I am ranking the teams this year as follows:
RB’s will be scored out of 10 points (most important)
QB’s will be scored out of 9 Points
Defenses will be scored out of 9 Points
WR’s will be scored out of 8 Points
TE’s will be scored out of 5 Points

Out of 44
Absolute Ricky
QB’s: Matt Hasselbeck, Marc Bulger
Hasselsuck is going into his ninth season in the West Coast offense. His only problem is that he often gets too emotional and sometimes this causes interceptions. With Branch having a full year to work with Hasslesuck I expect him to throw to him much like he did to DJ last season. He had shoulder surgery in the off-season and I think it sets up nicely for a rebound season.
Bulger is Mr. Consistant, He never has a lot of interceptions, he doesn’t make many mistakes and had career best numbers last season. I think he is in for another great year.
Two awesome QB’s….
9/9
WR’s: Darrell Jackson, Chris Chambers, Joey Galloway
If Jackson can stay healthy he is one of the best. The problem is, he hasn’t played a full season since 2004. He is undoubtedly going to become Alex Smith’s favorite target this season.
Chris Chambers is a fucking idiot. I pick him up thinking it’s time for a bounce back year and the fuck goes out and gets arrested for drunk driving and speeding on July 14th. Thanks a lot Chris Chambers… go die.. looks like Mark Clayton is going to be one of my starters now.. FUCKKKKKKKKKKKK
Joey Galloway should be up for oldest man in the NFL award this year. He is fucking old as shit but he somehow finds a way to stay healthy and receive for 1,000 yards last season with god knows who throwing him the football. It can only get better with Garcia, right?
God damn it shows that I didn’t draft a receiver until round 7….
3/8
RB’s: Larry Johnson, MO-JO
Larry was second to only LT last year in the race for the rushing title. He had an absolute BOMB year scoring 17 touchdowns and rushing for nearly 1,800 yards. He does it all, including catching the ball out of the backfield. I’m sure he will see the ball 30+ times a game too because who the fuck else are the Chiefs going to give the ball to?
Please take a fucking nap on Maurice Jones-Drew. Please. In case you were under a rock last season MO-JO ran for 941 yards, splitting carries with Fred Taylor all season. He caught 46 passes out of the backfield for another 436 yards, and oh yea, most impressively HE HAD 15 FUCKING TOUCHDOWNS. Yes… 15. Also, in case you didn’t realize, he trailed only 5 running backs in scoring last season. He scored three less points than Frank Gore last season, and he was a fucking rookie. Please take a nap on MO-JO while he runs wild on your team.
The most incredible running back tandem in the league….
10/10
TE: Kellen Winslow
In his first full season as a pro he had 89 receptions and 875 receiving yards. Those are numbers that are only matched by that of Antonio Gates. Yes, I said it; Kellen Winslow is on the same level as Antonio Gates. Winslow in round 8 is ridiculous and will be one of the best picks in the draft this season.

Defenses: Chicago, San Diego
Best defenses in the league, my only rival is Lance with Miami and Baltimore.

third times a charm
I am ranking the teams this year as follows:
RB’s will be scored out of 10 points (most important)
QB’s will be scored out of 9 Points
Defenses will be scored out of 9 Points
WR’s will be scored out of 8 Points
TE’s will be scored out of 5 Points

Out of 44
Third times a charm
QB’s: Carson Palmer, Jon Kitna
Palmer had his first 4,000 yard season last year but scored 5 fewer touchdowns than he did the previous year. As I said before, last year was a very disappointing year for the Bengals and I expect them to improve very much this year. Look for Palmer to have his best year as a pro this year.
Kitna threw more interceptions than touchdowns last year, but with the help of Calvin Johnson this year I think that will change. Kitna always seems to get tons of points in the fourth quarter of games because his team is always losing. Martz is a pass happy offensive coordinator, so it can never be all that bad for Kitna, he will be solid week after week.
Two very solid QB’s…
8/9
WR’s: Torry Holt, Larry Fitzgerald, Javon Walker
Holt is Mr. Consistant, year in year out he just gets it done. He had 10 touchdowns last year and 1,200 yards receiving. I don’t see him slowing down any time soon.
Fitzgerald failed to get 1,000 yards last season, but was injured for three games. He only had 6 touchdowns, but I think last year was a rebuilding year for the Cardinals. With Leinart the starter from day one I expect a much improved Fitzgerald this year.
J-Walk was sick last year and he will be sick again this year. I expect 2004 type numbers this year because he has had a whole off-season to work with Cutler. This guy is a sure thing.
THE BEST RECEIVING CORE IN THE LEAGUE, HANDS DOWN….
8/8
RB’s: Brian Westbrook, Marion Barber
Westbrook was an animal last year rushing for 1,200 yards and receiving for nearly 700. He is a threat in the passing game and had 11 total touchdowns last season. He was 8th in scoring in the league last season. Even if McNabb isn’t healthy Westbrook will dominate.
Marion Barber played an interesting roll last season pretty much only getting a few carries a game but scores 16 total touchdowns last season. The guy has a nose for the endzone. It will be interesting to see how Wade uses him this season. He could be great or he could be just mediocre, I personally think he will be used more than he was last year and is in for a monster season.
If Barber for some reason doesn’t pan out, Hill is very deep at running back with Benson and Marshawn Lynch on the bench. I say at least one of the three does well enough to earn this rating……
9/10
TE: Vernon Davis
I like this pick a lot. Davis only played in 12 games last season because of injury. There is no doubting the guy is a tank when he is on the field. If he plays he will be silly….
4/5
Defenses: Jacksonville, Atlanta
I really like the Jacksonville pick this season. I have them as a top 10 defense. As for Atlanta, they are a bit TRIFLING…..
5/9
Bench: Benson, Lynch, Leftwich, Bruce, Kennison, Gonzalez, Turner
This is a verrrrrrry deep bench….

