I know there are 2 fantasy threads on the front page, but this one is a bit different I think. So let's see them, post your teams from what ever leagues you are in.

I am in one 10 man league so far. Hybrid scoring system, I had the 5th pick. This is my team by round:
1st) Ray Rice
2nd) Matt Schaub
3rd) Reggie Wayne
4th) Brandon Marshall
5th) Beanie Wells
6th) Kevin Kolb
7th) Brent Celek
8th) Dwayne Bowe
9th) Mike Wallace
10th) Jerome Harrison
11th) Bengals D
12th) Eddie Royal
13th) Tony Scheffler
14th) Jay Feely

I got a little carried away on WRs and will probably drop one eventually for a defense.

12 team league, 6 points per TD pass, .5 PPR:

QB: Rodgers (round 1)
RB: Benson (round 2)
RB: Forte (round 4)
WR/RB: R. Brown (round 5)
WR: D. Jackson (round 3)
WR: Garcon (round 6)
TE: Cooley (round 8)
D: Patriots (round 15)
K: Gostkowski (round 13)

Bench: Knox (round 9), McCluster (round 11), B. Edwards (round 7), L. Washington (round 12), K. Smith (round 10), Choice (round 14), Sanchez (round 16)

Not a huge fan of my #2 WR or RB, but with 6 points per TD pass, am banking on Rodgers being the top rated player in the league by a healthy margin. Would be nice if Forte got back to something in between his 2008 and 2009 numbers.

Just finished my auction league draft and ended up with:

QB: Cassell
RB: Benson
RB: Matthews
WR: Andre Johnson
WR: Fitz
WR: Hines Ward
TE: Antonio Gates
K: I forgot who I ended up with.
DEF: Saints

I have a trade pending that will send Robert Meachem to a team for Carson Palmer. So Cassell will soon be replaced. Not the best team ever, but competitive for the situation I was in pre-draft.

10 Team Keeper League. Keep 4 (*s). Start QB, RB, 2WR, RB/WR/TE Flex, K, D/ST.

QB: Joe Flacco
RB: Rashard Mendenhall*
RB/WR/TE: Ryan Grant*
WR: Calvin Johnson*
WR: Miles Austin
TE: Jason Witten
K: Nate Kaeding
D/ST: NY Jets

Bench:
QB: Kevin Kolb, Matt Ryan
RB: Pierre Thomas*, CJ Spiller, Joseph Addai
WR: Roddy White
TE: Brent Celek

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16 Team Re-Draft League. Start QB, 2RB, 2WR, TE, K, D/ST.

QB: Eli Manning
RB: Jahvid Best
RB: Johnathon Stewart
WR: Randy Moss
WR: Miles Austin
TE: Tony Gonzalez
K: Adam Viniteri
D/ST: Indianapolis Colts

Bench:
QB: Alex Smith
RB: Fred Jackson, Chester Taylor, Javon Ringer
WR: Jabar Gaffney, Jacoby Jones



Pretty happy with both of these teams. I have my 3rd and final draft a week from tomorrow. I love this time of year.

I'm in my 3rd year of a Dynasty league, we just did our auction yesterday. Standard PPR scoring, with 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 2 FLEX (wr/rb/te), 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF. If this isn't the best legitimate team listed here I'll streak the Bradley Center during the Heat game this year. Starters in BOLD.

Also, the number next to each player is how long I have them locked up for:

QB: Aaron Rodgers (3)
Kevin Kolb (6)

RB: Shonne Greene (4)
Jahvid Best (5)
CJ Spiller (5)
Fred Jackson (1)
Jerome Harrison (1)
Leon Washington (1)

WR: Randy Moss (2)
Roddy White (2)
Desean Jackson (2)
Brandon Marshall (1)
Sidney Rice (6)
Johnny Knox (4)
Laurent Robinson (1)

TE: Kellen Winslow (1)

K: David Akers (1)

DEF: PIT (1)

And I have more money to bid on players on the waiver process, so I'll be able to snag anyone who busts out without a problem.

My only issue is of Greene/Best/Spiller, who do I start each week? I'm thinking I'll probably play the matchups - so week 1, with Greene vs. BAL, Best (CHI) / Spiller (MIA) look pretty good, ect.

In a 12 man PPR League..

QB
Aaron Rodgers
Jay Cutler

HB
Joseph Addai
Knowshon Moreno
Donald Brown
Arian Foster
Toby Gerhart

WR
Calvin Johnson
Anquan Boldin
Braylon Edwards
Steve Breaston

TE
Jermichael Finley
John Carlson

K
Stephen Gostkowski

DEF
PIttsburgh

I'm the defending champ in this league as well as runner up the year before. I love my team this year more than I've loved any other teams, although I still have some tweaking to do (getting rid of Toby Gerhart, possibly look for a 5th WR)

That's a pretty good squad, RJay. I like the Rodgers to Finley connection on the same team.

