My keepers are 9 10 and 12 round picks I'm keeping Julius Thomas Fred Jackson and Michael Crabtree.
I think I'm going to go with pick 4 unless someone will trade me an extra top 4 pick

Getting Thomas in the 7th round would be totally worth it. Jackson and Crabtree are meh and you can probably get someone better.

12 team PPR (1), I had the #5 pick.

QB - Tony Romo
RB - Matt Forte
RB - Joique Bell
WR - Jordy Nelson
WR - Keenan Allen
WR - Golden Tate
TE - Ladarius Green
FL - Rashad Jennings
DEF - Pitt
K - Robbie Gould

BENCH
QB - Carson Palmer
RB - Ray Rice
RB - Danny Woodhead
WR - Kelvin Benjamin
WR - Markus Wheaton
WR - Marvin Jones

Green's an obvious weak spot at TE, but guys I thought would be there for me were picked out from under me so I back burnered TE to add depth at RB/WR.

Not a sexy team, but I like it. Thoughts?

Not bad. Keep an eye out for someone like Kelce to blow up at TE early. Maybe Fleener will step up this year too.

Yep, I figure there may be unknowns who step up big. Kelce's a good sneaky one. I picked up Jordan Reed last year mid-season even though I had Gronk and started him at my flex most of the rest of the way.

I am really bored at work right now so I'm doing a mock draft. 12 teams and I took 6th pick. Here's what happened:

1. Computer: Forte
2. Computer: McCoy
3. Person: AP
4. Person: Lacy
5. Computer: Megatron
6. Me: Jamaal Charles

If I have sixth pick and JC25 falls into my lap I just won the dang lottery.

I drafted last night for a 10 team league and my team is awesome. The bad news is that I wasnt made aware that it's a ppr league. I don't even know if the commish realizes that so I'm upset about it. I just hope my team is good enough to make up for not knowing.

At least I realized that it was Non-PPR before we drafted.

10 team PPR, here's how I drafted (Yahoo rating of C+) and I'll follow that with a question.

QB Philip Rivers, RGIII
WR Demaryius Thomas, Percy Harvin, Emmanuel Sanders, DeSean Jackson
RB DeMarco Murray, Le'Veon Bell, Toby Gerhart, Danny Woodhead, Mark Ingram
TE Kyle Rudolf, Jordan Reed

As for my question, from what I've been reading, Jeremy Hill is starting to get some decent pub so who's the better RB for my bench (with potential)? Hill or Mark Ingram?

11 team standard league, I picked 7th:

QB1: Jay Cutler
RB1: Marshawn Lynch
RB2: Andre Ellington
WR1: Calvin Johnson
WR2: Larry Fitzgerald
WR3: Kendall Wright
TE1: Dennis Pitta
DST: Patriots
K: Justin Tucker
B: Ryan Tannehill
B: Stevan Ridley
B: Darren Sproles
B: Kelvin Benjamin
B: Garrett Graham
B: Bills DST

If Cutler stays on the field all year I think he has monster numbers with that awesome receiving corps he has, including Forte. I loved grabbing Ellington as my #2 RB; could be the steal of the draft. I think he can put up major numbers. I need the Patriots D to be at least decent and Fitzgerald to still have a good fantasy season left in him. Plus, the team that drafted Peyton Manning had an other wise very forgettable draft so I think I've got a good shot at the title again.

I never understand those who draft backup defenses. Take a flyer on a guy who could breakout at a flex position.

Otherwise looks good. Assuming you got C. Johnson @ #7 so I'm surprised that Marshawn Lynch was available in round 2 for you.

We were required to draft 2QB, 3RB, 4WR, 2TE, 2 DST, 1 Kicker and then the last pick of our draft is a wildcard where we could pick any offensive player.

Seems like a weird set up but makes sense why you did what you did now.

We have 15 rounds so no problem to take a 2nd DST in the last two rounds. Kinda nice to have two DSTs then you can choose who is best based on match up.

Ive had number one scoring defense numbers in our league for the last three years by playing the waiver wire week to week. There is typically a defense each week which sucks, but is going up against a bad offense and will give you big numbers.

Yup that's how you play defenses. Last year for half the season I used the team playing the Jaguars.
