2015 Rate My Team Thread

Re: 2015 Rate My Team Thread

First draft of the season today:

12 team, half-ppr. 2 RB, 2 WR, 2 Flex. I picked 7th, snake draft.

1.7 - Lamar Miller
2.6 - Allen Robinson
3.7 - Amari Cooper
4.6 - Demaryius Thomas
5.7 - Jeremy Hill
6.6 - Frank Gore
7.7 - Melvin Gordon
8.6 - Josh Gordon
9.7 - Duke Johnson Jr (Keeper)
10.6 - Ben Roethlisberger
11.7 - Michael Thomas
12.6 - Ladarius Green
13.7 - Los Angeles Rams
14.6 - Michael Crabtree (Keeper)
15.7 - Jared Cook (drafted in agreement to be traded 1-for-1 for Zach Miller)
16.6 - Jameis Winston
17.7 - Chris Hogan
18.6 - Dan Carpenter

QB - Ben Roethlisberger, Jameis Winston
RB - Lamar Miller, Jeremy Hill, Frank Gore, Melvin Gordon, Duke Johnson
WR - Allen Robinson, Amari Cooper, Demaryius Thomas, Michael Crabtree, Josh Gordon, Michael Thomas, Chris Hogan
TE - Ladarius Green, Zach Miller (from Jared Cook trade)
D/ST - Los Angeles Rams
K - Dan Carpenter

I feel pretty good about this draft. I think I got some absolutely great value with a few of the picks. I did take a few chances/make some reaches (Josh Gordon, Michael Thomas). Only position I don't feel good about is tight end; got caught in a cycle where the guys I was targeting earlier kept getting drafted just ahead of me.

Re: 2015 Rate My Team Thread

^ Matt Jones in the 13th round. WTF. He just got injured, but i mean he is the unquestioned RB1 on a decent team.

Here's mine. We drafted last night. I've missed the playoffs back2back years now, but pretty happy with my team. My RBs could be really bad or really good though. There were some guys I was targeting, but I mostly decided to go Best Available this year. I wasnt targeting him where I expected him to go, but I felt like I got a crazy steal in the 3rd. And yes, I have 3 suspended players. I was targeting Gordon, but the others I just couldn'T help myself. Hopefully I can tread water for the first 3-4 weeks.

12 teams Standard Scoring(3WR, 2RB, NO FLEX)
1.9 AJ Green
2.4 Leveon Bell
3.9 Allen Robinson
4.4 CJ Anderson
5.9 Eric Decker
6.4 Arian Foster
7.9 Tom Brady
8.4 Josh Gordon
9.9 Jay Ajayi
10.4 Tyrod Taylor
11.9 Jason Witten
12.4 Christine Michael
13.9 Rams DST
14.4 Chris Boswell

QB- Brady, T. Taylor
RB(2)- L. Bell, CJ Anderson, Foster/Ajayi, C. Michael
WR(3)- AJ Green, A. Robinson, E. Decker, J. GorDon
TE- J. Witten (whatever)
DST- Rams(for week 1 at least)
K- Boswell (whatever)

Not bad considering the risks. If available, I'd drop Michael and pick up Booker. Without a flex spot, the handcuff should be more valuable than taking a chance on Michael getting the job.

Re: 2015 Rate My Team Thread

12 man standard league. I had 4th pick.

Not so sure about your draft here, rangerrick...

I think you went to high on Big Ben (and a QB in general), and considering you took a QB so early (and then another WR which was a good pick), getting a TE that early was probably a mistake and it really put you behind the 8 ball on RBs. Your WRs are pretty good. You may want to start shopping now to improve your RBs

Looks pretty good. I guess you believe Green when he says his issue is still the injury and not the concussions? I'm not a fan of Hill (especially in a PPR) but he's worth a shot with the depth you've got behind him, for sure.

Yeah I panicked when I saw QBs start coming off the board early. Reached on big Ben. Idk if I like any rbs that much so that's why I waited so long to take one.

Idk what to think with Green. I kinda got caught with my pants down on that one, so I started scrambling to find another TE. I like Miller anyway, but he got drafted just before me. I lucked out that the person was only drafting him as a back up and didn't realize he had the same bye as Gronk, so they were willing to trade with me if I got another tight end for them, ergo the Cook pick. Not really sure what they were thinking. Sefarian-Jenkins is out there as a free agent too, and if I hear any more news on Green, I could snag him.

I'm not a fan of Hill either, he was one of those guys I drafted because he got left on the board. Bernard was already gone, and I really wanted Forte, but he went a pick or two before me. I feel good enough about my RB depth, that as long as Miller is what I expect him to be, I can rotate the second spot as necessary.

Re: 2015 Rate My Team Thread

Hill's being super undervalued. I'll gladly take him where he's been going. Just last year he was a late first rounder, and he's young. There are backs going in the 30s that I'd rank lower than him.

I hear you... hopefully it doesn't hurt you too much but you'll probably need to make some moves to be competitive throughout the year.

Undervalued in general, maybe. But as a starting RB2 in a ppr league, I'll pass. I will say that if I ended up with him being the best back on the board and I only have 1, I'd do exactly what Bmore Irish did... make sure I have a good number of quality options behind him.

Re: 2015 Rate My Team Thread

My fault. I didn't see that it was PPR.

Re: 2015 Rate My Team Thread

It was a ten man league, pick number three and it is PPR.

Re: 2015 Rate My Team Thread

Ten team drafts are hard to judge, but your team looks decent. I probably wouldn't have taken the chance on 2 top QBs in a 10 teamer... everyone should have a good QB so it'll be hard to make a trade once Brady is back from suspension, and you'll have a stud on the bench weekly.

Keep an eye on the Ravens preseason. Forsett could be huge in a ppr league, but he could also lose his job. It's very up in the air right now. If it does look like he's going to be phased out, in a ppr, the next target (based on play so far in preseason) would be Terrance West.

Re: 2015 Rate My Team Thread

12 team league, basically standard scoring:

QB: Big Ben
RB: Doug Martin
RB: Carlos Hyde
WR: Antonio Brown
WR: Sammy Watkins
Flex: (see bench options)
TE: Dwayne Allen
K: Nobody at the moment
Defense: Nobody at the moment

Bench:
Allen Hurns
Jeremy Langford
John Brown
Corey Coleman
Justin Forsett
Darren Sproles
Taejae Sharpe
Mike Wallace
Dorial Green-Beckham
Matt Stafford

I'll have to cut two of these guys for a kicker and a defense at some point, but I'm really struggling with who the cuts should be. Stafford seems like a safe guy to cut since I have Big Ben and Stafford was my final pick anyways. I'm leaning towards DGB as the 2nd cut, but I might just go without a kicker for week 1 to see how Philly uses him. I don't know.

Would appreciate advice on the cuts.

Pretty damn good, YTG.

For "basically a standard league" I'd cut Sproles and not think twice about it. The other would probably be DGB. How many weeks are you really going to play him over anyone besides Wallace or Sharpe... who aren't getting any time besides bye weeks or injury anyway.

Don't cut Stafford... Ben always gets hurt.

I'd get a defense asap... kicker I can understand, but defenses aren't AS unpredictable.
