Stafford for late this year... for sure next year...the guy is STUD Qb just waiting to play....

All I can say is that Stafford will be one of the strongest QBs in the league within two years. If not this year... next year. Don't miss having him on your roster in Keeper leagues. I watched him in his debut and every pass except one was on the money... he reminds me of a young Farve. A rocket arm with deadly accuracy. I just hope he doesn't throw as many picks as Farve...but he is WAY ahead of the curve. Draft with confidence that he will be the man maybe late this season but without a doubt next year.

I have Torry Holt & L. Coles The list of possibilities.... I.Bruce or Bryant Johnson SF, R. Williams Jac, J Gage Ten, R. Brown Phi, P. Crayton Dal There are some others... but you see what is left. This is a 12 team with 6 off keepers. Standard rules.... I used my first three picks solidifying my RB... since I am drafting 10th... It has been difficult. Any words of advice on SF wrs.... is martz really going to get production from Bruce... or is he just pulling him into the organization to help develop others? I am leaning towards I. B. but will Bryant Johnson be the man?

Yeah.. that is what I was thinking.... but it is tempting to take Bryant Johnson because you know that he will also be getting a lot of looks and he is so much younger.... Thanks for your input... I appreciate it.

Yeah ... I have read a little about him and he is looking very good.... however when questioned about Greg Jennings status since he hasn't caught a pass in the last two games....McCarthy insists that Jennings is still #2.. Jones ...against Seattle... 4 catches for 58 yards with two touchdowns....one from Farve and one from Rogers. .. but..... What if the second half slow down by Jennings last year continues? How long would it be before Jones gets more playing time... Those that watched Jones at SJSU say he was a beast. Some that have watched him live say that he is something special. I picked up Jennings earlier in my keeper league draft.... I am currently on deck in round 12.... he is still available so I thiink I will select him just in case Jennings doesn't pan out this year.

MJD is hands down the one to keep. Fred Taylor made it through last year basically injury free ..but I would count on the fact that he goes down sometime this year and MJD will be a top 10 running back... he may do it even if FT doesn't get hurt. Good Luck

I am also 3rd pick in one of my drafts ... number one has announced his pick will be LT.... number two has announced his pick as Steven Jackson.... sooooo..... That leaves me with the same choice as you.... and I am going with Gore. Good luck

Charles Rogers... Wr Lions... What a wasted pick....

I am picking #5 in a re-draft league. I won the league last year picking 3rd.... I found the opinions in this thread helpful. I am leaning Addai as it stands right now. Good luck

I was in a trophy league with them last year. I won the league and it took around two months to get my trophy. The league was fun and Antsports seems to keep the leagues updated and accurate in a timely manner. I was thinking of a money league this year also. Let me know if you join one... good luck. Jokinomx

I personally think they need to take Brady Quinn or Troy Smith ... then trade for proven OFFENSIVE LINEMEN who can actually protect the QB. Will it matter? Probably not... but... the Tigers turned it around in two years.... so I can't give up hoping that the Lions could do the same. Just my Humble Opinion...

How lame that would be..... I am in a 10 player keeper...6 offense and 4 defense... 12 teams.... I finished in 5th this year.... I missed the final four by a couple of wins... won the conselation round and ended up in 5th. It takes patience and football smarts to improve each year. Next year I start with Alexander, MJD, T. Jones and Frank Gore.... throw in my waiver pick up Tony Romo and I can focus on a couple of good WRs....I think this should put me up in the top of our league... Now if some in the league wanted to change to a re-draft I would be pissed. I would tell them start a NEW re-draft and continue to play the Keeper or find new owners that are willing to wait a couple of years to be competitive, which may be difficult if yours is a money league. Mine isn't... it is just for bragging rights. Anyway...best of luck

It is always interesting to hear the experts say someone is to small... or not strong enough... One that comes to mind is Doug Flutie. He became (in my opinion) a great QB even though he did not have all the qualities that the experts say is needed.... I could name others... but I really think that Troy Smith may be one of these type of players. I don't disagree that he has a real team around him... but he has played equal to his team.... the best in the U.S.. Anyway.... I hope as many here have stated, that the Lions draft whoever the most wanted player is and trade him for OL and other picks. Thanks for your thoughts... as a life long Lion fan... all we have is hope.:-) Yeah your correct... but you have to admit... looking at the number of wins they had in 2004 and now in 2006.... it was a two year turn around. The changes made...Pudge being the first.... started the change.... the final piece of the puzzle...Leland coming back to Detriot..... I think the Lions are actually a better team than they were last year or the year before... they lost a lot of very close games this year.... and at times the offense moved the ball very well.... what surprized me was the defense actually took a step backwards.... something that was improving the last couple of years. Anyway.... spring training is only a couple of months away...

Yessss is right... I won my league because of Gore....but how lame is the play calling for the 49ers... At one point they had second and short and they throw TWO passes incomplete...and at the time Gore had 10 carries for over 50 yards.... get the freaking first down with your money man....it is a wonder that the 49ers won as many games as they did.... How important was that game with St. Louis now.... another terrible play call....lost that game... Maybe next year niners....

