Bell for 49? Seems like a lot compared to your WRs. Williams won't perform enough to merit a spot soon enough, but for a 14-teamer, I like how you ended up.

All the top RBs went for a ton. AP-74, McCoy-70, Lacy-70, Charles-68, Forte-66, Lynch-53, Bernard-51, Ball-51, Murray-50, Ellington-49

Yeah I mean to me it's a misstep to go with bell over ball, bernard, Murray or lynh for similar prices but Vereen was a good buy and I think you're in decent shape for a 14 teamer

[chancellor]

Moreno and Maclin are really good buys, IMO. I like your team for a 14-teamer.

I would have preferred the first four over Bell at his price, and maybe Ellington as well. I don't see Bell getting the volume he did last year, or enough of the goal-line opportunities. If Blount gets hurt, then it's a different story.

I like Hill, Vereen and Moreno at their prices, though, and you could be OK at RB even if Bell underperforms.

Four Eagles is an interesting strategy. I don't think their D will be any great shakes for fantasy purposes (though they have a nice Week 1 matchup vs. JAX), but I like the other three picks. As I said in the Pay for Play discussion thread, I think Ertz has Graham-like upside, but his production from week-to-week is likely to be very inconsistent, because the offense has a lot of weapons and Brent Celek will get his fair share of the TE targets (a factor that the fantasy community hasn't accounted for at all.)

Thanks for the feedback fellas.

Yea, I only went with the D because of their 1st week opponent, hoping I can play matchups on D.

As for Bell, I wanted to stay under $50 to stick with my plan, and he was the first A-tier RB that went for under $50. I wouldn't have gone to $51 on him. Murray hadn't been tossed yet, nor had Ellington or Bernard, but all three of those guys are pretty well-hyped so I couldn't be sure they weren't all going to go mid-50s or higher.

Speaking of Ds, the Broncos weren't drafted, but they're playing Indy week 1. Lions (vs Giants), Ravens (vs Browns), and Bucs (vs Panthers) also were undrafted. Are any of these significant upgrades?

Someone just dropped Big Ben...he's probably an upgrade over Tannehill?

Yes on both the Bronco D and Big Ben.

[Trautdiggity]

Yes on both the Bronco D and Big Ben.

Agree

Well, my squad put up 160 pts, should net me a 1st week prize. Hopefully I didn't blow my wad, but feeling pretty happy.

I picked up Ben, Broncos and Josh Gordon.

I hope we see more of that from Ryan, because I have him in one league (and started R. Wilson instead).
