Yeah, my bad - but I thought M. Jones was going to be out for a couple of weeks with that ankle injury - ah… the wonders of modern physical therapy!

I might trade a defensive player and Vick/Westbrook for a better QB/RB. My defense is ridiculous with probably 3 or 4 of the top 10 players. Any thoughts?
Vilma, Bulluck, Urlacher, Wilson… were the other members of your league even drafting defense??? Nice job man! You’re a little (maybe a lot) shaky at QB.
How many defensive players do you start and what does that scoring system like?[/quote]
Well, my league is on yahoo, and they don’t rank defensive players right… so about half the other teams got really crappy defensive players. As for the scoring, here is the point breakdown:
solo tackle: 1 point
assist: 0.5
sack: 4
int: 5
pass defended: 1
forced fumble: 3
fumble recovery: 2
Oh, and we start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR/TE, and 6 defensive players (any position).
As for QB, I know I’m weak there, but I got Vick in the 11th round, so I figured that was a good deal. I think he’ll be better than most people expect this year. I’ll keep a close eye on the free agent QBs though.

For your running backs, do you mean Lamont Jordan? If so, how did you manage to get both him and Alexander? Your receiver situation could hurt you, but if you have those running backs they will make up for it. I don’t see Galloway or Jurevicious having another year like last year.
Well it was an automated draft and i changed my ranking to 3 RBs in the 1st 3 rounds, looking at the draft results every1 else just left the ranking as is with QB then RB then WR… i had pick 8 and pick 15
Funny thing is its just an ordinary scoring system
With Passing TD at6pts
Rushing TD at 6 pts
Receiving TD 6 Pts
Pass yrds 1 pt every 25
Rec Yards 1 pt for every 10
Dito for rushing
Yeah i got Larry Johnson Yeehaw
Any tips for a good WR

Never drop a proven starter for an unproven rookie that may or may not split. I would sit tight for now. You prob start 2 RB’s in that league, which means most weeks you would start Chester and Ronnie over Lundy or Duce anyway.

Alright, so I picked up Lundy in my Yahoo league and have him hanging out on my bench. No big deal because I had room. But, should I do that for my other league? I can only have 4 RBs on the roster so I would have to drop someone. Here’s what I got.
R. Brown, C. Taylor, D. McAllister and DeAngelo Williams.
So, i’m thinking that I could drop McAllister as he is going to be splitting carries with Bush and might eventually lose the job to Bush.
Or should I just sit tight and see how Lundy does before I make any drastic moves?

Yup, good advice and that’s what i’m going to do. I just get too damn excited and overthink myself. Does that make sense? Overthink myself? Am I overthinking now? Can you overthink yourself? Sorry, i’ll stop.
Two more days people…
I have been awol and some people a reply, will try to get to it, work is getting in the way.

Alright, I need some advice. I have D. Branch as my 3rd starting WR and obviously he’s not going to be playing this week. And since lineups need to be in by tomorrow I need to know who to start.
Here are my starting WRs:
Holt
Burress
Branch
Here are my bench WRs:
Bruce
D. Givens
I’ve scoured the waiver wire to pick up someone and no one is out there really. I lost out on picking up Burleson and A. Johnson because the other guys had lower waiver numbers. DAMNIT!
So, do I start one of my bench guys for a week or try to trade for WR?
Here’s what I got on my bench:
QB - Plummer
RB - Duckett, Lundy, D. Foster, C. Brown, M. Turner
Depending on your scoring format for QB’s, I would try to improve that position. I like Westbrook b/c in my leagues I get points for receptions for RB’s.
Be careful what you give up D wise. I am not in any leagues with IDP’s but this seems to be your strong point. You will have to evaluate the drop in D versus the other teams to the increase in QB points versus the other teams. Make your decision based on that.

You did very well in your draft. Taylor and Bell picks are ridiculously low and should pay off for you. I think Dillon will go down at some point so Maroney is nice to have even though he is hobbling a bit right now.
What do you start and whats your scoring format?
If Pepp plays out well (and he better b/c I have McMichael and Chmabers in leagues), I like McMichael. If not, I would package him with maroney to the Dillon owner for an upgrade in TE.
Depending on what the point system is for Defense, I am not sure about the Dallas D, but I have to see a few games first. You could prob find a better option on the waiver in certain weeks.
I dont like Moss even though he has looked good in the preseason. I traded for him the last two years and he did not do jack shit for me. I would prob start Boldin and Driver over him almost every week but I am biased.

