For better or worse (Undoubtedly worse), my 2012 fantasy football team below. We each had a $150 imaginary salary cap.
QB Tom Brady - $36
QB Russell Wilson - $1
RB Reggie Bush - $12
RB Jamaal Charles - $22
RB DeAngelo Williams - $3
RB LaMichael James -$1
WR AJ Green - $22
WR Hakeem Nicks - $22
WR Randy Moss - $6
WR Antonio Brown - $9
WR Michael Floyd - $1
WR Kevin Walter - $1
TE Jermichael Finley - $13
PK Adam Vinatieri - $1
D/ST Seahawks - $1
The rest of the league.
I dropped WR Kevin Walter today and picked up TE Martellus Bennett. Wasn't terribly enamored with Walter even as a backup and decided I just needed a backup TE more. My team has the second highest projected total in my ESPN league today. Naturally, the guy I'm playing has the highest projected total.
Brady-Can't go wrong there.
Bush-If the rest of the offense shows up he could be a stud. Look at what he did at the end of last season.
Charles-I guess he's looked good this preseason. I'll take him for a #2 or #3.
Williams-Makes me cringe, but he scored at the end of last season.
James-As rookies go, I'm much more interested in Doug Martin at TB.
I like your receivers, though I hope you crossed yourself when you picked up he who shall not be named.
Finley will get some TDs and as far as I know Vinitieri is still a premier kicker. Why'd you pick the Seahawks for DST?
My draft is tomorrow night. I have the #3 pick and will probably take whomever is left from Foster, Rice, and Rodgers. McCoy is the wild card. It's just that every time I've picked an Eagles back in the first round I've had my heart broken.
"Naturally, the guy I'm playing has the highest projected total."
Naturally.
Decided to invest more in the QB and WRs over RBs this season. There are only three or four stud workhorse RBs and two of them (Charles and AP) are coming off major knee injuries. They go for a fortune in our league. Foster went for over $50.
Seahawks seemed to be the best of the D/STs that were left. D/ST in our league is a total crapshoot.
I think I'd take McCoy over Rodgers assuming Foster goes first and Rice second. If you have a shot at Foster or Rice, then it's a no-brainer. Curious where MJD will go in your draft. Still top five, you think?
FWIW, Doug Martin was no secret in our league. Went for almost as much as Trent Richardson. Way too much for rookie RBs.
Agreed that I'll take Foster or Rice if available. I don't think MJD will go #5, but still first round, 8 or 9. Rodgers no lower than #4, then Chris and Calvin and Brady in whatever order. Maybe Brees at #8.
FWIW, I paid big bucks last season for DeAngelo. Carolina had just given him a ginormnous contract. I figured they did so for a reason. Yeah, I missed big time on that one. He's a home run hitter but not as often as I need him to be. I think I'll use him this year only when they play the Saints.
I took McCoy.
It went Foster, Rice, McCoy, Calvin Johnson, Chris Johnson, Rodgers, MJD, Brady, Brees, Forte. I'll post my lineup shortly.
I think that was the right choice although you still did very well with RBs in later rounds.
