do my wide receivers look weak to you?
I missed my auction draft sadly and here is my team Fitzpatrick Colston Bowe Lloyd Lynch Greene Finley Bradford Hanson Phil Def
Bench Celek Hillis J Rodgers T. Smith D. Moore Someone has Schaub P. Manning and stafford and would trade one Schaub or manning for Lloyd. Which woud be a fair move and do you have any other suggestions
Whats up muntra let’s kick off this season right!!!! Just had my draft and followed your rankings closely, team looks like this.
Brady
Murray, mcgahee
Marshall, colston, Wayne
Pettigrew, giants d, falcons kicker,
Defensive players- Eric berry, Trent cole, ray Lewis,
notable bench – beanie wells, Nate Washington, mike Williams (tb), amendola
Any thoughts or suggestions? And who would you start at flex?
Thanks muntra
Was actually out when my draft happened, and wanted to see what your opinion of my autopick draft came out to be:
QB Tom Brady
WR Antonio Brown
WR Stevie Johnson
WR Marques Colston
RB Ryan Mathews
RB Adrian Peterson
TE Rob Gronkowski
K Mason Crosby
DEF Eagles
Bench
RB Donald Brown
WR Darrius Heyward-Bey
WR Mike Williams
TE Jacob Tamme
QB Josh Freeman
K Nate Kaeding
I definitely thought I made out alright with this, and my first thought was to get more weapons on the RB side of things, so what I did was put in waivers:
RB Jacquizz Rodgers for K Nate Kaeding
RB Michael Bush for RB Donald Brown
And I also threw up a trade offer to get Pats K to match with Brady. Trading just Mason Crosby, who knows if the guy will go for that though.
Any thoughts, tips, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance
Followed your advice on a lot of guys, hopefully it pays off.
Forte I know you don’t like, I went for in the 3rd (1 player keeper so really the 4th). in 10 team league. .I just couldn’t pass him up then and knew I was going to be able to get Willis and Cedric later.
DEF i was planning to go WW route but Houston wasn’t taken by the time everyone had a DEF so i grabbed them.
QB Brees , Wilson
RB McFadden, Forte, Mcgahee, Rodgers, Benson
WR Cruz, Marshall, Blackmon, Floyd, Titus Young
TE Pettigrew, Olsen
K Hartlee
DEF HOU
JC thanks for the kind words.
Your WR core definitely has come wholes, everything else is very solid especially your depth at RB/QB.
You can look at my weekly rankings and figure out what to do, but for now continue to roll the dice and hope Kenny Britt saves your squad.

You were lucky to get JacQuizz on auto-auction.
I would definitely make a move for Schaub. If you can manage to get Schaub for JacQuizz and Torrey Smith, you would be a lot better off. Lloyd is an important part of your team, the other two are solid highly coveted bench players.

DropDimes Lets do it like We did in Basketball. Glad to see you back in the Dome.
You can check my Week 1 Rankings for lineup suggestions. Right now the obvious is Nate Washington.
Love the team, you are built for a dynasty type of season.
Let’s keep the championships rolling.

Shane aka FRACTIONS.
For whoever is reading this, Shane makes Beats you cannot resist, you will be hearing some of them soon!
Your team is strong, however you lack depth at RB and that is a problem as both AP and Mathews are likely out Week 1. Mathews definitely longer.
If you can get Quizz and Bush, your team would be saved however. Both should enter your lineup and you are ready to roll.
I would definitely go with DHB over Steve Johnson who will be on Revis Island all of Sunday.

Forte as late as you got him was an absolute steal.
I like the picks, I like your team, you should be ready to dominate this season.
Zero weaknesses.

Muntra, I stumbled on your blog about a week ago and was excited to read up on what you have to say. I liked your rankings- they are much different than Espn’s and I felt that I needed to shake things up a bit!
Care to give an opinion on my draft? I think its set up for League domination:
QB Matt Ryan, Jay Cutler
RB: RUN DMC, DeMarco Murray, Sproles, Benson, Beanie Wells
WR: Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall, Jermy Maclin, Percy Harvin
TE: Pettigrew (A steal in the 11th!)
LB: London Fletcher (Beast when Tackles are counted as pts as in my league)
D/ST: Falcons (accidently auto drafted here, can be fixed)
K: Matt Bryant (following your suggestion of pairing here)
My takeaways:
-Absolutely insane WR corps. I can hopefully easily trade some away if I need.
-RBs: I “reached” for DMC in R2 and Murray at 27th overall was a steal.
-I had the 7th pick and Rodgers/Breese/Brady, Foster, Rice, McCoy were taken. As much as I didn’t want to take WR because the class is so deep, I thought no one else was worth a First round pick and I knew DMC would be there as my second choice. I felt Calvin was an Easy choice there.
Thoughts? Do I need to change anything?
(PS ESPN has Ryan and Pettigrew so underrated its pathetic)
Thanks for the kind words Tim.
Love your team, it is stacked all-around. To have Benson as your #4 RB is huge, I view him as your #3.
WRS are very deep. Pettigrew that late is a steal. I would take Megatron where you did, the fact you came back with DMC was huge, essentially two 1st round picks.
I am competing against the ESPN Rankings every week on FantasyPros, including Matt Berry. Excited to see how my guys turn out, I like my chances.
Thanks man, I’ll be following you all this year. I won my league last year, but this time the stakes are higher (cash). I’ll keep you posted on how I do.
