Title: Representin' the Grid against the "experts" again
Post by StegRock on Jul 31st, 2006, 1:40am
Everybody, this thread is to give you guys, my esteemed colleagues here on "the Gridiron", the opportunity to give me input/advice on my picks in JYJ's Drunken Pirate Slapfight Experts League - Year Two.  Sometimes I will explicitly ask for help (as I did at times last year; here is a link to last year's thread:  http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=55;action=display;num=1126212364), but FEEL FREE to follow the draft and give me your thoughts on who you think I should take as my picks roll around.  Or, at least, FEEL FREE to comment on my picks after I make them or how "the Gridiron @FantasyFootballer.com" team is developing. [smiley=cheerleader.gif]

AGAIN, THIS THREAD IS FOR COMMENTARY RELATING SPECIFICALLY TO MY SQUAD, THE TEAM REPRESENTIN' "the Gridiron"!!!  If you want to comment more generally on the league OR on OTHER teams, PLEASE go to this thread "between the 20's":  http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=56;action=display;num=1154323378.

The league site where you can follow the draft is located here:  http://football24.myfantasyleague.com/2006/home/13471.

Upon further review,... (like as in the CBFL Draft (http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=54;action=display;num=1152842659)) there is no choice at the #10 hole!  Not a bad choice to have to make, though!  QB Peyton Manning is manning "the Gridiron" ship, boyz and girlz!!!

A good pick at the #10 hole.  You posted and picked before I got a chance to review things... I would have offered my opinion.  

Just didn't want you to think that you were being ignored.  ;)

Really, thank you!

...

It really does seem like with the running backs that will still be available when it comes back to me/the #10 pick in a 12-team league, there REALLY is NO choice...  It would really be interesting to see how often Peyton is going at the #10 spot in 12-team mock drafts and drafts around the net/that you know of.  Anybody have any data on this?

Steg--

I can tell you that Antsports(which is a mock draft site) has Peyton going around 16th on AVERAGE.  Most leagues just have MASSIVE runs on RBs for the first 13 picks or so.  

With that being said, I think Manning is a good pick, as long as you can get a quality RB with your next pick. Besides, I think there will still be a quality back left for your 3rd round pick too....   (and Dayne most likely will be around for you to take in a later round)

Check out http://www.antsports.com/. This website hosts mock drafts, tallies the results, and gives you the overall average draft position for each player. The scoring and roster configurations won't match up exactly, but it will give you a good idea of what other people are thinking.

It would be sweet if some of the guys still to pick before your second rounder are enamored with Steve Smith or Terrell Owens or the like and let a certain Ram RB slide your way. In any event, one of either Caddy Williams or Brian Westbrook should still be sitting there for your next go-round, assuming you're looking RB in round 2.

Fellas, if not SJ, it'll be Double D or Double J...  Whatchyas think???  I'll be back in a few... [smiley=tired.gif] ... [smiley=sleepers.gif] In fact, the old Stegger just woke up for a pee... [smiley=peedog.gif]
Title: Re: Representin' the Grid against the "experts" ag
Post by Philly on Aug 1st, 2006, 9:20am
SJax is gone, as is the Cadillac.  I'm wary of JJ, as I think Tuna likes Barber and will split carries between the two. JJ also is a bit fragile and that's not what you want in your #1 back.  DD also has injury issues, but I like him better than JJ. He won't share carries and the Houston offense should be a bit better than last year. My only concern there is that Houston has a brutal schedule and I wouldn't be surprised if they had one win (TEN) or less heading into week 11 vs. BUF. Losing teams tend to throw more than run, although DD is valuable as a receiver as well.

I kind of like Westbrook this year. He has his injury issues, but all of his injuries have been little nagging things -- bruised ribs, sprained ankle -- and nothing of the major variety. The Eagles will also run the ball a bit more and he's the best receiving back in the game. He's been using the same trainer this off-season that Tiki Barber uses in hopes of avoiding those little nagging injuries.

