So I finally had my draft tonight...My team is a ton better than what I had last year:

It has a QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, Flex, TE, K, Def

Derek Anderson
Joseph Addai
Edgerrin James
Reggie Wayne
Greg Jennings
Tony Sheffler
Robbie Gould
...didn't pick a defense, will grab one before next Sunday

on the bench I have:

Justin Fargas
Chris Perry
Ahmad Bradshaw
Kolby Lewis
Ladell Betts
John Kitna
Patrick Crayton
Antwaan Randle El

Obviously I have a lot of RB's on my team. They'll get filtered out eventually.

Pick up Tim Hightower and get rid of Kolby Lewis.

LOL that draft was brutal if I heard most of the 1st round picks correctly.

FishFanInPA · September 6th, 2008, 12:22 PM

Is that Shaun Suisham's wife/gf? Well done for the kicker.

Mark · September 7th, 2008, 11:51 AM

So...in a terrible choice of options, should I start Patrick Crayton (vs Cle) or Justin Fargas (vs Den) at the flex position?

FishFanInPA · September 7th, 2008, 11:55 AM

yikes...Crayton probably.

Mark · September 7th, 2008, 12:09 PM

I meant to start Randle El there, but totally forgot they were playing early to start the season.

I'm pretty much screwed this week.

MiamiHomer · September 7th, 2008, 03:01 PM

I'm feeling really good about my money league team with the RB tandem of Willie Parker and Brian Westbrook.

FishFanInPA · September 7th, 2008, 03:05 PM

I'm going to rue the day i took Galloway over Cotchery.

Moss · September 7th, 2008, 03:06 PM

I got auto-drafted Willie Parker in all 3 of my leagues (pre-ranked my players), and I'm totally loving it right now. 25 carries, 138 yards, 3 TDs. And they're up big heading into the 4th so you know he's gonna add to that total. Leading all of my teams to week 1 victories, baby.

Matt Wilson · September 7th, 2008, 04:56 PM

I've had a crappy day so far in my money league. Jones-Drew, Colston and Roddy White all duds today. 17 points out of Randy but that would've been more with Brady. Brees ended up with a decent enough day, so that helps. I've got Selvin Young going tomorrow, he has Romo right now and Peterson tomorrow. I is fucked.

FishFanInPA · September 7th, 2008, 05:03 PM

I'm up now too with Fitzy and Vinny Jackson and he has Winslow and Selvin Young and my lead is collapsing.

MiamiHomer · September 7th, 2008, 05:10 PM

I like how my first week is going.
(My team is on the left side)

Peanut · September 7th, 2008, 05:50 PM

Who should I pick up for Brady, here are the options:

Matt Ryan, Trent Edwards, JaMarcus Russell, Jeff Garcia, Tavaris Jackson, Chad Pennington, Damon Huard

Count Bass D · September 7th, 2008, 06:01 PM

Well I think Russell will get a lot of yards, but Ryan seems sexy there.

Matt Wilson · September 7th, 2008, 06:01 PM

I like Ryan's upside but he's playing at TB next week. Atlanta's offense looks legit with Turner keeping the D honest.

Depending on how long Brady will be out, your best bet is probably to go with the best matchup for the week. But long-term I think Ryan will be the best bet. But who knows, we'll see what Russell does tonight.
