Your WRs are great. I like your QBs also, I think you'll have Bledsoe starting for you before the end of the year. Not a lot of people know about Michael Pittman, but I think he'll have a good year after getting out of Arizona. Fred Taylor.........if he stays healthy (big if, as you know), he'll be good for you. I don't think Stephen Davis will do much for you. Spurriers offense in the preseason was 2 to 1, pass over run. Could be even worse in the regular season if they're behind a lot. Portis could be a good sleeper........wait and see. Your bench WRs could start on a lot of fantasy teams, you might want to see about trading for an upgrade at RB, especially if Glenn gets his act together.

My salary cap league goes like this....

QB's - Favre, Vick
RB's - Eddie George, Olandis Gary
WR's - Santana moss , Antonio Bryant
Defense - Dallas

As you see, i haven't had a draft on my other team, but this is a basic salary cap league where you pick the guys and only have 30 mil. I think that having one strong QB and a strong RB will really help me. Vick should do pretty well, and Moss and Bryant will be surprise guys who can really produce. Olandis Gary is a good back-up RB who gets about 40-50 yards a game, which is solid. And Dallas's defense will be very good this year. We have a great LB tandem, and our Safeties will be awesome.

Thanks for you comments. About Stephen Davis, I don't think Washington will be behind in that many games; their defense is incredible. The thing is, Spurrier will probably keep passing anyway. He loves to run up the score. However, Spurrier ran a lot more at UF than is reported. Davis will get his.

Hey! I was just offered a trade in my Sports Line team. Someone wants to give me Emmit Smith for Jamal Lewis. Although i'd like to have Emmit because i'm a Cowboy's fan, i'm not sure if that be a decent trade. What do ya think? Any advice on this or about my teams would be great!

In my opinion, that's a pretty tough one. Jamal Lewis, if healthy, will probably end up with better numbers than Emmitt, but that's IF he stays healthy.

On the other hand, after Smith breaks the rushing record, there's a CHANCE his carries will go down. It's a gamble either way, but if it was me, I'd take Emmitt.

Mark · 09-06-2002, 04:16 PM

stay with emmitt. As a cowboy fan for 7 years, i've seen him break down only 2-3 times, and each time was only about a week or two. He is very durable and gets solid yardage most games. Jamal Lewis, if healthy, is good, but not much better than Emmitt. I say keep emmitt.

i now have 4 different teams

i just like to experiment with different lineups. In one of my public leagues, i'm leading the way so far. I have Vick and Favre on that team, and Eddie George. thats a salary cap game. The other three are draft ones, and i have a bunch of different guys.

RogueWarrior · 09-10-2002, 08:43 AM

I've got 4 teams in 4 different yahoo leagues. One is public and the other three are private with different settings than default. Two of the leagues use individual defensive players, two team defenses, one has no kicker, one only counts offensive TDs, no yards or receptions, etc.

After one week, I'm 1-0 in all four leagues...........so far, so good.

Mark · 09-10-2002, 08:52 AM

Well i'm in a CGR league, and we start counting the points this week, since we had our draft last week.

my team goes somethin like this....

Qb - Peyton Manning
WR - Joe Horn
WR- Rod Smith
RB - Ahman Green
RB - Travis Henry
TE - Shannon Sharpe ( picked him off waivers...)
WR/RB - Deuce McAlister
Bench - Kevin Dyson
Bench Darrel Jackson
Bench - Michael Pittman
Bench - Drew Bledsoe
Bench - Desmond Clark
Kicker - Mike Vanderjagt
Defensive Players - Champ Bailey, Dexter Coakley

RogueWarrior · 09-17-2002, 12:38 PM

All four of my teams are now 2-0 after two weeks and I'm leading points in two of them.

If you look back, I was originally dissappointed with my draft. However, I have had a complete change of heart. My team earned 104 pts in week 1 and 129 pts in week 2! I never expected that.
