Default Fantasy Football Advice

I'm drafting 6th out of 14.



Based on these scoring rules are... is there any type of player who moves up or moves down from them.

I'd hate to just piss money away because I didn't get the rules and drafted the wrong type of player for scoring too high.

How do these scoring rules differ from your typical scoring rules?

Do they make any position more important than your normal scoring rules would?

Hard to read but it looks like a QB league.

At the 6 hole, I would take Tom Brady if he is available. If not, take a RB and then take a QB on the turn. I guess you could consider Philip Rivers at that solt also.

Fantasy drafts are usually Monkey-see / monkey do. Someone will draft a TE and then a run of picks on TE will happen. IMO, leagues are usually won from your picks from R3 to R7

at 2 points/reception, i'd move up possesion receivers and running backs like ray rice that get thrown at a lot. most ppr leagues are 1 point or less. that seems to be the biggest difference other than scoring categories for avg yards/game. possession guys will also help you there since they'll almost always hit the 3 minimum.

3 catches = a touchdown. that's pretty ridiculous. get possesion guys and let everyone else try to find the new randy moss.

I agree on the monkey see monkey do. That's one thing I keep hearing.

Why do you say QB league?

I know these type of things wildly favor RBs -- but I would think this is more of a RB, WR league than even your typical from a scan of it ... but like I said, I never play these.

Thanks. This is pretty helpful.

I might draft every Rams WR with Josh McDaniels going there... and with Bradford having a good year under him ... and with that O-line looking better.

A couple of late round sleepers or players that seem to begoing lower than potential value:

Mid Rounds

WR Brandon Marshall (mia)
RB Tim Hightower (Wash)

Late round sleeper
WR Andre Roberts (ariz)
WR Greg Little (Clev)

thanks. I need all the tips I can get.

I LOVE Jahvid Best. Especially based on what Hi I'm God said. Dude is a pass catching back playing in a dome and a 2nd year guy coming off minor injury -- he's going to explode this year.

Who are the most improved and least improved run defenses this year?


The Eagles are starting a rookie 4th round pick at MLB? They have those 3 big corners and Vick ... I bet everyone is going to be able to run on them.

The fucl<in Jets look like they have a strong O-line and are strong on D against the run and pass. If there passing game doesn't blow I bet they will be tough.

Issue with best is concussions, he is one hit away from being done....he is solid though. I have Stafford as a keeper and considering rolling the dice that he stays healthy this year

We are doing 14 teams and 21 rounds....

that's like almost 300 players.

Forget Randy Moss -- I will probably draft Osama bin Laden before it's over.

21 rounds is insane.

14 teams is where it is at though. It is hard to get lucky in a 14 team league and it spreads the talent out. The 4th/5th/6th/7th/8th round picks are the ones that will win the league for you.

I would take best WR available. Definately points favor wise receivers. Andre Johnson should be the first guy picked in that league

Looks as though 6 NTers have no fear.



They have self id'd as Fantasy FB Zealots.

There's something about ''Fantasy" Football that just delivers the wrong message.

It's them,right??

Here's how it played out


Mid 1st: Chris Johnson (6th running back -- Titans plays easiest RUN D sched)

Mid 2nd: Vincent Jackson (Contract year -- 7th WR taken)

Mid 3rd: Peyton Manning (10th QB taken ... WTF?)

Mid 4th: Ahmad Bradshaw (He can catch them)

Mid 5th: Colston (Saints play easiest Pass D sched)

Mid 6th: Sidney Rice (SeaHawks 4th longest shot to win Super ball. Garbage time king)

Mid 7th: Reggie Bush (Can catch the football -- and who else can run it for MIA?)

Mid 8th: Brandon Pettigrew (Healthy Stafford -- good young posses TE)

Mid 9th: Pierre Thomas (best RB on a team that projects for NFL's easiest D sched)

Mid 10th: Danny Woodhead (When the Pats sign Randy Moss by week 2 -- this pick will be ABSOLUTELY MAJESTIC)

Mid 11th: Dustin Keller (excellent young possession TE starter)

Mid 12th: Snelling (back up RB in Atlanta. If the ancient Turner gets hurt - this pick is majestic)


Other Notables:

Louis Murphey (14th round) -- OAK's best WR -- one of the many NFL stars who made Tim Tebow look like a real QB in college.

New Orleans D (15th round) -- 11th D taken overall ... NO's projected to win 10.5 games this year .. play CAR twice ... play in dome = Turnovers.

I was planning to draft Randy Moss in the 18th round .. but he got scooped up. Biggest surprise to me all-night. I was going to take Moss in the 16th ... but these 13 other geeks were all studying sheets like mad ... so, I was counting on Moss to go undrafted. Woodhead was the Moss pick though.

not bad. Reggie Bush could have a huge year this year.

You better hope Chris Johnson gets a contract though

Chris Johnson actually needs to, you know, report to camp first. Peyton Manning hasn't thrown a football since like January. So yeah, that explains that.

good thing though is Peyton came off the PUP list and is expected now to play week 1.

I've never played Fantasy Football... are you only supposed to draft one QB?

Generally, one has a starter and backup. In 2011, if Peyton were my starter, I'd absolutely be drafting some sort of backup.
