It'd be a decent 12 team league, but unless Fitzgerald finally goes off again and your rb2 is solid I think you may struggle.

Not thrilled with my draft tonight, but it should be ok, biggest problem is that RBs dried up quicker then i expected. And got stuck with no one worthy of being picked and i took a defense and a kicker way early, also managed to forget i had drafted 2 TEs already and i grabbed a 3rd.

Doug Martin
Brandon Marshall
Julio Jones
Vincent Jackson
Laveon bell
Ryan Matthews
Chicago D
Tom Brady
Jermichael finley
Eric decker
Chris ivory
Jarred cook
Blair Walsh
Zac stacey
Michael Floyd
Jay cutler
Tyler eifert

We start 1qb, 2 RB, 3 wr, 1 te, 1 d, 1 k, 1 wr/RB



Well, i was already weak at RB in this league, and now Im in trouble if bell's injury is as bad as it can be

My bad, it is a 10 team league. Yup, I suck at fantasy.

I'm scared to do an auction draft because I have no idea what I'm doing.

I have Jared Cook too. He looked good last night. And Deandre Hopkins. I'm hoping he tears it up early

Not sure how I feel about this team...

QB: Colin Kaepernick, Christian Ponder
RB: LeSean McCoy, Eddie Lacy, Lamar Miller, Shonn Greene
WR: Dewayne Bowe, Mike Williams, Josh Gordon, Kenbrell Thompkins, Deandre Hopkins, Andre Roberts
TE: Jimmy Graham
DEF: Arizona
K: Stephen Gostkowski

14 team league. Projected starters in bold (except Gordon who's out first two weeks).

For a 14 man league that's pretty good, dude.

I think Mccoy will bounce back. You have a good number 2 in either Lacy or Miller, but both? I don't know. Hard to tell with rookies.

You might be thin at WR but you have to remember that you have that weird alien Jimmy Graham.

And I think Kaepernick has a good head on his shoulders. He should be fine. That and I have Boldin on my team so I need him to throw well.

And who knows with Josh Gordon? I'm a believer in Brandon Weeden.

Yeah I basically consider Graham my number one receiver. Something malfunctioned and it took Bowe for me in Round 5. I didn't have anybody in my queue and was deliberating over a few players, and it just automatically drafted him for me. I kinda wanted Antonio Brown there.

I just worry a bit about Kaepernick getting hurt or SF's receivers being a little thin. I do really like McCoy this year.

Bowe is fine. He's in a pass heavy offense under Andey Reid, and Alex Smith isn't bad.

That's actually pretty solid for a 14 team. Smith is a bit of a check down guy but having Charles out of the backfield will help with Bowe. You have a pretty good stable of RBs.

Cook will be good this year. not a gronk but more than serviceable. Hopkins is a freak once this concussion is cleared up he is going to be pretty good.

10th in a 12 team league. TE same as WR

QB: T. Brady, S. Bradford
RB: T. Richardson, S. Vereen, V. Ballard, M. Ingram
WR: AJ Green, James Jones, S. Johnson, D. McCluster
TE: M. Bennett, J. Cameron
K: B. Walsh, S.Hauschka
DST: Ariz, TB

Richardson was my first pick followed by Green on the wrap around.
It was Brady or Cam for my QB late in the 3rd. I couldn't believe either was available.
RBs aren't exciting but I bought into Shane Vereen's hype. After that it was picking at straws. Didn't realize that Bradshaw had signed with Colts until after the fact.
After AJ it's going to be playing the hot hand. But I do have some names to pick from. TEs don't mean much per se in our league but I like both of my guys as contributors. Steve Johnson probably should have gone higher than he did.
Couldn't believe Blair Walsh lasted until the 12th, after several Ks were off the board. Last three pick were DST and second kicker.

Time out.

How many rounds? And kickers are being picked before the 12th? And you drafted two of them?
