Johnny_Fontane

funny that as GM I got no.1 pick :P

of course its randomized. No excuse missing the draft, you would have got an email on it on Monday, you voted on it, it was posted here.....

Johnny_Fontane

So how did we all draft?

QB: Russell Wilson, Terrelle Pryor
RB: Adrian Peterson, Eddie Lacy, LeVeon Bell, Christine Michael
WR: Larry Fitzgerald, Eric Decker, Vincent Brown, Justin Blackmon, Nate Washington
TE: Jared Cook
PK: Randy Bullock
TD: Pittsburgh Steelers

Team rated here:
http://subscribers.footballguys.com/rate-my-team/team.php?team=6AEJJI9M7K52&rater=2

Happy with the draft, very happy with my starters, but if one of them goes down before week 4/5, I'm in trouble. Blackmon will be back then, as will hopefully Bell.

Reached for Pryor (not sure why) in round 9, but apart from that, I'm happy enough.

that said Leveon bell should a great addition aswell as blackmon if everyone stays healthy.

But obviously, that will never happen - AP to go down clutching his knee in Q2 on Sunday.

Yeah, I know.
I was fully aware that the draft was Tuesday at 10, it wasn't till after the draft that I actually realized that yesterday was Tuesday.
Some how I had convinced myself that today would be Tuesday.

bummer dude!

did you come out ok?

Here's how my team looks (Greystones Mariners):

QB: RG3, Brandon Weeden
RB: Arian Foster, Daryl Richardson, Bryce Brown, Ben Tate
WR: Demaryius Thomas, Andre Johnson, Emmanuel Sanders, Kenbrell Thompkins, Santonio Holmes
TE: Zach Sudfeld
K: Steve Hauschka
DEF: Indianapolis Colts

Pretty happy with that. Accidentally grabbed Bryce Brown when I meant to go for Ben Tate, which screwed up my backup RBs a little bit. Other than that, I think that's about as much as I could hope for in a 16 man league.

Realalemadrid

Forte Year old virgin:

QB: Andrew Luck, (Sam Bradford)
RB: David Wilson, Chris Ivory, (Roy Helu)
WR: Megatron, Greg Jenings, Greg Little, (Kenny Stills)
TE: Jarmichael Finley (Brent Celek)
K: Matt Bryant
DEF: Bengals (Redskins)

Will hardly scare people.

Can't wait for kickoff all the same.

BizzyC

Wont Come Last:

QB: Cam Newton (Ben Rothlesberger)
RB: Ray Rice, DeAngelo Williams, (Shonne Green, Bilal Powel)
WR: Torrey Smith, Mike Wallace, Kendall Wight (Nate Burleson)
TE: Jimmy Graham (Jermaine Gresham)
K: Blair Walsh
DEF: Patriots

It's a bad bad sign when TE is your best stocked position....

robluvshandegg

Chain Reactions:

QB: Colin Kaepernick, (Tim Tebow)
RB: LeSean McCoy, Stephen Jackson, (Denard Robinson, Daniel Thomas)
WR: Danny Amendola, Anquan Boldin, Tavon Austin, (Brian Quick, Reuben Randle)
TE: Brandon Myers
K: Matt Prater
DEF: Chicago Bears

Hope Danny and Tavon can stay healthy for the season.

Chucky the tree

SuperChamps:

QB: Josh Freeman(Philip Rivers)
RB: BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Ahmad Bradshaw(Jonathon Franklin)
WR: AJ Green, Dwanye Bowe, Brandon Marshall (Brandon LaFell, Rod Streater, Bruce Butler)
TE: Greg Olson
K: Greg Zuerlin
DEF: Texans


Pretty happy with my team considering I was last pick. Having Philips Rivers up against the Oaklands Raiders twice is a great bonus for my back-up QB. Stacked at WR and hopefully Smith and Bowe link up well. Weak spot is obviously running back, meant to draft one first but draft client stalled on me so ended up with two WRs. Rod Streater and Bruce Butler purely for the Raiders link, I think Streater could do well with Pyror though.

