My FF Team

lee909 · 07-21-2013, 04:30 AM

Wow,i have just joined a new dynasty league and have to my great shame taken over the Steelers in the leagues North division.
Im pretty sure the red headed stepchild of Al Davis and Jerry Jones was in charge of the team before me.Its a 12 team league and im stuck with Roethlisberger as my starting QB and Chad Henne as back up.

He was deffo a massive homer when it came to drafting
I have decided to keep
Ben Roethlisberger QB PIT
Rashard Mendenhall RB ARI
Steven Jackson RB ATL
Reggie Bush RB DET
Calvin Johnson WR DET
Cecil Shorts WR JAC
Ryan Broyles WR DET
Heath Miller TE PIT
Clay Mathews LB GB
Roman Harper S NO
Stephen Tulloch LB DET
Charles Johnson DL CAR

Cut
Chad Henne QB JAC
Larod Stephen-Howling RB PIT
James Stark RB GB
Brandon Gibson WR MIA
Santana Moss WR WAS
Dan Bailey K DAL

Now my initial though was to draft a QB early and some help at TE and WR and try and steal a long term upgrade at RB.Then i noticed a trade had been made last year with Dallas for Ryan Tannehill and the plans crashed.I have no first round draft pick this year as he traded it for Tannehill,okay i can sort this.Tannehill has alot of upside in the next year or two.He cut him a week later for Henne as it was a emergency trade.He also attempted a trade for MJD offering C Johnson in exchange but luckily it was Vetoed
I should have had Vernon Davis till he traded him for Santana Moss,i do have a second pick in the second as part of the Tannehill trade as it was Tannehill/2nd round pick for Freeman/1st.

Its going to take some work to get this disaster back on track.May even require a Jimmy Johnson/Herschel Walkerstyle trade with Calvin Johnson.

Hopefully you don't have to fork over money for that.

Yuck.

I'd probably move Calvin Johnson to upgrade your team too. Small downgrade at WR and get a solid RB with it.

Im going to wait till after the draft and try and trade him towards the end of the season to a contender and grab a load of picks to try and get obe of the QBs coming out next year. I think ill get more later on. It also lets me see who I can get from the draft.
Its s free league so no money loss.

It's early to be drafting huh?

lee909 · 07-27-2013, 02:09 PM

First year dynasty draft so not much of a issue.
Im in a ton of leagues so its handy that this one is early

lee909 · 07-27-2013, 09:31 PM

And here is my team
I could have picked up some more experienced players for the bench but i liked the upside of the rookies for a dynasty draft.
I generally stay away from Saints players
Quite happy and took a flyer on Lattimore late
I should have taken a second WR earlier looking at it again but i went with RG3 and Graham as there was a rush at QB and wanted Graham and then a big rush at WR.
Happy enough though as i think ill have some trade bait with a RB

I really like the group of LBs. Team looks good though there's some uncertainty behind Charles at RB. That said, there's definitely some upside there.

lee909 · 07-27-2013, 10:58 PM

I could have taken Jackson or Forte as a second RB but went Cobb-Graham instead.In the 4th round Gore was still there but i wanted somebody to last more than a year.
Im really happy with the IDPs.
I just missed out on Cam Jordan so went with Rob Ninkovich instead,the great thing is he could end up at LB this year so his stats should stand out.
Not going to get many INT from the DB but with scoring of 2pts INT,1 solo/0.5 assisted tackles and 2 for sacks/forced fumbles i wanted run stuffing safties instead of CBs.

Just glad i didnt take Maclin and Pitta,im working so went to bed early as the draft was 1am in theuk and got up for the draft and i hadnt seen any news on either being out for the season.
