    Rate my team.... didn't want to start an entire new thread.... but might if this doesn't get any love. lol.

    12 team, 0.5 ppr. Start 1QB 1RB 2WR and 1 Flex, TE, K, and D

    QB Vick
    QB Fitzpatrick
    RB F. Jones
    RB S. Greene
    RB Javid Best
    RB McGahee
    RB Jerome Harrison
    WR Andre Johnson
    WR Steve Johnson
    WR Chad Johnson AKA 85
    WR Mike Thomas
    WR Roy Williams
    TE Tony Gonzalez
    TE Jared Cook
    K Gostkowski
    D Falcons

    FYI took Andre Johnson 7th and Vick 17th or 18th. Then went Jones, Green, Best, and then Steve Johnson.

    I'll give it a B- Running back and TE are thin.

    Well 81 your loaded at WR. You might of been able to get another RB instead of your 10 WR lol. Not bad. I would trade a WR for a RB because your one hammy away from being screwed. I give it a solid B. How WRs can u start?

    No we start 2 pure RB positions, 2 WR positions, and 2 slash positions, and I'm banking on fred jackson just being average but being there and hoping sanders comes around and ocho becomes a 1000 yard receiver again.

    I'll give you a B as well but you need better RB's. Cause McFadden will share a lot of carries and Grant will get banged up. For Jackson the Bills are going to be playing from behind a lot so they will be throwing.

    we start
    qb
    2 rb
    2 wr
    1 rb/wr flex
    te
    k
    d

    i'm happy with the team. blount and wells are both the man on their teams and will get the 80% of the carries.

    i think bush could have a above average year.

    starts could/shoudl be the starter in gb although i'm a little disapointed they redid grant's contract to keep him in the mix. and with ward, he's just a little teaser in case foster has issues all season

  • wow, I just looked at the Yahoo! composite rankings of the experts vs. my pick... this says I done good :D SIX top 50 guys in a 16 team league!

    RANK: 7 PICK: 11 Andre Johnson, Hou WR
    RANK: 14 PICK: 22 Michael Turner, Atl RB
    RANK: 49 PICK: 43 Matt Ryan, Atl QB
    RANK: 22 PICK: 54 Shonn Greene, NYJ RB
    RANK: 42 PICK: 75 Brandon Marshall, Mia WR
    RANK: 47 PICK: 86 Mike Tolbert, SD RB
    RANK: 90 PICK: 118 Danny Amendola, StL WR
    RANK: 79 PICK: 139 Jimmy Graham, NO TE

    ... I think they have Greene, Marshall and Tolbert ranked a bit high...

    sooooo....Mr Shadowcast....how did your teams do?

    my three money league teams are all headed to playoffs. 2 of 3 are high seeds. the non high seed team just hasn't lived up to expectations. :x but you never know, anything can happen in the playoffs.

    Made the playoffs at 8-5 in the BIG money league but boy was that a stuggle. Hillis killed me with my second pick. I might as well have drafted Marion Barber in the second round. GOt hot the last 5 weeks which put me over the top.

    The Little money league didn't make the playoff at 5-8. Drafted CJ in the first round (#8 out of 10) and he didn't show up until the past three weeks. Also drafted Hillis and he fucked me again. Miles Austin screwed me as well.

    In both leagues whoever has Rogers is either 1 or 2.

    that's my worst team...

    this week i strated

    Newton
    Blount
    Lynch
    Wells
    White
    Johnson
    Gonzalez
    Raiders
    Gould

    with the bench being
    Decker
    Scott (Cin)
    Chiefs
    Heyward-bay
    Williams (TN)

    with an IR list of
    Austin
    Schaub
    Britt
    Graham

    on paper it's not a bad team, but between injuries and inconsistnet week to week play, it's killed me.

    I have WAY too many good RBs and it will be hard to choose who to use each week in the playoffs. Well, I guess that's a good problem to have :lol:. I can basically play 4 out of the 7 each week.

    Absolutely playing every week:
    1) Arian Foster

    Absolutely playing every week when he is finally healthy:
    2) Darren McFadden

    Most Likely Playing:
    3) WIllis McGahee (tons of carries)
    4) Roy Helu (fresh legs + young great talent)

    Depends on healthh/matchup:
    5) Kevin Smith

    Playing as a WR:
    6) CJ Spiller (is classified as RB/WR)

    Staying on My Bench:
    7) LeGarrette Blount (can't trust this Bucs team- not enough carries)

    I'm a big fan of Spiller. I think he will get the job done. Helu is looking really good as well. I just don't trust Willis.

    I may be dropping him when Run DMC comes back. Kevin Smith would be a beast if he could stay healthy. He always starts so freakin strong.

    well ... the yahoo compare tool says robinson but moss is ranked higher in the composite

    it's really all about match ups i think ... the giants secondary isn't so hot ... but neither is the bucs ...
  • shadowcastshadowcast Posts: 2,182
    Alright the RED SKEETERS made it to the big game. Seattle's D got me 30 points, Romo rolled, Matthews rolled, J. Jones rolled, Hernandez rolled. up 134 to 112 with Mendenhall and Brown going and he has nobody.

    FEAR THE SKEETERS!!!!!
