Hey, DU Fantasy Footballers!

[Enraged_Ape]

I don't suppose any of you could post who your teams are and how the draft went for all of you, could you?

I wanted to be in it this year, but was just too late. It would be neat to see how things turned out for all you, though.

And if someone could post the weekly standings? PLEASE? PLEASE? PRETTY PLEASE?

1. Here's my Team

D. McNabb (Phi - QB)
T. Owens (Phi - WR)
D. Hall (KC - WR)
K. Jones (Det - RB)
L. Suggs (Cle - RB)
L. Smith (Phi - TE)
E. Smith (Ari - RB)
T. Maddox (Pit - QB)
J. Fargas (Oak - RB)
D. Branch (NE - WR)
B. Troupe (Ten - TE)
L. Evans (Buf - WR)


S. Janikowski (Oak - K)
J. Reed (Pit - K)


Philadelphia (Phi - DEF)
Minnesota (Min - DEF)

I liked the draft, but I still like picking my own defensive players. The highlighted players are my rookies

[Enraged_Ape]

3. Oh, man, you scored the McNabb-TO combo!

I'd thought about going for that in another league that I'm in, but I was too skittish about injuries/bye week.

2. The Scapegoats for 2004

Daunte Culpepper - QB, Minnesota
Marvin Harrison - WR, Indy
Jerry Porter - WR, Oakland
Charlie Garner - RB, Tampa
Chris Brown - RB, Tennessee
Todd Heap - TE, Baltimore
Drew Bennett - WR, Tennessee
Ron Dayne - RB, Giants
Bubba Franks - TE, Green Bay
Josh McCown - QB, Arizona
Larry Fitzgerald - WR, Arizona
Joey Galloway - WR, Tampa
Adam Vinatieri - K, New England
Jason Hanson - K, Detroit
Carolina Defense
Oakland Defense

[Enraged_Ape]

5. Culpepper would have been my first choice at QB too

And Marvin Harrison won't let you down.

[GOPisEvil]

7. I'm kind of iffy at RB though.

IF Charlie Garner revives himself in Tampa..
IF Chris Brown can take over for Eddie George...
IF Ron Dayne is the Ron Dayne of Wisconsin...

But, if two of those guys work out, I'll look like a genius. :D

[LynneSin]

8. I'm the same way with my running backs

wasn't much left when I picked Emmitt Smith, but then I read about all the injuries in Arizona and thought maybe Emmitt might be picking up alot of that slack. Plus I'm going with a rookie on my starting line

:crazy:

If you don't take chances - you don't win fantasy football

[GOPisEvil]

11. I only gambled on Larry Fitzgerald as far as rookies.

But, with Boldin injured for a while, he should get some playing time. He was freaking AWESOME in college. I saw him TORCH my college team for 3 TDs. He made the defense look foolish. (Although, we also lost 77-0 last year too, so apparently defense wasn't our strong suit :eyes:)

[Enraged_Ape]

9. I always draft at least two RBs first before I even think about QB

You can usually score at least a decent QB going into even the fourth round, but RBs go fast.

I think Charlie will pick it up again this year. He's got it in him. I got him off the waiver wire two years ago and he surprised everyone.

[GOPisEvil]

13. Normally, I agree, but Culpepper was the highest scoring QB last year.

He was still sitting there when I picked 8th, so I grabbed him.

[11 Bravo]

20. Charlie Garner played at my High School...

(JEB Stuart in Falls Church, VA). I graduated about 15 years before he played but I returned to the neighborhood after the Army and college and wound up working the chain gang at Stuart games while Charlie played. He was a fucking beast in high school! Nobody could even lay a hand on him, much less bring him down.

[Beware the Beast Man]

4. Mayfield Morans:

I didn't fare too poorly for not being able to be at the draft last night: Priest Holmes, Hines Ward, Jeff Garcia, some decent picks overall. How's Seattle's defense?

[Enraged_Ape]

6. Seattle's defense is ranked near the top

They really beefed up their secondary with cornerback Bobby Taylor.

Looks like you got a pretty solid team there.

[Beware the Beast Man]

10. Sweet!

So how did this work, since I wasn't there? Did somebody pick for me when my round was up, or did it happen automatically? Some of those picks are too good, if you ask me.

[GOPisEvil]

12. I think they went with the highest ranked player at whatever vacancy

there was. It was automatic from your pre-draft list.

