Finished my second fantasy football draft about an hour ago. I feel... OK about it. I had to once again use the "skip RBs until later" strategy, because I was drafting eighth and all the elite backs were already taken.
What I like about Yahoo FF over ESPN FF is that Yahoo attempts to editorialize your choices, giving grades to your league's drafting and also trying to project a winner.
Surprisingly, even though I got a "B" for my draft, Yahoo predicts that I'll finish first in the league. Ha! Since this prediction will no doubt fail horribly, I can at least enjoy the moment while it lasts. :))
Yahoo's summary and prediction of the season based on my draft:
Draft Summary
This draft by JenX was like a finely tuned Peyton Manning-led offense, with all the pieces falling into place. Just like Peyton's offense, JenX is expected to score a lot of points this season and finish first in Pigskin League at 11-2-0 (1,261 points). They clearly wanted to put together a wide receiver corps early, using three of their first five selections on Julio Jones (first round), Odell Beckham Jr. (second round), and Jordan Matthews (fourth round). They put together the lowest-scoring QB pair in the league, as they have Matt Ryan and Marcus Mariota on the roster.
Fantasy Football is such a crapshoot. Even if you draft someone who should be good, there's no guarantee they won't have a drop off, or not be injured, or whatever. Plus there are all the rookies who may or may not be good.
Anyway, here's my team for Yahoo:
