My Team
Just finished my fantasy draft through Yahoo sports. It's a league set up by a guy in my company. The draft was online and 15 players for each of the 14 teams were drafted in about 70 minutes.Not bad.
Fourteen teams is probably too at least 2 teams too many.
To make matters worse, I drafted 11th out of 14.
The league gives 5 points for a passing TD and 6 for a running TD, so I felt it was important to move the QBs up the draft board a bit. Most fantasy magazines figure on 4 points for a passing TD.
Anyway, given my bad draft position, I took Donovan McNabb with my first pick. That was a mistake. Some good QBs were available later on in the draft. But at the time it seemed like a wise move because all of the sure-fire RBs were already gone.
Still, it would have been better to have taken two second-tier RBs than to take two second-to-third-tier backs like I ended up with. I'm gambling a bit with them.
Here's my team:
QB- McNabb (PHI)
RB- Julius Jones (DAL)
RB- Fred Taylor (JAX)
WR- Steve Smith (CAR)
WR- Ashley Lelie (DEN)
TE- Dallas Clark (IND)
K- Jeff Reed (PIT)
DEF- Washington
W/R- Brandon Stokely (IND)
Backups:
JJ Arrington RB, ARZ
Thomas Jones RB, CHI
Bubba Franks TE, GB
Eli Manning QB, NYG
John Kasay K, CAR
Jacksonville
The W/R position is for an extra running back or wide receiver we can play each week. I can put JJ Arrington, Thomas Jones, or Brandon Stokley in there at any time. Stokley will be my WR backup for bye weeks, and I can play the hot hand at RB as needed.
In week one Arizona is at the Giants, Chicago is at Washington, and Indianapolis is at Baltimore, so I really don't know who to play for week one.