[MallRat]

19. It uses a pre-ranked list.

Yahoo has a default list, or you could've submitted your own.

When your turn comes up, Yahoo selects the highest-ranked remaining player on your list, as long as he fills a position of need. The downside is that Yahoo will probably draft your TE, K, and DEF before selecting a 3rd RB or a 2nd QB.

Still, the Yahoo autodraft is much, much better than it used to be.

14. Funny you should ask, just got my draft notice this morning.

Overall, I'm pretty stisfied, but I may have a hole at TE.


QB S. McNair
WR R. Moss
WR J. Horn
WR J. Smith
RB M. Faulk
RB C. Dillon
TE J. Witten
BN W. McGahee
BN P. Warrick
BN R. Wayne
BN D. Carr
BN D. Clark

K J. Wilkins

DEF Miami
BN Minnesota

[Enraged_Ape]

24. I like Witten at TE

Let's face it; there aren't that many GREAT TEs this year. Witten has the talent, though, and he should definitely improve on his rookie year numbers, which weren't too bad in the last half of the season. (The question will be if Testaverde can get the ball to him!)

[Commendatori]

15. I had to be at Dulles during the draft, but

for not showing up I seem to have come out okay, especially with the Brooks-Horn combo. My RBs are A. Green and K. Barlow, so I'm in decent shape there. My only real problem is that my reserves in some cases suck (Bledsoe), and in others too concentrated (Lelie-Bell-Griffin, and I'm not even a Broncos fan).

I wouldn't have drafted what I have had I been able to participate, but I've had absentee drafts worse than this.

[funkybutt]

16. Brooks is injured already! (n/t)

[Commendatori]

17. Figures.

[Enraged_Ape]

21. Well, take heart that one of your Denver RBs...

is going to be at least a 1,200 yard guy this year (probably Griffin). And you'll have Lelie to cover if him he gets injured.

If Brooks holds up, sounds to me like you came out pretty good.

[MallRat]

18. Snake Plisskin? I thought you were dead!

Here's my roster.

QB: Green, Delhomme
RB: McAllister, Dillon, Bennett, Dunn, S. Jackson, L. Johnson
WR: S. Moss, Chambers, R. Smith, Lloyd, Kennison
TE: Clark
K: Carney
DEF: St. Louis

We start 2 RBs, 2 WRs, and 1 RB/WR.

So, any thoughts?

-MR

[Enraged_Ape]

22. That's a good team

Particularly good choices in Green, McAllister, Dillon, Santana, and even Chambers (it will be interesting to see what happens to the Miami offense without Ricky Williams). Some people like to hitch their wagons to a single superstar. I prefer to assemble a bunch of decent guys in several positions as you have here.

[Catholic Sensation]

23. Catholic Sensations

1. Randy Moss, WR - Minnesota
2. Peyton Manning, QB - Indianapolis
3. Brian Westbrook, RB - Philadelphia
4. Kellen Winslow, TE - Cleveland
5. Justin McCareins, WR - NY Jets
6. Baltimore Ravens Defense
7. Amani Toomer, WR - NY Giants
8. DeShaun Foster, RB - Carolina Panthers
9. John Brown, K - Seattle
10. Byron Leftwich, QB - Jacksonville
11. Rod Gardney, WR - Washington
12. Anthony Thomas, RB - Chicago
13. Anquan Boldin, WR - Arizona
14. Richie Anderson, RB - Dallas
15. Terry Glenn, WR - Dallas
16. RaShaun Woods, WR - San Francisco

After week 8 my receiving corps will be Randy Moss and Anquan Boldin, and my QB will be Peyton Manning. I'm salivating just thinking of the numbers they'll be putting up

[CandyCrim21]

25. COWBOYS!

I know what your all thinking! Gimme a break they can only suck for so long and from what I here we got a kick ass running back in the draft so ..........FINGERS CROSSED!!!!:hi:

[maveric]

26. Granted the Chargers suck, but no one took Tomlinson at RB?

IMO he's the best all aroung RB in the NFL.

[sasquatch]

28. I believe Rudi Johnson is the most underestimated runningback

with Priest Holmes, Jamal Lewis and Eddie George making up the best of the league.

[maveric]

29. LT ran for 1500+ and caught 100 passes.

With the worst O-Line in the NFL. Imagine the numbers he'd put up with a decent line?

[sasquatch]

27. Sasquatch Warriors- our league hasn't had its draft yet
