Just got done drafting my goon league while I was also simultaneously bartending a busy bar. 12 man league, 0.5 PPR. QB: Nick Foles WR: Calvin Johnson WR: Jordy Nelson RB: Zac Stacy RB: Ryan Mathews TE: Kyle Rudolph FLEX: Emmanuel Sanders K: whatever DEF: Arizona BN: Jeremy Hill BN: Steven Ridley BN: Riley Cooper BN: Danny Woodhead BN: Chris Ivory BN: Jonathan Stewart Not tooooo bad, right? I like having Rudolph, but I was trying to pick Fred Jackson instead, I was just busy with somebody at the bar. Oh well. I'm quadruple dipping in Nick Foles in all 4 of my leagues this year.

This draft started at 10:30pm yesterday so after a 3 day weekend I knew I wouldn't be able to make it through the entire thing, I stayed up long enough to get all my starters minus QB but set up my preferences before going to bed. It's yahoo, default scoring... only caveat being 2RB/3WR/TE and no flex. I picked 7th and its a 12 team league: I feel WR is kinda weak, but RB is pretty solid since I got both Gio and Hill and Moreno seems like he's going to be getting more touches. I didn't realize there was no Flex until this morning (it became 2nd nature, I just always assume its there ) so holding Kelce seems sort of pointless outside of him having a big first 2 weeks and being able to squeeze a WR out of him.

Murphy Brownback posted:14 person standard scoring yahoo league. I'm kind of happy but at the same time concerned about my RBs. Here is what I did: I mean, your starters are fine but you have literally no RB bench. You normally want to play an RB as a flex, so you right now have no one to cover in case of injury or bye. You'll need to get on the waiver wire in week one and try to find SOMEONE to fill that role. Or at least pick up someone's handcuff and pray.

Had my draft over the weekend for the most competitive league I'm in, every year. 10 teams, PPR, and everyone pretty much knows what they're doing. Which means it didn't go at all like any of my mocks, but whatever. I had first pick overall. I feel like my starters are pretty well balanced, but I don't like how, if Charles goes down, I'm starting Shane Vereen as my RB1.

Had my draft Sunday. Had to do it from my phone since I was out. 10 team league, standard scoring, 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, Flex, TE, D/ST, and K. I got to draft first, which I always consider a blessing and a curse. I think my starting lineup is ok, WR might be a little weak. QB Andrew Luck, Ind QB RB Adrian Peterson, Min RB RB Montee Ball, Den RB WR Julio Jones, Atl WR WR Jeremy Maclin, Phi WR TE Vernon Davis, SF TE FLEX Trent Richardson, Ind RB D/ST Rams D/ST D/ST K Blair Walsh, Min K Bench Eric Decker, NYJ WR Bench Bishop Sankey, Ten RB Bench Lamar Miller, Mia RB Bench Matt Ryan, Atl QB Bench Mike Evans, TB WR Bench Rueben Randle, NYG WR Bench Andre Williams, NYG RB

So I had to autodraft in my work league (8 teams, 2RB 3WR no flex). I put all the kickers and defenses on do not draft and ended up with... this: 1. (1) LeSean McCoy (Phi - RB) 2. (16) Giovani Bernard (Cin - RB) 3. (17) Peyton Manning (Den - QB) 4. (32) Roddy White (Atl - WR) 5. (33) Julius Thomas (Den - TE) 6. (48) Michael Crabtree (SF - WR) 7. (49) Torrey Smith (Bal - WR) 8. (64) C.J. Spiller (Buf - RB) 9. (65) Shane Vereen (NE - RB) 10. (80) Nick Foles (Phi - QB) 11. (81) Jeremy Maclin (Phi - WR) 12. (96) Lamar Miller (Mia - RB) 13. (97) Ray Rice (Bal - RB) 14. (112) Maurice Jones-Drew (Oak - RB) 15. (113) Pierre Thomas (NO - RB) What the gently caress do I do from here.

I finally had my draft in my 16 team league that I typically play the spoiler in. Last year I got burned with a heavy investment in Spiller in the first round (was a keeper from 2012) but this year I was able to get I think a pretty good team at least immediately post draft. 16 team, 1QB, 1RB, 1RB/WR, 2WR, 1TE, 1Flex, K, DST. 1ppr and I believe 1pt/25retyds or something. I know I'm weak at WR but I'm banking on the PPR making up for that a bit. I'm huge on Spiller, and I believe in TRich. I drafted 9th overall and it was a total redraft, no keepers. Without further ado:

10-team, .5 PPR. Cleaned up. (Fleaflicker's rankings are the worst I've ever seen btw) QB: Andrew Luck, Alex Smith RB: Adrian Peterson, LeVeon Bell, Rashad Jennings, Jeremy Hill, Bernard Pierce WR: Brandon Marshall, Vincent Jackson, Victor Cruz, Michael Floyd, Kelvin Benjamin, Justin Hunter TE: Dennis Pitta PK: Blair Walsh TD: New England Patriots Only thing I don't like is my RB depth behind Jennings. Some dude kept autodrafting runningbacks (He had 6 vs. 2 (!) receivers at one point), so my depth there isn't as strong as I'd like it to be. Got suckered into drafting Tinyhands late because my buddies kept taking backup quarterbacks, which made the QB depth on the waiver wire pretty weak. The TE depth on the waiver wire is excellent, though.

