my first ever auction rookie mistakes were waiting it out too long. I overpaid for mid round players had cash left over

I was extremely worried about this. I thought I would be scared to go big on players and end up missing out on everyone and be stuck with lots of money for mediocre players. I wasn't sure if I overcompensated for that with the amounts I put on cj, forsett and Antonio brown. i'm not sure the going rate in auction leagues are. had to resort to lots of $1 players to fill out bench

fwiw, the reason I said that is because Im having a hard time putting values on Kennan Allen and CJ Anderson and they are key in the success of your squad. I honestly have no clue were to rank either guy. I like the rest of your squad though.

I'm bored, so I'll do some quick reviews. I'm not going to manually type out the rosters and don't feel like manually deleting all of the Breaking News Draft stuff from the copy+paste, so sorry about that weirdness :

TATOR TOTS
10 Dez Bryant, Dal WR
15 Calvin Johnson, Det WR
34 Frank Gore, Ind RB
39 Davante Adams, GB WR
58 Doug Martin, TB RB
63 Ameer Abdullah, Det RB
82 Shane Vereen, NYG RB
87 Roddy White, Atl WR
106 Matt Ryan, Atl QB
111 Delanie Walker, Ten TE
130 Charles Sims, TB RB
135 Breshad Perriman, Bal WR
154 Roy Helu, Oak RB
159 Patriots D/ST D/ST
178 Matt Bryant, Atl K


Those WR's are terrifying. I don't like Gore very much. Martin has looked good, but he's going to have one of the worst OL's in the NFL blocking for him, and he's still tough to trust. I don't know what to make of Joique/Abdullah. White looked like a big reach. Vereeen/Helu could end up being really good PPR players, or could end up buried.

I think your WRs are so good that you just need your RBs to be OK. This should be a playoff team.

----------------------------------------------

CQ Q
12 C.J. Anderson, Den RB
13 Odell Beckham Jr., NYG WR
36 Latavius Murray, Oak RB
37 Jimmy Graham, Sea TE
60 DeSean Jackson, Wsh WR
61 Danny Woodhead, SD RB
84 Tony Romo, Dal QB
85 Duke Johnson, Cle RB
108 Victor Cruz, NYG WR
109 Tevin Coleman, Atl RB
132 DeVante Parker, Mia WR
133 David Cobb, Ten RB
156 Kenny Stills, Mia WR
157 Eagles D/ST D/ST
180 Blair Walsh, Min K

I don't trust Denver RBs early. It's bitten me one too many times. The potential for CJ to be a top 5 fantasy RB is there, though. ODB is a monster. Murry averaged 4.1ypc last season outside of his 90 yard TD, which is just OK. He hasn't done much of note this preseason. Graham is looking a bit risky, but he could be huge for you, and was definitely worth taking a chance on that late. I don't trust any Redskin players. I don't know what Woodhead's role will be with Gordon there. Coleman will be a steal if he beats out Freeman. Ditto Cobb/Sankey.

I love ODB, but the rest of the team just feels OK to me. Feels .500 team, though with a high upside if things break right.

---------------------------------------

TEAM DCBJR6
5 Antonio Brown, Pit WR
20 LeSean McCoy, Buf RB
29 Jordan Matthews, Phi WR
44 Todd Gurley, StL RB
53 Arian Foster*, Hou RB
68 Vincent Jackson, TB WR
77 Alfred Blue, Hou RB
92 Martavis Bryant, Pit WR
101 Devonta Freeman, Atl RB
116 Knile Davis, KC RB
125 Eli Manning, NYG QB
140 Darren Sproles, Phi RB
149 Benjamin Watson, NO TE
164 Steven Hauschka, Sea K
173 Browns D/ST D/ST

Brown could be the best PPR player in the league. Shady should be OK in Buffalo, though a lot of people don't like him. Martavis was a really nice pick in the 8th round. I don't like either TB WR with rookie Winston learning the ropes. Davis could be a stud if Charles goes down.

This team could be really scary at the end of the season, but it's fricked early on. Shady is no guarantee to play week 1 and may not be at full strength for a while. Gurley will be on a snap count for a while. Foster is going to miss at least 4 games, possibly twice as many. Alfred Blue isn't a good player. I think you start off the season really poorly, then finish strong and end up around .500. You should probably try to move Gurley or Foster for more immediate RB help.
