Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

[Gunslinger08]

Final draft today. Pick 8 out of 10. I'm fairly happy with this one.

QB - Russell Wilson
WR - Larry Fitzgerald
WR - Randall Cobb
RB - Jamaal Charles
RB - Marshawn Lynch
TE - Tony Gonzalez
W/R - Danny Amendola
K - Matt Prater
DEF - St. Louis

BN - Daryl Richardson
BN - TY Hilton
BN - Josh Gordon
BN - Stevie Johnson
BN - Carson Palmer

 

[dougp]

I just don't see him getting that many carries. I don't see him doing that well either. But 30 times 3.6 will be 100 ypg.

Guy played 15 games last year with 950 yards, 11 rushing TDs. That's almost 18 carries a game ...

 

[Gunslinger08]

Draft #5 - 8/12 Pick (the worst)

QB - Matthew Stafford
RB - Trent Richardson
RB - Steven Jackson
WR - Mike Wallace
WR - Anquan Boldin
TE - Martellus Bennett
FLEX - David Wilson
D/ST - Seattle
K - Greg Zeurlein

BN - San Francisco
BN - Lance Moore
BN - Bryce Brown
BN - Vincent Brown
BN - Santana Moss
BN - Josh Freeman
BN - Ed Dickson

Yeah, 4-8 in a 12 man is tough. David Wilson could end up being a pretty good pick. You're looking good on RB, but weak on WR. Why'd you take 2 of the top 3 defenses?

42 - QB - Colin Kaepernick

82 - RB - Ben Tate
99 - TE - Martellius Bennett
102 - K - Justin Tucker
119 - DEF - Rams

Do you start 2 QBs in your league? Also, why 2 kickers and 2 defenses?

That's very weird. Never seen a league that requires specific bench positions.

I wouldn't know. This is my first time playing FF, so I'm not really up on a lot of the rule specifics for different systems. Our commissioner has run the league for 6-7 years now, and it seems to have little turnover. I am fine with it.

BTW, feel free to rate.

With those drafting rules, your league may also have some weird scoring system.

QB - Both of yours are top 10. Good options.
WR - Fitz could have a good year if Palmer can play well. Amendola and Garçon have a lot of upside.
RB - Who was drafted before AP? Miller needs to work out well or Foster needs to be injured for you to have good RB2 production.
TE - Graham is the best.
K - It's a kicker. The top 20 all average about the same.
DEF - St. Louis is ranked pretty high.

Overall, I think you did pretty well, especially for your first draft ever. I would have taken 1 QB early and a better RB in one of those spots, but I think you'll have a pretty successful season.

I have confidence in Palmer. I mean he had 22 TDs last year for the Raiders. This is why I went with Fitzgerald as my #1 receiver. First pick overall was Aaron Rodgers.

Scoring is pretty normal based off other rules I looked at, except 6 points for QB TD, instead of 4 in some rules.

 

[Adrenaline]

Guy played 15 games last year with 950 yards, 11 rushing TDs. That's almost 18 carries a game ...

18 carries is not even close to 30. 63.3 ypg average is mediocre as well. I don't see how he ranks where he does. I do not value him as high as he is being placed. I would not spend a first round pick on him in a ten team league.

 

[MetalMat]

12 Team "PPR" league. I actually do not like the weird scoring and roster setup of this league and the only reason I joined back is because I won the league last year. I mean look at these rules:

1 point per reception
Passing Touchdown: 5 pts, Interceptions: -2 pts, 25 passing yards per point
Rush Touchdown: 6 pts, 15 Rushing Yards per point
Reception Touchdown: 6 pts, 30 Reception Yards per point
Roster: 1 x QB, 2 x RB, 3 x W/TE, 1 x K, 1 x DST, 4 Bench spots (yuck)


QB: Aaron Rodgers
RB: Trent Richardson, Frank Gore
W/TE: Roddy White, Tony Gonzalez, Steve Smith
Bench: Chris Ivory, Vincent Brown, Mike Williams, Mark Ingram
DST: Steelers
K: Dan Bailey

Not a whole lot to say, teams in 8 team leagues tend to look pretty good (for obvious reasons).

I do like your bench quite a bit though there is not much of a reason to draft a backup QB for Rodgers, especially in an 8 team league.

 

[Imported]

Helped my new at fantasy football brother with his company's draft.

1. (3) CJ Spiller RB
2. (18 ) Aaron Rodgers QB
3. (23) Stevan Ridley RB
4. (38 ) Roddy White WR
5. (43) DeMarco Murray RB
6. (58 ) Reggie Wayne WR
7. (63) Darren Sproles RB
8. (78 ) Pierre Garcon WR
9. (83) Greg Olsen TE
10. (98 ) Montee Ball RB
11. (103) Josh Gordon WR
12. (118 ) Michael Vick QB
13. (123) Bryce Brown RB
14. (138 ) Washington DEF
15. (143) Justin Tucker K

There were a few 49er homers that picked players way too early.. like Kaep 9 overall.

 

[leeland]

I got the second pick out of 12...non-ppr and 1 point per 10 yards (rushing / receiving).

Do I go Martin, Macoy, Spiller, or Charles?

Initially thought Martin, but as I draw closer my mind started playin tricks on me


Any insight is appreciated.

Danke!

Total crapshoot. I have little faith in Spiller staying healthy over the course of the season. He does not have the body of an every down back. Charles is a major health risk as well and massively wild scorer. Some weeks he'll have 2 points. Other weeks 20. There is no consistency. Martin was also a wild scorer but started settling in towards the end of the season and he has uncontested touches. McCoy's use is unknown at this point although all signs point to more rushing touches for him.

My gut leans toward Martin as the most upside for age, health and known commodity as an uncontested RB. No goaline hawking by other RB's, excellent Oline in front of him, and he's great out of the backfield for receptions. Of course I have him in two different leagues so that means he'll have a high ankle sprain in week three and be out for 2 months.

 

[MisterJackson]

I'm in a NON PPR ESPN league. Pretty much standard rules.

Eric Decker is my weakest WR. I have a chance to pick up Anquan Boldin off Waivers. Would any of you drop Decker for Boldin?

I know Boldin has never been a star WR, but he's set to be Kapernicks main target this year, and he tore it up towards the end of last year with the Ravens.

I like Decker, but he's out there with an awful lot of other juicy targets for Manning.

 

[vi edit]

I know Boldin has never been a star WR, but he's set to be Kapernicks main target this year, and he tore it up towards the end of last year with the Ravens.

He was a STUD in Arizona for a few years opposite Fitzgerald. He had a couple 1000+ yard and nearly 10TD seasons there. He's not that guy anymore though. He was never a fast guy, just fearless and really freaking strong.

Naaaa. Quinton Patton is going to be Kapperpickle's #1. (Just picked up Quinton Patton, LOL)