Leperflesh posted:Goon league, 14 teams, 1 PPR, otherwise very close to ESPN standard scoring, snake draft, 7 bench spots instead of the usual 6. I picked 5th. Was hoping to get any comments at all about this. I'm pretty nervous about my WR situation, and actually even though my starting RBs are really high on beersheets (which is why I picked them), reading up about them some of these guys do not seem like total locks. Charles is coming off an injury, Ball is solid and I'm not worried about him but denver has good RBs behind him in line, bishop sankey was just listed as #2 on the Titans behind Shonn Greene, and then I've got both Charles and Balls' handcuffs. But WRs, and this is a PPC league, I'm really not loving my situation. White is supposedly going to bounce back after an injured season but who knows. Patterson seems like he has tons of upside but is not a sure thing in Minnesota. And then I've got Randle, who seems to be a red zone WR which is fine but not ideal in PPR and who knows if Eli can be relied upon to deliver him the ball. Brian Hartline is in Miami. And Benjamin is just a flyer with some possible upside someday. Am I in as bad of shape as I feel like I am?

I think your team is perfectly fine, and you're over-thinking it. Charles, while coming off an injury also managed to finish as the #1 RB in fantasy last year in pretty much every format. I'm not sold on Montee Ball, but he has arguably the best opportunity for success out of any RB in the league. Your flex and WRs are a little weak, but you've got a bunch of high-upside guys on your bench that might shore those up over the next few weeks. I'd be pretty happy with that team.

fignewton posted:QB: Peyton Manning What is your scoring system? Standard or ppr? Not bad either way. Great QB (you can drop Carr though), strong WRs, good RBs (pick up Isaiah Crowell or Terrence West for insurance on Tate), you are a little exposed at TE and I would drop Green for Kelce as Kelce has a greater chance of having a Week 1 impact, I have no idea who Allen Hurna is, and your depth is decent aside from your last 3 picks.

10 team, 1 PPR, roster max of 6 RBs and WRs QB: Foles (K), Newton RB: Morris, Mathews (K), Vereen (K), CJ Spiller, J. Hill, L. Dunbar WR: Nelson (K), M. Floyd, TY Hilton, DeSean Jackson (K), Wes Welker, Cody Latimer TE: M. Bennett, A. Gates DEF: Seahawks (K) LB: Mychal Kendricks DL: Rob Ninkovich DB: Kenny Vaccaro Everyone had ~5 keepers so RB was a wasteland. Had to use two of the top 5 picks overall on Alfred Morris and CJ Spiller even though I'm not really a fan of either player this year. Had a stretch of 5 rounds where I wasn't drafting, so I took Jeremy Hill with my last pick before that stretch to secure him. Unfortunately that lead to missing out on every single mid-tier TE I would have wanted to draft. I have to drop one player to pickup a kicker, but I have no idea who. Martellus? Dunbar? Welker?

Your RB depth is pretty good that you can drop Dunbar with confidence.

So much value at RB and WR that I felt compelled to skip over guys like Ryan, Romo, Kaep, and RG3. I'm not going to post my full roster because the first 4 picks should tell you enough (Megatron, Graham, Gio, Gronk) but my QB is Cutler and I didn't bother taking a backup because they are available on waivers right now. Cutler better cut, is all I'm saying. I think you can drop PT Cruiser for a TE prospect or backup QB. If I were you I'd pick up a Wright or Kelce, where available.

Had my 10-team 2QB 0.5 PPR, keeper league draft last night, it was pretty interesting. As far as I could tell, not a single person drafted with the notion that it was a 2 QB league. This is what I ended up with: 5 Jamaal Charles, KC RB (keeper) 16 Cam Newton, Car QB 25 Colin Kaepernick, SF QB 36 Marshawn Lynch, Sea RB (keeper) 45 Matt Ryan, Atl QB 56 Cordarrelle Patterson, Min WR 65 Rashad Jennings, NYG RB 76 Michael Floyd, Ari WR 85 Kendall Wright, Ten WR 96 Mike Wallace, Mia WR 105 Dennis Pitta, Bal TE 116 Kelvin Benjamin, Car WR 125 Greg Jennings, Min WR 136 Cody Latimer, Den WR 145 Josh Gordon, Cle WR 156 Travis Kelce, KC TE 165 Nate Freese, Det K 176 Jets D/ST D/ST Charles and Lynch were my keepers, the top 5 QBs were gone even before my first pick, so I don't feel bad about keeping Charles in the first. I probably went a bit too hard on QBs as I technically went three in a row, as I'm not very happy with my WRs, and I don't really have a great bench RB. However, I now get to start one of Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, or Colin Kaepernick during my QB bye weeks, along with Jamaal Charles and Marshawn Lynch and that feels drat good. Been attempting to trade for Alshon Jeffery, but the owner seems content to trot out Ryan Tannehill every week, and throw in Ryan Fitzpatrick during his two bye weeks.

Have you not been paying attention to ADP at all this year? Given his ADP is actually 90th, you actually technically reached for him. People are concerned about how excessively terrible the Panthers offense is going to be, specifically his WRs. I don't think it's really any worse than it has been, but yeah.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:First time in an auction draft, 12 man, .5 PPR Ok, so here is what you need to do. For this week see if there are any spare broncos WRs out there. Andre Caldwell or Cody Latimer both would be brilliant if they have been overlooked. You will most likely lose this week no matter what. After this week you are going to scour the waiver wire for any breakout WRs and then you are going to most likely stream a new QB in based on defense. Ben might be ok to use though, but I have pretty much no faith in Palmer. Just play that by ear, but your WRs are obviously the first, second and third priority. If in 2 weeks you don't have a passable WR corp, package Lynch and Bowe for a RB/WR combo that will score more points for you. You aren't completely hosed but you got some digging out to do.
