Definitely Hunter and Leshoure

That is currently what I have. Leshore is on the waiver, and i have first option at him. 12 team league, I believe Leshore will be the starter in Detroit by week 4. Kevin Smith will get hurt. Going to drop Ronnie brown for him.

So. My 12 team non PPR league decided to allow us a keeper this season. We get to keep one player from last season. It doesn't cost us a pick or anything but I'm still kind of torn.

The 3 players that I'm torn on from last season:

Jamaal Charles - He killed me last season when he got hurt.
Peyton Manning - Same
Calvin Johnson - He won me a few games almost by himself last season.

I usually go RB, RB in the first two rounds but I don't think I can pass on Megatron, especially with Jamaal coming back from a pretty nasty injury. I'm pretty sure Jamaal is out unless someone has seen something that could change my mind. And then we all know what Peyton can do IF healthy. I'm pretty sure I know who to go with but a little feedback would be cool for some reassurance.

Where do you pick? Throw Peyton out. He's not in the running. Way too big a risk, and if you want to take that risk you can get him in the 5th or 6th round. The question is, if you take Calvin or Charles, who do you think you can/will take with your 1st round pick, and which combo do you like better.

It's hard for me to imagine a pick where Calvin isn't the answer. Charles is a high 2nd round pick. A weak RB1. Calvin is a mid 1st round pick, the best WR in the draft. If they all cost you the same, you go Calvin then draft an RB that is as good or better than Charles. IMO anyway

So do I. Shockey is gone, Smith is the only other weapon and he's aging and dealing with a foot infection. I don't see Louis Murphy being a huge threat for the Panthers. I think Olsen has big sleeper potential with the lack of weapons in the passing game.

Hopefully I guessed right. I'm really liking my team (PPR) and think I did well for a 14 team league. We'll see...

Stafford, Ponder
McFadden, Murray, Hillis, Royster, Ryan Williams
Jordy Nelson, Dez Bryant, Torrey Smith, Greg Little, Danny Amendola
Greg Olsen
Robbie Gould
Buffalo

No debate, keep Megatron. You can find a better RB in round one than Charles, easily, and he might be there in round 2 to pick up again anyway.

And Manning is a wild card. Does he throw for 4500 yards and a bunch of TDs, or does his neck get tweaked on the first sack of the season?

Megatron is Megatron, he's as much of a sure thing for a WR as is possible.

12 team PPR league, passing TDs worth 4 pts and 5 QBs go in first round (3 in the first 5 picks). This is gonna be like taking candy from a baby

QB: Phillip Rivers, Matt Schaub
RB: Ray Rice, Doug Martin, Jonathan Stewart, Ryan Williams, Rashad Jennings, Jacquizz Rodgers
WR: Wes Welker, AJ Green, Pierre Garcon, Greg Little, Doug Baldwin
TE: Brandon Pettigrew, Kyle Rudolph
K: Robbie Gould
DEF: Seattle

Thoughts?

I apologize, I haven't read through all 13 pages... but does anybody know of a website with a great (free) PPR ranking list?

My draft is tomorrow and I don't know my drafting position yet but I don't think it matters. Like you both said, Megatron is the best bet. I just needed that reassurance I guess Lol. Thanks guys.

[jobaga]

just had a draft for a 10 team PPR

QB P Manning, Cutler
RB Rice, Charles, Richardson, Ridley
WR Green, Colston, Garcon, Britt, Baldwin, Hankerson
TE Finley, Fleener
DEF Chicago
K Hartley

I'm pretty happy with this team. This is my scond team, both have Manning and Cutler. If one of those two have a good year, I will have a good fantasy season...

[Maxito]

12 team h2d... Pretty happy with my wr, and qb. But RB not too sure about

QB. Brees, Bradford
RB: Reggie Bush, Ridley, and Charles
WR, Fitzgerald, Steve Smith, Dwayne Bowe,
TE: Greshaam, Heap
K: Crosby
DEF: Jets, Skins

Granted my commish just added another roster spot for RB, and WR... So have Hightower, and Reggie Wayne on the waiver wire..

[Skins4Life6388]

10 team non PPR, pass TD 4 points. Draft in a half hr. the commissioner sucks haha

all the reports from the 'experts' claim that Jamaal Charles is back. I also like Bowe playing for a contract...

[Skins4Life6388]

I've got 5th pick in a non PPR, 4 pts per pass TD 10 person league. Where should I draft 1st?

[jobaga]

I've got 5th pick in a non PPR, 4 pts per pass TD 10 person league. Where should I draft 1st?

assuming Foster, Rice, McCoy are the top 3. Either Calvin Johnson, Aaron Rodgers or Chris Johnson...it all depends on what position you value more. I would go Rodgers or one of the top 3 RBs if they fall

[Skins4Life6388]

I was thinking Rodgers or one of the three rbs if they luckily fall. I'm scared of Chris Johnsn. It'll prob be arod or megatron.

[Fight4RGIII]

Just found out I have the 8th pick in my 14 team fantasy draft next Sunday. I'm officially pumped. Usually, like most, I'll play in 2 or 3 but again like most, there is only one league I really care about. We don't play for money, just playing for bragging rights all year and throughout the season. It's more fun that way to us. But, we are considering making a crappy looking cheap trophy to pass along to the winners for the next few decades, unless football becomes too dangerous and extinct.
