not very good to be honest man. but its your first time so you'll only get better.

how many teams per league though? whats the scoring? that could make a huge difference in my judgement.

First league had 16 teams, and the other has 15 teams. And when you say whats the scoring, what exactly do you mean?

[markusjj85]

Not good at all.

Reggie Bush is horrible in any league that is non ppr. You have no #1 WR either.

Team 2 is somewhat better but almost all your receivers are either hurt or suspended.

that's different then. 15 and 16 teams is ALOT.

by scoring i wanna know how many points per td for a qb, is it a point per reception, etc...

I got bush extremely late in the draft. I am still speculating on starting him or not.

Also about the WR's. I picked them all two weeks ago before the injuries LOL, then I found out as I went that some are hurt, and that vincent jackson is not playing for a few weeks.

the problem with that is that bush is your legit 2nd best rb. thats bad news

I understand. I mean matthews and sproles are giong to be sharing the carries in SD, and Larry Johnson might get a good amount of running time also.

i was only talking about your first team since you were saying how u might bench reggie. but as far as your second team goes, you need a better flex, sproles isnt great for fantasy, and larry johnson sucks

Hopefulyl someone steps up for me on the first team lol..either Washington, or Bush having a great season (fantasy wise) would be an extreme plus.

[TheStigIsBig]

Also what exactly should I do picking wise for my third league? The draft is this weekend. Like what order should I pick in? It is a 10-12 person league I believe, not exactly sure yet.

lol, yeah that'd be great, but thats like me taking jamal lewis and saying "wow itd be awesome if he returned to 2003 form." Highly unlikely as seattle has a horrible running situation, and bush just isnt that kind of impact guy.

what do you mean what order should you pick in? I suggest doing alot of mock drafts and seeing who goes where. develop back up plans according to players that you want to try and team up

Like what do you pick usually? QB first or RB? I know it also depends on what pick I am going to be.

I usually do RB QB RB for my first three picks. Then go for the WR's. That a decent plan?

im with you, i hate receivers. they have to rely on someone else to get the ball to them which sucks.

I'm a rb guy myself so if there's a flex spot, im taking the best rb on the board all day. if i have a late pick 8-10, i try to get aaron rodgers or brees and pair them with a top rb.

Ok yeah that is what I did with these leagues. I had late picks in both of them, so I got shonn Greene for both (best rated running back avaliable lol), and then paired them with P. Manning, and B. Farve.

[EctoMorph_9]

shonn and peyton wasn't a bad deal, maybe could've gotten a better qb at that position but no big deal.

favre was a terrible 2nd pick and killed your team

How did he kill the team though? If he plays like he did last year, which I doubt he will because of rice being out (yes rice screwed me in both my leagues), then he would be money wouldn't he?

its all about efficiency with your picks. all qb's score a decent amount of points. so ya, he may score alot, but if you could've got him 4 rounds later it seems like a big waste of a pick right? there were far better options on the board when you picked favre, im sure of that, and i dont even know the draft results

[communistpanda]

if you can, try to pick up dexter mccluster from the chiefs for more rb depth.

There was...but I picked him third round now thinking about it. But looking at my picks, I can't see who I picked second round LOL..I got favre a round late I remember that.

[EctoMorph_9]

any way you could post the draft results for like the first 5 rounds?

[TheStigIsBig]

if you can, try to pick up dexter mccluster from the chiefs for more rb depth.

I should of picked dexter or even spiller now looking at it LOL. I think I am going to try and snatch spiller in the money league in the later rounds.

be careful not to wait too long on spiller, he's killin it in the preseason right now

You think for my third pick would be too late for him?

[EctoMorph_9]

too early

how many teams we talkin?

[TheStigIsBig]

too early

how many teams we talkin?

Right now there are 6...but 12 were sent invites i believe.

[EctoMorph_9]

yeah 3rd is way too early for spiller

[TheStigIsBig]

yeah 3rd is way too early for spiller

Sounds good to me. I will report back with my draft picks from this draft comming up this week.

Anyone else got any input?

If you want to improve, go to espn and sign up for their fantasy. They have probably 30-50 mock drafts going off every hour. Yea times there are some tards, but it gives you atleast a decent feel of where guys are going. And do yourself a favor, don't use some cheat sheet from a magaizine that is oudated by 3 months, find something current to use and make sure it uses a system of scoring simular to yours.
