The Rate My Draft Thread

These are still just rumors and Tate has his own injury history. D-Jax is the most frustrating fantasy WR ever. Fitzgerald should be a top 3 WR this year.

Wrong, they are fact. Foster has had injections for this. Tate does have an injury history, but he is healthy and is Houston's current feature back. D-Jax can be boom or bust but last year showed us he was more than a one trick pony and should get more opportunities especially deep in a chip kelly offense. Fitz being a top 3 receiver is very doubtful. Top 10 maybe?

A lot of people have Palmer and Fitzgerald being the reincarnation of Montana and Rice! :p

And the only o-line worse than Arizona's is Oakland right now. Palmer will be lucky to finish the season in crutches instead of a wheel chair lol.

Exactly! It does't help that he'll likely have no run support, like he did in OAK. OAK had a much better TE, too.

To be fair tho, Arizona did a lot to improve its o line in signing Winston and drafting Cooper. Still has holes and will be one of the lower ranked units but it wont be as bad as it was last year. Oakland on the other hand is a threat to go 0-16

A boom or bust player like d jax is the perfect wr3 or flex play.

I don't trust him at all and he will never be on my team. His bust is a lot bigger than his boom, although this new offense may be good for him.

I've never been a D-Jax fan but this year I would draft him. They are going to run a lot of plays, he's their only real option in the passing game, and has a good repertoire w/ Vick. He also seems tuned-in. I think he could see five catches a game out of the 80 plays they will try and run.

My main issue is TE. I'm not on a big fan of Housler, but I know some ppl like him as a breakout candidate. WR is a little weak for a PPR as well. I prefer to have at least 1 true #1 WR. RBs and QB are elite though.

basically there was a run on TEs between rd 3-4, so i decided to load up and wait

I also forgot to post its a little deeper league

I agree w/ Gabe about your TE. I had Housler as a sleeper as well. But he has done nothing in PS to merit that so far. In two preseason games so far he has 1 target for 0 receptions. Has me worried.

RavensPunkXVX · August 22, 2013

Okay. Joined a 12 team league. Here are my draft results.

QB Andrew Luck

HB Alfred Morris

HB Darren McFadden

WR Julio Jones

WR Pierre Garcon

TE Brandon Meyers

DEF Arizona Cardinals

K Kai Forbath

LB Terrell Suggs

DB DeAngelo Hall

BN WR Justin Blackmon

BN WR Kenny Britt (Gonna drop and pick up HB)

BN QB Phillip Rivers

BN WR Mike Wallace

BN HB Ryan Matthews

BN WR Tavon Austin

BN WR Denarious Moore

Picked a boat load of WR's, but I picked up Britt and realized he had an injury so I'll probably drop him, depending.

Hopefully Mr. Luck has a break out season...

You've got a lot of high-risk players in McFadden, Blackmon, Moore, Austin, Britt and Matthews...

RavensPunkXVX · August 22, 2013

This was only my second draft ever. I was flustered. haha.

I did intend on taking risky players like McFadden and Tavon Austin. The others, I just happened upon.

RavensPunkXVX · August 22, 2013

If you could swap any of those guys out, who would it be? Not too much on the waiver wire, but WR Brandon LaFell is out there for Carolina and Jacquizz Rodgers and this is a PPR league so he might be someone to look after?

Is your league PPR? I'd probably pick up Rodgers either way.

Yeah, it's a PPR league. What WR should I drop? I think Kenny Britt has a lingering injury, not sure if he'll produce.

Hmm. Bell is tempting too, but he is going to miss some time. In the long run, he will be likely be the most productive back out of that group.

I would drop Britt.

im assuming you were picking about 7th? your draft looks really good, Stafford could end up being awesome trade bate, i think he has a big year. Crazy stat, Lions wrs were tackled 23 times inside the 5 yard line and i think bush will be heavily involved in the passing game. Same with mathews, if he stays healthy he could have a good year, but thats a huge IF.
