My Jets are going to suck, but my fantasy team has a chance.
New league this year, I'm running it. $100 buy in and $25 towards transactions. Pay out is by percent of $$ taken in, 60/30/10. 12 team PPR league. Big changes in the scoring. No screwy special scoring for TE, which over valued them in the last league and no bonus points for length of TD.
I picked #10 in the first round. #'s after players is the round I picked em
QB Drew Brees 1
RB Chris Johnson 5
RB Rashad Jennings 6
WR Brandon Marshall 2
WR Wes Welker 3
TE Jason Witten 4
Flex Jeremy Maclin 7
K Justin Tucker 11
Def Bengals 9
Bench
QB Josh McCown Waivers
RB Pierre Thomas 10
RB Danny Woodhead 14
WR Sammy Watkins 8
WR Kenny Britt 13
TE Ladarius Green 12
I took Schaub in the last round of the draft, then dumped him when he wasn't the starter.
I went heavy on reception guys. Was happy as hell to get 70reception RBs in Rnds 10 & 14.
Friggin Welker got concussed and suspended. I'm taking a flyer on Watkins and starting him at Flex this week. My thoughts on grabbing him and Britt were that they would be the top targets on teams playing from behind, so they would get catches and yards.
I considered picking up Josh Gordon today, when I heard the suspension may be reduced or vacated, but chickened out and someone else grabbed him. Dude who got him will have STELLAR receivers if he plays. Dude has AJ Green, Julio Jones, & Gronk. He's vulnerable at RB w/ Spiller, Bush and Vereen all injury prone. He also has Newton at QB. Are there any WRs in Carolina?
NFL.com has me going 6-8, but in season waiver moves are usually where I do very well.
And for actual NFL talk, I'll go Denver over Philly in the Super Bowl. Like 38-17, w/ Eagles getting blowed out and a garbage time score. With a full season of Von Miller and the addition of DeMarcus Ware, that defense is going to be tough, and makes Denver the class of the AFC. Eagles got Sproles to keep Shady fresh for the playoffs, Foles is in his 2nd year of running that offense and they spent most of their draft picks trying to improve their D, and the rest of the division is dog meat, so they have a shot at home field advantage in the playoffs.
