Well done! No major complaints with your lineup, except my personal worries about Sammy. It's a shame you have to cut 4 for space because I don't know which 4 I'd cut and letting go of DeAndre and Funchess would be tough for me given their hype train status (probably more reason to drop them).

12 team, PPR, QB/2RB/2WR/2Flex/1TE/DST. First year for this league. Up to 4 can be kept next year at a round higher than where we drafted them. There's also an IR spot.

Drafted 9th. Might have gotten way too high after round 7, but overall, I'm ok with it. Gonna stream QB unless Smith becomes a different person or Griffin time travels back to 2012. Going to move Lewis to IR and pick up either Jamison Crowder or the Vikings D.

We have Drive to Survive at home
12 team PPR, 2WR 2RB 1RB/WR/TE Flex, 1QB, K, D/ST
5th pick, snake

1 AJ Green WR CIN
2 Brandin Cooks WR NO
3 Jeremy Maclin WR KC
4 DeMarco Murray RB TN
5 Michael Floyd WR AZ
6 Jonathon Stewart RB CAR
7 Gary Barnidge TE CLE
8 Derrick Henry RB TN
9 LaGarrette Blount RB NE
10 Arizona D/ST
11 DeAndre Washington RB OAK
12 Marcus Mariota QB TN
13 Dak Prescott QB DAL
14 Chris Johnson RB AZ
15 Matt Prater K DET

I normally wouldn't take a D/ST so early but I felt better about taking that there than what was on the board. I still needed a QB but I don't mind what I have and by taking AZ I missed out on Carr, Cousins, Tyrod, Stafford and Jameis. I think Mariota and Dak have just as high upside as any one of those guys and I might have a defense that I won't have to spend any energy on streaming and playing matchups week to week. My only other weird thing is that I didn't take any WR after the 5th but the RBs I took were the best players on the board at that time plus I feel like the 4 receivers I got are pretty good and hopefully all I'll need. Do you think it would have been smarter to take 1 or 2 WR fliers over Blount or Washington? E: Around Blount I could have had Snead or Aiken and Washington I could have had Wheaton, Rishard, or Sanu

Don't draft a defense before the last two rounds. Defenses are incredibly hard to predict and almost never worth investing more than the bare minimum of capital into. Streaming isn't too hard and is worth it for the extra shot at a mid-round difference making talent.

I'd also drop your second QB for another WR.

We're 12 team .5ppr and I can't decide if I should be excited or depressed over this:

QB: Bortles
RB: Chris Ivory, Deangello Williams, Forsett, Javorious, Chris Johnson, Alfred Morris
WR: Dez, Keenan Allen, Brandon Marshall, Sterling Shephard, Kamar Aiken, Kenny Stills
TE: Jordan Reed
D/ST: Packers
K: Gostkowski

I really poo poo the bed with my RB, but I have by far the best group of receivers in my league. I was so wrapped up in my wr picks that I didn't notice the one lady on autodraft was snatching up rb's like no tomorrow. They've got JStew, Bell, Foster, CJ Anderson and absolute poo poo for WR. I'm thinking about trying to trade for Bell, but I'd most likely have to give up Dez.

Yeah...zero RB is a very viable draft strategy but you seemed to have missed the memo about grabbing the high upside guys. Anyone halfway decent on the wire like Derrick Henry, Jerrick McKinnon, Theo Riddick or Tevin Coleman? If not, I'd definitely try to flip one of those WRs for an RB1. I don't think it would really hurt you to lose an WR, especially if one of your bench guys flashes, which seems fairly likely.

Very slim pickins on the WW in this league. Only guys I'd be tempted to grab are Spiller, Tolbert, or maybe Khiry but I don't think they'd really help my situation at all in the near term. Dion Lewis is there too but not on IR, so I can't stash him without dropping somebody else. I think I'll offer up Dez for Bell and see how that goes.

It's my first year playing fantasy football after years of only having a mild interest in the game, watching from time to time, rather than every game that I could. I've been playing catch up, learning the ins and outs of fantasy.

Anyway, I figure it wouldn't hurt to get some advice on my team. Here is my current lineup.

