re: *Official "Rate My Team" Thread*

I couldn't believe it, and I couldn't pass him up. Julio Jones, DT88, and Bryant all went before AJ

quote:

---

Jay Cutler -I'm a big fan of cutler this year as a QB with nice upside without a high cost
Matt Forte (my first overall pick) -Solid
Arian Foster - I'm avoiding him this year due to injury/desire concerns
Vincent Jackson - Good but not elite IMO
Desean Jackson -I think he may do well this year
Charles Clay - Not sure what to make of Miami this year, new scheme may help
Ben Tate - Another injury concern, IMO
Bears D/ST - Solid
Phil Dawson -No idea on kickers


Kendall Wright -Good depth
Golden Tate -Good depth
Bernard Pierce - I think he may have a nice year
Eli Manning -Not a believer
Odell Beckham Jr -Hope his season isn't sunk bc of the hamstring
Jordan Matthews - heard mixed reviews, lotto ticket
Andre Brown -a man with no team, may want to ditch him for someone else.

Picked 3rd in a 13 team snake. I feel like I may have reached for Foster in the 2nd. Some better receivers were available. I was blinded by my fandom.

Was your league PPR? If your injury concern players stay healthy I think you have a decent shot at the playoffs. Of not, you may be in trouble.

Here is mine. 12 team, 1 point PPR, 4 pt QB TDs.

We get to have up to 2 keepers who count against the round before they were drafted. I picked Alshon Jeffrey in the 13th last year, so he counted as my 12th round pick. I had chosen to keep Josh Gordon (who would have counted as my 9th round pick) before the suspension and decided to waive him instead of keeping him Drafted 1st in a snake draft, round #s in ():

(8)Matt Ryan (13th QB off the board, good value)
(1)Jamaal Charles
(3)Andre Ellington
(12)Alshon Jeffery
(2)Randall Cobb
(9)Dennis Pitta
(5)Kendall Wright
Texans (1 pt bonus for sacks, hoping they look decent, or will just dump them and grab another)
Nick Novak

Bench:
(4)Joique Bell
(6)Pierre Thomas
(7)Sammy Watkins (Keeper Lotto ticket, think I may have bought too early, but WRs were running scarce)
(10)Terrance West (Ben Tate injury lotto ticket )
(11)Jarrett Boykin (Cobb insurance)
(13)Knile Davis (Charles insurance)

Hopefully some of my bench plays work out for me to use or for trade bait.

QB - D. Brees, P. Rivers, R. Tannehill
RB - L. McCoy, M. Ball, R. Jennings, Knile Davis, Jeremy Hill, Bryce Brown
WR - Antonio Brown, Cordarelle Patterson, Torrey Smith, M. Colston, Hakeem Nicks, Brandin Cooks, Doug Baldwin
TE - J. Thomas, Z. Ertz, J. Reed
D/ST - Panthers
K - J. Tucker, A. Vinateri

It's just an 8 team league. Two starters at QB, TE, FLEX, and K. Three at RB and WR.

That's a hell of a WR haul

12 team PPR, had 12th pick.

Luck
Ellington
Joique Bell
Dez
AJ
Ladarius Green
Welker

Newton (He was sitting there late and I couldn't pass him up)
Lamar Miller
Khiry Robinson
Carlos Hyde
Josh Gordon
Wheaton
Brandon Lafell

I'll obviously have to drop 2 before the first game to add defense and kicker.

Once I missed Gronk and Julius, I knew I would be the last team to take a TE. I think if one of my RBs pops, I'll be in good shape.

Cutler
Lacy
Foster
J. Nelson
A. Johnson
J. Graham
C. Johnson
49ers D
P. Dawson


Spiller
P.Garcon
L. Miller
Harvin
E. Sanders
P. Rivers
Chiefs D

Not bad. Typically I would give you a hard time for drafting a backup QB, but it looks like you got Rivers in the 13th round, that great value for him.

RBs really suck. I think you could do well, but youd need one of those diamond in the rough RBs to do well.

Jamaal Charles is a beast and Joique Bell will be a serviceable RB2 in PPR but you're right about my depth. taking a leap of faith on gronk with my 3rd pick and not a RB is a gamble that must pay off for me to be relevant
