Flex V Jackson
K Hauschka
Def Carolina
bench
Rb Rice
WR Wright
TE Bennett
RB Moreno
RB A Williams...may drop for Tre Mason or Marcus Wheaton
I like my team. I did not take a rb until rd 3. If Rice comes back to 2012/2011 I have very solid team. Football guys rate my team says I have a 99% chance to make the playoffs.
LOL, I love meaningless guarantees.
RB Foster, Bell Pitt, Ellington, Vereen
WR CJ, Dez, E Sanders, Kendall Wright
TE Pitna
D San Fran
K Gould
8 team league?

Lacy doesn't sniff the lead league in rushing yards. He'd need 3 or 4 guys to get injured, probably closer to 5 or 6 guys.

Its not a meaningless guarantee. Please tell me how, other than injruies, he has more yards than McCoy, Charles, AP, or Forte? That's 4 he will not surpass unless Rodgers misses time, or if any of those 4 get hurt.
I'd put him as an outside chance at the 5th spot, battling with Lynch and Murray.

Nothing is guaranteed. In forte's career he's only surpassed Lacy's rookie rushing total twice.
Same with LeSean McCoy - in fact last year was so much of an outlier for McCoy in terms of attempts; sure Kelly's offense helped (a lot), but expect a regression, not a progression IMO.
Peterson is the only one who would IMO need something catastrophic to happen.
And that's why the money has Lacy 4th. So if the guy who is rated by Bovado as 4th best odds to win the rushing title, wins it, that's not much a surprise to me.
So from a fantasy perspective, regardless of PPR, i don't see how Lacy should be taken over those guys unless you are predicting an injury.
LOL, I'm not convinced, I said "I wouldn't be surprised"
I don't have Lacy in either of my league's so I'll be rooting against it.

Agree, never said he should be. Or Dez Bryant, or Calvin Johnson, or Demaryius Thomas.
I said I'd take him over AJ Green.

I really don't like your other 2 starting WRs. I think Cruz is going to have a major struggle this year. I know you feel differently. I'm not a big Maclin fan, especially as a 3rd WR, but you should be able to fill that hole on the wire.
As a side note, Jeremy Hill is killing it in his 4th preseason game. He has the talent to eat into some of Gio's workload by midseason.
Just sayin...
I took the last of the top 3 QB's and stafford went in rd 5, Luck in 6 and then Brady in 8(2 picks before me). Most people had the same strategy to wait on qb's if they didn't get a top one.
If only I was drafting with a bunch of morons. Julio went with the first pick in rd 2, Brown went late in rd 2. The 4 picks after me taking Gio...Martin, Bush, Gronk, Foster.
I like Steve Smith though. Amendola can also be a legitimate threat if he's healthy, which is a huge if. I have him on my team as well.
Cruz is a guy I just think I am going to avoid unless he really drops. I just don't have faith in our pass offense right now. It might be ok after a few weeks but I think it's going to be a definite work in progress. Having Mega will definitely help you, though. Maclin.. if he stays healthy he should put up numbers. We'll see.
Love your QB's. I doubt anyone in your league has a better pair than Brees/Cam.
Again. Megatron, Brees, and Gio is as good as it gets.
Crazy how one preseason game skyrocketed his value.

Where is devonta freeman going in your drafts? I got in him in the 14th, and i think he could be one of those rookie RB's to make an impact.

If I had my draft today, I wouldn't have took LeVeon Bell so early. I underestimated how many snaps Blount would get. I thought Bell was going to be a true workhorse. But I also got what I believe to be value picks in guys like Sanders and Vereen. It's a two way street and makes it more fun IMO.
The preseason injuries are a real downside to early drafting, but it's part of the game too.

I find 10 team leagues cheapen things. Digging deep isn't really required. 24 less players is a huge difference, and lessens the amount of luck involved, even if only a little bit.
got my draft tomorrow for my 12 is it weird i am hoping i am in the back half of the draft...i know the top 4 you will get a top RB but i am kind of hoping to be in that 7-10 range to get a top WR and either another top WR or the RB that falls to me like Lynch...
we knocked off 1 bench spot and added the 2nd flex since it forced you to play another player that may not be a stud, and keep you from stashing too many players. Makes drafting more important i have found.
In any case, was just wondering how everyone else does it.
He's clearly the most talented by a substantial margin. Just a matter of them committing to him and dealing with whatever mental mistakes he may make.
Just Hunter looks like he will have a bright future. Glad a got him late.
If your goal is to win money, why wouldn't you want 10 team if it's easier to navigate through, whatever that means.

leagues are the only way to go, IMO. 10 team leagues are easier to navigate through. I did learn how to play fantasy football in 10 team leagues though.

It's easier to navigate when you have better talent available to you.
I like it when a league is more of a challenge.
But less margin for error in 12-team, you can be eliminated a lot easier with a major injury or poor performer than you can in 10-team, I like the recovery ability and still feel like it rewards the more prepared people.