AROUND THE LEAGUE

Holding true to draft order, first-round picks in this league have the highest projected point average (14.20) of any round this week. However, third-round (13.76) selections are projected to be more valuable than second-rounders (12.72).

There are expected to be some blowouts across the league this week, with an average margin of victory of 20.84 points.

The tightest winning margin of the week is projected to go to Infacteh Indians, with a difference of 6.70 points.

The Islanders has a tough draw, as they have the most projected points (98.04) in the league among teams predicted to lose this week.

Big Game Bottlers may have caught a scheduling break, as they have the lowest projected score (76.98) in the league for a team predicted to win this week.

Super Troopers FC is projected to win by 56.00 points, the largest margin in the league this week.

Super Troopers FC is projected to score 121.48 points this week, the highest total in the league.

With a projection of 56.54 points this week, Cutlering the Mustard has the lowest total in the league.

Week 1's league-wide projected average for points is 85.58.

I'm lovin these new details! The matchup preview articles are class aswell!

BigBadRob83

These projections look a bit nuts, maybe they'll get better as the year goes on and there's more data to work with.

Victor Cruz projected at 26.2
Ryan Matthews at 18.8 against Texans defense

Will be interesting to see projection vs. actual

you picked streater right in front of me! Serious WR core, pity about your RB's!

That Cruz projection was too low!

Johnny_Fontane

barring something bananas, looks like a week 1 victory. even though he had peyton for 46 points, jared cook and AP put me in a good position.

never won my first week before either.

CJC86

Looks like I'll get the win this week. Did a last minute switch to insure Foster's carries with Tate since it looked like I was in good shape. Should have left Daryl Richardson in, I'd already have the win.

Really feel my opponents pain though, because the 2 players that really hurt him, Megatron and D Wilson, have buried me in my other league.

Can't believe I drafted Greg Olsen over Vernon Davis, ugh.

"SuperChamps is expected to win by 12.20 points, 101.68 - 89.48, according to the Friday projections."

Chain Reactions 135.58 vs SuperChamps 97.80

BigBadRob83

Roddy "Decoy" White cost me this week, losing by 2.5 points with Andre Roberts on the bench.

BizzyC

Jeez my team turned out worse than I feared...going to be a long season.

boccy23

Losing start despite having Peyton. Blah. Really weak at RB2 and WR3 and open to any and all offers. Everyone is on the block. Especially Peyton for a decent offer.

Johnny_Fontane

turned down peyton & ingram for lacy and terrelle pryor.

ballsy move by boccy.

RB's are king though. My last two seasons bear testament to that.

BigBadRob83

Trade Agreed with Boccy23

Roddy White & Knowshon Moreno -for- Mark INgram and Vincent Jackson

League says trade review period is 2 days (so would have thought as we agreed it Friday morning would be finalised Sunday morning), but note on site says it own't process until Monday.

Team Notes
Accepted Trade: Boccys Jockeys and The Islanders pending until the morning of Monday, September 16, 2013.

Commissioner - any way to get this through in advance of games Sunday?

Thanks

Johnny_Fontane

lads, had a look there....doesnt seem like there is anything I can do about it.

I can vote against it, but cant change the two day period.

Thanks for that man.

You can manually drop the players from each team as commissioner and add them to the other team.

If everyone's alright with it, could you do that?

regardless of weather everybodies ok with it or not it shouldn't be done. The Boards FF setup and rules are uniform across all divisions and that's how it should stay.

Reason I'm asking is that we processed it this morning assuming it would be done on time for Sunday, rules say 2 days review but trade won't process until Monday.
Doesn't make sense to punish teams because they did something that we thought we did something on time, and whatever the nfl.com interpretation is, it's obviously different.

Johnny_Fontane

I hear ya rob, but as d3po said, the settings are what they are. I have seen issues with trades before.

Normally what happens is that now one of the players will go down with an acl and you're still stuck with the trade!!!

Johnny_Fontane

annihilated this week. absolutely trounced.

one concussion - lacy
3 missed 50 yarders (randy bullock)
no touchdowns (not even from AP)

I scored 46 points. In fact by 6.30pm yesterday it was over, I was down by 40 points!
