Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

First draft recap



I'm in 3 football leagues this season, the first of which drafted last night.  12 teams, standard scoring (non-PPR), roster as follows: QB, (2) RB, (3) WR/TE, K, DEF.  Here are the results, how did I do?

 

Keepers: C. Johnson, A. Johnson, Brady

My roster, with the round each player was drafted in parenthesis:

QB - Brady

RB - C. Johnson, Bush (2), J. Jones (4), J. Lewis (5), F. Taylor (7), Norwood (8), Faulk (10)

WR - A. Johnson, Colston (1), D. Jackson (3), Crayton (6), Breaston (9), Winslow (11)

 

I think this team has potential, but it will live or die with the health of Brady, Colston, and Bush.  Colston when healthy is a WR1.  Brady is the best QB in the league if everything is fine with the knee, and if Bush can manage to play 14 or 15 games he's an acceptable RB2, in my opinion.  I'm lacking a good WR3, but I have alot of depth.  I'm hoping someone from that group can step up and contribute appropriately.  What does everyone think?

who were your DEF and K

you have 2 solid wr’s and RB and i bet a couple of your wrs will end up being good backup wr’s. i don’t think you’ll be very happy with bush as your #2 rb. again i think you’ll have a couple good #3 rb’s with bush & lewis but no solid #2 rb. and you may need to get a decent backup qb incase brady has some issues

Agree that Reggie Bush is not a good RB2 in a non-PPR format. I love Brady, Chris Johnson, Andre johnson, Marques Colston and DeSean Jackson as a corp though, and think the rest of the roster can be improved once the games start and free agents emerge.
