    Bench - Carlos Hyde (10th)
    Bench - Ladarius Green (11th)
    Bench - Josh Gordon (12th) - dropped him after suspension finalized and picked up Kelvin Benjamin
    Obviously, not very many intelligent people in your league if Montee Ball lasted until the 3rd round.

    Unreal top 3 rounds...Ball went 9th/11th/15th in my 3 leagues. Incredible steal, could literally win the league with your top 3 guys lol.
  • Iliketurtles
    Ball went 20th in mine but yeah getting him with pick 24 is crazy. You're first 3 rounds are awesome. Really nice team.

    Pick 28, but still crazy.
  • slingshot4ever
    I thought about taking him in 2nd round, but was worried about junk being available at receiver for a 3rd round pick and I didn;t want to take a QB that early.

    Well I learned I don't care for individual D players.
  • sportchampps
    Haha I Love IDP who did you have Earl Thomas
  • bigdaddy2003
    I didn't have anyone. A guy in my leagues has Bobby Wagner for Seattle. He had like 15 tackles and no points.

    How many teams are in this league Classy?
    10 and it's not like I picked any receivers, I picked the best there is
  • Laley23
    10 teams!!! Holy Christ on a bike, that's the worst 10 team league team I've ever seen. I'd be shocked if you finished higher than 8th without some great midsession mannaging.
  • Iliketurtles
    LOL I had a feeling it was 10 teams too. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. Definitely the worst 10 team I've ever seen. Hopefully you're not playing for money Classy. Enjoy being the Ruxin.

    No offense, but that might be one of the worst teams in a 10 team league I've seen.

    Andre Ellington already causing me stress.

    Yeah I hate it too. I didn't even risk it this week and benched him for Wayne do not feel about it. Started out the season 1-0 already tho!
  • jmog
    Ellington is my backup RB to ADP and Murray, but I truly thought with our league being PPR he would pass Murray within a few weeks...probably not now.

    I won easily this week with Matt Ryan and AJ Green. Murray had a good game too.
  • TBone14
    I went against Matt Ryan, Jay Cutler and Vernon Davis and hold a 30 point leading heading into tonight. He has Michael Floyd and I am done. He started Zac Stacy and Bernard Pierce at RB which was huge for me.

    Other league, I am up 28.1 but the other guys have Calvin and Keenan Allen. Likely a loser there.
  • SportsAndLady
    I'm up 24 and have Arizona D and either Ellington or Dwyer. He has Malcolm Floyd and Danny woodhead.
  • Classyposter58
    Worst team ever is up 12 with Rivers, Bush and Johnson to go. Here's why RB's aren't what they used to be, because the ball is hardly ran anymore. Guy had Jamaal Charles, Doug Martin and Alfred Morris who combined for roughly 14 points while AJ Green alone had 20. Spiller and Bush are pretty good rushers and good receivers out of the backfield but that Green/Johnson combo is lethal

    I'm ahead of the curve folks. Seriously it's all about the WR's anymore and maybe a few RB's. Buffalo is one of the few teams which are more run and Bush in a dynamic offense will not only run a bit but catch quite a bit as well
  • lhslep134
    Classy is that dumbass everyone has in their league who overreacts to every single week's outcomes and inevitably ends up making some extremely dumb add/drop moves

    Curve? I've been on WR's for the last 4 years now. I don't think you going WR/WR is bad just what you did after that I think is terrible.

    You should win. Do defenses score many points in your league? That RB situation in Zona isn't good with that Ellington injury.

    If Floyd and Woodhead have great nights, they could get 40 total (assuming PPR). You would just need 16 from the Zona D and their RB and that is really a worst case scenario.

    Thanks, I'm hoping so. Matthew berry had Arizona D in his hate category so I'm a little worried. Although SD's offense is good but it's not 35 PPG good, moreso efficient.

    I see Floyd having a big night though.

    Peyton could have put my opponent out of his misery but decided to score 2 points in the second half. Or else I wouldn't be at all worried.

    Oh and yes standard scoring for defense. Nothing crazy.

    Here's the deal. If you played in a league (like mine) where the lineup is nearly 100% flex (meaning you could go 5 WRs and no RBs) you would be correct.

    However, in regular leagues you HAVE to start a minimum of 2 RBs. The point differential between a 2nd rd WR and a 4th rd WR is not that big. The point differential between a 2nd round RB and a 4th rd RB is astronomical.

    That is why you draft RBs early (at least 1 in the first 2 rounds, and 2 in the first 4), not because RBs will outscore your WRs or QBs, but because the difference in a 1st rd and 4th rd RB is huge but not so for QB/WR. There are SO MANY startable QBs and WRs, but hardly any startable RBs in fantasy football anymore.

    I thought you said your team was in a 10 team league? If it is then you will definitely struggle this season. However, you just said 12 team. I stand by my earlier comment that your team is not bad for a 12 teamer (not good, but not bad) but horrible for a 10 team league.
