Suicide/Coma Teams

[TKOSpikes]

Feel free to line out your rosters here for any critics, praise or in my case, pure boredom. If I'm the only one who feels the need to do so, so be it....

2014

Suicide A
QB - Peyton Manning
RB - C.J. Spiller, Trent Richardson, Pierre Thomas, Khiry Robinson
WR - A.J. Green, Michael Floyd, Jermaine Kearse, Kenny Stills, Rueben Randle
TE - Jordan Cameron
K - Greg Zuerlein
DST - Patriots, Bills

Week 4 byes: Peyton, AJG, Floyd, Kearse, Legatron
I'm higher on Kearse than most, but that's okay. Getting Randle in the last round might turn out to be my best move. Peyton alone could win me some weeks when you factor in injuries and byes later in the year....
Overall, I don't love my team, which is why you won't see me drafting Peyton in the first in any other leagues... this kind of league I thought it was nice to get him though.


Coma 1
QB - Geno Smith, Mike Vick
RB - Mark Ingram, Bryce Brown, Latavius Murray, C.J. Anderson, Justin Forsett
WR - Aaron Dobson, Andre Caldwell, Malcolm Floyd, Davante Adams
TE - Zach Ertz
K - Nick Folk
DST - Lions

Too many Jets for my liking, but I could luck out with Vick and Folk is steady. Have WR4's for Peyton and A-Rodge for upside and WR2's for Brady (hopefully) and Rivers. All my backs are kind of 3rd options (maybe Anderson gets back up duty), so I need help there. Loving Ertz this year and I think the Lions surprise... and like I said in the coma thread, they don't go to Lambeau in fantasy. (week 17)

 

[SmokingMonkey]

I'll play with you TKO.....

Suicide 1
QB - N Foles, J Cutler
RB - Z Stacy, R Bush, B Tate, B Pierce
WR - Demaryius T, K Allen, K Wright, T Williams, D Hopkins
TE - Rudolph
K - B Walsh
DST - TB Bucs

Pre-draft goal of nabbing 2 stud WRs...complete. I also think I should be in good shape at WR3 between my other guys. Pretty weak at RB, but that was how the board went for me. Could get really lucky with good health from Bush and Tate, who knows. Even though I waited for my QB, I still was able to get my dark horse for a top 5 finish in Foles, and my dark horse for a top 10 finish in Cutler. Say what you want about Lovie Smith, but boy did CHI DEF play a hell of a lot better when he was their HC than they do now. I'm thinking TB D is respectable this year, even with ATL and NO in their division. Not seeing a juggernaut here, but I should at least compete for a playoff spot, barring a rash of injuries, of course.


Coma 1
QB - S Bradford, R Fitzpatrick
RB - J Hill, J Todman, K Carey, D Brown
WR - S Smith, J Hunter, R Woods, A Holmes, J Gordon
TE - M Lewis
K - N Novak
DST - Arizona

Just like TKO and his Jets, when this draft was dwindling down, I was looking at Ace Sanders as my WR5, and Chad Henne as my QB2. Couldn't take that many Jags on one team, so I went Josh Gordon and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Wish I would have went Ace Sanders and Brian Hoyer right now, but that's how it goes. A collection of backups is what it is. Decent WRs that should at least be on the field, Hill/Todman/Carey are all direct backups that should get a few carries per game, at least. I guess you can't ask for much more. I figure if I win very many, it will be on the backs of Bradford and 'Zona DST.

 

[Bandit]

I'm game

Suicide 1
QB - Ben Roethlisberger, Russell Wilson
RB - Marshawn Lynch, Arian Foster, Rashad Jennings, Shane Vereen
WR - Jordy Nelson, Larry Fitzgerald, Vincent Jackson, Dwayne Bowe
TE - Greg Olsen, Dennis Pitta
K - Greg Zuerlein
DST - Cardinals D/ST​

Honestly I waited on a quarterback and people were drafting backups before I even got my first one
which was in round 9, so I am pretty pleased to end up with Big Ben and Russell Wilson as the 14th
and 16th QB's taken. Absolutely love my running backs, just couldn't pass up on Jennings and Vereen
in the 6th and 7th rounds. I actually love my wide receivers also, Vincent Jackson in the 5th round
was a steal and talk about steals, Dwayne Bowe in the 12th! Got the tight end I coveted in Olsen
since Cam has to throw the ball to somebody in Carolina and I wasn't planning on drafting Pitta except
for the fact that he was still there in the 13th round.​

Suicide 2​

QB - Josh McCown, Mike Glennon
RB - Christine Michael, Stepfan Taylor, Ahmad Bradshaw, C.J. Anderson
WR - Jarrett Boykin, Brandon Lafell, Jerricho Cotchery, Josh Gordon, Andrew Hawkins
TE - Ladarius Green
K - Dan Bailey
DST - Chiefs D/ST​