Another guy I like at this pick is Willie Parker, although he won't gather the TDs of the other guys. He'll probably have more than 2005, without the Bus around, but Duce will take a few more of those goal-line carries.  The same could be said of Warrick Dunn. He'll flourish with the Atlanta offense again, but TDs are a bit too infrequent and he's a much better #2 FF back.

How would you feel about rolling the dice and not drafting RB here...? Steve Smith is still available...
Title: Re: Representin' the Grid against the "experts" ag
Post by gridiron_legends on Aug 1st, 2006, 11:01am
I agree with Philly about DD vs. JJ.  JJ is just too unpredicable in his output, whereas DD is bound to get the touches.  

Oh, I just looked at your pick and saw that you took DD.  Sweet.

Pick is a bit of a ways off yet, but you leaning any specific way on your pick Steg?   I don't want to name names here yet, as we've invited the "competition" to this thread.   I see a nice pick looming though.

Well, cp,... first off, it's actually the other thread "between the 20's" that is the "general discussion/commentary" thread,... but that thing's flyin' like a lead sinker.  These guys don't want to post here this year,... God forbid... :-X That having been said, EVERYBODY, of course, has access to this thread, so... [smiley=secret.gif]

Anyway, on to substance,... while I LOVE Benson and Dayne as you guys know, I can't believe they went off the board before... ??? As far as this GREAT pick you are thinking of,... I don't know...  There are a few really good picks (based on that aforementioned development).  I am considering a "screw you guys" QB pick with my next one. ;) What are you thinking?

who you lookin at now Steg?  I'm liking Housh.  But Gonzo is decent value here too.  Lots a decent TEs left though.
Title: Re: Representin' the Grid against the "experts" ag
Post by StegRock on Aug 2nd, 2006, 10:15pm
Gonzalez or Gore, who I think is the ABSOLUTELY LAST RB "worth it", on the board???  Any help...

Title: Re: Representin' the Grid against the "experts" ag
Post by captainpurple on Aug 2nd, 2006, 10:24pm
I'd go with Gore.  We're getting heavy at RB, but he's a nice RB at this stage.

Though I still like Housh    [smiley=deadhorse.gif]
Title: Re: Representin' the Grid against the "experts" ag
Post by StegRock on Aug 2nd, 2006, 10:32pm
Went with Gonzo, actually!  I didn't want to add to the guessing game.  I believe there is a BIG difference between Gonzo, Gates and maybe one other guy who we don't know right now and the rest of the 650-to-800 yarders, which means week-in-week-out guessing.  Gore would just have added to the juggling act at RB, and there are some handcuffs I still should be considering later in the draft.  Don't want to go the route of seven running backs and Dallas Clark or Ben Watson as my #1 TE, not when I can get receiver-like numbers out of Gonzo.  As for Housh, I gotta BUNCH of guys ranked ahead of him still.  My fantasy experience has taught me that the position at which there is most disagreement in fantasy football is WR.  I've still got two guys in my teens left on my board for this draft.  Receiver picks are always the ones I'm looking all over my list to find and crossing out up here and then down there and then up here and then down there, whereas RB's, pretty much go down in order.  I must admit, though, that QB's this year are a bit weird.  I WILL take a "fuck you" quarterback here soon!!!

Post by StegRock on Aug 4th, 2006, 12:25am
Thank you, Markie...  Like that analysis over there, huh? [smiley=laugh.gif]

I'm quite happy with the Glenn pick.  This was the FIRST pick, though, for which I did not take the guy I have ranked the highest (at a position, that is).  I actually have one other receiver ranked higher, the "teeny bopper", in fact, i.e., if you haven't clued in, I have him ranked in the TEENS.  There were two reasons for this...  Not that anything is a given at this point, but the windows, as I like to put it, on the "teeny bopper" are pretty wide-open.  I felt like, get this, Glenn was the safer pick, and I don't have him ranked much behind the other guy, in any event.  Secondly, I felt like the "teeny bopper" had a better chance of making it (all the way) back around to me, and, so far, that is holding. [smiley=fingerscrossed.gif] I'm hoping I can pull another "Frank Gore" here.  We'll have to wait and see... [smiley=checkin.gif]
Title: Re: Representin' the Grid against the "experts" ag
Post by StegRock on Aug 4th, 2006, 2:35pm
Well,... I see my teeny bopper went during this come-around... :-/ My #'s 22 and 23 are still on the board, though,... and, actually, I may pull another one of those take the lower guy moves... even though I just got a little burned here taking my #21 over my #17 last round.  Like Glenn, though, I think my #23 is a "safer" bet than my #22, and given my frail receiving corps, I need to play this close to the vest.  ...  Oh, well...  I guess I can't wake up every morning to a treat like Gore in the 7th! ;)

Anyway, I'm up soon...  Whatchyas thinkin'???

