Roster Feedback + Questions

[Matt in KC]

Hi guys. I'd love any feedback about my team, and have a few week 1 questions below.

 

League: 12 teams

Pretty typical scoring, with the following notes: 6 points for passing TD, .5 PPR, 2 point bonus for yards: 300 passing or 100 rushing or receiving

 

Team Name: Walking Wounded

 

4.8 QB - Michael Vick

3.5 RB - Fred Jackson

2.8 RB - Adrian Peterson

1.5 WR - Calvin Johnson

6.8 WR - Dez Bryant

7.5 WR - Stevie Johnson (RB/WR/TE Flex)

5.5 TE - Aaron Hernandez

14.8 K - Rob Bironas

10.8 DEF - Green Bay Packers

 

Bench

12.8 QB - Christian Ponder

9.5 RB - Michael Bush

11.5 RB - Rashard Mendenhall

8.8 RB - Isaac Redman

13.5 WR - Austin Collie

15.5 DEF - NY Giants

 

So, this year I when with several players that I just think are "gamers". My questions are likely obvious:

1. Who was a reach where I picked them?
   
2. Sit Peterson? ...for? (Did I screw myself?)
   
3. Sit Stevie? ...for Collie? I wasn't too concerned until the groin articles came out yesterday, hopefully just PR fluff.

The Packers were a reach. With Vick you want a better backup qb, preferably a Schaub or somebody there.

I personally would not have taken Peterson or Hernandez but that's about where they go in most drafts so whatever..

Dez Bryant is a steal where you got him.

 

Yah I would probably play Bush over Peterson. Play Stevie if he plays.

Thanks for the feedback, BuffOrange.

 

Yeah, I was impulsive on Peterson. If I'd read more, I would have waited longer to take him. I saw he was running strong and fully confident about being ready to play.

 

Why no Hernandez, besides the obvious loathing of the Patriots? I've taken a couple in the past and have been unable to root for them.

 

I was following the crowd on the Packers. There was a run on the defenses and I didn't really like the players still on the board (Robert Meachem, Greg Little, Roy Helu etc.). For defense, kicker, even TE, I wanted picks with late byes so I could use as many slots as possible on picking up hot WRs or surprise/situational RBs which seem to emerge the first few weeks each year.

 

I have no idea what to expect from Bush in Chicago this year. I'm as worried about seeing his role as Peterson's.