At quarterback I am happy with McCown and I made sure to get Glennon just in case, but Tampa's wide receivers are too talented not to want the guy throwing them the ball. Wish I was in Coma A with the first pick so I could have nabbed Carson Palmer or Sam Bradford. I'm actually as pleased as I could be with my running backs. I have Christine Michael who backs up a guy that might retire, Stepfan Taylor who backs up a guy that won't be able to handle the full workload as the starter, Ahmad Bradshaw who was by far the best RB in Indy last year and C.J. Anderson who might be the biggest steal of all of them between garbage time points and if Peyton gets pissed off about fumbles again this year. At WR I like Boykin, Lafell, and Cotchery this year and of course Josh Gordon will be huge even if he only plays 8 games but I did back him up with Andrew Hawkins because somebody has to catch the damn ball in Cleveland. At tight end I got a guy that should have gone in the Suicide draft and ditto that for my kicker and defense. Interested to see how it all turns out, but I love both my drafts.​

You can't have a goal of nabbing 2 stud receivers, and be happy with your running backs, it's just impossible, although Bush was really great last year when he held on to the damn ball.

 

[SmokingMonkey]

I'm higher on Kearse than most, but that's okay. Getting Randle in the last round might turn out to be my best move.

I'd bet Randle ends up in your WR3 spot more than anyone else. Unless he leapfrogs Floyd and becomes your WR2. Once you picked him, I was kicking myself for getting over anxious with my DeAndre Hopkins pick way earlier in the draft.

 

[leftypower]

Suicide 1
QB - Kaps, A. Smith
RB - AP, Gore, Mathews, MJD
WR - Jeffery, A. Brown, Hilton, Boldin
TE - Witten
DST - Bengals, Steelers
K - Tucker

All in all, not dissatisfied with this team although I don't think it is the best of the bunch. I'm thinking a middle of the pack finish, but with injuries and stupidness having such a major impact on this league it could rise into the top 3-4. Drafting from the one spot is really a disadvantage this year IMO. There is no clear-cut guy who is that much better than 3-4 others. But since I've never had AP that's what I did and pleased I could. The remainder of my RB's are either health concerns or past their prime but what the heck. If a couple of them hold up I'll be happy. As for my WR's very happy with Jeffery and Brown. Hilton is a bit of a wildcard but I still expect he will be the Colts WR to own, hopefully he will be more consistent this year. Boldin just keeps plugging along and will be my bye-week/injury filler. Witten is Witten, and after the top up-and-comings I think he is still the best of the rest. I took two defenses based upon their matchups, both are pretty darn good and I will not have to play either against high flying offenses like the Broncos. Tucker as my kicker, Raven and won my two games last year - nuff said. Waited until the 9th rd to get a QB and ended up with Kaps. I like his weapons and resulting upside. Alex Smith is just steady and has a matchup on SF's bye.



Coma 2
QB - Locker, Whitehurst
RB - JStew, L. Dunbar, R. Helu, D. Brown
WR - D. Hopkins, M. Jones, D. Baldwin, Stevie Johnson
TE - D. Walker
DST - Ravens !!!
K - M. Bryant

Pretty happy with this team, the move to Coma 2 lead to some surprises and guys available that weren't in Coma 1. Specifically, in the WR ranks. I was able to land three pretty good number 2 guys with Hopkins, Marvin Jones and Baldwin. The Stevie pick was as a bye week filler, but an injury in SF puts him in as an every down player. Given what was available, very happy with the core. I did toy with grabbing baby Hawk for several rounds but his bye week just didn't fit with what I had. My RB's are about as solid as you can get picking in the 40th best range. JStew is always a wildcard on just how long he stays healthy but you can't deny the talent and potential to be the lead back. From there I pretty much focused on 3rd down guys with Dunbar and Helu. D. Brown has a role as backup to Mathews and Woodhead so potential for weekly production is definitely there. I was torn on TE between L. Green and Walker but opted for the potential of double TD points. Locker is a guy that has tons of athletic talent but never stays healthy. I just viewed him as the best available at my pick and knew no one would take his backup Whitehurst. New QB coach may be able to keep him upright. Ravens DST was because I believe, plus they do not play the Broncos. Matt Bryant was the pick at kicker only because he is consistent and the Falcons have to be better than last year.

[bksballer89]

Can someone post my team? Thanks

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Suicide 2.
QB- Aaron Rodgers, Andy Dalton
RB- Doug Martin, Bishop sankey, Lamar Miller, Stevan Ridley
WR- Keenan Allen, Sammy Watkins, Kelvin Benjamin, Jeremy Maclin
TE- Jordan Cameron, Jace Amaro
D- Houston
K- Matt Prater

Just like TKO, i paid a price for wanting an elite QB... My WRs and RBs are a little weak... But It flows with potential. 2 rookie WRs are in great situations for them to be fantasy studs... and Sankey is expected to be the bellcow... If all works out as projected team milk will be scary good... I am very content with this team!!!

