how about this team:
QB - jeff lewis (670k): so cheap, that you can't ignore him. him price will go up in at least a few millions over the season.
QB - daunte culpepper (11.05m): the terrible carolina defense in week 1, will produce great numbers.
RB - stephen davis (7.42m): washington has the easiet schedule in the league, and sthepen davis is a big stud.
RB - garrison hearst (4.75m): so far his comeback looks good, he can put up great numbers at the main guy in SF.
RB - j.r. redmond (3.17m): looks like he is the main guy in the NE backfield, and cincy in week 1 can mean some points.
WR - randy moss (7.28m): I don't really have anything to say about this guy.
WR - terrell owens (8.05m): another stud WR, his numbers could be even better then last year's now when rice is no longer there.
WR - jermane crowell (3.84m): fits perfectly the new west coast offense in detroit, should put very solid numbers.
TE - byrone chamberlain (1.49m): so cheap and he is the starting TE for minesota. very good deal.
K - jaret holmes (800k): very cheap, should put solid kicker numbers.
DT - 49ers (1.47m): very cheap, the anamic falcons offense in week 1. should do much better then last year with the addition of stubblfield, andre carter the year experience for all the rookies.
roster value: 49.99m (only 10k left)

players sorted by total points in 2000
I decided to look at the top 50 point producers last year in order to determine where to put my money.
I posted in another thread that the scoring system inherintly favors QB's, RB's and D's, but I wanted to see to what extent.
Of course things change from your to year, but based on last years points produced...
15 of the top 50 were QB's
18 of the top 50 were RB's
6 of the top 50 were D's
11 of the top 50 were WR's
what you do with this data is up to you, but here it is....
I think what it tells me is that I will spend about 30% of my $50M on QB's, 30% on RB's 10% on D, 25% on WR's and 5% MAX on K and TE.
The top TE was Tony G @ #54 (Sharpe was the next rated TE @ #105)
The top K was Longwell @ #112 followed closely by Stover @ #117
Although there are more WR's in the top 50 than D's BAL, TEN, & MIA made the top 25 w/ TAM @ #29.
The top WR was Mason @ #11 - thi swas due in large part to his KR duties. It surprised me that he out scored Moss by 450 points.
I then decided to sort by
points per game for 2000 to compensate for those high producers that were lower on the total points list due to games missed. For example, Warner & Griese.
19 QB's were in the top 50
18 RB's were in the top 50
4 D's were in the top 50
9 WR's were in the top 50
Based on points per game stats:
The top K VS the 25th ranked K was only 50 points per game, so i don't see any reason to toss money in the direction of K's
The diff in TE was 145, but that was mostly due to TG breaking the curve. The diff between #8 and #25 was only 37 points. If you don't hav ethe cash for a top 8 TE, then it doesn't matter much if you drop to 10,15,20, or 25th ranked TE's
13 WR's averaged over 200 points per game, however an addition 40 averaged over 100 points per game. That means most top 2 receivers on each team were at least margianly productive. This position is often a crap-shoot because WR's are less in control of the ball by the nature of there position and possible the circumstances of the game. I'm looking for primaily #1's priced low to mid range and #2's w/ PR/KR duties to add to there value. At this point, I don't believe I can afford any WR priced above $5M
With 4 trades per week, I plan on looking for best bets on D matchups and RB matchups to try to score max points. I hope to lock up two (2) top 10 or better QB's w/ $15M and leave them alone until bye weeks.
..... I'm tired of looking at this stuff now...

Why does no one mention Garcia at hm in week 1 for some major points vs Atl. It'd be a good jumpstart even though you may want to sell off for week 2. Maybe Lewis will do well so one could sell for a big gain by lewis.

Im staying away from Lewis until i see him put up good numbers per $ value. If he does good i can still jump on his bandwagon later and he will still be cheap even if he goes up two million in two weeks.
To much of a down side right now, cause if he does poorly, it will take to many moves to free up money to get a better QB.

Well, I've had a couple of changes since my roster post in the 1st thread on this topic. Being rather new to the football game (this is only my second season), I figured I'd put my new roster up for some advice/critiquing.
Please be gentle. I'm very delicate:
QB:
Trent Green 7.1 mil
Aaron Brooks 7.54 mil
WR:
JJ Stokes 2.46 (I'm hoping for increased playing time this year w/ Rice gone)
Randy Moss 7.28 (duh)
Bert Emanuel .97 (gotta have some cheapies)
RB:
Priest Holmes 3.25(gotta love KC's offense this year)
Michael Bennett 5.1 (may change out for Ahman Green)
Edgerrin James 10.39
TE:
Bubba Franks 1.63
K:
Jose Cortez 1.65 (if SF scores half as often as
last season, he'll get plenty of ops for points)
D:
Seattle (recently downgraded from Jax due to pathetic preseason showing)
Total Roster Value: 49.57
Money to play with: .43

