    Yeah me too, I think I am going to cut Tavon Austin and put in the Jets D. DET D could workout for you too also. But Rex's stat against rookie QBs has me interested.

    I traded my first 7 rounds of draft picks for the Number 1 overall pick. I drafted Jay Feely with that pick. People were shocked for some reason.

    Then I got news that he was released by the Cardinals.

    Then I felt stupid.

    Too bad it's not 2010 when Feely ran for a touchdown, scored on a fake field goal against the Denver Broncos, then proceeded to kick a career-high five field goals in the game.

    Someone drafted Ladanian Tomlinson Sunday night in the 15th round. ESPN has him ranked in the top 300.

    Bold, no. Checkmark in the crazy box.

    Now that's weird. Why does ESPN even have him listed? He hasn't played in 2 years.

    ESPN basically has everyone listed that's ever played an NFL down in the last ten years. Looking through it when I was autodrafting, the pick list is like 3500+ deep :p

    In my non PPR ten man league, Russell Wilson was drafted in round one, and Andrew Luck at the top of round two . Two reaches if you ask me; I was able to get Rivers in eound 7, and tons of good fantasy QB's were available I round ten.

    Guys screwing up led to me getting Alshon, Dez, and Antonio Brown at the flex position. :)

    Someone just picked up Josh Gordon from waivers in my redraft league. Lol.

    I'd say my boldest moves were taking Julius Thomas in the 2nd and then Reggie Wayne and Hakeem Nicks back to back in the 6th and 7th. My other league I came in as replacement and the other was an auction draft. Boldest move there was going balls out to get Jimmy Graham.

    That isn't too crazy considering there's talk Gordon's suspension may be reduced or eliminated if the NFL gets HGH testing. I picked him up in the one league he was actually available (only dropped my backup LB'er for him). If the NFL does reinstate him or reduce the suspension it'll be absolutely crazy the number of fantasy leagues that get decided because someone randomly drafted him in the last round or was the first guy to get to FA to stash him.
