Don't know how bold this is now after his preseason, but I see gostkowski finally coming off his thrown this season. Something is messed up in that guys head since the playoffs last year.

that one rated me average. says I'm weak at WR and kicker. I have Seattle's kicker who is ranked #2 basically everywhere so I don't get that part. They don't like Tyrod either. but if I had reached on a qb early, they REALLY wouldn't like my receivers.

I guess the only way I could have appeased those analyzers is go wr,wr,wr,wr literally. I took 3 straight wr's after Ezekial and 7 total.

I briefly considered taking Jordy and Brandon Marshall instead of Ezekial and Jordy. But I honestly felt like Ezekial was the best available player so I went with it.

What is your starting lineup (and notable backups) and how many teams?

most likely for week 1

Tyrod Taylor
Ezekial elliot
Jordy Nelson
Julian Edelmen
Donte moncrief
coby fleener
Steven Hauschka
Carolina defense

Woodhead is my backup to Ezekial amd I'm considering starting him week one instead of edelmen. I'm afraid he will really struggle until brady gets back.

On the bench

Danny woodhead
Charles Sims
Travis Benjamin
will fuller
tajae Sharpe
sterling Shepherd
Austin safarian Jenkins
and took a flyer with Dak Prescott as my last pick with the emphasis on rushing qbs in my league



For the record. I think my team is average. I think for the most part,minus a couple small missteps, I made the best with what was available for me. I firmly believe that picking last this season, especially for ppr, puts you at a big disadvantage immediately.

For example. the guy who picked 3rd overall's starting wr's are Julio jones, Sammy watkins, and Jarvis Landry. pretty filthy

12 team league and you only start 4 combined RB/WR's? Ugh, really don't like that format. Think you need 6 starters for those 2 positions, especially nowadays where so many WR's can provide value and so many RB's can come out of nowhere. A lot of those WR's on your bench even if they can pop off a little aren't likely to make much difference in this league.

I'd probably cut Dak and ASJ and just get 2 handcuff RB's that could have real value with an injury. Don't really need a backup QB/TE for awhile.

Charles Sims might be the steal of the draft once Martin implodes .

Chop you got ruined by Greenbacks. Was neck and neck in the high 35k post range but you didn't have the will to win and now he is lapping you in volume.

I think I had over 20k post 10 years ago.

So it took me about 8 years to get the next 15.

So I've been past my prime years ago.

I wish it would show the actual post number at the time you make the post.

What I mean is my last post was #36043.
When I make my next post which is this one it's gonna be 36044.
I wish the last one would stay at 36043 but it's gonna show the same 36044.

I would love to read my first post ever. Have no idea how to look it up.

Dont even remember what I said .

JC wasn't around so I wasn't bashing him.
Drew Brees was at San Diego so it could not be that.
I did not know who Roger Goodell was at the time so I was not bashing him.

I have no idea what I said.

Hey Patsfan did you hear about the big trade in the 500 league I made?

Had the 2nd overall pick and traded it for the 13th and 14th pick. What you think about that ?
That gave NBA capper the 1st and 2nd pick of the draft

I don't see any reason for more rb when I'm only starting one a week most of the time. the goal is get as many upside wr on bench as possible and hope one of them goes off. def not dropping dak right now in the off chance his preseason was the real deal. rushing qb's are gold in my league. I thought about dropping ASJ for redskins 3rd down rb, Chris Thompson. But if fleener somehow turns out to be a total bust I'd be in trouble.

If you only start 1 QB then the baseline is going to be really high in a 12 team league. I like Dak so maybe holding onto him makes some sense but in general I'd want to trade some of those bench guys in for more lottery tickets because with the small starting lineups those are the only type of guys who are going to be able to make headway in your league.

Freeman, D Johnson, Rawls last year. You want to try to get some lottery ticket guys like that. Having the next Stefon Diggs on your bench just isn't going to do much. "Impact" RB's like that come out of nowhere more than impact WR's.

Even if Fleener busts, I'd assume the waiver wire always has ASJ-like caliber TE's.

Sims, Benjamin, fuller, Shephard are all lottery type guys imo. In Sims case, he will be ppr monster if Martin goes down

those 3 wr I mention could all be huge if the #1 WR on their teams got hurt

I think you could sell high on Dak, qbs are easy to get.