Okay here is my probable roster with a little cash to swap up on D if I so choose.
I was a Jeff Lewis junkie at first but obviously I had to switch off. I really buy into loading up on QB/RB to the almost exclusion of all else.
QB
Warner - Starts hot, gotta get on the biggest O
Brooks - Great price for a "sleeper" NO going to SB this year
WR
Taylor - Who doesn't have this steal?
Stokely - Gonna get tons of balls his way early
Tai Streets - This is a pure "JJ sucks" play
RB
EDGE - The bricks of my team. Gotta have a stud RB or you are screwed
Dayne - Early hold and trade when they move back to RBBC
Anderson - Their only option at Back. Gonna get 30+ carries
TE
Damon Jones - I may (big maybe) upgrdade this to a more sure thing but how can you avoid a starting <1M TE at JAC
K
Cortez - XFL aside he looks to be the best value now
D
St Louis - Top 10 D at a bottom 10 price. All major news outlets rank them no less than 11.

Possible Roster:
QB - Kurt Warner....ummm
QB - Aaron Brooks...tossup for me between him and Favre
WR - Stokley....may be very nice
WR - Burress....I'm a Steeler fan and I need a body, lets hope he puts up #1 type numbers.
WR - Crowell...he injured but he's still there for me up until the day before the season b/c I feel he's way undervalued but that's just me.
RB - Jackson....cheap starter could be used a lot
RB - Anderson...looking for workload
RB - Dunn....go Noles!
TE - Conwell....a part of the well-oiled machine.
K - Cortez...the popular choice
D - Tampa Bay....pumping the cash here is worth it???

Heres my roster right now, could change due to injuries....
Warner-- In my mind a steal at his price
Hassleback-- Good performance=more $$
Dillion--9 carries this preseason 130+ yards
Bennett--Still dont know what to do with him week 2
Ahman Green-- Think hes the next RB stud of the league
Buress--??? continuing the trend of cheap WR's
Crowell--Could be a top-notch guy if healthy
Q. Ismail-- No one else has him...i figure a big game will get me some big money
Becht--nice pick for low price but anyone at this price is a risk
Cortez--see becht
Tampa-- 2nd best D in league

Special K,
Lets see where do we start. LOL! No, really your teams looks good except for Deuce(what are you thinking, seriously). Until Ricky Williams gets hurt, Deuce won't see much action at all and that 4 mil can get you J Jackson from Cleveland or T Allen from BMore and help free up abot 500K. Next S Davis is a stud there is no denying that, but guys like Bennett(week 1 vs Car) and J Anderson(week 1 vs San Fran) are much better suited for week 1 then Davis. Hell I'd even go with Terrell "did you eat your chunky soup" rather than Stephen. Moss is very expensive and from what I have read in this forum, its better to go cheap on the WRs and spend a little more on the RBs(its was all laid out for us in another post by someone with to much time on their hands)so maybe go Moss to K Johnson(week 1 versus Dallas 's week secondary)or P Warrick(week 1 versus New England and use the extra cash to dump Weinkes ass. There is a reason Weinke didn't make it in pro baseball, and thats because he can't compete at the highest level of competition and it will show or has it already? Well just some thought.

Ok here is my 329462936423th different team and ive actually held it for 3 whole days! It might be a keeper, ok well prolly not lol......
QB- Griese (If he stays healthy, im gonna profit)
QB- Hasselbeck (Good preseason, $$$$$$$$$$$)
WR- Warrick (No QB but thats ok he doesnt need one, oh yeah hes gonna have a few punt return tds too)
WR- Coles (Starter, FSU alum, 2.62mill!? YEP YEP)
WR- Taylor (I might be switching out of him if he stays as there #3 guy)
RB- Anderson (Hes back and hes healthy, who doesnt own him?)
RB- Williams (Preseason numbers are horrid but was in the top 3 in average/per game a the RB slot. Having MCallister will motivate him)
RB- Bennett (Lots of options here but ill give him a shot week 1 vs. Car then maybe move into Green, Anderson, Davis...we'll see)
TE- Becht (Cheap and a 1st rounder last year, sure as hell hope he plays like it)
K- Cortez (Everyone else has him why not me)
D- Green Bay (I already explained this move in the Opening Day "D" thread, post #69)
I really hope this roster holds but i doubt it. I hope it helps some of u out when u pick your teams and im open to crticism as well. Later fellas

The only thing is Quadry is really not that good and i wouldnt be suprised if by game 3 it was Stokely and Taylor at the top 2 spots. Oh btw is Snoop Minnis ever gonna get added? He played great yesterday

