QB - Drew Brees (NO)
RB - Chris Johnson (NYJ)
RB - Andre Ellington (ARI)
WR - AJ Green (CIN)
WR - Julio Jones (ATL)
TE - Niles Paul (WAS)
Flex - Jeremy Hill (CIN)
DEF - Broncos
Bench
QB - EJ Manuel (BUF)
WR - Greg Jennings (MIN)
WR - Cecil Shorts (JAX)
RB - Carlos Hyde (SF)
RB - Jonathan Grimes (HOU)
RB - Joe McKnight (KC)
DEF - LIONS
I've been fortunate enough to have Brees since he first got to New Orleans through some savy trading on my part. I also lucked out with two picks in our first round the year that Jones and Green came into the league and snagged both of them. Unfortunately, with 12 teams and 15 player rosters along with 6 keepers per year, our annual draft is mostly gambling on rookies and the odd capable veteran from a bloated team that couldn't protect him.
I only need a backup QB for Brees' bye week so i'm not worried about Manuel as my backup. He's more of a placeholder. If a better QB is available on Brees' bye week, I'll pick them up. With the exception of Jennings and Shorts, my bench is mostly rookies I'm hoping might breakout. My TE went down last night so I'll have to plug some random free agent in there which is normally the case for my team as I don't have Jimmy Graham, Gronkowski or Julius Thomas. The rest are fairly interchangeable IMO.
There, that's my FFB nerd out. I don't have much in the way of trash talk since I 1) respect Kristy too much (except when she plays A10o) and 2) I have no idea who else you have other than Ray "Right Hook" Rice.
I've been wanting to try to start a keeper league; it seems like a whole new challenge.
Niles Paul, at least one week...if your league's anything like mine, gl with a replacement.
GW and I have a longstanding joke about Cecil Shorts..he's had him both years and EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. he has to play him-- he does nothing. He is the pat answer for "Who should I play"....'cause we're dicks, and try to never offer any real support or help to each other.
Just so we're clear..was it Ax10
HEARTS...cuz the 10h is bloody magical.
