Just finished a marathon draft...10 guys in it...19 picks per guy.

each week you dress 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 K, 2 Defenses, and either 1 WR or 1 RB

Scoring is fairly basic, but PK get added points as FG's get over 40 YDS.

QB's...Derek Anderson, Brett favre, Donovan McNabb

RB...Adrian Peterson, Laurence Maroney, Deuce McCallister, Chris Johnson (R)

WR... Wes Welker, Calvin Johnson, Bernard Berian, Jericho Cotchery

TE...Jeremy Shockey, Donald Lee

PK... Mike Nugent, Josh Brown, Matt Stover

D... Green Bay, Buffalo, Tampa bay

I am in 3 leagues....each one is at least a $100 entry....One we have been doing for 17 years

...but all 3 are start 2QB leagues. Does anyone else play 2QB? IMO, it is much more challenging, and much more fun than the mundane 1QB leagues.

Its very interesting, a lot of people out there are taking Adrian Peterson 1st overall. AP definitely has the bigger upside but Tomlinson is about as safe as it gets.

Just finished my draft...10 guys in it...I drafted 9th

each week you dress 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1D, and 5 Bench
Scoring is fairly basic

QB's...Brett favre, Jason Campbell

RB...Marshawn Lynch, Brandon jacobs, Selvin Young, Chester Taylor, Deangelo Williams
WR... Reggie Wayne, Marques Colston, Calvin Johnson, Joey Galloway, Derrick Mason

TE...Kellen Winslow

PK...Josh Brown
D... Jacksonville

Probably a little light in the QB department, but i think my depth in WR and RB can score me an upgrade

Let me know what you think

Bobblehead · 08-19-2008, 08:34 AM

My draft goes tonight.

14 guys, 25 picks. 10 Offense, 10 defense each week. The draft will be a grind.

We're talking making this league into a keeper - are people using Yahoo and manually doing some of your rules, or what site do you use to run it?

Bobblehead · 08-21-2008, 11:38 AM

Had the draft. What a marathon. I picked first overall (which, me being the commish, raised a few eyebrows), but with a 14 team league it is an awful long wait from the first pick to the 28th.

We've used this one for years now.

Its a bit expensive but man it is so easy to use and they do all the work.

Hmmm I draft 3rd out of 8.
I don't like that position at all. After the top 2, I feel like it's a crapshoot from 3-7.

Starting QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, WR/RB, K, TE, DEF
6 points TD(all), 1 point for 25 passing yds, 15 receiving yds, 10 rushing yds

Addai
Maurice Jones Drew
Parker, W
Romo
Boldin
Holmes, S
Jones, T
McNabb
Cotchery
Dallas D
Scheffler
Jones, F
Burlseson
Seattle D
Bironas

What do ya think?

burn_baby_burn · 08-30-2008, 09:01 AM

I drafted second.

Starting QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, K, DB, DB, DL, DL, DL.

Carson Palmer, Philip Rivers.
Frank Gore, Willis McGahee, Chester Taylor.
Jerricho Cotchery, Devin Hester, Ted Ginn Jr, Dewayne Bowe, Vincent Jackson.
Tony Gonzales.
Nate Kaeding.
Ellis Hobbs, Quentin Jammer, Nate Clements.
Michael Boley, Karlos Dansby, Keith Brooking, Shawun Phillips, Nick Harper.

FLAMESRULE · 08-30-2008, 04:37 PM

I finished 3rd last year. So have 3rd last in a 16 team keeper league. Can keep up to 5 players which is capped at the # of starters per position (1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE/K/DEF). With every protected player you lose a draft pick

Keepers:
Brady, Peterson, Barber, Moss, Cooley

Drafted Players:
Marvin Harrison, Chester Taylor, Bobby Engram - Terrible pick, James Hardy, Ray Rice, John Carlson, Trent Edwards, Adam Vinateri, Bills D

Starting Lineup:
Brady, Peterson, Barber, Moss, Harrison, Cooley, Vinateri, Bills

I am super stoked about the team...only bad pick was Engram...

mrdeeds · 08-31-2008, 06:43 PM

I've been in a keeper for about 9 years now, have never won but came in 2nd 2 season running. It seems that my best games were in the semi-finals, and just came up short in the Championship Games.

