Wow, MRT. You have only 1 RB in the top-25 at the position... Brandon Jackson at #20.

You're #2 in points with complete crap at RB. Thank god for Aaron Rodgers, Calvin Johnson, Antonio Gates, and Steve Johnson, right?

I did a final ranking and this is very very telling

Jag-MRT-Ozzy-You

Qb 2-4-3-14
WR 7-1-5-13
RB 1-10-6-5
Flex 2-1-6-9
TE 12-1-3-5
K 6-1-2-11
DST 2-1-9-7

MRT, I think something that would be compelling would be to see not only what % of total points came from the positions but what the absolute numbers were. That way, seeing that 20% of the points on Jaguar's high-scoring team came from WR's will be given a better frame of reference when compared to let's say what % percentage of points came from WR's on duke o' york's 800-point team.

Using your %'s and your total of 1443 points,

QB: 332 points
WR: 418 points
RB: 245 points
TE: 173 points
K: 115 points
D: 159 points

Very interesting to see how your WR's score vastly more than your RB's, even considering you were probably flexing WR's and how a single TE scored fairly close to your RB's.

Jag meanwhile had 577 points from RB's, though he presumably flexed them. Still significant difference.

Funny you mention that;

Jag got 28% of his RB points from Flex, I got 36% of my WR points from Flex

[Al B. Sure!]

MRT. 4th at QB, 1st at WR, 1st at TE, 1st at K, 1st at D but you're damned 10th at RB screwed you Great drafting at every other position.

And so it shows that my sucky team is actually fairly middle of the pack but Brett Favre and Randy Moss screwed the **** out of me.

[Al B. Sure!]

I'm actually curious now who had worse receivers than my Randy Moss/Michael Crabtree/Jabar Gaffney combo. Who is 14th at WR points?

[MRT144]

Famous Celebs. Oh and I had a typo. I'm #2 defense, Jag is #1

[Al B. Sure!]

Oh wow. Joncha's WR's are Welker (who he acquired with the Orton trade), Lee Evans, Robert Meachem, and Sidney Rice. Yeah. That's pretty bad, too No wonder picking up Welker improved his scoring so much even though Welker has been blah all year.

Definitely should have gone WR instead of 3 QB.

[MRT144]

As for % of points derived from each position here are the league wide averages

qb-24%
wr-26%
rb-24%
te-8%
k-7%
DST-10%

This is why when you and snoopy both have 15% of your points from QB, it informs me that you're much weaker there than other positions.

[MRT144]

One of the curious things about my team is that I've only drafted 2 of the receivers I play all the time; Colston and Calvin Johnson. Mark Clayton, Steve Johnson and Kenny Britt were all free agent acquisitions. For that matter, all my RBs I drafted are gone and all my current ones are Free agent pickups.

Nice. I have Favre and Snoopy has Cutler.

Hey, Jrabbit, aren't those your QB's in IDP league?

That's what I'm saying! It's like, even though the trade somewhat worked out for him, he would have done a ton better, along with 2 other teams if he hadn't picked QBs like that.

Yep. Now rostering Kitna as well. It's been a brutal season in that league for me.
Should be playoff bound in my other two at least...

Props then because you've been very good with waiver wire pickups. Goes to show you that the waiver wire is where you win at fantasy football.

MRT, if you still have my breakdown, could you post it? Would like to see it.

Depends on the team, I think Jag has pretty much the players he drafted.

I just rostered Derek Anderson Starting him over Favre this week.
