Fantasy Football draft was Friday night. PPR league with a premium put on QBs (6pts/TD) and TEs (smaller amount needed to kick in yardage bonuses). Here's how the team is looking:
Here is my Fantasy Team:
Rnd 1: Jamal Charles
Rnd 2: Jimmy Graham
Rnd 3: Roddy White
Rnd 4: Vincent Jackson
Rnd 5: Cam Newton
Rnd 6: David Wilson
Rnd 7: Heath Miller - didn't know he was out till Oct. Graham's bye week is late anyway.
Rnd 8: Kenny Britt - contract year, so it is now or never
Rnd 9: Texans Defense
Rnd 10: Andy Dalton
Rnd 11: Marcel Reese
Rnd 12: Garret Hartley
Rnd 13: Bucs Defense
Rnd 14: Steve Hauschka
Rnd 15: Ben Jarvis Green-Ellis
Rnd 16: Mohammed Sanu
4 QBs went in the first 7 picks of the first round, and I was amazed Jamal Charles was staring me in the face. W/ so many quality RBs left, Graham was there for me after the wrap around. Tough choice between him and Ray Rice, but a dominant TE is a HUGE help in my league so I couldn't pass him up. Next 2 picks I got the types of WRs I love to have: 1 possession guy and 1 home run hitter (our league gives insane bonus points for long scoring plays). Then Cam Newton, #7 scoring player in my league last year, in the 5th round was a tremendous bargain. It was a toss up between him and RG3, and I went with Newton because he has 2 healthy years under his belt, proving he is more durable than RG3. David Wilson, a starting RB with a ton of potential, was a lay up in round 6.
CBS Sports says I had the best draft in my league, based on scoring projections. They also gave a Matt Millen award to the guy with the worst draft. LOL.
I was happy to get Kenny Britt and Mohammed Sanu so late. Britt is in a contract year and a #1WR. No off season troubles this year, so I think it is make or break for him. Very low risk getting him in the 8th round and planning that he will be my Flex starter.
Sanu in the last round has tremendous upside, playing opposite a double teamed AJ Green. At the end of last year he was looking good until he hurt his foot. With Green, Sanu and Hawkins, plus the fact that the Steelers and Ravens defenses have both taken steps backwards, I think Andy Dalton is going to get a lot out of that offense this year.
And as luck should have it, the Buccaneers and Revis are matched up against the Jets week 1. Geno Smith threw 3 picks and ran out of the end zone for a safety yesterday, and Sanchez prolly wrecked his shoulder. I'm looking for the Bucs D to put up 40 pts Wk 1.
