Really hoping for romo to step up and for that to happen Gyno. Just putting a feeler out for Brees

As I do with all my rankings, I didn't rank my team. Here's how I see it:
BR Steak Sandwich
The bargain team is what I like to call it. Roddy White, Alfred Morris, Vincent Jackson, Reggie Bush and Desean Jackson all went for bargains. Then he spent $8 on Josh Gordon. Maybe it's just me, but I can't spend more than a couple of bucks on a guy who may suspended 8+ games. Doug Martin at $33 is also a little steep for my taste. But if Cam performs as a top-5 QB and Jason Witten remains a good PPR player, this team will be one of the top contenders for the top spot.
Team Dav
The starting lineup is sexy: DeMarco Murray, Jordy Nelson, Jimmy Graham, Wes Welker and Reggie Wayne. Chris Johnson is meh at RB#2, but you can't be strong at every position. Also a little suspect on Matt Ryan, but he certainly has the weapons to be a top-6 QB. Some solid depth with Danny Woodhead and Mauriece Jones-Drew
Libs Tiger
Great Big 3 with LeSean McCoy, Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas. Andre Ellington is a little scary, but in a PPR, you could be just fine. I hate Emmanuel Sanders as a No. 2 WR, and I'm not particularly enamored with any of your $1 or $2 players. If Tom Brady returns to form, your Big 3 could easily turn into a Big 4.
Drizz Tiger
Depth and a stud up top. Not a bad way to construct a team. You have four running backs who could start on a weekly basis in a PPR league, headlined by Jamaal Charles. And then four to five more wide receivers who could also start. I like Jordan Cameron, not in love with him, but you got him for a solid price. Colin Kaepernick can't put up any of those stinkers like he did last year.
BilJ
Team hinges on two factors: Does Ray Rice become a top-12 back again, and can Rob Gronkowski stay healthy. Good value on both Gronk and Andre Johnson. If he spent the $8 he did on Jordan and the $8 and $4 Jeremy Maclin and Danny Amendola (or Nuke Hopkins) respectively, and used that money on say Pierre Garçon then this may have been the team to beat.

ATLSUTigers Shitheads
Can't believe I'm ranking a team with three wide receivers like he has this low, but I feel he's still missing one more piece. If he just had one more guy, he'd be top-3, IMO. Not big on Nick Foles. Frank Gore and Fred Jackson are old but reliable. They just aren't going to give you any monster games. We play a weekly game, you need big points. Marcellus Bennett is just as good of a flier type tight end as any of those 8-14 ranked guys. So no problem with that.
Noneless
This team has some solid PPR players. Joique Bell, Rashad Jennings, Julio Jones and Victor Cruz. Good core. Love Michael Floyd, and if Toby Gerhart becomes a top-20 back, you're in good shape. I like the LaDarius Green and Kelvin Benjamin cheap pick ups.
AirBorneJonny
Great core to build from. Needs to work the waiver wire. He also needs to hope RG3 gets hurt, or a Nick Foles flops -- just examples -- and is able to move Romo for depth. Big fan of Terrance Williams, and Cecil Shorts is not a bad No. 3. Heath Miller at tight end? Yuck.
1860 Pissed
If Andrew Luck takes that leap this year, this team can contend. The wide receiving core could produce big time. Michael Crabtree and Cordarrelle Patterson could both end up top-15 guys, then you pair them with Alshon Jeffrey and Vernon Davis, that's a good group. Don't like Bishop Sankey for $18 or Greg Jennings for $6. Should have combined those two and gotten yourself a solid No. 2.
CajunCrooks
He went running back heavy, grabbing Arian Foster, Le'Veon Bell, Ryan Matthews and Trent Richardson. Bell and Foster could catch a lot of balls, but I just don't know about the receivers. Keenan Allen I'm slightly nervous about, thinking he was touchdown dependent in the latter part of the year, and not even Julian Edelman's agent is convinced he catches 100 balls, or comes anywhere close, again. Maybe Sammy Watkins busts out, but I can't rank this team too because of the wideouts.
Abellsu
Don't get what he was trying to do at all. Spent $59 on Matt Forte -- next highest player was $56 -- and then a total of $19 on his kicker, defense and Justin Hunter. He has to have Hunter pop. He does have Peyton Manning, so along with Forte, he should still have a chance. It's going to take some managing, though.

ETA: I could not let Drizz get Charles and Forte! Do you guys know how close that was to happening?

Cool writeups. I might do rankings tomorrow, too.

I had Charles/Forte/Mega in 12 team PPR league last year. I did not win
But i understand your concern

Not really. The point remains the same that those two players don't guarantee anything.
Charles was the #1 RB -- Forte was #2. It's not like they can improve that substantially between last season and this season

We shall see. Either way, I will have fun.

I'm not knocking your pick of Forte. He's great.
I was just making the point that Forte and Charles don't lock up a championship

A random draft order was conducted on FFtoolbox to determine the waiver order, even though we haven't fully decided on it.
But waivers will be over shortly, so I thought better do this now before all hell breaks loose, and if we change to FAAB then we change to FAAB.
Everyone should have received an email, and you would have found this order.
The following draft order was randomly generated for your league:
1 - Libertarian
2 - BilJ
3 - 1860pissed
4 - Dav
5 - AtlantaLSU
6 - AtLSUFan
7 - Baseballkicker
8 - Abel
9 - Drizz
10 - MWG
11 - Noneless
12 - AirborbeJonny

I only regret not going after Gronk. I think that will end up being one of the best values of the whole draft.
That said...I'm loving my week 10 matchup

I like that my two running backs are on the same bye the same week, and then Rodgers and my big two WRs are on a bye the same week as well.
Most likely L's those two weeks, but it won't leave me scrambling in the other bye weeks.

playing me? Yeah week 10 I can go ahead and pencil in a loss
Posted on 8/18/14 at 8:36 am to MrWiseGuy
So is this just if we do rolling waivers? The other waivers is by record. I previously stated I didn't like awarding losing, now with number one waiver I second that!
I still vote for FAAB. It's the fairest way.
