Here's a place where we get to compare and evaluate each other's fantasy football teams. Just post your team and a blurb about it.

I had my first draft today. Yahoo Public league (standard scoring, 10 team league):

1.8 - LaDainian Tomlinson (ADP: 7.7)
2.3 - Chris Johnson (ADP: 8.5)
3.8 - Dwayne Bowe (ADP: 30.2)
4.3 - Wes Welker (ADP: 31.8)
5.8 - Chad Ochocinco (ADP: 40.1)
6.3 - Marshawn Lynch (ADP: 42.0)
7.8 - Reggie Bush (ADP: 43.3)
8.3 - DeSean Jackson (ADP: 54.7)
9.8 - Matt Ryan (ADP: 70.9)
10.3 - Kellen Winslow Jr. (ADP: 71.5)
11.8 - Cedric Benson (ADP: 71.0)
12.3 - Ted Ginn Jr. (ADP: 102.6)
13.8 - Jets Defense (ADP: 122.9)
14.3 - Brady Quinn (ADP: 131.6)
15.8 - Robbie Gould (ADP: 142.8)

ADP as per Fantasy Football Calculator

Of course, it's pretty easy to get good value when a Giants homer picks the Giants defense in the 6th round and a kicker in the 9th. Two other teams also picked kickers in the 9th round.

it's pretty solid when you can get starting RB's in the 11th, looks good throughout and should be instant win. what i like this year is that there's enough QB depth that you can wait on Ryan while people are jumping on the likes of Warner, Rivers and Rodgers who'll regress imo

and unless i'm in a league where you pay to make transactions, I don't even bother drafting kickers nowadays

CJ3/Cinco/Lynch/DJax/Benson all nice values. Hell I like CJ3 more than LT2.

Maybe someone can set me straight here. I've done tons of mocks on calculator and never have any of Bowe/TO/Housh/VJax on my team. They always get taken immediately after Boldin/Colston and I just feel like they're closer to Cinco/RWilliams/Braylan/DJax who you can obv. get much later.

Agree but I'd replace Ryan with McNabb/Romo/Schaub. Don't understand why Ryan is ranked ahead of them.

Always give the scoring format, what positions you play etc. otherwise it's impossible to evaluate.
Edit: nevermind, missed the "standard scoring"..now I've gotta lookup what yahoo standard is heh

Matt Ryan is in line to have a really good season. I think signing Tony Gonzalez is an indicator of the team going for a more balanced attack rather than just handing the ball to Michael Turner 400 times a season.

Romo lost his #1 buddy, McNabb is aging and I have never been high on Schaub. Ryan is going much later than he should be this season. He has great value in the middle rounds.

As for the WRs, I think you're just splitting hairs. The difference in value between those receivers is not that big.

He isn't, McNabb and Romo are typically going a bit before him, but I don't like either this year. Schaub is going about the same time as Ryan, maybe a touch later.

I get that Romo's #'s will go down. But by how much? Dude has been elite.

I highly doubt Rodgers regresses. I expect another step forward if anything.

dont know why yall are down on schaub. he has fantastic per game numbers. his per pass and completion % is very good. his bulk is down a bit due to injuries but i dont think he has any lingering problems.

this will be his 3rd year starting and he is entering his prime with andre johnson, steve slaton, walter and daniels.

ryan looks to be good value as well. i think schaub is less risky with similar ceiling tho.

really the only QBs in pretty much any top 10 that I'm not high on are Warner and Romo. I expect Rivers and Rodgers to both hold steady if not improve, and Schaub and Ryan who are both at the helms of VERY potent offenses should be better. if Schaub could just stay healthy, and hit Walter, AJ, and Slaton all day... he could easily push a top 5 position iyam.

as for your team Bob: pretty good team it looks like.

anyone, what's the deal with Lynch? is he still top dog in Buffalo? is he going to be losing goalline touches to Jackson?

I'd expect the the same as last year where Jackson gets 30-40% of the work. I think they signed Rhodes to relieve Jackson for the 1st 3 games and I doubt he'll see the field after that. I dunno why Lynch would lose goaline carries as he's the better short yardage guy.

jackson is a smaller, quicker, 3rd down type back. lynch is a huge beastly mofo. doubt that they would go to fjax at the gl.

Rivers jumped from a 61% completion rate to a 65.3% rate last year and his TD% was 7.1% which was tops in the league by a lot (Dallas and NO had 5.3% and tied for 2nd place). Its unlikely that Rivers takes a fantasy step forward this year unless his team winds up throwing 100 more times this year. The Chargers scored an abnormally high number of points (2nd in the league) compared to their number of offensive plays (29th). Rodgers has more room to improve I would guess since he's only started one year and none of his stats scream outlier (or variance) the way that a few of Rivers' stats do.

Of course rivers does get to feast on Denver, KC and Oaklands' Ds 6 times a year- but I still expect a regression in TD% this year for Rivers and something more like 28-30 total TDs instead of 34.

How is the 29th most plays last year a bad thing? Isn't that likely to increase with a better defense?

To me his health history is enough to give him an edge over Rodgers/Warner but I don't think I like any of them for where you have to get them; and I'm obv. a fan of McNabb/Romo/Schaub.

i must be confusing lynch/jackson with another RB combo. i thought i remembered jackson getting more looks than what his stats say. and 137 of his yards came from week 17 vs. ne.

It implies that they were breaking a ton of big plays which are probably unsustainable. For example 5 receiving TDs for Sproles on 29 receptions. Tomlinson once had 4 receiving TDs in a year and that was on 100 receptions, that's the best RB of a generation who has averaged 60+ receptions a year for 8 years and he never had 5 receiving TDs in a season. Mike Tolbert had a 67 yard Td reception, VJ a 60 yarder, Chambers and Floyd a 50 yarder each.

Its just that its easy to see regression in big plays and extremely hard to repeat them.

My first draft of the year. Pretty standard 12 team ppr league. 3 WR 2RB

I didn't even draft a DEF or K so I guess I'll be waiver wire watching.

QB: Jay Cutler, Matt Schuab

RB: MoJo, Slaton, R. Brown, McFadden, Wells

WR: CJ, Bowe, R.Williams, L. Moore, S. Holmes

TE: Cooley

Nice slew of RBs you have there.

Very good team, I think you'll be contesting for the title. Bowe may take a small hit if the Raiders unchain Aso and let him shadow WR1s all season long as planned.

Don't make the mistake to autoplay Cutler too much, Schaub will actually be better on a per game basis this year imo

I don't know how you got this team. You've got a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th round RB and a 2nd and 3rd round WR. Even if you got lucky and Bowe and Mcfadden each fell 2 rounds you still have to find enough picks to grab Wells, Culter, Schaub, Cooley, Roy and Santonio. In my wildest mock drafting dreams I wouldn't put this lineup on paper.

Thanks, guys
I was pretty happy with it but I drafted a team full of players I haven't had in the past, so I wondered if it was as good as I thought.

I'll have to trade to open up roster spots for DEF and K but I just couldn't bring myself to pick one with so many good position players left. I got Cutler and Schuab in the 11th and 12th rounds. Wells in the 13th.

If I had two more picks I still don't think I'd take a DEF or K because RBs still on the free agent list:

Moreno, Benson, J.Jones, Rice, McLain

lol draftaments.

wtf how did moreno not get drafted? hes better than wells at this point bc hes got a better track at starting.

Agreed on Moreno >> Wells. I'm probably taking Hightower over Wells as of now tbh

Hightower sucks. IMO it's a mistake to get preoccupied with who starts the opening series of opening day. I can't see Wells not getting more work than Moreno over the course of the season.
