re: TDFL Preseason Thread

how do you pull up the auction grid? anyone know?

on home page, highlight league and click auction

the grid is in the top left

I goofed on Morris



Reed for 12 ended up being awful value, although I was happy at the time.

I'm super high on him but would have settled for Rudolph at 8 or Pitta at whatever he went for

For having to run a live/online auction at the same time where people had their heads up their asses and couldn't even log into the website, I feel I did OK.

May lack at the Flex position, but in a PPR league, that could possibly be the easiest position to find on the WW.

But I am counting on a top-20 WR year for Hunter.

i think VKC could have walked away with this one had he not spent the extra money on cruz. he could have left the draft room, came back in an hour and dominated

I want LeSean!

Damn had reviews on each team and accidentally X'd out on my phone

1. VKC

Likes: He arguably has 3 top 15 players in McCoy, Marshall, and Julio. Victor Cruz will be top 15 WR if healthy. Reggie Bush & Gates fill out his starters nicely.

Dislike: Nothing stands out. Has some nice upside players on his bench.

XFactor: a strong season by Russell Wilson could make this team hard to beat. Also keep an eye on Amendola's role in NE's offense.

2. PortCity24

Likes: The Forte & Calvin combo should be lethal. Luck in year 3 should take a step, and Olsen is poised for a big year at TE. Bench is solid.

Dislikes: Jeremy Maclin is hard to lean on as a WR2, & CJ2K's tank is running low.

X factor: Emmanuel Sanders. Is he going to get legit WR2 targets or not? If so, he got a steal at $17.

3. Lester Earl

Likes: I think i landed 2 WR's that will put up WR1 numbers. Extremely high on Brady this year.

Dislikes: TE is weak, and bench is just OK. Can Lynch defy the 300carry odds for RBs.

X Factor: Ray Rice. After his 2 game suspension is up, will he return to form? If he can at least catch 50-60 balls, I'll be happy with that.



4. Toula

Likes: Just solid value up and down. Nothing stands out, but every player could be valuable.

Dislikes: If i had to nitpick, it's a lack of overall top level caliber players. Brown & Lacy are nice pieces, but can they carry a team when that extra boost is needed?

XFactor: Cordarrelle Patterson. Has potential WR1 upside, at this point is WR2 on this team. Even if he busts, he has some quality WR to replace.


5. Mr WiseGuy

Likes: I like the Nelson, Floyd and Gronk 3 some. Bernard is a solid RB1 in PPR. Has a solid bench of vets that could thrive with playing time. Jay Cutler was a smart handcuff for Cam.

Dislikes: If Rashard Jennigns doesn't work out, im not sure he has a replacement on this roster to fill in. Bishop Sankey, currently in Flex, is meh.

XFactor: Justin Hunter at $6 could be the steal of the draft if the preseason is any indication.


6. The Rick

Likes: I really like Matt Ryan this year, and he got Charles, arguably the top player. Joique Bell as a RB3 may be the strongest in the league.

Dislikes: I like his WRs, but to me they could be stronger. Both are more WR2 types on paper, imo. Im kind of sensing a rebound year by Fitz, but i'll let him do it before i crown him.

XFactor: Kelvin Benjamin. As his WR3, he really needs him to play well. The rest of his bench lacks contributors.

7. Honkus

Likes: Like the WR duo of Jeffery & Crabtree. On paper, the RB duo looks strong too. Loving his bench with guys like Edelman, Ladarius, and Freeman.

Dislikes: Big question marks around the board. Murray's health history. And then a bunch of guys you just wish had longer track records: Foles, Ellington, Jefferey, and Crabtree. Not saying they are bad, you just don't really know what youre going to get.

XFactor: Foles. If he can build on what he did last year, then we're talking a top 5 QB. Will defensive coordinators figure out that offense? Hasn't looked like it quite yet.


8. OneMoreTime

Like: Peterson & DT88 are top 3 at their position. Really like Kyle Rudolph this year. Reggie Wayne and Decker are nice bench players. Could start for some other teams.

Dislikes: just not a huge Stacy fan, and i dont like his backups here either.

XFactor: Torrey Smith. Will be playing the "Andre Johnson role" in Kubiak's offense. Will he produce like that?


9. Lou T

Likes: Andre Johnson & Jimmy Graham make a formidable duo catching passes. Stafford will flirt with 5k yards again, imo. Vincent Jackson is a strong Flex play. One of the strongest benches in the league.

Dislikes: Uncertainty at RB has to be a concern. Both have injury/desire issues.

XFactor: ARian Foster. Louie bid on him like he thinks he's a legit RB1. Im skeptical. But if he can return to form, this is a really good team.


10. The Goodfellas

Likes: Rodgers is a stud, Ball has tons of upside. The Cobb/Rodgers duo should rake in points. Like Louie, has a strong bench.

Dislikes: Matthews, Cobb, Harvin. Walking M*A*S*H* unit.

XFactor: the guys above. Cobb isn't as injury prone as the other 2, but a lot of his success will depend on the health of these 3 guys.


11. 21 Jumpstreet

Likes: Brees is obviously a monster in this format. Dez is as well. Wes Welker for $7 could pay off. Julius Thomas might catch 90 balls this year.

Dislike: RB is really meh. Not sure what these guys will bring, so i hestitate to put this team any higher.

XFactor: TY Hilton. his end numbers look a lot better then what his week 2 week production was. Will he continue to cock tease into year 3 or will he be more accountable?


12. Drunken Clams

Likes: Peyton Manning obviously. Marques Colston and Golden Tate were both great value in my eyes.

Dislikes: I just struggle to see the direction. In a perfect world, Bell & Williams are RB2/WR2. And im not sure Spiller or Tate can make up that slack.

Xfactor: His rookie WRs. Watkins & Cooks are the front runners for ROY. Can one of them eclipse 1k yards, or double digit TDs? If so, that will boost this team.

You and Gyne are quick.
