Hey, I wouldn't mind giving it a shot this year. I swear I'm going to do a lot better with my football predictions now that I'm much more settled down than I was a year ago.

I've already started to see fantasy football magazines in the stores.

 

I'll do it again.

 

I think I signed up really late last year and was in the 2nd league. I really don't care what league I'm in this year, as long as I'm in one of them. I have to do better than the generic 10th place I got last year.

Just bumping this to get thoughts on my early startup Keeper league draft. Note: We keep 4 players each year and 1 "rookie" project for 3 years.

 

Starting Roster: 1 QB/2 RB/3 WR/1 TE/1 K/1 DEF

 

Traditional scoring including 1 PPR. Bracketed number = # of position taken aka #12 = #12 RB or QB, etc.

 

1.08: RB Willie Parker (#8 RB)

2.05: RB Shaun Alexander (#14 RB)

3.08: WR Terrell Owens (#10 WR)

4.05: WR Donald Driver (#16 WR)

5.08: RB Ahman Green (#26 RB)

6.05: WR Isaac Bruce (#24 WR)

7.08: DEF Chicago Bears (#2 D)

8.05: QB Ben Roethlisberger (#12 QB)

9.08: WR Muhsin Muhammad (#39 WR)

10.05: RB Warrick Dunn (#41 RB)

11.08: QB Rex Grossman (#19 QB)

12.05: WR Marty Booker (#52 WR)

13.08: TE Randy McMichael (#14 TE)

14.05: **QB Brady Quinn** (#22 QB)

15.08: PK Neil Rackers (#9 PK)

16.05: WR Eric Parker (#64 WR)

Surprised you managed to get Alexander that late. If he is healthy you should be pretty dominant with 2 legit #1 fantasy WRs (Driver is low end #1, but still a 1) and two #1 fantasy RBs. Like McMichael that late. Not a Big Ben fan, but with the ammo you got in the first four rounds, something is obviously going to give. What QBs were still around in the round 5-6 area? If McNabb or Bulger were still kicking around they would have been a great compliment to the top 4, if not then there would really be no damage in waiting and getting Ben.

 

Question: PPR league, no 5 pick (this year's death slot IMO). Assume LT, Jackson, LJ and Gore are the first four picks (If any of these four slipped to 5 they'd be the pick). Who ya got Westy, Addai, Alexander, or other? I am leaning toward Westy because the receptions are huge. I worry about Alexanders health/OLine and Addai's numbers last year being massively inflated by running over the Eagles atrocious run D last year.

 

BTW, when are we planning to start this year's league?

I'd definitely be leaning towards Westbrook with Alexander as a runner up although Addai could be a sneaky little RB#2 pick who performs as a RB#1 IMO.

 

As for the QBs still around in Rounds 5/6: Vince Young, Donovan McNabb, Jon Kitna, Matt Leinart, and Jay Cutler. Only guy I would've taken would be Kitna (maybe McNabb). I'm not sold on VY or Leinart/Cutler just yet.

 

The reason I chose Rambo (my nick for Roethlisberger b/c of his usually high YPA) is because he finished at 14.95 FPPG last season on a big down year. I think he could top 16+ if he gets back to a normal solid season (That'd put him at QB11 last year if he was at 16.00).

With the current state of the NFL wouldn't it fair to say wait until week 3 of the pre-season before even thinking of doing anything? I mean the new commish is out on a mission to put all of the so called "bad influences" of the sport in jail or suspended indefinitely! And let's not forget the career killing injuries that happen early and of course the Madden curse!

Anyone else see the fantasy draft from a league of a group of NFL players on various FSN/CSN affiliates? I got through the first round and couldn't do stand anymore. It was a group of 8 players, the 5th pick took Tom Brady, the 8th pick took Drew Brees. It was almost as bad as the ESPN fantasy show a couple years ago where the one chick took Brett Favre in the second round because he looked like he was having fun.
