Grade my team

[ChiefGator]

I think we have had a thread for this in the past.. so feel free to post your own team below.

I just drafted last night in my 14-team, 1/2 ppr league. Return yards count for the individual and the flex position also can be a QB. Our league used to have six points for passing td's, but returned it to four points a couple years ago. Despite that, QBs go off the board way to soon. In fact, eleven were taken in the first round and five in the second round.

My strategy was to wait on QB and load up on other positions, as I picked seventh.

Team is below. The number in parenthesis is my ranking of these players within their positional groups (didn't combine them into one board), just for general interest.

1 - Jamaal Charles - KC RB (1)
2 - Antonio Brown - Pit WR (1)
3 - Teddy Bridgewater - Min QB (18)
4 - C.J. Spiller - NO RB (8) - due to return yards
5 - Latavius Murray - Oak RB (14)
6 - DaVante Adams - GB WR (10)
7 - Blake Bortles - Jax QB (23)
8 - Darren Sproles - Phi RB (25) - I think he will get return yards in the regular season
9 - Percy Harvin - Buf WR (17) - due to return yards
10 - Denard Robinson - Jax RB (40)
11 - Leonard Hankerson - Atl WR (42)
12 - Brian Quick - StL WR (44)
13 - Charles Clay - Buf TE (10)
14 - Chiefs D (14)
15 - Brandon McManus - Den K (2)

I think I regret the Percy Harvin pick already. Beckham was taken two picks before I took Bridgewater, and I think I paniced on QB a bit, although I do like Teddy.

If I had know Bortles would drop into the 7th, I think I would have taken another top-tier WR, but most were scooped up, and I wasn't feeling Demaryius Thomas.

Bradford will generally be a tempting option so long as he doesn't shit the bed or get hurt. That system and their schedule just makes everything look so favorable.

That said, he looked like shit to me on Monday night. He was harassed a bit but missed several throws with no pressure throughout the game.

Yeah, I agree. My logic was I didn't want to draft Bradford due to injury. But, while he is healthy, I would probably try to ride him. They are going to have to throw alot.. I have no faith in Murray and Matthews isn't much better.

I decided to start Bradford. The Cowboys really have no pass rush and they're missing their top CB. Philly is at home and will likely run a shit ton of snaps. Even if they pound Murray, like I expect them to, Bradford will still have plenty of opportunities to light it up.

I'm feeling pretty confident in my decision-making thus far. I hit FA yesterday in search of a defense and was surprised to find the Broncos. I dropped Delanie Walker to pick them up and started them over the Chiefs DEF. They netted me 22 points.

At least I can scrounge up an ounce of happiness in that monumental choke job last night.

Yeah, I had McManus. And Charles still got me 18 points.

Charles has been hella solid thus far in fantasy

I'm in a league that drafts defensive players. I decided to pick Peters up in FA before week one. He scored me 14 pts in week one and 22 in week two. So far, good pick up.

Guy I'm playing today has Tom Brady, Dion Lewis, Rob Gronkowski, and Stephen Gostkowski.

He deserves to lose every game.

I royally f'd myself for taking Dez instead of Gronk.

This is looking like the best matchup our defense has had against Denver since Manning came to town, but I've been burned one too many times.

The homer in me says start the Chiefs but the battered fan in me says hit the waiver wire.

Looks like you could have started the Chiefs.. got 12 points in my league.

They got dropped today, and I picked them back up.. Had picked up Pittsburgh.

I am completely on the Chiefs DST bandwagon now... I know I might get a lower score this week, but then Sean Smith comes back and I feel like they could be a top 5 defense with Peters added and getting more turnovers. The sacks are definitely going to be there for this team.

I did have a trade for Arizona on the books, but I'm not convinced Arizona finished better (or much better) than the Chiefs DST.

Yeah, I ended up starting Denver and got 22 points out of them in a losing effort (my opponent basically had every offensive starter for the Pats).

I'll roll with them until we get Sean Smith back then I'll probably rotate based on the matchup.
