I've got an auction draft tomorrow night using the following scoring:



Trying to figure out the closest beersheet to this scoring system and what adjustments I should make, 10 teams $200 budget.. Any help would be appreciated.

Ask me about how my football team's success determines my self worth, and how I wish I lived in New Orleans.
So I feel like going in not knowing poo poo about poo poo this year, I didn't do bad. I ALMOST got Ivory when I took Sankey but got sniped. At that point I just wanted #1 backs, and Sankey was there...I had no idea he sucked this preseason until after I drafted him though. I also ALMOST got Martellus Bennett but that got sniped from me as well. If I were able to land those two, I think I would have killed that draft but what do you think? 12 team, 1PPR league. I drafted 11/12.

Considering how homer you went with this draft, I'd say it went pretty well for you. Julio/Evans is a great WR combo and Murray/Gore isn't terrible either. Your depth at those two positions is also good and I'd be happy with Ryan there as a starter. Sankey? I wouldn't worry too much. He still has a good chance to get a lot of work this season. Remember Shonn Greene? Think along those terms imo. The problem, of course, is your TE situation. Still, you could do worse than that combo. I'd be willing to bet there's a better backup QB out there, though! Kaep is going to have a shittastic season in that offense.

:lol: I swear I didn't go into it with homer goggles, it just kinda ended up that way. I know it looks bad :)

And yeah, you are correct...TE is my point of weakness. I am so mad, I wanted Bennett in the worst way and would have capped this team pretty nicely. Maybe I can swing a trade. Regarding Kaep, I'm going to need to drop him because by that point I was pretty lit and didn't realize him and Matty Ice have the same bye week :v:

Are any of these FA TE's worth picking up over Orange Julius? He was a flier I took, I figured he had a lot of upside. Fleener, Miller, Clay, Rivera, Reed, Wright. I'll probably drop Kaep for Carr.

Miller is probably gonna do pretty well but I wouldn't trust any of the others unless you have some sort of optimism regarding the Skins offense. But keep what you have, Miller is the only real chance at an upgrade and not a good one at that.

e: Also, I'm surprised to see a Falcons fan pick up Freeman. I thought the consensus there was that Coleman was going to be the guy after the first month.

Understood.

The Falcons backfield is going to be an odd one, and I think Freeman fits the scheme better. Also, TC is a rookie, so I don't know how much work he will see at least in the first few weeks. They were both out there for the taking, but in a PPR league, and from what I THINK will happen this year, Freeman seemed like the safer play. I could be wrong, but that's my line of thinking. Don't forget Antone Smith either, he has earned reps as well.

Metapod, was thinking the same. None of those really appeal to me.

RE: week 1 defenses - Bengals are good shout, seeing as they are playing Oakland and Derek Carr still looks pretty mediocre. Amari Cooper is obviously a threat, but Carr has throw 2 INTs and no TDs this preseason so I'm confident playing them against him.

Also, Tom Brady is a free man, so all the Pats WRs just got a major boost (Gronk too I guess, but he was already way up there).

I just had a draft, and I need to drop 2 players before the season to pick up a kicker and defense. I went a little out of my box with this one trying to get players I like, but dont get because of other guys in their ADP range. Help me out goons, who should I drop before kick off?

I'm thinking Palmer, and one of Vereen, Crow, or Wright. I picked 7th in a 10 team, yahoo standard settings.

Do you have anyone else to drop? In PPR, I think you could easily start or flex both Sproles and Mathews on any given week.

Although 10 man league, so

A pick in the top 40 for Brady or any QB after the top 3 is too early.

I took Roethlisberger pick 70, 6th round in a 12 team and was pretty happy with the value.
