Should I start Eddie Royal vs Cin, Jerricho Cotchery vs KC, or Knowshawn Moreno vs Cin in week 1?
-
thanks for the feedback, man. i saw ur post about barber/felix jones so i think i'm going to try and move him. i love my RB depth and i really stole sproles and mcfadden. i feel like one more solid WR will put me over the top.

what do i do with bush? do i start him as a flex? put barber at the flex? or i could trade either one.Originally Posted by Garrr
tmac, id start mcfadden over barber, just b/c the cowboys r gonna play 3 rbs this year, tashard choice will be getting 1-2 series a game, and felix jones is gonna get alot of touches, and mcfadden is a starter on a good running team. maybe you can try to make a trade with 1 of ur rbs and 1 wr for a good wr

Since my initial thread got merged into a different thread that ended up falling off the top pages, I'd thought I'd post this again, now updated with an 8 player trade I made and got accepted, only hours away from it being completed. Here is how I drafted for my $50 Yahoo League, non PPR, Standard Scoring, with solid draft regulars...
QB - Peyton Manning, Trent Edwards
WR - Colston, Anthony Gonzalez, Evans, Holt, Josh Morgan
RB - Slaton, Gore, McFadden, Reggie Bush, Coffee
TE - Cooley
K - Gostowski
DEF - Dallas
Now for the trade I proposed and got accepted...
McFadden, Gonzo, Evans, Cooley
for
Roddy, Witten, Leon Washington, Earl Bennett
This guy desperately wanted a RB, and was willing to part with his 3rd Rd pick of Roddy to do so, and his 5th of Witten (I got Cooley Rd 12 BTW). Its basically my 5th, 6th, 7th and 12th Rd Selections, for his 3rd, 5th, 13th and 14th (Tried to make as fair a trade as possible without totally giving him a raw deal). Even then, I'll be dropping his 14th (Bennett) and pick up a RB, either Edge or Earnest Graham assuming nothing happens right away. I may be trading away depth here, but I now will have every position solidified outside of my flex spot, where I will start who I believe has the best matchup going into the week. I'll be good enough @ WR with 2 #1's on my bench (and likely start em @ the flex spot over 50% of the time unless I get gifted a RB who ends up playing a ton in the event of an injury to someone else in 1 of 'em split time backfields). RB depth is obviously weak post trade, but you don't win your league with guys you don't play. -
phillies, I dont know what these other guys are smoking. I would snap call this trade. You upgrade your #2 rb tremendously and colston could have a big year. Beanie will be starting in no time and will be a better flex play than Bowe, and bradshaw is one injury away from having huge fantasy value, as is he will get 8-12 pts a game w a chance for 20. I would try to talk him into taking Andre Johnson instead of Moss. I think Moss is gonna have a huuuuuuuge year. Plus you have three texans. Im guessing u picked 11th or 12?
ur starters
shaub
thomas
benson
Moss
Johnson
Bowe
Daniels
after trade
shaub
grant
thomas
wells/bradshaw
Johnson (hopefully Moss)
Colsten
Daniels
team 2 looks like what i want, balance between rbs and wrs. but i must say if i cant convice him to take johnson instead of moss i might not do it. but i would def be trying to make a trade like this. whoever said dont trade before the season is a retard. its all about value. -
picked 9th actually but yeah im torn on whether to do this, still have to think about it

what if i just do bowe and jones for grant and jackson? -
nice trade. I wouldnt touch Mcfadden for the sole fact he plays for the raiders. Im from arkansas and love him and he could actually blow up but its the raiders and they find a way to fuck every thing up. I think your stealing from this guy. do me a favor and dont pick up graham, please? pick up james davis or if you must have an aged back, pick one that actually has a chance to start and get edge. not to sure why u picked trent edwards either. you could easily pick him or sumone comprable up.
I love your team is rb/rb/wr/wr/flex? cause if so this is sick
P. Manning
Slaton
Gore
Coslton
R. White
Washington/Bush
Witten
thats fucking sick. 10 team league i take it? i -
id do that ^
-
Yes, do this trade. Your RB's r weak IMO, and you need em, so do this trade.
Beanie could end up being your flex guy eventually, and if not, well heaven forbid u can roll with Benson, or play Cotchery based on matchups. By the looks of who u picked, u picked a great team for a 12 team league, outside of starting RB's, and that was probably because they went like hotcakes in the 1st 2-3 rds, in which case you had to go with what you ended up getting. -
Yeah i like bowe and jones for grant and jackson. but if you can replace johnson with moss I like that too.
did you draft Andre Johnson or Moss first? Im guessing Andre Johnson and then Moss fell all the way to you in the second round? -
yep pretty much how it happened, everyone went rb's and i had to settle with the top wr's instead

