Also, I didn't go zero RB, took guys high on my board early, filled needs later.

Keep hating on Larry, he'll just keep putting up WR1 numbers, so there's value there in that round.

Least Fav Pick - Dont really dig that trio of backs after Big Ben - Gio, Stewart, ivory. Guess 1 can hit though (i like that spiller steal late, tho)


I actually felt like I reached on Big Ben. I happened to make that pick when I was just leaving my job site with no sheets or notes in hand. His numbers weren't nearly as good without Marty Bryant in the lineup last year either. So its that vital I think that either Wheaton or Coates steps up or at least they can combine to have similar contributions or else the Steelers O will underwhelm this year IMO. I can't be sure about Big Ben's splits with and without Marty Bryant in there last year but there was some merit to it. I focused some on it when I could still play FanDuel.

I've owned Gio and Jeremy Hill the last few years. Gio in 2014 when Hill scored more points and Hill last year when Gio was more of the favored back mainly cause Hill was hyped up so much. So Bulldog probably hit the jackpot with Hill this year since I can never seem to pick the right Cincy RB. I think Ivory will make a ton of difference for the Jags but that might not mean much in fantasy points?? I've just always liked his running style even though it leads to injury. He's a solid short yardage guy and should help extend more drives for the Jags and definitely get the goal line carries. Stewart is getting up there but if the Panthers offense keeps rolling like last year he'll get his.

20.4 PPG first 8 games

14.6 PPG last 8 games


It's more about John Brown and Floyd eating into those targets. Both had better 2nd halves than Fitz

That 14 ppg should still crack top 25 WR

I'm pumped about Lockett and think I can easily get WR2 numbers from him. If not Shephard should be able to give some upside at the position. 8 spot was interesting and I was happy to have AP fall to me there

Never grab a qb early but In this format a Cam or Rodgers can win you the week. Was very close to grabbing Watkins there and play the Romo/Rivers/Palmer game which may have improved the look of my squad

Olsen was a no brainier with the wrs off the board

Will be pissed all season Gyno sniped me on Gordon

Olsen wouldve been WR18 with his numbers, so there is your WR2, essentially

I respect your opinion and feel no need to nitpick. Do appreciate the feedback.

Was starting to write up my own analysis, but got busy.

So is it a free for all now or do we keep any sort of waiver going to the season

Might make sense with the inevitable injuries coming and a first come first serve free agent pool

So it's pre-season rolling waivers?

Reverse order of the draft

Everyone needs to add their players first, then players will be set to waivers (if possible). If we can't set them to waivers, we can do a day or 2 period where waiver claims are submitted by email. Then everyone becomes a FA

Yea the everyone being a fa was what I was talking about. Thinking it should be longer waiver periods maybe coinciding with preseason games or something each week

This is a solid idea IMO.

Maybe freeze rosters now? Then open up rolling waivers starting with 12-bulldog down to 1-G$ after the week 3-4 of preseason. From then on it's rolling waiver period then Wed free-for-all throughout the rest of the pre-season and season? Or something similar, you get the gist.

I think we would be best served to freeze guys for a month

We will see if anyone objects, if not, we will do it

That works for me.

If bell can stay healthy and hill can duplicate his rookie year then I'm good with my backs. That's assuming Martin can be 2015 all over again.

My WR's are iffy but if Benjamin can live up to his hype last year, sanders QB can be consistent, and Edelman or Travis Benjamin can play decent and stay healthy then I'll be happy.

Winston needs 25 TD passing and at least 7-10 rushing TD.

Gates play decent or if Romo stays healthy rotten hoes off.

Legion of doom dominates


Then if lacy sucks, johnson can't produce, or Jennings can't produce, then I've got their backups-----Starks, C2K, or Perkins.

Couple of folks I was targeting that I didn't get

Josh Gordon
Deangelo
Fleener
AJ green (would have been my pick at 12)


On another note---- I hope foster can be relavent especially if he starts in the Dolphins back field.

Deangelo


I believe he'll start the first 4 games. Bell is unbelievable, but has a history of injuries, the last 2 season ending. Highly possible he burns one after practice and gets popped with another suspension.

Are you aware of Drew's history with TE's? He almost made Ben frickin Watson All Pro last year.
