BOOM

Top 6 team

Here we have what is likely 5 top 10 players at their position. That's a good start. WR2 is abysmal, Gurley and Gates could provide some thump as the year goes on. All and all, Boom has put himself in position to challenge the top 6 every week

21JS

Top 6 team

You did well drafting starters. No real holes at any of the positions. There is some room for volatility there, though. McCoy's injury and workload, Morris doesnt catch balls, Megatron's penchant for getting hurt, Maclin in a shitty pass offense... Could go either way. Love Martellus Bennett there as a glue guy; should have a nice floor getting force fed in CHI. Doug Martin is a nice bench stash, and Leonard Hankerson could be a nice sleeper on the bench. Should be good until he trades his team away

GYNO

Bottom 6 team

Not much talent outside of Bell, Julio and Dez. Needs to go 1-1 the first two weeks while Bell is out or else the season could go awry. shite backs after Bell and Woodhead. Not totally sold on Cutler's demise, Gase runs a nice offense as well. Could use a Josh Hill breakout. Loaded up on pass catching RBs, hoping just to be consistent while the studs go HAM.

PCT

Top 6 team

Another well balanced attack across the starting lineup. Some bench upside there, too. Dont understand the Vernon Davis stuff, must be missing something. If Manning gets back into stud territory, PCT will be GTG.

CE

Bottom 6 team

We will buy on Brees, Lacy and Forsett. WRs are woof. Latavius has some upside but on a shite team. We kind of know what Jennings and Ivory are at this point. Just not really sexy RBs. Looking for a wild card that could POP on the bench, that guy will be Devante Parker. I dont mind Decker. This could be one of those sneaky, consistently boring teams that finished 6th every week if things turn out right.

drizztiger

Top 6 team

Went away from spending money on studs and collected a nice group of guys. Love Matthews and Hopkins, they are NEXT. Spiller, if healthy, will eat himself into oblivion in the Saints passing offense. Not an Abdullah guy, but one of the 3 rookie RBs should turn out. Rodgers is Rodgers. Marshall also a great value.

MWG

Bottom 6 team

Anderson and Hill, thunder and lighting. I tell ya, I had Hill penciled in as my RB for the past few weeks if he stayed under $50. He's a stud. Evans and Watkins are studs, too, but they will go as their QBs go. I look to see who could possibly supplement them if they become inconsistent, and I dont see much I want to fap too with Fitz, White, and Desean. Not sure where to go on Bradford (rivers may start?), dont like Ertz (Green will be starting there for you id guess). If Evans or Watkins can emerge as a true fantasy `WR1, you should be fine.

OMT

Bottom 6 team

Had a quiet draft, I almost forgot you were there. Another draft that went dink dink dink - chipped away at a bunch of mid range players. My only question lies within a few of those guys - Miller, Edelman, Sanders - regress, get better, or stay the same. Will be fine if the latter two comes to fruition. Swung for the fences with Bryant and CJohnson - I like. Two guys who could have a coming out party. Big Ben at $17 - meh, im not totally buying. Money couldve been spent elsewhere I think

Alum

Bottom 6 team

Welcome to the bottom 6 club, mate. This is what happens when you spend close to $40 on a QB. Good news is, you may have enough consistent guys to where Luck will carry you to the promised land.. maybe. $34 invested in Randle and Stewart - yikes, just give me a $34 RB here instead. Nothing guaranteed there. Juice needs to build on his rookie year, but now there are 4 infant quadruplets in MIA looking to get fed by mommy. We do like your bench, however. Solid across the board. We will see how things play out over here.


Honkus


Top 6 Team I guess

I teter tottered back and forth here. I like that young, three headed dragon WR corps. Gronk there, too. Noice. RBs, well, that's not much to fap to at this point in time. As for QB play, we need to see what Jekyl and Hyde Eli does this year. Sankey looked good tonight, maybe he can answer the bell at RB. This is one of those upside teams that could blow teams out of the water or fart and shite their pants. Who knows

Toula

Top 6

Another balanced squad, top to bottom. Im going to go with 5 potential top 10 players at their position. Allen Robinson is the joker here. Im expecting big things from Caleb Sturgis this year, too.

Mr Papps

Bottom 6

Must say Im not a fan of the $45 spend for Ingram and Hyde. To battering rams who should see tons of GL work, but I want them to catch more passes. You do have a few bench options at RB, though. I like what you did there at WR, if Johnson stays healthy he gon eat. Witten stil has some juice left to catch 80 balls. Lafell, Royal, Brown, Harvin... nice bench depth at WR. We will have to wait and see what happens at QB.


GLTY to all

It's cliche AF at this point, but I really don't see any terrible teams. I think it's anyone's ball game.

2 or 3 stood out above the rest with above average starting units.

I thought Alshon at 49 was solid considering where the guys grouped w/him went.

Nelson and Benjamin thinned out the top tier of WR. Couple that with a lot of the big WRs going early, there was more of a premium on that next wave of WR.

Disappointed in my No. 3 WR, but the wideouts were expensive. Got quantity over quality there, and hopefully I can get lucky on a few start and sits.

Came in saying I was getting Hill to go with another back of his ilk. I know there's a Lynch/Forte duo out there, and I spent $11 more to get my guys, but I am enamored with players I own -- which fantasy player isn't?

I spent $3 on Knile and $3 on Montee. If I use that plus all the money (11, 5 and 4) I used on my bench WRs to get my No. 3, that should have been the play.

Hill and Anderson are both on bye in Week 7. Should have said frick it and run with 2 backs all season long.

Yeah I was hoping to grab one of Hilton, Hopkins, or Matthews, but I didn't want to pay what they went for. I'm happy with getting both sanders and Edelman at $23

Yeah, I wanted to avoid a high priced QB but I said frick it, I'll take Luck.

Some player costs were insane this year. If I had not drafted Luck, I would have gotten a guy like Matt Ryan and AJ Green instead of Cooper.

We will see what happens.

I'm surprised 21JS didn't buy Fred Jackson for $2 as a handcuff to McCoy.

Sturgis shout out

Didn't want Matt Ryan, just wanted someone to pay over $3 for him.

Now Im tempted to start him over Wilson week 1. At home vs Philly on MNF gonna be a shoot out.

time to hype some players

quote:

Markus Wheaton caught three passes for 42 yards and a touchdown against the Packers Sunday.
Wheaton opened the game with the starters and played ahead of Martavis Bryant in two-wide sets on the opening drive. Wheaton saw the same number of targets as Antonio Brown, and he would have been 4-for-4 had Ben Roethlisberger not missed him badly on a sideline throw. Wheaton may not finish the season in the starting lineup, but it certainly appears he will start it there. He is worth a shot at his WR52 ADP.


Martavis Bryant is this years Cordarelle Patterson bust

Probably. I'm just hoping either him or Charles Johnson hits.

I thought for sure I was going to get taken to the cleaners on Allen Robinson

You had zero WRs and money and drizz had a pot of gold. By my accounts, him and Andre Johnson were way above of the remaining WR2s.

after wasting $6 on Jennings at that point my wr limit was $25 for 2 wr's. I like Keenen over ARob anyway
