Matthews is out, and Mendenhall.

scottyboy · 08-26-2012, 09:47 PM

doughie, i'd start Bush at RB and flex Rice or DHB. well until Mendenhall gets back. I'm not a Pats RB fan

bearfan · 08-26-2012, 09:57 PM

Bump on this:

Just did a 10 person draft today, plz give some feed back as I may have another 10 person draft next weekend. Picked 4th:

QB: A. Rodgers (1)
RB: M. Lynch (2), A. Peterson (3), B. Green-Ellis (7), K. Smith, Ryan Williams
WR: Nicks (4), Colston (5), S. Johnson (6), R. Wayne (8), R. Meachem, B. Quick (last)
TE: J. Cook
K: Gould
D/ST: Giants

Let me know!

Docta · 08-26-2012, 10:11 PM

Great WR corps. Don't know about having Lynch as your #1, and Peterson's going to miss time. Smith just got injured, too. Based on what fenikz has posted, you got a steal with Williams as your 5th RB.

Thanks

I think you got solid value throughout. While I don't like some of the players personally (Nicks, Peterson, Colston), I think this team should make playoffs. TE is the only obvious weak point. I approve of Rodgers at 4, that would have been my choice as well.

Also not all positions had to be drafted so I took a shot at the end as opposed to drafting a kicker.

QB: Matt Stafford
RB: DeMarco Murray
RB: Darren Sproles
WR: Brandon Lloyd
WR: Antonio Brown
TE: Kyle Rudolph
Flex: Doug Martin
D/ST: Texans
Bench: Peyton Manning, Russell Wilson, Peyton Hillis, DeAngelo Williams, Alfred Morris, Titus Young, Kendall Wright

Really nice team I think. I'd probably try to move either Stafford or Peyton for a true WR1.

holt_bruce81 · 08-26-2012, 10:13 PM

What kind of suspension should Lynch be expecting? Should the people drafting him also take Turbin in the later rounds just in case?

What's not to like about Colston? He's the best receiver on a high-powered offense.

A lot of people are thinking he will avoid the suspension entirely for 2012.

I don't hate him per se, I just prefer the other WR in his tier more than him. His knees scare me and when I have had him in the past, I was always frustrated game-to-game with Brees spreading it around so much.

BaLLiN · 08-26-2012, 10:49 PM

QB: Mike Vick
WR: Julio Jones, Marques Colston
RB: Arian Foster, DeMarco Murray
TE: Rob Gronkowski
W/R/T: Doug Martin

K: Stephen Gostkowski
DEF: Houston
D: Daryl Washington

Bench:
Jeremy Maclin
Titus Young
Cedric Benson
Mike Williams (TB)
Jacquizz Rodgers
Josh Freeman

I know most people don't like Mike Vick, but i got him very very late, and feel good with that risk. I wanted to take David Wilson (NYG) but someone nabbed him right before me, so i took cedric benson, would you trade benson for wilson straight up if you were me? Gimme some input please

Edit: oh and i had the 5th pick and got Foster because people in my league draft QB's really high

You only had to pick 1 IDP?

Your team is great. I definitely think your team is the favorite even without knowing how many teams are in the league. And yes, I would trade Benson for Wilson straight up.

Bulldogs · 08-26-2012, 11:14 PM

Just did my Dynasty League draft. I'm not a huge fan of drafting a QB early in almost all circumstances but loved the potential of Newton at pick #6 as he can be a dominant fantasy player for years. Overall I'd say I'm slightly unhappy with how my backs turned out, but this team could be good. 10 teams, standard settings. I did get alot of backs that could be great if an injury happened.

QB: Cam Newton (Rd 1)
RB: Jamaal Charles (Rd 3)
RB: Kevin Smith (Rd 7)
WR: Greg Jennings (Rd 4)
WR: Jeremy Maclin (Rd 5)
TE: Jimmy Graham (Rd 2)
Flex: Pierre Garcon (Rd 8)

K: Stephen Gostkowski
DEF: Ravens

Bench: Jonathan Stewart (Rd 6, didn't see his injury at the time)
Bench: David Wilson (Rd 9)
Bench: Ryan Williams (Rd 10)
Bench: Ben Tate (Rd 12)
Bench: Denarius Moore (Rd 11)
Bench: Evan Royster (Rd 13)

TheBoyWonder22 · 08-26-2012, 11:32 PM

So I was going to move Peyton Manning and Miles Austin for a RB. What tier of guy should I expect in return?

Reggie Bush/Shonn Greene/BJGE area. Steven Jackson/Frank Gore at most, if you're lucky.

I'd say wait after week 3 you'll be able to get double.

RB Marshawn Lynch, SEA
TE Jermichael Finley, GB
FLEX Darren Sproles, NO

BN QB Andrew Luck, IND

Mufasa · 08-27-2012, 01:13 AM

Seems like a fair trade for both sides. I'd probably do it. Murray should be a decent enough upgrade over Lynch and you probably wouldn't be starting Wayne too often anyway. Titus Young should be a good reserve WR option this year to cover you when you need it.

holt_bruce81 · 08-27-2012, 01:52 AM

Rank these running backs...

DeMarco Murray, Steven Jackson, Marshawn Lynch, Trent Richardson

Everyone has Lynch pretty much as a top 15 selection, but I'm having a tough time seperating him from Steven Jackson, why is he going so much higher than Steven? Jackson is as constistent as they come and looks as good as ever this preseason.

Not sure if it's my Rams love or Seahawks hate getting in the way or a little of both, just trying to understand why there's been so much support for Lynch.

Mufasa · 08-27-2012, 02:18 AM

Richardson
Murray
Jackson
Lynch

I'm not anywhere near as high on Lynch as most. He had a career year last year, but I doubt he repeats it. He'll have 800-1000 yards and about 7 or 8 TDs. Still good for a fantasy back, but not the same upside as the others.

Don't do that. Unless it's a free league and you're that much of a homer but that's Calvin territory.

Bush isn't a bad back to have but it worries me that you first picked one in the 5th. Redman isn't special, Ingram is on the wrong team, Jennings is irrelevant once MJD returns. Worry.