Here goes...first release, hot off the press: :-)
QB - Aaron Brooks (may RUN for as many TDs as he throws...the guy is that athletic)
QB - Matt Hasselbeck (enough has been said on him...cheap and has performed well in preseason)
WR - Peter Warrick (one of few potential weapons on a weak offense...also returning punts will help)
WR - Kevin Johnson (if he stays in cleveland I'll keep him...if he goes to NO, at best he'll be a #2 behind Joe Horn)
WR - Darrel Jackson (Hasselbeck favorite target thus far, and he performed well last year)
RB - Edgerrin James (S.T.U.D.)
RB - Corey Dillion (see part one of Peter Warrick above)
RB - Ron Dayne (I needed another body, and he seems to be a popular pick...personally I don't follow the Giants, so I'm not completely sold here)
TE - Jermaine Wiggins (cheap starter...at least he's still listed as #1 on the depth chart)
K - Jose Cortez (cheapie again who should see some decent action in SF)
D - Seattle (best D I could see for the money I had left)
With this lineup, I have some decent cash left over ($2.62 mil to be precise), so upgrading should be possible if the need arises.
Critique away! :-)

Solid team RunNGun. The only positions I'd personally reconsider are D and your 3rd RB. I've heard Barber will be back for game 1 (but if he's not, Dayne's a good choice). Alternatives in the same price range (actually a bit cheaper) are Jackson (Cleveland) and Barlow (SF -- I'm not 100% sure he's starting). I wouldn't take Seattle at this point because a) With a lot of new guys, you can't be sure the D will come together (it may take a few weeks), and b) with some key injuries, they may not be as strong as projected. Jacksonville or NE (for the first 2 weeks -- Cinci and Carolina) are other good options you can afford. Good luck.

Here we go (1st draft):
QB: Trent Green - will KC be the next STL?
QB: Brad Johnson - DAL, PHI, MIN. But is he healthy?
RB: Michael Bennett - Jump on the bandwagon now
RB: Garrison Hearst - Too cheap not to pick
RB: Priest Holmes - will get the yards, but what about TD's?
WR: Keyshawn Johnson - Finally will get the damn ball (see Johnson)
WR: Brandon Stokley - Elvis has to throw to someone with no RB
WR: Troy Brown - See Stokely
TE: Bubba Franks - why not
K: Jose Cortez - always pick a rookie on a high scoring team
DEF: New England - Cinci & Car. Switch to SD in week 3.
Please comment/criticise. Like the team, but I'm not sure about the $$$ making abilities (where's Richard).
This team also leaves me with $5.52mil left - a little more than I'd like to keep.

Scare,
I'd upgrade RB's alot. You have three sleeper picks IMO. At least get one solid guy in there. KJ is a good week 1 play but I'd move out after that. As a general rule try to stay away from QB & No 1 WR. You are looking at a big double whammy if something goes wrong.

I just had a funny thought. Are we all ruling out McNair as one of our picks. I would even categorize him as a probable sleeper. None of us realy bring up his name, yet we all know he is a good QB with fantasy potential. Week 1 he has Miami (which could be dangerous, cause they are strong defensively), but then CInn & Jax before the bye week. With a 6mil price tag it could be a good pick... Hummmm???

Scarecrow:
QB: Trent Green - will KC be the next STL?
I like his early schedule and the players he has around him.
QB: Brad Johnson - DAL, PHI, MIN.
You forgot the bye in Week 3.
RB: Michael Bennett - Jump on the bandwagon now
His pass-blocking and pass-catching skills are suspect. The Vikings just traded for Travis Prentice and Doug Chapman isnt out of the picture yet. Bal, Tam, and NO in 3 of the forst 5 weeks. All these things scream wait and see to me.
RB: Garrison Hearst - Too cheap not to pick
He may be cheap, but he also may be riding the pine. Best case scenario (early in the season) has him splitting time with Kevan Barlow.
RB: Priest Holmes - will get the yards, but what about TD's?
Im not even sure he will be getting the yards because Tony Richardson is still hanging around.
WR: Keyshawn Johnson - Finally will get the damn ball (see Johnson)
I have seen no evidence that TB will go from a ball-control offense to an air attack. Keyshawn will still see the ball more, but he will also be seeing plenty of double teams as well. Plus the bye in Week 3 hurts.
WR: Brandon Stokley - Elvis has to throw to someone with no RB
Could be a nice suprise with a new (better) QB and a great early schedule.
WR: Troy Brown - See Stokely
$6.27M for a reciever on a bad team is too much, especially this early in the season.
TE: Bubba Franks - why not
Has potential, but wont be on my team.
K: Jose Cortez - always pick a rookie on a high scoring team
I like the pick but "always pick a rookie on a high scoring team" isnt the best advice.
DEF: New England - Cinci & Car. Switch to SD in week 3.
Great schedule on paper but with their Offense going 3-and-out often, I expect the D to be on the field too much. They will (probably) get tired and surrender yards and points. I think Tampa Bay vs. Dallas is a much better matchup.

