I love Jennings but he's not in the top tier. The top 4 are obvious to me, Dre, Roddy, CJ, Fitzgerald.

The Packers are kind of like the Saints in that they spread the ball

VBM

14 team league, non-ppr, all TDs worth 6 points, 2nd overall pick

QB: Matthew Stafford
RB: Ray Rice (AP went #1, and Foster hamstring issues kept me from picking him)
RB: Steven Jackson
WR: Vincent Jackson
WR: Wes Welker
WR: Julio Jones
TE: Jared Cook
K: Matt Bryant
D/ST: Cleveland (matchup play vs. Cincy Week 1)

Bench:

RB: Mike Tolbert
RB: James Starks
RB: Ricky Williams
WR: Jacoby Ford
WR: Emmanuel Sanders
WR: Harry Douglas

I really like it, Stafford is looking like a good value where you're getting him. I think Rice is going to have a big year, Julio might have a good year, Jared Cook has a ton of hype, Tolbert on the bench is nice, and handcuffing Julio with Harry Douglas was pretty smart. One of those two is going to have a good season.

10-team, PPR, No kickers, Auction Draft ($200 budget)

QB: Peyton Manning ($13) - had to take him for that price, his brother went for $12
RB: Maurice Jones-Drew ($50)
RB: Jahvid Best ($17) - added value in a PPR format
RB/WR: Wes Welker ($13) - felt like this was a very good price for a PPR league
WR: Mike Wallace ($21)
WR: Steve Johnson ($12)
WR/TE: Brandon Lloyd ($11)
TE: Antonio Gates ($7) - steal of the draft IMO
D/ST: Falcons ($3)

BEN: Josh Freeman ($3) - solid starter for the first couple of weeks if not more
BEN: Felix Jones ($18)
BEN: Ryan Grant ($16) - another good value in a PPR format despite his temporary demotion
BEN: Daniel Thomas ($5) - always have to take an upside back
BEN: Brandon Marshall ($11)

On paper, I like my team. I'm worried about the injury risk with Stafford, but that team is so pass-happy I was willing to gamble on him (rather than taking Peyton at the beginning of the 3rd (where I went with S-Jax instead). The only other decision I may regret is waiting on TE (I had a shot at Owen Daniels, but went with Julio Jones instead).

Like the lineup...hopefully Daniel Thomas pans out for you. I think I'd start Fred Jackson at flex over Mathews simply because Mathews is splitting reps and won't see any goalline carries. Not a huge fan of Cutler either.


In a ppr, getting MJD, Felix, Welker and Best is insane. Gates was damn cheap too, esp. since he's the defacto #1 in SD. Throw in Peyton, who should be solid after a slow first couple of games, and you've got a title-caliber team.

I think I have the best team. This is what the second best team looks like, IMO.

QB: Matt Ryan
RB: Jamaal Charles
RB: Rashard Mendenhall
RB/WR: Fred Jackson
WR: Greg Jennings
WR: Dez Bryant
WR/TE: Mike Sims-Walker
TE: Jermichael Finley
D/ST: Patriots

BEN: Ben Roethlisberger
BEN: Ricky Williams
BEN: Jordy Nelson
BEN: James Jones
BEN: Steve Smith (PHI)

I have no idea why he took the whole Packers passing game. And then I guess this is the third best team:

QB: Philip Rivers
RB: Steven Jackson
RB: Ahmad Bradshaw
RB/WR: Shonn Greene
WR: Larry Fitzgerald
WR: DeSean Jackson
WR/TE: Plaxico Burress
TE: Rob Gronkowski
D/ST: Eagles

BEN: Joe Flacco
BEN: Tim Hightower
BEN: Malcom Floyd
BEN: AJ Green
BEN: Santana Moss

I like my team against those two by a nose, and I love it against the rest of the field.

$7 for Antonio Gates? Is that a typo?

7 dollars for Gates is a joke.

Most overall fantasy points in the league week one. Peyton has since been dropped in favor of Kevin Kolb.

One year later, going for the 3-peat (and 4th ring out of the last 5 years). 14 teams, non-ppr, 6pt passing TDs. 2nd pick (the lotto gods were kind).

WR: Kenny Britt (see Mathews)
WR: Denarius Moore
TE: Aaron Hernandez
K: Matt Bryant
DEF: ATL (will stream)

Bench:
QB: Andrew Luck
QB: Jake Locker
RB: Kevin Smith (will start for Mathews)
RB: Evan Royster
RB: Isiah Pead (will prob. drop him when undrafted players are off waivers)
WR: Kendall Wright (will start while Britt is out)

Big fan of Foster, Hernandez and Jones for this season so good call on those picks. Cutler at QB is a little shaky though. You never know what your going to get from him and in a 14 team league with passing TD's worth 6, I wouldn't feel too comfortable with Cutler starting on my team but overall it's a solid squad for sure.

Here's my team I drafted last night in a 14 team, non ppr, standard scoring league.

QB- Aaron Rodgers
WR- Dwyane Bowe
WR- Miles Austin
RB- Adrian Peterson
RB- Trent Richardson
FLEX- Doug Martin
TE- Coby Fleener
K- Nate Kaeding
DEF- San Francisco

Bench:
WR Denarius Moore
WR Kendall Wright
RB David Wilson
RB Toby Gerhart
TE Kyle Rudolph
QB Carson Palmer

Yeah, QBs went early and often. I was planning on taking Vick in the 3rd, but when Mathews fell to my 3rd round spot, I had to draft him.

Rodgers is obviously going to keep you competitive every week. All three of your RBs have some questions, but the upside is off the charts. Hopefully the Cowboys take it easy with Austin and let him fully heal up. I'm really hoping Kendall Wright pays off...he's looked good this offseason.
