You stocked up in numbers anyway. That was the thing to do. There was **** all available in the later rounds, even backup quality.

Pretty happy too, though as I said, it's an old team, didn't realise this when I drafted. Not much in the way of rookie or second year break out potential. Still, think I got some depth.

Dodge

I was 7th pick. Waited on QB (I was last to get one) and RB (a little). Loads of WRs but I wanted that

QBs
Griffin III
Rothleisberger

RBs
Bush
Sproles
Fred Jackson

WRs
Nelson
Fitzgerald
Wayne
Hopkins
Hunter
Cooper
Hawkins

TE
Graham

Bengals DST
Gould (K)

TO.

Stuck in Work and on the phones and found drafting a nightmare trying to do it. Sucks now being on US time for Irish drafts.

Team is bad all over the place. Hopefully be able to do damage control as the season progresses.

2.Peyton Manning QB
3.Joique Bell RB
4.Shane Vereen RB
6.Ben Tate RB
9.James White RB
13.Chris Ivory RB(Auto)

1.Julius Thomas TE
10.Jordan Reed TE
14.Cardinals D/ST D/ST(Auto)
15.Nick Novak K(Auto)

eagle eye

I'm pretty happy with my draft, took some risks like waiting quite a while to take a WR but just wanted to get some no.1s, I didn't really want to lose out on RBs. Took a gamble on Chris Johnson because I can see him getting a lot of work in the passing game with the Jets.

QB Drew Brees, NO QB
RB Adrian Peterson, Min RB
RB Le'Veon Bell, Pit RB
RB/WR Chris Johnson, NYJ RB

Haha, second highest score of the week and i still lose. FML

In Exile

If Team 4thandforever manage to win this weekend, I think they deserve a medal!

67-0 down after TNF after Ryan and Jones combine for 60 points? Ouch!

Dodge

I took a punt on Bobby Rainey when I heard Martin was out. I fell asleep after he fumbled and the Falcons were 28-0 up. Woke up this morning to see he'd miraculously scored 13 points

Still in with a shout!

Masked Man

Been a very disappointing season so far, thought I had a good chance at winning this league. Gonna be a good sweat tonight to not lose to Spongey and avoid 0-4.

TO.

Im 1-2 and about to go 1-3 haven't been able to scrape it back. Starting to put more of my focus on Prem and my paid leagues.

That's a shame. You're playing me this week and I really like my team. Unless Shane Vereen scores 50 I'm about to go 4-0. I can't remember the last time that happened with any of my leagues

Dodge

Genuinely thought I was looking at a third straight loss today but 73 points from Big Ben and Larry Fitzgerald has giving me hope again. Fitz probably wouldn't be playing if 4 of my bench weren't injured and I had to drop someone to pick up an RB who didn't score a point...

Things getting very interesting now, with only five weeks left of regular season. There are five of us on 6-3 or better battling for a playoff place, with a few others on 4-5 still in with a shout.

I'm just glad to be still in the hunt at this stage after two very poor years. The two Jeremys came up big for me last week, I had been waiting all season to use Jeremy Hill, and it was worth it. And Maclin has been fantastic.

Shermans Sermons are 8-1 and practically a lock to make the playoffs. Then there are 4 of us at 6-3 competing for 3 spots. If the playoffs started this week i would be the one losing out. Guess i'm gonna have to win more games than the rest of ye

padraig_f

Going pretty well (Gummi Bears), 6-3.

Haven't got any major studs, but solid enough throughout. Some good value picks....TY Hilton (4th ranked WR/drafted 6th round), Greg Olsen (4th ranked TE/drafted 9th round), Philip Rivers (7th ranked QB/drafted 11th round), Ahmad Bradshaw (5th ranked RB/ drafted 14th round).

1st round pick was Demariyus Thomas, who's the 2nd ranked WR.
2nd round pick was Brandon Marshall, who's been disappointing, 31st ranked WR.

I took a big risk in the draft, taking Foster and Forte early was a hit or miss and luckily it has paid off.

I'm up against an Awkward Customer this week, and think I can be knocked off. I'm down to Sanchez and Hoyer with Foles injured. And I struggle for back up for my RBs.

Dodge

I was flying but injuries to my Rbs recently caused a stumble. Happy with top 3 picks (Immy Graham, Jordy Nelson and Reggie Bush). Fred jackson inthe 8th was a gift. Rothlesberger from the 12th now flying

Looking forward to the next few weeks

Dodge

back with a bang this week. 149 with 2 players to go. 5 scorers went 19 or above

In Exile

2 big games this week.

I (Shermon's Sermon 8-2), play Inchicore Warriors (7-3) and The Clash of The Bears see both 7-3 teams play

Dodge

I make Shermon's Sermon strong favourites against me (Warriors) as he has 2 exceptional RBs and I have none at all (fit)

Spongey1975

Nothing between the two Bears teams. Its projected 134-131 in my favour. But then again when have projections been right

That'll be a good one. I think I like your team better...Rodgers, Beast Mode, Gore, Roddy White, then you have Odell Beckham coming on very strong lately. Not many weak spots. I guess I could win, but it'll take a good week to do it.

TO.

I just realised I ended up with Boldin somehow. I think I grabbed him off the FA. I was surprised he was there to be honest. He could actually be the difference with me pushing for a playoff spot in the final stretch.

Edit: I shouldnt have opened my mouth sh1te day

I made a comment a couple of weeks ago about taking a risk picking Foster and Forte.

Seems it is catching up to me now with Foster's groin injury. The biggest problem I have is I picked P Thomas as my backup RB but he has been injured for about 5 weeks too.

Dodge

I had Jonas Grey on my bench...

PPR league is the only Boards league I don't have him. Firmly placed on my bench in Prem and Keeper since he came off the Practice squad.
