The Paddock

Cheers Tommy, I liked it, I'm not high on Greene particularly either but I was with the 60th pick in the draft!

Had my other HCMC draft last night, which is 1/2 pt PPR

My starters look like this:

QB - Matt Stafford (there were nine QBs off the board in the first four rounds)
RB - Ray Rice
RB - Matt Forte
WR - Greg Jennings
WR - Dez Bryant
TE - Aaron Hernandez
WR/RB/TE Flex - Stevie Johnson
WR/RB/TE Flex - Mark Ingram
D/ST - Pats
K - Waiver wire

Bench - Santana, Tate, Sims-Walker, Cutler, Karim, Snelling, Denarius Moore

Had the no.2 pick, pretty happy with that roster in a 12 team 1/2 pt PPR league!

Some mad things happened though, Peyton Manning in the third, Malcolm Floyd in the 5th, Sanchez in the ninth, Jacoby Ford in the sixth, Witten in the third, Earnest Graham got drafted, it was nuts lol!

I have another scenario that I need some opinions on.

Stevie Johnson or Greg Jennings?

I have V Jaxson, Austin Miles, and Stevie.
He guy wants to trade Jennings for Stevie and a bench scrub. To me it's basically a push. I worry about Stevie now that Evans is gone, but with Finley back he will take away some carves from Jennings.

Please help me out fellas?!?

Jennings is always at risk to have his receptions split up about 4-5 guys, and with the TE being back for Green Bay, that diminishes his catches even more.

I think Stevie may be the better bet as of now.

Yeah, I wonder about those numbers sometimes. . . You never know what kind of leagues people are playing and a lot of times people just play there defense based on matchups. . . I guess maybe that 11% comes from Cowboy fans, lol. . .

Never mind, I was able to get Jennings and keep Stevie. Fellas, I have outdone myself. Maybe the mist impressive string of trades I've ever witnessed. I'm just gonna run thru my lineup and feel free to oohh and awww away. Lol...

T. Brady
R. White
V. Jackson
G. Jennings
A. Foster
L. McCoy
J. Witten
D. McFadden

Bench-
Dallas Clark
P. Burress
S. Rice
B. Green-Ellis
M. Sanchez
S. Johnson.

I have no idea how I pulled that off...wait...yes I do...I AM AWESOME. LOL

Another thing Tommy.... I look for Jordy Nelson to become a primary target, so between Finley and Nelson... I'm not sure Jennings numbers will be as good as they were last year. JMHO

6 teams. Lol. So!! Lmao

Some of my employees were trying to start a league. After I fired one (the commish) I got stuck with it. Lol. I wasn't going to take this one real serious and now I'm thinkin barring injuries...ima go undefeated. Lol

On the surface, yes. . .

lol, I'm mostly just messing with you. . . I think Jennings has another solid season. . . .like you said, I don't think he leads the league in catches, yards, or TD's, but still a good year.

I know!! This is my Christmas lol

Plus, we get to see Jennings play one hell of a game tonight ;)

lol. But no, in all seriousness, I've bounced ideas when it came to Jennings the past few years. Two years ago I drafted him high because he was supposed to take over for the aging Driver in that offense. But he and Rodgers didn't connect that season chemistry wise and he screwed me all year. Last year I avoided him because of it, and he put up great numbers. This year, I'm expecting Jennings to make it all up to me. If he doesn't, I"ll never have him on my team again. I don't care how promising his season looks in years coming. He'll be dead to me lol

Derek, I hate to share my secret but I will. Lol. I draft to trade. I will load up on one particular position such as WR. I may have 7-8 WRs which enables me to trade up to 3 very solid players in return for 1 really good player. I look for those teams that may have 1 great player at a position buy lack depth.
You wouldn't consider trading 1 guy projected for 15 ppg for 2 or 3 guys all projected for 10-12 ppg? You have to draft better in the late rounds, those rounds are the most important. And then finally, you have to really know your FA's and "diamonds in the rough" I actually put in some work with mock drafts, watching preseason games and doing some research. So there you go. Lol

I'm not sure about total fantasy points, but with Finley back (people forgot he is Rogers fav target especially in the redzone) that Stevie will have more targets and I think he could have more TD grabs a well. It will be really close IMO either way. It will be alot closet than people think.
