Just Drafted. What do you think?? WHIR 100%

Postby bigdogg712 » Wed Sep 07, 2011 9:45 pm

I am in a no ppr, 10 team league, on ESPN. I just drafted, how did I do?

QB: Ben Roethlisberger
RB: Rashard Mendenhall
RB: Michael Turner
RB/WR: Santonio Holmes
WR: Desean Jackson
WR: Dwayne Bowe
TE: Owen Daniels
DST: Steelers DST
K: Alex Henery

BN: Johnny Know
BN: James Starks
BN: James Jones
BN: Ricky Williams
BN: Danny Amendola
BN: Lee Evans
BN: Mark Sanchez

I had the last pick, but I like the last pick because I get the bookends. So, how did I do?

What do you think my strong/weak points are? What would you do to improve? How far do you think my team will go? What are your opinions about my team?

Thanks!!

hi bigdog,

Sorry I didn't check your roster. You'll notice that there are 3 pages of responses to my post... sometimes I do miss people but I generally try to help.

As far as your team goes... I am a PPY player personally, so I tend to pay less attention to the number of touches a player gets.

However, everything looks solid here... Mendenhall you know will always get the ball, my question though is DeSean Jackson. In a PPR league is he a big points scorer? I expect he is gonna see a lot of yardage, but perhaps not so many touches, especially with defenses trying... trying... to double team him. Add in all the other Philly weapons: Maclin, Avant, Smith (eventually), Celek, McCoy and Vick, now there are more fingers in that offensive pie.

The word in GB is an equal split between Grant and Starks right? So why wouldn't you put him as the flex instead of holmes especially if Starks gets the red zone carries?

Perhaps I need more education on this type of league.

Hope that helps, let me take a look at your other topic

I like your starting corps of QB, RB1, RB2, WR1, and WR2 - very nice job getting Bowe as WR2. But beyond that I think your best player is Lee Evans. The addition of Burress makes Holmes lesser and lesser each week. Starks might be a solid player for you if he does indeed split with Grant.
QB: BREES, Cutler
RB: TURNER, MCGAHEE, R. JENNINGS, Leshoure, D. Williams, Hillman, Hunter, Dwyer
