Getting more and more wound up with the mistakes I made.

I just shouldn't have taken Fred Jackson over Watkins.

Cheers Dyl.

I didn't have a clue what I was doing.

It started badly when I should have got Megatron but thought I couldn't have him and went downhill form there, if that's possible.

I've looked through all the teams. Everyone has weapons that could win them any one off game. I'd be a bit worried with some of the starting QB's over a season though, but with 16 teams there was bound to be some teams with less than stellar starter.

This will be an interesting season, all those random players at the end, some of them will look like master strokes come game time. Zac Stacey was being picked on average 112th last season, he was the player on more winning fantasy teams than any other :wink:

I am just delighted to get Megatron and jordy nelson, I couldn't believe it when Calvin and Foles fell to me, those three players alone give me confidence.

Just remember to check your projected points and who your players are on bye weeks, you dont want to be fielding a player who is injured or not playing due to schedule!

Let the banter commence from this thursday night, when anyone with Green Bay or Seattle players starts their season!

Fairly happy with my draft (always happy when I get Rodgers)
My RBs are a cause for concern.

Think kickers are overlooked in this game and can be the difference in tight games especially 50 yard+ FGs being knocked in.

I'm putting a lot of faith in Toby Gerhart to be honest. Cruz and Peterson will guarantee me decent points, Tobes, I'm hoping, will resurrect himself at the Jags and join them as my elite point scorers.

Really wanted Foles as my QB, unsure about Colin. Manziel will be known as Johnny God come the end of the season though, you'll all see.

I LOVE gerhart this season, got him in my other draft and was gutted he went elsewhere in this one.

Blake Bortles will get more fantasy points than Manziel this season. Mark it bro 8-)

Went early on team D, kicker and back up QB and ended up thin on depth in other parts. Time will tell on this one.

Johnny Sack will be another Heisman bust by the end of the season.

i'll kick your sorry arses :scarfer:

not overly happy with my WRs (although golden tate on the 7th round was a steal!) but lacy, gore and pierre thomas at RB look nnnice!

Dyl the helmet (Image) stole megatron, rothlisburger and sproles from right under my nose, but could have been worse.

carlos hyde (rookie RB, 49ers) on the 9th round maybe wasn't the greatest pick, bit of a gamble, but he should get game time. and with cj anderson, if the two broncos main running men don't impress or have some injury issues, i'm laughing!

having missed out on big ben, flacco was probably a bit of a panic pick (disconnection didn't help either, i got back online with 29 seconds to go) but he's not that bad as back up for griffin.
i could/should have gone for foles, but he's an eagle and i'd rather root for the redskins (my dad's team) and hope the eagles will have a poor season!

vinatieri isn't the greatest anymore but he's some kind of a legend and the guy i'd go to for a 50+ game-winning field goal with 3 seconds to go.

the autopick in the end gave me two bench defenders, not sure if it's good or not, a relatively unknown RB or WR would have had more "surprise" potential.
it also gave me a reserve TE with the same bye week as the starting one, c'unt of a computer! Image

i'll give a better look at all the other teams tomorrow.

Did everyone else get their post-draft email?

My email predicted that my record would be 1-12-1 (W-L-D), and that I would finish 16th :cry:

Twist.

Wiltshire Raiders are projected to finish 4-10 in 12th place. I beg to differ 8-)

Remember guys, if you are unhappy with some of your picks you can drop them and pick up any available player from the unpicked 'waiver' list. So problems like having a backup TE with the same bye week as your starter are not a problem!

I think any team could win each week, but I am confident of a strong year. Great QB, three above decent RB's and two of the top 10 wrs.

Come at me bitches! 8-)
