in other news, reggie bush with 13 touches in one half. i think he's a top 10 ppr RB, could outscore lynch. bush is one of the better projected RB2 upside players. i like my 1/2 RB punch. Vereen as a flex, maybe franklin. look out boys, again.

On your Team I like Dez a lot and if I were to pick right again I likely take him over Marshall as I have Dez "now" a hair above him (I even have Dez above AJ Green right now). You have the best QB tandem but you only start one - you had RG and Manning last year and it didn't hurt you. Not a fan of Lynch call it a hunch but I just don't see him being the beast he was the last 2 years. Reggie I just don't know as there are 3 RB's on that team I view Reggie as a poor Man's Darren Sproles ( which is very ironic ) Outside of Dez there's Wayne who should be solid but not much else. I like Vereen but he will be hit or miss most weeks. You got good pieces but unless Lynch and Bush perform like last year it might be a struggle for you to make the playoffs.

I think you ended up with maybe the steal of the draft in Bradshaw. I wanted to take him when I took Austin but flinched thinking he would last another round If healthy Bradshaw could be a top 10 RB in that offense. I think Bradshaw has a shot to out score Spiller (granted I am no Spiller fan) -- as with that horrific offense Spiller has he will have to earn everything

not bad, moz. i appreciate u taking the time to comment on my post.

couple things to respond to tho:

first, i really jus do tiers and approx. stats. i have dez in WR tier 1, w/ CJ.

like a lot of people, ur way underestimating reggie bush this yr. compare to sproles, not really close. i guarantee reggie sees more snaps than sproles, so who's in a timeshare? i hae bush ahead of lynch, top 10 RB.

not a lot after dez/wayne 2 WR? ur off i think. dobson or kembrell will be decent #3, whichvr one it is. With DHB, i was expecting him to be 3rd WR in Indy, instead he's starting opposite Wayne. Kendall Wright is a good option, another starter in Tenn. he's on the up, check him out. i have him for 75/900/7. that's not bad for a #3.

vereen wont be 'hit or miss'. he'll play move TE, woodhead role, whole finding carries. 120/430/2 and 70/611/7. i think he'll do quite well in the passing game. the carries will come from a lot of 3rd down draws. that's my take on vereen.

quite a few things in contrast to ur take.

wow. i think this bradshaw love is based on a dream of years past. his contract is garbage. he cant get on the field, again. its no bet he's even ready for wk 1. loo, i hated my ballard pick, not enough upside for me. i regreted it the minute i did it. but brdshaw? that's a pipe dream. at bes, its a 50/50 split. i nthat case, yes, bradshaw has more value in ppr, but that's the best case to me.

bradshaw outscoring spiller is preposterous!

one more thying, spiller had historic stats last yr, in rare group. even a healthy bradshaw in his best form is way below spiller, nothing to indicate a healthy bradshaw can do anything close to wha spiller did last yr, he was in barry land, that good. im tired of this ej manual stuff too. his versatility alone is enough to help spiller find opportnities in that super fast hig octane offense marrone is going to run. they'll run read option too.

Delay You R Team Depends On Bush And Lynch Playing Like Last Year. I Don't See It. If, They Do You May Win Another One. Jmo You're A Border Lounge Playoff Team With Upside. What Kills Is Gronk Bein On Pup. You're Aren't Nearly As strong As You Think. BuIf Your Rbs Do As You Think You Are Rigjt There.

[The Moz 69]

Right Now I Like My Team. My Qb Isn't Strong But Isn't Weak Overall. Rbs Are Solid And My Wets IMO Ate Among The Leagues Best. Others May Disagree But Hey For The First Time InA While I Like My Team

ill offer a sorta synopsis on ur team, since u were kind enough to comment on mine.

i like eli, i have him as tier 2QB, top 10. he's gonna bounce bak in a big way. his receivers are as god as any team i think. that def and running gm could struggle, which is good for eli FF prospects.

even tho we havnt seen much from him, i like bell, and i like his sit even more. he's primed for bell cow attempts, which si great. and he can catch. with miller out for a while i think still, bell will get some underneath stuff from ben.

ray rice, notsosure i thik. i jus dont trust the prosepects as much as the price, like arian foster. i wont draft either one all yr and havent so far. having pierce in the hole is smart. u like christine more htan me for this yr. i think its still owned by lynch in seattle. im all in on micheal in dynsty, paid a heavy price to get him in the late 2nd in a dynasty im in with WW.

at a glance, ur recievers are top notch actually, as good as anybodys i think. little better than mine, on par with HTs and actually meglas are a bit underrated too. so, ur top 4 worst, maybe #1 in the league there.

olsen aint bad. i dont know what to expect from him, but he could be anywhere from 4 to 13 for me i think, prolly closer to the 8 spot if i had to guess.

overall, pretty good.

not best in the division good, but pretty good.

