Gunga Din 18 Posted August 30, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriots2994 43 Posted August 30, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunga Din 18 Posted October 8, 2011 (edited) 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. Well I made some improvements to my team or at least I hope they are. Drew Brees QB - NO Matt Cassel QB - KC After week one dropped Cassel and picked up Cam Newton. Darren McFadden RB - OAK Cedric Benson RB - CIN Thomas Jones RB - KC After week one I dropped Jones and picked up D. Sproles Mario Manningham WR - NYG Austin Collie WR - IND After week one I dropped Collie and picked up Henderson. Danny Amendola WR - STL After week two I dropped Amendola And picked up Dexter McCluster Jason Witten TE - DAL Robbie Gould K - CHI New York Jets DEF My receivers are still weak, but I'm 4 and 0 so far. Every week seems to be tougher. I may replace Henderson or Manningham in a couple of weeks, depending upon who is available.
