Fantasy Football/US Amateur

First, wanted to post my 2 fantasy football teams, think they're both fairly solid.

This team is a 14 team ppr league where I had the 13th pick.

QB: Drew Brees
RB: MJD
RB: Knowshon Moreno
WR: Dez Bryant
WR: Sidney Rice
Flex: Jordy Nelson
TE: Vernon Davis
Def: Jets D
K: Garret Hartley

Bench:

Michael Bush
Jerome Harrison
Mark Sanchez
Danario Alexander
Demarco Murray
Bernard Scott

Seems pretty solid for the most part, we'll see!

My 2nd team is the more important one (much more $), 12 team, 7 keepers league, I won the regular season last year but didn't make the super bowl and drafted 10th, non snake. The people in this league draft "poorly" imo, lol.


My keepers were:

Phillip Rivers
Arian Foster
S-Jax
Peyton Hillis
Jahvid Best
Larry Fitzgerald
Brandon Lloyd

My draft went

10th: Chad Ochocinco (seemed like a no-brainer since he was still there and I'm not huge on Lloyd)
22nd: Rashad Jennings (we'll see how mjd holds up)
32: Kevin Kolb (good value, keeper league, young, etc)
42: Jordy Nelson (pretty high on him this year)
52: Brandon Pettigrew (young, hopefully can break out after a solid season last year)
62: Jason Snelling
72: Greg Little
82: ATL D
92: Billy Cundiff


Pretty stoked about this team, felt like I got great value in the draft.


After Black Friday I've still been coaching/playing a decent amount of live poker, but was pretty bored and didn't necessarily know what I wanted to do as far as my career....I sold pharmaceuticals before I quit to play poker, but don't know what type of sales I'd like to go back in to. I was pretty bored and I caddied all through high school and college so decided I'd caddie at Erin Hills, a pretty awesome course in Wisconsin that is hosting the U.S. Open in 2017 and just had the U.S. Amateur...it's a lotta fun, $ is pretty solid, good workout (everything is a double, carry two bags), etc.

One of the main reasons I wanted to caddie there was because we get to play free golf out there ($200 to play, plus caddie fee, it's like $350 day), so a huge perk obviously. Also, I wanted to caddie in the U.S. Amateur. We just wrapped that up and made it to the Final 4 and lost in the semifinals to Patrick Cantlay, the #1 amateur in the world. It was a great/exciting week, beat Peter Uihlein in the quarterfinals (winner of the amateur last year), so overall it was awesome.

Anyways, hope everyone in Leggo is well, post any thoughts on my team(s)!

Didn't proofread at all b/c I'm hungover/tired, so the punctuation/spelling could be weird

1 looks solid for a 14 team league. knowshon looked pretty awful in week 1 though

2, rape on the keepers. sucks about sjax and foster so far but they should still play a good chunk of the season from what i understand. with so many keepers it doesn't really seem like the draft matters except for picking guys that might blow up in the next few years, assuming you'll be playing the league that long. why not an ingram or julio jones?