QB: Hasselback/Brad Johnson
RB: Faulk/George/S. Davis

I'm leary of Plax...As long as Slash is at the helm his numbers will be low. Facing Jacksonville week #1 won't help his cause much either. Since he has a week #3 bye I'm going to use the first 2 weeks to evaluate him and then decide if he'll make my week #4 team. Rolling the dice for 2 weeks is too much of a waste IMO.

Agreed, Pride. The least settled spot on my roster. That he should get returning yards is why he's there now. There are so many attractive sleeper (getting tired of that word) picks at WR. Coles and Stokley look pretty solid, so I'm willing to take more of a risk in the third slot if the upside looks big enough.

here's how i'm twisting at the moment.
Warner, Hasselbeck
coles, pinkston, burress
edge, jamal, holmes
chamberlain
cortez
tampa bay
1.440 in da bank.
i hate the receivers except coles but pinkston and burress should start and that's good enough for me in week 1.
i scared shi*less of the cheapo defense and would hate to take a (-) opening week. i may go this way with another team and load up at running back but still have time to make that decision.
I'll tell ya what. TSN made it tough this year with their dollar values. I really don't see that many underpriced players out there right now. perhaps next week some will emerge but for right now things look pretty tight! TF

K- W.Richey( dont trust a kicker who played in XFL
D- Pittsburg,( san diego looks like a great pickup after their buy week) will downgrade then

Just read on rotowire that hearst is clearly the starter in SF. Also my sources ( a rabid knowledgeable viking fan named sean) tell me that Bennett is THE MAN in Min. we paid $27 for him in our H2H auction draft so he better be!!!! Seriously he (bennett) has won the starting job in Min and may be the fastest guy in the NFL. TF

Pride,
I am in total agreeance
Flood,
I like the look of your squad. You got Warner, 2 stud RB's & TB's Def. Plus $$ in the bank. Very interesting. You are making me rethink my WR's. Right now I have Na Brown, but am tinkering with Pinkenson instead. But Na returns punts too. I also have Moss and that is where a lot of $$ is being utilized. I am a big advocate of going short there, but he is looking too good so far.
I just hope the IPO Snoop at short $$.

PC, know what you mean about Moss but IIRC minnesota travels to balt in week 2 and i would hate to use two trades to unload moss. surely there is not another receiver you could or would want to spend that kind of money on at this point in the season. moving moss 1-1 would leave cash in da bank that you could use elsewhere.
I am also thinking about warner>green and jamal>eddie george. decisions, decisions. TF

You are worried about Moss matching up with Baltimore (see Jimmy Smith, Week 2, last year), but not Eddie George against Miami's defense in week 1?

Well the great thing about Moss is it really doesn't matter who he is playing, he still is VERY dangerous. I will not be unloading him until the bye week anyway. I would keep him vs. Baltimore so losing a trade ins't an issue.
The places that I am thinking about freeing up $$ is QB. I have McNabb and Hassleback. I am going to keep Hassleback cause I am sure he'll be a $$ gainer and should definitley get some good #'s. But McNabb with St.L I am thinking he should do well however he has TB week 2. So I am thinking about B. JOhnson, but then again I have the same problem, but less $$ spent on him. I am seriously considering McNair cause I can hold him for 3 weeks, 2 of which vs. CInn & Jax. And the 6.2 mil price tag is lovely... The first week vs Miami isn't though..

TF -
This is the quote from Rotowire you were reffering to: "Hearst has been named the starter for Sunday's season opener against the Falcons. We still think Kevan Barlow will see his share of playing time, but for now, Hearst is the man."
Simply being the starter doesnt preclude you from splitting time. Same reasoning can be applied to Bennett. I dont doubt Bennett will be a very productive fantasy back as the season wears on, but it doesnt appear that he will be in on all passing situations and his early schedule is extremely tough. I am a little wary.

