What kind of game do you think Rashad Jennings has? No ppr. I'm hoping for at least 8 points but that may be wishful thinking.

[SuperPacker]

6 points would be my guess, but has the potential to have higher.

15 carries, 50 yards. 3 catches, 14 yards.

So about 6...7...

Starting lineup

QB: Matt Schuab
RB: Ray Rice
RB: Trent Richardson
WR: Julio Jones
WR: Vincent Jackson
TE: Brandon Pettigrew

Bench
Doug Martin
Stevan Ridley
Pierre Garcon
Laurant Robinson

Got offered Wes Welker for Doug Martin and Vjax

PPR league I'm waiting till week one is over to start entertaining more offers and people are getting desperate in my league since they need RBs.

I would jump on that trade if you had some more certainty at RB aka not Trent Richardson. Although he's talented, he's still a rookie. I think I would still pull the trigger, though. Welker is a PPR beast and essentially worth a first rounder. Let the other team rely on the Bucs offense, and reap the benefits of a Julio/Welker combo.

[sbh15]

what do you guys think about this...

John Skelton
Darrius Heyward-Bey

for

Jake Locker

QB's are huge in this league and we can start two. Right now DHB occupies the spot I'd start Locker in, so is this worth it? also, PPR with small bonuses for long TD

[Bob Sanders Dreadlock]

Drafting 11th in a 12 team league. No idea who to draft. Never drafted this low

[Mufasa]

Gronkowski/Graham, and then best RB available.

it is an option I do play in a league that starts 3 wr 2 rb 1 te and a flex. I just dont know if they can be as close to as good as they were last year

[niel89]

Did my draft yesterday with my keepers of Graham, Roddy, Jennings & Demaryius Thomas. 10 teams keeping 4 players. Ended up with:

1QB 2Rb 3WR 1TE 1K 1DEF

QB: Romo, Luck
WR: Roddy, Jennings, Demaryius Thomas, DHB
RB: Gore, Reggie Bush, McGahee, Hillis, Redman, Felix Jones
TE: Graham
K:Gould
Def: Pitt

I grabbed Luck at #5 overall because I love him and he is a good keeper pick. I'm actually happy how my RBs turned out considering what was actually available. Got Romo super late so he should be the starter for now. I'm talking to swap Demaryius Thomas for Torrey Smith as well.

Thoughts?

I'd go best RB available, and then Graham/Gronk. It's not like they got easier to guard over the offseason. There have been people saying that AH surpassed Gronk as Brady's #1 target, but Belichick's probably just ******* with them.

But if Brady, Megatron, or Brees drop, I'd take them.

[TitansCJftw]

1st pick **** who do i take

[SuperPacker]

A-Rod no questions.

[saintsfan912]

Got him 3rd in 2 leagues and would pick him #1 overall if I had the choice. It's a QB driven league now, might as well have one of the best.

[tjsunstein]

Aaron Rodgers, #1. Not injury prone like a RB, elite production at a high scoring position.

[fenikz]

Brady over Rodgers imo, but i would go rb

[Bob Sanders Dreadlock]

Ok finished my final draft of the season. Suckered into 3 leagues again this year. here is the results of the one I just did.

12 team league- Start 1 QB 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, Flex, K, Def, IDP

QB- Matt ryan
RB- Run DMC, Steven jackson, J-Stew, David Wilson, Donald Brown, Ryan Williams
WR- Harvin, T. Smith, Britt, T. Young, DHB, G Little
TE- Gronk, Graham
K Henery
IDP- Earl Thomas
Def-Chefs

Thoughts?

[Rob S]

I have 1st pick in my draft tomorrow and I'm going with Foster.

[tjsunstein]

I'm fortunate that in my big money league my decision was made for me when Rodgers, McCoy, and Rice went 1,2,3. I had 4th.

Make sure you pick up Ben Tate then. If Foster goes down you won't lose much.

[holt_bruce81]

Would you drop Kevin Smith after week 2? Or hope someone bites on a trade? I really think Leshoure sees most of the carries when he comes back from being suspended.

My RBs are: Chris Johnson, Trent Richardson, Ryan Mathews, Kevin Smith, Ryan Williams.

I really want to package Kevin Smith and a receiver for Peyton Hillis or do you think I should just drop Smith and pickup a guy with some potential, like a Royster or Taiwan Jones? or maybe even a Dwyer.

[Brothgar]

Remember when debating your first round pick it isn't who will score the most points it is who will score the most compared to who you get in round 2. Draft a RB more than likely Ray Rice.

[themaninblack]

I would start BGJE over Rashad Jennings fwiw. He's going to be the main horse in the Bengals stable and he will be used on the goal line almost exclusively.

[pierce2walker]

Just finished a 10 team auction. Standard Scoring and you start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Def, 1 K. Everyone in the league is pretty competent, so its nobody is ending up with a stacked team. I ended up with...

QB: Stafford
RB: D-Mac
RB: Fred Jackson
WR: Greg Jennings
WR: Hakeem Nicks
WR: Titus Young/Denarius Moore
TE: Gates

Bench:
McGahee, Donald Brown, Ridley, Moore/Young, Roethlisberger.

This is the first time we went to an auction draft (have had the same league together for a bunch of years). It was pretty tough because it felt almost every player had at least 1 guy who was going after them aggressively.

My initial goal was to try and snag a top QB and a top TE, but they got massively overpaid for as did Foster/Rice/McCoy.

I ended up snagging D-Mac for a solid value, so since I went that route I decided to invest a decent amount in good backup RBs. I feel like my one weak spot is that 3rd WR spot, but I'm hoping either Young or Moore breaks out and I'll also be patrolling the early waiver wire to see if anyone is having an unexpectedly big year.

What do you guys think?
