Pretty fricking loaded. Nice depth at every pos.....nice draft


Didn't draft QB until 8th round....took advantage of people drafting Qbs very early by loading RB and WR

I'm in a 12 team league and picked 10th. Saw a lot of guys drop and thought I was getting good value so I stopped their freefall.

QB) Brett Favre
RB) Lynch
RB) Gore(he fell to 15, should I have let his fall continue?)

WR)Andre Johnson
WR)Roy Williams
WR)Torry Holt

W/R) Michael Turner
TE) Todd Heap
D) Indy

Backups
Kitna
Ray Rice
Kevin Smith
Lee Evans
Jabar Gaffney
Sidney Rice

Way I figure it, is health of my WR's stays solid, and Farve gives me something close to last year I got a good chance.

Any thoughts?

I don't understand how you managed to get Lynch and Gore in a 12 team league. I'm not sold on Lynch as much as some but you have two #1 RB's, a solid #1 WR and two WR's that can very well be #1's. I wouldn't want Favre with the amount of int's he throws, but he'll do. I'd say you need to drop Sidney Rice and see who you can pick up as a second TE option. I like Heap but he can never manage to stay healthy.

I thought about keeping a 2nd TE also. What do you think about Zach Miller from Oakland. Preseason JR is targeting him, and I think he will build on a strong rookie season.

yeah i don't think that'd be a bad pick up. i think that guy is going to be a great player and you're right Russell is favoring him. can't hurt. my philosophy when dealing with that last back up slot is to take a risk with someone.

I can't imagine a 16-team league. I've tried 14 before and the talent was thin. I think you did okay. Romo could carry your whole team if continues to produce like he did last year. Plus, he'll probably get some +11 yd. TDs for sure. When he hooks up with Witten, which I predict will happen often, you'll win.

Yea me and my boy placed 3rd last year- the money is great in the league. We won 180 each for 3rd.

Our philosphy began to focus on attempting to get double points on TDs since the yards bonuses were so shitty. A guy like Willie Parker valued was diminished so much compared to Brandon Jacobs because he punched it in. It is different, but it makes you strategize. That is why I got Hester. I had to convince him that Hester will get touches inside the 5, along with his great ability to catch passes(which count double BTW).

To be fair, I do have a lot of injury risks with some key players.

Lynch, Johnson, Williams, all missed time last year.

That is too much. Take Torry out of the deal.

Torry gave you last 93 catches, 1000 yards 7 TDs in what was a down year for him.

Thomas Jones will be greatly improved.
