what you guys think

Not a bad group. You got LT - that is always a nice start. I don't know how many guys in your league and the rules, but I'd only carry one TE at this point since you have Crumpler. Your WRs look inconsistent to me - meaning huge weeks and down weeks (then again they are WRs and that somewhat comes with the territory). It will be interesting to see who emerges as your #2 RB.

I agree with Pablo... not a bad group. I do have a great concern for your #2 RB. Denver might have the "Giedra?", "three headed monster", of RBs and Taylor is not a sure bet and may not last the season. I'm still a stickler for a sure starter RB for my #2 and perhaps take chances for #3 & 4. It would be interesing to see what RBs were available after you picked Bell. I might hold onto Watson for a bit if your in a 12 person league to see if you can trade him to someone whose TE goes down (J. Stephens, Seattle). If your in a 10 or 8 person league, I say ditch him. You may want to pick-up another def, I'm not overly thrilled with Cinci's Def, especiall if Carson Palmer can't play or is injured. With two def's you can play matchups.

Good Luck!!

No back up D?

I like to keep my RBs to 3 (you can get decent players on the waiver wire or via trades) and keep backups at TE (unlike Pablo). Last year I drafted Gonzo and he had a merely average year, so I had to get another decent TE...tough to find a producer mid-season. I made sure to get a guy with breakout potential this year though.

Definitely a good group with decent back-ups.

You carry two D's?

Depending on the size of the league I MIGHT, but I usually save that spot for a guy I see on FA or something like a backup TE, rather then a backup D.

During the bye week I just move my leady productive or needed guy to waivers for the week and pick up a D from FA then after the week is over, make the switch back.

What's the size of the league?

I carry (yahoo league):

2 QBs (Carson Palmer, Brad Johnson)
3 RBs (Larry Johnson, Ahman Green, Cedric Benson)
4 WRs (Roy Williams, Eddie Kennison, Randell El, Deion Branch)
1 W/R (Reche Caldwell)
1 TE (R McMichael)

2 Kickers (Rackers and Janikowski)

2 Defenses (Chicago and Dallas)

3 Defensive players (Bertrand Berry, Lofa Tatupu, and DeMarcus Ware)

Let me know what you think of my team. I'm in a 14 team league, 6 pts. for passing or rushing TD, 15 yds/pt. rushing or receiving. I had the #1 pick.

Good stability here. Nobody will light up the stat column, but you shouldn't be looking at a lot of picks.



LJ is a number 1 pick over LT or SA. Droughns is a good #2 who I expect will repeat from last year. Barlow is a good pick up. You could upgrade Brown if need be with someone on the waiver wire (DeAngelo Williams, etc).



I love TO's game...but Parcell's has never had a 1200 yard WR in 18 years. Not to mention, Bledsoe has some man-love for Terry Glenn. I like the pick, just hope it wasn't a top 3 round pick. I like Evans, especially if Losman is starting. They're like bread and butter together. Lloyd is a decent snag, but he'll be fighting for PT. Moulds is a good pickup, especially since D's will be focused on Andre Johnson. I think Moulds, though on a decline, will outperform expectations.



Shockey is a career underachiever. He should be putting up 1000 yard seasons, but he doesn't, because he's lazy. Just listen to him talk. However, he puts up good numbers and he's a great take. Scheffler is going to be good in the future, but I don't think he'll do much this year. Though, Stephen Alex-nohander is absolutely aweful.



Excellent take. They're going to be a top 3 D this year.
