The second pay league I do with friends. We all gathered in my basement this afternoon, and had a great time. All the smack talk is the highlight of the year for me.
Here's how my team turned out. I had the #1 pick out of 12 teams.
QB - Donovan McNabb
QB - Ben Roethlisberger
RB - Larry Johnson
RB - Willie Parker
RB - Dominic Rhodes
RB - Michael Bennett
WR - Torry Holt
WR - TJ Houshmanzadeh *championship!
WR - Nate Burleson
WR - Michael Clayton
WR - Braylon Edwards
TE - Heath Miller
K - Jay Feely
LB - Keith Bulluck
LB - Andra Davis
LB - Adalius Thomas
DL - Michael Strahan
DL - Jared Allen
DL - Bryce Fisher
DB - Darren SHarper
DB - Dre Bly
DB - Rashean Mathis

I do not like LJ #1, but to each his own. I value LJ #3
According to MD Big Ben is out for a few weeks, but I like McNigg.
Good first 2 backs, then a big IF on Bennett, good handcuff though and Rhodes is ok but wont be the starter all year.
Solid WR core, TE, K
I dont know much about the D guys though

Yeah, Ben just got his appendix taken out, which  s me in my other league. But, I don't need him for a while, so no worries. Bennet is a big if. But I needed a handcuff in this league. We are all major vultures, and take pleasure in other's misery. Honestly, I got a better team than I thought I would. Keith Bulluck is a monster. |

Ben Roethlisberger is not a good fantasy quarterback. He wasn't before his motorcycle accident and appendix removal - and he isn't after it. That being said, I think Donovan McNabb will do you well; so hopefully you'll only have to use Roethlisberger on a few occasions. I disagree with Ralpho, as I have Johnson ranked #1 overall on my cheat sheets; followed by Tomlinson and Alexander. Willie Parker, as I mentioned in other threads, is one of my picks to have a big year. I think he will increase his touchdown total, but also possibly put together a 1,400+ total yard season to go along with it. He should be a great #2 RB for you. Dominic Rhodes could be a hit-or-miss with Addai back there. I'm betting on him to win the race, as well, but you never know. Michael Bennett sucks. Even as a handcuff to Johnson, he is a gigantic piece of trash. Torry Holt is a great pick and TJ Houshmandzadeh should have another solid year. I like those two a lot. Burleson, Clayton, and Edwards are all hit-or-miss in my opinion; but at least ONE of them should be able to step it up this year and give you a good #3 WR to work with. Good choices. Heath Miller is a decent TE. I just hope you didn't reach to get him. Jay Feely is a heavily underrated FANTASY kicker (I know he's a piece of work in the actual games). I wish I could give you some response on your defensive players, but I have never been in an IDP league and really don't plan on being in one any time in the near future. I will tell you, though, that Rashean Mathis and Darren Sharper are both top-5 at their respective positions in my opinion; and I also consider Keith Bulluck to be the best linebacker in the NFL - period. |

I still like LDT as the #1 pick over Johnson. I think he is going to have more overall yards than anyone this season.

Well with an unproven rookie QB, hes gonna rely on LDT a lot more this year, especially with the WR San Diego has. Not to mention, LJ has had injuries in his career...LDT has been a rock. You go with the devil you know compared to the devil you dont.
That is why I rate LJ #3
