Miles Austin is a bad ass. Romo loves him. Jackson I would drop and pick up someone else. Kenny Britt is fast as shit. put up over 70pts back to back weeks last week. I would start him for sure. Henderson is a frustrating player. Just as soon as you take him out he blows up. Ryan Mattews is supposed to see more running back this year...hmmmmmm Frank Gore didn't do shit for me last year. The rest speaks for itself.

Got another one of my money drafts done.. I missed my first two picks :(

I was pick 12 in a 12 man league with a snake draft.....

QB: Philip Rivers, David Garrard
RB: Darren Mcfadden, Ryan Grant, Ben J Ellis, Mark Ingram
WR: Anquan Boldin, Desean Jackson, Mike Sims-Walker, Davone Bess, Hines Ward
TE: Dustin Keller, Benjamin Watson
K: J Hanson
DEF: Houston Texans (only bc I'm banking on Manning being out)

I usually play my defenses depending on matchups each week.

[samiam3356]

You've got some beast WR's. River's is in a offense that primarly throws the ball. Good for you. Running backs are meh like mine. i do the same on the def

[Danny]

We auto drafted last night

QB
Michael Vick
Joe Flacco

WR
Jermy Maclin
Kenny Britt
Pierre Garcon - Hope he stays healthy
Mike Williams
Steve Breaston

RB
Mark Ingram
Jahvid Best
Fred Jackson

TE
Dallas Clark - fuck yea
Dustin Keller - dropping for Starks - still out there??

K
Adam Vineteri

Def
Dallas
Kansas City - dropping for mcgahee -

You must be in an 8 man league. There's no way you pulled this off in a 10 or 12 man league lol, there's too much talent. I wouldn't worry about getting Starks, McGahee is a nice pickup though, I would try and get another WR. I would bet Greg Little is still undrafted in your league and he should be getting lots of time in the Brown's new west coast offense.

This is a solid list. I would try and trade Fred Jackson away however and get another RB, maybe McGahee or Hightower if you can convince someone. Rumor has it that CJ Spiller will be taking a much greater work load this season. Also, if that's Steve Smith from the Eagles then its a nice pickup, he'll be seeing a good amount of time with the ball out of the slot.

This is a really solid team for a 12 man league, you have mostly starters and really only a shitty defense. After week 1 I'd get rid of Houston ASAP. I like the Lions Defense this year, I see a lot of sacks.

[z31maniac]

^I've already got McGahee on my bench.

I think it's a decent start for a 10 man league.

Actually its a 12 man league but we auto draft. I put some time into it this year before the draft. Starks looked good toward the end of last year. Fred jackson is washed up. Little actually got drafted.

Hightower has the break away speed. I waited all last year for spiller to come alive and he NEVER did. Never waited for the holes to develop. I would stay away from him. Steve Smith from NYG right?

Houston made Indy look like shit last year in the opener. Manning isn't 100% either for the 1st game. hmmmmmmmmmmm

[TexasTerp]

In a 12man PPR-style league. I didn't get a good hold of the ones I wanted as I was 8th in the draft (one of the worst positions in my opinion).

QB: Drew Brees, Kevin Kolb
WR: Vincent Jackson, Santonio Holmes, Deion Branch, Nate Burleson
RB: LeSean McCoy, Marshawn Lynch, Beanie Wells, Montario Hardesty, Roy Helu
TE: Dallas Clark, Brandon Pettigrew
K: Nate Keading
DEF: Pittsburgh

Working on picking up C.J Spiller as a back up/potential starter in place of Beanie Wells. I'm curious to see how Holmes works out with Burress now in the mix.

Last year was my first year in a fantasy league and I made it to the 3rd round of playoffs thanks to some strategic free agent pickups late in the season. I'm hoping to work some of that magic again this year. I'm already looking at a number of players I expect to finish the season strong and start mediocre...

I agree with you on the Indy opener. I just don't know about the rest of the season. With Mario standing up and them moving to a 3-4 esque scheme, I can see a lot of mistakes, just like the redskins last year.

Hence while I'll be swapping my def's in and out each week. Unless for some miraculous reason they become beast.

[samiam3356]

Picked Starks up. Hopefully Grant goes down

[Danny]

I dunno man, Grant has apparently dropped like 20 lbs from last year and has turned into a real lean mean fight machine.

[drumad]

^hey sam, don't wish for that evil haha.

Ok, I'll go ahead and ask. Why the eff do we not have a r3v league?

Prize = a sig/banner/trophy image
