Doc J for me. We have had some of the most amazing FF battles I have ever seen. I usually come out on the wrong end. Starting on Prozac this week-- The Great Ahman Green.

There's no way to tell, and at the risk of angering you, you need to click submit... ... and double check team home. I know this happened last season, and the person wasn't clicking submit. I haven't had any other complaints. Sorry, there's little I can do to help. I submitted week 4,5,6,7,8, lineups and double checked them. Looks good to me.

Congratulations on a fine start. I'm just giddy to see scooter (a 9er homer) grab Alex Smith to take over for Trent Green. I love fantasy football. My team sucked less than the team it beat. Being a big believer in a regression to the mean, I like my start.

From my AOL League Manager PMs

Couple things. This board gets brutally slow this time of year, and I avoid it. I never got email. I got a PM I rarely look at. You did the right thing posting here, but we have a message board at the league page, and we have the Owner's Stories option where you can post on top of the league home. Either of those would have been better. Anyway, I won't use this board much when the server is so slow. BoneYard, do you have any transactions that need reversing in order to restore Portis to his rightful owner? email = fftdpatron@yahoo.com liforc@aol.com also PMs at FBG are something I regularly catch. Sorry, I wasn't on top of this. I had all of my FF energies focussed on my local league yesterday and today. It is the true Chaos I Commish. Let's not make this a competitor, please.

That's impossible. I added him before the news. Also, it isn't my fault, AOL's fault or anyone's fault but yours if you're trying to execute waiver claims during open free agency.

It's working the way it's supposed to as far as I can tell. If you want to drop and add players, use Drop/Add Players.

League Manager has a mind of it's own on this, I think. I have the settings set the way I said I did. I have contacted tech support. I am sorry. Btw, this may be YOUR doing. If you go through "claims" you go through claims. You can find same said player in FA, and he is yours. I did this with one of my first moves. Check it out.

Owens in the 4th?! I've now completed three drafts and he's never made it to the 3rd. Mad value at WR 2 and 3, even if you don't like them.

Well, I couldn't wait as long as I hoped. My mystery WR is Bobby Engram. We'll see how this works out. I couldn't wait because what's been whispered all through camp has recently been publicized and people are starting to talk. I really need bye week coverage in week 3, and Engram gets the Giants crappy secondary (but fierce D-Line). I love the rest of his schedule which vaulted him over other week three matchups in consideration. I expect him to come out of the gates the way McCardell did for me last year. Burleson is struggling with the new system, QB timing, and drops. Jackson, while near studly, is nursing a bad knee that may be worse than expected. This offense moves the ball and puts up points. What's the whispers and story? Well, Bobby showed up bulked up and faster, not that he is a speedy wr. He has struggled with health off and on for a couple years and for the first time in awhile he's been 100% to work hard for a long time. He has been catching everything, and with Stevens and Jackson not around, he has been the star of the receiving corps, by a wide wide margin. The recently publicized tidbit referred to all the Seattle QBs sitting around for 40 minutes discussing how amazing Engram is. A few weeks ago it was a couple DBs saying they couldn't cover him. Eh, like I say, we'll see, but this is who I was targetting, and I scooped him up in numerous survivor/mocks over the summer. Scooter, It was a tough call, but Poop is available. I have way too much manlove for Norwood and Mewelde.

Just because I didn't gush over your team the way you did, doesn't mean I don't respect it.

Interceptions are a killer in this system. Favre will get you 23 one week and -4 the next. If you start him over Hasselbeck, I'll laugh, but his good game will tempt you. Enjoy.

Well said. lol Nice to know he has a quick hook with Parcells have dreams of Romostetler. As a Cowboy fan, I hope he lights it up. Though I wouldn't mind a thunderbolt coming down through the hole in the roof and striking TO the first time poses on the star. As a goider fearing you and scooter, I have to hope Glenn and Romo are greatness when your chosen Cowpokes implode.