While I agree he's no Spiller, his upside is certainly better than a 50/50 split and I'm not reading anything in the blurbs below that make me nervous about him not being ready for week 1

 

Profootballtalk reports the NFL forced the Colts to activate Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) from the active/PUP because he took hand-offs in practice eight days ago.

Bradshaw took a few hand-offs in a walkthrough practice last week, but the Colts classified them as "mental reps." The league investigated the situation and determined that Bradshaw had practiced, therefore he was no longer eligible for the PUP list. It's not a major concern, though, as Bradshaw should be ready to participate in some form of real practice in the coming days.

Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) says he "definitely" feels 100 percent.

"I guess that was part of the misinterpretation last week and Im just ready to go," Bradshaw said, referring to his forced activation from the PUP list. "We just want to take it slow, make it last the whole season." The Indianapolis Star believes Bradshaw might suit up for the Colts' third preseason game, but we wouldn't be surprised if he sat out the entire exhibition season.

Coach Chuck Pagano called Ahmad Bradshaw an "every-down back" Tuesday.

Last year, Bradshaw averaged 4.59 YPC and graded out as ProFootballFocus' No. 1 pass blocker at the running back position. Vick Ballard managed 3.85 YPC and was the No. 42 protector. As long as Bradshaw can prove his troublesome wheels are in good shape, he's going to be the starter and feature back in Indy. He says he feels "great" and is aiming to play in the Colts' third preseason game. There's value in Bradshaw's fifth-round ADP.

I'd love my team right now if I had a healthy Harvin. I'm a little weak at WR but I feel pretty good about the rest of my team.

All I know this is the first time in a few years I have felt going into the season I had one of the favorites to take the title - maybe I am way off but . Even in 2011 when I went to the tit;le game I basically got lucky most of the year. Last time I felt this good about a upcoming year was

other than the last article on ur post, i read all the other ones as negative views on bradshaw's prospects. i jus dont think he holds up, no rreason to believe he will imo. the shoe fits in this case.

[Little Big Head 6]

He led the Giants in rushing the last 3 years. Plenty of reason to think he will lead the Colts. I'm not a huge Bradshaw fan but I think you must be drinking some spiked Vic Ballard Kool-Aid. Oh Yeah

I'm back fellas. 7 fun filled days in Destin with limited computer time. WTF happened to Malcolm Floyd when I was gone? I'm already thin at WR. I don't need him going down.

 

I was watching the Titans game when Kendall Wright went down a little while ago. Who's team is he on?

My IBL draft so far

 

Romo 6.8

 

McFadden 5.5

Sproles 4.8

 

Dez Bryant - 1.5

R. White - 2.8

D. Amendola 3.5

 

QB - RB - WR-WR-WR-Flex-TE k D PPR

 

Dez at 1.5 would seem nuts but if you don't take a top WR REALLY early and often they are gone and RB's are always there late. IMO right now I might just have the perfect PPR team - time will tell.

[Little Big Head 6]

There is a forum for that....it's called the IBL forum!

J/k

Good team so far though I'm not a fan of McFadden at all

yeah im not sure at this means tho.

starting rb in any situation is good, but this is a bottom 3rd RB production type team to me.

i think carolina is down again, not a fan of wat rivera is doing. i really like cam, because i see car QB spot as a high volume opportunity w/ good versatile QB.

The issue was Chud, not Rivera...

Bottom 3rd? That's ridiculous... That's saying just 10 teams worse at most...

And even if so, there aren't that many non rbbc RBs out there and DWil could be one for the first 6 games. That makes him low end RB2 at worst...

i said bottom 3rd RB's, not unreasonable.

cam newton 127/741/5.8- avg of 8 rushing attmpts per gm.

i suppose of the 2 RBs, wen its not a timeshare, (which it will be wen stewwy comes back) would be dwilly.

ill be generous and give him 4.3 per carry, with wat around 15/18 carries a gm leftover after cam. so ill revise my statement a little in this regard, while carolina RBs are middling at best, wen stewwy is out, dwilly could be RB2 numbers, maybe.
