I had a look at this, it's not an option to change this on the League page. I think it is just a default setting for all ESPN leagues. Nothing I can do I'm afraid.

Fair enough, not a big deal really.

Just a reminder that the PPR League draft is on tomorrow night at 10pm. Hope we can all make it.

Should be there. This league last year was by far the worst for me. need to step it up

Picking 6th, which is where I wanted to be, prefer to be in the middle.

1. C.J. Spiller, Buf RB  
Easy pick, top ranked RB, wasn't that close.

2. Brandon Marshall, Chi WR  
Forte went a pick before, who I wanted, but happy enough with Marshall.

3. Victor Cruz, NYG WR  
Another fairly straightforward pick.

4. Lamar Miller, Mia RB  
I'd planned to pick Gronk in round 4, but I liked Miller, and saw Gronk was about 12 places down, so said I'd risk getting him in the next round.

5. Rob Gronkowski*, NE TE  
Happy days.

6. Jordy Nelson, GB WR  
First pick I wasn't sure about, other option was to go for a healthy TE (Vernon Davis).

7. Andrew Luck, Ind QB  
Happy with this one. I like watching Luck, and he was ranked well at this position.

8. Rashard Mendenhall, Ari RB  
Onto bench players now, but I haven't picked a healthy TE, and was expecting to pick a backup WR before RB. Mendenhall had fell a couple of rounds further than I thought, so took him.

9. Ben Roethlisberger, Pit QB  
Looks high for a backup QB. My needs at this point are starting TE and backup WR, but my targets for these (Bennett, Fleener, Hartline), I thought I could get further down.

10. Martellus Bennett, Chi TE  
Got my starting TE at last.

11. Bears D/ST D/ST  
Also high for a defense, but still thought I could get my other guys further down.

12. Brian Hartline, Mia WR  
13. Jacquizz Rodgers, Atl RB  
14. Coby Fleener, Ind TE  
15. Robbie Gould, Chi K  

Got the backups I wanted ok.

Verdict:
Generally happy, taking a gamble with Gronk's health, but that was the plan. Hopefully get through the first few weeks, and if he gets healthy, I should have a strong team for 2nd half & playoffs.

Possible problems:
Could have depth issues with the TE situation, and taking a DEF and backup QB relatively high.

Forgot the draft but I'm sure I auto-picked a great team. Checking now.

Syferus

Oh, I was the #1 pick. Wonderful.

1 Adrian Peterson, Min RB
24 Peyton Manning, Den QB
25 Frank Gore, SF RB
48 Marques Colston, NO WR
49 Mike Wallace, Mia WR
72 DeAngelo Williams, Car RB
73 Robert Griffin III, Wsh QB
96 Owen Daniels, Hou TE
97 Seahawks D/ST D/ST
120 Denarius Moore, Oak WR
121 Ben Tate, Hou RB
144 Malcom Floyd, SD WR
145 Rueben Randle, NYG WR
168 Justin Tucker, Bal K
169 Joe Flacco, Bal QB

Pretty happy with that for an auto-pick draft, DeAngelo seems the only real dud in terms of draft position.

Offers on Peyton and RG3 are welcome, I'd probably be looking for a quality PPR receiver in exchange.

STARTERS

QB Matthew Stafford, Det QB

RB Trent Richardson, Cle RB

RB Ryan Mathews, SD RB

RB/WR Reggie Wayne, Ind WR

WR Dez Bryant, Dal WR P

WR Larry Fitzgerald, Ari WR

TE Brandon Pettigrew, Det TE

D/ST Ravens D/ST D/ST

K David Akers, Det K P

BENCH

Bench Shane Vereen, NE RB

Bench T.Y. Hilton, Ind WR

Bench Emmanuel Sanders, Pit WR

Bench Bryce Brown, Phi RB P

Bench Michael Vick, Phi QB

Bench Roy Helu, Wsh RB


Pretty happy in general with that. Good depth I think. Happy with Vereen in the 7th.

