  • hdid #2 (i still like gronk too much)

    10-team, 6 pt passing TDs, full PPR, big rosters (2 QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, TE, 2 FLEX, K, DEF, 8 bench). I had the first pick, but we switch direction after round 2, so I had 1, 20, 30, 31, 50, 51, etc.

    QB: Andrew Luck (1), Marcus Mariota (91), Jameis Winston (111)
    WR: Julio Jones (20), AJ Green (30), Amari Cooper (50), Jeremy Maclin (70), Brian Quick (130), Dorial Green-Beckham (151), Brandon Coleman (170)
    RB: Lamar Miller (51), Arian Foster (71), Andre Ellington (90), Isaiah Crowell (110), Ryan Mathews (131), Darren McFadden (150)
    TE: Gronk (31), Julius Thomas (171)
    K: Cody Parkey (190)
    DEF: Carolina (191)

    note that Mariota at 91 was the 18th QB off the board.
    In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

    Love the WR group, you have 4 solid starters. But I think you hurt yourself taking Luck #1 overall, regardless of TDs being worth 6. I think I would have rather used that pick on one of the top running backs and used later picks in the 50 to 70 range on 2 QBs. Two rookie QBs, maybe one will pan out, but they usually don't.

    As for the running backs, better hope Foster comes back fast! Ellington that low was a score, but you need things to fall right for your backs for them to be productive overall.
    Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

      2 QB matters a lot here with 6 pt. When did the other abs go? I like the team:

        Interesting team- agree that Gronk at 31, even in this format, is a steal. An absolute steal.

        RBs are weak, but in a league this deep, you can't have everything. But you'll have monster production out of your top WB, TE, two WRs and good to decent scoring out of a RB and two WRs.
        I'm just here for the baseball.

          A starting lineup of to start the season of:

          QB: Luck
          RB: L. Miller
          RB: Ellington/Crowell
          WR: Julio
          WR: A.J. Green
          WR: Cooper
          Flex: Maclin
          Flex: Quick/Crowell
          TE: Gronkowski
          K: Parkey
          DEF: CAR

          Not too bad although I'll agree that you're light at RB until Foster comes back. Also agree that I wouldn't have taken Luck #1 overall even with 6pt for passing TDs. You still have a pretty solid squad with QB, WR and TE obviously all strengths. You may have to dump your back end WRs DGB and Coleman if a starting RB finds his way onto waivers.

          Good luck.
          14 Team 1/2PPR league (1 Keeper)

          QB: Rivers (3), Stafford (5), Keenum (NA)
          RB: Kamara (11), McKinnon (7), Bernard (7)
          WR: M. Thomas (NA), Crabtree (1), Shepard (8), Wallace (NA), Cobb (NA)
          TE: Olsen (NA)
          K: Lutz (7)
          DEF: JAX (7)

          (We start 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WRs, 1 RB/WR/TE, 1 TE, 1 K and 1 DEF)

            Due to the 2qb/6pt tds and full PPR, RBs go rather later than you'd expect. Also there's probably some groupthink going on; after a few years of the league QBs go earlier every year.

            If I had waited for 50-70 range my QBs would have been Dalton and Bridgewater.

            Other QBs:

            Luck 1
            Brady 2
            Rodgers 3
            Brees 4
            Wilson 6
            Roethlisberger 10
            PManning 11
            Ryan 12
            Rivers 14
            Palmer 17 (Lacy and Charles went 15/16)
            Bradford 18
            Romo 36
            Tannehill 42
            Newton 44
            EManning 46
            Stafford 49
            Dalton 64
            Bridgewater 83
            Carr 87
            Taylor 88
            Mariota 91
            Flacco 92
            Cutler 98
            Kaepernick 101
            Smith 103
            Foles 106
            Winston 110
            Cousins 138
            McCown 139
            Bortles 143
            Fitzpatrick 145
            Hoyer 175

            Entirely possible that I should have gone with Flacco or Cutler over Mariota but I like variance.

              Brady before Rodgers? Must be a Patriots fan there.
              Bob- I'm not exactly sure it would ROCK as you say it Byron.. it may be cool, by typical text book descriptions. Your opinion of this is shallow and poorly constructed, but allow me to re-craft your initial thought into something tangable.

                Sorry about that, I didn't notice the 2QB part. In a 2QB/6pts TD league, I would have absolutely taken Luck #1 overall.

                  btw, just looked at last year's results. We've gone way hyper on QBs now. Last year, five of the first ten picks were RBs, one WR, one TE, three QBs. This year it was six QBs, three RBs, and one WR.

                  Last year I got Romo at pick #53 and Rivers at #68; this year the QBs available that late were Dalton and Bridgewater.
