12 team non ppr. There are roster limits hence carrying 2 Def and PK . No TE required as they count as WR.

QB - Wilson, Tyrod Taylor
RB - Bell, Ingram, Woodhead, Matt Jones
WR/TE: Watkins, Jordan Mathews, Devante Parker, Snead, Aiken
DEF - Jets / Skins
PK - Crosby / Hopkins

Interesting notes: Taje Sharp went undrafted and Deandre Washington as well.

To be honest, I really don't like it.

Did you have 12th pick and go Bell + Ingram?
.  
arcarsenal : 8/30/2016 12:14 pm : link
Pretty solid team.. Woodhead has significantly less value in standard leagues than PPR, though.

You still suck.
Had 8th pick  
Fish : 8/30/2016 12:18 pm : link
and needed to protect the Bell pick with other Running backs. Hoping I can go at least 1-2 first 3 weeks then when Bell back turn it on.

Yes arc, if my team was PPR would be strong. I still think it has potential. WR's are weak but we don't know how it plays out. #suckinit
not a fan of that team  
YAJ2112 : 8/30/2016 12:43 pm : link
If you're taking Bell, you can't take Jones who might be out week 1 as well. You should have just locked in Deangelo instead of going for Woodhead or Jones.

I like Watkins, but don't want any part of Matthews or Parker this year. Snead I like as well, think with all of the Michael Thomas hype he's getting overlooked.
Team is eh, don't love it, don't hate it.

QB situation is slightly better than average. RB's should be good. Looks like your strength. WR's are below average.

I don't get non PPR leagues. Also, why no TE spot?

mik999999 : 8/30/2016 12:50 pm : link
I dont think your team is as bad as others. Wilson is a top 3 or 4 QB. Your Rbs after week 4 will be a strength. Watkins is a stud and if Rex is willing to throw more should be in for a big year. Matthews is solid but health is a question mark. Don't like your two defenses though. Team should be a contender for a playoff spot

Does anyone else think Rob Kelley is being overlooked? Haven't heard much about him except good training camp and he could very well be the starter week 1. Matt Jones just wasn't very that good last year, if Kelley puts up a good outing week 1 then I could see them riding him until he proves useless.

Looks like you and I drafted a bunch of similar players. I'm a little worried about Kelvin and your overall WR depth but you have an elite QB situation, a top 5 RB and an elite TE. I like it.

Why take two stud QBs? You obviously drafted Rodgers early why waste a spot on a backup? Your RBs are Ok but after AP alot of question marks. The wr you took a bunch of high risk guys so its interesting to see if it pays off. Love Reed at TE.

mik, I took Brady fairly late, the value was just too good. I can always trade Rodgers in like week 5 and probably get a huge return if he's healthy. Couldn't pass Brady up for the value.

I did zero research for standard scoring this year because I am not in any standard leagues but at first glance this looks like a real solid team. Allen is probably better in standard leagues because he's not a high volume guy but he'll get RZ targets. If you only start 2 WR you have pretty good depth there and I like that you have Washington with Murray because if Murray gets hurt or misses time for any reason I think Washington will be a stud.
Thanks for feedback  
Fish : 8/30/2016 12:58 pm : link
YAJ - Week 1 is gonna be tough. I will start Ingram and Woodhead, along with 3 WR if Jones is out. Like I said if I can be 1-2 heading into week 4 when Bell back then should contend for playoffs.

Parker / Aiken could be types of players who are chosen at least 3 rounds earlier next year

mik99999 - Thanks. Kills me that I have to root for the Jets but think they are solid D

Keith - League has been in business for over 20 years and never had a TE position. The top 5 TE can put up WR numbers so we blended that position. Thanks.
arc, I like Benjamin more than others  
Keith : 8/30/2016 12:58 pm : link

Don't like Luck this year, I think he will be much like last year. Don't like his cast(line, weapons).

Your RB's and WR's don't seem like a strength either. What round did you get those guys?

Yahoo gave me and one other team the worst draft grades (C).. LOL. Their big complaint about my team was that my QB's and TE's have the same bye weeks. Really not a big deal. I can swap Cousins out for Carr anyway (discussed this yesterday)

I wasn't thrilled with my team after the draft but looking at everyone elses roster I feel like I have one of the most balanced teams and should be okay. A lot of the other teams are stacked at one position like WR or RB but are weak at the other.

Once Jones is healthy, I think they'll give him every shot to be the early down guy with Thompson coming in on passing downs. I just don't see the Skins being a strong rushing team, so I don't think Kelley would do that great even if he somehow got the job.

Pretty good. My only quibble would be that with the smaller starting lineup, I would have gone for a TE earlier than Allen. Allen should be okay in a non-PPR though so it's a minor quibble.

