Our draft is on the 21st also. I got the 5th pick in a league of 12. And Conscious, you must be playing in a league of morons to have that lineup in a 12 man league.

I would trade one of your QBs, your RBs and WRs are fairly week except Westbrook i think. Did you take Culpepper in the first round...if so, thats not smart, in my opinion...but who did you take in the second round? The only person i see that is a round one or two pick is Culpepper?

by **LeVar Burton** » Sun Aug 21, 2005 6:03 pm

Yeah, I got Brady around the 6th or 7th round with the sole intention of trading him. I took Culpepper first round (I was the 5th pick). I think he's the same calibre QB as Peyton. I know alot of people think he'll go downhill without Randy, but I think he might do even better without the "randy ratio." I can't remember if Westbrook was my second pick or Jordan. You have to remember, I'm not playing in the special ed league. Seriously, how do you end up with your lineup in a 12 man league?

by Conscious* » Sun Aug 21, 2005 7:22 pm

Why would you take Lamont Jordan second? Or even at all....does he even start? Sorry to offend you but 5th pick on Culpepper i think is a really bad idea, especially if you got Brady in the 7th round,i love having Brady start for me, ive won 3 straight winners leagues with him as my Starter.

Round 1: Randy Moss
Round 2: Marvin Harrison
Round 3: Curtis Martin
Round 4: Mushin Muhammad
Round 5: Tom Brady
Round 6: Brian Westbrook
Round 7: New England
Round 8: Deoin Branch
Round 9: Mike Vanderjagt
Round 10: Ricky Williams
Round 11: Bubba Franks
Round 12-15: Staley, Alex Smith, Delhomme, Ben Watson

Well, the fact that you're asking if Jordan is a starter shows how much you pay attention. He was Curtis Martin's backup in NY, but did better than Martin when he was in. He's Oakland's main man now and hes big which means alot of goal line situations. I don't know why you think Brady is better than Culpepper. Culpepper outscored Brady by a considerable amount last season. And I believe you've won 3 years in a row when the other people drafting don't know their ass from their elbow.

No actually i wasn't sure if he was starting for Oakland, but taking him over people that are proven (C.Martin, and a ton of other RBs that are still left taht early) isn't smart. Taking a QB that doesn't score a zillion points like Manning isn't worth it when everyone else will have decent QBs. You'll see that WRs are the key to fantasy teams. Almost all team will end up with one top notch RB, and one mediocre RB, and except for Manning and occasionaly Culpepper, everyone has semi equal QBs. Then that leaves WR, when you have 3 WRs that catch 10 plus touchdowns against teams that only have 1 or usually even none...is a huge advantage. Also Special Teams are extremely important, and Seahawks defense is shaky.

by **LeVar Burton** » Sun Aug 21, 2005 10:43 pm

I'll make a bold prediction here: Jordan outscores Martin in fantasy points.

Secondly, Culpepper does score a zillion points... not like Manning's record breaking season, but close. Thats why he is second to Manning in most leagues preseason rankings.

Thirdly, RBs and QBs are the top notch scorers in basic fantasy football. Yes, it would be great to have WRs that score 10+ TDs a year, but in my league there would be no way I could draft Moss and Harrison in the first rounds and still get Martin, Brady, Westbrook, Patriots D, Vanderjagt. Is your league viewable to the public? I'd love to see what kind of lineups the other teams in your league have.

Thats a 10 person league. You said 12 originally. Your lineup is believable with two fewer people drafting.

by **Sabres** » Mon Aug 22, 2005 1:34 pm

Here is my team that I drafted yesterday. This is a league with all my friends. We have 10 teams, each manager paying $20. The starting roster is below with 6 bench spots.

QB -- T. Green (KC - QB)
WR -- T. Holt (StL - WR)
WR -- Mi. Clayton (TB - WR)
WR -- Ro. Williams (Det - WR)
RB -- L. Tomlinson (SD - RB)
RB -- D. McAllister (NO - RB)
TE -- J. Witten (Dal - TE)
BN -- J. Plummer (Den - QB)
BN -- Ro. Smith (Den - WR)
BN -- R. Brown (Mia - RB)
BN -- L. Smith (Phi - TE)

K -- A. Vinatieri (NE - K)
BN -- N. Kaeding

DEF -- Philadelphia (Phi - DEF)
BN -- Cincinnati (Cin - DEF)

I'd love to hear feedback and comments from you guys about my team. Thanks

Looks pretty good. I have Roy Williams also, but I'm a little worried about the fact that they have Charles Rogers healthy, along with Mike Williams and Marcus Pollard. They'll probably be spreading the ball around, but Roy is good enough where I think he'll end up with 1000+ yds and ~10 TDs. Dan Campbell is healthy again, so I'm not sure if Witten is going to be on the field as much as he was last year, but you have a solid backup.

by **Sabres** » Mon Aug 22, 2005 2:12 pm

Thanks LeVar, anyone else?

by Conscious* » Mon Aug 22, 2005 2:55 pm

You'll definetly be in the top 4, especially if Clayton plays good.
