Croyle, Brodie KCC QB 18.01
Favre, Brett FA* QB 9.12
Manning, Eli NYG QB 6.01
QBs - Eli is not getting much love, but he performs at a high fantasy level, especially in the early weeks. I feel okay at QB, but if Favre will just find a team to start on (that does not have a week 4 bye) I will feel great.
Forte, Matt CHI RB ® 5.12
Foster, De'shaun SFO RB 21.12
Peterson, Adrian CHI RB 22.01
Portis, Clinton WAS RB 1.12
Williams, DeAngelo CAR RB 7.12
Williams, Ricky MIA RB 11.12
RBs - Not excited about Portis, but if healthy will produce solid numbers. Please get into the end zone, Clinton. Forte is the FBG man crush of the year, and I cuffed him with AP. I am cuonting on the two Williamses to get their best production in the first 5 weeks, DeAngelo because the rookie Stewart is still learning and John Fox is very faithful to incumbents, not wanting to start rookies; Ricky because Ronnie Brown is coming off a major injury, and when Sparano sees both of them run, he will see that Ricky is simply a more talented runner. When either Williams gets into the end zone, my RB stats will be good.
Booker, Marty CHI WR 17.12
Bowe, Dwayne KCC WR 4.01
Branch, Deion SEA WR 13.12
Cotchery, Jerricho NYJ WR 8.01
Jackson, Darrell DEN WR 15.12
Rice, Sidney MIN WR 10.01
Smith, Steve CAR WR 2.01
I love Steve Smith, but he needs a healthy Delhomme. Just stay off your back for 5 weeks, Jake, okay. Bowe's rookie stats put him in elite company; he might explode this year, especially with LJ to force Ds to put 8 in the box. Rice is my pick for WR breakout in 08. He will need Tarvaris to improve though. That's all he can do, right? I think my WRs are deep and solid. Could be my best position
Watson, Ben NEP TE 14.01
Witten, Jason DAL TE 3.12
If not WR, then TE is my best position. With Gates hobbling, Witten is TE1 on most boards. Watson backs him up, hoping his one or two good games come the same week(s) as Witten's off game.
Elam, Jason ATL PK 19.12
Suisham, Shaun WAS PK 20.01
Whatever. Take kickers late, and from teams who will get into scoring position a few times.
Eagles, Philadelphia PHI Def 16.01
Patriots, New England NEP Def 12.01
Pats have a patsy schedule for first 5 weeks. Philly fills in for the week 4 bye against a low-scoring Chicago O whose lowly QB, whoever it is, will be often sacked and Intercepted.
I do not like my team very much, largely due to having the 12th pick, and that the four guys I targeted went in picks 8-11. I reached for Steve Smith, but he is one of the all-time greatest best ball players, so I am happy to have him. I reached with Dwayne Bowe, but my other options were guys with brutal schedules or a bye, and I felt it was too high in the draft for that. I did okay overall avoiding bye weeks, but I will be a little thin in week 4. What I thought I did very well was pick players who have good schedules. I would be surprised if anyone surpassed me in that arena. I expect my players to outperform the ADP for the first five weeks, that is, if I get that far.
