ILNFL™ Dirty Dozen: 2011 Fantasy Football Thread

personally i am just foolin around here, don't mind me. after today there is basically 0.01% i could make any time over next 10 days so don't factor me in. i am interested to see what kinda job i make of the autodraft, never had to do before.

I'm not huge on fantasy football and I am already in a league with the drummer in my band, so I won't do the Dirty Dozen (all though I am in the pickem league as that is more my thing).

It's a 10 club league...this is who I got. I think my Qb/WR look pretty good, but my backs are not great. I think Greene might do OK, as he might be the main back for the Jets this year right. I figure Manningham could be the big target with Smith gone from the Giants too.

Philip Rivers QB
Andre Johnson WR
Matt Forte RB
DeSean Jackson WR
Jermichael Finley TE
BenJarvus Green-Ellis RB
Mario Manningham WR
Shonn Greene RB
Daniel Thomas RB
Malcom Floyd WR
Falcons D/ST D/ST
Mike Tolbert RB
Mark Sanchez QB
Alex Henery K
Matt Bryant K

Tolbert/Manningham are legit sleepers imo

Manningham is still going to be second fiddle to Nicks, but you're right that his chances of performing have improved.

original draft time still stands (too late now to change it for fear some people wouldn't get the notification...soz omar)

shit, this is gonna be HARD.

Damn hard - I see us in the 13th round having to choose between Brian Hartline and Kassim Osgood to finish off our teams!

i'm drafting 11 kickers this year

I've never played in a 16-team league before.

so what time are we doing this today?

7:30...right?

est

7:30 pm ET
6:30 pm CT
5:30 pm MT
4:30 pm PT

hey, is the draft order tbd or is it set right now in the league standings?

apparently set half hour before draft

Yeah, we'll know in a minute or two.

It's up now

Ooh, I'm 9th out of 16. That's a sweet spot.

12th! that means i win

can't believe I'm drafting fucking 16th

game on yall

we're missing four

and now 2

fuck drafting 16th

auction next time imo

got stuck coming home and it auto-drafted for me so i ended up with lul kolb at QB.

this is moving at a healthy clip

QB - Peytey and Cutler with Fitzpatrick in the wings
WR - Wes Welker, Kenny Britt, Devin Hester, Plaxico, Brad Smith
RB - LeSean McCoy, Ahmad Bradshaw, Darren Sproles, Ryan Torain
TE - Dustin Keller
D - KC
IDP - Ray Lewis, Barrett Ruud, Eric Weddle
K - Josh Brown (STL)

I need a lot to fall right but it could be a good draft.

Return yardage is gonna be a big ? for all of us.

if there even is much return yardage this year

well, punt returns are still punt returns.

Team Kreayshawn Johnson

QB: Matt Ryan, Alex Smith
RB: Adrian Peterson, DeAngelo Williams, Leon Washington, Tashard Choice
WR (yikes): Danny Amendola, Jacoby Ford, Deion Branch, Anthony Armstrong, Derrick Mason
TE: Owen Daniels, Aaron Hernandez
K: David Akers
DEF: Philly, Houston
IDP: Larry Timmons, Derrick Johnson, Kevin Burnett

i went with cagey vets who all have the same bye week

team: J'accuse Jacquizz

qb Ben Roethlisberger
WR Hakeem Nicks Santonio Holmes Johnny Knox bench: Michael Crabtree, Jacoby Jones, Mohamed Massaquoi
RB Chris Johnson Beanie Wells Willis McGahee bench: Jacquizz Rodgers, Jerome Harrison, Mike Goodson
TE Kellen Winslow
IDP: Paul Posluszny, D.J. Williams, Paris Lenon
K Jay Feely
D San Francisco

decided not to draft a backup qb or te.
all my starting rbs have byes the same week
wish I had grabbed a bill but Poz kind of counts.

