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.

Satans Red Mosquito

Standard 12 team league, 6 points for QB TD's, and the draft was auction style, and we have 2 rb/wr positions, so as you can tell from my team, I loaded up on wrs.

QB - Matt Schaub
QB - Matt Stafford
QB - Colt McCoy
RB - Darren McFadden
RB - Ryan Grant
RB - Fred Jackson
RB - Jerome Harrison
WR - Calvin Johnson
WR - Miles Austin
WR - Desean Jackson
WR - Chad Ochocinco
WR - Emmaunel Sanders
WR - Jacoby Jones
WR - Kevin Walters
TE - Owen Daniels
Eagles Defense
Cowboys Defense
K - Nate Kaeding

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.

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

he still stands

wow, I just looked at the Yahoo! composite rankings of the experts vs. my pick... this says I done good 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...

Last draft tonight..

The Juggler

my teams stink

hey shadow....how's your team doing?

polaris_x

after an 0-4 start ... i've brought it back to .500 ... my wideouts are killing me tho ... especially with that philly offense ... one week - a wideout can go for 100+ yds and a td and next 32 yds ...

i gotta sit either jackson or maclin this week ... not sure who ...

SVRDhand13

I am ranked at the 98% on ESPN standard scoring, yet my team is 5-3 because I got paired against people with the highest scores those weeks :evil:.

81

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 . 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.

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!!!!!
