Fantasy Football 2011: Jumping the Gun

[Chrius]

Joined auction since I didn't renew my own auction league - better be sure to leave work at 5 tomorrow.

Regardless of Vick being injury prone or not, he will get injured this year against the Redskins. It's going to happen -- they always injure people.

Even themselves (first thing that popped in my head when I read this)

[Zounder]

Is it at all possible to get BG Auction pushed back to 8:00 EST or later? Otherwise I'll have to drop out, since there's no way I'm autopicking in an auction. (No crazy Michael bush bids for me!)

[Ferion]

just ask Troy Aikmen!

and Vick has had two big injuries in his career. Broken Leg in 03' pre-season and last year's ribs. Otherwise he plays through them pretty well. People have been acting like he is glass.

Hasn't Vick only ever played through a full season once in his entire career?

[Cail]

Valisk told me you guys were looking for more people for auction draft...I will, if you want me!

Cail:

Wed, 5:45 central for the auction redraft. Any issues?

5:45C was as late as I could get, and I got it by sitting there refreshing the page when people happened to have canceled their drafts. Currently the only things that are available are earlier, but I'll keep trying.

Thanks, hope it works.

15+ games in 4 of the 6 seasons he was the full time starter isn't too bad. He's not Brett Favre or Peyton in terms of durability but he isn't Matt Stafford or Bob Sanders either.

But I thought I was going to be the star...

Is this the correct spot to ask about fantasy questions for my specific team? Just curious, it's my first time around doing a fantasy draft.

Yes, go ahead.

No, don't keep trying. 14-man auction drafts take a long time. I don't want to be sitting there after midnight still drafting when I have to be at work at 7 the next morning. 6:45 est is perfect time-wise. We currently have 13 participants anyway, so someone will need to drop or join before it starts.

[Cail]

I'll drop should it stay at 13, since i was last to join

[volcanicweather]

I took the last spot in auction, will be home right as the draft starts as long as traffic isn't bad.

[Zounder]

There will be more one spot since I have to drop out since I can't be there at 6.45 EST. Man, I guess I shouldn't have pushed for a redraft after all. >_>

Well here's my question. J. Finley is a questionable because of his ankle, and I don't have a backup TE, should I drop one of my WR's, in the off chance that he doesnt start, or wait it out? Also, do you see Sidney Rice/A. Boldin being a better choice than Reggie Wayne without Manning?

Here's my lineup

QB A. Rodgers
RB A. Foster
RB L. Blount
Flex James Starks
WR M. Wallace
WR R. Wayne
TE J. Finley
D Steelers
K Neil Rackers

Bench

A. Boldin WR
R. Bush RB
Big Ben QB
S. Rice WR
S. Smith WR

The best TE's I have available are Mercedes Lewis, Chris Cooley, T. Gonzalez, Rob Gronkowski, Jermaine Gresham.

Also looking at the projections, starks is only projected to get a littleunder 4 points, whereas Boldin and Bush are projected to get 14-16ish, despite Starks being the better pick. Probably because of Ryan Grant. Im debating on using starks until I can tell which RB Green Bay is going to go to more often.

They said they were going to try to do an even split of carries on Thursday for the GB backs, so I'd sit them for the first week regardless. As to the TE situation, Finley is going to start, so that shouldn't be a worry. Which Steve Smith is that? If it's the Philly one, I wouldn't have him taking up a roster spot this early in the season, so if you had to drop one it'd be him (it would be the other Steve Smith too, but only if you'll definitely need another TE).

And I probably wouldn't sit Wayne given the match-ups/injuries for the others. He's probably the least questionable between him and the bench WRs, but that's an opinion mostly

[Tyche]

I'd honestly play Boldin over Wayne this week. Baltimore isn't going to be able to run, they're going to have to throw it, and Boldin is their best option.

And yeah, Finley will start.

Guy in Volc's league throwing a shit fit now because we vetoed him trading Ryan for Amendola. Shits hurting my brain.
