Just looking to show off our draft August 20th, 6 points for all touchdowns, 1 point for 15 Rushing/Receiving yards, 4th Down stops was the only thing added to defense Overall I thought my draft was pretty much perfect, went exactly as I wanted it to. I drafted 2nd overall and was able to wait until the 8th round for Matt Ryan (I was the last one to select my starting QB), third year in a row that I’ve had Calvin Johnson, not a fan of Austin Collie but he was the best player on the board that wasn’t on my sleeper list. IMO Huge years ahead for Jimmy Graham, Tim Hightower, and Sims-Walker. Within the league the only ones that I’m worried about are 5th and 9th pick. They know what they are doing as well and are looking to take 1st place this year, and then the 1st overall pick by default. WHIR of course or I will at least comment on your team

I'm a little worried about Garrett Hartley as your RB2, but other than that I really like the team
I think you have a great RB group and some solid WRs to go along with them. How did you get AP and Calvin? Is this a keeper league, or were people just crazy low on him and he somehow fell to 19th overall? I like all your starters other than Collie, and you certainly have solid depth at the skill positions as well. I think Teams 3, 5 and 9 will be your biggest competition ...

hahaha I knew I messed up somewhere, expected to get crap for it. Meant to write Steven Jackson who I grabbed in the 3rd Round followed my Blount. I drafted AP second overall and yeah Calvin just plummeted, the people towards the end of the draft went QB/RB or WR/RB, the only ones off the board whenever I picked Calvin were Roddy White, Andre, and Greg Jennings

If I can trade Collie I will
Jennings ahead of Calvin is almost as insane as Calvin in the 3rd round, but take it! Jackson as your RB2 makes me like the team even more - I think you really knocked it out of the park with your first 5 picks, and you really did nothing after that to lessen my opinion of the squad
On paper I think you have the best team. Your bench is ridiculous with Bradford, Julio, Hightower, MSW and Graham, the latter may very well rival Witten in fantasy points. Great trade bait if needed. Barring injury, I would be absolutely shocked not to see you in contention for top spot. It may be as good a roster I have seen posted here for a 10 teamer. Well done. Just for comparison here is my roster in one of my 10 team leagues (I finished tied for 1st last season - lost in tiebreak)
QB - Rodgers, Bradford RB - MJD, Mathews, Grant, R Brown, D Carter WR - C Johnson, Bowe, Manningham, Bess, S Smith (PHI) TE - Finley, Gresham K - J Brown

yeah I was shocked about Graham.
good roster right there. Had Finley last year and was so disappointed when he went down. Gresham is a star in the making imo.
I was going to attempt to orchestrate a trade for another elite WR or RB due to my depth, I don't like Austin Collie so ideally he is going to be one of the players involved in the deal other players I would potentially move are either Graham or Witten, Jackson, Daniel Thomas, Julio.
Any commentary on who I could potentially target from the other teams or should I stick with my roster. I just don't trust Collie to stay healthy
update: someone dropped Eli Manning for some reason, I have #2 Waiver Priority and the #1 already has two qbs, by this happening I maximize potential points pairing him with Matt Ryan in QBBC
QB Matt Ryan, Eli Manning WR Calvin Johnson, Mike Williams (TB), Austin Collie, Julio Jones, Mike Sims-Walker RB Adrian Peterson, LeGarrette Blount, Stephen Jackson, Tim Hightower, Daniel Thomas TE Jason Witten, Jimmy Graham K Alex Henery DEF NY Giants
Just sent trade offer sending Austin Collie and Daniel Thomas for Chad Ochocinco and Michael Bush
I'm sitting in an 0-2 hole, didn't play Blount last week and payed for it.
Jermichael Finley and Danny Woodhead got traded for Darren McFadden, owner dropped Ryan Mathews ??? so I'm prowling around on waivers and the ex-Finley owner needs a Tight end and wants Jimmy Graham, I said in exchange for Brandon Marshall which improves both our teams. If everything goes according to plan my new lineup is 1 QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 W/R, 1 K, 1 Def
QB Matt Ryan, Eli Manning WR Calvin Johnson, Mike Williams (TB), Brandon Marshall, Julio Jones, Mike Sims-Walker RB Adrian Peterson, Steven Jackson, LeGarrette Blount, Tim Hightower, Ryan Mathews TE Jason Witten K Matt Bryant DEF NY Giants, Detroit
if it ends up this way there is no reason why I can't win out with such a high quality team
