The idea is you don't drop your D on their bye week, you put them on your bench. Most teams will have a little wiggle room on their bench, it's not usual that you have to keep them all - injuries, poor performances, etc.

As I said, it's each to their own and this is only my second year but if you want multiple Ds on your team rather than more depth at the skill / scoring positions, so be it.

The thing is, by this stage in the draft you're not even looking at likely "sleepers" or good rookies, you are looking at RB's likely to score around 70-80 points in a season or WR's likely to score around 100 points in a season. I'd rather try to draft a bench D which is still likely to score highly 130+ points and can be rotated based on the match ups or used as trade bait with someone like yourself who hasn't selected a D yet. :greengrin

I managed to pick up the Bears D mid season last year who went on to finish clear at the top of the scoring charts so maybe I got lucky, but having two D's for the second half of the season seemed to help as I was able to rotate them to suit the opponents.

I'm looking at getting depth at my skill positions because :
1. Studs don't always perform,
2. Diamonds in the rough,
3. Injuries

I'm trying not to just pick up any old garbage but guys I think can produce given the right set of conditions.

I know I won't get the best D in the league but that doesn't really worry me. I think other people will have bigger concerns than their D. I mean, how often does a whole D get injured? How often does a TE, RB or WR get injured.

I'm not saying this will work, it's just my tactic for this year.

It's much easier to pick up a free agent WR or RB should injuries strike or a player have a bum season, but with only 32 D's available, there'll not be many left two pick up if you need a back up.

Are you going to play without a D against me in week 1? :greengrin

[hibsbollah]

The Late Hits pick:

TE Vance McDonald, San Francisco.

[Haymaker]

Looks like Tebow has fallen to the last round... Perfect.

[James.]

The Ravens, Eagles, Jets, Falcons and Lions were all ranked as top ten defenses last season. They finished 16th, 28th, 13th, 20th and 27th overall come the end of the year. Have to side with Max on this one - I'm looking to find the next Doug Martin or Alfred Morris rather than trying to guess what defense will be good. I picked up the Bengals of the waiver and they were great!

[Sylar]

Just so it's stated clearly, this gives Hi8sry until 3.16pm tomorrow to make his pick.

No mercy. :). I lost a first round pick because I was late to the party.

Edit : I actually missed out on two players.

Did you not get to make your picks though :confused:

[HibsMax]

Did you not get to make your picks though :confused:

Yes, after two more top running backs had already been picked.

[Sylar]

I'm expecting that we're going to be skipping Hi8sry, as he's undoubtedly out and about in London enjoying himself and not overly concerned about his final fantasy pick.

His priorities are all wrong :greengrin

We'll we kinda did didn't we as they did get to make those picks and haven't had to wait until the end :talkh:.

[lochhibs]

But. But. But. You don't need two D's, except for a bye week. Hey, each to their own. I'm happy for my competition to fill their bench spots with spare defenses and kickers. :)
none of the remaining players are better than what i have.i like having 2 D's and the ravens were the best on the board plus some weeks they will have a better match up.week 4 for example.ravens at bills and pats at falcons.easy decision there.

Ayrshire's steroidal alter-ego? :greengrin

The same thing will happen here so long as Hi8sry posts before 3.16pm tomorrow, when he can take both his picks together.

The rules are exactly the same for him as it was for Max and Ayrshire earlier and he'll be granted the same courtesy of taking both his picks when he gets around to posting. And I didn't come up these rules, so don't blame me :greengrin

You're talking about a lot of undrafted players. The ones that are left are either underrated or a crapshoot. We'll see if my strategery works.

They're trying to manage expectation with him as he's only had 1 year of top college football, but as a 15th round pick I couldn't pass him up considering what some people are saying about him.

I'll just take the Cowboys D then.

In a competitive league, almost every team has a weakness. It's almost impossible to build a team that is strong at all three core positions (quarterback, running back and wide receiver). Your backs and receivers look just fine. And while it's probably not accurate to describe a team with Matthew Stafford as weak at the position, we do think you're dangerously thin. As Tom Brady reminded us of in 2008, even quarterbacks with spotless health records can go down at any time. Thus the lack of depth at QB is what's keeping this team from getting our full endorsement.


So although this team isn't perfect (few are), it should still be a strong contender.


Players we particularly like on this team include Antonio Brown, Matthew Stafford, Cecil Shorts, DeMarco Murray, and LeSean McCoy. We have all these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.


Bottom line:
With great inseason management, we think you have about a 85 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With good inseason management, we think you have about a 75 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With average inseason management, we think you have a 62 percent chance of making the playoffs.

Tempted to see what they say about Haymaker's team :greengrin

and this is why some people use cheat sheets - not just to get a list of players listed by rank but so we can score out players once they have been drafted.

I'm not being a DB, this is my second season of FF so I have a little bit of a head start over some people.

I think he means was there any teams who don't have a player picked by one of us - i.e., did anyone pick a Cincinnati player for example (I'm aware the answer is yes).

I think all teams are represented and the Jessies will have a few players picked up during FA if they have a decent start.