Only in one league this year. Was in three last year - jeez, it becomes a black hole really. I love it !!
Our draft was last night:
10 team league , picked 7th in the draft order.
Here’s my team: Round taken in parentheses.
Any comments are sincerely appreciated.
QB:
Bulger, STL (6th) - solid No. 1 (fingers crossed for no injuries)
Leftwich, JAX (10th) - a solid No. 2
RB:
R. Brown, MIA - (1st)stud hoss in the making?
L. Jordan, OAK - (2nd) he’s just money.
C. Taylor, MIN (7th) (I’m excited about this pick - I think adding Hutch to the line is going to be huge for him - dark horse anyone?)
Tatum Bell, DEN (12th round steal?)
Laurence Maroney (11th round) - could be a late season gem)
WR:
Randy Moss, OAK - (4th) he’ll bounce back after a subpar '05
Anquan Boldin, ARI (3rd)
Donald Driver, GB (5th)
Ernest Wilford, JAX (15th)(w/ Matt Jones’ injury - he’s going to step up in JAX)
Braylon Edwards, CLE (14th round steal! Plus, I"m a Michigan alum so I figure why not? )
Kevin Curtis, STL (16th)(not bad in the 16th)
TE:
Randy McMichael, MIA (9th)
(I think he’s going to be the real beneficiary of the Daunte Culpepper era in Miami - he finally has a QB who can make the rope throws through middle coverage. )
K:
Jason Elam (8th)
DEF:
Dallas Cowboys (13th)
Peace, and good luck to all the players!! [/quote]
Ok my first trade is in the books for me, Wali Lundy and Frank Gore for Willie Parker. I offered the trade to the Dom Davis owner and he bit.
See you have to take advantage of this kind of situation and you could do the same in your league to get a WR. So what if Lundy blows up? I got him for free and am giving him up for Parker. The way I look at it, I drafted Gore and now I have Parker, thats a 2 round flop in my draft. Also, I think it will take the rookie some time to develop and Dayne is in the picture now in Houston. You have to pull the trigger quick since his value is high, if he busts against the Eagles, he will be pretty much worthless fantasy wise IMO.
We start 3 RB’s so I am now starting Edge, Parker and C. Taylor, yeah baby!!
The other option you have, depending on how your waiver wire works, is to retain your place in the waiver and see who goes down/blows up in week 1. Pick up that player. It will depend on your week 1 match up, if you think you can beat the other guy anyway…
I would then start Bruce against Denver I think. Champ will be on Holt and Holt will draw double cover so Bruce should be able to take advantage of that. I dont think Collins will know the playbook well enough to start Givens over Bruce but then again, you never know…

Nice trade man. That’s some sweet shit.
I don’t know, I just have never been a big fan of starting two WRs on the same team. I feel like you are just depending too much on one team. But that’s just me. You do bring up a good point about the double team on Holt though.
Right now I have Givens in the starting lineup for this week. As a Packers fan, I have to say that their rookie WR Greg Jennings has been impressive and has worked his way into the starting No. 2 spot. This is interesting. He would be a good pickup in my opinion. Most teams will put their best corner on Driver and try to shut him down. Leaving a lot of looks for Jennings.
And as bad as their O-Line is this year, I think they are going to have trouble running the ball. Should I drop say, Givens and pick up Jennings?
Yeah, I am loving it man.
Oh fuck, my bad brother, I skipped the you starting Holt part. I agree with you, I would not start Holt and Bruce in the same game unless they were playing against San Fran.
I like the kid Jennings but they do play against the Bears. With that said, I think the kid is worth picking up. Do you drop Givens? I am not sure about that. Brandon Jones is healthy in TN but when Collins does start slinging it, Givens could have some value.
I know u have LT and thats why Turner is on your roster. You may want to drop him and get Jennings. I did this with Tike/Jacobs in one league and he was still there a week later for me to pick him back up. And this is with people knowing Jacobs wil see action in the reg season, I dont think Turner will see the ball alot. In other words, I dont think anyone will pick him up if you drop him but thats the chance you would take.

Yeah, i’ve never been a big fan of the handcuff because I just don’t think it’s necessary. I have two other RBs on my team that are starters should LT go down. I don’t know. I agree that no one will probably pick up Turner should I drop him. I don’t think the guys in this league are that wise to pick guys up for trade bait.
I also have Duckett and could drop him too. I picked him up thinking that he would take over the No. 2 spot but it looks like Betts has that.
Well, I just proposed a trade in my league. This guy is hurting at RB, he has McAllister, R. Bush, Barlow, C. Benson. Talk about a bad squad. So, I just proposed this trade.
DeShaun Foster & Isaac Bruce for Reggie Brown
I also said that if that doesn’t do it for him that I would also offer C. Brown or Wali Lundy.
What do you think of that offer?
Thats way too much to give up. If you are going to give up that much, you should get like a Driver or somebody like that a WR 10-20. Remember man, you are dealing from a position of strength. If I was the other owner, I would jump all over that shit. By week 3, Reggie will be the number 3 WR.
