I have my list of players here that I want, and slowly but surely people are crossing them off.

Tapper have you thought about the weeks you are not going to have certain players playing? I am trying to mix up the teams I am recruiting from as best as possible.

Not particularly. I did note that Foster and Allen both miss week 10, but with a 14 man roster, I think I should always have 2-3 players who won't play and who I can dump to create space on the bench for a few top performers on their bye week.

And if for some reason I won't be able to fill all the blanks, then I lose one week and have a full-strength team in the other 15 .

Do you think other people plan around their bye week?

Bye weeks should always come into play. But shouldn't be your primary concern. If you know you have a big bye week coming up at a point you can start to stack the players that you need off of the waver wire in advance.

So you have your main players say picks 1 - 5 and then the rest are the ones you gamble with on the waiver wire?

Umm no. Pick the players that you want and if you have 3 or 4 that have the same bye weeks and if you didn't draft back ups then start to watch the waiver wire in advance and see if you can pluck off some guys to fill your holes. Or do as tapper says and eat that week.

Also, Venge, that was a pick straight from my cheatsheet.

What Gerhart?

[Tattersail_]

I had Cruz and Welker before Johnson.

[Tattersail_]

I had Sankey ahead of them both as well. It's later on in the picks I am going to struggle I think.

Yup. My go-to-guy if Allen wasn't available.
EDIT: well, I had Cruz also there. But... anyway.

That is funny I had him as my go to for my rb 2 and decided that I didn't want to chance him being there in the next round.

I actually like the upcoming 5 rounds (5-10) the best. It's where you can reach for picks without damaging your roster too much, or wait for other players to fall deep. It's also where the consensus on picks goes out of the window completely.

He's one of the first underrated players to appear in the ADP list right now, imho. I guess it's just that he went to Jacksonville. It's like falling of the edge of the world.

I predicted those picks. I think 2 out of Cruz, Welker and Roddy White will go next.

Totally true. Them and the raiders are like the black holes of the NFL

[Tattersail_]

I just noticed my plans for my next two players had them have the same bye week.

[Tattersail_]

Why is there a fricking bye week?

So that injured players can heal and so that players can rest a bit and reformat there offense or defense if they need to.

At the least, the Raiders know it themselves.
