Atomic Punk's Dream Team
QB - B. Rothlisberger, PIT (8) 5.07
QB - K. Orton, DEN (7) 9.07
Roth is a solid, steady QB who puts up good numbers virtually every game. McDaniels ego alone guarantees Orton will succeed.
RB - S. Jackson, STL (9) 1.07
RB - R. Brown, MIA (6) 3.07
RB - J. Jones, SEA (7) 8.10
RB - S. Morris, NE (8) 17.07
I'm in the camp that says SJax will rebound. New coach, new o-line, healthy QB ... if only two of these things come true SJAX should have a great season. Ronnie Brown is due for a career year. No need to say anything further other than to point you to his thread. A RB3 starter in round 8 is amazing and Morris is a complete steal at his draft slot.
WR - V. Jackson, SD (5) 4.10
WR - M. Crabtree, SF (6) 6.10
WR - D. Hester, CHI (5) 7.07
WR - N. Washington, TEN (7) 11.07
WR - J.L. Higgins, OAK (9) 12.10
WR - C. Schilens, OAK (9) 16.10
Maybe one of the weaker groups, but still very serviceable. I like VJax's potential. Crabtree is a mystery, but I think SF will do everything possible to utilize his skills. I almost passed on Hester due to the week 5 bye, but I think he will turn in a solid year with a lot of big weeks. TEN didn't sign Washington to big $ to sit on the sidelines, so he should be good for a few big weeks. I also love the "homer" picks in Higgins/Schilens and think they will perform to a WR3 level.
TE - A. Gates, SD (5) 2.10
Top 3 TE ... need I say more. Also allows me to consider not backing him up and getting better depth elsewhere.
K - S. Gostkowski, NE (8) 13.07
K - L. Tynes, NYG (10) 15.07
D/ST - Baltimore (7) 10.10
D/ST - Oakland (9) 14.10
Many ignore kickers/defense, but they have saved my bacon a few times in past survivor leagues. Both are solid combos, although I may have jumped the gun with the Baltimore pick.
What's not to love about this squad? Top 3 contender!
Cool, let's put a sig bet down on that.
