Just finished my last draft of the season...

[abishagenaden]

Just completed my last draft for this season with my office league. Fortunately or unfortunately, half the guys had to pre-rank and autodraft.

 

Other notables:

-6 pts per passing TD

-return yardage points for individual players

-1 PPR

-TE-required start 2RB2WR1flex

-bonus points for milestone yardage (e.g. at 100, 125, and 150 yards rushing/receiving, and 250, 275, and 300 yards passing)

-kickers penalized heavily for short misses, but rewarded heavily for long FGs

Team 3 need be concerned about his team.

 

Taking Fitz 3rd overall is not completely insane but there had to be an RB there (Turner, DWill, Forte etc.) worth taking.

 

Reaching for McNabb with the 22nd overall pick, seriously? I like McNabb this year but definitely not that high.

 

As if his draft was looking shaky already he takes the a fantasy football walk of shame by drafting Pierre Thomas, Jo Addai, and Marshawn Lynch in a row. Each of those backs have a slew of question marks surrounding them. And I hate Mendenhall in the 10th.

 

I'm most impressed with team 1. He hit on nearly every draft pick. Not a guy that he drafted that I don't like. Love the finish with J Charles, Chris Henry, and Steve Smith. All guys who will perform well at the flex position.

team 1 killed it. top rb and qb. why cant that happen to me?

Team 3 does always surprise with some reaches in the first few rounds each year. As for the McNabb pick, the only explanation would be Philly homerism.

There was some talk during the actual draft about Brady's shoulder being hurt, which I think caused him to drop a little.
