I can't recall exactly but I'm guessing I only deposited about $25, so probably bet about $15 over 2 or 3 contests that first week and tripled that up. I'll have to check later

My team in TJ's pay league. Not terribly excited but I don't think it's terrible.

 

[SP33Demon]

My work league team - 10 players

Nick Foles
Andy Dalton

Matt Forte
Pierre Thomas
Steven Jackson
Doug Martin
Shane Vereen

Demaryius Thomas
Randall Cobb
Andre Johnson
DeSean Jackson
Terrance Williams

Greg Olsen

Nick Folk

Chicago Bears


Went WR and RB crazy as usual. 2WR/2RB/1W/R league. I usually go week to week with Defenses depending on opponents. Not sure how I'm feeling though, didn't read up as much as usual.

Already in 1 other NFL.com league, will probably join 2 more last minute for shits and giggles.

Very solid team, especially if PPR with Vereen and P.Thomas. Although not enamored with Dalton but he's just your backup for 1 week so who cares.

 

[SP33Demon]

you forgot your citations

Pro Football Focus, ESPN (usually Berry), Rotoworld (usually Silva), and some numberfire for statistical analysis on positional tiers.

Not bad doug, but I have to say I actually like my team in that league this year. Even though my keepers were not very good, I feel like I did pretty well in the auction.

12 team, 0.5 PPR, #8 pick. Will be interesting to see if Randle will become the target and/or red zone monster that some people are speculating he could be in Hakeem Nicks' old role. Jeremy Hill could also be a big score if Cincy babies Gio's carries or Gio goes down under a heavy workload. Ertz is predicted to do big things, had to choose between he and Kelce and Ertz is in a higher powered offense with a better OLine.

This is KT's keeper/auction draft with 2 flex spots and one can hold 2nd QB. Only person i kept was Garcon for $3. Foster was sort of a mistake. I was just trying to up his value and got stuck with him. Hopefully he performs lol. Defense was autopick as i went to the bathroom. I can play waiver matchups on that one i guess. TE might be abit weak also. Maybe something better on waivers.

QB- Andrew Luck
WR- Pierre Garcon
WR- Terrance Williams
RB- Matt Forte
RB- Arian Foster
TE- Ladarius Green
W/R/T- C.J. Spiller
Q/W/R/T- Tony Romo
DEF- Detroit
K- Connor Barth

BN- Rueben Randle
BN- Jarret Boykin
BN- Matt Ingram
BN- Knowshon Moreno
BN- Markus Wheaton
BN- Geno Smith

Garcon at $3 was an awesome keeper considering it is also a PPR league. He will catch a lot of balls this year.

I'll throw my team in:

QB- Tom Brady
WR- Jeremy Maclin
WR- Kendall Wright
RB- Le'Veon Bell
RB- Reggie Bush
TE- Dennis Pitta
W/R/T- Shane Vereen
Q/W/R/T- Russell Wilson

Wish I could have afforded Kelvin. Here's mine from that league. Do like the fact I have some very viable (and cheap) keepers for next year.

QB - Andy Dalton
QB - Joe Flacco
QB - Derek Carr

WR - Alshon Jeffery
WR - Jordy Nelson
WR - Michael Floyd
WR - Justin Hunter
WR - Marqise Lee

RB - DeMarco Murray
RB - Adrian Peterson
RB - Carlos Hyde
RB - Devonta Freeman

TE - Jordan Reed
TE - Travis Kelce

DEF - Cincinnati
K - Mason Crosby

 

[KeithTalent]

I really wanted Michael Floyd; could not afford him though. That Derek Carr grab is sure looking good now.

KT

 

[dougp]

Yeah, I wanted Floyd as well but I wasn't going to pay that high. Really wishing I had a 3rd QB right about now.

What is the point of Q/W/R/T vs just having a 2nd QB league? I.e. would anyone ever play a W/R/T over a QB2 (in standard scoring)? Especially with the QB depth we've seen lately.

Helps in bye weeks, some of us only grabbed 2 QBs.

Yeah this, also QB scoring is slightly depressed in this league so they do not provide quite the disparity in scoring as they would in normal scoring leagues.

Ah ok, cool.

 

[Kev]

My first auction draft, $200 budget with standard scoring. I think I did pretty well. My WRs are pretty mediocre but everyone was waaaay overvaluing receivers in the draft for some reason. I love that I got Matt Ryan AND Russel Wilson when Peyton Rodgers andManning each went for over 50.

Jamaal Charles, KC RB $65
Toby Gerhart, Jac RB $22
C.J. Spiller, Buf RB $20
Victor Cruz, NYG WR $13
Justin Tucker, Bal K $1
Russell Wilson, Sea QB $5
Joique Bell, Det RB $19
Bishop Sankey, Ten RB $7
Fred Jackson, Buf RB $5
Matt Ryan, Atl QB $4
Cardinals D/ST D/ST $4
Eric Decker, NYJ WR $10
Greg Olsen, Car TE $7
Terrance Williams, Dal WR $10
Sammy Watkins, Buf WR $1
Lamar Miller, Mia RB $5

Which site did you use? I think I have $25 on Draftstreet I need to use up.

 

[slayer202]

pretty sure it was fanduel

Ah. And its Draft Kings now.. guess my money got rolled over. I'll have to look into Fan Duel.

I like how yahoo has one of my teams ranked 7th in a 12 team league with a draft grade of B yet projects me going 9-5.

Where'd you get your draft grades? I haven't received my normal email or anything yet.

Yeah I was trying to find the grades there and in ESPN and could not find anything. Not that it means anything, but I find it interesting/amusing.
