Who do you guys think will emerge a the best seahawk receiver fantasy wise? Mike Williams, Tate, branch, butler?

Why would you even need a tie breaker when the fractional points are going to the determine the real winner. Based on non-fractional points there you'll never know who the real winner is because when someone does less then another player then receive the same amount of points. How can that ever be an accurate assessment of things?

Fractional Points are good and wise. Never need a tie breaker. 69 > 61. They shouldn't be seen as equal.

start tim hightower or tomlinson??

mario manningham or devery henderson??

 

[kmanharris]

I have thrown a league together with a few buddies and were looking for a few more people. The draft will be tonight sometime after 9pm est. If you are interested just PM me your email address.

It is just for fun to kill some time obviously its free. It is going to be on ESPN.

For the future? Tate then Williams.

It depends on how many times Hasselbeck gets sacked per quarter.

start tim hightower or tomlinson??

mario manningham or devery henderson??

Hightower because he's playing against the Rams and LTs just vulturing yards against a game Ravens defense.

Toss-up for the recievers.

No DBs to protect downfield against Henderson but he's either getting a homerun TD or nothing.

EDIT: The Giants are playing a better secondary on paper.

I'm in 2 leagues that give .5 for receptions.

I don't mind it. Not my favorite format, but I like the change up. Makes you draft a little bit differently and gives credit to guys that get catches, after all, they record the stat for a reason, right?

And I love drafting team defenses. I probably over-analyze a bit but I'm usually really good at picking defenses based on stats (sacks, points allowed, turnovers forced, TDs, etc.) because I do more research than most of the other guys in my league. I sometimes carry 2-3 defenses in my league just to play matchups because I think it's fun. It's not the smartest roster strategy, but I think it's fun, and that's what it's all about for me.

And that's my problem with them. If you're in a 12 team league and everyone has 2 defenses, you have no hope of improving your defense all year. The only ones available are bottom 5 and nobody really trades for defenses.

We do 4 IDPs, 1 pt. per tackle and 2 for INT/FF/FR. 6 pts for a return TD. If you get 10 points out of a defensive guy, you consider it a good game.

Do I start Hakeem Nicks or Malcolm Floyd as my WR3...? Help would be appreciated and thanked.

Ive never, ever been in a league where every team carries 2 DEF.. its pretty much wasting roster spots for valuable position players. But what you're saying is an issue of any league with a deep roster.. the Free Agency ends up being scarce.. the fools in my work league are constantly bickering at me about that cause I like deep rosters and they're too bone-headed to keep up, lol.

I personally prefer IDPs but my league has voted on team D so we've changed to that over the years.. id love to switch back but majority rules.

Floyd's getting all the looks Vincent Jackson would have gotten this year but until the Chargers get their Left Tackle situation taken care of, all you need to worry about is if Rivers can get the ball off in time.

Nicks is sharing time with everyone all the way down to Preseason Sensation Cruz, who may get some consideration in multiple reciever sets.

I'd choose Floyd.

Is Ahmad Bradshaw going to start?

:yep:

 

[ultfrisbee]

CJ Spiller or Darren McFadden?

For the first few weeks, McFadden feels like the safe pick...

Not even close IMO.. definitely Spiller. I wouldnt trust McFadden for a heart beat.

 

[NAHSTE]

Just did my pay league draft. Not thrilled with the bench but it'll do. I got stuck in the middle with the 6th overall, ended up having to reach on a QB. 2-keeper league.

QB Aaron Rodgers
RB Stephen Jackson
RB Matt Forte
WR Greg Jennings
WR Chad Ochocinco
TE Jermichael Finley
W/R Jonathan Stewart
W/T Derrick Mason

BN LaDainian Tomlinson
BN Fred Jackson
BN Kenny Britt
BN John Carlson
BN Kyle Orton
BN Mohamed Massaquoi
BN Golden Tate

K Rob Bironas

D Charles Woodson
D David Harris
D Jonathan Vilma
D Paul Posluszny

 

[kmanharris]

I picked 11th in a 12 man league. I don't know how I feel about my team exactly

QB- Drew Brees
RB- Mendenhall
RB- Jerome Harrison
RB/WR- LeSean McCoy
WR- Colston
WR- Garcon
WR/TE- Mike Williams (Seattle)
TE- Tony Gonzalez
D/ST- Giants (went against all morals)
K-David Buehler
BE- Dez Bryant
BE- Darren McFadden
BE- Mike Williams (TB)
BE- Heath Miller
BE- Kyle Orton

I don't know if I should start McCoy week 1 against the Packers or start Dez against the Skins or Mike Williams against Cle in the RB/WR slot.

 

[Krebs]

CJ Spiller or Darren McFadden?

For the first few weeks, McFadden feels like the safe pick...

spiller is starting this weekend.




and my $.02.... fractional points are a must

 

[mobbdeep1122]

Favre or Cutler?

Shonn Greene or Arian Foster?

Right now Cutler and Foster are my starters because of the matchups.

 

[Apocalypse]

QB - Philip Rivers
RB - Darren Sproles
RB - Jamaal Charles
RB/WR - Chad Ochocinco
WR - Calvin Johnson
WR - Wes Welker
TE - Jason Witten
K - Garrett Hartley
DST - Baltimore

BE - Aaron Rodgers - QB
BE - Mark Sanchez - QB
BE - LaDanian Tomlinson - RB
BE - Willis McGahee - RB
BE - Jerricho Cotchery - WR
BE - Denver DST

I knew i was bound to screw something up with my draft, and behold, i did.
Rodgers and Rivers have the same bye, and i picked Sanchez up, and no one wants to trade for Rivers..

Any suggestions on subbing RB or WRs?

 

[Maize]

Favre or Cutler?

Shonn Greene or Arian Foster?

Right now Cutler and Foster are my starters because of the matchups.

I think Cutler will have a big game and might be the safer pick. Weird to say "Cutler" and "safe" in the same sentence.

Also, wish you could start both Greene and Foster. But I give the slight nod to Foster, who should see close to the same amount of carries.

Well, my other RB is Chris Johnson, so that spot is taken. Only 2 RBs in this league.
