Not too bad, claimed a fair amount of Rbs and decent Wrs. Somehow I managed to do it after one or two refreshments!Quote:

Cant remember the projection but I'm supposedly weak in all major positions but for some reason they like my team...my QB is Andrew Luck with Joe Flacco on my bench, that's weak?Quote:

I'm sure he's being sarcastic :agree:

At the minute, Doug Baldwin is leading the charge of 'likely to be dropped' but as number 1 receiver from for the Seahawks, who'll likely have a better season this year than last as Graham will take away some of the coverage, I don't think I can...
Total headache!
I hear ya but with the Seahawks having Beast Mode, a scampering Wilson and the newly added Graham, do you think it's likely that they'll turn into a passing team that benefits Baldwin? Even if they do, Graham seems more likely to get the looks. I see some upside for Baldwin (I almost took him myself) but things would need to change in Seattle for him to blow through his ceiling.Quote:

I wonder if he's likely to get more targets as he's an excellent route-runner and Graham is going to attract the majority of the defensive coverage...Quote:

Guilty. My second pick.Quote:

The initial plan is to have a live draft this Sunday night (since it's the time most of us would be watching games later in the season).
Some of us will be playing for money (£10 entry) but fully appreciate that handing over money before the start of the season to some random on Hibs.net isn't the most appealing of offers (though I promise that I'd let folks know before the start of the season how many are playing for money and make sure the winner gets paid). If you just want to play for fun that's fine, all I'd ask is if you join remain active, one member last year had four decent quarterbacks and didn't reply to any trade emails (he was a paying entrant mind you!).
Thanks
Graeme
I'm sure the Panthers have been holding Stewart back in order to keep him in top condition for week 1. Looks like he'll be a three down back this year.Quote:

Trent Richardson (unsurprisingly) cut from the Raiders.
My friend is in Thailand so I just did his fantasy draft for him (nowhere near as fun doing a live one btw) - how easy the 10 team leagues have it compared to us!
Decided to pick up James Jones, let's see how this goes :thumbsup:
Just completed 2nd live draft, 3rd team this season. Trying to mix up my teams as much as i can.
Was an all eagles draft, the reaction to me picking Romo was hilarious.
Had online draft #1 last night and it took about 90 minutes - there was at least one person who was auto drafting but, for some reason, the clock ran for 2 minutes every single time, so that was annoying.Quote:
Originally Posted by lugz

Online draft #3 is tomorrow.
My one was 90 second picks and took about 90 mins for a 14 team league. Was some good chat going on while draft was happening. Doesn't beat the epic offline draft we do!
I would love to get involved with something like this but doing it and understanding it are two very different things.Does anybody have any recommended websites which give a guide to participating in it and understanding it a bit better?cheers
Try the sky sports one initially its very similar to the EPL fantasy footballQuote:

Perfect cheers guys
...and to think he was a first round pick and was going to be the new hall of fame back for the Browns when he got drafted. I had him in my fantasy team twice, never learnt my lesson the first time. Just shows the difference between making it at college and making it in the pros.Quote:

Wilson will go down as a steal like a certain Mr. T. Brady.
Sorry it was 2, 3 and 5. RG3, Richardson and Blackmon.
There are tons of websites out there. For one example: http://www.ffchamps.com/content/2555...coring-system/Quote:

It's actually not too late to get your feet wet. Find a site (ESPN, Yahoo, NFL, etc) and sign up for a league with a bunch of randoms. That's as good a way to figure things out. They're free.
who has Lewis from the patriots?!
You must have had points....because I had points...many points :greengrinQuote:

I don't know about that, the Panthers D have put you in a decent position, especially with the way the Broncos game is going, can't see Anderson or Demaryius Thomas scoring many points.Quote:

So my 1st round pick is out for 4-6 weeks and i have no run game. This could be a long season. Hopefully boldin can pick up over 12 points to get me at least one win.

Unless Mike Wallace has a crazy game tonight I think I am 1-0! :hyper
Torrey Smith and Darren Sproles need to have career games tonight (ha)
Insanely bad start of the Colts D from me this week (mea culpa). Just needed a bit more from Golden Tate this week and I'd have had a chance.
Just wait until Lev Bell is back though...
Out of interest anyone interested in dez for a RB? I know he's injured but will be hugely valuable when he's back.

Carlos Hyde balling out for me last night turned what should have been a really close one to quite comfortable! 1-0!
Top of the standings! :hyper

Rejected the trade as not a fan of either player. Cheers for the offer though.Quote:

My team is brutal. Not helped by my decision to drop Allen Robinson this week, 27.5 points and counting from him. His replacement has 1.8....
If I get the win it'll be a miracle. Running backs combine for 0.5 points total! Kicker is my highest scoring playerQuote:

2 and 0 I believe! And that is with Romo going down and Forsett being rubbish, Edelman and The Gronk pulled me over the line! :thumbsup:
Lost by one freakin point :grr:
that was me last year! Kept losing by like 1 point. Drove me mad.Quote:

Absolute disaster for my team last night. I thought I had it in the bag with my superstar RB Eddie Lacy and the Pack WR dude up still due up against the Seahawks, and the Revis Islanders just having a no mark Colts TE up in the Monday night game. the result? Both of them get ****ing injured, and combine for just 4 points!!! And Seattle didn't even win and drop to 0-2:rolleyes:
Dwayne Allen is a talented tight end. Luck is so good in the red zone and he's an incredible box out artist - surely a contender for TD leader after that guy in New England.Quote:

I'd be amazed if your boy doesnt get the 45 yards he needs.Quote:

First win of the season, picking up Moncrief may give me some hope this season. Holding his own against Marshall and Johnson.

my team is pony and there just isnt anyone decent on waivers :rolleyes:
I find myself about to have an injury crisis unless the reports today are kind!
A bare waiver wire: that is the beauty of the 16-team league.
Maybe next year we should see if we can get two 12-team leagues? Start off the recruitment campaign nice and early. Hell!, one of the leagues could be a live draft AFTER the preseason so nobody drafts a player on IR (which is not as much of a travesty in a 12-team league as it is a 16-team league).
With so many teams hurting in various positions, I wonder if any trades will be made....
I'd be interested in joining up,taking part for the 1st time this year in the Espn fantasy game and really enjoying itQuote:
