I have the 2nd pick in my money league draft tomorrow night. In the league TD passes are worth 6 pts, so would you take a chance on Vick or just stick with Foster?

8/26/2011 4:53:33 PM

If passing tds are worth six Aaron Rodgers would be #1 on my list

8/26/2011 5:03:22 PM

how many teams in the league?

I'd take a Romo/Rivers/Schaub and Foster combo over a Rogers and Gore combo

8/26/2011 5:19:03 PM

Rodgers over Vick or any of the big 4 rbs since pass tds are 6 pts too?

Its a 12 team league

"one scenario has peyton manning available at my 4th pick. would i be a fool not to take him or should i keep drafting rbs and wrs?"

I'm very skeptical of Peyton this year...guy in my league who had already drafted Brees picked up Manning, hoping he would be good trade bait later in the season...I wouldn't take him at 31...speaking of Peytons, I'm not really sold on Hillis this year...I had him last year and he was great, but he had zero touchdowns the last 5 weeks of the season

^I'd take ADP/Foster then try to get a Rivers or Brady later in the draft

8/26/2011 5:55:17 PM

I know Brady will be gone by the time I pick, as the guy picking 12th and 13th loves him. I mean I could hold out that someone doesn't take Manning (due to him being injured), or that Rivers slips, but I have a feeling, Rodgers, Vick, Brees, Rivers, Brady, and Manning will all be gone early.

in a 6pts for passing tds league, which is better Vick or Rodgers/Forte or Jackson combo better than say Foster/Big Ben or Freeman?

8/26/2011 8:27:05 PM

Doing a 10-team draft standard scoring.. picking from the 2nd position:

So far:

Qb: Peyton Manning
Rb: Adrian Peterson
Rb: Steven Jackson
Rb/Wr: Ahmad Bradshaw
Wr: Hakeem Nicks
Wr: Steve Johnson
Te: Jermichael Finley

8/26/2011 10:12:19 PM

I would handcuff with Jacobs... but then you have 3 Giants

8/26/2011 10:40:48 PM

ok I think I have talked myself into sticking with a RB with the #2 pick in my league (6 pts for passing tds) and hoping a decent QB falls.

So with that being said, is anyone wary of Foster having a letdown this year? Who do you take #2, Charles, Foster, Rice?

8/26/2011 11:42:14 PM

Ppr? And i think you are making the right decision... personally, I don't think foster wil be a problem, as long as he stays healthy. But if you are worried, I'm torn between charles and rice

8/27/2011 8:12:49 AM

No ppr, I am just worried that losing their FB to the Ravens is going to have an effect on Foster.

8/27/2011 8:19:09 AM

so what'd you end up doing? I'm in the same position

8/27/2011 10:37:53 AM

Draft is tonight at 8:30 pm ....leaning towards Foster at the moment. Going to hope that a decent QB falls, just think that a top RB will be harder to find than a QB that gets me week to week.

8/27/2011 10:44:09 AM

man, I'm torn. Rodgers and Vick are projected to get 500 points this year, Foster/Peterson are around 275

8/27/2011 10:46:37 AM

yea I know, in my league (CBS Sports) Vick and Rodgers are 366 pts while Foster is only like 242. This is where it gets confusing...the 12-15th RBs are projected for like 160-175 pts, while the 10th-12th QB is projected for around 280 pts. So do I go with Vick and hope he stays healthy and pair him with Blount or hope Forte falls? Or do you go Foster, and pick up like Josh Freeman or Big Ben?

8/27/2011 11:00:49 AM

I took Peterson (1st pick went to Foster) and then got Romo and Roddy White

Biofreak70 had the 10th and 11th picks and lucked out with Jamaal Charles and Vick

8/27/2011 11:09:55 AM

my team is just about exactly what I had hoped for

8/27/2011 12:12:03 PM

alright, I'll post my team, 2nd pick, 10 team draft, non-ppr but return yards count pretty heavily (20 yards = 1 point)

QB - Tony Romo (2nd round)
RB - Adrian Peterson (1)
RB - Matt Forte (4)
WR - Roddy White (3)
WR - Mike Williams (TB) (5)
WR - Jeremy Maclin (6)
TE - Kellen Winslow (8)

8/27/2011 1:14:26 PM

8/27/2011 1:28:15 PM

I'm going to create a free league on Yahoo that drafts tomorrow night. High scoring. 2pt per reception, along with some other Metro rules.

Anyone interested.

Rules: Give me a metro scoring rule, and I'll add it if its up to snuff.

Metro Rule 1: 2pt per reception

8/27/2011 5:01:05 PM

kickoff touchback is worth 1 point for the kicker

8/27/2011 5:12:19 PM

1 point per 5 return yards

8/27/2011 5:25:22 PM

I'm game for a high scoring league.

If that is indeed what you are going for, what about .5 pts per completion

8/27/2011 5:26:26 PM

^

That's a great metro rule. It will be included.

8/27/2011 5:27:13 PM

No kickers

8/27/2011 5:31:09 PM

Changed teams to 20. Metro has hell. Definitely might change that, though.

8/27/2011 5:33:15 PM

What if set up where you want a shitty team defense?

example

int: -2pt
allow 400 total yards: +5pts

8/27/2011 5:38:50 PM

Hell yeah, Panthers first pick!

