PriusChat Fantasy Football 2011 – EFusco is Champion!

Good luck in the draft everyone. My other draft was just average, even though I had 3rd overall. I think I'm gonna go for some sleepers in this one and that probably means I'll be hunting at the top of the waiver list for the first few weeks as usual...

 

I'm in. I actually got a number of my sleepers so my team is probably doomed. I'm happy I got my top pick at #7. Lots of other bargains I thought would have gone higher. Reggie Wayne, Larry Fitzgerald, Roddy White, Frank Gore, Matt Forte and Hakeem Nicks in round 3 look like steals to me.

 

I think the website is not working right. My teams aren't showing. I recall that if you click on our league, one of the options on the navigation bar will be "Draft Results" or something like that. Then you can see the round by round picks.

I sent you a trade offer. Probably not what you wanted, but it might help with a backup RB and a QB in case Manning and Cassell (broken rib) have to sit out a week or two.

 

Hey dumb question for you and/or your son. Probably obvious to fantasy pros. Do you gain something behind dropping players vs. holding them for a possible trade or waiver swap? Even though he's a backup these days, I see LT was dropped, but I suspect even with a cane, he's better than most backs on the unclaimed list. Sorry for being a newb, but someday I aspire to finish out of the cellar lol.

 

Thanks! Just seeing if there was some known trick over dropping a player in a waiver request.

 

Same happened to me and I didn't restrict WR selections at all.

 

Good Luck Everyone! There are a few solid teams in this league and sorry about Peyton manning possibly missing the season.

Show Me Them TD's

 

I credit my season to a great draft, because I have only a little knowledge players outside the Bears and even less skill with waivers and matchups. I'm getting better, though, as this is the first time in the few years I've played that I even had a winning record lol.

You forgot to mention how unlucky your son was. He lost the #1 overall draft pick (P Manning) for the whole season. His next 4 picks were all complete busts, including #2 D Jackson and #3 R Wayne. He did pick AJ Green for his 11th pick who was a bargain, probably his only draft pick that he used in the playoff game. J Jones wasn't bad for a 12th pick. Everyone else besides Jackson and Wayne were dropped, and those guys probably sat on the bench most of the year. Now THAT is impressive. I just rode my reliable draft picks to victory without much thought. Meanwhile your son got like 70 points from C Spiller and D Thomas, whoever they are.

I think we all have Priuschat Pigskin to thank. That roster may have been the best draft of any team. If it had been managed even just to take out byes and injuries, it was a potential playoff team and with just a couple waiver pickups, possibly the champ.

 

Pretty amazing only 1 trade and for two premier players, one was a complete dud after the trade and the other never stepped on the field despite supposedly having a minor injury.

I'm in for next year if someone reminds me!