It's funny...  At this point, given the make-up of my team and my receiving corps in particular, Hines Ward and Terry Glenn,  I kind of know the kind of guy I need to add, and, as such, on the list of receivers I have left I have about four and they're all scattered about.  They are #'s 23, 27, 42 and 46.  The guy I have ranked #22, I think, is WAY TOO risky... for me to be taking. [smiley=thinking.gif] This one's gonna be rough...  I'm glad JYJ is holding things up right now.  I'm toiling...  This is actually a rough patch here...  He probably is, too.

I'll put up here what I put up there regarding my pick of Stallworth...

I am not all too high on this pick (of Stallworth).  I REALLY wanted K-Rob (he was the teeny bopper, cp) and thought he would make it back around to me. [smiley=no.gif] I was actually considering going in various different directions with this pick (because, for whatever reason, I felt ill about taking him here despite the fact that I have him ranked #23)... until I looked at his weekly breakdowns from '05.  He showed consistency, only 3 REALLY CLUNKER games, one in which he had 0 catches, and 2 40-yard, no-TD icky ones, but after that, the other 11 were alright... "fieldable", five of which were excellent.  BUT, we'll see...  LOTS of "x-factors"...

Thoughts, fellas???

I like Stallworth.  He was relatively consistant last year and the numbers he posts this year will only be better with Brees throwing to him.  I think he is a great sleeper pick.  He could post nice dividends........

Well,... I finally have gone "mad"... [smiley=gonecrazy.gif] ... [smiley=madashell.gif] and did,... here in the 10th round...

Here's the analysis on this pick of mine I put up over there:

Well, I hate to go "defense" here, but it was either be at the beginning of the run (of D's) or the tail end of a tier (of QB's), which are the two ideal circumstances in FF.  I don't want to have invested a first-round pick in Peyton Manning, the 10th overall, only to get beat in Week ??? by a 300-yard, 3-TD game by Kurt Warner, who was taken in the 10th ROUND or beyond, and perhaps watch that team ride the Warner wave to the top of the league.  I know that this scenario was, AT LEAST, in the back of the minds of a few of the owners who either don't have a QB yet OR have taken a VERY risky one as their "#1".  E.g., a Culpepper or a McNabb + a Warner (late in the draft) might not be too far off from a P. Manning.  Some of you who NEED a QB or back-up QB HAD TO be thinking about taking Warner sometime soon...  Well, NOT today... or tomorrow... or Sunday,... NOT in this league!  I have Warner being the last of the current tier of potential regularly-producing 300-yarders.  To be absolutely honest, I actually have one guy ranked ahead of Warner... "overall"/"all things considered".  Warner I have ranked #10 "overall".  But, with Manning "that guy" doesn't scare me AT ALL.  The last one left that does, i.e. the last one left that can produce HUGE fantasy numbers, and would be especially effective if paired up with another solid QB is Warner.  Granted, I don't like their recent loss on the O-line, but I LOVE Leinart's holdout and Edge comin' in.  At any rate, I'd rather have him rot on my bench than be on another roster (moreover, with another quality QB).

Yo Steg!   We're up!   Don't tell me your doing something like sleeping!  What is it....5AM there right now?    ;)


So what do you think about taking Hank Baskett here?   I LOVED it when the Vikes signed him as a UFA.   HATED it when we shipped him off to Philly for some 5th string WR.

He's got a lot of upside, is getting a lot of camp buzz too.    [smiley=idontknow.gif]

Well, I never saw the game last night, but the "buzz" I've been reading about is because the WR's that "will" be playing come the regular season are a little banged up.   Therefore, is your buzz about Baskett.

