satelliteoflovegm Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 We all do somethings better than other things in fantasy football. I think my best areas are draft prep, commissioner duties, and sleeper wide receivers. I am pretty good at working creative trades as well. I can also sing the states in alphabetical order, but it rarely helps on draft day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 i have found that i am very good at finding sleepers, and deep sleepers. But then again, i have found i suck at picking studs in the early rounds. so it all evens out in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keys Myaths Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Waiver wire/trades. I'm good at formulating deals that look adventageous to both sides, but end up helping me a lot more, and usually with guys I picked off the wire that have come on 3 weeks later. I'm a below-average drafter, though. My average finish is around 4th in 12-man leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Weasel Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I'm good at draft prep, due to my obsessive compulsive disorder. I'll spend days crunching stats and overanalyzing. I'm bad at holding onto players and not being able to trade them after their "expiration date" I'm good at researching other teams rosters for weaknesses and scaring them into a trade...."Are you sure you want your WR1 to be Javon? Favre don't like him anymore. Here you go, you can have Mr. Consistency, Eddie Kennison, for him, OK?" I'm good at offering sound advice. Bad at using that same advice on draft day. I'm the guy who always ends up with the highest risk team. Need proof? My starting lineup in a 12-team keeper league this year is: QB Marc Bulger (I will play the matchup game with Brett Favre all year) RB Priest Holmes (and I missed out on LJ) RB Deuce McAllister (Curtis Martin is my bye week filler) WR Chad Johnson WR Javon Walker WR Jerry Porter (Rod Smith is my bye week filler) TE Jeremy Shockey (Marcus Pollard is my bye week filler) I'll end up on top or on bottom, but I never finish in the middle.

whomper Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I always draft the best TE and DEF early then make up for it with a mid draft sleeper. And I can catch about 20 quarters off my elbow like Chachi in that Happy Days episode. It distracts the other guys on draft day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAUgrad Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 (edited) I'm great at drafting deep sleepers that really perform well the year after I drafted them. Edited August 1, 2005 by NAUgrad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 If I have any specialty at all it's that I pretty much suck at everything. Most of the time I can make the PO's, but then it is one and done. I wouldn't recognize a sleeper even if he came to my house and ran over me. The 'studs' I draft.... usually have a major injury in the first week of the season or have the off-year everyone had been expecting. *sigh* And as far as trading..... LOL..... I am the easiest mark at the Huddle. I am pretty good at finding info people here want though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glabra Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Limiting it to 1 positive and 1 negative: - I've had a lot of success picking rookies at all stages of the draft. I better, cuz I watch an insane amount of college ball. - I reach too much on draft day, based on gut feel. Took R. Wayne in the 8th rd of a 12 team league last yr when I could've had him much lower. It turned out well, but that's not the point. I overpaid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and I'm very good at turning an overall profit between all of my leagues. Can't remember the last time I was in the red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boat_hacked Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Feel that I'm pretty good at picking the IDP's... Usually pull a couple of sleepers. Some in the league haven't figured out the consistent tacklers :doah: outside of the obvious picks. Also, do well on the waiver. Last year, picked Volek and Delhomme after Mcnair went down. Snagged Burleson, right before Moss went down cuz Deion B. went out as my 4th WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampnuts Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Always been good at finding productive RB's in the later rounds, and my biggest downfall is I tend to hold onto players too long. I never sell high on a backup or prospect and they end up falling back to earth (on my bench). Burned me more than once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliaz Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 well..... -Great at being a commish. I love doing it. I just wish there was a way to sell my services to commish other people's league. -I can still say the boy scout motto by heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberho27 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I'm great at heckling other owners at the draft when they make a questionable pick. I'm also a waiver wire paid friend, and make sure to let people know how they could've had the guy i got if they had the been paying attention.

darin3 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I have a firm grasp on IDPs. I'm always well-prepared for drafts (often-tims OVER-prepared), be it IDP leagues or regular leagues. I always have a pair of stud RBs. I haven't had a mega-stud QB in a league that meant anything in 8 years (ie, no Manning or Culpepper).
