Fantasy football advice

ArtMonkDrillz · 09-05-2007, 10:44 AM

I might as well jump on the bandwagon. My money league has 10 teams and we start QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, K, DEF. I had the #2 pick and I think I might actually be close to winning some money back this year.

QB: Carson Palmer
RB: Steven Jackson
RB: Thomas Jones
WR: Javon Walker
WR: Andre Johnson
WR: Darrell Jackson
TE: Todd Heap
K: Jason Hanson
DEF: Denver
BN: Phillip Rivers
BN: Ladell Betts
BN: Santonio Holmes
BN: Joe Horn
BN: Dwayne Bowe
BN: Greg Olsen

I'm really thin at RB and that has me a bit worried. At the same time, I have 2 good QBs and I know some other people are weak there, so I have some good trade bait.
I feel good at WR. I don't need 3 back ups there, but I figure that I can drop one for whatever reason and not have to worry about it.
The only thing that's going to really suck is that a ton of my guys have a bye during week 6, so I might have to bite the bullet and not start a guy at one of the positions.

Any thoughts?

I would consider trying to trade away Eli Manning maybe for someone better. Maybe another receiver. Alge Crumpler won't be as much of a factor in that Atlanta offense as he has been in recent years, still a decent pick though.

bowe and olsen are wasted space, and you dont need a 2nd DEF unless you're just using it as a keep-away. starters are good, depth could be better.

you're bench is a bit boom or bust, especially for an 8man, and that could hurt in during bye weeks. starters are solid.

Here's my team. 8 team league and we are all beginers.
RB
Frank Gore
Willis McGahee
Clinton Portis
Joseph Addai
WR
Marques Colston
Anquan Boldin
Lavernues Coles
Andre Johnson
Deion Branch
TE
Ben Watson
Antonio Gates
Ben Graham

D/st
Chargers
Redskins

QB
Drew Brees
Jason Campbell
Matt Hassleback

k
Shaun Suisham
Robbie Gould

Starting this week
Drew Brees
Joseph Addai
Frank Gore
Colston
Johnson
Gates
Redskins D ST
Robbie Gould

What do you think? I was nervous to start portis considering I'm not sure how much he and betts will split time. I was also think of starting suisham but I really don;t want to rely on our kicking game when we should be scoring TDS.

That Guy · 09-07-2007, 08:40 PM

you don't need two kickers and probably don't need 2 dst's. that could be two more wrs/rbs.

you're rbs are killer, even for an 8man, and your wrs are good too. you dont need 3 qbs or tes though. even grabbing wrs or rbs you cant use to keep them away from others is better than having soo much wasted space (can cut 1 qb, 2 tes, 1 dst, 1 k). i mean, you've got freaking antonio gates.
