Fantasy Index Expert Auction draft 2010-my team

My second FF draft of the 2010 season.

Here is my team from the auction draft a few weeks ago for the Fantasy Football Index Experts League. You can read about the rest of the league and my rankings and comments in the upcoming issue due out 1 July.

The league is essentially a draftmasters (draftexperts) league in that it it draft and forget. No trades, add/drops or start/bench decisions. What you draft is what you got all season and the computer picks your best possible starting lineup each week after the scores are tabulated.

It is a 22 man roster and starts 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K and 1 DEF in a NON PPR performance league.

I go with 3 QBs and TEs to maximize my points in those categories since I went weak there. I would do the same at K and DEF (draft 3 per position) if this were a 25 man roster league, but alas it is limited to 22 players.


QB
Carson Palmer, Cin QB $9
Alex Smith, SF QB $7 (My sleeper QB-could be Top 15)
Jake Delhomme, Cle QB $1 (May be in a QBBC in Cle-which would suck for me)

RB
Ryan Grant, GB RB $37
DeAngelo Williams, Car RB $30
Jahvid Best, Det RB $16 (Kevin Smith will not be 100% this year, the rookie gets the start from day 1)
Michael Bush, Oak RB $7 (Could easily be the starter for OAK week 1 and definitely will get his touches)
Leon Washington, Sea RB $6 (Looks great now that LenDale White has been released by Seattle)
Brandon Jackson, GB RB $1 (handcuff for Ryan Grant)

WR
Reggie Wayne, Ind WR $31
Chad Ochocinco, Cin WR $17
Santana Moss, Was WR $11 (With a better QB throwing to him (McNabb) the sky is the limit)
Steve Breaston, Ari WR $7 (#2 WR in AZ now)
Anthony Gonzalez, Ind WR $1 (Great sleeper)
Arrelious Benn, TB WR $1 (TB needs a WR..so took a flyer on the rookie)

TE
Owen Daniels, Hou TE $7
Chris Cooley, Was TE $6
Marcedes Lewis, Jac TE $1

K
David Akers, Phi K $1
Jason Hanson, Det K $1

DEF
Redskins D/ST, Was D/ST $1
Falcons D/ST, Atl D/ST $1



I really like Alex Smith ($7), Javhid Best ($16), Michael Bush ($7), Leon Washington ($6) and Anthony Gonzalez ($1). The tandem of Owen Daniels and Chris Cooley could be huge too. Especially when I do not have to decide who to start, the computer does it for me!!!

Just goes to show that some money at the end of the draft always buys bargains.

One regret, wish I had gotten another WR $1 instead of the handcuff for Ryan Grant. Oh well.

Great online show about Fantasy Football called "Fantasy over Reality"

Wow. Just got around to watching this online video series (guess that's what we call these things?) and loved episodes 1 and 2.

For those who do not know, Fantasy over Reality is a show/video series about a Fantasy Football league. Episode one deals with finding out who is in and who is out for FF for the coming year. Episode two deals with the draft.

The actors, actresses, acting and cinematography look good and there are some big name NFL stars (MJD, Mike Sims Walker) who will appear in upcoming episodes.

Each episode is about 10 minutes long so it will not take you too long to watch.

Each episdode can be seem here
www.fantasyoverreality.com/

but I would recommend the site below (since the first one seems to take a while to load)

see it here at the World Championship of Fantasy Football (WCOFF) website.
http://www.wcofs.com/site/wcoff/fantasyoverreality

Overall: Really smart stuff, not too over the top, humorous and cute and it reminded me of some of my leagues ...oh and it also has some eye candy.

The first FF draft of 2010.

This is from my first 2010 draft.





It is an Experts draft for an upcoming magazine.





The format is 12-team, active free agency, no PPR, 16 man roster that starts:


1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K and 1 DEF (not special teams though).





