Fantasy Freaks!! How Did I Do???....

BLITZKRIEG · 08-31-2008, 07:48 PM

I play in a 16 team league, and was selecting 7th overall. Please remember that while playing in a league this large, being able to stock your roster with quality depth / reserve players, is much more difficult than it would normally be. It's a true challenge...

Starting line-up = QB / 2 RB's / 3 WR's / K / D
--------------------------------------------

1. WR T. Owens - DAL
2. WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh - CIN
3. RB W. Parker - PIT
4. WR D. Driver - GB
5. RB D. Williams - CAR
6. QB J. Cutler - DEN
7. WR D. Mason - BAL
8. RB K. Watson - CIN
9. QB C. Pennington - MIA
10. Defense - NYG
11. K J. Scobee - JAC
12. Defense - DEN
13. K M. Nugent - NYJ
**Wildcard selection** - WR D. Patten - NO
--------------------------------------------

All comments / opinions are welcome and appreciated. Thanks, and the best of luck to all you guys this year!!!....

3 WR's in the first 4 rounds? That is horrible drafting strategy. IMO you don't take a receiver until the 4th at the earliest.

Not in his league you wouldn't! His league starts 2 RB's and 3 Wr's. Nice pics w/ TO and Housh. I'm not real big on Driver or Mason this year though. Driver's gettin slowww.. QB's are kinda weak too. I've never played in a 16 team league before. That's awful tough to pick a solid team. Good luck w/ Parker. Mendenhall looks pretty good so I see him sharing the ball a bit. Hope you win!

Still I put the first 3 rds on RB's and a QB. 16 team leagues are dumb IMO.

Looks pretty good to me except the RB's might be a little questionable. I totally understand how tough it can be though in a 16 team draft.

Even trickier when drafting with that many teams is the waiver wire. Slim pickins. I was in a 20 team draft one year and it was a nightmare.

Pretty solid overall.

Good luck

yellow makes a good point. Last year butt-loads of good RBs went down with injuries. In a 16 team league, it'll be hard to replace those of the wire if your RBs go down. Better to be strong and deep at RB, I think.

But, assuming minimal impact due to above, I have to say you did well in getting Parker and Williams even after burning some good picks on quality WRs

Where are the TEs?

BLITZKRIEG · 08-31-2008, 11:38 PM

There are TE's used in my league...

My decision to take two stud WR's with my first two picks was a no brainer at the time. There was hardly a RB left on the board that wasn't in a two back system, and I had a good feeling there was a chance W. Parker could continue to fall {coming back around} considering he's coming off of an injury late last year...

I think the gamble of going WR / WR / RB paid off rather well. Those are some solid points no matter how you slice it....

They're not dumb, just more difficult / challenging than most traditional leagues....
