You've mention "keeping in a round" before and I don't understand it. Splain?

fucking lost by 3, would have been worse if Miami's QB Henne hadn't played like a boss, projected for like 10 pts, came up with 38.

Scooped up Ben Tate as a flex filler this week in the hopes that Arian Foster is still sidelined for week 2. Had to scoop up a random kicker since Kaeding has AIDS in his knee now and is out for the season...think I ended up with Akers.

12 team league. only lacking in rb depth... just gotta be quick to pick up when someone gets injured.

"keeping in a round" = you keep people based on where you got them last year +1 round with a maximum of round 5.

picked arian in 5th last year = costs my 4th round pick this year.
got vick as free agent = costs my 5th this year.

dems the rules. Confusedhrug:

of course, they want to change them this year, but didn't decide on any specifics. that = no changes after week 1.

We drafted 14 rounds and filled 2 add'l rosters spots through waivers. This reads from the bottom up. I'm Moon Tang.

Cam's got a lot of potential and he's going to be a great QB, but the Panthers have a HARD schedule this year.

I don't see you starting him a whole lot, but it's worth a week 1 waiver gamble.

I agree. Rodgers is my starter, so this was a pick up to replace my back up.





...who was McNabb.

First trade of the season pending...I'm stacked on WRs so I'm giving up Maclin for Felix Jones. Both are a flex spot filler, so I feel pretty good about it.

I'm having a "good" problem. Stafford backing up Brees and Cam backing up Rodgers. I know the moment I start either of them, they'll come back down to Earth.

In what seems to a ridiculous points year, at least the first 2 weeks, my teams are woefully marginal. I'll probably come away with 2 wins this week for 3-1 overall, but I'm not confident in either team.

Just had our fantasy draft today! Going on our 5th year and we made it a keeper league this year to make things interesting.
Payout is the same as last year: $1k for first, $400 for second, $100 for third. We also have 4 optional side bets that everyone always ends up participating in. This year there are two season long side bets: Longest Streak and Best Record ($140 each). We also added two weekly side bets: Highest Point Total and Biggest Blowout ($10 each per week).

How my draft ended up with the 7th pick again this year (10 team):
Brees
Chris Johnson
Alfred Morris (keeper, picked up on waivers last year so accounted for my 8th rd pick)
Victor Cruz
Roddy White
Gronk
Jared Cook
Shane Vereen
Seahawks D (keeper, accounted for my 13th rd pick. Defenses are very heavily weighted in our league, highest scoring position next to QB)
Matt Bryant
Big Ben
Fred Jackson
Chris Givens
Kenbrell Thompkins
Chiefs D

I feel pretty good about my team, especially some of the late rounders I picked up (Givens, Thompkins). I think they both have a ton of potential this year.
