In my 3 leagues this year I went 2nd, 3rd, and 5th with the 5th place one me somehow losing 5 in a row to go 6-7 and get stuck in consolation. My biggest flaws were probably:
1. Drafting too many offensive weapons on a single team (in this case, the Falcons), only to find out that when Julio went down Ryan, Gonzalez, Steven Jackson, and Roddy White all became pretty much unreliable.
2. I drafted and held onto Tavon and Lamar Miller too long in my Yahoo league; eventually dumped them for better vets, but there was a point where I would've been able to maybe grab Alshon Jeffrey had I had extra space.
And out of curiosity, do any Patriots fans here know what happened to their defense after their bye week? I know prior to Week 10/11 they were suffering from losing Talib, Mayo, and Wilfork but I thought the cracks really started showing the past few weeks.
