Fantasy Chatter

[zamboni]

Our draft is tomorrow night, got our order e-mailed to me yesterday- 10th in a 10 man league. It is a rebound draft, so I will get the next (11th) pick as well. Thinking a RB and Moss if hes available- if he's not, then 2 RBs.

[zamboni]

BTW- hows everyone think Peytons injury will affect his fantasy draft and numbers this year?

[B. Amish]

i don't know, but romo was picked ahead of peyton in TWO drafts that i've been in.

i sat back and picked up quality receivers while others fought over the top qb's. then, nabbed carson palmer in the 9th round.

[Craigums]

I don't think there will be a HUGE drop in peyton's #'s but they will level off a bit especially with harrison's decline.

Just got back from my draft my team looks as follows:

QB: Drew Brees, Marc Bulger

RB: LJ, MJD, DeAngello Williams, Fred Taylor, Ray Rice

WR: Randy Moss, Brandon Marshall, Hines Ward, Javon Walker, Sidney Rice

K: Shayne Graham, Rob Bironas

A couple good players but im starting to doubt the depth at WR we start 2 RB's and 3 WR/TE's each week. Fred Taylor was more of a hundcuff for MJD, might have to trade him for a solid WR as the season progresses.

What do you guys think?

[zamboni]

Craig- I was told today MJD got hurt last night but haven't seen anything about it online. You heard anything?

[Scott M]

I heard ankle sprain. I think MoJo will be okay.

[Craigums]

haven't heard that. good thing I grabbed Fragile Freddie

[zamboni]

My team:

QBs- Derek Anderson and Jeff Garcia

RBs- Maurice Jones-Drew, Kevin Smith, Willis McGahee and Ahmad Bradshaw

WRs-Terrell Owens, Anthony Gonzalez, Jeremy Shockey, Antawn Randle El, Amani Toomer

Ks- Nate Kaeding, Mike Nugent

Defense- Vikes

[B. Amish]

QB Carson Palmer

RB Steven Jackson

RB Willis McGahee

WR Reggie Wayne

WR Andre Johnson

TE Kellen Winslow

WR/RB Dwayne Bowe

K Ryan Longwell

DEF Pittsburgh

Bench Willie Parker

Bench J. Cotchery

This is my draft from last week. I was pleased. Only problem I have is that both of my QB's have the same bye week, but oh well.

[bassNspear]

not a bad draft. Good bench players.

[mnwild]

Had my last draft last night and let me say some of these people that are in this league are morons its an 8 team league due to 2 people dropping out. They were taking kickers and 1/2 arse QB's by the 5th round. We start 1QB,2RB,3WR,1TE,1K,1DEF

here is what I ended up with

QB- RODGERS,DELHOMME

RB- ADDAI,GRANT,WCGAHEE,K.SMITH

WR- OWENS,FITZGERALD,HOLT,R.WILLIAM(DET),JENNINGS,HARRISON

TE- D.CLARK,J.SHOCKEY

K- P.DAWSON

DEF- SEATTLE

My QB's arent that great due to taking them my last 2 picks but other than that I am pretty solid.

[Scott M]

Nice looking squad. Stacked at WR, pretty deep at RB. QB might not be as strong as the other positions, but maybe Rodgers or Delhomme will step it up.

[zamboni]

I think Delhommes set to have a great season.

[zamboni]

BTW, I hear what you are saying about K's being taken early, but I got laughed at when I took the Vikes "D" early, but they scored a ton of points last year.

[goblueM]

I had a friend draft for me since I was previously busy. Gave him instructions and did ok. 14 team league

QB Derek Anderson, Philip Rivers

RB Westbrook, Jonathon Stewart, Kenny Watson and two scrubs I dunno WHY he picked

WR Colston, Calvin Johnson, Joey Galloway

TE- Tony Scheffler, Desmond Clark

K - Kasay

DEF - Pit

[WittleWaldo]

Some good teams. See a lot of Derek Anderson, grabbed him too.

QB: D. Anderson

RB: C.Portis, J.Lewis, E.James, F.Taylor

WR: T.O., M.Colston, G.Jennings, L.Coles, D.Stallworth

TE: J.Witten, T.Gonzalez

K: N.Folk

Def: Chargers

My one regret- picking the Chargers while the Vikes were available.

This also left me with a team void of the Purple. Shame on me.

[zamboni]

Yeah, Merrimans out for the year.

[Scott M]

Merriman's going to play on it. Sure hope he has one of those Kevin McHale under the table agreements cause he could blow any future money by wrecking himself for life.

********************

Rudi Johnson just landed in Detroit. We'll see if he's got anything left in the tank.

[bassNspear]

ill have to get my teams up here to see what you guys think

[Nate McVey]

In the 14th of 16 rounds right now, 12 player league and I had the 4th pick (wrap around style).

So far

QB: Hasselbeck (keeper from last year, cost me an 8th round pick)

Favre

RB: Addai, LJ, S. Slaton, Justin Fargas, TJ Duckett and Mike Hart

WR: Ocho Cinco, Santana Moss, DJ Hackett

TE: Shockey

Def: Tampa

No kicker yet, but that is next and my 15th and 16th picks will be receivers.

[Scott M]

Got stuck on the road last night when my last draft of the year was held. Funny thing was nobody called me. LUCKILY, I did my predraft rankings and still had a pretty good draft. 8 team league with 2 IDPs, 2 receivers, 2 backs, TE, K, QB, DEF, and a flex.
