In my home $$$ league, I took third. I had a pretty tough year and really had to scramble just to make the playoffs. Mainly, injuries killed me.
Here's my roster at the beginning of the year (start, 1QB, 1RB, 2 WR, 2 WR/RB, 1 TE)
QB - Newton, Roethlisburger
RB - Vereen, Spiller, Pearce, Dunbar
WR - Green (keeper), Jeffrey (keeper), Desean Jackson, Wallace, Hunter, Baldwin
TE - Graham (keeper)
K - Bailey
DL - Greg Hardy, Cameron Jordan
LB - Burfict, Laurinitis, Briggs
DB - Reid, Mathieu
End of year roster:
QB - Newton, Romo
RB - Vereen, Crowell, Stewart, West, Andre Williams
WR - Jeffrey, Desean Jackson, Mike Evans, Beckham, Stills
TE - Graham
K - Dawson
DL - Cameron Jordan
LB - Laurinitis, Barr, Carter, Clowney, Lofton
DB - Chancellor
As you can see, more than half of my roster turned over. And, of those guys, Barr and Clowney didn't even finish the year. We have a 10 move cap and I had to scramble and make some trades to gain some moves. Picking up Beckham allowed me to move AJ Green for some moves.
I lost in the semi finals by 3 points because Lofton and Jordan combined for 2 whole points. If I would have advanced to the finals I would have won.
Here's my season in a nutshell: Fred Jackson goes down with a groin injury. Yay! Spiller is the man. Next play he breaks off a 50+ yard run and promptly breaks his collarbone. The Bills don't place him on season-ending IR, so I am not able to use our one free IR move. So I have to spend one of my 10 picks on to replace him.
We can carry over 3 players in to next year and with our league being a little more receiver friendly, I'm leaning on Beckham, Evans and Jeffrey - and will try to trade Graham to move up in the draft.
