Most of you like fantasys. So those of you with fantasy football teams post your roster. Make sure you note how many teams are in the league.

12 team league

QB: Tom Brady/Jay Cutler (start 1)

RB: Giovani Bernard/Zac Stacy/Shane Vereen (start 2)

WR: Dez Bryant/Roddy White/T.Y. Hilton/Cecil Shorts III/Mike Williams (start 3)

TE: Jordan Reed/Tim Wright (start 1)

DEF: Carolina

K: Nate Freese

Got Brady in round 9 and then took Cutler in Round 12 as insurance. Bernard and Bryant were scraps claimed off the waiver wire as our league allows 2 keepers. I kept nobody from last year's 4-9 mess.

Go Lions!

But, there's only four in my league and it's mostly a test run for my wife and inlaw's to try it out.

8 team league or 10 team with a few clueless people?

10-team league

Just put in for Wes Welker on the waiver (I have the #1 spot, so it's a done deal) and dumping Reggie Wayne. I have no problem letting him ride the bench for 4 weeks.

Assuming it were a 12 team league you still got 6 first round picks on that roster... I don't think they're going to like it very much when you kill them each week. Also I don't see any scneario in which you ever bench Forte, Lacy, or Peterson unless there's a bye. No matter how good your WRs are.

E. Ellington? Andre ellington from Arizona? FYI Ridley almost got cut by NE. You'll like having Seattle and Cinci for defenses. Why on earth are you sitting on Prater? lol

10 team, and I draft like a fuckin champion, basically.

Whatever you do do not dump Reggie Wayne for him. Wayne was Luck's #1 WR until he got hurt last year. He's a great possession receiver pretty much guaranteed to get 8/80 every week. The only week you'll need Reed is the week Davis is on bye. Dump him for now and try to trade Wayne for another solid backup RB.

And you might want to scour the waiver wire weekly until SF gets healthy on D. They're missing 4 starters.

That's a nice lineup. I've got Ridley in the back too...

I understand he got suspended, but he's a kicker. Waive him until at least week 3 lol.

For real, I drafted Wes like round 9 or 10 thinking oh, that concussion will blow over, and then, boom, drug suspension. Fuck it, whatevs.

I like the Cinci D. They should be as good or better than last year and they were good last year. I have Carolina in both of my leagues.

You never bench your studs period. If they don't play well oh well. At least you didn't bench them when they scored 5TDs or something and then go why on earth did I ever think it was a good idea to bench Aaron Rodgers.

They were good, that's basically why I took them (and hawks were gone). Do you like my starting lineup for this week?

I actually got him fairly cheap relative to how much people were paying for players in the draft.

oooohhh i thought u were wanting him to put prater back in his line up, like "why are you sitting him on the bench"

I got you now, I waived him right away lol. I need QB advice btw, check my lineup

ncasolowork2 > macanamera 09/04/2014 at 14:26

0

I don't like Coulston or Garcon but that's personal bias. The only player you'd consider is Tate and he's never been anything remotely resembling a strong play. Tavon Austin is my wild card pick. Shaun Hill can throw a good deep ball. Austin is likely to be a feast or famine type of player.

ncasolowork2 > macanamera 09/04/2014 at 14:28

Manning is a #1. Bell and Nelson are both #2s. Davis, Vereen, and Garcon are all 4s. If I had to guess I'd say you picked 8th or so.

14 league team. I had 1st pick so it sucked having to wait 26 picks to make my 2nd and 3rd pick. I feel pretty happy with the top RB, top D/ST, and one of the top TE. If the rest of the guys can be at least consistent with mediocre points I'll be happy.

macanamera > ncasolowork2 09/04/2014 at 14:31

Actually, I picked 2nd.

ncasolowork2 > Mustafaluigi 09/04/2014 at 14:33

For a 14 team league Jeffery and Thomas never should have been there unless you're non-PPR. Some people are fans of Russell Wilson. I am not one of them. I'd try to grab another QB for McCluster before someone has a great game week 1 leaving you high and dry if you end up unhappy with Wilson at least giving you options. That said for a league of that size that's solid. Sproles will be good if McCoy gets hurt.

macanamera > macanamera 09/04/2014 at 14:33

Obviously I took Manning first, I took Jordy next because I had him last year and he did good things for me. Next came LeVeon, then Vereen, then Davis in 5 and Garcon in 6. I think I did pretty well. Sacrificed an elite RB for Manning, so we will see what happens tehre.

ncasolowork2 > macanamera 09/04/2014 at 14:34

not many people have the guts to leave a bunch of RB's out there. Then again with only 1 RB slot that might change things a bit.

At the end of last season I played my friend in Chicago, hence my stiff breeze team name.

