Ok here's another one. One of my main backs Trent Richardson may be limited this first week (maybe more), do i play David Wilson or Jacquiz Rogers instead?

 

[lupi]

just checked the board, 5 QBs went in first 2 rounds, I snagged romo in the 11th, he was the 10th QB taken.

Jordy Nelson was the 3rd WR taken ...

just means I have a good shot at another yahoo trophy on my shelf

and I was pretty happy to have both Johnsons (wr) in my atot league.

Foster at 5, Graham at 29, and Eli at 68? For a 12 team league? I'd say a championship is likely in your grasp. That's a decent team with good depth at most positions for a 12 team league.

"Hi guys I just drafted against morons do you think I'll win?"

Wait and see about Richardson. Any guys on the waiver wire that you can play? Lynch's backup maybe?

Not liking the survivor pool this week. Try to go first 4 weeks or so by picking lesser teams so that after that I can go on a streak with the playoff bound ones. Was looking at minnesota and seattle, but with lynch probably out that doesn't look good and still unsure enough about the vikings w/o ap.

alot of the guys in my survivor pool went with houston . I was thinking about picking seattle, but instead just went with the eagles

[Aharami]

Shonnn Greene or Santonio Holmes?

QB Aaron Rodgers
RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis
RB Pierre Thomas
WR Roddy White
WR Steve Smith
TE Jared Cook
FLEX Santonio Holmes
D/ST Texans D/ST
K Stephen Gostkowski

Bench Willis McGahee, Den RB
Bench Jermichael Finley, GB TE
Bench Shonn Greene, NYJ RB
Bench Martellus Bennett, NYG TE
Bench Joe Flacco, Bal QB
Bench Leonard Hankerson, Wsh WR

 

[vi edit]

That's like asking if I want to be shot in the hand or the foot. In this case, I take foot and say start Greene. RB's get guaranteed touches. WR's don't.

haha that gave me a hearty laugh. Yea, I should have drafted better this year. But with a 12 team league, there are no quality players left

 

[crownjules]

Spacejamz, you obviously have a Baltimore homer in there picking Flacco, Ravens D/ST, and Torrey Smith for their first three picks.

 

[spacejamz]

anyone not starting Hakeem Nicks tonite??? 95% probable but has barely practiced this year...

You better start him

Here's my team, my first auction draft. I think I did "ok", 14 man league and the teams seem pretty balanced. Two QB slots. I've got MJD's backup, I'm tempted to play them both as that seems pretty iffy. Also notice the W/R/T slot. So basically I'm torn on my RB3 on who to play. I've got a solid bench IMHO. Biggest mistake was probably Donald Driver, but pickings were getting slim and he's always hit or miss. I didn't want to grab MJD, but felt I had to at the time as I always target a top 5 RB. My QBs aren't great, but they are reliably consistent.

Hell, with my RBs I'm tempted to bench MJD.

QB
Matt Ryan
QB
Joe Flacco (Bal - QB)
RB
Maurice Jones-Drew (Jac - RB)

Jamaal Charles (KC - RB)
W/T
Julio Jones(Atl - WR)

Hakeem Nicks (NYG - WR)

Donald Driver (GB - WR)
W/R/T
Beanie Wells (Ari - RB)
BN
Matt Schaub (Hou - QB)

Robert Meachem (SD - WR)
BN
Rashad Jennings (Jac - RB)
BN
Michael Bush (Chi - RB)

[meltdown75]

thanks man, i found the thread and made my pick for tonight. cheers

 

[tontod]

Should I start DHB (vs. SD), or Tony Gonzalez (vs. KC) ? This is a non-PPR league and for a WR/TE flex spot.

 

[slayer202]

Sunday sunday sunday sunday sunday!

Finally, something we can agree on. But I'm sure you'll find a way to flame me for it anyway.

 

[brainhulk]

Keep dem starters healthy today everyone! Wooohooo

 

[spidey07]

Well I'm making the call. Sitting MJD and putting Rasheed Jennings in his place. Jennings gets the start, but MJD will probably see less touches. We'll see if I'm a fool, or making the correct call.

Don't bench studs though, right? Looks like I'm going to do it.

 

[Bibble]

I am ready for some football!

I have 3 similarly ranked WRs and need to pick one: Nate Washington (v NE), Lance Moore (v Was), or Anquan Boldin (v Cin).

PPR league. Yahoo says Boldin is being started in 33% of leagues to Moore's 22% and Washington's 18%, but the Yahoo editors have Washington ranked highest, slightly higher than the other two. What do you guys think?

 

[leeland]

Going to the Packer game and have to leave in a bit...

Need some advice...

In two leagues I got Foster...

Should I start Foster or Kevin Smith PPR league
Should I start Foster or Hillis NON-ppr league?
