What's your scoring system? Is it required to roster two defenses and two TE?

Two roster questions for a non-PPR league (matchups in parentheses):
For WR2, do you start Ochocinco (Miami) or Plaxico Burress (Dallas)? I am leaning toward Ochocinco if only because of Brady, although Burress is tempting since it isn't clear that Dallas has fixed their problems in the secondary and he could be a good red zone target. Other options at WR are Rice (SF), Sims-Walker (Philly), and Evans (Pittsburgh), although I don't think I would start any of them at this point.
For my flex slot, I am back and forth between Ryan Grant (NO) and Knowshon Moreno (Oakland). I have no idea what to do here.

[quote name='Feeding the Abscess']What's your scoring system? Is it required to roster two defenses and two TE?[/QUOTE]No, it's not, and most years I only draft one of each. The backups I took at those 2 spots this year were among my last 3 picks (along with Bironas) I like to take RBs or WRs with upside with those final picks, but the guys in my league have gotten smarter over the years, and the pickings were very slim by the end. I only took San Fran to cover Green Bay's bye week (SF hosts the Brownies that week), and a backup TE because I don't feel great about Lewis for some reason.
Standard scoring, 6 for a rushing or receiving TD, 4 for a TD pass, 1 per 10 rushing/receiving, and 1 per 20 passing. We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DST, and no flex.

How many teams in the league? I'd consider moving Bradford and maybe Bradshaw to an owner with a stud RB and a weak QB. It'd give you a roster spot to play with when an injury replacement/breakout player pops up.

One thing about Ochocinco, or any Pats WR/TE really, is that Brady is so good at spreading the ball around. I had Welker and Aaron Hernandez last year, and there were games where they just disappeared. The games where Brady targeted them were great, but there were other weeks when all the passes where going to someone else(Branch, Gronkowski, etc.)

The owners in my league have always been notoriously hesitant to trade. 12 teams, by the way. The three teams that I'd consider to have the weakest starting QBs (Stafford, Freeman, Kolb) all took those guys with Bradford still on the board, so they prefer the guys they have at that spot.

So, my draft is tomorrow, and it's a keeper league. So far I have Roethlisberger, Chris Johnson and Justin Tuck (have to take at least one defensive player to get 2 offensive). The person I took over for had turds for defensive players so I had to take Justin Tuck.
I'm going to take a Wide Receiver, but most of the big names (Fitzgerald, Roddy White, Andre Johnson, etc) are already kept by another team. I'm wondering should I take a gamble on someone like Julio Jones, DeSean Jackson or Dez Bryant for my first receiver? Or just go after someone established?

Also insane bonuses for Defense keeping teams under 200 yards is like 15 points, shutout is like 30...

Mama said to knock you out
So had my first (and possibly only) draft this morning and I think I did pretty decent. A few things I'd do differently, but I can't complain.
10 teams, had the 10th spot:
QB - Phillip Rivers
RB - Maurice Jones-Drew
RB - Peyton Hillis
WR - Mike Wallace
WR - Jeremy Maclin
TE - Owen Daniels
K - Neil Rackers
DEF - New England
B - Shonn Greene
B - Jonathan Stewart
B - James Starks
B - Jordy Nelson
B - Steve Smith (CAR)
B - Danny Amendola
A couple notes. Reached on Jordy Nelson in the 8th round, but I love his upside. Amendola I spent a flier on in the last round if only because he was 9th in the league last year in receptions.
My bench has question marks and some may not pan out, but I tried going for guys with upside this year. I'm most likely going to suck in the kitty league since I only have one QB and questionable guys, but I'm hoping that drafting for the future helps me win the championship itself. I do think my RBs are risky with MJD coming off injury and having a bad preseason and Hillis is an injury waiting to happen (Madden Curse). I couldn't pass on Hillis in the middle of the 4th round though.
As far as no backup QB / TE goes, QB I didn't think I needed since Rivers is generally pretty healthy and how often am I going to start somebody over him? Kind of a wasted pick unless I'd go for trade bait. As for no TE, I'm buying into the belief that Daniels could have a good year this year. Plus, I don't recall many teams drafting a backup, so there are names still there. Cook, Keller, Cooley are some of the more noticeable ones, plus QB has plenty of options too at backup.

You did well to take Manning in the 5th round, Sam Bradford can start until Manning is up to speed. I like Fred Jackson this year, and I drafted him and Ahmad Bradshaw in a league of mine as well. I'm still on the fence with Bradshaw but he was a good value where I got him.
Nicks/Jackson is a great duo, Harvin has a nice upside and Moss is solid. Moss in a PPR league would be great, in standard scoring you'll hope to not have to play him but he won't screw you if you do.
I could take or leave your TEs and I love GB D this year. Good luck this season!