McNair has never been a good fantasy QB. He has only passed for more than 3000 yards in one season, has never passed for more than 15 TDs, and had 0 rushing TDs last year. His rushing yards just do not make up for his deficiencies (sp?) as a passer.

cheo,
no telling whether Edwards plans to get Jordan enough touches to make him worth a valuable RB spot. There just doesn't seem to be a cheap option at RB right now. If Tiki Barber isn't ready for wk 1 then (IMO) it is definately worth it to to have Dayne until Barber returns, even if it is only one week. Unfortunatly, Fassel refuses to commit one way or the other and I don't think we can count on Dayne playing the whole game. Priest Holmes' schedule sucks. Oak and Gints are both excellent defenses and Was and Sea are both pretty loaded too. I don't know if I'd take a stud RB against those four in the first four weeks, so I can't see playing around with Priest Holmes and The Chiefs even though they do look pretty good. I suppose after a few weeks we'll have more options once one or two feature (or committee) backs get injured or lose their job. Until then, I think it best to skimp wherever you have to so as to stay strong at RB.

Well I think vs. Cinn & Jax he might have quality #'s though. Tenn does have 2 very strong WR (IMO) Mason & Dyson. Plus there is the Wycheck factor. Oviously vs tougher comp I am not big on McNair, but against the lighter part of the schedule why not? I am still not sold on him don't get me wrong...

MC, truly i'm not worried about anything that has to do with fantasy football;). yes it's a concern and that's the reason i said i'm thinking about george and the main reason why he's not on my team presently. that, and his big toe. LOL!
dgrooves, i agree with you but i really don't want any back that is sharing time on my tsn roster. bennett will get the bulk of the carries and with his speed he's a threat to bust one on any given play. do you really think that chapman and prentece are going to get a lot of carries? i'm more concerned about chapman getting goal line carries. for the record bennett in not on my tsn team but my viking fan H2H partner insisted that bennett be on our roti team, geesh!
as for garrison hearst NEVER! this guy is a disaster. i've waiting for him to show something for YEARS. we all can do better that hearst so can the 9er's. TF

EGL, yes Faulk is fine and he will be starting the opener. Ok im startin to get pissed about changing this all the time and im ready to give up. Let me know if this is a keeper....please!
QB- Green (Hes gonna have numbers just as good as Grbac did last year with KC if not better if he stays healthy)
QB- Hasselbeck (Cheap price will get me lots of $$$ and oh yeah good production too...i hope!)
WR- Stokely (Beat out Taylor and is a Grbac fav.)
WR- Coles (Great Preseason, everyone owns him)
WR- Pinkston (Continuing the cheap wr route)
RB- J Anderson (Back to health and will have huge numbers with that schedule)
RB- James (No explanation needed)
RB- Dillon (I dont care what his schedule is, hes downright nasty!)
TE- Chamberlain (Pro Bowl year now that hes in Minnesota and that offense)
K- Kasay (Back to kickin 60 yarders again. Was a top kicker before injury and hes only 150grand more then Cortez and hes proven)
D- Tampa Bay (Dallas matchup just rings TSNP in my ears)
Im planning on rotating TB Defense into San Diego week 3 and upgrade at a few positions with the extra cash. Im just hopeing i didnt spend to much on my TE/K combo but i think there value is worth the combined price of 3.29mill. Let me know what u guys think, thanks!

CC -- Your first concern should be repacing Holmes as your kicker, since he was waived by the Giants. You also have three players who have byes in week three.
TLE -- Williams is almost exclusively used as a blocking tight end. When they go to a two TE formation, Fulcher is the one who caught a couple of TD passes during pre-season.

Y2JS yours is a keeper.
I think TB def as a cash reserve is a fine way to go. I think playing off DAL and CAR this year for "D" will go a long way to racking up points.
You can hear the laughs from here if DAL picks up Leaf.

Trent Green
Chris Weinke (for some reason, i'm gonna keep him just to see how he does wk1)
WR
Marvin "Snoop" Minnis
Brandon Stokley
Laveranues Coles
RB
Jamal Anderson
Stephen Davis
Warrick Dunn
TE
Anthony Becht
K
Brett Conway
D
Jacksonville
------------------------------------
I kept about 3.16 mil in the bank. I could use it to upgrade a spot, or I can keep it just incase Weinke does horrendously bad. Then I can upgrade the QB slot.
Thanks for the help in advance.

I guess it is pretty ballsy to go with Weinke, but I guess it's best to go with my gut (although most people will say it must have been the Pizza I ate today) but, I have a feeling he'll do good.
Who are your QB's? Actually, e-mail me. It'd be nice to have an ally in the world of Fantasy Football. It's my first year, and the guys in my division don't like me all that much.

Stephen Davis is a money running back, but having watched the Skins preseason, I would really hesitate to pick him up right now. While he is the main offensive option and Coach Schottenheimer will certainly feed the running game, the offensive line looked ATROCIOUS throughout the preseason. It was awful to watch. And if the team plays as poorly as it did in the preseason, it will be playing from behind quite a bit, which forces them to go downfield with Jeff George's arm.
I would wait a couple weeks to gauge the effect on Davis' numbers and allow the line to gel a little bit more before picking up Davis.

