Kellys Heroes 0 Posted May 24, 2007 For this yr; we are only allowed to keep: 1 QB, 1 WR/TE, 1 WR/RB , 1 DL/LB, 1 DB, & 1 FLEX IDP. Since teams are only allowed to keep a max of 6 players (and most will keep less than that) and most of the top players will be dropped/redrafted due to their intial $; there is a lot of talent for you to collect. You will still be drafting about 25 players w/ the rookie draft. Next yr; every team will be able to keep who ever they want.. as long as they are under the cap and have enough roster room for the rookie draft. Here is the teams.... Total Cap is $500 Team B QB Plummer $13, Vick $30 RB Brown $152, Bush $110, McAllister $25 WR Chambers $73, Galloway $19, Stallworth $8, Wilford $25 DL Lewis $20, Thornton $4 2 FA DB Clements $2, Law $12, Taylor $15 1.02, 2.06, 3.02, & 3.03 Players stats from last yr: http://football8.myfantasyleague.com/2007/home/70512 Got to Players; then Player stats. email me at kellys_heroes01@yahoo.com Disclaimer • Please read these rules in their entirety.