(52 yards rushing, 3 catches for 27 yards combined for both games, and no TDs) The thing that could make it a double whammy for me is that my Week 1 opponent starts the Steelers as his DST. Triple whammy for me is I'm a diehard Steelers fan and want them to crush the Ravens. Man, I hate when you have to split your loyalty in fantasy.
Who else do you have at RB and how many do you start?

I'm so mad. I had to work the night of my draft so I set up my first 20 picks and then the rest was auto drafted. In a 2QB league I got Stafford, Kolb and McCoy. Unbelievable. I have literally no chance and I can guarantee that unless I hit a home run with an Arian Foster type player from the waiver wire I am going to come in last place. One team in my league has Brady and Manning and another has Brees and Vick. The rest of my team is solid but I really need at least one top 10 QB to compete (they get 1 point per 10 yards rushing and 6 points for a TD pass).

QB K. Kolb

Was really bummed that Vincent Jackson went one pick before me in the 3rd...he's going to have a monster year and a real shot at top 3 wr.

Aside from your RB depth and having decide on a WR3, it's not that bad. Playing the matchups with Orton/Cassel should get you by fine. I'm more of a 10 team person though.

So I guess I'll kick this off then...who should I start between Julio Jones, Pierre Thomas, and Tolbert? Julio has been looking solid in preseason, but a rookie; PT is in a headache scenario, splitting carries with Ingram and Sproles; and Tolbert will be seeing only GL carries it appears, and is going against Minnesota, who is still solid against the run. And gotta decide by Thursday, before the Saints/Packers game. HALP!

I'd personally take Pierre Thomas out of the mix. With both Sproles and Ingram, as well as a pretty pass heavy offense, I don't see him netting you much.
Tolbert was really good to me last year, but with Matthews healthy he is definitely going to get a smaller work-load. Still look for him to gremlin a bunch of TDs from Matthews though.
Julio Jones is going up against Chicago who has a decent D and it's in Chicago. He has a chance to do some things but I like Tolbert to get you the most bang for your buck.

So guys, I need some help. My big money league was the other day, and I really don't like my team as much today as I did the night I drafted it (stupid Peyton Manning and his back/neck). Anyone I should target on the waiver wire? What do you guys see as my big areas of need? Am I crazy for thinking of picking up Kyle Orton?
Oh yeah I should mention, the league is .5 PPR
Also... other money league - Malcolm Floyd or Dez Bryant for my last WR spot?

Both Kolb and Stafford have bonafide stud #1 WRs... they might not struggle all that much this season. I'd keep Mendenhall, he's an every down back. Move McFadden and Welker for a QB, if you have to. Unless it's a PPR league.[/QUOTE]
Thanks - that's what I'm thinking. It is NOT a PPR league so that makes sense. Kolb and Stafford definitely have good receivers and I think if Stafford can stay healthy he might go for 4,000 yards but that's a big if. I just don't like Kolb for some reason... eh, I guess I'll know more after the first few weeks.

So I'm looking for a 2nd opinion on my WR situation this week.
The WR in question is Mike Wallace (@BAL). I know I'm not starting Amendola (PHI) and am leaning against Jordy Nelson (NO - but is more unproven then because of his matchup). So it's really Wallace or CAR Steve Smith (@ARI).

Dez.
And don't sleep on Freeman. The Bucs are starting to come around, and last year his stats were roughly comparable to Rodgers--less passing yds, but right there with Pass TDs and rushing yds (if only he could get some rushing TDs to match up with the yards). If nothing else he should be a decent QB for you until Manning comes back, and a better option than Orton in a John Fox offense.

All of those options are pretty gross, emg28. Is there nothing else?
Out of those 3 I guess I'd go Grossman, but I really don't like any of those 3. Could you pick up someone like Orton, Hasselbeck or Jason Campbell?

I like McCown this week - not a lot of yards, but should get you some TDs. Collins is a close 2nd, only because of the weapons on hand. I'm not a sexy Rexy fan, was hoping it would be Beck, so leave him out until we see what he does in a Shanahan offense.
If he's out there, I do love McCoy against the Bengals this week.

I'm in a 16 team (1 QB) league and the only QB on waivers is Tarvaris Jackson.

I'm currently in trade talks for McCoy but the guy knows I'm hurting and is asking for too much.

[quote name='emg28']The draft for my main league was 3 weeks ago. I ended up with Peyton Manning as my #1 qb and David Garrard as my #2. What a difference 3 weeks make. LOL.
So who should I start week 1?
Kerry Collins @ Houston
Luke McCown vs Tennesse
Rex Grossman vs Giants[/QUOTE]
Sexy Rexy! I think he has the most upside, and the Giants DBs are hurting.

I'd go Collins because not much has changed in Houston, excellent offense with terrible pass D.
Grossman would be my 2nd choice. I wouldn't touch McCown.
