As long as Brady is healthy, you're good to go.

Moss, then Brady. PPR and 6 points per TD. 14 team league. Was planning on going Chris Johnson and Steve Smith, but didn't expect Moss to slip and Smith was drafted before my spot (and I didn't want Roddy White over Brady).Moss at 1.10 & Brady at 2.5 or vice-versa? & is it PPR? 6 pts per passing TD?1.10 and 2.05.drafted today perhaps?

Very nice for you. I think it really pays to think outside the box when at the end of the 1st round, esp. redraft.

Smith before Brady despite 6 pts for all TDs? You said you were surprised that Moss slipped, were you also surprised by Brady there, too?Moss, then Brady. PPR and 6 points per TD. 14 team league.

And what do you do those two times that Moss and Brady play your Jets? Root for the Pats? Bench Brady & Moss? Or just be a cold, hard realist and recognize that the Jets are going to lose anyway?Moss, then Brady. PPR and 6 points per TD. 14 team league.

I think most of us go into a draft (if we've mocked it alot) thinking about a couple of RBs, or a RB/WR combo that we think we will realistic end up with. It sounds like Chase made a decision on the fly when Moss fell to him & was probably hoping then that he could pair him with Brady. Got the hook-up...Smith before Brady despite 6 pts for all TDs?

QB: Tom Brady, Marc BulgerRB: Darren McFadden, Marshawn Lynch, Fred Taylor, Rashard Mendenhall, Michael Bush, Mike GoodsonWR: Randy Moss, Santonio Holmes, Torry Holt, Muhsin Muhammad, Mark Clayton, Troy Williamson, Matt JonesTE: Greg Olsen, Todd HeapPK: Ryan LongwellTD: Chicago BearsA couple of explanations:Bulger plays Detroit on Brady's byeI like handcuffing Fred Taylor to Lynch, as Taylor should at least be solid in SeptemberObviously I like Garrard, and I'm hoping either Holt or Williamson has a big year. Probably better off if one of them gets hurt, oddly enough.Love the Bush/DMC handcuff. Actually might play both week 3 vs. Denver when I have Lynch still out. 14 team league. 0.5 PPR for RB, 1.0 for everyone else. 1/2/3/1/1/1 and a flex.

Agreed. I hated pulling the trigger, but I had to.Brees 2.07Rodgers 2.10Manning 2.13
Rodgers went before Manning in my draft, as well as many other drafts I've seen. I do like Rodgers situation but I feel that Manning is going to have a great year. Not as good as Brady, but great.

No David Garrard?
Chase Stuart
Footballguy
He fell to 10.06, which means I would have needed to take him at 9.05. I thought he was great value in the 9th, and would have been very happy to pull the trigger there. If Brady wasn't available, that was my plan; in fact, if Brady was there and I hadn't taken Moss, I probably would have passed and still grabbed Garrard. But the temptation of Brady/Moss in a 300-person league was too great to ignore. In the NFFC, you need to take a bunch of risks to win, and putting your eggs in one basket is a good way to increase your variance. I was at least able to take Williamson and Holt.

I've seen Williamson discussed a lot - and you've now drafted him.

I'm not very high on him. He's a good guy to take, though, because I like being active on the waiver wire. Within three weeks, we should know what's up with Williamson. I don't see a lot of middle ground for him, and he'll either be very good or his typical self. I like him as a compliment to Holt, because I think one of them has a good year but I'm not really sure which one it is.Jacksonville is going to pass well this year, so some WRs are going to have good numbers. Sims-Walker, Thomas, Dillard have all had their ugly moments this pre-season/training camp. It's too tough to get a good read on the situation right now, but Williamson at least has the potential to be the best WR on the team.I've seen Williamson discussed a lot - and you've now drafted him.

Thanks, Chase. I tend to agree with this - with Williamson it's basically a slippery slope, once he starts dropping balls he may not be able to stop. As many have said around here, he does have blazing speed and can get open. It's what he does after that that's the downfall.I think if has a few good games to start the year, he could be huge value this year.I'm not very high on him.

I got Brees and Moss. I like that better.

nobody here is gonna ask why he has a NE RB as a handcuff to Lynch?
Chase Stuart

Not in a league where you need to finish #1 out of 300.Generally, though, I agree.timschochet said:

Taylor is going to start out as the NE starter, which has historically been a pretty good gig. For all the bashing NE RBs take, they ranked 6th in RB FP in '08 and 10th in '07. The starter, when you know who it is, is usually pretty good. The reason NE RBs aren't drafted high is because NE changes starters pretty frequently. But I've got a good enough feeling that Fred Taylor will be the starter the first month of the season, and really, that's all I need. If Fred Taylor is RB12 after three weeks, and ends the season as RB42, that's a good pick for me.
Brady & Moss > Brees & Moss and it's not that close. Bady to Moss will be better than the 2007 version, IMO. Brady has something to prove this year (after missing last year). Stuart's guys will outscore your guys by 50 FPs...easy.
Jewell
Footballguy
I agree with this. Given the state of the Bills offensive line, though, you might want to hope Taylor remains the starter longer than just the first month. I don't see too many touchdowns for Marshawn this season.
The shorter answer would have been: "I didn't really mean handcuff. But I'm not exactly sure what word to use."

I dont understand how Brady, or Brees, lasts until 19th and 21st picks in a 6 point TD league, full of experts

#### you man... You're just a hater. Brady is the BEST ####### QB you have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Recognize.

he's got his own banner ad. I think that justifies a thread to discuss his roster so we can follow how his team does this year.Really... and if anyone else started this thread, they'd be called out for it...Chase Stuart said:

If nothing else, the Seymour trade should slightly bump up Brady and Moss and McFadden and Bush. So I'm on board with this.

Just too hard to pass up. I went Moss/P Manning from the 7th spot in a 12 team redraft, no PPR, but 6 points all TD's. QB's went quick. Anybody going Brady/Moss should be far in front point wise from their QB and WR1 positions, and need a few of the gaggle of mid round RB's (I drafted 7) to come through. If they do, many of us will win our leagues. If not - we will join Chase with the grocery bag for a helmet look.
I no you can't predict weather, but the week 15 (playoff) matchup in Buffalo makes me nervous to build my team around both these guys.. Past history of late season games in Buffalo- including those played by Brady and Moss- could sink your tea due to weather. You can recover from one having a bad game due to weather, but both of those guys could be tough..