Anyway, I like you drafted Dez Bryant, even though he is an asshole. I'm thinking I'll start Foles as my QB. I am also in a 12 person league. Pickings are slim! Especially when you draft 9 and then 16th :(

Round: 1
** (9) Wow, that is a stiff breeze - Arian Foster RB

Round: 2

** (16) Wow, that is a stiff breeze - Dez Bryant WR

Round: 3

** (33) Wow, that is a stiff breeze - Julius Thomas TE

Round: 4

** (40) Wow, that is a stiff breeze - Andre Ellington RB

Round: 5

** (57) Wow, that is a stiff breeze - Ray Rice RB

Round: 6

** (64) Wow, that is a stiff breeze - Nick Foles QB

Round: 7

** (81) Wow, that is a stiff breeze - Reggie Wayne WR

Round: 8

** (88) Wow, that is a stiff breeze - Sammy Watkins WR

Round: 9

** (105) Wow, that is a stiff breeze - Bengals D/ST D/ST

Round: 10

** (112) Wow, that is a stiff breeze - Chris Ivory RB

Round: 11

** (129) Wow, that is a stiff breeze - Darren McFadden RB

Round: 12

** (136) Wow, that is a stiff breeze - Andy Dalton QB

Round: 13

** (153) Wow, that is a stiff breeze - Adam Vinatieri K

Round: 14

** (160) Wow, that is a stiff breeze - Saints D/ST D/ST

Round: 15

** (177) Wow, that is a stiff breeze - Delanie Walker TE

Round: 16
** (184) Wow, that is a stiff breeze - Tre Mason RB

I'm a fan of Reggie Wayne and the Sammy Watkins pick is a nice wild card. Not a fan of a kicker in the 13th round. Vinatieri would have likely been there in the 16th. I technically had the 18th pick, and 22nd pick and 28th pick. Getting Bernard, Bryant, and Stacy is OK with me. I could have had AJ Green if I wanted, but I think the asshole has a better year.

What kind of injury insurance did you get for Gronk? Otherwise a nice solid team.

12 team which is oddly formatted into 3 divisions (I've never even heard of this)

First year with this team name, I'm hoping it brings luck, I'm really liking it - Mighty Montegos

Roundbadge > ncasolowork2 09/04/2014 at 14:47

Yeah....that was a serious consideration. Last year I had Greg Olsen, which was great. Not so much, this year...Dennis Pitta.

Forgot to mention...this is a keeper league. I've had Brady, Marshall, Gronk, AP and Beast Mode for the past 3 years.

ncasolowork2 > Roundbadge 09/04/2014 at 14:48

Pitta was hurt all of last year. No telling how good that insurance will be. He was highly regarded before he got hurt.

Roundbadge > ncasolowork2 09/04/2014 at 14:51

I had hoped to pick up Olsen again, but that didn't pan out. I wasn't thrilled about Pitta, but I knew he was pretty good before last year. That and hanging on to Gronk in the first place were my real gambles.

ncasolowork2 > MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner 09/04/2014 at 14:51

I'm in 3 divisions as well. I guess I have to ask then. Where are your 3rd-8th round picks? Trent Richardson? He played a full year in Indy and was the 35th ranked RB last year... the offensive line is just as bad or worse. Jason Witten? Ehh maybe, but I don't see anyone else there that I could have seen go in the early rounds.

ncasolowork2 > Roundbadge 09/04/2014 at 14:52

If Ertz is available pick him up. I organized my strategy around getting Ertz... then someone took him in the 10th round. I was not happy.

MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner > ncasolowork2 09/04/2014 at 14:55

I have a tendency to pick weird by getting a solid D and a solid K a lot earlier in the round (in between 3-8) because they can be consistent performers. It's a different strategy than most take, and I got fucking burned by it because of that a-hole prater getting suspended.

SOMEONE REMIND HIM HE'S JUST A GOD DAMN KICKER, KICKERS DONT GET SUSPENDED

Roundbadge > ncasolowork2 09/04/2014 at 14:56

He went fairly early in our draft. I think I had him queued and someone picked him up like 2 picks before me.

ncasolowork2 > Roundbadge 09/04/2014 at 14:57

I have Tim Wright on my bench right now. Brady makes bad people score a lot of points. Wright sounds like he might be good people. Should be interesting.

Yes I meant Andre, derp. He is third string for sure. Going to watch the first too see who starts vulturing TD's.

As mention, Prater suspended.

ncasolowork2 > Lumpy44, Proprietor Of Fine Gif 09/04/2014 at 15:04

no kicker is worth hanging on to lol. Not week 1 and 2 when you're trying to find those sleepers that none of the experts found that turn out to be the next Alfred Morris. Did you know Alfred Morris was drafted in like less than 1% of leagues his rookie year? You know what Matt Prater will do when he eventually comes back. You don't know who the next Alfred Morris is.

Lumpy44, Proprietor Of Fine Gif > ncasolowork2 09/04/2014 at 15:08

I'll see how this week goes with Prater, he will be good after Denver byes week. If I can find someone who impresses me more than a kicker that gets 13 points a game then I will switch.

ncasolowork2 > Lumpy44, Proprietor Of Fine Gif 09/04/2014 at 15:10

I plan on picking Prater up week 3 in my league. He's on waivers for now.

