How many of your DRAFTED starters still starting?

Recommended Posts

This upcoming weekend ( first week of two week playoffs) I will be starting exactly ONE player who I drafted as a starter, McCoy. Because of injuries (Martin, Gronk, Vick) or poor performance and dropping guys (Bowe, RG3, Roddy), I've had to essentially redraft my starting lineup - McCown, McCoy (only drafted player), Vereen, Allen, Cooper, and Pitta. So anyone else out there starting one (or a couple) of originally drafted players and still in the playoffs?

All 6 of my skill position starters this coming weekend will have been drafted - Ryan (admittedly weak at QB but he has a nice matchup), Charles, Ivory, Bryant, Marshall, and Vernon Davis.

 

I guess you could look at that as being very fortunate on my part (hard to argue), or also that I've not done a great job of filling in my two weak spots (QB and RB2) over the course of the season through free agency (also true).

Now that Peterson is out 2 out of 11 starting players I actually drafted. Just call my team the "All Waiver Wire Team"

 

My lineup starting lineup currently consists of:

 

QB Romo (traded for him mid-season)

WR Josh Gordon (believe it or not he was a waiver wire pick up in week 1)

RB Zack Stacy (waiver wire pickup)

TE Jimmy Graham (drafted)

FLEX Bobby Rainey (waiver wire pickup)

FLEX Harry Douglas (waiver wire pickup)

FLEX Toby Gerhart (waiver wire pickup)

K Garret Hartley (waiver wire pickup)

 

D Lavonte David (picked him up right after the draft once I realized nobody drafted him)

D Paul Posluszny (drafted)

D Sean Lee (waiver wire pickup after he got injured the first time)

WR1: Alshon Jeffery - WW pickup

WR2: Michael Floyd - WW pickup

Flex: Joique Bell - WW pickup

K: Nick Novak - WW pickup

Caepernick - draft

Forte. - draft

Vereen - draft

D. Thomas - draft

Nelson. - draft

Wright - waivers

Prater - draft

Broncos - draft

Flex - Jeffrey (draft) and Stacy (waivers)

 

In the semi finals. Huge was drafting Jeffrey late and holding onto Vereen when he was hurt. TE has been fluctuating.

Get this. PPR league at my internship. They've been doing this league for 20 plus years, and keep all the stats in excel sheets, it's pretty cool.

Anyway, this is my first year, and my first 5 draft picks were:

 

Doug Martin

Steven Jackson

Demarco Murray

Matt Ryan

Danny Amendola

 

Luckily I also picked up Woodhead, Josh Gordon, Fred Jackson and a few others.

 

I jut clinched a first round bye in the playoffs. Payout is 600 I think. Wish me luck!!!!

Probably the best draft I've had to date...and its not really close. Every player I drafted. 14 team league.

 

QB: Stafford

RB: Forte

RB: Lacy

WR: Green

WR: Gordon...initially had Djax but traded him due to bye week issues with Green and Djax.

TE Bennett

K: Succop

Def: Buf/STL

Well it sounds like the OP didn't mean simply players that are starting who you got after the draft, but players who you did not draft as a starter but are starting now.

 

QB - Rivers (3rd QB drafted behind Dalton who I expected to start and Schaub as my backup, Rivers was actually a mistake)

RB - Chris Johnson (keeper)

RB - Ivory/Sproles (trade / draft)

WR - Calvin, Fitz, DemThomas (all 3 keepers)

TE - Witten (keeper)

D - Bears / Ravens (both off waivers)

K - Crosby (drafted)

 

I have been very lucky with injuries (thank you FF Gods).

Luck

Charles

Gore

S.Jax

A.Brown

Jeffries

Witten

 

2nd place in points in this league by 40 points, me and the leader have been most injury free(14 team league)

Lost Martin and A.Rod in my other local...not so good

So far, I'm the only player with only one starter (see a couple twos), don't know whether this is a good thing ir not. I drafted like craud, but managed the waiver wire well.

League 1:

Giovani Bernard

Knowshon Moreno (drafted in the 13th and more likely a flex option at the beginning of the year.

 

League 2:

Romo

Charles

Lacy

D. Thomas

V. Davis

Hauschka

 

League 3:

Romo

Charles

Lacy

D-Jax

J. Cameron

 

Most replacements were due to injuries. I did make one trade in league #2, where I traded Reggie Bush and Joique Bell for Josh Gordon back in week 6.

Two, AJ Green and Lacy. Started 1-5, rattled off I dunno how many in a row now to get to the semifinals, thanks to the additions of:

 

Josh McCown (benched RGIII)

Zac Stacy (benched Spiller)

Keenan Allen (cut Bowe)

Cassius Clay (can't even remember)

With news that Shorts is out, I preactively dropped him for next weeks Def (Mia). With that move, I now have ONE PLAYER left from my originally drafted team (McCoy), and I'm still in the playoffs; flipping crazy.

I'm rank #1 in my league, my starters for today:

 

Foles - FA pickup

J. Charles - Draft

Law Firm - Draft

D. Jackson - Draft

A. Jeffrey - FA pickup

Antonio Brown - Draft

Delanie Walker - FA

 

I have a mix of draft and FAs on the bench as well. Romo was drafted as my starting QB, but Foles has replaced him.
