Update: Dropped Steve Smith for Kyle Orton because of his trade value after a few weeks. Smith won't be in till October at least and I think DJax & Maclin will be above him on the depth chart. Just not sure he can be worth a start with McCoy, DJax, & Maclin stealing receptions.
Benson will be on his bye week seven
and miss week 8 in jail.
I would wait until closer to that time.
There might be a real good back
dropped by an impatient owner by then.
I've seen it happen in years past.
Basically you have a pretty strong team.
-
Considering 14 teams X 16 players,
that's a lot of players.
I think you did great with your
QB and receiving corps.
The rest will have to be seen.

QB situation is pretty solid-not sure how Cassel will do this season with a tougher schedule but he might be a solid backup if he repeats last season. McFadden/Benson aren't top 5 RB's but I see McFadden having a good year as long as he stays healthy and doesn't lose a lot of carries to Bush. I have Benson as my WR/RB behind Michael Turner & Ahmad Bradshaw but he might not be a bad 2nd RB. The Bengals very well could have to rely on him a lot with Dalton starting this year. I'm not too high on Thomas Jones this year. He will go down in carries. I'd keep him and then pick up somebody who emerges. I also don't have a look at who's available for pickup-I might drop him for somebody. Manningham will emerge as a #1 reciever with Smith gone. Collie will be productive if he doesn't get concussions. Amendola is a wildcard. There's always a few WR's that emerge so you could pick one up over the least productive WR you have. Witten at TE is great, especially with Romo back. Gould is good for kicker. He'll be kicking a lot of FG's against GB and probably DET, and that's 4 games he could be very solid. Jets D is nice but I would have gone with a team who consistently puts up good fantasy points-Steelers, Packers, Patriots, Cardinals (might have been a fluke last year but not a bad idea). Overall not bad draft but not elite either.
Cassel was what was avail at the time.
If Brees doesn't get hurt or go to shit week 11
is the only time I will need him.
( too bad he's playing NE that week ).
Thomas Jones will only be used to
replace Benson week 7 ( he plays Oak ).
Week 8 I will have Bensen (in jail),
McFadden, the kicker and DEF on Bye week.
I will try to use that week for add/drops/trades etc
that are necessary so the -10 point price for each
won't be such a killer. Usually injuries blow
my season plan out of the water early.
Still I did come in second last year.
Thank you for your time and analysis, Patriots 2994.

Start QB 2_RB 2_WR TE K DEF
12 teams PPR starters and 3 bench
every add/drop or trade = -10 points the week of the transaction.
I had 4th pick.
Drew Brees QB - NO
Matt Cassel QB - KC
Darren McFadden RB - OAK
Cedric Benson RB - CIN
Thomas Jones RB - KC
Mario Manningham WR - NYG
Austin Collie WR - IND
Danny Amendola WR - STL
Jason Witten TE - DAL
Robbie Gould K - CHI
New York Jets DEF
Could have done better but it moved really fast.
As usual WR ius my weakest spot, I believe.
All comments welcomed.

Sensitive ? I'm not I just found it funny how you backed off from an argument or did not respond to a post that question your top ten.
I don't argue.
I come here to gather information
from those that spend many more hours
in statistical analysis
than I have available.
It appeared I was getting a very narrow
opinion. I expressed mine.
I got lots of descent but little
useful information.
My fantasy draft begins
in less than two hours.
So I have all the expert opinion
I'll be getting here this year.
I just wish the response had centered
more on your football reasoning
than your opinion of my character.
Thank you.

You quoted HIS post regarding it NOT being spoon feeding but went on to agree about it being spoon feeding, sense it makes none.
I quoted his noticing I had ignored him.
The rest of the outraged gibberish
wasn't pertinent.
-
Yeah kinda like that,
except, no-one called me ginger,
or pointed, or laughed, or,,,
Alright there was that once at school
when the cheer leading squad
pantsed me and did their
playing and measuring thing !!!
But I still got three phone numbers.
I'm not Ginger !!!

Yea, I get the two required RBs then load up on WRs (while somewhere getting another RB to warm my bench until the others' byes). I find most of my stud RBs in FA, haha. Always have so I've twisted my draft toward that.
This is all really great stuff
except the trading part.
In my league it costs you
10 points the week you trade.
Thus 105 points become 95.
If you have 2 players out in one week,
you spend twenty points to replace them.
Or accept 0 points from them.
WE have eight active players
and a three player bench.
Every add/drop or trade being
10 points in this weeks game and
overall season score you have to
closely appraise every move.
As for the picks above, I like them. I know this board is very pro-Freeman, but there's a good chance he goes into that sophomore slump. May want to keep your eyes open on the QB lines just in case. I really like the receiving squad. It may be powerful enough to counter the running weakness. From what I continue to hear, this year will be more pass-friendly so this may just have ended up perfectly. And was there not a better defense available? Eagles may end up being great trade bait, especially if your RBs don't deliver to your liking.

Red.
A lighter red now that
some lighter hairs are
mixed in. It happens in time.

It's not spoon feeding him the ball if the guy dominates every corner that tries to cover him. I couldn't help but notice you ignoring my post.
I'm sorry but
with several identical posts
I usually answer one or none.
If I knew you were sensitive
to responses in a general nature
I would have reverted
to my non-responsive mode.

I'd have to disagree. Fitz has great route running and hands, that's why they throw the ball his way. I wouldn't consider it "spoon feeding" I would just consider him such a dominant player it's hard to not throw his way. If he actually had a reliable QB he'd be having 1400+ yards and 12+ TD seasons almost every year. His stats aren't elevated imo, the last 2 seasons don't represent his true dominance.
Now I will agree Fitz
would be much better statistically
and performance wise, if they didn't
feel the QB had to spoon feed him.
The defenses pick up on that attitude.
With a QB like Manning, or Brees
where would he be today.
He is great but
not as great as he should be.
I think I misread this thread,
I thought it was predictive in nature,
not solely a historical analysis thread.
Whether my guess is as good as yours
will be answered this year,
not last year.

Right now I'm at 260
down from 280 in June.

Would you fucking post normal? I'm not going to read a post that looks like a damn poem.
For me this is normal.
I post on several sites,
each with it's own format restrictions.
As far as looking like a poem,
the thought never crossed my mind.
I've never read much poetry,
and none on the internet.
I came here to glean
the expert knowledge here,
not to pontificate my radical opinions.
Although the info I gather here
is used in my reasoning process.
So if it looks like a poem,
feel free to ignore it.
It will contain nothing illuminating.
-
Razorstar both of your compiled lists
seem like a fair assessment of the votes.
I think much of the criticism I received
was because I was considered
a radical newbie who didn't fight for
his opinion the way others would have.
I've been a member a long time.
I just don't argue a lot, you'll notice
my low posting numbers. Once I post, I
get on with my life, instead of hanging
on the edge of my chair, barbs at the ready.
Since my thought processes used to arrive
at my list varied so much from others,
how could I possibly explain so they
could understand.
Statistics don't always
tell the whole story.
Austin collie had 6 games before his first
concussion last year. Along with two more
in the other three games he played.
In one game he was only involved in the
play he was hurt in.
As I said Fitz still needs someone
to reliably get him the ball.
Insults are something people use
to look smart when they are confused.

Austin Collie? Larry Fitzgerald at #7? WHAT?
My opinion not yours obviously.
I always like to see a little variety
instead of xerox copy after copy.
For playing time last year
Austin Collie was the best WR.
If he can keep from getting
concussions this year, he could be
the best again. Fitz still needs
a reliable arm to get him the ball.