Ah, gotcha. That's a great question.

I wonder if this year will be a little better re: trades. I recall last year there were very few.

[lochhibs]

In a competitive league, almost every team has a weakness. It's almost impossible to build a team that is strong at all three core positions (quarterback, running back and wide receiver). Your backs and receivers look just fine. And while it's probably not accurate to describe a team with Matthew Stafford as weak at the position, we do think you're dangerously thin. As Tom Brady reminded us of in 2008, even quarterbacks with spotless health records can go down at any time. Thus the lack of depth at QB is what's keeping this team from getting our full endorsement.


So although this team isn't perfect (few are), it should still be a strong contender.


Players we particularly like on this team include Antonio Brown, Matthew Stafford, Cecil Shorts, DeMarco Murray, and LeSean McCoy. We have all these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.


Bottom line:
With great inseason management, we think you have about a 85 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With good inseason management, we think you have about a 75 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With average inseason management, we think you have a 62 percent chance of making the playoffs.

Is there a transfer window, just noticed one of my players is out for the season

[HibsMax]

You can trade players and grab players off the waiver wire all the way through to week X (up to the playoffs, I think).

If a player is a free agent and if you're too of the waiver wire then you can get him for nothing. If other players (meaning, us, not nfl players) are above you on the waiver wire then they get first dibs. Trades happen between two teams and have to :
1) be agreeable to both players,
2) be agreed upon by all other players in the league - to prevent unfair trades happening.

Oh, my RB options are poor... I had the same as last year and... Mmm... Think I pumped you?!

I'm not being a smart-ass, I'm just genuinely not sure what's confusing about it?

The email is crystal clear in what's happening and what you need to do? :confused:

[Sylar]

Incidentally, NOLA, could you set your team up already - I want to see which RBs I might be able to tempt away from you for a decent QB :greengrin

[H18sry]

I didn't know you were allowed to trade players, I noticed you have traded with players on the open market, how do you do that as I want shot of an injured player and can't find out how to do it

When you're looking at your team, along the scroll-bar at the top are a lot of options - click on either "Add" (which has all of the free agents) or "Trade" (and then set the filter to "all available", thus showing you the better players who are available on waivers (which is like a priority list, so the worst team gets first dibs)).

The depth of available RBs on either Waiver or FA is truly depressing...

[HibsMax]

Plenty of kickers though. ;)

[Sylar]

Quite surprised I just picked up Mark Ingram on a free transfer? He's obviously not a starter but as a backup, he's probably worth about 120 points per season as he gets most of NOs goalmouth action!

Are you drunk Haymaker?! Ingram for Mikel Leshoure?!

To be honest, I didnt rate ingram last year and I doubt he will get numbers. Leshoure is just a body at the mo.

[James.]

You interested in a running back? Your situation looks pretty dire. If you're desperate I'd be willing to package something in exchange for Gronkowski. He's pretty useless up until October and I'll throw in Bennett if you're not comfortable with one tight end.

Charles and McCoy are obviously going nowhere. Murray would require a bit of negotiating but the rest are all up for discussion.

[HibsMax]

Ben Tate and Pierre Thomas and Andre Brown are looking like decent backups. :)

[Sylar]

To be honest, I didnt rate ingram last year and I doubt he will get numbers. Leshoure is just a body at the mo.

That's probably how the Lions view him too! Major injury problems the past few years and won't get much of a sniff in a pass-happy offense where Reggie Bush will get the majority of the runs.

[Sylar]

Open to negotiations for either Matthews, Tate or Brown?

Bilal Powell is supposedly the Jets #1 rb in front of chris ivory, but noone picked him I think?..if I was in the market for a rb he'd make sense.

[Sylar]

He's only starting ahead of Ivory because he has a slight hamstring knock apparently.

[HibsMax]

Maybe Mathews but no for the other two. At least not yet.

You know the score, suggest a trade and let's see what happens.

I have a stronger receiving corps and you have a stronger RB staff - bit of a stalemate :greengrin

I'm not giving Manning up and I doubt Aaron Dobson will be enough for you to give up Matthews (even though he'll probably be our #1 wide-out, he's unproven).

That's how I read it. Or at least it better be. Not convinced about either of them to be fair though.

Not optimistic for week 1 though sadly - a lot of hard matchups for some of my players (away to Green Bay, away to New Orleans, away to Dallas) so I don't expect much...

Surprised I just managed to pick up Heath Miller as a backup TE on Free Agency - he was activated from the PUP list over the weekend and is a much nicer alternative than Scott Chandler :greengrin

So low are my expectations for tonight that I've taken the NY Jets defense for my fantasy team.

They shut down Doug Martin brilliantly last week and gave Tampa no time in the pocket. Our offensive line looked dreadful last week, we're missing Vereen, Amendola, Gronk, Sudfield...

I can't see where our points come from tonight so what the hey, I'm rolling the dice.

I don't want to be some overbearing dictator, it's all for fun at the end of the day so if you guys are cool with it I'm happy to let Max have his picks. The 24 hour rule was just to try and keep the draft from stalling for longer periods of time.