The main reason that trade was made, pretty much a network factor so McMullen can give the low-down about the WCO Childress is bringing in, what would Baskett know about it, it isn't like we traded away Randy Moss, ooooohhh wait, we did that. :-X

I saw the game, and while it's tough to make a call on someone based on a preseason game, he didn't look outmatched at the NFL level as some of the preseason scrubs do.  

I was also in NM most of last year and got to see him play.  He really did look good, though against NMState   ::)


I have a hard time believing the likes of Pinkston will keep Baskett off the field all year.  I'd be really suprised if he didn't crack the lineup on 3 WR sets by mid season.  

Philly, am I too optimistic on him?

You probably are too optimistic, but......

I would not draft a 3rd string WR when a #2 could be had.........  I would even take a chance on someone from Atlanta before taking Baskett.  If Baskett performs, he will be a midseason pick up.....

I agree with my esteemed colleague, DirkDiggler, on this one. I am a big fan of Hank Baskett and was surprised to see him go undrafted (poor 40 time and lackluster Sr. Bowl did him in). I was very pleased when the Eagles traded for him (though I didn't think he'd make the squad -- figured it was a $$ decision by the Eagles).

Baskett is getting a lot of time with the #1s (because Pinkston isn't practicing and Avant missed some time too) and has really looked good. He looked good in limited time in the pre-season game too.

When it's all said and done, he'll be the #4 WR at best. That's not a good position for FF production. If Pinky isn't healthy he could move up and be a decent FA pickup during the season, but I don't think he's draftable right now.

Alright,...  I'm really going to let you guys take part in my last two picks...  Just to get this out there...  I'm not taking this Baskett case... ;) Here are the guys I am considering (position-by-position, roughly in the order given):  RB's Travis Henry, William Green (I just don't really believe in Droughns and Suggs), Cedric Houston (given the injury news regarding Martin), Duce Staley, Adrian Peterson and Mike Bell (given this late-breaking news about him as per the "Broncos Offseason Report" thread); WR's Michael Jenkins, Reggie Williams (especially since I already have Wilford), Eric Parker, Santonio Holmes, Chad Jackson (given the Branch holdout), Ashley Lelie and Mike Williams.  OR, should I make sure to take an extra TE and PK?  The only reason I ask that is because I believe I have a VERY solid team right now up and down (my starters and immediate back-ups are pretty much set in stone), as I did last year, but I don't want to find myself in a juggling act at TE and PK like I found myself in last year at D/ST and PK when I only drafted one of each.  Last year, the weeks immediately after the ones I dropped the Redskins and Jason Elam, they were snagged by other teams, and I struggled at those two positions the rest of the way.  I know these are the lesser positions, but, when you are battling at the very top and the differences are slight, which was the case for me last year, every single point matters and you need to get the most out of your STARTERS (trading in this league is rare), and that juggling act, I believe, was costly.

NO NO NO!!!!

He is trying to sell Bell high.  We all know Bell will probably not be the starter at the beginning of the year.   And Janikowski is a kicker. Meaningless.   So, lets take them out of the equation.

So, you are looking at McNabb vs. Manning.   No brainer to decline this.....

Does he really think you are dumb enough to do that deal?  How does he even think he can get a first round pick for that?  (maybe he thinks you are not an 'expert') ;)

That's a real nice way to invite a response.  [smiley=annoyed.gif] I thought this issue was dropped given its nature, but you seem to want to keep it going.  [smiley=stilldunno.gif]

Anyway... I wouldn't do the deal. As much as I like McNabb, he's no Manning (which is why we went in the 5th instead of the 1st). Manning can carry a team by himself. Ultimately, FFXtreme is going to have to start waiving backs at some point just to grab a D and a K. I wouldn't be surprised if Bell is on the WW before long.