Yowen - not necessarily not spaghetti and meatballs > ncasolowork2 09/04/2014 at 15:11

0

Yeah, I wondered if I drafter a kicker too soon, others in my league had started drafting them, so that's why I did it, haha. It can be slim pickings in a 12+ person league. I'd like to do an 8 or 10 person league sometime.

Also Ray Rice better come out roaring after his 2 game suspension, I did NOT realize that was the case when I drafted him. Oh well.

As for Bryant, for all his shit talking, I do think he had a fairly good year last year and is not a bad pick.

As it stands now I am projected to win, but I know that those projections mean very little, lol.

Lumpy44, Proprietor Of Fine Gif > ncasolowork2 09/04/2014 at 15:13

Both leagues I did he was taken. Just realized Seattle and Cinci have the same bye week, fack!

Try and trade Seattle for Carolina's D. I don't want anything to do with the Seattle D this year with the added emphasis on contact beyond 5 yards and defensive holding.

ncasolowork2 > Yowen - not necessarily not spaghetti and meatballs 09/04/2014 at 15:16

0

lol... you clearly don't know what kind of season Ray Rice had last year.

Yes other than Matt Prater last year look at the point totals of all the other kickers. Then ask yourself why would you have drafted any of those particular kickers last year. If I had my way I wouldn't even draft a kicker. I'd then make some determination sometime before the first game and waive someone for one.

Yowen - not necessarily not spaghetti and meatballs > ncasolowork2 09/04/2014 at 15:25

Haha no, I don't spend a whole lot of time on football, except for the Lions (ouch, I know) and following some of my key fantasy players. So how was his year? From what I read it wasn't stellar, but not bad.

I had Jason Hanson one year ('12 I think), since the Lions resorted to kicking a lot that year I got a LOT of points from him, haha. But in general, I agree I should've drafted one of those last.

Lumpy44, Proprietor Of Fine Gif > ncasolowork2 09/04/2014 at 15:28

I did notice that in the pre-season but thinking of maybe trying to get an RB better than Ridley for Seattles D. No idea what to do on bye week though.

ncasolowork2 > Lumpy44, Proprietor Of Fine Gif 09/04/2014 at 15:33

0

that's easy. Find the team playing the raiders and pick them up. If not the raiders then pickup a team playing a crap team that week. I know some people who swap team defenses on a weekly basis. It works surprisingly well.

ncasolowork2 > Yowen - not necessarily not spaghetti and meatballs 09/04/2014 at 15:34

0

I took Nate Freese in both of my leagues. The Lions should move the ball a lot. He'll probably get a chance to kick a lot of Field goals because they're the lions

Yowen - not necessarily not spaghetti and meatballs > ncasolowork2 09/04/2014 at 15:38

0

They sure do move the ball a LOT, but it's moving it to the endzone that is a major problem for them. I can't believe that with a quarter back that throws the same yardage as the best of them that they manage to lose so many games, haha.

Lumpy44, Proprietor Of Fine Gif > ncasolowork2 09/04/2014 at 15:38

Ya, might be able to get down to one kicker that week too. Might be some waiver wire magic that week.

I wish we could but all trades are subject to the rest of the teams approval.

Mustafaluigi > ncasolowork2 09/04/2014 at 15:42

Its non-PPR. AP was my first pick, Jeffery and Thomas were my second and third pick (I had them back to back). I'm not the happiest with Wilson, he was my 4th pick but at that point I had missed most of the other 2nd tier QBs. I think it is better than what I could have picked up. There are a couple of QBs remaining on Waivers but unless Wilson gets hurt or has a huge Super Bowl Slump I'm gonna stick with him. I'm excited to see how Sproles does at Philly,

Picks:

1st. Peterson

2nd. Jeffery

3rd. Thomas

4th. Wilson

5th. Richardson

6th. Panthers

7th. Woodhead

8th. Wallace

9th. Sproles

10th. Nicks

11th. Benjamin

12th. Hartline

13th. McCluster

14th. Gould

15th. Tolbert

You mean you might be burned. You still don't know that either of your other options would have done better. You don't ever bench your studs. Remember the night Favre's dad died and he had a MNF game? He put up like 400yards and 4 TDs. Adopt the strategy to never play matchup games with your elite players and it is much easier to live with their lesser performances.

We had some serious bidding in the first 15 picks. I paid waaaaaaaay too much for Matt Forte. But Julius Jones?? He was worth every penny!!! If Stafford shows up tomorrow against the Giants, I have a real shot of breaking 160 points in Week 1.

Looks like you're set up for a huge week, too. 108 pts. and 2 of your marquee players still to go...

It's you and me next weekend, homey! Battle of the Michigan Opponauts!

We're both playing our defenses against our stars, too. SF def v. Marshall & Forte for me, Panthers def. v. Bell & Megatron for you. We both want to have our cake and eat it, too.