Dodge

I had 7th pick. Happy with team

(7) Jamaal Charles RB
Delighted with this. Thought about going with McCoy but wanted one of Charles, McCoy or Spiller
(18) Matt Forte RB
Again, delighted.
(31) Randall Cobb WR
(42) Danny Amendola WR
Both of these should be PPR monsters. Usual concerns about injuries
(55) Colin Kaepernick QB
Maybe a bit of a reach but love his potential
(66) Steve Johnson WR
(79) Greg Jennings WR
(90) Lance Moore WR
All have potential to finish top 20. Johnson is great in PPR
(103) Zach Sudfeld TE
12th TE taken. I waited and was happy to take the gamble
(114) Kenny Britt WR
No lack of talent. Number 1 receiver (on an admittedly bad team)
(127) Knowshon Moreno RB
I think he'll start. Needed a 3rd RB and think he'll be OK for me
(138) Patriots D/ST D/ST
Usually wait until 2nd last round for a DST but about 5/6 already taken and wanted the patriots for their start to the season (Bills & Jets)
(151) Justin Blackmon WR
Worth a flyer even with 4 game suspension
(162) Fred Davis TE
Solid starting TE that allows me gamble with Sudfeld
(175) Greg Zuerlein K
Whatevs...

I gambled a little tyhat I'd be able to get a couple of RBs late and they were picked before they dropped to me. lack of depth there is my only concern

Need 17 points from Victor Cruz tonight to win week 1, projected...17.

edit: actually need 26, ****.

Syferus

Peyton, you monster. Thank you.

Unlucky to lose with 136. Think you'll do ok with Kaepernick in your team, 400 yards passing yesterday, wow. I'm starting to regret not going after him harder in my leagues.

boccy23

Crazy. :eek:

In this league last year I had a tie in week 1. Roll on 2013 and yes, another tie.

I have Cameron Gonzalez and Thomas if you fancy a trade.

Masked Man

Sorry about ignoring that trade TO, meant to get back to it after Sunday night. fwiw I probably wouldn't have accepted. Happy enough with Davis at TE.

TO.

Disaster week for me. Made roster changes at the last minute and I have 98 points on my fricking bench. Should have left it and gone with my gut. Down by 24 think to myself grand Welker and Thomas might bring that score down a bit as he had Brown. Wake up this morning to find Brown scored 40 fooking points. Fook 0-3 my worst start in a long time in fantasy and my worst league going right now. Need to start paying more attention to this now cant go 0-4 next week. Maybe Welker and Thomas will score 64 points for me tonight

Dodge

Finally got a win on the board dspite posting my lowest total (by some distance) of the 3 weeks so far. A 4 from Kaepernick tried to give me that 0-3 start

Dodge

I need 10 points from Dolphins TE Charles Clay tonight. Can't see it happening.

My TE scoring this year
Week 1 - 0
Week 2 - 0
Week 3 - 8

ugh

A top 15 WR. Cameron and Thomas are ranked 2 and 3 right now and Gonzalez 16. After yesterday Cameron and Thomas will stay were they are and Gonzalez will bump up to Top 5

I'd say no chance. You have 3 TEs so great depth. But you can only play 1 any week. They might be worth that on their own, but nobody is going to stump up a top 15WR when you could have to drop 1. The weeks of multiple bye weeks are a coming. Roster places become tougher and tougher to hold on to.

You honestly think I would drop any of them? Plenty of average players on my team around them equal to the average players on the FA to fill those spots.

Here is my team:

Start
Hoyer QB WK10
Sproles RB WK 7
Bell RB WK 9
Bernard RB WK 12
Welker WR WK 9
Royal WR WK 8
Cameron TE WK 10
Cheifs DEF WK 10
Hartley K WK 7
Bench
Jones-Drew WK 9
Gonzalez TE WK 6
Jeffrey WR WK 8
Wright WR WK 8
Schaub QB WK 8
Thomas TE WK 9

No big issues with Bye Weeks really, week 8 might be a stickler but plenty of guys who can be dropped if needs be that are not Tight Ends. I will quite happily hold on to all 3 Tight Ends if no one wants them. No skin off my nose really.

Told you I would get a Top 15 WR in Fantasy right now for one of them

Thanks for Julius Thomas. 33 points on his own for the win!

Posted this on the Prem thread also. Hey lads there is a high chance of inactivity from me from this week for the next 3 weeks. Im going to try leave my team with an active enough roster but between a death a move stateside and a marriage and very little internet in between I could be missing a lot of time over the next 3 weeks. There is a chance I will sort my teams out but just a heads up.

Commiserations on your loss, very best of luck with the move and congrats on the marriage, I hope you have a long and wonderful relationship.
