1. How do you guys think things will shake out with the STL WR group....think there will be some points to be had there in a McDaniels offense but who ends up starting...?...you got to think Amendola will see the field for sure but what about WR1 and WR2..?
Avery-Clayton-Alexander-Gilyard-Robinson-Salas-Free Agent, etc...
2. If you knew right now that on August 15th Tebow was announced the starter in DEN and Orton was dealt elsewhere, so it was really just Tebow and Quinn.....where would you honestly rank Tebow fantasy-wise? Is he in the top 10?
Thanks.

Guys, your show is phenomenal, so keep up the great work. I want your opinion on QB/WR/TE connections. In my auction dynasty league I have Vincent Jackson and Jimmy Graham for the next few years. Is it worth going after Brees or Rivers, to get the hookup, or am I better off going after Rodgers or Manning, the other studs that will be available? I'm leaning towards Brees, but I'd love to hear your thoughts.

SUBJECT: IDP SCORING
Hey Guys, hoping we have an agreement by next week and regular Training Camp soon!!!
I am always searching for ways to achieve balance between the Offensive and Defensive scoring in my fantasy league, during my search I came across the following article http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2011/04/10/fantasy-house-rules-the-quest-for-an-idp-scoring-system-the-findings/
I will appreciate your comments on the IDP scoring system proposed, any recommendations are welcomed.
For your reference my starting lineup is 22 players (1DEF + 10 IDPs)

Hi Guys, two questions for you and your wisdom. The first one is about Win Now Vs. Taking Risks, and the second about a specific player.
1)In my Contract Dynasty League i just need a QB#1 to be the best team in the league. I've got a very nice proposal that will net me Brees (1 Year, 16$) plus a high 1st Rounder for Marshall (2 Years, 11$). The only thing that is keeping me from pulling the trigger is that both Rivers and Brady are Free Agents and can be acquired without losing Marshall, but it is impossibile to predict what is going to be their salary and if i'm going to get them after the blind auction.
Would you do the trade and get Brees with his 1 Year Contract and become the best team in the League or will you rather gamble and hope to steal Brady or Rivers with a 3 Years Contract, with the risk of having Josh Freeman as Starter if things go wrong?
Keep in mind that The owner wich is selling me Brees is Rebuilding, so he will not interested in trading Brees when the auctions for Brady and Rivers will be over.
2)I can change Brees + High First in Brees + Low First + Johnny Knox (Minimum x 2 Years). What would you do? What is Knox outlook for next Season in non-PPR Leagues?

Hey Guys, great show. I know you don't like talking about the new CBA, but I have a question that is semi related.
IF, there is a rookie salary cap, and you pair this with the short career of most RB's, will there be a shift of talent in younger players to move to LB or safety or maybe even WR.
My thoughts on this is due to the potential for an LB or DB to progress through 2-3 contracts. Where a RB, especially a rookie, may be stuck with a rookie cap and then when their contract is up, they are worth less and have trouble signing a big contract.

Please help settle the scuffle between the the Patriot TE's. Obviously, Hernandez is an elite player vs the knuckle dragging, mouth breathing, wife-beater-wearing Gronkowski. What say you?

Hey guys. Dynasty Greg here. Hope all is well with you guys and your families.
My question this week revolves around three guys who I'm very surprised were not drafted: Terrance Tolliver, DeAndre Brown and Chad Span. I took flyers on all three of these guys in various deep dynasty leagues. Obviously, all three of these guys will be signed once the CBA is done, but given the elimination of the off season schedule, will any of these guys be able to prove themselves enough to make the final roster and contribute this year?
Thanks as always for your insight and opinions.

Finally not working a night when the show is on!
I opened the DRAFT DOMINATORRR this week and a few things stand out...
Ryan Fitzpatrick 3011 yards projected. He averaged 230yds last year = 3680
Now it would defy logic to say he wont at least match these numbers. One more year with the same guys SJ + Evans(sleeper) and its his team now. Yes, some say he slowed from teams catching on to Chan Gaily effect. He will still be slinging it in that tough division. Underrated
Cam Newton Rush yards at 266? Same as Garrard? lol Cam will have more rush yds than Tebow which is proj at 425. Even Jason lead-foot Campbell is proj at 225.
Thats it for now, look forward to the show! bang bang

Contract Dynasty league management question:
I run a contract dynasty league similar to the one I played in with Bloom a few years ago (BCCDL) and we normally have a month long RFA period starting after the 4th of July weekend that runs for about a month.
Some owners are arguing that we should postpone our RFA period until something happens with the labor agreement and the NFL's free agency period gets going because there are too many questions about what players will end up where and what their situations will be like. I understand this sentiment, but I'm on the fence about whether or not we will have enough time to complete our RFA period if we wait. What would you guys do in this situation? Would you want to wait until things shake out with the CBA negotiations or would you proceed with business as usual?
thanks for all you do!

Cant miss the chance to have you distnguished gentlemen pontificate on a subject of my choosing
Been playing around with the concept of fantasy points / target as a way of identifying WRs with upside / downside.
Would love a) your quick thoughts on this approach (obviously this is only one lens)
b) specifically if can comment on a few players that I pulled from the upside/downside ranks from 2010 (i.e. does the eye test also suggest what the #s do?)
Upside
These 2 would be alone in Tier 1 based on FP/Trg
Mike Wallace
Kenny Britt
Top 5 based on FP/Trg
Manningham
Ford
Downside risk
Top 10 in 2010 FPs but
Reggie - 44th in FP/Trg
Roddy -37th
Stevie J - 29th

Love the show guys! I would love to hear your thoughts on drafting in deeper leagues. This year will be my first in a 16 team league. I cut my teeth years ago in 10 and 12 team leagues but this is my first one with 16. It's a start 1qb/2rb/3wr/1te/k/dst league. Any thoughts about the value of certain positions being more than others or how to take advantage of earlier or later rounds would be great. Thanks guys!
Hey guys!
If you have time . . . In a Dynasty League that combines the rookie draft with free agents, how would the following free agents stack up against this year's rookie pool?
QB: Matt Flynn, Brian Hoyer
RB: Jalen Parmele, Tyrell Sutton, Jason Snelling
WR: Jacoby Ford, Jordy Nelson, Eric Decker
