Your RB's are iffy because Tatum Bell isnt the starter and Chris Brown is a giant vagina. Mind you, Brown is great when he is healthy but dont expect it all year. Your WR are in good shop, top 3 would be good. I dont know if I like Brees or Pennington but who knows you gotta take a chance....I would try to deal McMichael and a WR for another RB or TE/RB combo to get another one....you dont need 2 TE and 2 K

If both of your quarterbacks live up to their potential, you should be fine under center... I wouldn't expect Brees to have a repeat of last season, but I expect Pennington to have a career year... if that pattern plays out, don't be afraid to bench the hometown boy for Chad.
For your recievers, you have the best- Moss... followed by Clayon who is a good #2... after that, it is a bit downhill... Lelie is ok, but I'd like a stronger #3.
You have two top notch TE's... I'd try to move one for a top notch back, or WR... if you can sell someone to give you a back for Tony, I'd take it.
Lewis is a solid #1... but after that, you have Chris Brown who is questionable... and Tatum Bell who isn't even the starter right now.
Kickers are good, and defense is great.
moving a TE to get a better WR, or RB is a good idea.

If Mike Anderson is available, drop Bell and pick up Anderson.

No no no keep Bell and wait for him to win out the job, but dont start him

i agree with ralpho, anderson is only starting because bell is in shannahan's dog house... fact is, bell is a better runner. by week 3 or 4, shanny will realize this and begin to start bell
lelie is actually a really good #3... most efficient deep threat in football. 1,100 yards, 10+ receiving td's is great numbers for a 3rd option. but overall:
QB: C... dont like pennington's fantasy value, dont expect brees to repeat
WR: A-... top 3 are superb, colbert could be a steal... kennison sucks
TE: A-... but unless you're starting 2 te's in your league(which i doubt), i'd move one of them for a runner
RB: C+... brown and bell are both in questionable situations for playing time, and lewis is gonna take a few weeks to get back to game shape. but if all 3 are starting, and all 3 are healthy, this rating jumps from C+ to about A-
K- A... shayne graham was a sleeper for me in fantasy, dump carney for a position player
defense- A... only 2 fantasy d's are better, in my opinion... carolina and buffalo

I LOVE this team.
I expect big things from Pennington and Brees this year, they both have the potential to throw 25+ TD's.
Moss, Clayton and Colbert should all have great years. They should get you 30+ TD's and 3000+ yards.
As for your RB's. I really like Jamal Lewis but I'm not sold on Tatum Bell or Chris Brown. Brown and Bell could be 1000+ yard guys IF they stay healthy.
Your TE's and DEF are INSANE.
You should attempt to try to trade McMichael and Brown or Bell for a back like Kevin Jones.

moving a TE to get a better WR, or RB is a good idea. I am thinking the same thing.. I'm thinking Shaun Alexander, but he may be a reach...

youd probably need to trade tony gonzalez AND jamal lewis to get shaun alexander... hes the 2nd best back in fantasy football(although one could argue edgerrin james)

depends on the scoring system of your league, really. some leagues are heavily RB dominated(leagues that give you a point per carry, point per 10 yards, 6 points per TD)... in which case, picking up alexander would be a wise move.
however... some leagues are pass-oriented, where they give you a point per catch(for WR's/TE's), a point per completion(for QB's), while not giving the RB a point per carry. if your league's scoring is QB dominated like this, I'd hold onto Tony Gonzalez, because he could very well catch 100 passes again this year
its your call... even not knowing your scoring system, i myself would hold onto lewis and gonzalez. alexander is good for 1,500 yards and 14 td's, atleast... but on a good year, jamal lewis can match that, and tony gonzalez will catch 80+ passes

I dont think Edge is the 2nd best back....LT,Shaun,Priest are all ahead of him. Dont trade Jamal Lewis, try to package a TE and a RB for a better one

ehhh, incredibly weary of priest holmes... stayed away from him last year, staying away from him this year
yeah, you can definitely argue shaun alexander ahead of edgerrin james. but james had 2,200 yards from scrimmage last year, more than alexander and more than lt... id personally take alexander, because he gets in the endzone more

Too much! Keep Bell and or Brown, who knows Brown might get midol this year and be nuts. Dont dump Bell just yet. McMichael and one of them for a mid level back......I dunno really who. People who take a back in the first round wont deal him unless they get a 1st rounder back.

Priest is a tough choice, I took him and Larry and are just gonna wait it out. Edge worries me because of Peyton, he passes too much. I usually dont look at Edge

I wouldnt take the chance, I go for the straight up running backs because there were times when Edge didnt get that many TD's but when he does touch the ball.....he goes nuts.
