I have a live draft tomorrow and it looks like I will have to decide between Gore and Steven Jackson at number 6...any opinions? I love Jackson, but I am worried about his td total...only had 4 last year.

Wes I'd def take Gore no question about it. Now if whoever picks 5th takes Gore then I'd take Andre Johnson over Turner or Jackson.

Should I start Maclin or Spiller as my flex for the 1st week? Spiller is going to get the start with Lynch and Jackson injuries.

Spiller. Maclin is a wildcard this early in the season. He isnt the #1, so until he is established I wouldnt count on him. #2 WRs are inconsistent unless they are established and in an offense that will get them point week in week out (Indy, Arizona last couple years, etc).

just did a 10 team Auction, here's my team (this is my first auction ever):

QB: Eli Manning, Carson Palmer
RB: Frank Gore, Adrian Peterson, Lesean McCoy, Brandon Jacobs, Steve Slaton, Michael Bush
WR: Brandon Marshall, Michael Crabtree, Austin Collie, Bernard Berrian, Laurent Robinson
TE: Jason Witten
K: Ryan Longwell
DEF: Ravens


It's a standard (non PPR) league. I was shocked at the WR's prices. Andre Johnson (58) went for the same price as AP (58) and Frank Gore (53) and Eli Manning (5) combined.

Did I approach this right? I'm not as deep as I'd like to be, but these RB's were going for $1 a piece (Slaton and Bush) and I couldn't pass them up.

also, i had $0 left at the end, is that good? one guy had like 45 bucks left.

j crazy thats a nice team. Im shocked you got AP that cheap normally he goes for $10+ more. Johnson stock has really been rising this summer and I see him going for more and more every auction draft so 58 doesnt surprise me too much. And yes you want to have 0 dollars left or close to it, having $45 is way to much left over I want to see what his team looks like.

his team is very deep. he's got 12 guys that I would consider solid #2's his RB are Benson, Moreno, and Harrison. His WR's are very deep Wayne (which he way over paid for IMO ($43)), Boldin, Breaston, and MSW (he may have k. Walter too, i forget).

Ah I see he probably waited and just got those guys pretty cheap. And 43 is a lot for Wayne but he had the money to spend so its not too bad. j crazy when you put a guy up for bid did you put up someone you wanted? I see a lot of people doing that when they are new to auctions my advice is never put up a guy you want unless its later in the draft.

the first person I nominated was nate kaeding, because I wanted him, but didn't want to spend more than $1 for him, he sold for $6. so then I just kept going until I got the kicker I wanted the most for $1. Did the same with Defenses (I nominated the Jets for $1 and they sold for $10). IMO i got the guys I wanted at those positions, but I also made others waste money.