MJD.... is my choice... I drafted him and Gore in a keeper league...to go along with Thomas Jones and S. Alex... I missed the playoffs mainly because of SA ... but next year I will be able to focus on some quality WRs to compliment my RBs...

I won my league with the following lineup.... A. Smith... QB F. Gore..... RB L. Johnson..RB J. Galloway..WR A. Battle......WR A. Crumpler..TE N. Rackers...K GreenBay...Def.... I ended the day with 106 points to my opponets 77... he had terrible matchups... and mine were pretty good.. 100 points was about average in our league this year... so not a great day for me... but I got lucky again.... The only real mistake today was sitting Brady over A. Smith... oh well... I won anyways.... Whooo Whooo... my first league championship....

Well you nailed that one didn't you... I have him as one of my RB in our championship this week... I was hoping beyond hope that he would have at least 2 scores... but the way he has been shut down at the goal line this year... I will take the one and 135 yards. He gave me a solid 19.5 points .... Now I need Frank Gore to tear Ariz a new ahole....

I completely disagree with you here.... WW is there for everyone to use. I try to prepare for injuries...but sometimes you have to go to the wire to find a replacement. Even if I didn't have injuries.... if I think there is a better matchup from a defense or player on the wire... I should be able to make the change. My opponent has the same ability. I put in a lot of time reading about the matchups and make changes the entire year ...to prevent me from continueing from playing the game as I have all year just punishes me for studying the match-ups and choosing to make changes. I am against roster dumping by teams that are no longer in the running. That is something that would change the status quo of the wire. This week I picked up GB against Minn ... choosing not to play my main D... NE... Will it work out... if the Jags can score this week... I made a great choice and am on my way to being league champ.

They all have a downside...but the upside of Galloway is Rattay liked him last week in their near upset of Chicago.... and Cleveland is no Chicago... I would go with Galloway as the other two defenses are tough.... Good Luck

--------------- Him ======= Me QB- Roth at Ravens ..........Smith vs Ariz Rb- A.Green v Minn ...........LJ at Oak Rb-Tiki v NoS ...................Gore vs Ariz Wr-C.Johnson at Den.........J.Galloway at Cleve Wr-J.Walker v Cinn...........A. Battle vs Ariz Te- A.Gates at Seattle.......A. Crumpler vs Car K- Kaeding at Seattle.......Rackers at 49ers Def- Pitt vs Ravens...........Gb vs Minn He got 10.8 for Green's efforts and I got 10 points for GB's efforts..... As far as possible changes in my line-up.... Brady at Jax Berrian vs Det.... or Mason vs Bal Alex Smith TE TB at Cleve Other than that... what do you think my chances are... He was the best team in the league.... I was second.... this is our first meeting for the year....:-)

The same as my starting two.... LJ and Gore... they will each have monster days this week.... these two are right behind LT in rushing this year... no doubts for me who I would play.... Gore and Betts in your second league...

The only thing I could say about using Furry is that if your league gives a point per reception as mine does... Furry is being used alot for short crossing routes for first downs... he will be tossed to at least ten times against the Bears as the Lions running game gets stuffed.... I would expect 6-8 catches for 40 to 80 yards... Kitna also likes him inside the red zone, so there is always that possibility that he scores a TD.... he is quick and could burn one for long yardage also.... Good luck....

Thanks for responding to my questions... As with me .... I am going with Smith and I still think he will have one of his best games of the year. Good luck....

Some great inputs from everybody... I certainly have been putting a lot of time in these choices.... Brady just hasn't had a good run this year... he is steady... but it seems as though NE would rather rush the ball across the line instead of throw.... Brady will have tons of completions and barely over 200 yards passing.... it has been a crap shoot with him all year.... so since I have to take a chances to beat a better team with tougher matchups... I will go with Smith.....and a very weak Ariz passing D. Berrian started hot... and has one good game since he returned from his injury....and there is a risk of him not getting as much playing time as a do or die game would neccessitate. A. Bryant won't be playing... Battle will have to respond.... he had a great game against Seattle and his confidence should be high. I know I am putting all my eggs in one basket...but the matchup is so good.... I can't help but think I will have at least two of three solid scores between my 49er players... and with my opponents matchups... I think that will give me enough to win.... It does take a little luck sometimes also... and this year has been good to me in that respect...:-) Thanks for the help... I will let you all know how I fared on Monday... Jokinomx

It was a fun game to watch.... I went against the crowd and played GB as my defense in our league's Superbowl....choosing not to play NE in Jacksonville...against a very capable Jax offense needing a win.... We start with 10 points and keep it as long as the opposing team doesn't score.... I ended up with 10... which isn't terrible.... the game should have been a shutout... they only gave up 3 first downs with a little over 100 yards total offense.... Farve throwing the interception for a TD cost me four.... My opponent had to play Ahman Green who gave him 10.80 points. His defense will be Pitt against an unpredictable Ravens offense.... and my next player will be LJ at Oak tomorrow night... DT/ST TD = 6 points Safety = 2 points INT = 1 point Fumble = 1 point Sack = 1 point Defensive Points Allowed Points -------------- ----- Shutout 10 2 - 6 8 7 - 10 6 11 - 14 4 15 - 19 2 20+ 0 Who did you have play last night? How did you do?