Scoring system and depth of IDP starters are both necessary to answer this question. MacGregor's read and react series is a good read on the topic. I'm in two leagues where waivers are pretty much depleted at DL and LB, while the scraps at DB aren't bad, they aren't too exciting. These leagues start 8 and 11 IDPs, and you should draft them pretty early. In the start 8, Bulluck went in the 6th, and there was a steady flow of IDP draft picks every round thereafter. I'm in a league that only starts 4, and I won't take one until very late, because waivers are loaded with talent.

Acreed. But, I think for the most part we all took significant risks. Scooter, I don't overlook your team, but you "outfrothed" Deisel during the draft, and I'm not so sure I agree with some of your opinions stated as facts. As an example. When we added the weight to solos, Peppers tumbled in my rankings. It was simple math based on projections. He played 16 games last year and didn't have 40 solos. He is a bit like Champ Bailey, probably the best in the league at his position, but it doesn't necessarily translate to fantasy dominance. DL 16 in this system last season. In fact, my late pick, James Hall, outscored Peppers last year based on PPG. He missed three games, and Peppers outscored him by a point and a half on the season. Every season is a fresh start. I wouldn't proclaim any team as tops in any category just yet.

While I appreciate the vote of confidence, I am having serious buyer's remorse on several of my decisions. I think I see a key weakness on every team in this league, mine included. But it's usually those key strengths that matter the most, and we just have to wait and see who hit the homeruns. Should be a fun and interesting season. It's going to take some luck along the way for whoever prevails. Everybody has different projections/rankings/expectations, but I'll agree with DocJ. His team has some serious potential yet again.

He's going to get himself killed running that hard. iwishidraftedhim...

We've been discussing it in the Porkchop thread, but I figured some of you may not be following it.

Yeah, I saw Baskett live in Qualcomm last year. He and Jeff Webb put on an amazing display of NFL quality WR plays. Baskett took over towards the end and handed his team the win. He reportedly struggled at the Senior Bowl and ran a little slow at the combine, but no way he should have gone undrafted. The way the Eagles landed him was probably larceny. I put Priest on IR, and handcuffed Ahman. I nearly drafted Najeh instead of Priest, then the stinkin' Packers feature Najeh tonight so I couldn't wait on this slightly controversial move. If you guys have a big stink with it, I think you're sissies.

A pretty good shot too. And no Tex, Baskett is not my WR. I did however have him in the first round of my first NFL mock draft. How that cat went undrafted is just nuts.

Round 25 25.1--Priest Holmes, RB, KC--Zap 25.2--Paul Spicer, DL, Jac--Doyle 25.3--Shantae Spencer, DB, SF--Tex 25.4--Chris Baker, TE, NYJ--ExFajita 25.5--Alex Smith, TE, TB--Scooter 25.6--Jon Kitna, QB, Det--BoneYard 25.7--Kabeer Gbaja Biamila, DL, GB--Waveman 25.8--LaVar Arrington, LB, Was--DocJ 25.9--Derrick Blaylock, RB, NYJ--RLLD 25.10--Junior Seau, LB, NE--PIK 25.11--Vernand Morency, RB, Hou--Pretender 25.12--Chike Okeafor, DL, Ari--Diesel

Round 24 24.1--Channing Crowder, LB, Mia--Diesel 24.2--Cedrick Wilson, WR, Pit--Pretender 24.3--Kenoy Kennedy, DB, Det--PIK 24.4--Bryce Fisher, DL, Sea--RLLD 24.5--Jerramy Stevens, TE, Sea--DocJ 24.6--Erik Coleman, DB, NYJ--Waveman 24.7--Glenn Earl, DB, Hou--BoneYard 24.8--Mike Rucker, DL, Car--Scooter 24.9--Doug Gabriel, WR, Oak--ExFajita 24.10--Andre Carter, DL, Was--Tex 24.11--Marty Booker, WR, Mia--Doyle 24.12--EJ Henderson, LB, Min--Zap

Next year we'll go 26. Losing the ability to start 4 LBs and adding the necessity of starting three at DB or DL, changed depth needs a little, simply because you HAVE TO start three at two different positions.

You scared me. I figured you needed a wide, and I also figured you'd be the first on it considering the unfortunate KRob situation. I also think you deserved first pick in FA because of it, so this works out fine. But, you didn't nab my wr!
