So I thought this would be an interesting thread. How is everyone feeling about their teams right now? (Those who have drafted) I’m in an 8 person head to head league. Here’s what I have to work with at the start. QB: Drew Brees (NO), Josh Freeman (TB) I’m hoping Freeman will bounce back from last year, and V-Jax explodes in the NFC South. RB: Marshawn Lynch (SEA), Adrian Peterson (MIN), Ryan Mathews (SD), Doug Martin (TB) HUGE question mark. This is such a make or break for me it’s ridiculous. Hoping Lynch avoids suspension, Peterson and Mathews need to stay healthy. WR: Calvin Johnson (DET), Jordy Nelson (GB), Vincent Jackson (TB), Robert Meachem (SD) Forget the Madden Curse, Megatron will be back in full force. Nelson is still a top target for Rodgers. Meachem isn’t anything special, but he is still Rivers #1 Wideout. TE: Brandon Pettigrew (DET), Fred Jackson (WAS) Pettigrew is solid, hoping Jackson becomes a Red Zone target. K: Mason Crosby (GB) Need I say more on this guy? DEF: San Francisco, Seattle Showing some poor decision making here. This was my first year jumping on the fantasy train, and I would have been better off avoiding defenses in the draft. I love the idea of swapping them and playing match ups during the season, but I jumped the gun. Kickers seem like a viable position to choose for that as well. Hopefully I don’t get screwed… ---

I’m a fantasy noob too! We can share stories about how badly we suck! Or will that be just me? Here’s my team: 8-Team League: Ben Roethlisberger RGIII MJD Ryan Mathews Rashad Jennings Willis McGahee James Starks Beanie Wells Trent Richardson Steve Smith Marques Colston Reggie Wayne Matt Prater 49ers Defense I am trying to trade Starts, Wells, and RGIII based on advice given [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=661848). Right now I have a trade proposal for Mike Wallace. The trade will probably just sit and stagnate though because apparently three of our managers are absentee managers. :rolleyes: ---

Well I just called Fred Davis Fred Jackson, so I’m already on a path littered with fail haha. > [@Covered\_In\_Bees](#): > > I’m a fantasy noob too! We can share stories about how badly we suck!

Right now I have a trade proposal for Mike Wallace. The trade will probably just sit and stagnate though because apparently three of our managers are absentee managers. :rolleyes: Starks is looking like the Backup now, and likely to stay that way as long as Benson stays healthy, so it might not be a bad idea. If you can get something decent for Wells and RGIII go for it, but they aren’t the worst to have on your team. Arizona will likely be running a lot more, especially with questions as QB. RGIII is a rookie scrambler, but he was looking pretty sharp. Looks like a pretty decent lineup though. But you have a crap ton of RBs. No TEs? ---

I have Fred Davis on tight end, I must have skipped over him when looking at my team to write up my last post. I’d like one more WR because as you said, I have a crap ton of RBs, most of whom I’m decently happy with. ---

just my opinion, but it seems like NetTrekker drafted better in a 20-team league than Covered in Bees did in an 8 team league. My team in an 10-team league: Cam Newton Adrian Peterson Fred jackson Julio Jones Marques Colston Aaron Hernandez Desean Jackson Packers D Alex Henry (Philly) bench: Doug Martin Pierre Garcon Matt Schaub Pettigrew Steve Breaston Danny Amendola ! Schaub went in the 10th and I might end up starting him! ---

8 team league, 6 pts for a passing td, no ppr. QB: Tony Romo WR: Larry Fitzgerald WR: Andre Johnson WR: Mike Wallace RB: Arian Foster RB: Jamal Charles TE: Jimmy Graham R/W: Steven Jackson D: Philly K: Jason Hanson B: Miles Austin B: Reggie Wayne B: Reggie Bush B: Jonathan Stewart B: Seattle B: Andrew Luck I’m pretty pleased, although I think that maybe I should have picked Brees instead of Foster in the 1st round (it went Rodgers, Brady, Rice). ---
