i agree with cutler and warner being pretty good options as well, but i might have tried to get brees, romo, palmer maybe? but you're right, if you play the matchups according, you should be good. ;-D

Big Pimpin wrote:Here's my team... 12 teams, standard scoring, no PPR, start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 RB/WR...

QB - Cutler, Warner
RB - LT2, Jacobs, Perry, Stewart
WR - Edwards, SSmith, Marshall, Ocho Cinco, Burleson, Morgan
TE - Crumpler
K - Rackers
DEF/ST - Seattle

I'm trying to move Jacobs and a WR for a better RB, but other than that I'm quite happy. A bit WR heavy but happy.

Yeah if you can move Jacobs/WR for an upgrade at RB then you'd be set. I'm not sold on Jacbos staying healthy all season. For a huge guy he is extremely brittle.

Love Cutler this year and Burleson as well. Perry and Stewart are interesting.

Thanks.

I actually like the guys who cross over to this side like Knapp, Deeray, Duran, yourself, etc but football is so boring to talk about.

Here's mine in case anyone is interested (10 teams, .5 PPR, starters marked with *):
QB- Hasselbeck*, Bulger
WR- S. Smith*, Holmes*, Cotchery*, A. Gonzalez
RB- Addai*, Johnson*, Jacobs*, Rice, J. Jones, Forte, Norwood, Booker
TE- Heap*
K- Rackers*
DEF- Seattle*

Bronx, I actually have a somewhat similar team to you, only mine isn't as deep since it's a 14 teamer. I didn't really do much research this year, probably only a few days worth. I pretty much used two threads on the light side to help with my preparation; one was a 'draft targets' thread and the other was 'who has impressed you this preseason'. I definitely have a few too many rookies, but I prefer to pick high upside guys in the later rounds than the more proven, unspectacular vets.

14 Team league, 20yds/pt passing, 10yds/pt rush&rec, 0.5 pts/catch, 20yds/pt ret, 6 for all TDs.

QB Brett Favre (NYJ - QB) - Round 9, Pick 116
WR Marques Colston (NO - WR) Round 3, Pick 32
WR Santonio Holmes (Pit - WR) Round 4, Pick 53
WR Jerricho Cotchery (NYJ - WR) Round 5, Pick 60
RB Joseph Addai (Ind - RB) - Round 1, Pick 4
RB Reggie Bush (NO - RB) - Round 2, pick 25
TE Tony Scheffler (Den - TE) - Round 11, Pick 144
W/R Devin Hester (Chi - WR) - Round 8, Pick 109
K Matt Stover (Bal - K) - Last pick
DEF Philadelphia (Phi - DEF) 2nd to last pick

BN Felix Jones - Round 6, Pick 81
BN Chris Johnson (Ten - RB) Round 7, pick 88
BN Matt Schaub (Hou - QB) - Round 10, Pick 137
BN Ray Rice (Bal - RB) - Round 12, Pick 165
BN Steve Slaton (Hou - RB) - Round 13, Pick 172
BN DeSean Jackson (Phi - WR) - Round 14, Pick 193

It's so weird, I say the same thing about baseball. At least we can agree that talking hockey is like nails on a chalkboard right? :-D

Believe it or not but hockey used to be my best sport. I think I won an ESPN league like 6 years in a row or something. It is all about loading up on stud defenses and picking the right goalies. Offense is replenished every year.
