thanks. I need all the tips I can get.

I LOVE Jahvid Best. Especially based on what Hi I'm God said. Dude is a pass catching back playing in a dome and a 2nd year guy coming off minor injury -- he's going to explode this year.

Who are the most improved and least improved run defenses this year?


The Eagles are starting a rookie 4th round pick at MLB? They have those 3 big corners and Vick ... I bet everyone is going to be able to run on them.

The fucl<in Jets look like they have a strong O-line and are strong on D against the run and pass. If there passing game doesn't blow I bet they will be tough.

Issue with best is concussions, he is one hit away from being done....he is solid though. I have Stafford as a keeper and considering rolling the dice that he stays healthy this year

We are doing 14 teams and 21 rounds....

that's like almost 300 players.

Forget Randy Moss -- I will probably draft Osama bin Laden before it's over.

21 rounds is insane.

14 teams is where it is at though. It is hard to get lucky in a 14 team league and it spreads the talent out. The 4th/5th/6th/7th/8th round picks are the ones that will win the league for you.

I would take best WR available. Definately points favor wise receivers. Andre Johnson should be the first guy picked in that league

Looks as though 6 NTers have no fear.



They have self id'd as Fantasy FB Zealots.

There's something about ''Fantasy" Football that just delivers the wrong message.

It's them,right??

Here's how it played out


Mid 1st: Chris Johnson (6th running back -- Titans plays easiest RUN D sched)

Mid 2nd: Vincent Jackson (Contract year -- 7th WR taken)

Mid 3rd: Peyton Manning (10th QB taken ... WTF?)

Mid 4th: Ahmad Bradshaw (He can catch them)

Mid 5th: Colston (Saints play easiest Pass D sched)

Mid 6th: Sidney Rice (SeaHawks 4th longest shot to win Super ball. Garbage time king)

Mid 7th: Reggie Bush (Can catch the football -- and who else can run it for MIA?)

Mid 8th: Brandon Pettigrew (Healthy Stafford -- good young posses TE)

Mid 9th: Pierre Thomas (best RB on a team that projects for NFL's easiest D sched)

Mid 10th: Danny Woodhead (When the Pats sign Randy Moss by week 2 -- this pick will be ABSOLUTELY MAJESTIC)

Mid 11th: Dustin Keller (excellent young possession TE starter)

Mid 12th: Snelling (back up RB in Atlanta. If the ancient Turner gets hurt - this pick is majestic)


Other Notables:

Louis Murphey (14th round) -- OAK's best WR -- one of the many NFL stars who made Tim Tebow look like a real QB in college.

New Orleans D (15th round) -- 11th D taken overall ... NO's projected to win 10.5 games this year .. play CAR twice ... play in dome = Turnovers.

I was planning to draft Randy Moss in the 18th round .. but he got scooped up. Biggest surprise to me all-night. I was going to take Moss in the 16th ... but these 13 other geeks were all studying sheets like mad ... so, I was counting on Moss to go undrafted. Woodhead was the Moss pick though.
