My league has a very different scoring system, the best I can simplify it to is this.
QBs-pretty normal except rush yards is worth more than normal, so Vick is definitely over Rodgers as the top QB on the board. RBs-Pretty close to PPR scoring WRs-PPR scoring TEs-double the points they normally score for both yards and TDs, so TEs are big in our league and teams will at times (often) start 2 TEs (one in flex). TEs score just as well as WRs.
Also, the longer the TD the more points its worth, for every position.
Bench QB-K. Kolb RB-R. Mendenhall (if Celek is at Flex), F. Jones, DeA. Williams WR-K. Britt, D. Amendola, AJ Green, M. Crabtree TE-B. Celek (if Mendenhall at flex) K-J. Feely D-Minnesota (plays Carolina week that Chicago is on bye).
Yes, we are required to carry a backup K, backup D, and backup QB, every other bench position after that is up to us.
interesting team...i think mendenhall needs to be flex even with a ppr scoring....
QB's: rivers, flacco RB's: d. williams, thomas jones, bradshaw, woodhead, ricky williams WR's: Wayne, s. moss, boldin, wallace TE: keller, lewis K: def: chargers
Agreed that Mendenhall needs to start over Celek if PPR style. Curious you talk about how big TEs are in your league yet your TE aren't really anything special. Finely is good yes.. but after that why not go for a clark, witten, daniels or even winslow? Nothing against Celek, but i don't think he holds up against those other guys.. Did they go fast off the board? Pretty solid team.. I worry about Charles being RB1 but thats just me.. really nothing to support this thought. I probably woulnd't have went with a backup k and d.. just pick a good matchup from FA if needed.

And so on, so the only option I had TE wise really at 1.08 was Finley or Clark (Charles was a keeper, we can keep 2 players we drafted in the 6th rd or later from the previous year only). I chose Finley over Clark because he has more upside this season as long as he can stay healthy.
I think you got a decent squad , mendenhall as flex and you solid. YOu might be able to get some value out of ammendola. if someone is looking for wr he should be good in most ppr leagues.

Also, why did you guys choose this ridiculous coring system? Do you change it every year?
Our scoring may change VERY slightly from year to year to adjust to the NFL. Most years go without rule changes, but we do vote on ideas every year at the year end banquest.
Why do we have this "ridiculous scoring system"? Think about it for one second, learn what it does to a fantasy league, play it for one season, and you will never go back.
This allows someone who is picking 1st or 10th to get a player who is just as valuable. It makes every position (not Ks and Ds) just as important (as it is in the real NFL, except QBs now are more important).
Can't Gates or Clark dominate a game just as easily as ADP, Andre Johnson, etc? If they can in real life then why not in fantasy football?
Last, it gives us COMPLETE roster flexibility, if it is a valid NFL lineup (that you will really see), you can use it in our league. We go 1 QB, 1 K, and 1 D, after that nearly completely open 5 spots (can't go with 5 RBs, or 5 TEs, but if it is a real lineup you will see on Sundays anything from 2 RB, 2 TE, 1 WR to 5 WRs, you can use it).
So that's it, trust me, I have played FF since the pencil and paper days, and this is by far the best league and scoring setup I've ever seen. It is definitely more complicated and takes more thought to draft and pick lineups than the typical 1 pt for 10 yards and draft 8 or 9 RBs in the first round crap.
What seems more interesting to you, a draft that is pretty close to predetermined by ADPs and you are nearly guaranteed to see 8 RBs drafted and maybe 1 QB and 1 WR, or a draft where you would see anywhere from 2-3 TEs, 1-2 WRs, 1-2 QBs, and 3-6 RBs? To me it takes more thought and more planning to work out a plan for that type of draft.
not bad. I REALLY like your WRs. good job there. On the other hand, you NEED a stronger running back. I would trade charles and green for lesean mccoy or something like that. Charles is not a viable #1 RB at the moment. Mendenhall is great, but won't play at the start of the season, so start green at flex. other than that, looks solid
