Got your email invite, but not sure if I'm in the league or if you're full, or what.

Sounds good to me. My email is psychoclown692@yahoo.com Send me an invite if you're still looking for more owners.

Looks interesting. Scoring is fairly similar to my main league, so I'm game if you still need an owner.

Gore, Henry, and Edge give you a nice trio of backs. Brees is an excellent QB. I'm not thrilled about Roy Williams or Reggie Brown, but I don't see them as a glaring weakness either. Other than James, your depth is a little lacking. Favre and Grossman are both considerable risks at QB. I think both of them could surprise people a little, but they are probably equally as likely to regress even more.

Another option would be to shop Winslow and maybe another backup (maybe the injury prone Foster) to see if you can land an upgrade at WR3.

Wow, that's a nice stable of running backs. WR is solid, but not great. I like Cutler, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with him as my only QB. I'd try to peddle your RB surplus for a solid second option, if not an outright upgrade, at QB and maybe to add a little WR depth, depending on what the other teams in your league need.

The wildcard in this trade is Benson. Peterson is a long term gem, and Owens is a vet who probably only has a few top flight years left in him. Benson has shown flashes and he's in a great situation with the Bears. However, he hasn't exactly been durable and he has a knack for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Considering you're in a position to win now, and that Benson does have some potential to be a long term back for you, I'd pull the trigger.

I don't think I'd do it for three reasons. 1) I'm not big on Jamal Lewis at all. He wasn't very productive in run first Baltimore, and I fail to see how Cleveland is a better situation for him. 2) Your other top back, Westbrook, always makes me nervous. I wouldn't want him to be my #1 back going into the season. But him and Bush make a nice tandem, especially in a PPR league. 3) Driver should be good, but you also need to remember his numbers took a big drop when Cutler took over. Will they be able to click this year?

LT and LJ? W/Carson Palmer?! Wow. I'm nervous about LJ as a #1 RB, but as a #2 he looks REAL nice. Your recievers are a little thin. I'd probably try to move Hasselback for an upgrade there.

Rudi and Henry would be my picks. Rudi is rock solid consistent. Henry is a guy I was never a big fan of, but in Denver I like him a lot more. A lot of the other guys you listed have question marks. Can Maroney handle the full load? Will Westbrook stay healthy? Will Bush repeat or impove on last year when he's still splitting time with McAllister?

I like Cutler over Rivers, because I see more potential for big numbers from a QB in Denver than in SD, but I see them both as pretty close right now. However, the first trade proposal looks really good with upgrades for you at WR and RB.

I didn't mention this above, but we start 2 WR and 1 TE. Gates is so head and shoulders above every other TE, I had to take him in the 4th. In a league where you can go WR or TE, Gates isn't nearly as valuable.

TJ is definately the safer pick, but Colston has more potential upside as a #1 reciever on his team's high powered offense. I try to only have one gamble in my starting lineup. So you'll have to decide if you want Colston to the that gamble. (Plus you didn't say where you pick, is there any chance of Colston coming back to you in the 4th?)

Quarterback looks rough for you. I'm not a Vince Young fan at all, and Trent Green is a pretty iffy backup too. Plus Larry Johnson makes me real nervous this year with his past workload, his holdout, and his crumbling offensive line. I would've took Addai or Gore over him. On the plus side, Receiver looks deep for you. Gates, Driver, and Stallworth are a nice trio to have and Kevin Curtis has some real upside too. I also like Jerrious Norwood a lot.

I wouldn't let MJD go for Maroney. As you said, you can keep him forever and he will take over for Fred Taylor sooner or later. Him and Norwood look like the best keepers in your league.