Coma2
QB- EJ Manuel, Teddy Bridgewater
RB- Carlos Hyde, Andre williams, Charlie Sims, Jerrick Mckinnon
WR-Jeremy kerley, Jordan Matthews, Marqise Lee, Rod Streater, Martavis Bryant
TE- Richard Rodgers
D- CHicago Bears
K- Shaun Suisham

Clearly went rookie crazy, with 9 of my 12 position players being rookies... I see each rookie having the opportunity to be fantasy relevant... I missed out on a couple players i wanted, but overall i am content with my team... and believe my team is the definition of the coma league... BOOM OR BUST

 

[bksballer89]

Suicide 2

QB-Tom Brady & Philip Rivers
RB- Charles, Bernard, Pierre Thomas, and Blount
WR- Victor Cruz, Wright, Sanders, Steve Smith, and Kenny Stills
TE- Julius Thomas
D- Bengals
K- The dude from the Eagles

 

[averagejoe]

The results of the two Suicide and Coma drafts: 277 players drafted.

Other observations:

Gates went undrafted in both the S1 and Coma1.
Britt went undrafted in both the S2 and Coma2. I like Britt. Reunited with Fisher, should be interesting.
Josh "Rap Sheet" Gordon was drafted in both leagues, and then was arrested for DUI.
Coma1 drafted 14 rookies. Coma2 drafted 13 rookies.

When will the rosters be available on espn?

 

[leftypower]

Coma 2
QB - Locker, Whitehurst
RB - JStew, L. Dunbar, R. Helu, D. Brown
WR - D. Hopkins, M. Jones, D. Baldwin, Stevie Johnson, M. Floyd
TE - D. Walker
DST - Ravens !!!
K - M. Bryant

Pretty happy with this team, the move to Coma 2 lead to some surprises and guys available that weren't in Coma 1.Specifically, in the WR ranks.I was able to land three pretty good number 2 guys with Hopkins, Marvin Jones and Baldwin.The Stevie pick was as a bye week filler, but an injury in SF puts him in as an every down player.Given what was available, very happy with the core.I did toy with grabbing baby Hawk for several rounds but his bye week just didn't fit with what I had.My RB's are about as solid as you can get picking in the 40th best range.JStew is always a wildcard on just how long he stays healthy but you can't deny the talent and potential to be the lead back.From there I pretty much focused on 3rd down guys with Dunbar and Helu.D.

Can't believe I leftoff Floyd. So surprised he was there so late. May turn out to be my best pick if he can stay healthy. A big if but could be the biggest reward.

 

[Yellow Fuzzies]

Suicide A
QB - Stafford, Dalton
RB - Forte, DeMarco Murray, DeAngelo Williams, Christine Michael
WR -Torrey Smith, M. Colston, Hakeem Nicks, Riley Cooper, Marvin Jones
TE - Gronk
K - Dan Bailey
DST - Chiefs

Took RBs with first two picks, grabbed 4th best QB then got Gronk who can carry a fantasy squad when healthy. Waited on WRs but not unhappy with the results-I like Cooper and M Jones as #4 & #5 WRs. Chiefs were top fantasy DST in 2013. Overall happy with my team.

Coma 1
QB - Carson Palmer, Jake Locker
RB - Ahmad Bradshaw, Devonta Freeman, Dexter McCluster, Shonne Greene
WR - James Jones, Rod Streater, Stevie Johnson, Andrew Hawkins, Nate Washington
TE - Martellus Bennett
K - Robbie Gould
DST - Packers

Got lucky with my draft position to pick up Carson Palmer at QB. As well as I could have expected with my RBs- Bradshaw could be very good and Dexter is the wild card catching passes out of the backfield. I need the Raider WRs to perform and Bennett to remain a favorite of Cutler. I should be OK in Coma assuming no devastating injuries. Decided to punt a week in this format. I have 8 of my 14 positions with week nine byes.

Im with Bks...no roster on ESPN page yet. Curious when that will happen.

Once ESPN allows it, I'm sure they will get the teams loaded. Waiting on their site admin I guess.

 

[Ram Tough]

Suicide A
QB- RG3, Philip Rivers
RB- Eddie Lacy, Andre Ellington, Shane Vereen, Darren Sproles
WR- Dez Bryant, Vincent Jackson, Emmanuel Sanders, Kelvin Benjamin, Danny Amendola
TE- Dennis Pitta
K- Adam Vinatieri
Def- Saints

I like my team.. Unlike last year i drafted depth at RB which should be helpful throughout the year. In this format where there is no flex and you start 2 Rb/3 WR per week, I feel it is a must to have 3 solid WRs. Hopefully Sanders can have a breakout/career year which i think he will with Manning at the helm. I wasn't happy landing the Saints D, I think they will be much improved but would rather have a solid Defense. Just wasn't able to pull the trigger on one earlier in the draft. Can't wait to see how my team pans out against the rest of the League as we get going.

Good to see you back on board. .... I think you have a very solid team (as usual)

Thank You Lefty, I just have been really busy the past couple of weeks. Finally things are starting to slow down. Missed being on the Board can't wait for Training Camp to start!!