NOT to him, though...  He doesn't have a kicker (or a defense),... and what's left isn't so good.  These are the little details that often slip between the cracks, but that make the difference between a good fantasy footballer and a REALLY good fantasy footballer.  (Recall...  I protected Mike Vanderjagt in the GBRFL one year...  I won it the next!)  In this trade, he goes from having to deal with a kicking juggling act to, what I believe to be (and he too, I suppose), a solid kicker.  So, while I, of course, ultimately agree(d) with your conclusion, it's important to recognize the "whole" of the deal, which includes a "sneaky" play, seamless to most, that could come into play if push comes to shove coming down the wire.  That said, I don't think his team as it stands is good enough to be "coming down to the wire" with mine. ;D ... ;)

Post by Chumpzilla on Sep 23rd, 2006, 7:49am
Steg,

I think I'd go with Manning at QB. First, I would probably start him every week regardles of match-up.  Second, I think ground yards may be hard to come by and the Colts may keep it in the air.

I think I'd go with Dunn at RB.  Philly's defense, while banged up, will be hungry after last week and this game may end up being won through the air.  While Taylor has looked good so far, I have a "gut" feeling he's gonna be marginal vs Colts.  Also, if Indy jumps to a quick lead, JAC may have to lean on Jones/Wilford/Williams in the air.

i think chumpzilla is right on target![smiley=thumbsup.gif]  though warner may at times out score manning, peyton should give you solid numbers week in and week out.

the eagles defense will be a real test for the 49ers and gore.  taylor looked really good against the steelers, but may not get as many carries.  i think dunn will be "off the hook" at the superdome.  

anyway, those are all are great choices to have....your draft was spot on.  i see clear sailing ahead for the Gridiron .[smiley=sailin.gif]   good luck!

I think Manning will have more problems against the Jags' pass D than Warner will have against the Rams pass D.  

Although the Rams' run D is an easier target than the pass D and the Cards may put the mileage on James, the Jags' have a tough run D as well as a tough pass D, so the Colts should have a tough day all around.  

I'd look at the pass D's here and play Warner.

This may be exactly what you said on Steg's List for all I know.  I think I should pony up and join.  Then I'd know things like that!  ;D

Tony Gonzalez @ Pittsburgh

or (do I roll my dice on...)

Jerramy Stevens (returning this week) @ St. Louis
Title: Re: Representin' the Grid against the "experts" ag
Post by Callie on Oct 14th, 2006, 6:07pm
Wow.  That's tough in some ways but a good postion to be in.

Tony plays a secondary that can be had, and Jerramy is just back but has a shoot-out and a QB he knows well.

As you know, I like Stevens, but how can anyone bench Gonzalez?  Johnson probably won't be at his best, and PIT is good against the run.  So the Chiefs will probably go to the air a lot, and the Steeler pass D isn't the best.  The question is will Gonzo be so covered that others get the passes?

If it's about coaching stragegy, I go with Stevens.  But I can't recommend benching Gonzalez.  I'd go with Tony in this game due to the fact that he's...Tony, but I'd hate it.

Report out of Seattle is that Stevens will be limited to about 30 plays.  Granted, he could get a TD in those thirty plays, but I would go with Gonzalez.
Title: Re: Representin' the Grid against the "experts" ag
Post by Oakland4life on Oct 14th, 2006, 8:03pm
Svitek is still out, and Turly is probable.  Which Im thinking is probably out.  Gonzo is going to be stuck on blocking duty this week.  So I really wouldn't expect a whole lot of production from Gonzo at all this week.  Especially if they are going to run.  Theres no way they can take Larry on the inside, its going to have to be outside, and that means Gonzo is sweeping on blocking duty.

I still say start Gonzo if Stevens is your only other option.  But, if Stevens can get good numbers on only 20-30 plays, then I might start him next week over Gonzo when the Chiefs will be facing the Chargers.

Good Luck   [smiley=fingerscrossed.gif]

Well, it's a new dawn...  We'll see how I muck out this week after "tossing the salad" ;) a little bit and cutting a deal... [smiley=deal.gif] Feel free to lay your thoughts on the deal on me if you so choose...

You can see the trade about 5 or so down there.

Nary a comment...  I thought someone was going to step up and let me have it.  Trust me...  It was NOT easy movin' Gore last week.  On the other hand, no kudos, either.  I guess the proof will be in the pudding, huh?
