My Fantasy Team

by skolvikes on Aug 21, 2009 9:05 PM CDT

I play in an 8 team league so our depth is pretty good all season, and I've won once and placed third last year and was just looking for some input into how you guys think i did with my draft. I picked 7th.

1st-Larry Fitzgerald-WR

2nd-Andre Johnson-WR

3rd-Steve Smith-WR

4th-Steven Jackson-RB

5th-Clinton Portis-RB

6th-Philip Rivers-QB

The Rest-Zach Miller-TE

Ray Rice-RB

Chargers D/ST

Percy Harvin-WR/RB/KR

Vincent Jackson-WR

Chris Wells-RB

HUH!!

Are you in a league with all 5th grade girls or what?? Getting the 5th overall projected guy at the 26th spot makes ZERO sense!! Even my wife thought this was ridiculous!!

I got Deangello Williams at 20 this year, which I thought was a steal

Why did you take so many WR’s to start? I would try to trade one for a decent RB, but then again your league could be set-up a certain way, I’m guessing PPR maybe? That would be my advice though.

Haha definitely

In the 2 leagues I’ve been in Williams has gone 6th and 7th.

wr

because the dropoff with wide recievers is far less after the first few, and i still ended up with quality runningbacks in the mid rounds. I’ve never had luck with drafting RB-RB because there’s never a second starter quality back that is must have come round two so i usually go RB-QB, but i decided to try something new and ended up with a stud team if everyone stays healthy.

RBs

They could be really good or they could struggle. Jackson is great healthy but he hasn’t been for the last 3 years, and Portis’ play really dropped due to Campbell’s poor play towards the end of the year. But your have to have the best WR core in the league. Those 3 could have 50-60 between just the 3 of them every so often. Rivers in the 6th is great too. He went 4th round in my two drafts. He is going to be solid, and the coaches have said their offense is going to be a more pass first one.
Overall: I would give you an A (maybe A- or B+ if those RBs struggle).

good draft even for 8 team league

rb is a little suspect. portis should be solid but i’m not sold on jackson. can the rams turn it around and be productive again? jackson is at his best later in the game. if the rams are losing a lot like last year, he isn’t as good of a fantasy rb. additionally, you don’t have much in the way of depth at rb.

rivers is decent at qb but hasselbacks is a bit on the low side for a backup in an 8 team league.

still good though. b+