8/27/2011 5:41:06 PM

Official league rules (so far)

No kickers.

You are rewarded for shitty team defense.

1pt per 5 return yds

.5 per completion

.2 per rush attempt

2pts per reception

8/27/2011 5:57:10 PM

big fan of the defensive scoring setup

8/27/2011 6:05:05 PM

i'd join if the draft time is pushed back

8/27/2011 6:22:41 PM

14 team hardcore league, 2 keepers

Keepers:
P. Rivers - QB
A. Peterson - RB

Greg Jennings - WR
Dez Bryant - WR
Julio Jones - WR
Jahvid Best - RB
Dustin Keller - TE
Neil Rackers - K
New Orleans - Def

Bench:
Mark Ingram - RB
Robert Meachem - WR
Greg Little - WR
DeMarco Murray - RB
Jacoby Jones - WR
Atlanta - Def

Love my WR and RBs, but definitely more rookie heavy than I normally do, but the picks/spots just kept matching up

8/27/2011 7:53:19 PM

Quote :

"Romo in the 2nd round?"

Passing TDs are worth 6 points, and every other top QB was already off the board. I was VERY close to taking Rodgers with the 2nd pick in the draft, if Adrian Peterson would've gone #1 instead of falling to me at #2 then I probably wouldve.

8/27/2011 8:19:24 PM

Sheesh guy took Brady first overall (6 pts for pass td's) so I took ADP #2.

8/27/2011 8:33:41 PM

Just like I thought top 7 QBs were gone by 23rd pick. Decided to go with a matchups for my QB, so I finished with the following:

(1) Adrian Peterson RB
(2) Frank Gore RB
(3) Hakeem Nicks WR
(4) Desean Jackson WR
(5) Dez Bryant WR
(6) Ryan Matthews RB
(7) Ben Roethlisberger QB
(8) Steve Smith (CAR) WR
(9) Josh Freeman QB
(10) Jonathan Stewart RB
(11) Jimmy Graham TE
(12) Chargers D/ST
(13) Sebastian Janikowski K
(14) Steve Smith (phi) WR

8/27/2011 9:48:04 PM

hey now, we need more rules to go by in your metro league

8/28/2011 10:40:17 AM

I'm listening.

We need at least one more player.

8/28/2011 12:12:09 PM

what about ½ point per pass attempt

is there a setting to get more points for longer pass completions/rushes

[Edited on August 28, 2011 at 12:18 PM. Reason : ]

8/28/2011 12:14:34 PM

I've seen leagues that do -.25 for attempts, and .5 for completions (so it is really -.25 for incomplete, and .25 for completions); also seen bonuses for rush/pass/receiving plateaus (ie: over 100 rushing yards will get you an extra 5 pts, etc)

8/28/2011 12:24:28 PM

^^
Yeah, you get a bonus for 40+ yard plays.

Need one more team.

Draft is tentatively set up for 7:45 tonight.

All the owners are tww'rs but one.

I'd join, but I am not a fan of no money leagues, and I'd lose interest and not be worth anything

I just did a draft for our wonky keeper league:

QB: Tom Brady
RB: Michael Turner
RB: Frank Gore
WR: Percy Harvin
WR: Vincent Jackson
WR: Brandon Marshall
TE: Dallas Clark
Def: Philly
K: Sebastian Janikowski (got him in the last round after 5 other kickers were picked... surprised me)

BN: Marshawn Lynch
BN: Tim Hightower
BN: Mark Sanchez
BN: Mike Thomas (jac)
BN: Michael Crabtree
BN: Robert Meachem
BR: James Starks

I wasn't happy cause V. Jax was my only keeper, but I feel like I came out alright

[Edited on August 28, 2011 at 5:40 PM. Reason : not too shabby- not as good as yesterdya, but not too shabby]

8/28/2011 5:35:25 PM

I'm a 2nd year FF n00b which is more obvious since I picked a whole lot of Indy WRs without realizing it , but otherwise it was a good draft!

QB: Aaron Rodgers
RB: Knowshon Moreno (keeper)
RB: Darren McFadden (keeper)
WR: Austin Collie (keeper)
WR: Greg Jennings
WR: Reggie Wayne
TE: Jason Witten
DEF: Green Bay
K: Garrett Hartley

8/28/2011 5:44:28 PM

just finished the draft in my 14 team keeper league. you can keep 0-4 players each year.

Starters
QB Drew Brees (keeper)
RB Rashard Mendenhall (keeper)
RB Jonathan Stewart
WR Calvin Johnson (keeper)
WR Mike Wallace (keeper)
WR Kenny Britt
DST Jets
K Nick Folk

Reserves
RB Ryan Grant
RB James Starks
WR Robert Meachem
WR Jordy Nelson
WR Antonio Brown
QB Donovan McNabb


Probably starting Grant over Stewart in week 1 though, possibly longer once I see how those situations play out.

8/28/2011 5:54:25 PM

fuck, I have the 2nd overall pick.

Jamaal Charles or Ray Rice?

Im not taking Arian Foster, and as much as i want to to take Chris Johnson I cant.

8/28/2011 7:20:13 PM

Draft is on in 25 min.
