Chavez Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 At least I don't have 5 TEs on my roster. Yes, I see you've concentrated on hoarding RBs this year. Too bad you don't have any good ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Dick Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Depends on if your league makes you pay for transactions. I have drafted 2 kickers to cover bye weeks, potential weather conditions, # times they will kick in a dome, etc. Saves me on transaction dollars the rest of the year and gives me flexibility for add/drops.

Egret Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Yes, I see you've concentrated on hoarding RBs this year. Too bad you don't have any good ones. You mean I can't win with Jamal Lewis, Warrick Dunn, Deuce McCallister, or Chris Brown as starters? THIS is the year of the Stud WR! Look out for: Steve Smith, Marques Colston, Plaxico Burress and Santonio Holmes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Mac did well by me in a different league last year. The other three are more washed-up than a person suffering from OCD in a soap factory. THIS is the year of the Stud WR! Look out for:Steve Smith, Marques Colston, Plaxico Burress and Santonio Holmes! I seem to have heard that somewhere before, from the GM of a 5-9 team....

Chavez Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 But a defense is a little easier to pick based on matchups and I like having two to pick from. Good defense vs. Indy? Or average defense vs. Houston. Hmmm... Makes you think. Having two defenses is a bit more defensible than having two Ks. Still, in most cases, I find it pretty unnecessary.

LooGie Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) every year, i actually consider NOT drafting a kicker at all, because i have so many sleeper ideas. But i picture that blank roster spot that could potentially earn me 10 points a week, and that sleeper on my bench that will get me zero..and I come to my senses. but the sad thing is, you can ALMOST make a case for it. edit: and i'm not talking about for the whole season, just for a week or two..but even still, it's not worth it..almost, but not quite.

I seem to have heard that somewhere before, from the GM of a 5-9 team.... Friggin' injuries. Portis, Moss, McNabb and Vernon Davis were all supposed to be starters. Having them out of the lineup for a majority of the season hurt. Betts certainly took the sting out of Portis. Trading away Moss for Tiki helped too. 5-9 is still 5-9.

Furd Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Well, if one who usually waits until the last round to draft a kicker drafted one earlier, he might forget that he drafted one earlier and draft a kicker in the last round out of habit, thus resulting in 2 kickers on the roster.

I've done this before. It's not THAT bad of a thing to do. We started closing the waiver wire after the draft in that league though. No pickups until after the season starts. Now I have to draft a kicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDFFFreak Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) Drafting 2 defenses is key in deep leagues and, in a league such as Bling where we carry 20 roster spots I'll take a backup kicker with the last pick of the draft. The key is to draft such a solid team that you don't need that extra roster spot for another super duper sleeper. Hey, it worked last year as I won the league...

Most times the super-duper sleeper guy is first-week waiver-wire fodder (if he lasts that long). Sometimes Mr Irrelevant is Marques Colston.

twiley Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) I just got the surprise of the season when three very experienced Huddlers drafted backup kickers in the 16th round of a 16 team league (GoodvEvil). I have never drafted a second kicker, usually either drafting the kicker in the last round, or if for some reason I already got one, pick up a long shot sleeper in that last spot, so I can take a shot. Is the backup kicker as uncommon as I THINK it is? You're in the freakin House, did you not read the rules... the house is where the losers go!!!! <turnsSenatenoseup> Edit: The rules also state that you're only allowed a certain number of pickups in that league too.... READ THE RULES NEWB!!!! Each team has 8 waiver moves per season plus one for each of your players officially placed on the NFL's injured reserve. Granted I didn't draft 2 kickers but I did draft 2 DEF's for this reason. 8 waiver moves can disappear pretty quickly.

kcmast Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) 9.1.1 Definition: Each team has 8 waiver moves per season plus one for each of your players officially placed on the NFL's injured reserve. The 8 regular waiver moves are tradable. I considered it because of the limited waiver moves, but only drafted one K and one DEF. Woops, missed the post where that was stated....

LooGie Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 8 waiver moves is not that limited, unless you have ADHD. you are out of your mind. 8? That's the same as 0 in my book. I'm always picking up sleepers and dropping busts. I scour that WW and FA every single hour of every single day. I'll grab a player just because I heard he's about to be traded, and then drop him that same day if he doesn't. When they shipped off Keven Barlow to the jets, I heard about it about an hour before anyone else did (in my league, not here. i heard about it here of course) and I dropped my only kicker to grab him, and then when the trade went though, I tried to trade him everywhere, I couldn't, so i just dropped him at the end of the week and grabbed a kicker back.

The Holy Roller Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Well if you performed a LAG and then a 5/10/20 analysis of Good and Evil you would see clearly that the second kicker position is FAR more important than....oh wait, I had my chart sideways.