12 team ppr league....had 4th pick

QB - Kevin Kolb (9), Matt Cassel (13)
RB - Adrian Peterson (1), Ryan Matthews (2), Knowshon Moreno (3), Laurence Maroney (8)
WR - Anquan Boldin (4), TJ Houshmandzadeh (6), Braylan Edwards (7), Demaryis Thomas (10), Dexter McCluster (16)
TE - Jason Witten (5), Heath Miller (12)
K - Ryan Longwell
DEF - San Francisco (11), Chicago (14)


how's my team look?

10 man standard PPR scoring keeper league I had 5th pick this year:

keepers from last year and round selected (I got to keep that player as that rounds pick and can keep for up to 3 seasons so i have 2 seasons left with them):

Wes Welker (3rd round)
Ray Rice (5th round)
Matt Shaub (10th round)

QB: Matt Shaub, Matt Ryan
RB: Ray Rice, Darren McFaddon,Steve Slaton
RB: LeShaun McCoy, Matt Forte
Flex: Steve Smith (Panthers)
WR: Wes Welker,Santonio Holmes
WR: Reggie Wayne, Golden Tate, Sidney Rice (got in 9th round potential keeper next year)
TE: Brent Celeck, Heath Miller
K: Jay Feely
DEF: Cincinnati Bengals

Let me know what you think... I think next season my keepers will be Rice (Obvious lol) Welker and Sidney Rice.

This team is pretty awesome.

I have a feeling you are going to be starting McCluster eventually. In a PPR league I think that guy is going to be an absolute beast this year.

Rice in the 5th and Schaub in the 10th are such steals. I'd probably keep them over Welker in the 3rd honestly for next year that is. Not sure what round you got Sidney Rice in but I think similar talent to Welker can be had in the third round, maybe even better but you aren't going to find something comparable to Schaub in the 10th round more than likely.

We get to keep 1 player in rounds 1-3, 1 player in round 4-8 and 1 player in rounds 9-17. I took Rice in the 9th round this year so I am thinking about maybe keeping him as my third keeper next year and Grabbing a better QB like Rodgers in the higher rounds as people dont usually keep their QB's...

I'll admit I kind of reached for both of them (Rodgers 5th overall, Finley 4th round) But I feel it's going to be worth it.

I think Finley in the 4th is okay, so long as you didn't take him over Gates or Clark.

I know a lot of people like Finley as the number 1 TE. I have no argument that he could be the number 1 TE, because he certainly could. At this point though, Clark and Gates are still the heavy favorites to be 1/2 at the TE spot.

I would rank it:

1. Clark
2. Gates (Could see him having an absolutely insane season with no great WR threats on their team)
3. Davis (Just because of how great he was last year and how much Alex Smith looks for him)
4. Finley

But I could see taking those guys in any order and justifying it.

If you are going to reach for a QB, might as well reach for Rodgers. He has the biggest upside and points potential of any fantasy QB that there is.

I'll admit I kind of reached for both of them (Rodgers 5th overall, Finley 4th round) But I feel it's going to be worth it.

Are you in a 4 or 6 point per passing TD league? If it is 6, it isn't a reach at all (in a 6 point per TD system, he was 387 points scored last year, #1 overall by 39 points). In a 6 point per TD league he'll be over 400 points this year. If it is 4, then yeah, probably a tad but nothing you can't overcome.

It's a 6 point league. Not sure if I mentioned it before but it's also PPR and I believe Jermichael will lead the team in receptions this season.

If it is a 6 point league, Rodgers at 5 really isn't a reach. I took him at 7 in my league. I believe he will lead all of fantasy in points (possibly by 50+ points), plus, the drop from the RB's after the top 4-5 to the guys you can get middle of round 2 isn't that much. At least in my league, by my second pick (18), the stud QB's were gone.

Since there is decent depth at both the QB and TE position, I don't like the idea of taking both a QB and a TE early. It should really weaken your RBs and WRs. RJay seems like he did fine at RB. I am a believer in Foster and Addai is solid in PPR. Moreno should be a good also if he can stay healthy. I really don't like Edwards this year and don't have a good feeling on Breaston either. It looks like he has to play 3 wrs. That said this is a very solid team for drafting QB and TE early.

I like Breaston a lot as a receiver I just don't like who's throwing to him. Same with Edwards. I picked up Cutler purely as trade bait so hopefully I can dump him for a decent WR. I'm going with the wait and see approach with Edwards because I always felt he could be a stud in this league and I felt like taking a risk on him.

I'm not sure if I have ever drafted a QB or a TE in the top 4-5 rounds, so I agree with you.

I think I may have drafted Gates once when he fell to the late 5th, so I cannot say that and be positive though.
