Fantasy Football "Who should I start?" thread, Lockout is Over Version

So I'm joining an auction league this year for the first time. I've taken a look at player values and have tried to put together a sample team or two so I can get an estimate of what to expect on draft day. My question for you is, are there any other tricks to getting a good team or good strategies I might not know about?

We nominate players in order, and bid in order (live draft) so from 1 to 10 player one says "Adrian Peterson" and then puts in a starting bid. Player 2 decides to bid or pass, if you pass at any time you're out for that player. I think for my first 3 choices I'm going to try to put guys like Peyton Manning, Michael Vick, Tom Brady, Andre Johnson and Chris Johnson out there. I think all of those guys are going to go for too much money and I want others to buy them up.

Thoughts?
 
Alright, we just finished our draft:
QB- Tom Brady, Eli Manning
RB- Jamaal Charles, Frank Gore, Felix Jones, Willis McGahee, Beanie Wells
WR- Mike Wallace, Dwayne Bowe, Santonio Holmes, AJ Green, Denarius Moore
TE- Zach Miller, Lance Kendricks
D/ST- Chicago Bears
K- Matt Bryant

Overall I'm pretty happy with my team, although I should have picked Wes Welker over Sanantonio... I panicked :cry:
 
QB - Matt Ryan, Matt Cassel, Kyle Orton
RB - Rashard Mendenhall, Peyton Hillis, Ladanian Tomlinson
WR - Jeremy Maclin, Mario Manningham, Santana Moss, Johnny Knox
TE - Antonio Gates, Marcedes Lewis, Brandon Pettigrew
D/ST - San Diego, Oakland
K - Adam Vinatieri

Eh...I noticed if people were in the same position, they were all going to be on the same bye weeks. So I tried to pay more attention to that. Probably shouldn't have...Overall...we'll see how I can maneuver them around each week.

I'm a little worried that I have too many risky picks, but I'm satisfied overall:

QB - Brees, Bradford

D/ST - Cleveland (this will obviously change over the course of the season, but I'll bet against the Bengals every time)
K - Josh Brown

RB - Chris Johnson, Forte, Tolbert, Rashad Jennings, Addai
WR - DeSean Jackson, Roddy White, Boldin, Roy Williams, Emmanuel Sanders
TE - Witten, Gronkowski

I like my starters a lot, but my bench is kinda iffy.

I hope you two tank. That was so damn frustrating watching you two steal picks.

Thoughts? Didn't go exactly as I planned. It was a 12 team league and a few picks were taken from me (steelers d, bears d, colt mccoy)

EDIT: I'm probably going to try and trade some wrs for Brandon Jacobs or McGahee.

EDIT II: Look at this fucking ridiculous trade the LM made and then pushed through immediately.

Gbp!! Dude we drafted similarly wow...my teams main players consist of Brady, Rice, Finley, Tolbert too haha..but my WRs i got were Ocho, Bowe, DeSean, Collie.

But man i feel were both in for some goodness with Brady, Rice and Finley, thats gold right there.

Your RB core of Rice, hillis and Blount is beastly though, that will be your money right there. See this first league for me favors WRs a bit more so thats why im a little lighter on RBs but a bit more focused on WRs.

Looks decent man, Peyton is peyton of course, which is points even on bad days hah.

MJD is what scares me, are you able to pick up Rashad Jennings by chance? I would pick him up because honestly i think MJD is a good hit away from going down with that injury hes been milking, he may be alright but i think Jennings you should snag if you can. What other WRs are in your FA pool?

I may as well throw my draft in here as well guys while im posting this:

Thats my first of 3 drafts and one of my money drafts. 10 man so i was able to sneak a little more out of it, but my next two are 12 mans.

I had my big draft last night. Initially I was pretty unhappy with the team. After a night, I'm a little more happy. I think I'm weak at RB, a position I'm usually very good at. I'm relying and Best and Wells to both have breakout years. If they don't then my season is over. I might try and pull a trade, but this early in the season I'd probably have to give up too much to get a decent RB2.

I agree the trade is ok, but as league manager you should never rush your own trades. If you have a 24 or 48 review period, stick to it.

Best and Wells are both a bit risky, but I think they'll both pay off. I think if you team McCoy with whichever of them is hotter or has the better matchup, you'll be fine most weeks.

I'm actually more concerned about your WRs. I love Wallace, but Boldin tailed off badly at the end of last season. In his last 9 games, he only went over 40 yards 3 times, and had just 2 TDs. Baltimore drafted a couple WRs, maybe that will loosen things up for him. Britt scares me because we don't know what kind of a suspension he could get. If he doesn't end up missing a lot of time, he could end being a great pick. Have to cross your fingers on that.
 
I'm still 2 weeks away from my draft (Sept. 3), and I've been studying the last 2 drafts in my league to try and formulate my strategy for the first few rounds. We've got one new owner this year, other than that it's all the same guys, so I'm trying to look at tendencies. I'm picking 2nd out of 12 teams. I'm concerned with the long, long wait between my 3rd and 4th selections, as well as between my picks in Rounds 5 and 6.

