And in case he doesnt play a few weeks, Stafford is the perfect backup to have.<br /><br />Your only starting position that might be weak is Flex. But Mike Thomas and Fred Jackson could both do big things as they are WR1 and RB1 on their teams, respectively. Knox could also surprise. I definitely respect that you went sleeper toward the end of the draft as well to round out your bench.<br /><br />I wouldt get the back up TE when it is closer to the bye week. Right now it is more important to pick up any sleepers, dont want to waste a spot on a guy that you wont play for 2 months. Definitely be proud of this draft.<br /><br />Glad you enjoy the site.

I'm wondering what you think of the results and also if you have any advice for players I should ditch.<br /><br />It's a 12-team Yahoo Standard league (non-PPR), Starts QB, 2RB, 2WR, TE, 1Flex, D, K with 6 Bench spots<br /><br />I drafted 10th:<br /><br />1. LeSean McCoy RB<br />2. Calvin Johnson WR<br />3. Felix Jones RB (Might've reached, but got nervous that 16 RBs were gone by now)<br />4. Peyton Manning QB (a lot of QBs gone too, was between him and Romo. Right choice?)<br />5. Wes Welker WR (iffy pick, but had him higher than anyone else at WR)<br />6. Vernon Davis TE (Witten went right before me)<br />7. Mike Thomas WR<br />8. Fred Jackson RB<br />9. Matt Stafford QB (my Manning insurance policy)<br />10. Johnny Knox WR<br />11. Willis McGahee RB<br />12. Danny Amendola WR<br />13. Delone Carter RB (rushed pick and I wanted another RB. Maybe when Addai gets hurt?)<br />14. DET Defense<br />15. Rob Bironas K<br /><br />Some surprises during the draft:<br /><br />--Eight Defenses were chosen off the board by the end of Round 9 (one of them in Round 5!). I figured I had more work to do in terms of the rest of my team.<br />--First Kicker was chosen in Round 9 (Crosby).<br /><br />So, overall, how does my team look? Where should I look to improve? Some notable FA's are Antonio Brown, Meachem, Burleson, Jacoby Ford, James Jones, Gaffney, Hardesty, Jacquizz Rodgers, Ringer, Choice, McCluster.<br /><br />Also, do I need a TE on the bench? Shiancoe, Kendricks, Gresham, Heath Miller, Ben Watson, Kevin Boss are all in FA. Should I go get one now or wait until Week 7 when Davis has a Bye?<br /><br />Thanks again for providing this site, I'll be checking in probably every day until the end of the season!Dudenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-20493029881919553212011-08-30T18:58:33.582-04:002011-08-30T18:58:33.582-04:00if brown becomes #2 in pitt, when do you think it ...if brown becomes #2 in pitt, when do you think it will beBilly Jeannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-70509074130631313962011-08-30T16:53:33.133-04:002011-08-30T16:53:33.133-04:00I like Smith over upside in this.

I'll make sure to put your strategy into effect, so thank you.<br /><br />The stats that I like to look at while ranking are yards per game and touchdown total. for pretty much all positions.<br />QB standard scoring is 1 point for 25 yards, so you definitely want to count that in there as elite QBs can get upwards off 300 in a game. TDs are also valuable and count for 4 points.<br />RBs you want to look at yards per game and TDs, same for receivers and tight ends.<br />For a kicker, there are different points for distance of field goal, but dont discount the value of the extra point.<br />For defense I generally shuffle them based on matchup and play whichever D is available facing the worst offense.<br /><br />Hope this helped you out a little bit. Its fairly simple once you understand the scoring systems. My player rankings are here if that will help get you started. http://godhateslosers.blogspot.com/2011/08/2011-fantasy-football-position-rankings.htmlgodhateslosersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-62608464339636306672011-08-26T16:17:12.136-04:002011-08-26T16:17:12.136-04:00Hey man, I'm new to Fantasy Football but I'...Hey man, I'm new to Fantasy Football but I'm really loving this site. I've been big into Fantasy Hockey for a while now (and have been pretty successful), and one of my strategies going into those drafts is to separate players by each position into different Tiers (usually 1-4). <br /><br />I'm hoping to employ that same strategy before my Football draft this Tuesday, but I'm not sure which statistical evidence I should be looking at in order to separate the players into Tiers. <br /><br />I'm a firm believer in getting the most value possible with every pick. So, for example, if I can get a Tier 1 WR over a Tier 2 QB, despite not yet having a QB, I still take the WR.<br /><br />In hockey I look at Points (Goals/Assists) to classify the players into Tiers, but those leagues have a different scoring system than fantasy football so I'm not sure what the major stats are to look at for each position here. Is it Total Yards? Yards per game? TD's? I'll be playing in a Yahoo league with Standard settings (not PPR).<br /><br />If you have any advice on how I can go about forming my Tiers at each position, I'd really appreciate it!<br /><br />Thanks a lot, and please keep this site up!Dudenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-44489106427055068532011-08-26T13:51:11.747-04:002011-08-26T13:51:11.747-04:00I say go for it.
