You know, I remember when I thought up the topic of this thread, I didn't set out to create the greatest thread of all time. It was more wondering about an interesting camp battle with impact on my fantasy roster.

Then it took on a life of it's own and I just sat back, almost in the background...watching as it went on this exciting journey.

I know one day we'll all be looking back at this period as almost a 'right of passage' sort of thing. Thanks for your inclusion.

Really, does this matter?

Will either be a FF assett this year unless you get good point for special teams?

With Portis, Cooley, Santana, and the existence of the other (whoever you don't pick), will the #2 vs. #3 distinction make on iota of difference?

In short, if you're counting on either one except as an emergency or in case Moss gets injured, you're in deep trouble.

Joe Gibbs paints Brandon Lloyd as a talented deep threat, but also makes the case that Santana Moss is the best in the business at that very role. Randle El, having been interviewed many times, was cleraly given assurances that he would a) be a starter [he's referred to himself as the starter in just about every interview, Lloyd has not] and b) would be more involved in the offense [he's talked of that repeatedly too].

Now, the Skins could've been blowing smoke to get Randle El signed, but ultimately I think whoever is the nominal starter is almost irrelevant for fantasy purposes. Barring an injury to Moss or Cooley, neither of these guys is going to make enough plays to warrant consideration in 10- and 12-team redrafts as anything more than a bye week fill-in.

Lloyd: He's 'Smooth As Silk'

By Gary Fitzgerald

Redskins.com

July 5, 2006

Brandon Lloyd caught a short pass from quarterback Todd Collins, then abruptly cut right to burst into open field. He slowed to a jog as he approached the end zone.

Running right alongside him during the mini-camp practice at Redskins Park?

It was associate head coach-offense Al Saunders.

"That's the way," Saunders encouraged Lloyd. "That's smooth as silk. Smooth as silk."

Washington Redskins associate head coach-offense Al Saunders's description of wide receiver Brandon Lloyd's skills are fluidity and smoothness. On the field, Lloyd is so fluid in running routes and catching passes that he sometimes makes it all look easy. Off the field, he is upbeat and positive. It's safe to say that Lloyd has adapted quickly to his new surroundings. Saunders and the Redskins brought in Lloyd to add a dynamic presence to the passing attack on offense.
