2011 FFS Expert League Draft
By Andy Boyum
.
My 2011 Fantasy Football season is officially underway. Unfortunately, it did not get quite the jump out of the gate that I was expecting.
.
This season I was honored with the invitation to represent LestersLegends.com in the FFS Expert League, and received the 4th overall-pick. I was very much looking forward to making a good showing.
.
Instead, what happened next, was the fantasy-footballers equivalent of the Quick-Pick Power-ball ticket. The dreaded “Auto-Draft!”
.
Due to technical difficulties I am forced to play with the hand I was dealt, but quite frankly…I am more than okay with that. So here’s how we ended up…
.
This is a 12-team 50-50 PPR league with all TD’s worth 6 points.
.
.
Adrian Peterson – 1.4: Charles or McCoy would have been the real pick, but not disappointed at all.
Philip Rivers – 2.21: Not complaining one bit.
Shonn Greene – 3.28: Would have seriously looked at V-Jax or Wallace here.
DeAngelo Williams – 4.45: I would have taken Finley, but I’m good with the value.
Jeremy Maclin – 5.52: Had a bit of a moment on this one…would have taken Clark for sure…sleeper potential!
Owen Daniels – 6.69: What do ya do?
Sidney Rice – 7.76: WOW…Julio Jones was right there whatever Yahoo Rankings!
Malcolm Floyd – 8.93: Good value here considering.
Mike Tolbert – 9.100: Again good value at 100.
Baltimore D – 10.117: With our scoring system, gotta get one of the last top defenses on the board.
.
I filled out the remainder of the roster with Danny Amendola, Willis McGahee, Jerome Simpson, Donovan McNabb, Ronnie Brown, Rob Bironas and Jermaine Gresham.
.
Not the most desirable of PPR lineups, but I’m determined to make a go of it. We’re going to make a good run! With 8 teams advancing to the Post-Season, I like my 66.7% chances.
