Fantasy Football '14

[stealthee]

We had a fantasy thread last year, so I figured why not do one this year?

Last year I went 8-2 and finished second in my league, and went to the championship game and lost there to the #1 seed. All in all a verfy good season considering how sketchy I felt about my draft class.

This year we are down to 10 teams and are playing a 12 game regular season. We also changed PPR from .5 to 1 and changed to a 2 QB system. These changes affected some draft strategies, but I still think I ended up with a solid squad. I lucked into the #1 overall pick and took the same man I took last year as my #1 overall in Shady McCoy.

Post up what you got.

Here is my roster

QB Matt Stafford
QB Ben Roethlisberger
QB Joe Flacco
RB Lesean McCoy
RB Rashaad Jennings
RB Steven Jackson
RB Pierre Thomas
WR Brandon Marshall
WR Desean Jackson
WR Golden Tate
WR Terrence Williams
TE Vernon Davis
TE Martellus Bennett

D Browns

Your running back core seems sketchy at best. The rest of the team looks solid.

[Matt Palm]

I figured if they could stay healthy id be pretty set. I tried to stock up on wr to cover my ass if need be

[stealthee]

Well, Ball lost his starting job last year and could potentially do the same this year. McFadden has yet to live up to his potential. Shane Vereen isn't a scoring powerhouse.

Even with that the rest of your squad should hold it together for you.

Nice 5th round on ray rice

[wa04compg]

We did 1 keeper from last years team and I kept Jimmy Graham which was a hard choice considering picking 12th makes the RB options thin

[stealthee]

Well no one who posted here drafted him, but word is Welker is suspended 4 games for PED's. Games he probably would have missed due to his concussion issues anyway, but still.

[wa04compg]

Oh welker

[Bio248]

so he'd be a good person to IR for the mean time...

got my second draft tonight and this one includes a few more people who actually know football a little more so it's bound to get more interesting with everyone's picks.

[wa04compg]

Yeah we went from 10 to 12 teams so when I drafted 12th it was slim options

[Bio248]

QB Philip Rivers
RB LeSean McCoy
RB Reggie Bush

WR Pierre Garcon
