King Drunkard: Will come to your city and beat you up for some arbitrary point values

 

[Badbird]

Why stay away from Pats players? Or Steelers or Cowboys players for that matter too?

 

[AchrisK]

My team (Weakling) below. I am not sure how I feel about it, but it will change.

QB - Aaron Rodgers (GB - QB)
WR - Malcom Floyd (SD - WR)
WR - Jacoby Jones (Hou - WR)
RB - Steven Jackson (StL - RB)
RB - Arian Foster (Hou - RB)
TE - Vernon Davis (SF - TE)
W/R/T - Brandon Jacobs (NYG - RB) (dumb pick made by Yahoo when I lost connection)
K - Ryan Longwell (Min - K) (dumb pick made by Yahoo when I lost connection)
DEF - New York (NYJ - DEF) (dumb pick made by Yahoo when I lost connection)

BN - Justin Forsett (Sea - RB)
BN - Johnny Knox (Chi - WR)
BN - Steve Breaston (Ari - WR)
BN - Brandon Pettigre (Det - TE)
BN - Matt Cassel (KC - QB)
BN - Jason Snelling (Atl - RB)

 

[AchrisK]

Yeah, I try to stay away from Steelers and Pats players. I picked Jeff Reed, but he's a kicker and they don't count as real players anyway

Ugh! Last year I hated having Hines Ward. I didn't mind Wes Welker, though.

 

[Badbird]

So you hate Hines Ward AchrisK?

 

[AchrisK]

Eh, not really, but I don't like him. He was inconsistent for fantasy purposes, and he always has that stupid grin. Also I hear he is a bit of a dirty player. Plus, he is a Steeler.

 

[Dak]

Why hate on the Steelers? They gift wrapped SD's only Super Bowl appearance. '94 AFC CHampionship game, hello.

 

[AchrisK]

...and I don't think we have beat them since.

Your running-back/receiver situation is interesting.

If I were you I'd start Jacobs over Foster, and Knox/Breaston over Floyd/Jones; throw Floyd at W/R/T.

 

[AchrisK]

Yeah, you may be right. I haven't made any adjustments, so the positions reflect how I drafted, which may just suck.

It will be interesting to see the WR situation in SD. None of the SD receivers was ever really a consistent superstar, especially with Gates there. That was probably a lame pick as early as I did it, but I am dumb.

I also dropped Snelling for Correll Buckhalter

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

^ I think you should pick up Vincent Jackson in free agency ( King let him go ) just in case.

Demaryius Thomas could be another GREAT sleeper.

Golden Tate

Kevin Walter

Mario Manningham

You have a lot of options

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

I think almost all of the teams are pretty even to be honest.

Yeah, I agree.

My draft looks good on paper but most of it is based on last year.

...and if you know anything about picking players or betting week to week on the spread, basing anything off of last year or the last week is bound for mediocrity.

 

[King Richard]

I dropped Jackson for a couple reasons: 1) If he does resign with SD, he's going to be suspended for 3 games because of his refusal to sign his RFA tender. 2) If he signs with Seattle, he probably won't get as many targets as he would in SD. If some other team decides to pick him up though I'll be watching.

 

[Mort Divine]

Grabbed Fred Taylor and dropped Darren McFadden, Taylor has been looking good lately, and McFadden is well ... McFadden.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Hey Dakryn, what is your user name in our yahoo fantasy league?

 

[Dak]

Prophets

Edit: JLM, I assume thats TomBrady, floated me the dumbest trade ever. Please don't insult me like that.

 

[Mort Divine]

Yeah it is, what was the trade?

 

[Dak]

Thomas Jones for Cedric Benson.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

^ hahahahaha You think that's bad!?

He offered me Reggie Bush for Chris Johnson!!!

 

[Mort Divine]

I'd make the trade since CJ will be on IR by week 5
