I was auto-drafted the last few rounds, so hopefully I'll be able to switch Doug Martin for Ameer Abdullah, and John Brown for Philly's Defense/ST

Nice team, I really like Owen Daniels as a TE this year. Thats weird that you select defensive players, never seen that before....

Been in a league with my family for about 10 years, and we've always used defensive players. It's an interesting dynamic. 
 
Only about 10 RBs had more points than JJ Watt last year, and Watt had 60 more points than the 2nd highest scoring DL.

How does the scoring system work for defensive players? What if you have a lockdown corner and he isnt targeted all game?

 

[elcheato]

Then he ain't gonna be on your team. You gotta target the safeties who are in situations that give large tackle opportunities. That's what you're after for LB & DBs, mainly tackles. DL, you can either go low risk with a guy who consistently gets about 4-6 tackles or go with the high ceiling pass rushers, who have a chance of going through games with 0 points. 
 

 
 
Tackle Solo 1
Tackle Assist .5
Sack 2
Interception 2 
Fumble Force 1 
Fumble Recovery 2
Defensive Touchdown 6
Safety 2
Block Kick 2

 

[cruzg24]

Hmm very interesting scoring system. I would have interceptions scored higher than sacks because they happen more infrequently I think. Like 3-4 points, but everything else looks good. 

 

[elcheato]

Interceptions are the same as sacks despite not happening as often because the DBs get a lot more tackles than the lineman.

 

[cruzg24]

Ok that makes sense then. Damn thats really cool I should join a league with defensive players so I become more knowlegeable about defenses.

10 team (2 QB-2 RB-3 WR-1 TE-1 FLEX-1 K)

QB: Newton, Rivers, Carr
RB: Peterson, Stewart, Crowell, Yeldon, Vereen, C. Michael
WR: Green, Cooks, Sanders, Funchess, Coleman, LaFell
TE: Daniels, Gates
K: Tucker

 

[cruzg24]

Damn getting Rivers as your backup QB is very nice. If Stewart can stay healthy youve got a really good team.

 

[bosoxlover12]

He's a starter in that league. 2 starting QBs.

He's a backup to Cam in my other league though

 

[cruzg24]

Damn my bad thats what I meant what I saw your lineup.

Thats Emmanuel Sanders correct? Is so, thats a damn good team.

 

[bosoxlover12]

I have all solid starters, and then high-upside bench players (Coleman, Yeldon, Funchess, Carr, Michael)

Yes it's Emmanuel

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Dustins league, 12 teams:

QB: Drew Brees

WR: Andre Johnson, Allen Robinson, Marques Colston, Roddy White, Michael Floyd
TE: Martellus Bennett, Antonio Gates
DEF: St. Louis Rams
K: Mason Crosby

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Any opinions?

 

[bosoxlover12]

Solid at RB, weak at WR

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I'm hoping somebody at WR steps up this year

 

[cruzg24]

Andre as your #1 is not preferable but at least he has Luck now which might help rejuvenate his career

I dont even now who Allen Robinson is lol