The Dirty Francos
QB’s: Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick
McNabb hasn’t played one full season in the last three years. When he is in he is great, when he isn’t, you better have a good backup. Having lived through the turmoil last season I would say this is a risky pick.
After the 2005 season Jim Mora came to the conclusion that Mike Vick isn’t going to be the guy who passes for 4,000 yards in a season. Once he understood that Vick had his best fantasy season ever racking up over 1,000 yards rushing and passing for about 2,500 yards. This is the kind of production we have been looking for out of Vick since he was a rookie. The only thing that worries me is this whole dog fighting issue that seems to have come to fruition. Here is what was said July 14th about the situation….
“Jul 14 Alan Judd, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Surry County, Va., officials may present the case of alleged dog fighting to a local grand jury July 24. Officials have sent mixed signals on whether they have enough evidence to bring charges. Federal prosecutors have described a large dog fighting operation that they say operated out of a 15-acre property owned by Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Vick.”
If Vick can stay out of trouble and McNabb from being injured this could be one of the top tandems in fantasy this season.
8/9
WR’s: Donald Driver, Calvin Johnson, Matt Jones
Driver put together another productive year with 1300 yards receiving and 8 touchdowns. He has improved his receiving totals in each of the last three seasons and is definitely Favre’s favorite target. He isn’t a #1 in my eyes, but he is Lance’s #1.
Calvin Johnson is just a rookie, but damn he was an animal in college. I personally think he is ready for the NFL, but I think a lot of rookie receivers are ready for the NFL that aren’t. I do think he could make a huge impact this season, but just because he is a rookie I can’t give him a good rating.
Matt Jones as a number three receiver is just trifling. Lord, what was Lance thinking? He has worse numbers than a tight end and somehow he made it into Lance’s starting lineup. Funny thing is I think Lance has two better receivers sitting on his bench. I’m sure he will change things by week 1 or 2.
Overall just Driver is proven; I can’t give this receiving core a good rating
4/8
Running Backs: Frank Gore, Willis McGahee
Gore easily led the NFC in rushing last year rushing for nearly 1700 yards. I expect him to get more touchdowns this season as the 49ers offense just continues to get better. This guy is a beast and will have a great year entering only his third season as a pro.
McGahee is a much faster runner than Jamal Lewis and should be able to hit the holes much better than stuttering Jamal did last season. McGahee had nearly 1,000 yards rushing behind a terrible line in Buffalo. I’m not saying the Baltimore offensive line is great, but it should be much better than he is used to.
Two solid backs
9/10
TE: Jeremy Shockey
This guy is an animal when he is on the field, but he hasn’t completed a full season in his career. If he can stay healthy he is one of the best for sure.
5/5
Defenses: Baltimore, Miami
Two top 5 defenses here

