Guest Soylent Green Is People Report post Posted July 10, 2004 Eddie George is done, his days of any real fantasy use ended years ago and you'll be in trouble if you're counting on him to produce anything. Also it looks like my run of seemingly always having a top 5 pick is over, but 9th should suffice to get me either one of the lower of the top echelon of RB's, or the very best at another position. And provided we get a 16th man to allow the draft to go ahead i'll definately be there for it, even with pre-ranking i don't trust an auto-draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2004 Jamal Lewis probably isn't going to be drafted very high, especially in early drafts, since he still has legal issues and could possibly be suspended by the league. I really doubt anything will happen, but a lot of people are saying that they would be rather reluctant to use a First Round pick in their draft on him.

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2004 I wouldn't be wary of him either. I managed to nab him at the 7th pick after Clinton Portis, LaDainian Tomlinson, Priest Holes, Deuce McAllister, Shaun Alexander and Ahman Green went in the first 6 picks in my dynasty league and I have Lewis projected as the 6th best RB(Ahead of Alexander, Edge and Ricky Williams). There's a chance he gets convicted but I think there's a far greater chance that he could get off. If he falls to 8th or later and doesn't go to jail then it'll be an absolute steal. Here's my Dynasty Roster for those interested The League Site I'm the Boston Rattlesnakes Scoring = Traditional, 4 points for QB TD's and no points for ST(Special Teams) Starters = 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex WR/RB/TE, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DT Drop = # of Rookie/FA picks you have(Ex: You have 5 picks, you drop 5 players, etc.) QB's = Daunte Culpepper and Josh McCown RB's = Jamal Lewis, Stephen Davis, Thomas Jones, Kevin Faulk and Justin Fargas WR's = Darrell Jackson, Joe Horn, Peerless Price, Ashley Lelie, Antonio Bryant(Picked up off FA for Quincy Carter), Travis Taylor, Deion Branch and Michael Jenkins TE's = Dallas Clark, Boo Williams and Desmond Clark K's = Adam Vinatieri and Olindo Mare DEF's = Minnesota Vikings and Washington Redskins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Soylent Green Is People Report post Posted July 11, 2004 Damn my drafting 10th. The top 9 group of running backs will likely be gone (and even if one does fall to me it'll be Edge, who i have reservations about), yet drafting 10th it still seems too high for me to be going for a QB or WR. Hopefully someone above me goes for a Peyton or a Moss and lets one of the top RB's fall to me, since someone like a Fred Taylor isn't exactly my dream 1st round pick.

I really doubt anything will happen, but a lot of people are saying that they would be rather reluctant to use a First Round pick in their draft on him. Lewis will be an iffy pick (now that I'm actually up to date on him), and yes, I probably wouldn't use a first round pick on him myself. I'm not. drop you bastard! I don't know what position you are in the draft, but you better hope he drops a lot then. And you better pray he still is in the league when it starts this season. There's a chance he gets convicted but I think there's a far greater chance that he could get off. If he falls to 8th or later and doesn't go to jail then it'll be an absolute steal. Sadly, I'm not going to be the guy to chance it. Last few times I've picked up on the iffy guy, I've gotten screwed. So it'll drop past me. Hopefully someone above me goes for a Peyton or a Moss and lets one of the top RB's fall to me, since someone like a Fred Taylor isn't exactly my dream 1st round pick. Well, that someone isn't going to be me, I've said it before, I'll say it again: My first draft pick is a RB. Too bad for you. Gotta pray that 1 of the other 9 pick a QB or WR. Oh, and as per HarleyQuinns request, there is now a 4th bench so everyone can have a spare defense. So the draft is now 13 rounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted July 11, 2004 I'm at 15, so I have no chance at Lewis. But I will have no reservations about taking Manning or Moss if they drop that far. Pick 10 is interesting this year because it begins the RB staredown. Do you pass on a top 3 QB or WR for a guy like Kevan Barlow or Dominick Davis? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2004 Last year I think the person using the HHH team won the league while having the last pick in the draft. So anything is possible. It's a serpentine draft. That's why he won it. He has the last pick in the odd rounds, but even rounds he has the first pick. I'd rather be at #1-4 and #13-16 as you've got a higher chance of getting good quality picks in a serpentine draft. In these types of drafts, the people closer to the middle are the real losers as they've got to wait half way for making picks and thus have to plan even better than other drafters.

