NFT: Curious to the fantasy experts thoughts on my draft....

ShocknAwe80 : 9/1/2014 11:49 pm
12 team .5ppr league... Fresh start to what will be a keeper league where you can keep 2 drafted players (losing the round that you picked them in next year's draft) and 1 free agent acquisition. I had the 8th pick.

qb: brees
rb: ball
rb: foster
wr: k. allen
wr: p. Garcon
te: miller
flex: p. thomas
k: dawson
dst: bengals
reserves: p. harvin
s. jackson
b. pierce
d. hopkins
j. gordon (will gladly give up my 14th for him)
j. Stewart
j. locker (brees has by 6, he plays jax)

curious as to your thoughts...


Who was your first pick?  
RC02XX : 9/1/2014 11:52 pm : link
Brees? Or Ball?

Not a fan of your picks, sorry.

ShocknAwe80 : 9/1/2014 11:57 pm : link

Ok...maybe my original post was a bit harsh. Sorry about that.

I'm not a fan of Foster as the #2 RB. And at least for the next two weeks, I think B.Pierce would be a better bet as the Flex than P.Thomas. Better yet I like B.Pierce as the #2 RB and P.Harvin as the Flex.

That was just the way cbs filled in the roster, may not be my week 1 lineup
im worried about Pierce  
Mr. Nickels : 9/2/2014 1:04 am : link
i kinda need him to win the job permanently with this news about Lamar Miller and Moreno or is that just noise?


Why waste a pick on Josh Gordon he is suspended the year

Could he get an injunction and reinstated?
It's a keeper league  
UConn4523 : 9/2/2014 1:18 am : link
so he's stashing Gordon all year for a 14th. A good move that will pay off, but you'll have 1 less spot to work with for the year which hurts.
Ball  
mdthedream : 9/2/2014 6:45 am : link
is a reach in the first round. Team is average.
There's fantasy experts here?  
Rocky Thompson : 9/2/2014 7:28 am : link
Where?

No such thing as a fantasy expert, know your scoring, do your research go with your gut.

Ball's not a reach a #8 if you know you are going QB with your 2nd pick and he won't be there in the third round. He's in a stacked offense, what's not to like? Foster's a gamble as an RB 2 but I'd roll the dice.

I like Heath Miller in that Pittsburgh offense, love Cincy's D, Josh Gordon at 14 is a great pick. Steven Jax is boom or bust this year, if healthy he'll be a stud, worth a shot.

It's a nice squad
My draft threw me completely off guard  
djl8699 : 9/2/2014 8:56 am : link
because QBs were taken earlier than I expected.

Drafted 8th out of 10, expected to pick up Graham in the 1st and Brees or Rodgers in the 2nd. But the 3 top QBs were taken before I could nab him so I had to go D. Thomas in the 2nd. It kind of spiraled from there and I'm left with a team that I kind of like at times and then I'm not so crazy about other times I look at it.

QB- Kaepernick, Tannehill(I plan on dropping him and using this bench spot for waiver wire pickups during the season)

RB- Ellington, Sankey, Sproles, F. Jackson, Moreno

WR- D. Thomas, Cobb, Sammy Watkins, Welker, Terrance Williams

TE- Graham, Bennett

Defense- 49ers

K- Novac


Go ahead guys, rip me apart
i dont like taking qb so early  
CruzShip52 : 9/2/2014 8:58 am : link
i dont like it at all now you have holes at flex and wr not a bad team tho

Maximus, Esq. : 9/2/2014 9:23 am : link
Other than waiting too long on QB - I like your team. Love your WRs, you are a little thin at RB depth but you have to see how much Sproles and Moreno will be used by their teams - so, the verdict isn't in on your RBs. Wait a few weeks and see how they are. You may want to package Tannehill and a WR for a QB upgrade. Tannehill may put up some good numbers in that offense for fantasy purposes - so he's not a bad late QB2 pick.

Yeah I know, I was kind of screwed at QB as soon as people started taking them early. My choice in the 2nd round was either go Stafford, or get a top 3 WR in Thomas, so I chose Thomas. After that I knew I'd be weak at QB so I held off for a few rounds until I had to either pull the trigger on Kaep or Foles. In hindsight I probably should have picked Foles but I really don't expect his 27-2 TD:INT ratio to continue, and at least Kaep can run.

I don't like Steven Jackson at all this year and don't think he'll be anything near a "stud"

He has a lot of wear on his wheels.

As an RB3 I don't hate him but relying on him as anything more than that is expecting too much.
Ahh, what the hell. How did I do?  
Bramton1 : 9/2/2014 11:37 am : link
QB: Tony Romo, Robert Griffin
RB: Adrian Peterson, Alfred Morris, Danny Woodhead, Carlos Hyde
WR: Jordy Nelson, Jeremy Maclin, Golden Tate, Rueben Randle, Hakeem Nicks
TE: Julius Thomas, Charles Clay
K: Dan Carpenter
DEF: Carolina
I semi-agree with arc.  
kmed : 9/2/2014 11:42 am : link
I don't think Jackson will come anywhere near "stud" status, but I do think he can be serviceable and add value. He should still get TD's, he should still catch a few balls, but I don't see him able to handle a full workload anymore.
Bramton,  
kmed : 9/2/2014 11:43 am : link
looks like you drafted the all NFC-East team...minus giants.
I love Steven  
EricNY33 : 9/2/2014 11:52 am : link
Jackson as a player, but he always gets nicked up. Hard to rely on someone like that.
I'll post here for mine

14 team standard (picked 13). Your 2014 Laces Out Dan:

QB - Phillip Rivers (5)
RB - Arian Foster (1)
RB - Rashad Jennings (3)
WR - Brandon Marshall (2)
WR - Roddy White (4)
FX - MJD (6)
TE - Martellus Bennet (8)
Df - Saints (12)
K - Graham Gano (15)
------------
Nicks, WR (7)
Riley Cooper, WR (9)
Carlos Hyde, (10)
Flacco, QB (11)
Robert Turbin (13)
Travis Kelce (14)

Unfortunately by 13 the top QBs and RBs are gone a long with Jimmy Graham. So I roll the dice on Foster...
