Official "it's not too early to start talking about Fantasy Football"

[Aces McGee]

I'll throw all four of my teams in here, in case anyone is interested in them (doubtful, but it's already a huge thread).

Team 1 (14-team keeper, QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE, K, DEF; 10/10/25; 6 pts for all TDs). Bc of the keeper format, this team is pretty sick.

QB: Kitna, Frye
RB: Gore, Addai, T. Jones, J. Lewis, T. Bell
WR: Holt, Colston, Walker, A. Johnson, Curtis, Henderson
TE: Scheffler
K: Kaeding
D/ST: Rotating, KC right now.

Team 2 (14 team redraft, I had pick 12. QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE, K, D/ST; 25/10/10, 4 pt pass TD).

QB: Romo, Schaub
RB: R. Brown, T. Jones, J. Lewis, M. Bell, Morency
WR: Driver, Chambers, Furrey, Curry
TE: Crumpler
K: Kasay
D/ST: rotating, Detroit in week 1.

Team 3 (10 team keeper auction league. QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE, K, D/ST; 30/10/10, all TDs worth 6 pts).

QB: Kitna, Campbell
WR: Owens, Driver, Horn, C. Johnson, Henderson, Hackett, Gonzalez
RB: Gore, R. Brown, Benson, F. Taylor, T. Bell, C. Brown, Morency, Rhodes (we have deep rosters in this league)
TE: Watson, McMichael
K: Josh Brown
D/ST: rotating, Atlanta in Week 1

Team 4 [10-team league where we keep 2 players who cost us the draft pick we took them in the year before. I had Owens as a third rounder and Gore as a fourth -- you can only keep 1 player per position. QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 WR/RB flex, TE, K, D/ST; 25/10/10/25 (return yards, which I hate), pass TDs are 4 pts.]

QB: Kitna
RB: Gore, Rudi, Cadillac, T. Bell, C. Brown, Morency, Rhodes
WR: Owens, Walker, Jennings
TE: Crumpler
K: Stover
D/ST: Rotating, Falcons in Week 1.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Someone explain to me the meaning of a keeper league.

Rather than drafting a whole new team every year, you keep some players from the year before. Formats vary widely.

The NFL, were it a fantasy league, would be a "keeper" league.

I think you should list who you kept each year.

Team 1. You are beastly at RB/WR which is nice, and with those guys, having Kitna as your QB seems solid. I like the idea of a rotating D and started using it at the end of last year.

Team 2. Dunno what a redraft is, but I'm not a huge fan of this team. Your pick position kinda sucks, but I'm not sure I would have grabbed Brown there (assuming you did.) Plus you have Chambers, which makes 2 Dolphins you have on your team. You're not really solid at any position.

Teams 3 and 4 look pretty average, though I like Team 3 better because you have some nice depth at WR. I might try to make a move using any of those guys as bait.


Edit: Put your Team 1 up against your Team 2. Only one duplicating player. Team 1 slaughters Team 2.

BTW, I don't know what round you're getting Crumpler in, but he's been going far too early in my drafts in my opinion. I think you might be overvaluing him

Other than Week 6 I don't know how much I will play him, and I could have snagged Javon Walker there and crippked a few teams WR wise

LOL @ thinking Ronnie Brown in the 10th ROUND in a flex league is a bad pick? WTF WTF WTF WTF?

Seriously, your RB depth is ridiculous, and you have 3 top 15 WR's as well, 2 top 10. Your QB situation is fine considering how much value you got, and I like Eli more than Leinart.

WTF is this league?

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry, I was drunk then. I didn't mean Ronnie Brown was a mistake, he's ridiculous value in the 10th. Pretty much every pick after Gore was ridiculous value where I took him. It just would have been nice to snag up Javon Walker where I took Brown and then Brown in the next round. I don't know what's wrong with these people, but if I don't win this league then FF is rigged.

Because of the formats of my two big keeper leagues (contract caps, salary caps, etc) this would not be terribly informative. Neither league has a draft -- it's all auction free agency.

Team 2 is not good. This is the only redraft league (non-keeper) that I do, and I really struggled this year wrapping my head around all the RB platoons. I had a top 11 that I was comfortable with but drew the 12th pick minutes before the draft, and things just sort of went haywire. I need some RBs to bounce back or emerge so I can make some trades. It's not a lost cause, but I need things to bounce my way for sure.

Team 3 is in a ten team league with huge rosters, so everyone has depth everywhere. Have to say that I disagree that team 4 is average, though.

Thanks for your comments.

Seriously, we should compile a "worst of FF 2007" list and vote on it.

[Spellmen]

I posted the draft of a guy who picked #1 in my league a several posts ago. I think it has to be the worst team ever assembled by a #1 pick who was actually trying

Seriously, WTF? I just drafted in a league where 25 of the first 38 picks were RBs. Your league sounds more fun.
