Tyler Durden's Fantasy Football team

[Tyler Durden]

I am the only 3-0 team in a 10 team league and have scored the most points thus far (246 pts, standard Yahoo scoring). My drafting was heavily criticized last month in Clarkmeister's thread. Some of which was deserved. The number in parentheses indicates the round in which they were drafted:

RB Edgerrin James (1)
RB Tiki Barber (2)
WR Terrell Owens (3)
QB Brett Favre (4)
RB Chris Brown (5)
WR Nate Burleson (6)
TE Jeremy Shockey (7)
K Mike Vanderjagt (8)
QB Kerry Collins (9)
WR Larry Fitzgerald (10)
WR Rod Smith (11)
RB Travis Henry (12)
D NYJ (13)
WR Dante Stallworth (14)
QB Eli Manning (15)
RB Mike Anderson (16)

I have a tough matchup this week as I play the second-highest scoring team in the league, he's 2-0-1 and is led by Shaun Alexander, Randy Moss and Julius Jones.

Analysis of my team/drafting:

Edge - has over 400 yards combined but just 1 TD. Got to believe the sluggish Indy offense will turn it around soon. probably a good pick.

Tiki Barber - almost 300 yards combined and 2 TDs. another good pick.

TO - over 300 yards and 3 TDs. good pick w/ good value.

Brett Favruh - over 700 yards passing w/ 5 TDs, but has 7 INTs. taken too high, poor pick

Chris Brown - bust, but maybe he'll get more carries following Travis Henry's suspension

Nate Burleson - bust. puke.

Shockey - 194 yds and 1 TD. prob taken too high.

Vanderjagt - def taken too high. next year i won't draft a kicker.

Collins - steal in the 9th round

Fitzgerald - good value

Travis Henry - bust

Jets D - pretty decent I guess


Smith - also good value

Stallworth - bust. has been cut from my team

Eli Manning - good pick, good value

Mike Anderson - also good value



Who should I start at QB this week?
Manning vs. STL
Collins vs. DAL
Favre @ CAR

TIA

Manning.

[brettbrettr]

No amount of justification will make Favre Vanderjadt Jets etc good picks. I don't care if Favre sets the world on fire, you could have gotten him later.

I'd seriosuly consider Eli this week.

[Wes ManTooth]

Who ever helped you with some of those excellent late picks during your draft must be brilliant.

Are you kidding? I'm playing in the 16 man league and have 339 points.

Madtown, are we not using the standard Yahoo scoring, or do I need to do everything possible to get into TD's league next year?

Alot could depend on number of starters, positions, team d vs. individual d, etc.

Standard Yahoo Scoring (to me) is pretty much:
1 pt for 20 yards rushing/receiving
1 pt for 50 yards passing
6 pts for TD
1 pt for sack
2 pts for defensive turnover
-2 for fumble
-2 for interception
etc

Ok, our yardage requirements are lower, but passing TDs count for 4. Defensive stuff looks the same. I have no idea where I would stack up in this league.

[Soul Daddy]

Was your draft in May? How did Mike Anderson last that long?

I like Eli more than most, but Collins seems a clear start to me.

Post your team you started the last 3 weeks and if I'm bored enough the next hour maybe I will figure it out.

Noticed your avatar - I barely remember it, but I really liked Sifl and Olly.

Me too. MTV sucks for refusing to release it on DVD.

[sam h]

I would be starting Collins just about every week.

[Victor]

collins in the 9th. to in the 3rd. looks like you play in a league with morons.

Nice team. With that Yahoo Scoring that I posted above your team would have scored 262 points compared to TD's 246.

Dude, the OP drafted Favre in the 4th. This is obviously the case.

Just for the record, I saw a few leagues where TO went that late. People were afraid to draft him because he was holding out and noone knew if he'd play this year. Therefore they didn't want to waste a high pick on him. It was a nice risk/reward pick, but it scared a lot of people away as well.

[nyc999]

How in the world did Collins not go until the 9th round? I think he is going before Favre in most leagues...

Even Fitz in the 10th seems pretty late.

Manning.

Wow, I'm an idiot...thought it was Peyton not Eli /images/graemlins/blush.gif

Yeah, Collins is clearly the best option.

[Aces McGee]

This is a clear thread hijack, but Sifl &amp; Olly rocks. I miss it.

-McGee

[SossMan]

I would see what WR you can get for collins.

It has pretty much panned out as expected. You were critisized for drafting favre, chris brown, shockey, and vanderjagt that early and they have, thus far, not lived up to where you drafted them / who you could have gotten later.

[wonderwes]

Collins or Manning will be an even pick. Both teams will want to throw a lot because their running game wont be very effective.

T.O. is a machine. The only thing is, if Mcnabb (he's playing hurt) gets banged up and comes out, it could slow down T.O.'s catches. Rod Smith is a good pick up, he will certainly get enough passes per week.

You really need a better defense. Which teams are out their in your league's free agency? You need to upgrade that.
