Fantasy Football (the real kind) thread!

[BTlaxripper]

Post your starting rosters! Here's mine.

QB - M. Hasselbeck (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/4416)
RB - R. Brown (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7178)
RB - T. Bell (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/6800)
TE - A. Gates (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/6663)
W/T - C. Chambers (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/5499)
W/T - Ro. Smith (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/3328)
W/T - A. Bryant (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/5949)
K - M. Stover (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/1078)
DEF - Pittsburg (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/pit)

My only notable backups are Brett Favre and Ronnie Brown.

It's actually my first serious fantasy football team, we had a live draft and everything it was pretty sick. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Opinions on my lineup? Your lineup?

[NewEnglandLaxer]

Tatum Bell isn't a starter. Put in Ronnie Brown. He was my 1st round draft pick in like 2 drafts

Here's one of mine:

QB:Jake Delhomme
RB:Ronnie Brown
RB:Willie Parker
WR:Plexico Burress
WR:Chris Chambers
WR:Eric Moulds
TE:Chris Cooley
DEF:New England

[anjang86]

Learn how to spell Pittsburgh. Also, it looks like you didn't pay attention to the RBs. Also, it looks like you have a good WR in Chambers, but he's a risky pick. Also, your best pick: Gates, isn't going to get you a lot of points.

You lost before you begun. Give up.

[anjang86]

I agree he didn't pay attention to his running backs. Chris Chambers is a great pick though. He put up good numbers with Gus Frerotte at QB and Culpepper looks great. Gates is going to get top 5 numbers MINIMUM. He's a great TE and even though Rivers is inexperienced nothing can change Gates' skill.

Gates is his best pick.. but he's not going to get the points that a "best pick" should get.

Thats why he should give up, now, he's lost before he's begun.

I just want to make clear real quick that I did a mock draft today and it sucked (I had the 13/16th pick). Also, I want to also say that I didn't even do the draft last year and still won my league. You just have to know who's gonna do what when and at what time against who and to what extent and will it help you.

That's the trick folks.

[BTlaxripper]

I told you I was inexperienced. You don't have to be so harsh.

Yeah I knew I messed up on my RBs.

NOT POSSIBLE

they are all first round draft picks so your making it up unless there are only 2 people in the draft

[EI Lacrosse26]

hah i know i have 2 teams in one league (im the commisioner) and we needed 1 more guy to draft and so i had first 2 picks and got shaun alexander and LJ and than traded all my good guys to make one amazing team my friends said it was lright though cuz im paying and extra 15 bucks

and another thing Mr. Fantasy football quarterbacks usually dont go 1st round your supposed to take running backs the first 2 rounds

[NewEnglandLaxer]

I know that but if you read the mock drafts, they say that peyton and carson are 1st rounders

[NewEnglandLaxer]

we cant see the team because we arent in the league but i understand how you did it. I did that last year in a money league without telling people and had a stacked team.

[dlax13]

newengland..thanks for the help there, i wasnt sure

does anyone know who carolinas starting rb is?

[thaizzman]

yeah well i accidently drafted umm reggie bush, so my team sucks

[NewEnglandLaxer]

Reggie Bush is going to be good, you will getgood fantasy points for him

I know my QB aint great, so hopefully i can get a good one from a trade

[shooter]

:WTF:

The real kind?

Like where the ball only touches 4 guys feet the entire match? And those are the guys who spend 98% of the game on the sidelines sipping down powerrade.

The correct term would be 'The American kind'.

i do cuz than i win alotta money

[cavgoalie7]

when posting your teams, say how many people are in your league so we can judge your team better

[NewEnglandLaxer]

Here is my main one. It involves 8 kids from my school and we each pay 5 bucks. 2nd place gets money back and winner takes rest.

Heres my team:
QB-J. Delhomme:Great potential for getting alot of yards. A somewhat weak running game allows for more passing yards. He also has 2 great weapons in Steve Smith and Keyshawn Johnson

WR-P. Burress:Obvious #1 receiver. Could have a great connection with Eli (like harrison and peyton) pending on the fact they dont fight. He has great size which allows him to get alot of catches.

WR-J. Horn:#1 receiver. Just increased his fantasy stock with Stallworth being traded. The only problem with him is his age and he is injury prone.

RB-R. Brown:Will be great this year as a second year RB. No more Ricky Williams mean more touches for him

RB-S. Jackson:Great RB with great speed. Fantasy stock just dropped with the signing of Stephan Davis. Jackson may end up on my bench if he doesn't become a finisher

W/R-W. Parker:Amazing speed. Fast Willie no longer has Jerome who will be a finisher. He should increase from his great year last year

TE-J. Witten:Had a great year last year and will again in the Dallas offense.

K-J. Reed:I just drafted a reliable kicker and that was him

DB-C. McAllister:Great DB and is reliable to have a great season

DB-B. Dawkins:Star of the Eagles defense. He will get many int's and tackles

DL-D. Freeney:Will get tons of sacks for my team

DL-T. Spikes:Drafted in hopes that he returns to his way of the 04-05 season. Could be on the bench if he doesnt do well

Bench-
D. Bledsoe:T.O,Glenn,Witten,Jones. Has a great receiving group and he should be able to find someone

V. Davis:Drafted in a late round in hold for a breakout. Has great speed and size

D. Brees:Use for trade bait if needed. Could be helpful in a bye week or late in the season when other teams are playing backups

M. Jones:Will be the #1 receiver for the Jags this year, has great size but lacks speed. Will be a good backup when needed

F. Gore:Gore will take Jackson's position if Jackson can't get TD's. Gore will have a great year this year

A. Lelie:Recent pickup. May work his was as my starter if Horn doesnt get a good connection with Brees, or if Vick can get the ball to him

W. Sapp:Enough said. Reliable. Has done well forever. Could take Spikes roster spot.

D. Hall:Great DB and is a star on the Falcons

This is ridiculous man.

What exactly do you do week-to-week that warrants participation in a FF league? What about the other people who payed their due hoping that they all had an equal shot at winning as the others?

handlebuzz-

Your team is looking good except I'm skeptical on one of your players. Im unsure how McGahee will do and you don't have a good backup for him, seeing as Jamal Lewis may not even be the starter. You should probaly pick one up in free agency.

homskillet313-

Your team is really good. I can see you winning your league with that team depending on the other teams. You only have one small weakness which is nice. That is Big Ben and howmany yards he will pass for without Randle El. But that is just a very small one.

[reLAXing3]

I know that but if you read the mock drafts, they say that peyton and carson are 1st rounders

Yeah thats something good to consider, because they do get you the most points, or atleast all the leagues ive played in before.

One year i played in a league using two qbs. I drafted McNabb and Manning first round....i cleaned house in that leage.

[Aussie_kid]

i had a good week last week, won all my matches.
Ahman Green = Great Sleeper

[Farny]

In a league of 12:

QB: Kurt Warner
WR: Chad Johnson
WR: Chris Chambers
WR: Donald Driver
RB: Larry Johnson (Thinking I should've gone with LT)
RB: Warrick Dunn
TE: Randy McMichael
K: Olindo Mare
DEF: Philadelphia

BN: Fred Taylor, Frank Gore, Mark Brunell, Isaac Bruce, Kevin Curtis, Brad Johnson, Mike Bell

So, yeah, I would say that I'm pretty stacked in the RB department.
