That's JWise, and he was late so the league assigned him his first two players based on ranking and then he was in and out the entire time so I don't know if he missed many more picks or not. Those first four picks are solid though, particularly if Luck returns back to forum. I had McCoy like two years ago and I hated his inconsistency, and that was in a high powered offense, but Chip Kelly didn't seem to want to run much even though they ran so many plays a game.

Kelly ran quite a bit when he had better personnel for it and was getting leads. I think he just adjusts to the game and personnel.

I'd love to poach Gordon from you.

And whoever has Derek Carr...darn you lol. I wanted him bad.

Which team is yours?

He must be Team Joseph. I think Arda is the Turks. Those are the only ones I think I am not 100% sure.

[Cactus Jack]

How would those in the league, feel about getting rid of the waiver period? I brought this up with Blue and BW & we thought we should get a consensus from the other members? So, Yay or Nay?

I personally like the waiver period as it gives everyone a chance to find a replacement player week to week

Those are all my picks after the first 2 and before Starks Barron and clay. Had my money draft start by then and figured a 1200 payout beats last picks I'll probably drop

[jwise44]

I still hate that I set my alarm wrong cause I would have gone rb first and now my rbs suck unless Henry steals the starting position and shady returns to form (I picked him cause I believe he can)...like my team, but such a dumb mistake to set it for 445 am instead of pm....note to future self, don't workout too hard where you pass out after on draft day

[jwise44]

But if y'all don't read the message board I'm willing to make any trades for an rb, but to get beckham or luck it has to blow me away with a replacement for them involved though not as good necessarily if other player is a beast

And to get Mack I have to have jj watt returning



And at least I woke up in time for money draft, I killed that one

How'd your money draft go? How many teams?

[jwise44]

12 all paying 100 and second place gets zip (though there's now a debate about it)

Cam (I know you advised against him first, but I have a man crush on him and am a huge auburn fan cause my sister went there and I always visited)
B cooks
K Allen
Rawls (I don't care what cactus says Rawls is the starter)
D. Murray
Kelce
M. Gordon
R. Jennings
E. Sanders
J. Matthews
T. Taylor
E. Ebron (didn't make that pick I signed out for yet another draft)
Gostowski
Texans d (homer pick)
New England d (didn't make this pick either)

Gonna make a trade for a running back


Second money league for 1000

Luck (I really have faith in him this year)
Gurley
D. Martin
A. Robinson
A. Jeffery
G. Olsen
L. Murray or l. McCoy
Panthers d
M. Crosby
D. Baldwin
M. Gordon
K. Benjamin
Duke Johnson
Tj yeldon
A. Hurns

Going to trade for a wide receiver (already have an offer for some good ones, just have to decide if I lose Murray or McCoy) and drop one of duke or tj for back up qb, but I expect both to have decent seasons

For years I ran a $100 12 team league with 6 playoff teams but to keep it competitive top to bottom until the end of the year, if you made the playoffs, you got your money back, and then first place took $400 and runner up $200.

I think your team, despite taking Cam first (I like him but I worry how bad that will impact the rest of my roster choices later down the line when drafting) I LOVE Keenan Allen (homer) and Melvin Gordon has had two 40 yard tds in the preseason, and working out with AP in the offseason I have high hopes for him (homer) but won't touch him yet for fantasy...it seems to kill SD RB's if I draft them.

I actually did a mock before our draft and took Jonathan Stewart in the third but regretted not taking Rawls because I just have that gut feeling about him. After that, I decided to ask the Seahawks fan I know who is extremely knowledgeable about all teams and records all 16 (or however many games there are) and watches them in detail, slowly throughout the week. He even somehow avoids spoilers. He basically said there is no way Rawls isn't the clear cut starter and Michael is way too inconsistent and not reliable.

Rawls averaged more YPC than Lynch and I think just about anyone last year, and oddly enough his YPC went up as the game progressed.

41. Last season, on Thomas Rawls' first 10 carries, he averaged 5.5 yards per carry.

41a. On carries 11-20, Rawls averaged 5.8 yards per carry.

41b. From carry 21 on, Thomas Rawls averaged 6.3 yards per carry.

42. In the five weeks that Marshawn Lynch did not play and Rawls both started and finished games, Rawls averaged 18.4 fantasy points per game in ESPN standard scoring.

Cooks is solid too.

Having said that, I like your second one even better. Not entirely sure about the WRs, but I think that's the easiest position to work with, and use the waiver wire if need be.

[jwise44]

Yeah, I know I need a wr, I'm hoping Benjamin steps up and is that guy cause Jeffery and Baldwin is a pretty decent set of backups and I'm so iffy on giving up Murray or shady for a receiver when I have faith in benjamin

[jwise44]

Just dropped New England d for bilal Powell (hoping forte doesn't keep that starting spot and Powell can get his tds) and Ebron for will fuller (teams gonna triple team d hop cause he's the best we in the game, wish we drafted the kid from tcu but fuller should get open plenty with his speed

i ll consider hyde for luck but i dont have a good replacement to give and you'd have to sweeten the pot.

not sure if i want to blow you though.

Wow...wouldn't entertain that ever, without two blowies AT LEAST

[ErnieDiGregorio]

I entered a couple. That bidding one is funky,especially with dumb bots
