And that score had little to do with starting player selection either. No combination of any of my players (including the bench) would have gotten me the leagues highest score this week (NOT EVEN CLOSE) .... Although I woulda won (Barely) if I had benched all my New Orleans Aints players this past week.... Would any of you have done that though? Bench the NFL's highest scoring offense from last year? And it gets no better for my team in week two either. I play the leagues highest scoring team from last week..... an 0-2 start for team min.dmg. seems likely.Have I mentioned that I hate autodrafts? Sheese. OK, I will stop the crying...... for now...........

Aneoth wrote: BTW: yes I traded to get Deuce and ........ The RB I traded for him... will be out for at least the next 6 weeks. He tore something in his leg during the first weeks game. Deuce will be one of my starting RB's for the remainder of the season most likely. He is all I have. And he is the backup RB on the Aints.......
mdr003 wrote:Picking up 6 WR in the auto draft was pretty rough.... but overall I think you did as well as anyone. Brees, LJ and Baltimore are all top tier, Edge and Roy Williams are both very good players. The downsides are probably Jacobs (unknown quantity) and picking up too many average WR instead of getting more depth at RB. But there were upsides and downsides to all 8 teams. I managed to draft two shitty defences through my own fault... and part of my RB depth was the two mediocre hacks from Green Bay.At the end of the season when Brees and LJ have carried you into the playoffs, you'll look back on the draft with warmth and gratitude... or not, as the case may be.I've sent you a trade offer.... let me know what you think.RegardsMike
Badmike wrote:The great thing about only 8 teams in the Luddite league is lots of depth, and lots of possible waiver wire players. and lots of trading (since everyone has someone that another team wants). Unlike in the Acaeum League...where the waiver wire looks like the bottom drawer of my fridge when I've forgotten to clean it out for a few months Mike B.

If this had been for money I WOULD have cried.... HUGE tears....I think I might even give you a run this week. Especially if the Minnesota passing defense gets burned by Detroits passing game, as I really think it will. It had better, since my teams week 2 hopes are riding on it. If not, then it will be a gruesomely, Gelataneous, slimey, bloody slaughter.....
mdr003 wrote:The autodraft is a lottery, to be sure... unless you're prepared to do a LOT of preparation. I still maintain that even with all those WR, you were no worse off than anyone else. In the first ten picks, you drafted 3 WR (one at #10); that was pretty much the same for every one. Four of the eight WR were your last 4 picks, when there wasn't much left anyway - at the same time I was picking up Ben Watson, Cleveland and Brandon Jackson, none of whom will ever see the field. Meanwhile other teams were drafting spare kickers, LJ Smith, Rex Grossman etc.If Detroit run hot, you'll win for sure. Kitna looked pretty good last week, but I don't know he can repeat the effort against the Vikings. I'm going to play Jacksonville this week anyway - they've got Atlanta who were awful last week.RegardsMike
Aneoth wrote:Some good points. Still, I would have taken Brandon Jackson over ANY of those 4 WR's in those last rounds. BTW The one TE the draft got for me is at best a top 15.... not even close to a top 8................. With a live draft my teams roster would be completely different at the very least after the 3rd or perhaps 4th round anyway.
