Essti has a solid team as well. His WR's are his weak point, and TE is ok but not great, solid defense, will give up yards, but will get alot of sacks, and INT's.

You have a playoff team, barring injuries. Congratulations on a solid draft.

I have Ronnie in my big-money league. I hope your right. I just don't see 17 TD's from him

Well I think alot depends on how much we throw the ball this year, I can see him, and Ricky getting alot of recieving yards, because of the threat Marshall brings? So he might get over 10 TD's, just not running it!

Any bets that T.O. gets over 1000 yards this year? He looks like Palmer's new favorite target.

I agree, I think T.O. and Carson both have rebound years this year.

Over 1K yes, favorite target - don't know. In the preseason, Palmer may be throwing a lot to TO to get timing down, and TO is going to kill a vanilla defense.

In the season defenses that play the Bengles will have to pick the poison. TO might look the favorite at first, but as soon as teams key on him, 8-5 becomes the favorite target. I do expect Palmer to have a career year, as long as he can deal with two WR crying for the ball non-stop.

I am higher on TO than I am on Ochocinco

I think Ocho will be crying when T.O. is getting the ball week in and week out and making big plays. JMO....He had 829 yards and 5 TD's with two scrub QB's...(Fitzpatrick and Edwards) throwing him the ball in a crappy offense. he now has Palmer who is 5 times the QB that they ever were. Actually I think both will get over 1000 yards this year...and hopefully Gresham getting many looks for my fantasy team.

Leftwich went down which hurts the value of the Pitt WR's the first 6 weeks.

Hardesty goes down too which helps the value of Jerome Harrison

I just ninja'd Derek Anderson from the waiver wire.

That isn't awful to take a flyer on in a 14 team league. The guy had that one magical year in Cleveland. If he can come close to that, with the group of WR's he has in Arizona he might be decent. At least a a back-up/spot-starter in that crappy division the NFC West

Don't forget, first game is 4 days away on Thursday night. Have your rosters ready....(at least if you have any Saints or Vikings)

Had my big draft last night, wont bore you guys with my whole team but I did something a little goofy; took Ronnie as my 2nd RB (Ray Rice is my top)in the 5th rnd. then came back in the 7th with Ricky, if Rice stumbles or on his bye week i'm thinking about starting both of them in the same week.....a little risky, but the way they both produce not out of the question.

I have Ronnie in my "big $$ league" as my #2 RB as well. With AP as my #1. I almost did the exact same thing taking Ricky for the "just incase" moment a round or two later. But I didn't in the end. I went with Jerome Harrison in Cleveland (this was before Hardesty went down). But I like your thinking and logic Dolphaholic. That makes perfect sense.

It all begins TONIGHT!!! 14 team Phins.com fantasy football league!!

Ricky Williams autograph 8x10 picture on the line.

Best of luck to everyone!!


P.S...don't finish in last place, you don't want to win the booby prize and have to own that and hold a year of shame! lol

9 points by AP...WTH????

At least Berkeley's kicker (Garret Hartley) had -3 so I am up by 12 points.

That was truly a boring game.

Hartley sucks. But I really hate the negative points for misses. Not getting the fg is penalty enough

true I agree....but not this week. lol

I bet team mediocre wishes they would have started Hakim Nicks...3 TD's..25 points

Matt Forte 31 points

Arian Foster 43 points

P. Manning 36 points and lost to Houston!

Arian Foster....I love that guy!! lol

I love my team.

This is gonna be a great league. Not gonna have to pay for shipping and mail that photo out!

P.S....but I will have to mail out that "booby prize"...lol lol

1not sure you can count on 43 points from arian foster every week!

Lol yeah, not to mention the Colts never had a good run defense.

Good man!

MikeO, what is the deal with waivers? I ask b/c I put in for B Jackson and didn't get him, but he went to a team that won last week (I lost). Should the waiver order be the team with the worst record gets dibs?
