Questions
Tom --
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.
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.
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