LaParkaMarka 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2004 I was HHH, and I actually didn't win. Came pretty close though. The only reason I did at all ok was because the draft was completely insane. I had the 20th and 21st pick in the draft, which should have been death, but a lot of the people ahead of me made some shitty picks. I definately remember the Tampa defense being taken, and I think Mike Vanderjagt was also taken. I managed to grab Ahman Green with the 20th pick, and Tiki Barber with the 21st. I also managed to pick up some quality players in later rounds, like Trent Green (who was 3rd in fantasy QBs last year) and Darrell Jackson. I don't think that will happen again this year, as everyone seems rather draft savvy. I'm guessing the Pats defense goes early, but not first-round early. And if Ahman Green is still around at the 20th pick, you are all terrible people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2004 as everyone seems rather draft savvy. ...aw, isn't that nice of you. Telling the guy that knows absolutely next to nothing about any sport other than hockey that he's savvy because he remembers his mistakes from last year and isn't making them this year. Honestly, I'm the guy who knows nothing, so don't worry. I'll do something really fucked up in this draft. Just you wait. Like, I'll bullshit everyone into thinking I'm drafting an RB with my first pick and pick up Peyton. ... I swear I'm not actually doing that one. I need my first pick to be an RB. I found out how brutal it was without one last year. And if Ahman Green is still around at the 20th pick, you are all terrible people. Depending on who gets picked in the first 4, he might be mine. Depending on who's available of course. Don't worry I will make some shitty picks again this season. I will go after teh over hyped players like Peerless Price again. At least you won't pick a starting roster that is a secondary team at best. ...then again, I went 7-9 with said team, so maybe I should say it was that bad.

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2004 That's because alot of people missed the draft for whatever the reason. #1 most over used excuse is "Wedding/Honeymoon" I missed the draft as well... And had it auto pick for me. STUPID THING~! My excuse though was I forgot about it and when I realized it was the day, I was like, "OH SHIT! I forgot to change my draft picks. Oh well, can't be that bad." ... oh, it wasn't bad at all. Just the most stupidiest drafting session ever. At least Tom got 3 defenses (all of which were good) so he could at least trade away for something. I had to trade away my star players at the time to get anything in return. Thankfully, I managed to get Holcomb and I was saved from being the league's bitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2004 I remember having a Brady/Green combo last year(seem to think it was this league, might not have been) which was pretty damn good but don't worry I'll obliterate you all despite last season's 8-8 effort. I have my own CHEAT SHEET~! so I'll pull an AlKeiper and kick all your asses in the upcoming season, whoo! At any rate, I figure I'll be nabbing either Ahman Green(doubtful since Flik looks to take him), Shaun Alexander(14, 16 and 14 Rushing TD's over the past 3 years) or Clinton Portis(Maybe DEUCE~! again, I had him last year I know for a fact). Can't remember my WR corps at all though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2004 Methinks wedding/honeymoon was a shot at me, since I'm the only one I can recall who got married during that draft. I, too ended up at the mercy of the auto draft, but I think some people don't get how to use the prerank setup. You have to go through all the players and rank them, if you set up a defense or kicker in the top 50, you will end up drafting one earlier than you would like. Flik, I am also inquiring about the scoring in our league. In my opinion, you should make it 1 point for every 25 yards passing, not every 10. If that is how the scoring is going to go, then guys like Manning, Favre, and Hasselbeck become fantasy monsters as opposed to the usual RB dominance. (unless that was what you were going for) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2004 I agree with DA or if you don't want to make it 1 point per 25 yards, at least make it 1 point per 20 yards. Comparisons of Positional Scoring 1 per 10 Top 5 QB Av. = 544 points Top 5 RB Av. = 309 points 1 per 20 Top 5 QB Av. = 351 points Top 5 RB Av. = 309 points 1 per 25 Top 5 QB Av. = 313 points Top 5 RB Av. = 309 points Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suggestions for the Yahoo league: Missed Field Goals should be (-1) Returned yards should be 30 yards per point Passing and running yards should be the same Missed Field Goals was set at 0 because I'm trying to make it so there aren't so many negative points. I want everyone to be able to go to NFL.com and simply caculate it up. Returned yards will be staying the way it is. Passing yards that a receiver catches will remain the way it is because I move it to 30 yards, and you make most WRs 7-9 rounders at best. And if I devalue it for running yards to 30 yards, it basically makes QBs the predominant fantasy valued by a wide margin and I frankly didn't want that. The way I currently have the stats is how it shall remain as it makes every position fit well. That and frankly, I'd be modifying the stats way too much lately.
