New guy here, thought I would try this out.

Hows it going Fantasy fans? I thought to get my myself introduced here I would see what you guy's thought about my team. This is a 16 team league. Scoring is as follows, 4 points for TD pass, 6 for rush or receiving TD's, and bonus's for 100 yards rushing or receiving, and 300 yards passing. Yeah I know strict scoring, but this league has been going for 30 years, well before the internet made it easier, and we still call in our rosters over the phone every Sunday morning. Anyways I had the 6th pick in the 1st round and heres how it went.

QB Peyton Manning
RB Jamal Charles
RB Jerome Harrison
WR Marques Colston
WR Hakeem Nicks
TE Jermicheal Finley
K Lawrence Tynes
DEF Chargers
Bench
QB Josh Freeman
RB Leon Washington
RB Chester Taylor
WR TJ Houshmanzedah (we knew he was released when we picked him)
WR Jabar Gaffney
K John Kasay

Well with the scoring you said taking manning with the 6th pick was prolly a bad idea. RB's and WR's are on a different level in a league like this. But I guess who really cares because you have a top 3 QB. Your first pick and there being 16 teams is the reason for a lot of your weaknesses. Charles as a RB1 is pretty sketchy, especially with Thomas taking a lot of his carries away from him. After Charles your RB's drop extremely quick. Its the same thing for your WR's too, the drop from Colston to Nicks is pretty big. You could really use a RB2 or WR2, decide which you want more and target one...I would go RB2 because I like nicks a lot more than I like Harrison.

Usually we always draft for strong RB's and WR's, mostly RB's, but the RB field just seems weak this year with guys getting older, injury prone, and everybody splitting carries. Year after year our rb loaded teams would put up big points until about week 10 when guys got tired, and we started to lose due to our lack of QB points. As even in this scoring system, the best QB's tend to put up the highest numbers. 2 guys in our division picked before us, and they took Rodgers, and Bree's. Our strategy was if we can't land Peterson, CJ, or MJD were taking Rodgers or Brees. Since they were both gone to division opponents, we took Manning. We were sure to grab Colston, and Finley, top targets of the other top QB's, to counter the other top QB's that we must play twice each. I think in sticking to our strategy we built a good enough starting roster. Harrison is a Cleveland Brown, I know this, but with Hardesty out he is the only Brown who will be getting the ball much of the time. A feature type back is rare these days, and getting one is a luxary, no matter what team he plays for. You don't think that Chester Taylor may soon be getting more carries than Matt Forte? Or that Leon Washington could emerge has the number 1 in SEA? I think we drafted well for having a plan A, plan B, and a plan C (waivers). Same with the recievers, if Housh goes to maybe MIN, you cant tell me in that in a 16 team league you wouldnt want the option of Nicks or Housh every week, to go with Colston, not to mention the chance that Gaffney has to breakout in DEN. My team is based all on upside, and I respect your opinion but can not agree with Manning being a bad pick, or that my style of drafting has led me to my own weaknesses. My other league which drafts on Wednesday, I have the 2nd pick (also 16 teams) So I will be stockpiling RB's again, and hoping to grab a mid range QB later on, (Mcnabb, Kolb, Favre) I'll post on how that goes, but I really believe this is the best team I've had in years.
