Medal of Honor Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Hi All, Just finished my first draft of the season last night. We play in an ESPN standard league that starts 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 W/R Flex, 1 TE, 1 D/ST, 1 K. Passing TDs are worth 6 points. Please let me know what you think of my team. My thoughts are that I am weak at RB, but at least have a couple starters. If those guys just play average, the studs I have at the other positions will put my team in the win column. I went WR, WR, QB in the draft. QB - T. Romo RB - C. Portis, A. Bradshaw, K. Huggins, L. Washington, F. Taylor WR - A. Johnson, R. Wayne, J. Knox, L. Evans, Jacoby Jones TE - D. Clark D/ST - Saints (Reggie Bush TDs plox) K - L. Tynes Also, WDIS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBroncos Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Not to sound callous, but please tell me this is a 18 team league. Or maybe I just need some more detail on your league. Your RB situation is putrid. Fortunately, you do have some bait in Wayne, but you need to improve your RB situation BADLY. Again, not trying to be rude, but I don't know what you were trying to attempt in this draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medal of Honor Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 I always believe in picking the best player available, and with an early run on Running Backs, I was forced to either take a RB that was of less value than the round he was going in, or go for another solid WR. Running Backs were hot early on, so I avoided them like the plague and staffed up at other positions hoping to make an early-season trade. I'd rather have Wayne in the second round than somebody like CJ Spiller. It is a 12-team league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBroncos Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Is this a PPR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Company of Heroes Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 The RBs are pretty brutal. If trades are active in this league, I'd try to start working some magic. Sometimes taking the best player available can leave your starting team worse off. If you are familiar with this league and the RB rush, it would have been better to lead the rush instead of pick up the scraps. In a league where QBs get hit hard in rds 2 & 3, I took Brees with my first pick. With the Huddle rankings shaping my strategy, I still feel I can get value at a position even in the middle of a rush, instead of avoiding a position entirely for too long. Good luck.

Medal of Honor Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Basically I think I can trade Reggie Wayne for something better than who I could have drafted as a RB at that exact same pick. Does that make sense? Instead of like a Spiller, I can get something like a Grant or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't panic. Wait a week or two. Look for one of your lesser guys to go nuts and then sell high. Target players with poor matchups to start the season that you can buy low. Good luck.

Medal of Honor Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Great advice as always, Company. I appreciate it. Your advice led the team in my signature to a championship last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
