Since the last thread was so long, I decided to make a fresh one for easier access since there are so many moving parts.

In case it needs explanation, post your team if you want feedback. Be sure to include the number of teams in your league, PPR or Standard, and anything funky about your league or scoring system that could influence feedback.

12 Team Non PPR. I picked 2nd.

Amari Cooper Trooper
1. (2) Adrian Peterson (Min - RB)
2. (23) Peyton Manning (Den - QB)
3. (26) A.J. Green (Cin - WR)
4. (47) Carlos Hyde (SF - RB)
5. (50) Amari Cooper (Oak - WR)
6. (71) Ameer Abdullah (Det - RB)
7. (74) Vincent Jackson (TB - WR)
8. (95) Teddy Bridgewater (Min - QB)
9. (98) Kyle Rudolph (Min - TE)
10. (119) John Brown (Ari - WR)
11. (122) Darren Sproles (Phi - RB)
12. (143) Ryan Mathews (Phi - RB)
13. (146) Jordan Reed (Was - TE)
14. (167) New England (NE - DEF)
15. (170) Sebastian Janikowski (Oak - K)

I will add that Luck went 1st overall (Guy was a big Luck fan) so I essentially had my pick of the RB litter. And Luck, Rodgers, Brees, Wilson, and Roethlisberger all went before I took Manning. Quite the run on QB to say the least.

Too early on Manning imo. I think another #1 WR in that spot would've made this an A+ draft... especially since you landed Bridgewater later. With that said, you've still got great potential at WR.

Jordan Reed is a wasted spot at this point. Hopefully he's healthy all year (very unlikely) and makes drafting him worth it, but even if he is he's still 2nd TE for you. When you can, I'd drop him for someone with upside at WR or RB.

Someone dropped CJ Spiller to waivers. I generally don't like NO RB and Spiller is a walking injury, but I was thinking of scooping him.

So I just completed a ten team live draft for a head to head league with the tenth overall pick. Right now my team stands like this.

QB: Russell Wilson
WR: Odell Beckham Jr
WR: Julio Jones
WR: Golden Tate
RB: Melvin Gordon
RB: CJ Spiller
TE: Jordan Cameron
K: Phil Dawson
DEF: Carolina
BENCH: LeGarrette Blount
BENCH: Ryan Tannehill
BENCH: Isaiah Crowell
BENCH: Devin Funchess
BENCH: Stevie Johnson
BENCH: Heath Miller

Overall I think I had a fairly decent draft. I feel I ended up getting decent depth both at RB and WR. Only question marks that come up for me is at the TE Position, DEF and if I wasted a pick on Devin Funchess even though he should get more touches because of how Kelvin Benjamin is out for the season.

Compared to a walking injury at TE on a team who has a revolving door at QB, I'd scoop Spiller in a heartbeat. He is definitely a risk but his ceiling is very high.

We need more information on your league (how many teams? PPR?)

Based on your backs I'd guess you went to high on Wilson... but based on your total group of backs, I'd say you filled in your options nicely. I think Funchess is a great 4th/5th WR, especially if it's a PPR league. And Stevie Johnson should be a steal. If Jones and OBJ can stay healthy they'll carry your team. I think the TEs are better than you're giving them credit for too.

14 team standard (6pt td passes, 2rb, 2wr, flex), picking 11th and 4th.

QB Tom Brady (7), Phil Rivers (8)
RB Demarco Murray (1), Carlos Hyde (3), LeGarrette Blount(6), Fred Jackson (13)
WR Julio Jones (2), DeAndre Hopkins(4), Keenan Allen(5), Victor Cruz (9), Kevin White (14)
TE Owen Daniels (10)
DST Houston (11)
K Gostkowski (12)

Feel pretty good. It was either Murray or McCoy, because I felt I HAD to get a RB right away. Jones and Green were the Best WR1s at 18, went Jones. I'm not extremely high on Hyde, but he was the best available. Very happy Hopkins fell so far. Everyone ignored Fred Jackson, hopefully that ends up a steal. Took a flyer on White, not much left at this point, might as well roll the dice and hope he plays week 8 and beyond.