We used FFLM, but switched to MFL this year. It's great! Check out my roster. I am the Calgary Boomers.

Our commish for my league at work thought it would be fun to have 30 seconds between picks for our draft Thursday night. Thankfully my indecision led to autopicks of Joey Galloway and Vince Young. I can live with those. Some of my opponents weren't so lucky!

I'm not going to post my team...it's virtually identical to my CP team!

Pagal4321 · 09-01-2008, 06:10 PM

Well I had an team in my most competitive league AUTO-DRAFT for me, since I was out of town over the weekend. And for some reason it doesn't look ALL that bad, can anyone confirm my feeling??

QB - D. Anderson, E. Manning
RB - Frank Gore, Maurice Jones Drew, LenDale White
WR - Randy Moss, Chad Johnson, Roddy White, Kevin Curtis(who is being dropped for Meachem) and DJ Hackett (who is being dropped)
TE - Tony Gonzalez and Vernon Davis (being dropped for Heath Miller)
K - Nick Folk, Nate KAeding (being dropped for Felix Jones)
D - NYG

You could use a better QB. Anderson was horrendous in the preseason. He could be coming back to reality. I'm not sure Eli has the weapons to be a great fantasy QB. Other than that, given your pending roster moves, you'd have to be pretty pleased with that as an auto-draft!

Ro · 09-01-2008, 11:10 PM

What does everyone think of Marc Bulger as a viable starter at QB? Philip Rivers?

I'm pretty strong at RB (Peterson, Graham, Young, Williams) and awesome at WR (Owens, Edwards, Boldin), but those two guys are my QBs. Am I gonna be OK?

Pagal4321 · 09-02-2008, 08:15 AM

I think I will ride Anderson out, if he stumbles, I might try and trade Tony Gonzalez for a QB (assuming my waiver pickup of Heath Miller works out).

I don't like Bulger, at all. Rivers is a good backup as well. The only guy available in my league in free agency is Kitna, who might not be bad with the recent Rudi Johnson pickup. But I just hate the Lions....

Not bad. I think Gore is going to be a monster this season. Look what Mike Martz offense did for Marshall Faulk and Priest Holmes, although the Rams and Chiefs had a lot better O-lines. I drafted him second in my league, we get 1 point for a reception, so an RB that catches a lot of balls is very valuable.

Anderson could be a problem if he hasn't fully recovered from his concussion.

Bobblehead · 09-02-2008, 09:20 AM

OK, here's my team.

14 teams - 25 rounds

1. (1) LaDainian Tomlinson RB
2. (28) Ronnie Brown RB
3. (29) Marques Colston WR
4. (56) Kellen Winslow TE
5. (57) Calvin Johnson WR
6. (84) Rashard Mendenhall RB
7. (85) Felix Jones RB
8. (112) John DiGiorgio DL
9. (113) Lance Briggs DL
10. (140) Calvin Pace DL
11. (141) Richard Marshall DB
12. (168) Michael Lewis DB
13. (169) Roy Williams DB
14. (196) LaRon Landry DB
15. (197) Darrelle Revis DB
16. (224) D'Qwell Jackson DL
17. (225) Takeo Spikes DL
18. (252) T.J. Duckett RB
19. (253) Marc Bulger QB
20. (280) Justin Gage WR
21. (281) Ronald Curry WR
22. (308) Tarvaris Jackson QB
23. (309) DeShaun Foster RB
24. (336) Mason Crosby K
25. (337) Chris Perry RB

That Chris Perry pick at 337 may turn out to be a good one. Ronnie Brown may be bad.

And the Roster positions:
QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/T, W/R, W/R, K, D, D, DB, DB, DB, DB, DL, DL, DL, DL, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN

^you really waited to get a QB.

The fact that 2 RB are required, plus 2 positions where a RB can start meant that I wanted to get as many RBs as I could. Plus, any QBs worth picking early were gone by the time my 2nd round pick came, and by the time the 4th round came back, I figured it was a crap shoot anyways.
