i know its way way to early(and i fought every wich way to try and avoid this), but my work had our fantasy leauge draft yesterday and here is my team.(standard Yahoo scoring) QB-Peyton WR-Andre Johnson WR-Braylon Edwards WR-Driver RB-Michael Turner RB-Ronnie TE-Carlson D-SD K-Gould BN-Chambers BN-Laverneus Coles BN-Marshawn BN-Thomas Jones BN-Knowshon Moreno BN-Cutler im feelin good, especialy about my RBs, though i think i might try and trade one for a better starting WR.....i hope i can win this 2years in a row.
Haaa same thing I was thinking. How many people in your league have watched football before? That just seems unreal.
10 people, but ya most of them arent the smartest. about half of them always reach for their fav teams players early so i get some good picks early.
Well i just did a 12 team draft...too many dolphins for my liking(i prefer 0). Compare off this. QB: Matt Ryan RB: Matt Forte RB: Ronnie Brown WR: Roddy White WR: Eddie Royal WR: Anthony Gonzalez TE: Chris Cooley DEF: Bears K: Rackers BN: Jonathan Stewart BN: LeSean McCoy BN: Ted Ginn Jr. BN: David Garrard BN: Jerious Norwood BN: Dustin Keller PPR league. And as you can see I like to build my bench with potential.
So a guy wants to trade me Reggie Wayne for Ronnie, i think Ronnie is gonna have a huge year, but getting a WR/QB combo would be sweet and i have good RB depth.... i dont think i am gonna do it, but am i valuing Ronnie too much and should i do the deal?
I'm not nuts about your receivers. Johnson's a star, of course, but Driver is in decline and Edwards is like playing Russian Roulette. Chambers and Coles don't impress me even a little. But your RBs and QB are fantastic, so you should contend. I'd probably pull the trigger, though for entirely different reasons: First, a QB/WR combo isn't sweet. It just means you're putting more eggs in the same basket. Your big weeks will be better and your bad weeks will be worse. It only makes sense if the Colts are playing a particularly poor defense during your league playoffs. Personally, I like to spread my risk out more and would just as soon AVOID the QB/WR combo where possible, though I certainly wouldn't turn away a good player like Wayne for that reason. Second, try to remember that Ronnie still has a checkered injury history, still hasn't carried a football more than 241 times in one season, still shares a backfield with Ricky Williams and had almost half his TDs in one game last year. He's a good running back, but don't go nuts over him. You should find a way to get Fred Jackson if possible. Remember that Lynch will be out for the first three games, and Jackson played VERY well in his stead last season. Do that and you probably won't miss Ronnie at all.
Not bad for a 12-team league. You picked up two of my favorite mid-round guys: Stewart and Norwood. Your QBs are terrible, though. Ryan is the new Troy Aikman: much better IRL than in fantasy leagues. I'd run, not walk, away from Garrard.