qb eli manning
wr andre johnson, reggie wayne, dwayne bowe
rb darren mcfadden, ladainian
te gronkowski
wrt hines ward

bn marion barber, shane vereen
k mason crosby
def pitt, tn, ind, mn
d trent cole, jared allen, laron landry, james harrison

kinda fucked myself w/ rbs, don't expect much out of this team

qb: kolb, henne
wr: mike wallace, vincent jackson, mario manningham, anquan boldin, braylon edwards, donald driver
rb: ray rice, marshawn lynch, ronnie brown
te: jared cook, benjamin watson

actually feel like i did pretty well considering that it was on auto-draft. decent wr + rb options w/ some potential upside -- qb a little weak but both qb's w/ potential

+ i even got an iggle, even if he won't be getting much play time

forks congrats toyota has recognized u as best draftee

The Best Draft of the 2011 season goes to...

Funcussion

Manager: forksclovetofu

qb: michael vick, david garrard
wr: greg jennings, austin collie, james jones
rb: frank gore, mike tolbert, ryan grant, ben tate, toby gerhart, ricky williams
te: dallas clark, brandon pettigrew
k: alex henery
def: chi, atl
d: eric berry, demarcus ware, michael griffin

would be happier w/ a better backup to vick than garrard, somehow managed to draft two team def w/ same bye week, hoping one of those lottery ticket rbs pays off

lol wtf why does toyota like me?

Alpaca Lips

QB: Drew Brees, Matt Cassel
RB: LeGarrette Blount, Benjarvus Green-Ellis, Danny Woodhead, Stevan Ridley, Javon Ringer
WR: Julio Jones, Nate Burleson, Antonio Brown, Greg Little, Mark Clayton (who I just now noticed is on the PUP list)
TE: Marcedes Lewis, Brent Celek
K: Adam Vinateri
DEF: New England
IDP: James Anderson, Brian Urlacher, Kerry Rhodes

Hopefully, one of the NE rbs will rise to the top (Ridley looks good) or else I'll be stuck with a committee of fantasy underperformers.

gotta be the brad smith 19th rd pick imo xp

LeRaggette Blount:

QB: Philip Rivers, Cam Newton
RB: Felix Jones, Tim Hightower, Knowshon Moreno, Michael Bush, DeMarco Murray, Delone Carter
WR: Dez Bryant, Malcolm Floyd, Robert Meachem, Denarius Moore, Andre Roberts
TE: Jimmy Graham
K: Lawrence Tynes
Def: Dallas
IDP: James Laurinaitis, Curtis Lofton, Yeremiah Bell

lol cam newton

i was so fucking proud of that 19th round brad smith pick i gotta say

mordy - you seem to have the deepest wr spot
symsymsym - I like the philosophy behind your qb picks, pick a top tier guy and pick a crap shoot

yeah, mordy's wr pool is good considering the circumstances of this draft (especially considering he auto-drafted). maybe i'll auto-draft next year, damn.

anyone wanna trade me an RB for a WR? open to trades.

funcussion, before I offer a counter proposal, what makes you think I would the deal straight up.

U JUST GOT SNRUBBED:

QB: Josh Freeman, Andy Dalton (!!!)
RB: Rashard Mendenhall, Shonn Greene, Cedric Benson, Deji Karim, Justin Forsett, Dion Lewis
WR: Percy Harvin, A.J. Green, Brandon Banks, Emmanuel Sanders
TE: Heath Miller
K: Billy Cundiff
D/ST: New York Jets
IDP: Jon Beason, Jerod Mayo, David Harris, Brian Cushing

jbn: both unknown commodities at this point in the season, you have no backup qb, high potential/high risk trade 4 both of us. if you're not into it that's cool; i like my team quite a bit but i'm a titans fan and i would love to roll with cj

mccoy and bradshaw are gonna be every week producers barring an injury.

are ppl seriously downrating cj this season? hasn't he been stellar under every circumstance?