Stretch Nuts- I hope the Skins OLine has shaken the rust off and is ready to go by the opener. I really think that he will dominate this year but I think a great deal of his effectiveness will be catching the ball out of the backfield. Up til now he has been labeled a one dimensional back and put in the same category with Jerome Bettis and Corey Dillon but I think this year Schotty will give him a lot of chances as a receiver a la Kimble Anders in KC. This will further increase his value and even in games where the Skins have to go to the air he may still be a valuable player to have on your roster. I predict a HUGE year for Davis solidifying his position among the top 3 running backs in the league.

How about this:
QB
Warner- bargain at that price and nice sched after the opener.
Griese- looks poised for a big year and not many have him, good sched also(may change to hasselback)
RB
Staley-should have big numbers, improved air attack should open it up for him
Jamal Anderson-sched and improving from injury
Ahman Green- could change but if healthy should produce.
WR
Coles- seems set to breakout
Stokley- easy sched and Grbac should help
Bradford- may change but ahd some nice plays with Favre in preseason
TE- Franks- who knows Just remember Favre likes to use the TE around the goal line
K
Cortez-everyone has him
D
Browns- lookin for a team to get to week 3 and pick up the Chargers.
1,130 left over may downgrade Warner or Griese to Hasselback and get the Tampa D but I have that done on another team and would like try something different.

tommyd - I am probably the biggest Eagle Hater on the boards but it is only because they are so OVERRATED! How has the passing game improved. They've brought in a 3rd WR from Washington and their number 2 man is only a second year receiver who has yet to prove himself. First round draft pick Freddie Mitchell has been relegated to the 4 hole behind Na Brown. If anything Duce Staley, who I also think is a tad overrated (Snoop Minus Syndrome) will make the receivers look better than the are because he will open up the pass a bit more. The loss of Bubba Miller at center could also hurt Staley's numbers as it will force a inexperienced player to jump in at center and a rather old Jim Pyne to play guard. I'm not as optimistic for the Eagles offense as many are. I'm staying away from Pinkston, Duce and McNabb.
Another reason you may want to steer clear of Duce...check out McNabb's rushing TD numbers. A team leading 6 which to me means that near the goalline he likes to call his own number. Not good for a fantasy back.
I'd spend the extra coin and grab Stephen Davis or even Warrick Dunn.

CP - I'm not an Eagles fan either, but your statement about McNabb's 6 TD's is very misleading, based on the fact that he was without an RB for most of the year. I do agree that McNabb is overrated, but it remains to be seen what Duce can do for an entire season, if healthy. For what it's worth, I chose Gannon over McNabb in one of my drafts...

CP, thanks for the input that's why I put my team out there. I guess the main problem I have is whether any of the cheap RB's will produce like Henry, Jackson, or the RB with San Diego. Originally I had Jackson instead of Green and could upgrade Staley to Taylor but the uncertainty of the cheap RB's shyed me away from it and I remember Staley started off strong last tear so that's what I went with. The question is who will get more points: 2 medium range RB's or a cheapie and a stud. On the subject of the Eagle's air attack I just felt it couldn't be much worse than last year with Charles Johnson. There has been a lot of hype on these boards about the some of the Eagles receivers like Pinkston and Brown plus the addition of Thrash who put up decent #'s when he played with the Redskins last year. You're probably right just giving some of my ideas. If I knew about Jackson or Henry starting for sure I would probably go with one of them and upgrade Duece. I still might, that's the fun of these games and again thanks for your input it's very appreciated.

May want to upgrade Faulk and the Rams receivers for the week-- Troy Vincent got hurt in practice and preliminary report is he won't go this weekend-- 2nd string CB's are decent but definately a rung lower than the starters-- given 2 secondary starters out for the game and the amount of man coverage the iggles usually run the Rams look a little better to me...

K,
I am going with McNabb & Hassleback at the helm. I like McNabb to get some points vs. St. L and I will probably drop him the following week which will give m a lot of $$ to work with and a chance to jump on a hot cheap (or atleast cheaper) QB (Hopefully)... We'll see...
Oh and don't worry about alies, there are plenty here. Just don't be an ass and realize who are the ones that know what they are talking about. There are a few of them out there.
Stretch,
Yeah you know Shotty will run the ball like a champ. Ball and Clock control is his forte so no matter what Davis will have the ball. However I am sort of hesitant just cause SD has a very strong run D.
CP,
Stop hating on the Eagles. They are not overrated and neiter is McNabb. He is the REAL DEAL and now that he has some speed at WR he will be a lot more effective. MARK MY WORD. The D is STRONG! With a potent offense they will be a contender (if they can beat NYG). We'll see if Duce can recover and the passing game is effective.

