Help! Beginner, where do I start?

Well that was a lot of fun, going between Computer, Ipad and Notepad.
I was pick 5 in the Snake Draft. I will list my round and picks below:
R1 (5) - L Bell RB
R2 (16) - D Thomas WR
R3 (25) - F Gore RB
R4 (36) - M Gordon RB
R5 (45) - A Cooper WR
R6 (56) - J Randle RB
R7 (65) - T Romo QB
R8 (76) - B Marshall WR
R9 (85) - C Ivory RB
R10 (96) - M Bryant WR
R11 (105) - V Davis TE
R12 (116) - T Coleman RB
R13 (125) - E Decker WR
R14 (136) - S Vereen RB
R15 (145) - C Palmer QB
R16 (156) - Cincinnati Bengals DEF
R17 (165) - D Bailey K

I ended up with 7 RB's, 5 WR's, 2 QB's, 1 TE, 1 DEF & 1 K

Any feedback/criticism more than welcome.

Certainly has. I don't think any team could recruit as many supporters in one off season even if they had won a Super Bowl than the 49ers did by recruiting Hayne.
A lot of Aussies were like me watched NFL and College for years or decades but had no real ties to a particular team. Now we do.

At this stage starting team week 1?

RB: Gore
RB: Ivory
WR: Thomas
WR: Cooper
TE: Davis
W/R: Randle
Def: Bengals
K: Bailey

Not a bad team, but you gotta try and upgrade at RB. Trade Ivory for someone

Thanks. I do have Bell on my bench for first 2 weeks because of suspension. Should I still trade Ivory out?

Already drafted by someone else.

Changed my team on projected best score.
Changed out QB - Romo to Palmer
And W/R - Randle to Decker.

I assume you're using Yahoo? Be wary of their projected scores, they're not the most accurate.

A helpful tool may be Who Should I Start? http://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/start/carson-palmer-tony-romo.php It's an amalgamation of the opinions of a bunch of so-called fantasy experts. It gives you the wisdom of the crowd, if you're familiar with that idea from statistics. It's a decent resource. FWIW, 99% of them would start Romo over Palmer.

You have to start Romo here. The Cowboys own the Giants on opening game days. Plus Romo had a career year last year with a messed up back. Cant ignore those type of numbers.

Thanks guys.
I've changed it back.
I'm doing an NFL.com fantasy one and did look at that link earlier when investigating why it had it as Romo to score less. The thing I could find in favour for Palmer is that he is up against a terrible defense. But I did read people's comments that Romo owns the Giants every year.

OK I Love Fantasy Football !!!

I won my first week, even with some ordinary scores from Gore 3.1 and Davis 4.7. And my WR of Thomas 6.0 and Cooper 4.7 weren't much better.
I was worried about going with Romo 22.14 when my benched Palmer scored 25.68 and in the fourth quarter Romo was only on about 10. But what an exciting finish, showing me I got a great 7th round pick with Romo.
I'm giving Gore another week to decide what to do with him, luckily I have Le'Veon Bell back from suspension next week.
But unfortunately our own TE Davis I gave him the flick and picked up Free Agent Tyler Eifert.
Anyway i'm not here to just give an update of how it went.

My Question is Waiver Wires, what is it and how does it work?
I'm 6th on the list from my Draft order. How do I use it, when can I use it?

the wavier wire is where available players can be claimed as replacements for your current team. for example, if gore is having a bad season and you want to pick up a player that you think will have a better week/season you can use the add/drop feature to make the switch. however, depending on where you are at in the waiver wire draft order your transaction may or may not go through. this week you are 6th in line so there are five other teams that have a chance to pick up that player first. the waiver wire draft order changes weekly; how its determined is based on your league settings.

wavier wire transaction are usually processed on Wednesday so make sure your request is put in by Tuesday at the latest.

Awesome, thanks for that. Makes sense.
I did drop one player and got one via Free agents.

Boy I bet you're glad you have Palmer now that Romo's on IR (injured reserve) be sure to pick up a back up if a good one is still out there, Palmer gets hurt a lot.