I plan to have 2 RBs and 1WR after my first 3 picks, possibly 1RB and 2 WR, depending on who's still there. My 4th round pick will be the 47th overall; by that pick in last year's draft, 10 QBs and 14 WRs were gone (We only start 2 WRs and no flex). In 2009, by the 47th pick, there were 7 QBs and 15 WRs off the board. I'd love to know how it will go this year- I'd be A LOT happier with the 8th QB on my list than the 12th. If the guy making 2 wraparound picks between my 4th and 5th picks has a QB already, I'll most likely go WR-QB, if not, I'll go QB-WR.

The next big decision will come with my 6th and 7th picks. The guys in my league tend to go on panic runs at QB, TE, and DST. If you're on the wrong end of one of those, you can really end up with crap to pick from for that position. I'm worried that this will cause me to draft in ways I don't like to, filling in all my starters and forgetting about depth. Last year I was in the 9th spot, and I waited until Round 8 for a TE and Round 10 for my DST. I'd like a strong D this year, but (going by the last 2 drafts), if I want to end up with one of my top 3 DSTs, I need to go DST with either my 6 or 7 choice. My next pick after that will be the 95th overall; the past 2 years there were 9 and 8 DSTs gone, respectively. That's too early to pick a D, imo, and it leaves you much thinner at other spots. Same problem with TE- if I don't take one by my 6-7 choices, recent history says there will be 10 gone when I choose in Round 8.

Anyway, I can see my first 8 rounds going something like this: RB-RB-WR-QB-WR-TE-DST. I'll have to decide if I can more easily live with a TE and DST I'm not thrilled with, or a serious lack of depth at RB and WR. Does anyone else worry about this stuff going into their drafts? I think that years when I'm more in the middle of the pack, I don't worry about it as much, because it's easier to react to a panic run at one position when you don't go 21 spots between picks.

I'm actually ok with my WRs. Boldin had a rocky year last year. But I think another year with Flacco combined with Mason being gone will make him a serviceable #2 (and probably will be demoted to #3 depending on Britt). I'm hoping that Britt will pay off and I'll be able to ride out his suspension with Boldin.

I usually get one trade a season that the participants want pushed thru so they can have their new lineup for Sunday. Tough crap.
Our review period is only 48 hours & it's nobody else's fault you waited until Friday night.

I'm #2 on the WW order, I'll prolly pick him up after the first week. First time being in a keeper league so I thought the Titus Young pick would be a good sleeper pick, but anyways here are the top 10 ranked available WRs in the FA pool right now: Jerome Simpson, Mike Williams (Sea), Danny Amendola, Deion Branch, Jacoby Jones, Emmanuel Sanders, Nate Burleson, Steve Smith (Phi), Earl Bennett, Andre Roberts.

I didn't realize Manning's injury until after the draft, but yeah. =/ TBH I wasn't prepared for this year, which is kinda bad considering this roster is for a $20, 12-man league.

Here's my team for another league (auction draft, $5, 12-man league).

QB Eli Manning
RB Ray Rice
RB Jahvid Best
RB/WR Joseph Addai
WR Larry Fitzgerald
WR DeSean Jackson
TE Jimmy Graham
D/ST Falcons D/ST
K Garrett Hartley

BE Jonathan Stewart
BE A.J. Green
BE Chad Ochocinco
BE Roy Williams
BE Cam Newton
BE Jerome Harrison
BE Greg Little

Liking this team a little more than my other one. =p
 
^ that team destroys your other one. I don't wanna rip on your first team, but I probably wouldn't draft one player from that team.

All of them have either huge injury issues, or are in new systems. I love Ryan Matthews, but after what he did last year, no way I would take him this year. Colston had micro-fracture surgery, MJD is on the brink of breaking down, Harvin has migranes every other day and Donovan and no Rice on the other side. Just very, very shaky.

But that team above? you could win it all with that team. I would try to add a better backup than cam

I can't really judge too much because I don't know the scoring settings in your league, but I'm curious...why are you drafting IDPs so early, especially in a 10 team league? Aside from Patrick Willis who is an absolute fantasy beast, you are drafting those other guys way too early imo.

Just wondering, because I generally wait until the later rounds (12+) before I even pick my first IDP, and I feel like those middle rounds are what separate the contenders from everyone else in the league (as even autodraft can't screw up the early rounds too badly).

Yeah, if I had done my research per usual, I would be thinking the same thing going in. Ugh, we'll see. We all know how great WW pickups can be =D

It was an auction draft and all the QBs pretty much went higher than I expected. Henne, Hasselback, and McCoy still in the FA pool... but the FA pool has a budget/silent bidding. Not sure if I should spend my budget just yet. =p
 
I got 3 more drafts to do, so im really looking forward to them.

So what do you guys think, is Foster definitly worthy of the number 1 spot, you guys sold on him for that spot?

