My Fantasy Football Team - Opinions Please

[Erick "Zap" Szczap]

Okay, this is a 12-team league. All twelve of us are devoted fantasy footballers who have been in the same league for more than 5 years now, so none of us mess around. I had the 10th overall pick in a snaking draft. The roster is 14 spots, with 8 starters (QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, K, DEF). Here's my team, with the round I used to draft them in parentheses...

QB - M. Bulger-St. Louis (3rd)
RB - W. McGahee-Baltimore (1st)
RB - R. Brown-Miami (2nd)
WR - R. Moss-New England (4th)
WR - C. Johnson-Detroit (5th)
TE - Vernon Davis-San Francisco (6th)
K - Jeff Wilkins-St. Louis (10th)
DEF - Denver (11th)

Bench - Brett Favre-Green Bay (9th)
Bench - Fred Taylor-Jacksonville (7th)
Bench - Chris Chambers-Miami (8th)
Bench - Randy McMichael-St. Louis (12th)
Bench - Vikings (13th)
Bench - Jason Hanson - Detroit (14th)

I made sure I had no bye week conflicts. I have a decent backup at every position, but I only go one-deep across the board. I tend to keep thin in terms of depth, while putting more value into my starting lineup. I felt I reached a bit on my WRs and TE, but there were no other game-changing WRs left when I finally picked Moss in the 4th, and I'm high on Vernon Davis this year. Calvin Johnson was worth a shot in the 5th too, when it was between him or Lave Coles and Coles would've had the same bye week as Moss, so I took a chance on the rookie.

Thoughts? Opinions?

I think your 1st running back pick stinks but i do think Johnson is going to have a big year

[Erick "Zap" Szczap]

I know exactly what I have in Willis, the good and the bad, and I expect solid production from him. He's not elite, but he'll carry the load in baltimore, much like Jamal Lewis did. He's a grinder who gets goal line carries. With the 10th pick, I felt he was the best available RB.

[Carey Nick]

My Yahoo sucks!!! Will post the new one soon. Too crapy to post the 1st one.

[Jeramie Towle]

I think you would have been better off picking coles over Johnson personally. McGahee was a solid pick considering in most drafts rb's are going right off. Your QB's could go either way. I will post my list soon.

[Robert Bishop]

The little i've seen of Johnson i can tell he's going to be a star but whether or not it starts this year is another story.When the lions first drafted him i wondered until after i saw him play.As bad as the lions have been there passing offence should be alot better than its been

[Robert Bishop]

It wouldnt surprise me if Johnson made 1000 yards this year and make rookie of the year

[Jeramie Towle]

thats a big gamble for johnson to make 1000 yards this year

[Erick "Zap" Szczap]

Yeah, it was a gamble, but the other receivers weren't very spectacular. I took a risk on the college stud. I'm not that big on Coles, and he has the same bye as Moss, so I avoided him for that reason too.

[Robert Bishop]

When you picked McGahee was the overall 1st pick or your 1st pick?We have our draft this saturday and i have the feeling that S Alexander will be back to his old self this year

[Erick "Zap" Szczap]

He was my first pick, 10th overall. Alexander went third in my draft behind L.T. and Jackson.

[Jeramie Towle]

wow jackson went that soon. over LJ? thats crazy.

[Erick "Zap" Szczap]

Larry Johnson has a nobody at QB, a questionable defense, and wasn't even signed at the time of my draft. There were reasons his stock fell. And even then, he only fell to 4th.

[Jeramie Towle]

I can understand that. Although I do believe he is a better pick than jackson. everyone knew he wasn't going to sit out the season.

[Erick "Zap" Szczap]

It's a tough call. It's a tougher call than most years. Usually you have about three guaranteed studs (L.T., Alexander, Faulk, etc). This year there's question marks as early as the 2nd pick. I actually didn't mind having the 10th pick.
