12 man league. This is also a PPR league. I had the 11th pick with 20 rounds. We start 1QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex, 1 TE, 1 Def, and 1 K.

QB's- Romo, Grossman

RB's- Reggie Bush, Willie Parker, Deangelo Williams, L. Betts, Brandon Jackson, Vernand Morency, Chris Brown

WR's- Reggie Wayne, Owens, Donald Driver, Mark Clayton, D.J. Hackett, Brandon Marshall

TE's- L.J. Smith, Eric Johnson

Def- Pittsburg, Kansas City

K- Jason Elam


I know my TE and QB's aren't outstanding but these guys kept passing up on good RB's and WR's so I kept taking them.

You guys should've seen my buddies. Right off Peyton Manning went #1 overall. There was 3 QB's taken in the first round including Palmer before Steven Jackson was taken. The guy that picked #1 that took Peyton than proceded to take Warrick Dunn with the #24 pick and Fitgerald at #25. And that was the first WR taken in the draft. They are my friends but some off them are dumb as hell.

QBs are iffy but not horrible. Great depth and talent at RB. Same with Wayne and Owens who always produce.

For a 12 team league, if you don't take home the money I'd be shocked. :pope:

Very good draft for a ppr league. I actually love your team. How the hell did you manage to draft Bush and Parker??? in a PPR league, Bush is easily a top 6 pick and Parker should not have lasted to 11 let alone second round.

Excellent team, if they are as dumb as you say (and they appear from drafting) I'm sure you will make some moves and barring catastrophic injuries could very well win the league.

Damn, you raped the poor kid. Almost a wash at WR and you get a fantastic RB upgrade. Good work.

I agree barring injuries I don't see how anyone can beat me in this league. It was riduculous. How does steven Jackson not go until #5. The guy that picked #1 took Manning over L.T. and then his RB's are Dunn, A. Peterson, and Leon Washington. Thats it, he only took 3 RB's (He has to play 2 of them) and 1 of them will see very little playing time. Pick #4 was Carson Palmer, and #8 was Tom Brady. I really couldn't believe it. There is to many stupid stories of what my friends did to tell them all. But here are some of the better ones.

1 guy drafted 4 QB's
Martin Gramatica who is on IR was drafted
Byron Leftwhitch was drafted
Mike Allstot was drafted
Larry fitzgerald was the 1st WR taken (same guy that took Peyton #1)
Greg Olson was the 5th TE taken (same guy that took Peyton)

I almost feel bad this league is $100 each and first place is 60% of that, plus 1st place gets all the money from trades which are $5 each.


I took Bush at #11 and then got Parker at #14. Travis Henry didn't go until the #5 pick of the 3rd round. And then I traded for him.

by the way the guy offered me that trade because he wanted Wayne so bad.

Made a trade.



QB- Romo, Grossman...Romo worries me. Grossman undervalued.

RB's- Bush, Parker, Henry, Betts, B. Jackson, V. Morency, Chris Brown...Surprising poor performance from Bush L/N. Parker will be fine. I cannot drink the Henry Kool-Aid, sorry. Betts in a time-share, and I personally don't like. Think BJ could surprise this year. VM's knee may linger a few more weeks, and Chris Brown is, well, Chris Brown....depth for you.

WR's- Owens, Housh, Driver, Mark Clayton, Hackett, Brandon Marshall...Owens a time bomb. I avoided him after he cost me a championship the year the Eagles banned him, so I am biased there. Housh shockingly with a bad knee that may linger throughout. Driver banged up too. Clayton will be a good #3 for you. Hackett and Marshall could be good bye week guys. You shouldve kept Wayne.

TE's- Smith, Johnson...Smith will be ok as long as he is healed. EJ was more a product of what Indy was giving l/n which was all underneath stuff. He still may surprise t/y though.

Def- Pitt, KC...pitt d will finish in the top 10 easily. very undervalued d in every draft I did. Them and GB. GB will be top 5! Kc, no.

K- Elam...you will be ok with him, but there were better options.

Do you guys like the trade? I now have 3 top 15 RB's. And still have 3 top 15 WR's.
Even before last nights game, I was high on Wayne. Him & Marv were about = l/y. Think RW passes Marv in production this year as long as they both stay helathy.


Just my two cents. Good luck.