I think Tomlin has shown that he will go with the bell cow approach, so I don't think D Will will be startable when Bell is healthy. But D Will is definitely valuable to keep on the bench at that point given Bell's injury history.

WRs are pretty weak for a PPR, which will happen when you take a QB and TE in the first 5 rounds and take an RB early as well. Looks like a shallow bench though, so at least there should be some options on waivers at WR if the guys you have don't pan out.
I'm def weak at WR. A choice I had to make due to  
Keith : 8/30/2016 1:13 pm : link
the flow of the draft. That being said, I def see upside. Benjamin was a stud his rookie year and now Cam is a much better QB. Diggs is a guy I love. Flies way under the radar as he's the only weapon at WR on the Vikings and they love him. Ideally Benjamin would be my WR3 and Diggs would be my WR4, but I have some pieces to trade should they not pan out. Barnidge and Rodgers should have solid value.

I don't think he's loaded, but I'm guessing it's a keeper league.

QB-Brees is a middle of the road QB these days. Average, usually going in rds 6-9.

RB-Solid. Charles has dropped in some leagues to late rd 2, miller is a late 1st/early 2nd rounder.

WR-Green is obviously a first rounder, Jeffrey is going in rd 3/4.

TE-weak, but you can't be great everywhere.

I think you are fine. I'd hang onto the RB depth for now. You'll have a very good WR trio when Gordon is back and Sharpe could wind up being a steal. OBJ and Thomas should be able to carry that group for the time being.

Charles fell into the back 3rd. Jeffery to the 4th. Couldn't believe it. Some questionable picks like Jordy and the top 2 qbs went in the first 2 rounds. The league may or may not be a keeper its the first year of the league.

Feeling pretty good other than my WR depth.

I normally offer 20 trade proposals every year before the season even begins. I've cut down on that this year but still have that nervous habit. Glad you guys think I'm okay so far.

Giants fan: Jordy in the 2nd is normal. As a matter of fact, I would've picked him in the back end of the second but he got sniped right before me. I had to resort with taking Demaryius in the 3rd instead. Tis life.

Do I go for Brown and rookies or do I try to get a Cooper and a Dez? Player salaries get high in these drafts. Brown will probably be in the $70 range.

I hear you, I'm usually the same way(but after the season starts). I think your WR's are just fine. I think you clearly have 2 good WR's. Gordon could be a very good WR3, but you definitely lack at the position. See how things unfold when the season starts. There should be good FA's and you could also make a trade after the season starts. Don't show the other managers panic though.

Went away from what I normally do and the flow of the draft made me change my pre-draft strategy.

QB-Rodgers/Brady
RB-Peterson/Forte/Ryan Mathews/Matt Jones
WR-Dez/Kelvin Benjamin/Stefon Diggs/Corey Coleman/Chris Hogan
TE-Reed/Barnidge
Def: Giants/Houston


I'd try to spin Brady to get a more legit WR2. Dez has a rookie QB and the guys behind him would scare me if I had to rely on them.

Yeah, I was pretty happy I got Snead where I did in my draft. Any other opinions on my team? I posted it in the middle of the thread Monday but everyone was asking a billion questions at the same time. The only thing I really didn't like about it was that I kinda took Ivory by mistake but in the grand scheme of things I could probably do a lot worse as a 4th RB.

10 team PPR

Brady, Cousins
McCoy, Forte, Mathews, Ivory, Sims
Julio, Evans, Jones Jr, Snead, Smith Sr, Boyd
Reed, Eifert
NYG D/ST



Who is Jones Jr at WR? Marvin?

Overall I like the team. Giants defense should be great this year. I'd try to land Powell in a trade if you can.


Yeah, Marvin.

I wanted to snag Powell near the end but he got clipped like 2 picks ahead of me. I was considering scooping Bush as a cuff for McCoy or picking up DeAndre Washington but there's no one I really want to drop for either.

Here's the thing though. We just did the draft, Brady went til the 8th round. Why would anyone trade their 3rd 4th or even 5th rounder for Brady when they had a ton of opps to draft him? I will wait it out, no reason to do something now. I'll use the first 4 weeks to evaluate and see from there. I think both Rodgers and Brady will be top 3 caliber QB's. If that's the case, I'll shop them after 4 games.

That's fair, unless someone is in serious QB distress. You could also consider dealing Barnidge to a Browns fan or whoever had him last year. Although it would be nice to keep a legit security blanket behind Reed.

Yea I wouldn't drop anyone on your roster for those two. I think you're in pretty good shape regardless.

agree on Barnidge(except I had him last year). I think he's severely underrated, I got him in rd 10, but I need to keep him considering Reed's injury history.