Im torn tbh, i grabbed Rice so far in my main league and im happy with that. But with 3 more drafts coming up here i sort of wonder if i get the number 1 pick somehow if ill go with foster. Im pretty sure i will, but part of me feels AP is still a proven number one, gonna be interesting this year.
 
Depends. A lot of people are high on Jamaal Charles as well. Also depends if they are PPR or not.

I'm incredibly happy with how my draft turned out. Wish my QB was better than Schaub, but those are the tradeoffs.

There aren't many elite IDPs, and Willis is one of them. We get points for tackles, tackle for loss, sack, int, pass def, force fum, fum rec, TDs, safety... I think that's it. An elite IDP will get me 10+ points a game. So I usually take one around round 8 or 9 after my starting line up is solidified. In our league a strong defense is the difference between making the playoffs and floundering. We start 4 IDPs each week and if you have a good squad they are going to put up between 35-45 points (sometimes more). So yeah...

For offense the scoring is pretty standard.
 
Yea im actually happy with my first draft, I feel i have alot that will just gel really well. Brady and Chad i think are going to be on fire, i just feel it...everyone that Brady passes too just seems to turn godly almost, so i am stoked about that. Rice you cant go wrong with, and having Vicks number 1 target in Djax, having Cassels number 1 target with Bowe, and Rodgers to Finley is definitly going to explode this year long as he stays healthy, i gotta say im stoked for this team since its a money draft of mine.
 
Untitled.jpg

I way overpayed for McFadden, and the $6 for the kicker was just b/c I wanted to get rid of the rest of my money (last pick). Overall I'm not too happy with my team, but I don't think its terrible for my first time.
 
Not to shabby dude, not to shabby. You should be ok as long as Finley does what hes really being hyped to do, i have Finley as well and i think hes going to be a powerhouse this year so thatll give you a nice edge if he performs.

Rivers is insta points, Bowe is going to bring some good points.

Your RBs are going to be the make or breaks for ya, McFadden is a beast when hes on, if he stays healthy youll be solid there, Felix is i feel going to be having a good year with Barber out, but we will see there.

Your backups like Tolbert may end up being a starter, i have Tolbert as well and i think the dude is going to be the man over in San Diego.

The team should be fine though.

Come talk a little fantasy on my board guys too if you think about it, im always itchin for more sports talk :cool:

I think you've done pretty good overall. 2 good starting backs and a nice stable of Bye week fill-ins. 2 potentially great defenses off the board, as well. Concerning McFad, if he blows up you got a good deal. Only think about overpaying after a couple of weeks.

Fair enough. I agree that IDPs can make a team...hell I've seen Willis lead people's teams in scoring for the week. There's just plenty of guys that quietly put up huge numbers, because let's face it, individual tackles don't directly translate to points in the real game.

Here's some stats from last season: http://www.nfl.com/stats/categoryst...rience=null&tabSeq=0&qualified=true&Submit=Go

Guys like Jerod Mayo and Paul Posluszny have been consistent in the tackles department for a few years. Idk, I think I'd rather gather WR/RB depth in the middle rounds (Felix Jones, Tolbert, Sims-Walker, Malcolm Floyd, etc.), personally. I just make sure to grab a couple of the top 10 guys once the IDP rush (not counting Willis going in the 6th) begins. And obviously, this depends on who's in your league.
 
On team 1 in my above post, someone offered me Cedric Benson and Greg Jennings for MOJO and a kicker. I'm thinking about doing it because I can only start 2 rbs anyways and I already have Ray Rice and Chris Johnson, plus I'd be getting a solid RB for a back up. Let me know if I should do not do it, b/c right now I am leaning towards yes.
 
Hi all,

I need some feedback in a trade...a guy in my league offered marion barber for manningham which i am going to reject but i was thinking about doing a counter offer as i am extremely thin at RB...I was thinking about offering him Vick and Manningham for miles austin, joseph addai and roethlisberger, he also has mendenhall who i am thinking about targeting but i think that might be reaching. also another guy offered me matt schaub for roddy white and i am unsure of that trade. it is a 12 team league (non ppr) with standard nfl.com scoring and my roster currrently is:

qb-vick

rb-beanie wells
tolbert
mark ingram
cj spiller
pierre thomas (pending waivers)

wr- roddy white

Who are your receivers? I like the trade only because you're trading a question mark for another question mark and a good receiver. However, I like MJD (at the start of the season) versus CJHoldout. If CJ gets pissy and asks for a trade, then you've got a VJax scenario. So who would you rather have at the start? Me, I'd rather have MJD over Benson - unless the Bungles actually show some kind of offense.

It would be a cold day in Hell before I trade White for Schaub. That said, I don't like the Vick/Mannigham for Ben/Austin/Addai. I really don't think you're getting that much with Addai, though. He's going to be in a RBBC and who knows how long he'll even last this year. I think you're decent with NO backs (when the Saints play well, they're a top 5 run team), Beanie, and Tolbert. You're receivers I question. Britt is going to be suspended (sometime), Edwards has no QB (Damn you, San Fran!) and Branch is nothing since Ocho arrived. You need receivers, man.
