Did I make a mistake with drafting AP, Jimmy Graham, and Murray based upon my league's modified std scoring?
My 10 team league gives big play and big game bonuses as follows:
40+ yard td = 8 points (rushing/receiving); 6 points passing
50+ yard td = 9 points (rushing/receiving); 7 points passing
Passing: 1 pt / 20 yards; 400+ yards 2 pt bonus
Rushing: 100+ yards 1 pt; 200+ yards 3 points

My roster is as follows:
QB Tony Romo, Dal QB
RB Adrian Peterson, Min RB
RB DeMarco Murray, Dal RB
WR Randall Cobb, GB WR
WR Pierre Garcon, Wsh WR
TE Jimmy Graham, NO TE
FLEX Toby Gerhart, Jac RB
D/ST Bengals D/ST D/ST
K Dan Bailey, Dal K
Bench Michael Floyd, Ari WR
Bench Percy Harvin, Sea WR
Bench Jay Cutler, Chi QB
Bench Eric Decker, NYJ WR
Bench Davonta Freeman, Atl RB
Bench Terrance West, Cle RB
Bench Kelvin Benjamin, Car WR

Rnd 1 (3rd): AP after Charles and McCoy.
Rnd 2 (18th): Graham (Big 4 WR's were gone; passed on Marshall, Jones, and Nelson)
Rnd 3 (23rd): Murray (instead of Jeffrey, A. Brown, VJax, and Keenan Allen)

Did I make a mistake passing on Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, Julio Jones, and Jordy Nelson for Graham and Murray considering the big play bonuses? I get flak about my receivers so have been second guessing myself a little.

    What I have learned is, dont second guess yourself until about 1/2 way thru the season. You have a great team.

    Yes you passed up on Marshall, Jones and Nelson who have the big play ability. But instead, you took advantage of the perceptions of the other owners and were able to get Graham in the 2nd and Murray in the 3rd. 2 great steals. Your team will consistenly put up points. Those bonues are fluky and unpredictable.

    You have the 2 QBs who I absolutely LOVE this year in additon to AP, Graham. Give yourself a pat on the back.

    I love this team. I wish I could have it.

    This team is really impressive. You have the top TE easily, two top 10 RBs, two top 15 WRs, a stacked bench, and two great values at QB. I wouldn't touch this. Just sit back and watch the wins roll in. Wish my team looked like this haha

    Thanks Noah. It's nice to get an unbiased perspective (especially when it's positive!). I'm sure you did fine in your draft!

    You have two top-6 RB in my opinion. Love it.

    You also have the top TE. Awesome. I (personally) would have gone Marshall, but you nabbed Randall Cobb. Graham at 18 is value - shocked he fell.

    Cobb could light. it. up. this year ... don't worry about him. Just keep your WR depth in check and you should be good to go for the season. Floyd and Decker might be better flex plays here and there and nice fill ins when your starters are on bye.

    Plus, you got two QBs are great streamers ... landing both is really good.

    Have fun and don't fret. Other owners will beg you for you WR 3 or 4 weeks into the season

    Thanks Daniel, I appreciate the vote of confidence. The tipping point for me with Graham was the drop off between him and the other TE's but you're probably right about Marshall. Oh well. Thanks again!

    Yeah, but that said - the fact that Graham fell that far is interesting. At your draft spot there, I would value both very similarly ... and so does nF's draft kit. You nabbed two nice WR and have WR depth. If you had ignored that, the Graham pick could bite you. Be watching your waivers for other TE to slot in your flex and/or replace Graham on his bye. In a 10-teamer, I'm sure there's nice value at the position still on WW.

    I'm keeping an eye on Delanie Walker and Ladarius Green. I just don't want to drop anyone for them right now, lol.
