Alright,





Lets start from the bottom up:





Defense- I don't like the colts defense this year although many people do... I would trade them for a sleeper. (eagles D are primed for a huge comeback) As for the Panthers, I like them more than the Bears this year...





Kicker- Vanderjagt is having problems in training camp, not that many people know about it, so you should trade him and someone (like Wayne) for a top starter... Remember, Neil Rackers came off of the FA wire last year.





TE- I really like heath miller as your backup on account of the fact Big Ben won't have Bettis to run 9 TD's on 10 carries anymore. To tell you the truth for Gonzalez, I had him on my team last year and this year, but he was and will be a bust... for his calibour player. Heap will have a monster year so try trading gonzo for him.





WR- Johnson is a really good pickup along with Fitzgerald but I have a problem with taking anyone on those top-tier offenses. (i.e. Colts and Cards) Larry Fitz. has Boldin, Pope (high drafted TE) and of course James. I think Fitzgerald will get alot of yards again but see his TD # cut a lot. Same with Wayne. I'm trying to trade him right now... There will be more touchdowns to go around on the passing side of the football without James now, but with Harrison, Wayne, Clark, and HUGE sleeper Stokley (Peyton wants to "bring back Stokley's 10 TD year.") I think the only sure fire bet would be harrison.





RB- Trade Willie Parker. Period. He's way too risky in a "run by committee" offense. You should get a good deal with him and Wayne for a sleeper WR and a top RB. see how that works out. Larry Johnson lost Roaf but will remain in the top 3. I've seen alot of skeptics for McGahee although I think he should be a solid backup.





QB: Your taking a slight risk with this injury affected group of QB's... Palmer should be back to old form, although his numbers from last year were unhuman. Big Ben seems to have not been affected that much from his accident. Surpringly, I have to say Delhomme is the most injury AFFECTED QB on your team. Why? Because his top receiver, most of the team's offense for that matter, has an injury that really hurts a players explosiveness. If Brunell is still on the waiver wire, I really like him as a backup due to his receiver core, Cooley as the H-Back, and Portis keeping defenses off guard.





I'd say you have a pretty good team with a kink or two at running back and TE.
Reply:Great Team... For a four team league you have like 2 1st round draft picks. But a good team.
Reply:Your team looks great. There is no way in hell there was 10 people in this league. You had to been in a 6 or 8 man league. Anyway you have 3 really good RB (LJ being the best in the league this year) WR's are out of this world Johnson and Fitzgerald good lord man. QB is great if he can play the first few weeks and if he can't Delhomme is a great backup, a lot of people are starting him this year. Gonzalez is always solid even though his performance has dipped in recent years, and he could be asked to drop back and block more like last year now that Willie Roaf has retired. DEF is great and who cares about Kickers. All and All I would say your team is a





10 man league- 10


8 man league- 10


6 man leauge- 9.6
Reply:9. you should have drafted a 4th receiver instead of a 3rd qb
Reply:very good. Big Ben should be good this year. I have my doubts about LJ though. He lost Roaf.
Reply:10 I don't know how you could have done any better.
Reply:looks good, where there only four people in the draft?
Reply:10
Reply:thats why cause there is only 6 teams! Thats not fair!
Reply:I'll give you a 9.5. I see your weakness being at RB. That being said its only because your other positions are so strong.





Questions are going to be -


Will Palmer be effective after the surgery?


Will Larry Johnson be Ok with his weaker offensive line?


Will Willie Parker be as effective as last year?





Man you are going to be fine with this team unless somebody else has Peyton Manning, Steve Smith, Shaun Alexander, Tiki Barber.