Check post 75. McNabb lost his starting center. When I solicited opinions on whether this may actually be a potential hidden blessing for McNabb fantasy owners because it may cause him to have to scramble more, resulting in extra rushing yards for him, Challenger offered this:
"Bolster? What if McNabb fumbles the snap because of the 2nd string center? Who gets credit with the fumble? McNabb"

RE post 91;
Testeverde's a crapshoot, a good week 1 gamble I suppose, with shoddy Raiders secondary coming in wk 2 if he does well. I'd be quick to dump him if he tanks against the Colts though. Also, Colts weakness is their run defense not passing D. Their passing D is probably better than some think. I wouldn't count on Bect getting many looks. He totaled 16 receptions last year for a total 144 yards. This year, Vinny has more weapons than he's had since '98. I believe Chrebret, Coles, Hatchett, Martin and Richie Anderson (led all Jets in receptions last season with 89) will all get more balls thrown to them than Becht. Still a good choice IMO, because he will probably get some attention as the new offense calls for Vinny to spread it around and he is cheap.

I may change Stokley for Coles ???

Dunn(love this matchup)
TE- A. Becht (cheap)

I don't trust Holmes. Get rid of Brown and insert Coles or another cheaper wideout (there are plenty of WR options under 3mil) and use the extra cash to dump the Priest. Oakland's running D is pretty tough. And I frankly don't think holmes is that good. Also, I like the NE defense for week 2 against the Panthers but you gotta move them after that.

I would upgrade J Rice to a #1 WR like D Jackson or Q Ismail.

Is Green going to be splitting time with Levens?

This morning's Milwaukee paper on Green and Levens:
Running back Ahman Green said he expected to play Sunday, though his injured groin probably will prevent him from being at full strength.
"I am working through a little bit of rust, but it is more of a day-to-day thing," Green said. "I know I will probably be out there. I don't know what percentage I am going to be, but I am going to be out there."
Green returned to practice this week after a strained groin forced him to miss the final three exhibition games. Running-backs coach Sylvester Croom said Green would start Sunday, with Dorsey Levens, who has a broken left hand, also available.
Looks like Green is preferable to Levens, but I suspect neither is going to turn in a stellar performance on Sunday. I hope that suspicion is wrong, though.

I think the longer this thread goes, the more all of our teams start to look the same... Anyway, here goes:
QB: K. Warner, C. Weinke
WR: L. Coles, T. Pinkston, B. Stokley
RB: J. Anderson, R. Williams, M. Faulk
TE: B. Chamberlain
K: J. Kasay
D: Seattle

Oh yeah, I saw that the Eagles pro bowl CB Troy Vincent has a banged up knee and is questionable for Sunday against the Rams... Even more reason to look for a big game from Kurt Warner et al

even though my minn d has been less than stellar in recent years, I think with their new attitude, taking a rookie qb is a very risky (gutsy) call. frankly, i figure weinke for 2 int's this week, so no way I'd touch him.

I think this is the team for week 1:
QB: Hasselbeck, Favre
WR: Moss, Coles, Stokley
RB: Staley, Dillon, Holmes
TE: Franks
K: Cortez

debating two positions here:
who do you figure for the most pts in combination:
Grbac+J Anderson orrrrrrr Culpepper+P Holmes
leaning here toward Grbac/Anderson but really not very comfortable with giving up either potential combination. Problem is, only 1 of those pairings will fit given my other position picks and current roster values.

Sarge,
I would say Grbac/Anderson.
Don't know how comfortable I feel with Holmes yet, and Expect Richardson to get the ball in goal-line situations.

Haven't participated much, due to work getting in the way, but here is another look at a week one team.
QB
Warner, Kurt° STL @ PHI $9,950,000
Hasselbeck, Matt° SEA @ CLE $4,510,000
WR
Burress, Plaxico° PIT @ JAC $1,330,000
Coles, Laveranues NYJ IND $2,620,000
Stokley, Brandon° BAL CHI $2,180,000
RB
Faulk, Marshall° STL @ PHI $11,000,000
Bennett, Michael° MIN CAR $5,100,000
Anderson, Jamal ATL @ SF $5,700,000
TE
Franks, Bubba° GB DET $1,630,000
K
Cortez, Jose SF ATL $1,650,000
D
Jacksonville JAC PIT $3,800,000
Cash left - $530,000
Obviously, real heavy at RB, but feel that is where the points are.
Think the WRs will hold up for week one and see where they go from there.
Will probably hold Jac for two weeks and then go to SD if they look okay week 1 against Wash.
K and TE are just cheap and hope to not get hurt.
Cortez has a fairly solid leg, though I wouldn't expect a lot of long ones.
Any thoughts, let me know.
Thanks,
Cliff