Scoring is 3 pts Pa TD, 6 other TDs, 1 pt per 20 passing yds, 1 pt per 10 rushing or receiving yards, FGs are 3 pts, Defenses get 2 pts per sack and safety, 1 pt per turnover and 6 pts for DEF TDs.





I had the 2nd pick overall





Final Roster
Pos Name Bye Team Pick
QB Peyton Manning 7 IND R3 P2
QB Alex Smith 9 SF R14 P11
RB Adrian Peterson 4 MIN R1 P2
RB Brandon Jacobs 8 NYG R5 P2
RB Ahmad Bradshaw 8 NYG R6 P11
RB Reggie Bush 10 NO R8 P11
RB Leon Washington 5 SEA R11 P2
RB Toby Gerhart 4 MIN R12 P11
WR Roddy White 8 ATL R2 P11
WR Michael Crabtree 9 SF R4 P11
WR Steve Breaston 6 ARI R7 P2
WR Donnie Avery 9 STL R9 P2
WR Nate Burleson 7 DET R13 P2
TE Chris Cooley 9 WAS R10 P11
K Stephen Gostkowski 5 NE R15 P2
DEF Cincinnati Bengals 6 CIN R16 P11



Thoughts:


1) Chris Johnson is the definite #1 and MJD or AP are tied for 2nd.





2) I took Peyton Manning too early. I like to grab a great QB in these expert leagues because they are not the highest thing on my To-DO list in mid season when I am managing family, work and a dozen money fantasy football leagues. This way I can plug in Manning and forget about start/bench decisions. You can wait on QB!





3) Speaking of waiting. There is so much depth at TE this year. Wait, wait, wait! Any of the top 13 TEs are workable. I love Chris Cooley with McNabb throwing to him in the 10th round with the 119th overall pick. Zach Miller went one before Cooley.





4) Go with youth at WR2 and WR3. There are some good 3rd year candidates out there. Donnie Avery, Devin Thomas and Davone Bess to name a few. Steve Breaston has a little more experience and moves into the #2 WR spot with the departure of Anquan Boldin. Leinarts QB play is the only question mark for Breaston.





5) If you get Adrian Peterson (with the 1st, 2nd or 3rd pick of the draft) you absolutely must handcuff him to Toby Gerhart. That is cheap insurance, based on AP's injury history, with the next to last pick in round 12.

6) The more I think about Leon Washington running for Pete Carroll in SEA the quicker I draft him. I reached for him here and I think that means I need to rank him higher.

Fantasy Football Tips # 211: Watch carefully who the top team drops

Fantasy Football Tip #211: Watch carefully who the top team drops. Many times you may be trying to catch a team loaded with talent who is leading the league. If they drop a player to add another, often they are forced to drop an otherwise good player simply because they have too much talent at a certain position. When this happens, their trash can be your treasure. Often the player the top team cannot afford to carry any longer will be an upgrade for your team. There are times when a QB or TE or even a good WR will be dropped to make room for a handcuff or a bye week replacement on the top team. So watch who is dropped carefully and evaluate whether their discarded player can actually improve your team and allow you to have a better team for your playoff matches later in the season. The chances are greater that a great team drops a player you can use. Rarely does a bad team drop a player that you can use.

Fantasy Football Tips has 201 tips like this all for $10.95 and available from Amazon, BN and other retailers.

Over 500 copies of Fantasy Football Tips sold in the first 6 months of its release.

So get your copy before the fantasy football season starts in earnest.

Fantasy Football Tips is the perfect gift for the husband/father/son in your life who is interested in football. Give them a gift they will love!

Galloway and Bobby Wade signed by WAS; Favre needs surgery if he wants to return in 2010

FREE AGENT INFORMATION FOR 2010

A few things about this list:
-Those added since last update are in BOLD
-Signed players are at the top of the positions, unsigned players are at the bottom
-If a player re-signs with his same team I am not going to report it. Only trades, releases and new signings....plus some rumor mongering.
