well it all depends on harrison. he's the key at wr. if he is healthy and not in jail, johnson, harrison, and driver are all solid. they are all starters and should put up decent numbers. Javon Walker is a starter in Oakland. I didn't draft him as my #1 receiver, but as a guy to play when the other 2 (sometimes 3) can't. Sidney Rice is a nice young receiver. I know Minny's passing offense isn't great, but he's not a bad 5th option.

At RB, I have a top-10 guy in Lynch, then there are a few question marks. Ronnie Brown is still young and could end up being a steal. I drafted him in the 5th, so if he doesn't do well it's not a huge loss. The Raiders want to give Justin Fargas 20 carries a game. If he gets 15, he has value. Jerious Norwood is an explosive back. Yes, he's going to split carries with Turner, but Mike Smith came from Jacksonville and has said that he wants to run a similar offense that they ran in j'ville. They will be running the ball alot in atl with Ryan at qb, and he's going to throw alot of screens/dump offs. I really think Norwood can be as effective as Jones Drew now that Petrino is gone. Felix Jones plays in a high scoring offense. Jerry Jones wants Felix to get at least 10 touches a game. He's not a bad option to have as the 5th rb. Do I have the best fantasy team ever essembled? No, picking 9th isn't going to get you that, but there is depth. Plus Brady and Whitten are guaranteed.

You could be really good or really bad.

Or really middle of the road.

I think my biggest thing is I am not sold on Marshawn Lynch. I just dont like the Buffalo offense situation.




(I guess just about everyone has that possibility)

same here. I took him because he fell to 13. It was either him or Jones Drew. Since it's only a 1/2 ppr, I chose Lynch.

I have three relative unknowns at RB2 and RB3.

Turner
Forte
Perry

All of them should be starters...but on bad teams, and they have no track record. I only need one of them to be good though.

I picked up Turner as my 2RB and Forte as my backup as well. I think Turner will be a very solid 2RB. You know they are going to run him alot and I think he'll produce. Hopefully having Norwood will prevent them from overrunning him which would make me worry about injuries.

I know the Bears Oline sucks, but i think Orton will be a major upgrade and the offense will be better. I think Forte is going to be in contention for Rookie of the Year and at the 3RB there's no harm in taking a flyer on someone like him.

WR: Fitz, Holt, R. White, Berrian

TE: Cooley

DEF: Pitt

K: Folk

I picked 9th and its a 10 team league with 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 RB/WR, 2 WR, 1 def, 1 K , and 1 TE. Leaving 7 on the bench. Be honest

You seem pretty deep at RB considering you only have to start 1. You'll probably fair pretty well.

Yeah Im hoping to get another wr if some other rb's go down. I couldnt see drafting some 2nd or 3rd WR with #1 backs still out there. I hope it works out for me. I hope Holt does something this year.

If i were you i'd shop around a couple of those running backs for a top flight receiver. But only for a #1 type receiver.

I think its going to be hard before week 1. I want to keep Turner, Barber and MJD and I dont think anyone will trade for any of the other guys.

The only person Id have a chance with or that I would want would be S. Smith. With him being out Id think someone may do it.

I have never played in a 10 person league, usually 12, and the teams seem pretty stacked. The starting lineup is QB, RB, RB/WR, WR, WR, TE, K, and DEF. Here is my lineup, what do you think?

QB: Favre, Kurt Warner (just grabbed him on waiver), Kitna
RB: LT, Portis, Willis McGahee, and Ronnie Brown
WR: Fitzgerald, Steve Smith, Brandon Marshall, Calvin Johnson
TE: Todd Heap, Owen Daniels
Def: Pittsburgh
K: Neil Rackers


I know Smith and Marshall will miss first one or two games because of suspension.
