Ivory over Ingram was a good call IMO. If he's healthy I think he puts up some good numbers. Shonn Greene was able to produce adequate fantasy numbers for the Jets and he's half the player Ivory is.

In my draft last night I waited too long for a QB and ended up with Dalton after a few guys grabbed backups. Was hoping to get Wilson. I'm actually quite high on Dalton and not feeling too bad about it, though. I didn't grab any stud RBs either, but again I actually feel good about it. All were later round unproven guys/value picks that I think have shots at starter-level fantasy production. There's crazily enough some promising RBs sitting undrafted right now but I can't actually pick them up cause my bench is baller. I'm sitting on the best WR core in the league bar none (CJ, AJ Green, Cruz, M Wallace, S Johnson, E Sanders).

I was actually thinking of dropping Sanders and grabbing Roethlisberger to run a QBBC, not sure if I want to use the bench spot though (6 total). Start 3 receivers and no flex so 5 is kinda the minimum that I'd want.

Seems like you drafted on BPA instead of positional need, which is wise. Looks like your first 3 picks were receivers (CJ, Green and Cruz) and I assume Wallace was probably your 5th pick. Damn good receiving corps. You can always spark a trade and cash one of them in for a stud RB or a QB if Dalton disappoints.

i would trade cj and one of your value rbs for a top 5 rb. you definitely dont need that many good receivers

as for me im in a 2-man keeper league. i decided to keep ray rice and graham. almost took cj2k instead because i knew rb was gonna be thin with most people keeping rbs but i think my team turned out pretty well:

QB-Matthew Stafford
RB-Ray Rice
RB-Maurice Jones-Drew
WR-Mike Wallace
WR-Antonio Brown
TE-Jimmy Graham
RB/WR-Darren Sproles
D/ST-Steelers
K-Dan Bailey

BN-Shane Vereen
BN-Greg Jennings
BN-Andre Brown
BN-Roethlisburger
BN-Michael Floyd
BN-Mikel Leshoure
BN-Jordan Cameron

hoping jones-drew is my high risk, high reward pick this year. he has the potential to be a top 5 back and id be in pretty good position if he stays healthy and produces obviously. i think sproles is a really underrated player. his value is clearly higher in a PPR league which this isnt but he'll still score between 12-14 points week in and week out which is great for a flex spot.

Grabbed Wallace in the 8th :cool:

Dude was trying to trade me RG3 for CJ yesterday -- I replied noting how ridiculous that would be. He tries again for AJ Green, rejected again with no reply. Then today he drops RG3 (??). Have a shot at getting him on waivers but I'm not holding my breath. Would be nice though.

The fuck? Who was his other QB?

Peyton. Not really sure what his angle is here...most likely explanation is it was a mistake. I mean he still has a backup defense (lol).

Well, he cleared waivers today and I landed him. A few hours ago the owner posted a message saying:

Quote:

My daughter grabbed my phone at the exact moment the confirmation popped up to drop Rg and she hit yes. Congrats buzz on getting effin lucky

Thoughts? If that's true, then I do feel bad about it and I don't think I deserve RG3. But, there are some strange things about this:

- Why was he even at the point of being on the confirmation page to drop him?
- Why didn't he say anything as soon as it happened?
- Why wouldn't he use his #1 waiver priority to fix the mistake?

I'm willing to be fair but I also don't want to be taken for a ride. It's a public league, for what it's worth.

How was RG III even droppable? In any case that sounds fucking fishy as hell to me. Like a backdoor way to try and force a trade. Sounds like he waited 4 days. Also sounds like he should have used his waiver priority. I mean what the fuck?

lol, so I wrote back "I don't feel great about it, if that's true. But I have to wonder why you didn't mention it before he cleared waivers, or why you wouldn't use your #1 waiver priority to remedy the mistake..."

I'm only using Mobile, I tried probably 16 times to pick him up but it wasn't letting me. I didn't want to post in case no one saw it.

Yeah, okay buddy. So in other words you didn't want to give up your #1 waiver priority, and were hoping no one would notice so you could just pick him back up for free. Then a few hours later he says to me:

Quote:

My next trade was going to be Wallace

Meaning he was going to offer RG3 for my Mike Wallace, who I drafted 3 spots AFTER he picked RG3. Right, this is definitely not an attempt to guilt me into giving up Wallace as a consolation prize for his dumbass mistake.

I predict Aaron Rodgers will have a bad year because he's on my Fantasy Football team.
