Trendsetters 2018

[76erfan]

This is the team Corey Parsons and I have constructed. Now that bye weeks are out.......I like that we do not have much conflict within roster positions. We have only selected 2 rookies and as of now its probably going to be two RB (definitely at rookie 2 anyway)...will see what's there at rookie 6. We like the team. Think its well rounded.

QB (3)
Jared Goff 12
Joe Flacco 10
Teddy Bridgewater 11

RB (6)
Rookie #2 ??
Alex Collins 10
Duke Johnson 11
Rookie #6 ??
Tarik Cohen 5
LeGarrette Blount 6
Darren Sproles 9

TE (4)
George Kittle 11
Trey Burton 5
Jesse James 7
Clive Walford 11

WR (6)
Odell Beckham 9
Julio Jones 8
Allen Robinson 5
Emmanuel Sanders 10
Cam Meredith 6
Terrance Williams 8

K (3)
Blair Walsh FA
Cairo Santos 11
Sebastian Janikowski 7

D(2)
Colts 9
Cowboys 8

From Bill Cleavenger, transferred from the old boards last week:

Trendsetters 2018 is in the books. A total 420 players drafted (14 teams, 30 rounds). I believe there were 54 Rookies selected. Jack Haan and my "Wyld Natyon" team;

CNewton - Car (4)
MRyan - Atl (8)
RTannehill - Mia (11)
3 starters on 3 different bye weeks. If all stay healthy, we can deal with this group.

TGurley - LAR (12)
RJones II - TB (5)
BPowell - NYJ (11)
AEkeler, JJackson - LAC (8)
CJProsise - Sea (7)
NHines - Ind (9)
Feel good with Jones and Hines as 2 of our Rookie picks. An MGordon health issue gives Ekeler/Jackson possibilities.

THill - KC (12)
ACooper - Oak (7)
PGarcon, DPettis - SF (11)
NAgholor - PHI (9)
TPryor - NYJ (11)
MWilliams - LAC (8)
CWilliams - Ari (9)
CBeasley - Dal (8)
DCain - Ind (9)
ACalloway - Cle (11)
Like this group a lot. CKirk could hurt CWilliams chances, Swisher being dealt helps CBeasley, Calloway was the best WR in the SEC (yep, better than Ridley), but suspensions kept him off the field. He's a knucklehead with JGordon as a mentor. GEEEESH.

EEbron - Ind (9)
VMcDonald - Pitt (7)
LWillson - Det (6)
JButt - Den (10)
Our weakness

GZuerlein - LAR (12)
MBryant - Atl (8)
DCarlson - Min (10)
Carlson was a 5th rounder, he could be the PK in Minn or possibly somewhere else.

Denver D/ST (10)
Chicago D/ST (5)
Good draft for both defenses.

If nothing else, the BYE weeks worked well for us. We'll see how it works out.

This post from Mike Sanda was transferred from the old boards last week:

Final Phase:
For me, this phase was all about the scraps of rookies my esteemed league members left and backing up my old men QB1s.

26.7: WR Courtland Sutton, DEN
He'll be hard-pressed to breakout this year, with DT and Sanders still playing. But they're both 30+ years old and free agents next year. So maybe DEN takes a look at their future sooner rather than later? At 6'4, maybe they let Sutton run outside and some red zone and bump Sanders into the slot?

27.8: RB John Kelly, LAR
Obviously not a great landing spot for high output. But this late in the draft, at least he's a probable backup to an elite starter. So if anything were to happen to Gurley (hope not, as I've been drafting him a lot!), Kelly could be a nice surprise.

28.7: QB Mason Rudolph, PIT
Backup to Old Man QB #2. Or maybe it's still Landry Jones? At any rate, Ben has no interest in serving as mentor to facilitate his replacement. But he's 36 years old and seldom plays all sixteen games.

29.8: K Matthew McCrane, ARI
A UDFA who may not even make the team. But ARI can save $2.5 million if they cut 43YO Phil Dawson.

30.7: QB Brian Hoyer, NE
Backup to Old Man QB #1.

My roster:
QB: Brady/Hoyer, Roethlisberger/Rudolph
RB: Henry, Crowell, Carson, Foreman, Dixon, McGuire, Kelly
WR: ABrown, Cooks, Kupp, Godwin, JMatthews, TyWilliams, Mitchell, Butler, Thompson, Sutton
TE: Graham, Eifert, Kroft, Derby
DST: LAC, BUF
K: Boswell, Hauschka, McCrane

Good luck to everyone this year. Looking forward to another exciting season of competition.
