RB L.T.
RB Willis Mcgahee
TE Antonio Gates
K Nick Folk
BN RB Kevin Smith
BN WR Jericho Crotchery
BN QB Brett Favre
BN WR Derrick Mason
BN TE Zach Miller

DEF Baltimore
DEF Seattle

 

Start Seattle's defense over Baltimore's. Patrick Kerney, Lofa Tatupu, and Marcus Trufant combining in that weak division is a dream.

 

Get someone else besides Russell to be your backup. Anyone.

You'll have trouble at WR. I'd see what else is out there in FA.

Solid. Certainly could use a backup TE instead of Mason somewhere down the line.

Not bad but lol@Crotchery.

 

Depends on what happens. Gates' bye isn't until Week 9 or so: I have plenty of time to see how Mason and Stallworth pan out. (Or I could get a trade going to a WR-poor team, but who knows.) I don't consider backup TE a high priority.

 

I'd be weary if his injured toe acts up. Down the stretch last season he was getting few receptions and yards as a result of injury I believe.

 

Tried an NFL.com public league live draft last week and this is my roster after drafts and trades:

QB Peyton Manning
WR Randy Moss
WR Roy Williams
WR Reggie Wayne (acquired via trade)
RB LaDainian Tomlinson (acquired via trade)
RB Frank Gore
TE Kellen Winslow
K John Kasay
DEF Pittsburgh
BN Ronnie Brown
BN DeAngelo Williams (off waivers)
BN Alge Crumpler (off waivers)
BN Brett Favre
BN Chris Chambers (acquired via trade)

Can you say game-****ing over?

 

I'm not worried about the toe. Even if he's not 100%, he's running on it. Jonathan Stewart isn't exactly hobbled by his toe either, so there's hope.

Besides, Witten was gone and the only other TE worthy of the pick in that spot is Kellen Winslow, but he's allergic to TDs. (Plus Anderson's status after that concussion is still iffy.)

 

Still, with injuries, you gotta be cautious. Definitely keep an eye out on the FA wire if the worst case scenario happens.

 

There are no less than 4 TEs in free agency that will likely remain there and that I wouldn't mind picking up if Gates goes down. I'll be fine, with the caveat that the one guy I was hoping would make it to free agency--Zach Miller--did not.

Darren Sproles just became a free agent in this league. It's too bad I'm absolutely stocked at RB; he'd be a great handcuff pick. :wink2:

 

Ah well that's good. In a few of my leagues the best you're gonna get is Tony Scheffler.

 

Tony Scheffler is long gone in this league. He's not one of the guys I meant. :lol:

 

I had to scrounge for the likes of Randy McMichael and Anthony Fasano so far. :lol:

 

I think the TE situation in this league is different from the one in yours. :wink2:

Ideally, I'd like to trade Williams or Forte after a couple of weeks to a guy who needs RB help, and get a #2 receiver in return. I'd waive Stallworth and pick up a backup TE that way.

 

12 teams. PPR. 4th pick.

QB, RB, WR, WR, RB/WR, TE, K, DEF

QB - C. Palmer - Round 5
RB - S. Jackson - Round 1
WR - TJ Houshmandzadeh - Round 2
WR - T. Holt - Round 3
TE - D. Clark - Round 4

There were 4 QBs taken in the first round. I was laughing because I knew Palmer and Hasselbeck would be there waiting for me in the 5th. And they were. I didnt want to take a TE so early, but some douchebag took Shockey in the late 3rd and set off a huge run on TE. Gates, Winslow, Witten, Gonzalez, and Clark all went back to back. I feel bad for the guys that missed out on that run. I barely caught the end of it.

I won this league last year, and plan on doing it again this year.

 

I feel pretty decent about this one(although i felt the same after my daft last year and came in 4th). this leauge is with co-workers so i really want to take these guys money.

10 team 1qb 2wr 2rb 1te 1wr/te 1d 1k

QB-Romo
RB-Steven Jackson
RB-Michael Turner
WR-Braylon
WR-Fitz
TE-Gates
WR/TE-Dwayne Bowe
D-Jax
K-Josh Brown


BN-Chris Cooley,Ryan Grant,Brandon Marshall,Ricky,Rudi Johnson,Ginn,Chester Taylor,Selvin Young.

i drafted 5th and had Westbrook originally along with Laverneus Coles ,but traded both of them for Jackson and Braylon. i stole Marshall though people thought he was suspended half the season and i didnt correct them :)

 

Rudi Johnson is a waste of a pick. Drop him for Chris Perry, or see if you can trade him to an idiot for someone like DeAngelo Williams.

Who's your backup QB?

 

dont have one alot of people went on a run for back up Qbs and i thought guys like marshall grant and selvin were too good to pass up. warner garcia campbell and delhomme seem to be the best left.which one would be best?

 

thats a badass team.

 

Wait a couple of days. If Warner gets the starting job, take him; otherwise, Delhomme, Campbell, and Garcia in that order.

 

Probably not unless your RB's are down. You look like you may need WR more than RB.

 

Personally, I think Cotchery is gonna have a great year (1000 yds+, 10 TDS+) with the addition of Favre so I wouldn't...

I can see either way though...

 

So.. uhm.. How does my team look?? :king:

Starting:

QB: Carson Palmer
RB: Adrian Peterson
RB: Darren McFadden
WR: Roy Williams
WR: Andre Johnson
R/W: Selvin Young
TE: Alge Crumpler
PK: Nick Folk
DST: Pittsburgh

Bench:

QB: Chad Pennington
RB: DeShaun Foster
WR: Ted Ginn Jr.
WR: Deion Branch
TE: Zach Miller
DST: Miami

Also.. I'm not sure if I should start Selvin Young or Ginn as R/W.. Any advice there??

 

Pretty nice. Id start Young and replace Crumpler with Miller.

 

Really?? I think Crumpler is going to benefit from playing with Young.. We'll see, I can always change it up depending oon what happens week 1..

 

Miller has gotten a ton of looks so far in Oak. Crumpler will benefit, but I don't think he'll benefit as much. We'll see pretty quickly.

 

So is it safe to say that Slaton is the better of the Slaton/Taylor duo in Hou?

He came back to practice on monday and is reported to be sharing carries with Taylor in week 1 as they ease Ahman Green back. I need to drop Taylor somewhat soon if hes the loser.

 

i basically ended up in the worst draft position in my strangely arranged 12 team keeper league and ended up banking on the young receivers to blossom...
Starters:
QB - Roethlisberger
RBs - Gore, Jamal Lewis
WRs - Calvin Johnson, Dwayne Bowe
WR/TE Flex - Chris Chambers
TE - Todd Heap
K - Phil Dawson
Def - Seattle

Bench:
Sidney Rice - WR
Ted Ginn - WR
Edgerrin James - RB
Deshaun Foster - RB
Alge Crumpler - TE
Tavaris Jackson - QB (Is playing Detroit the week of Big Ben's bye)

so i'm heavily relying on the 2nd year WRs to step it up big for me...

 

I'd be pretty concerned about those WRs. Maybe see if you can swing a trade for Edge or Lewis and a young WR for a Stud WR.
