    My autodraft FChat II got a B, my live draft FChat I got a B. I think my team is better than that, they dinged me hard not taking a QB early rounds, but think I will be OK don't think it matters as much if you can't grab a top 4-6 QB early rounds, then OK to wait.

    They usually ding you for not picking two kickers and defenses as well.

    Hope you are right. I have autodrafted everything this year. Haven't had a chance to even look at who was drafted yet.

    Me neither.

    Sure, you can pick a #1 stud in the first 2 rounds, but all it takes is
    one injury to kill it.
    Take Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Rothliesberger, Ryan out, and you have taken out
    Gronk, Jordy, Thomas, Antonio, Julio from performing as much as you need them to.
    Take out Carson Palmer or Ben and you take out David Johnson and LeVeon because
    now the defenses will key on those two.

    I did a mock 14 team draft last night, I had the 2nd pick, by the time I got to my second
    pick at the end of the 2nd round, I was screwed... and it got worse from there.

    The team I am hawking a few posts up is a 6 team league, down from 8 originally.

    Well hopefully David Johnson stays healthy because he was my #1 pick in FC1!

    I joined the league you linked in your last post.

    Thank you, but we are still short two teams.

    Nicholas, the issue is if you are in a 14 team league, or even a 12 team league, the parity drops
    off pretty damned quick, if you pick #1 or #2, and then you don't pick again for 26-27 picks,
    and you lose one of your first two picks, you are in deep doggie doo-doo.

    I just have a 6 team league so it SHOULD be ultra-competitive, with every team having a stacked bench.

    I'm not sure who runs Dream Weavers in Fchat II, but if you read this, don't forget to swap out Winston before your backup starts...

    I kicked him out of FerrariChat I after not active last year, that was his wife's account in FerrariChat II, I gave him opportunity again after he begged to take over her account because she wasn't active. Well, looks like he won't be active this year in II either, he's gone forever. I have told him in person 4-5 times in last month.

    Sorry....

    I learned long ago not to take any player with health issues in prior seasons, and it's playing true this season already:

    Julio Jones, Marriota, Gronk, Jordan Reed, Bradford, Corey Coleman, David Johnson, Derek Carr (Romo Jr.)...

    It just seems like VERY few players have ONE injury that keeps them out of games for their entire careers,
    we can pretty-much count on the same guys going down for a few games every year, if not every other year.

    Perhaps, but I think Johnson's injury was a bit of a fluke. How many players can you recall missing games with dislocated wrists in the past decade?

    My FC1 team is getting ravaged by injuries this year. My starting QB (Carr) is out for 2-6 weeks, both starting RBs are out for basically the season (Johnson and Cook), starting TE (Olsen) is out for probably another four weeks at minimum, and I've got a few other players who are questionable on a weekly basis. It really sucks when someone like Olsen goes down, because he'll be back this season and there's not really a better TE available, but he's just sitting on my roster taking up space.

    Believe me, i feel your pain.
    I had Dalvin Cook on two teams, and David Johnson on just one.
    In fantasy football there is a provision to have 'IR' spots to move guys to that do not count against
    your roster size, most leagues I am in have those.

    It doesn't matter if the injury is a fluke or not, those that get injured usually get injured every season, for whatever reason.
    The injury that put Tony Romo out for good was a fluke, Jammal Charles first knee injury was a fluke (slipping on the sidelines),
    and all the guys that rip up knees away from the ball in non-contact are flukes, too. ala Jordie Nelson 2 years ago, Dalvin Cook this year.

    Try to convince Rob to open up an IR spot next season.
    Actually, you can have multiple IR spots, in one of my other leagues we have 2 IR spots.

    yes, I think 1-2 IR spots would be fair.

    Somehow I am in 1st place in FC1. I have no idea how that happened but I will take it. All of my teams have been so unpredictable this year.

    I know it is just FC2, but I just beat you with a 62, grade D! That is pathetic (for both of us!) :D Here is a nice stat - Combined WR output for both teams, 6 players, 12 points! Nice!