OK! this is it and i MEAN IT!!!!!
QB, hasselbeck and farve. farve owns the lowly lions in green bay. pain free and no sign of tendonitis farve should fare well against the banged up Lions. hasselbeck is a risk but he had the 2nd best qb rating during the pre season.
WR, stokley, willie jackson and todd pinkston. this appears to be pretty weak but all three are starters, cheap and possible price gainers. hopefully one or two will have a break out game.
RB, edge, micheal bennett and corey dillon. edge, what can you say. he seems to do well against everyone. i'm not a huge dillon fan but he should get lots of carries this week against a poor NE def. BENNETT. i love this guy (in a manly kind of way). he should have a huge day against Carolina. the vikings will really lite it up this week and in fact on one team i have moss, culpepper and bennett. only problem here is a week 3 bye. this team will not be very trade efficient;), but who cares points IS points.
TE, roland williams, cheap and could catch a few balls and hopefully at TD.
K, Cortez?????????? who knows everyone has him.
D, TB. huge numbers vs Dallas, makes sense to me.
1.560 in da bank. gotta have some room to manuver should the cheapo receivers blow up.
good luck to everyone TF

Here is my opening day roster. Am I doing anything really silly? I know I have a few risky pics, but I'm not playing for second place here.
QB
Green, Trent
Hasselbeck, Matt
WR
Thrash, James (now that the eagles have a running game and a deep threat, they will open up the field and should have some nice offense)
Dixon, Ron (cheap, last I heard #2 reciever and returning kicks at least for a week or two)
Stokes, J.J. (cheap, actually had some big games for me last year. Should show improvement with Rice gone)
RB
Dillon, Corey (inconsistant, but he's catching passes this year too)
Martin, Curtis (Martin has rushed for 785 yards in six games against the Colts. nuff said)
Davis, Stephen (he told me to pick him, he is catching passes this year)
TE
Chamberlain, Byron (cheap good TE that shouldn't get much coverage)
K
Cortez, Jose (cheap kicker starting for a heavily offensive team)
D
Jacksonville (had the seahawks until their corners were destroyed. They play the Steelers, then Chicago, then I'll probably trade)
Bank: $990,000

QB: Warner, Hasselbeck
RB: Edge, W. Dunn, J. Anderson
WR: D. Jackson, Stokley, L. Coles
TE: Chamberlain
PK: Arians
D: Minnesota
I understand that with Arians and Minnesota I'm going against the conventional wisdom of Cortez and Tampa.
Ariens kicked well for Atlanta in pre-season, converting 4 FGs from over 40 yds, without a miss. Also, if you look at SF's stats from last year, they didn't kick many FGs. That's why Richey had so few fantasy points. Buffalo, on the other hand, gives its kickers more chances at FGs.
I saw a couple of Minnesota pre-season game on the dish and I thought their defense was quite improved. And with Weinke probably playing from behind the whole game, I think there are a lot of opportunities for defensive points. Joe Bryant's cheetsheet has them at #7. Not bad for only 1.68M. And it enables me not to have to compromise at the other positions.

Is something screwy happening with this site? I was readin thru this thread and after I was finished, I went back to refresh and this thread was nowhere to be found...but when I hit forward to go back to this thread and hit refresh, it is still here. Something weird is going on. It's probably my computer.

My team atm
Favre I remember him healthy
Brooks superbowl here we come
Willie Jackson(Brooks fav plays SF wk2)
Coles #1wr for 2k with outstanding preseason and mad speed)
Stokley I hate this pick with Taylor in the wings but not his QB/his team or his 2k price
Jamal Anderson(must have)
Stewart(sched)
Staley(vs Stl + why won't he start like he did last year?
Chamberlain (I even liked him before the team change)
Cortez nice price/potential ratio
Jac Ok I'm a sucker for this D even tho they can disappoint
1,980 in da bank
Popular picks I hate
Ahman Green prolly sits or vastly underproduces most of three games with groin
Franks drops everything he sees
Priest Holmes has been teasing and disappointing for years
Stokley but for 2K I had to pick him too
Pinkston will show nothing but flashes
Hasselbeck tho I love his receivers, his coach, the fact that his team has made many moves to improve, tho he made me mad swirve points last year, just have a very uneasy feeling about this team. He's most likely of these picks to prove me wrong still...
Bennett with wk2 in Balt will have to wait to get on my team tho he will eventually
Dillon waaaaaaaay too inconsistant, he's only useful in formats where you can plug him in a select few games and without research I still doubt NE/Tenn/Bal are those select games

Arians is kicking for Buffalo.
I did add him to one team vice Cortez.
Could add him to others, but will go with a wait and see attitude.
