12 team league with friends from college, there are a couple dumbes who drafted Cam Newton and Aaron Rodgers in the first round. Helped me load up on RBs and WRs early, feel pretty good about my team

QB: C Palmer (8), B Bortles (10)
RB: D Freeman (1), J Charles (3), TJ Yeldon (6), CJ Prosise (14), Johnson (15)
WR: A Robinson (2), J Edelman (4), M Jones (7), M Wheaton (9), T Boyd (11), D Green-Beckham (16)
TE: D Walker (5)
K: D Bailey (13)
D/ST: Carolina (12)

Normally don't pick up two QBs but I agree with most on here that Bortles will have a breakout year and he was just sitting at the top of the draft board for a solid round and a half

Bold: You could teach SportsGenius a thing or two haha

Overall good looking squad. I like the Wheaton pick in the 9th.

[Gh0st]

QB: Drew Brees / Andy Dalton
RB: Thomas Rawls / Giovanni Bernard
WR: Julio Jones / Brandin Cooks
Flex: Amari Cooper
TE: Zach Ertz
DEF: Carolina

Bench:
Snagged Christine Michael in case the gossip on Rawls is true
Rashad Jennings
Ted Ginn Jr
Phillip Dorsett
John Brown
Used my last pick on Paxton Lynch because it's a keeper league

PPR League as well which is why I took Gio.

[jmog]

Just got home from our draft in our money league that has been going strong for 20 years now. Deep bench, PPR 12 team.

TE-A. Gates
K-Bryant

E. Sanders
John Brown
Funchess
Dwayne Allen


Before anyone asks, I got those rbs due to our league having different keeper rules. Can keep 2 players as long as they were deafted after the 6th round. I got David really late last year as a flyer.

[jtk]

just did 2 drafts today. both leagues are total keeper leagues.

League 1, 10 teams.....

Won league #1 last year, and #2 won my entry fee back as i made the playoffs and had the highest scoring group of receivers.

Draft #2. This league has weird scoring. Typically all the scoring is from QBs and you really only score points from TDs and high yardage games for all players. Start 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 3 WR/TEs, K and D/ST.

QB: Newton (1), Rivers (2)
RB: Forte (5), Langford (7), Ivory (10), West (13)
WR/TE: Gronk (3), Cooks (4), Tate (6), Benjamin (8), Reed (9), Gordon (11), Gates (12)
K: Hauschka (14)
D/ST: Houston (15)

Probably was drinking too much while drafting. I meant to pick up Ware instead of West.. Problem is, each transaction you make in this league is $5 each. Fugggg...

Won 2 of my 3 leagues last year totaling $500 but thanks for the shoutout. Had my draft with my high school friends the other night. I had the 12th pick in the snake draft. You can keep up to 3 guys. They get drafted in the round you took them the year before, but if they are a repeat keeper they move to the first round.

QB: Roethlisberger(K4)
WR: Hopkins(1), Landry(3), Edelman(5), Gordon(6), Sanders(8)
RB: Forsett(9), Coleman(10), Ware(11), Starks(12), D.Johnson(K14)
TE: Gronkowski(K2), Eifert(7)
Def: Philly(13)

Took advantage of our IR spot for Eifert and added Tajae Sharpe as well. When Eifert comes off IR we have 2 weeks to remove him from our IR spot, so I'll consider trading him or keepking him stashed for a keeper next season

^ Notice how he didn't say he won in the league where he drafted them in the 3rd round.

1, didn't draft them in the 3rd round. 2. It was that league. This was from 2 drafts ago though I believe but honestly don't remember.

[Jhubbs77]

Biggest league finally had draft end. 12 team ppr league

QB: Russell Wilson, Brock Osweiler
RB: Devonta Freeman, Doug Martin, Duke Johnson, Christine Michael, CJ Spiller
WR: AJ Green, Dez Bryant, Larry Fitzgerald, Vincent Jackson, Tyler Boyd, Chris Hogan, Pharoh Cooper
TE: Julius Thomas, Jared Cook
K: Justin Tucker
Def: Cincinnati

Feel in pretty good shape with the starters. Thinking one of either Thomas or Cook will pan out this year

[Crusaders]

Missed my draft this year. Ended up with this:

QB: Ben Roethlisberger
HB: Devonta Freeman, David Johnson, Derrick Henry, Bilal Powell, Arian Foster, DeAngelo Williams
WR: Sammy Watkins, Golden Tate, Donte Moncrief, Allen Hurns, Steve Smith Sr.
TE: Jordan Reed, Antonio Gates
DEF: Jets
K: Dan Bailey


I have no idea why the computer thought I needed Bilal Powell instead of a backup QB.

[Chop Stix]

10 team league, Standard format on ESPN

QB: Russell Wilson, Andy Dalton
RB: Lesean McCoy, Mark Ingram, TJ Yeldon, Derrick Henry, Alfred Morris
WR: Odell Beckham, Eric Decker, Michael Crabtree, Stefon Diggs, Corey Coleman
TE: Travis Kelce, Zach Miller
D/ST: Green Bay
K: Graham Gano

My bad, 2nd round.

[Bballer05]

P. Rivers didn't throw a TD in 8 quarters vs the Chiefs last year.

I have Keenan Allen.

would you sit K Allen for any of these 3 guys:

DeSean Jackson
Marvin Jones
Tyler Lockett

[jtk]

yes.....marvin jones

Clearly you are playing with some remedial competition if you can win a league taking Carolina D\ST in the 5th round.

I'd stick with Allen.

Just picked up Matt Ryan (surprisingly went undrafted and unclaimed after 2 weeks) and am not sure if I should start him over Russell Wilson this week.

Leaning towards Ryan, but still see a lot of potential in Wilson at home against a Niners defense that got manhandled last week.

I'd probably go Matt Ryan, but could see Pete Carroll wanting to run up the score on a division rival after the fines that were handed to him and the team this week.

I have one league where my team is absolutely stacked, and one where my team is extremely mediocre. Still trying to decide if Blake Bortles will bounce back, or if it's time for him to be my backup QB for awhile.

This is my team in a 8 team league

QB Roethlisberger
RB Gurley
RB Forte
WR Hopkins
WR Cooper
TE Ebron
Flex T Benjamin
Flew Crowell
Def Texans
K Gano

Bench
QB Carr
RB Bell
RB D Martin
RB Riddick
WR Landry
WR Wallace

[GoBucks82]

Who's your other QB in the Bortles league?

[Crusaders]

The Saints' secondary gave up 319 to Carr and 368 to Manning, and Seattle's offense has scored 15 points in two weeks against Miami and LA. I'd probably play Ryan assuming Jones is healthy.

[Chop Stix]

Who would you flex this week out of Crabtree, Decker, and Jamison Crowder? Non PPR league. I think Crabtree is most likely to accumulate yardage but probably isn't the biggest TD threat of the 3.

thought i heard Decker was banged up.

i like Crabtree most of the 3. if DJax (questionable) doesn't play for Wash, then probably go Crowder.

[Crusaders]

Should I start Dak or Big Ben?

[Michael Bluth]

Fat Ben if he's playing

[Michael Bluth]

Can't wait to see Zeke run for 300 on the Browns

[Gh0st]

I would start Dak against the Browns.

[Bballer05]

if Ben does play, and that's still an IF, history says to bench him coming off an injury (and playing AWAY, which the numbers for him between home and away are quite staggering)

i'd go with Dak.

[afwpatfire]

Browns defense......Hello!!