My league is .5 PPT, 1 keeper, 1 FLEX, and 1 DP

QB- D. Brees
Rb- D. Freeman
Rb- L. McCoy
Wr- A. Cooper
Wr- E. Sanders
Te- C. Fleener
FLEX- R. Matthews
DP- D. Jackson
Defense- Raiders
K- R. Aguayo

BE- D. Johnson (RB)
BE- M. Crabtree (WR)
BE- J. Flacco (QB)
BE- D. Sproles (RB)
BE- B. Ellington (WR)
BE- J. Crowder (WR)
BE- S. Coates (WR)

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated, particularly with how new at this I am.

Thanks
Personally, I almost never draft more WRs than RBs. RBs get hurt a lot, which both means your high end guys will be out occasionally, and occasionally your bench-riders will get promoted (more often than WRs usually will, anyway). That said, it's a weird year where RBs may be a little undervalued, so I might like a team like this more than normal if I was drafting 11 or 12.

Fleener should turn out okay (I hope he does anyway) but it may take some patience, and Brees should be fine. I don't like Flacco at all even as a backup but those are pretty easy to find.

You're weakest at WR, but I don't think there was much you could've done about that without grabbing two of them with your first 2 picks. Amari's solid anyway.

Also if your waiver wire/free agent system involves bidding, then it probably isn't what DrPossum described. It's probably a Free-Agent Auction Budget (FAAB): Basically you put in bids on players you want before the free agent market opens each week, then at a pre-determined time, your site will process all of those bids from all owners, and the highest bid gets the player. You have a set amount of monopoly money to spend over the course of the season. Some leagues process an auction 3 or 4 times a week; others will process only one, and then the remaining free agent players are just first-come-first-served for the rest of the week. There could also be other wrinkles, like whether or not $0 bids are allowed, or a limit on add/drops in a single week. It's tedious, but it's still worth it to read up on how your particular league works so that you'll know the system when it matters. It really sucks to have to start bad players only because you forgot a particular rule or setting for that league (I've gotten caught by an add/drop limit before when I didn't plan my bids very wisely). FAABs can be hard to get a handle on at first, but I've been using them for a few years now and I prefer them over any other method.

Hope that helps! Not a bad team, but not a great team either. Also I am not at all an expert.

The Texans play the Bears Week 1, you might be able to trade it for something if they destroy Cutler. Worth a shot.

Tyrod is not a starting QB in a 12 team league, either. Not without a backup.

Also you could have literally zero usable RBs if Rawls/Michael split, Forsett splits, Duke Johnson split with Crowell and Ryan Mathews splits in half

I mean, I think most people would be hurting if they lost their #1 RB, but Starks is available on waivers and I feel RB is the easiest place to find waiver value. Which bench guy should I drop for a waiver RB? AIken or Shephard is my thought.

Edit:

I was planning on picking up Dion Lewis on waivers and throwing him in the IR slot at the very least.

You have pretty much no RB depth, and one of Foster/Forte is likely to break this year. I'd drop Bruce Ellington and pick up a high upside handcuff/backup on the WW to roster.

Brees at 2.01 is pretty awful, sorry. Starting WRs + flex are good enough but not godly and not near enough to overpower your weaknesses elsewhere. Woodhead, Sims, and DWill as your top RBs is brutal. Should've waited way longer for a 2nd QB, should've waited longer for first DST and kicker. It's fine to have two each of QB, DST, and K if you have some restrictions on waiver pick ups, but that doesn't mean you should reach so early for them. You really could've used better RB and WR depth in the 10th-12th, rather than taking them all there.

Why is Brees at 2.01 pretty awful? With how we score he is technically the #1 QB out there..

Alot of people keep QB's in our league, here were all of the keepers:

code:
A. Dalton	M. Crabtree	E. Manning	M. Mariota	D. Freeman	J. Nelson	B. Cooks	C. Newton	Da. Johnson	T. Gurley	D. Hopkins
A. Robinson	B. Bortles	Green Bay	K. Benjamin	D. Baldwin	R. Matthews	T. Riddick			M. Sanu
And I agree the starting RB's aren't the best, and wish I would of remembered I had allen and took an rb in round 4 instead of golden tate. Could of had d. Murrary, langford, rawls, abdullah.. I might try and trade someone one of my WR for a RB1

It's mostly because though he may be the No. 1 QB you could get 85% of his production while waiting for another QB and in that time picked up another RB which would of made your team better overall.
