Left money sitting on the table which I've really never done. And 3 QB's was excessive. Still like my team, though.

[rawaction]

How many teams? Your TEs and WRs aren't that great, but should be good enough since you have possibly the highest scoring RB and QB, and 2 of your WRs are probably at the back of the top 10 at their position. Love Ellington and Bell as your 2-3 RBs. Don't like the NFC East WRs though. Worry about Jackson with Garcon a 100-catch type on the same team.

[WrigleyField 22]

10 Teams. I was a little worried about Jackson too so hopefully I don't regret not keeping one of my RBs instead (could have kept Bush, Spiller, or Vereen, all for around Market value).

Not terrible, not great though. Looks like a 4th-8th place team on paper. Lot of dependence on young players to step up in their 1st-3rd years (Bell, Allen, Floyd, Sankey, West).

3 QB's that are good bets to finish in the top 10 or 12 that their position. I would almost look to trade Brees for a Calvin Johnson or Dez Bryant if possible. I would be more than comfortable rolling with Ryan and Romo. Or try to package Romo/Brown, Ryan/Jeffery, etc for a top tier WR.

Seem to be really solid everywhere except TE. Not sold on Olson. If Tim Wright is still available, he might be a good one to pick up. Could put up great numbers in Aaron Hernandez's old role in NE.

[weis21]

10 team, PPR league. You could keep two keepers as long as they weren't drafted in the first 3 rounds the previous year. You lose a round above where said keeper was taken. I inherited a team and kept Ben Tate (6th rd forfeit) and Andre Ellington (last round forfeit (waiver pickup in 2013)).

I won't look to consolidate QB at first but it's certainly possible if things go well. I really like the certainty of Brees so I don't want to trade him yet. In fact Romo and Ryan I really just got as potential keeper plays even if they never start outside of Bree's bye week.

 

This is also the first time I ever spent big on D but I had to much cash to not justify splurging.

Not bad. I don't love your top RBs but do like Ellington. Lynch I'm definitely worried about.

Thanks! Yeah, there's a lot of "boom or bust" going on with my RB but my hands were tied with some of the keepers being gone coupled with my draft position. I really want to handcuff lynch and foster but I wasn't able to secure their backups in the draft. I didn't anticipate them going so quickly to FF teams who hadn't draft the NFL team's #1 RB.

I'm a fan of both teams there, especially the first one. Do you only start 1 RB though? I wanted to grab Gronk, Sanders and Vereen for my team but only pulled off 1.

QB kills me in this league, 6 pt passing TD's. I've won once in 3 years but have been knocked out of the playoffs the other 2 with my QB putting up around 10.

Haven't done 10 teams in a while so not sure how deep other teams are. My only concerns are if Ryan has an injury to Julio Jones again or if Rivers has an injury to Keenan Allen. Both could be guys that put up big numbers or you could get 2013 Ryan and 2012 Rivers.

 

Also a lot of young RBs, but between Bernard, Ellington and Stacy you should be able to get 1 stud and 1 decent RB, though I'd like this group a lot better in PPR.

[rawaction]

Yeah, only 1 RB. Gronk was my 6th round keeper. I didn't really want Sanders, but that was the day after Welker's concussion and the WR group had been picked over badly. I reached for Vereen in the very early 3rd, gambling that he stays healthy and gets to 70-80 catches and takes some carries away from Ridley.

[Guest]

Early reports sound bad on McFadden, but MJD isn't a great bet either. Pretty good team, IMO.

 

Yeah, McFadden was a panic pick after I realized that all 3 of my RBs have week 4 byes(this was before I got Greene). McFadden's probably the first guy to go via waivers if a RB option presents itself.

 

Haven't done 10 teams in a while so not sure how deep other teams are. My only concerns are if Ryan has an injury to Julio Jones again or if Rivers has an injury to Keenan Allen. Both could be guys that put up big numbers or you could get 2013 Ryan and 2012 Rivers.

Hoping that having both means that I'm set with one of them, it might make for some frustration in setting lineups until that sorts itself out though. Funny, I hadn't thought about the youth at RB. You're right, didn't have a ton of options since Stacy was a keeper and most quality RBs were kept too.

I like this team quite a bit. I would definitely look to pounce in QBs in the waiver wire. With 6pt TDS I think it actually lessens the difference to a certain extent. But the rest if the team is solid enough there.

I think Olsen could be quite good this year, for a mid to low tier TE. He'll almost certainly be Cam's #1 option, but I may take a look at Tim Wright - that's not a bad idea at all.

So yahoo! sends me an email grading my draft (well, their friends at "automated insights"). They said I did a pretty shitty job and gave me a C-. Then they urged me to click on the "full report card". That was a mistake. They continued to tell me how, if I won the league, I'd be "coach of the year", etc. etc. etc. Then proceeded to say they expected me to go 1-13 on the year. Ouch.

 

I have to wonder how much me not drafting a defense at all factored into this "report card". That being said, it wouldn't surprise me if this team was not anything special. But, I *think* there is enough talent there to surprise and contend if I catch a few breaks.
