yomamahates 0 Posted August 25, 2006 This was the first fantasy draft ive ever participated in. I'm a little uncertain about my QB's. I heard that most picks in rounds 1 and 2 are RB's because they bring in the bulk points, but people started picking QB's early and I was actually lucky to get Michael Vick but I'm uncertain about Aaron Brooks. Sure, he has Moss to throw to but he hasn't been showing confidence in the preseason games. My league is EA Sports (3 points - passing TD, 6 points rushing-recieving TD with Team Defenses). Heres my picks given I'm 9th out of 10. (Round.Overall Pick) 1.09 - Rudi Johnson (RB) 2.12 - Ronnie Brown (RB) 3.29 - Torry Holt (WR) 4.32 - Antonio Gates (TE) 5.49 - Roy Williams (WR) 6.52 - Michael Vick (QB) 7.79 - Donald Driver (WR) 8.82 - MIAMI DOLPHINS (DST) 9.99 - Deshaun Foster (RB) 10.102 - Mike Vanderjagt (K) 11.119 - Aaron Brooks (QB) 12.122 - Greg Jennings (WR) 13.139 - Frank Gore (RB) 14.142 - Antonio Bryant (WR) 15.159 - John Kasay (K) Other options instead of Brooks (which are still available) are: Leftwich, Kitna, Simms, Losman, A. Smith, and Rivers. Should I sack Brooks for one of these instead? Also, I have 2-K, 1-TE, and 1-DST. Gates and Vanderjagt are amazing and Dolphins have a decent D and ST, but I dont know if I should sack Kasay for a TE or DST. The other options available are: (TE): B. Watson, J. Wiggins, Z. Hilton, D. Graham. (DST): Jags, Broncos, Rams, Bucs, Falcons, Skins, 49ers, Lions, Eagles, Titans, Bills...and more. I'm loyal to my losing Lions (who may have a season this year ) so I'm a bit biased towards Kitna and Lions D, but I would rather win my league . Any advice/input. Someone help???

PlasticElvis 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Well... without knowing your scoring, I actually like Leftwich better than either of your QBs, and think Simms is at least better than Brooks. If you are required to start a TE, then I might look at that, but if your league uses WR/TE, then don't worry about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, but I like that Vick is a good scrambler and can rush the TD's giving me 6 points as opposed to 3. I probably will pick up Leftwich. Anywho, I'm a little under the gun with QB's.

MoshPitHippie 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Brooks is like fantasy fools gold, Looks really good for a few games and then goes right in the pooper for a few, also he seems to get worse as the season goes on. Just see wich of the Qb's in the free agent pool do durring the first two or three weeks and get the best one. And remeber vick does seem to get dinged up a bit. If he does Schaub is an ok option as well.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 792 Posted August 25, 2006 Geez, that is an excellent team. To get Rudi Johnson AND Ronnie Brown? I dont know how many RB's you start, but I think you're set in that position. Even if you start 2 RB's, you wont need a large # of backups. those guys are solid #1 guys who wont share carries. your QB situation is fine, but Vick is prone to injury because of the amount he runs the ball(takes more hits than your average QB). so with him its feast or famine. I'd pickup leftwich and dump that spare kicker you have. You wont need a second kicker on any day other than a bye week (and that, my friend, is what the waiver wire is for) otherwise your team is awesome. I'd be surprised if you didnt win with that team.

PatsGirl1785 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Drop Brooks.....Get leftwich..... I am not a huge fan of Vick....keep an eye on Chris simms I think he could be a great sleeper this year. Rate mine please :-) http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=224443 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
templeheels 0 Posted August 25, 2006 I would give Brooks a few weeks - he has lots of potential here (even though he's screwed me in the past). I would dump one of your two kickers and pick up another position player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yomamahates 0 Posted August 28, 2006 Yeah, my QB's concern me. I dropped Brooks for Leftwich, but i've been watching Leftwich in preseason and i'm hoping that the 2nd or 3rd string offensive line was covering him, if not he's screwed. Another question tho: At WR I plan on starting Holt, Roy Williams, and Driver. I'm a little concerned that GB plays Bears so I'm thinking about subing Antonio Bryant in for Driver. (49ers vs. Cardinals) Any advice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