Moss(16)
thomas(33)
bowe(40)
schaub(57)
my first 5 picks -
Yes, 10 team league, from the #8 spot, yes a flex W/R where it would've been WR3. And yes, that would be my projected starting lineup as I have it, rotating between Bush and Washington along with some of my WR's based on matchups week by week for the Flex. James Davis got drafted btw, so he's off the board. Edwards, I took because of the 2 WR's he has to throw 2 and the new spread offense, even though its been a struggle so far. It was only a late rd 13 pick I used on him with all but 2 people outside of me already with 2 QB's. Then I got my DEF next round, whose matchups I love up till their bye week where I will get a different D to roll with.

Edge is my 1st Choice, but lets say someone else gets him before me. Then who?
McGahee is gone, Fred Taylor and Sammy Morris are gone, along with Hightower, Ricky Williams and others.
I'd like to go get Jamal Charles if Edge is gone, then if need be, go get Graham if all else fails... -
better hope brady stays healthy or or could be 10th

13 team standard league (someone dropped out on draft day), I had the 11th pick.
We start 2 RB's, 2 WR's and 1 RB/WR
QB - Romo, Campbell
RB - Tomlinson, Grant, Rice, Hightower, Buckhalter
WR - A Johnson, Royal, Driver, Harvin, Jenkins, Austin
TE - Scheffler
K - K Brown
D - Titans -
12 Team League, Standard scoring, Had to keep two players from previous season and we were stuck with M. Lynch and T.Romo. (No other team hand 2 standout keepers) So we didn't start off with THAT much of a handicap
QB. T. Romo
RB. L. Tomlinson
RB. M. Lynch
WR. C. Ochocinco
WR. B. Edwards
WR G. Olsen
K. N Kaeding
D. Miami
Bench
QB. C. Palmer
RB. D. McFadden
RB. R. Bush
RB. J. Charles
RB. J. Norwood
WR. K. Walter
WR. J. Morgan
WR. C. Shilens
We don't like to draft a backup D or K, we'll just pick one up when needed. Also D. McFadden would be plugged in for Lynch for at least the first 3 games.
Flame away -
Pretty happy with my team. I am hoping on some sleepers to make it big

bulk, you really drafted 7 wrs? really? I like the fred jackson and beanie wells picks but why draft nicks and smith or really why draft both. I think going after Jerious Norwood, Leon Washington, Glenn Coffee, or James Davis would have MUCH MUCH better value. Your never going to play Hester, Nicks or smith above TO, OchoCinco, Gonzalez or Avery. Rbs w upside late in the draft, thats how you win leagues.

10 team Non PPR $100 Buy in ESPN
QB: Cutler, Roethlisberger
RB: S. Jackson, Westbrook, Slaton, Wells, Moreno
WR: Welker, R. Williams, Gonzalez, Breaston, Avery
TE: Winslow, H. Miller
DEF: San Diego
K: Vinatieri
I drafted 6th and think I had a pretty strong draft, especially at RB. My WR's are OK and I'm not really worried, and Cutler could go either way. Any particular weaknesses? I'll prob drop Vinatieri even though kickers are obv interchangeable, as well as play matchups with the DEF. -
Well i pretty much banked all of my FF leagues on Mcfadden being solid this year. He was going in like the 5th and 6th round in most of my leagues and i just think if he stays healthy there is so much upside there. MY strategy this year was to draft one elite running back in the first round then stock pile WRs and grab Dmac in the later rounds.

thats fucking sick. 10 team league i take it? i
Edit - also you say your from Arkansas, just wondering your thoughts on Felix Jones? I havent been this excited about a player since we drafted DWare. Like i said earlier he is just such a natural runner, seems like he sees the field so well and is just super super explosive in the open field. He ran a 4.4 at combine but he is super quick and once he makes his cut he just kicks it into another gear. Cant wait for football season only a week away!!! -
Sorry, this was from the league posted on the previous page I guess you missed. .5pt pr, qb td is 4pts, rest is standard. Clearly, this was an auction draft.
