Yeah...would have loved to grab some deep talent late in the draft. However, our league requires you draft 2 defenses, 2 kickers, and 3 QBs. You can short RBs and WRs but who would do that? TEs play and score as WRs.

I like teams 8 and 5. Pretty solid teams in there. Kinda depends on the scoring though.

Yeah, I think where hes being drafted he actually has excellent value. Colston isnt holding up well lately and Moore seems to have a good relationship with Brees. He could definately be a big player in that offense this season and could contribute as a WR 2 by the end of the year.

First of all my scoring is a little screwy. NON PPR. 1 point per 10 passing yards, rushing yards and receiving yards. TDs are scored on distance 10pts - 25pts. I came in looking to slow play the QB position. Possibly grabbing E.Manning(no penalty for ints), Stafford, or Rothlesburger. QBs flew off the board in the first 2 rounds of my draft and I got discouraged. In the 3rd round I grabbed P.Manning who slid to the 11th QB off the board obviously due to injury concerns. Heres how it looks....let me know what you all think. Thanks in advance and leave me a link to yours please. 8th spot in a 12 team league~Flex can be WR/RB RD1 McCoy RD2 McFadden RD3 P. Manning RD4 Mike Wallace RD5 Mike Williams TB RD6 Collie RD7 R.Grant RD8 L.Moore RD9 K.Kolb RD10 R.Helu RD11 Sims-Walker RD12 Janikowski RD13 Rackers RD14 Hunter RD15 Stl.D RD16 KC D RD17 K.Collins

I had Mike last season and was thrilled with the results but I absolutely see a drop in production this year. Typically there is a drop in production for WRs in the second season and without an established #2 guy he will see double coverage. Depending on his draft position this season I would take him again but Im definately not going to reach on him and right now he is being drafted way too high IMO.

I personally feel that Phillip Rivers will have a standout season. In fact I think he is going to outshine Brady, Brees and Manning. If the Chargers can put together any running game at all this year he could break records.

1. Aaron Rodgers, GB 2. Drew Brees, NO 3. Mike Vick, PHI 4. Philip Rivers, SD 5. Peyton Manning, IND 6. Tom Brady, NE 7. Eli Manning, NYG 8. Matt Schaub, HOU 9. Ben Roethlisberger, PIT 10. Tony Romo, DAL 11. Matt Ryan, ATL 12. Matthew Stafford, DET 13. Joe Flacco, BAL 14. Josh Freeman, TB 15. Jay Cutler, CHI 16. Kevin Kolb, ARI 17. Ryan Fitzpatrick, BUF 18. Donovan McNabb, MIN 19. Kyle Orton DEN 20. Matt Cassel, KC

Couldnt agree more. Hes not going to run away from many but in a standard scoring league he will be a top 5 RB. This guy is Brandon Jacobs with HEART. Ill take 1400-1500 and a cloud of dust to go along with 10-15 TDs any day. How many RBs get the majority of carries for their team and all the GL carries these days? Definate breakout candidate.

I currently have a 170 to 73 lead in points. He has Vick and Celek ytp. I have M.Turner playing tomorrow night. Exciting!

WOW! I cant believe you didnt trade one of those QBs. Thats awesome though.

Traded half of my team to position for the playoffs. My matchups for next week as follows... Flacco vs Cleveland Mendenhall vs Carolina Turner vs Saints Torain vs Jacksonville Mike Williams TB vs Seattle Marshall vs Detroit Janikowski vs Indy Havent yet decide on Defense: Jets vs Chicago/Rams vs Sanfran....will probably come down to weather in Chicago. If there is a ton of wind expected I will go with the Jets.

Agreed....and the funny thing in the case of Manning is that if he did get hurt running down a defender, he would be crusified in the media for it along with his coach. I absolutely loved the hustle by Bradford. But a rookie player still searching to make a name for himself in this league can get away with such things.

TB has the 26th ranked run defense in the NFL and are allowing 129 rushing yards per game. Im playing him this week as my flex. Well worth the start as a third RB or flex spot.

Voted other. Denver fans where horrified when Hillis was given up. Foster was on most peoples radar. Lloyd...yeah I can see that one. But Im a Buffalo Bills fan and NOBODY saw Stevie Johnson comin. This guy is the real deal and plays with the attitude of a #1 pick!

Randy Moss vs Jacksonville Robert Meachem vs Cincinatti Need one of these two guys. Both are a crapshoot. I think with K Collins back in that Moss will see more looks and there is some potential there. Meachem is always a risky play but when he goes off he really goes off. Need one of these guys as my flex this week. Let me know what you think.

So glad I traded this guy this week. I had to give up G Jennings but I Got Flacco and R Moss. I like the looks of this one already.

Yeah good call on that trade man. I actually traded him the same week for Greg Jennings because I was weak at WR. His matchups looked bad going into playoffs and I could see his sliding fast. Jennings has been a beast since. I like Best for next season but this year doesnt look good.

Just when I thought that the Bills couldn't get any dumber...they go and totally surprise me with this move. So they decide to start the season switching to the 3-4. Then they sign Chris Kelsay (a prototype 4-3 end) to a big deal 4 or 5 games into the season even though he was getting embarrassed on just about every play. Then they make the change back to the 4-3 because they obviously dont have the personnel to pull off the 3-4. And now they sign a washed up 3-4 pass rushing OLB? We have the young version of Merriman in Aaron Maybin that hasn't seen the field due to the fact that he SUCKS! I am beside myself with this move. Ralph Wilson brought in the spry young Buddy Nix to turn this franchise around this off season and its my opinion that he will give Matt Millen a run as worst GM in NFL history. The Bills play this weeks home game in Toronto Canada. I'm to the point that I hope they don't come back.

Cant do it man. Id actually start Kitna. Jets are badass and now they have an extra week to gameplan for the GB Offense.

I traded for Jennings 2 weeks ago (before he got going) and he has done well for me the past two weeks. However, he draws Revis and the Jets D this weekend and I am having a hard time justifying him playing. Most sites still have him highly rated but I just dont feel comfortable with it. I need to play 3 WRs this week and am currently leaning towards the combonation of: Marshall D.Bryant M.Williams (TB) My receivers are as follows: Marshall Jennings Bryant Williams Meachem Thoughts?

I hope you arent penalized for INTs cuz ATL leads the league and Carson likes to throw em. Saints WRs will go off but I half expect Meachem to lead the pack for NO. The Jags shut down CJ last week for 3 quarters and JC needs to score TDs. I dont see the Sproles play. I would definately curb my enthusiasm. But hey you never know.

God, I hope!
