Drafts are boring so I only do auctions. We got 200 to fill a 15 man roster. Here is my team along with what I spent on each player:

QB Peyton Manning, IND (42)
RB Marshawn Lynch, BUF. (49)
RB Ryan Grant, GB. (45)
WR Andre Johnson, HOU. (34)
WR WR Isaac Bruce, SF. (1)
TE Antonio Gates, SD (15)
WR/RB RB Kevin Faulk, NE
K Josh Scobee, JAX. (1)
DEF: ARIZONA CARDINALS
RES WR Kevin Curtis, PHI.
RES WR Anthony Gonzalez, IND. (1)
RES WR Matt Jones, JAX.
RES TE Bo Scafe, TE.
RES WR Kevin Walter, HOU.
RES BUFFALO BILLS

I didn't want manning or Johnson but got Johnson at a bargain price and Manning fell into my lap. Original plan was to have a guy like Cutler at QB and go weaker at WR, while adding a third top RB like Portis. I'm happy with the result. If injuries don't get me I could be ok. I also didn't want Gates and wanted Cooley instead, but got stuck with Gates.

[Sportsmack]

damn I can't wait til my draft!

[El Guapo]

You way overpaid for Lynch. Manning seems like good value. Actually scratch that...this is hard to know with out seeing what others went for.

Any way you can post how much others went for in this auction?

[Waffles2003]

once again u drafted RBs that dont catch the ball, u have no depth either...at least lynch is a workhorse and shouldnt miss many games.

Ted Ginn is still a very marginal receiver, u need to get some veterans WRs off the waiver and dump ur 3rd tier bench WRs

[DanielNegreanu]

Wides aren't that important in this league and I usually pick up WR's when necessary on the waiver wire when match ups are good. Lynch actually was projected by ESPN to be worth 52 and most other backs went for much more. For example, LT 78, Peterson 73, Westbrook 71, Gore 61, etc.

[runthemover]

without knowing how many teams there are (12?), what the scoring system is, and what the other teams look like, it's hard to say how well you did but I'll have to respectfully say, I don't like the look of your team. But, I've never done an auction draft so there's that caveat.

you do have a fairly solid three of Gates, Manning, and Johnson. I don't like your RBs at all though. I'm not saying your team is terrible, but doesn't look anything like a winner to me. You'll probably be in a fight for a playoff spot but that might be a stretch.

[tskillz187]

I actually like both of your RBs a lot. If I get Lynch and Grant in first and 2nd round I won't be upset, I won't be ecstatic, but it's not bad.

Sidney Rice and Ronald Curry > Ted Ginn IMO.

Edit: How does it work anyways? Are there still draft positions? I assume there are a few guys people would be willing to pay 1 for but since someone already bid 1 they weren't willing to bid 2. So I'm assuming it is still snake order of saying a player and then a $ amount willing to spend?

[El Guapo]

I'm lucky in my keeper I get to keep Petersen and Gore. And build from there.

OVERALL A GOOD AUCTION DANIEL.......

[r0llin_game]

ive got such a man crush on james hardy...

other than that i actually like the team, esp if its a 12 team league

[runthemover]

I said Cantu. I think NO and WAS are better this year than last. His flex is his weak spot but better than Daniel's by far. Harrison won't miss most of the season again so Gonzalez probably won't do much. A bargain at $1 though.

Postle's team is pretty good too and it's probably a toss up between this team and Cantu for first. Roy Williams (not Williamson) just needs to stay healthy and he's got two number one wideouts. McFadden could be the difference for this team. But, Parker and Young are why I put him second.

I voted Cantu as well, based on starters, but I don't like his depth much. If he can get through the season with few injuries I like his chances. I like Postle's depth a lot more, and would put him #1a based on that.

[Oziumrules]

Cantu has the best team...then Daniel.

[Waffles2003]

Mike Mcneil
Mike Postle

then its a wash between u and cantu

better luck next year

Wow, when did you become the guy who thinks he knows everything about fantasy football? Especially when you don't even know the scoring system lol! TD's are big, 100 yard rushing games are big... catches are less big. I'll bet you even that I finish money that my team finishes 3rd or better.

[Ron_Mexico]

So wait, you asked for opinions on who has the best team, without giving the scoring criteria or anything, Waffles gives an opinion, then you dog him for it? Ok, so you didn't really want the opinion, just validation. Good.

Please don't ban me. I was just pointing out the funny.

[DanielNegreanu]

It was just the "better luck next year" comment. That was a bit much now I want to fight him, lol.

What would piss you off more

1) Someone says better luck next year before your fantasy football season even begins...

or

2) Someone says better luck next year before a poker tournament begins.


#1 imo.

You ask for my opinion and I gave it to you. You can't handle the truth so u start trashing me, i get it.

Right now, you have the 4th or 5th best team in your division, knowing that the top 2 in each division advance, I dont see how u could advance no matter what the scoring system is.

Ryan Grant wont have the season he had last season without Favre, Packers wont win as many games and will abandon the run in lot of games compare to last season when they had the lead and would run the ball to kill the clock. That scenario may apply to Lynch as well.

Tedd Ginn has no good QB to throw him the ball so i think he will struggle a bit, he is not a starting WR in a 10 league format imo.

Gates is doubtful to start the season on time.

Your Flex is a second year WR

your bench is weak

Andre Johnson and Payton Manning will be great but they cant carry your team.

I think you will give up on your team after week 4-5 just like you gave up on your baseball team in 2007. The only Fantasy sport i wouldn't want to compete against you is Hockey but I would take you on any other Fantasy sports with a decent scoring system. You are welcome to sign up to fanball leagues and compete against me in football, basketball, hockey, nascar, football.

I didnt mean to trash you by saying better luck next year but it is clear to me that u wont make the playoff with your current team. You Probably need to make 3-4 waiver moves and maybe 1 big trade to be competitive and make the playoffs.

Good Luck
