So, my first year doing football for TSN.

What's a good draft strategy?

Havent studied anything at all this year but here is a general strategy.

Running Backs - Studs
QBs- Decent to Studs
WR - Cheapies
TEs- Cheapie with a late bye.
K - Cheapie with a late bye
Def - Stud based on first one or two matchups. Save a trade for this every week.

Thanks for the help.

So people swap defense every week?

So, I am playing TSN for the first time in about 6 years. Last time was when it was "Smallworld". Anyway, I am excited to play.

I remember part of the strategy was that people came on this board and spoke of players to buy, sell, and talk trading.....for max value every week and also just to get good advice, etc.

Does that happen still? is it too early to buy and sell the rosters?

When does the discussion start and where?

I remember people would show there opening day roster and show off, or just to compare?

Can someone elaborate?

Rookies will be added to the game once TSN has a better idea of what the values should be based on pre-season games.

TLE: I'm sure that people will start talking more as soon as we get about 2 weeks away.

Sorry, again, this is my first time playing TSN Football. Why RB studs over QB studs?

[7] No preseason stats in the sortables. For football, preseason stats are probably less meaningful than in any other sport.

Will someone analyze my team, please? I really dunno what I'm doing for Football.

Here's what I got so far:

QB: Garrard, D.
QB: Delhomme, J.

WR: Hester, D.
WR: Mason, D.
WR: Jackson, D.

RB: Tomlinson, L.
RB: Westbrook, B.
RB: Perry, C.

TE: Scheffler, T.

K: Folk, N.

D: Indianapolis

I'm .9 million under the cap.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :) I really don't know wtf I'm doing.

Alright, I'm back in too.

I couldn't resist taking Royal out of Denver as a cheapie $1mil
WR.
I also picked up Devin Hester for 3.15mil. I think you still get
return yards in TSN.

My QBs are McNabb for 7mil whom I think will have a great year
and
Jake DelHomme for 5.75mil

Yeah, I did the Ricky Williams experiment for a cheap $4mil and
I managed to bag
Westbrook at 7mil in the process.

Lastly, I round out the Minny D at 4.85mil and

I end up with .5mil in the bank. Let's see what happens?

I just swapped out Delhomme for Warner, saving me .75mil.

Warner plays SF while Delhomme plays SD. Big difference there.
Delhomme won't have Steve Smith. Warner has Fitz and Boldin. Big
difference.

Of course, with my luck, I have sealed the fate of Warner and he'll
be injured after the first snap, just after he goes 0-1 with 1 INT.
Delhomme of course battles back in OT for 450 yards and 5 TDs.