QB’s: Vince Young, Jay Cutler
Vince Young played 15 games last year, but managed to rack up 19 total touchdowns with 13 interceptions. He is more of a threat on the ground than he is with the pass but I expect him to improve as a passer. I think he has a monstrous upside and could really have a great year.
Cutler showed last year a lot of maturity for a first year QB. He had 9 touchdowns with only 5 interceptions in 5 games last season. Denver added Travis Henry to provide a solid running game and Mike Shanahan always makes his offenses successful it seems like. I like Cutler too.
While both QB’s are very young and inexperienced both are in systems where I can see them succeeding. There will be lots of mistakes I am sure, but I am also sure there will be a lot of production out of these two…
7/9
WR’s: Chad Johnson, Hines Ward, Plaxico Burress
Chad Johnson was my number one ranked receiver coming into this season. Even though he had 1300 yards receiving last year I felt like he could have had a much better year. The Bengals were underachieving and I never really felt like they were playing their best football all season. This year I expect them to get going and Chad to become the number one receiver in the league this season.
Hines Ward sure did fall down a lot of draft boards this season. But apparently he didn’t fall down Dave’s draft board because he selected him before the likes of Andre Johnson, Javon Walker, and Lee Evans, all of which I had ranked higher. If Hines can stay out of the trainer’s room this season he could have a big bounce back year (He caught 5 less touchdowns last year than from the previous year).
Plaxico Burress is another bad-boy receiver. While he had 10 touchdowns last season and just fewer than 1,000 receiving yards, I think the bigger message he sent last year was that he plays when he wants to play. Constantly quitting on plays and just being a jackass on the field I could see him getting in trouble with the Giants this season. If he stays out of trouble and does his job he should have another good year though.
Three very solid receivers, one who constantly plays hurt, and one who is always being a douche, they are all very capable….
8/8
RB’s: Rudi Johnson, Reggie Bush
Rudi Johnson really looks to me like he is running out of gas. After 1400 yards in 2004 and 2005 he dropped to 1300 yards rushing last year. He isn’t a threat out of the backfield at all and only gives you what he rushes for, which is a pretty big dagger in our league where receptions count as points for running backs as well. I think he will be solid, but nothing amazing.
Here is a perfect example of why Rudi Johnson isn’t really that good. Reggie Bush had more fantasy points than Rudi did last year and he only rushed for 565 yards! I hate the fact that he splits time, but I know deep down he will get just as many touches as most other running backs. He catches so many passes out of the backfield it’s almost like a handoff. Expect another fun-to-watch year out of Reggie, with lots of fantasy production I am sure.
8/10
TE: Jason Witten
Sure hands, Jason Witten is looking for a bounce back season this year after only one touchdown in 2006. I am sure he will be just fine as Romo should only improve as a passer.
3/5
Defenses: Denver, Minnesota
I really think Denver was a great pick this year. With the addition of Dre Bly I really see this defense being pretty much unstoppable in the passing game.
Minnesota is another top 10 defense in my opinion and should have a good year despite their defensive coordinator being shipped to Pittsburgh. They will be productive.
Two top 10 defenses, but both from the latter part of the top 10 so I cant give a perfect score…..

QB’s: Matt Leinart, Alex Smith
I think Leinart grew a lot in the 12 starts he had last year. Hopefully he will be able to read defenses a bit better than he did last year when he had more interceptions than touchdown passes. I think he will do alright just because he has two of the best receivers in the NFL to throw to.
Alex Smith showed a lot of improvement throughout the course of last season. He threw as many TD’s as he did interceptions last year, but I expect him to have a better year this year with an established running back taking a lot of the load off his young arm.
Both are young quarterbacks that will make a lot of mistakes, but I expect both to have better years than they did last year. Two decent QB’s….
6/9
WR’s: Terrell Owens, Andre Johnson, Reggie Brown
Terrell Owens led the NFL last year in touchdown receptions, but it’s not like he had a ton, with 13. He also led the league in dropped passes. Owens is a donkey and I think it was a stupid pick by Jamie.
Andre Johnson is the only weapon the Texans had last season and he owned. In a league where 2 receptions are a point he has added value because he caught more than 100 balls last season. I expect him to have more TD’s this season with a better QB throwing him the ball.
Reggie Brown had 8 TD’s last season and more than 800 yards receiving. I thought he should have had a better year, but he didn’t really step up to his full potential last year. He is coming into his third year and I expect him to break out this year if McNabb stays healthy.
Awesome receiving core…
8/8
RB’s: Joseph Addai, Laurence Maroney
Addai had a great rookie campaign last season and I expect to see him put up similar numbers this season. Even though this is a pass happy offense Addai will manage to find the endzone around 10 times this year.
Maroney looked good when he got the ball last year. He split time with Dillon, but that won’t be a problem anymore. With Maroney getting the bulk of the carries I expect a huge year out of him. He is a Steven Jackson type runner, should be fun to watch.

QB’s: Drew Brees, Tony Romo
Drew Brees was an animal last season throwing for 4,400 yards and passing for more than 25 touchdowns. He really had a coming out party last season. I expect another great year with Colston only improving this season. Tons of passes out of the backfield to Bush will also pad his stats. Love this pick.
Tony Romo might seem like a risk to some people but I really like this pick too. He has a whole off-season to get better. I liked what I saw last season I think he is ready to become a top 10-12 QB this season. I really like this pick as well.
8/9
WR’s: Marques Colston, Laveranues Coles, Greg Jennings
Marques Colston had over 1,000 yards receiving and had 70 receptions last year. I see his numbers increasing with Joe Horn going elsewhere and Colston becoming the number 1 this year. I expect him to increase his touchdown total from last years 8 to around 10 this season.
Laveranues Coles is quick little bastard and one of those guys I consider over the hill… so guess what? He is due for a monster season. Lav Coles is probably going to be a silly. I like this pick too.
Greg Jennings as a number three receiver? Damn, that is trifling! Jennings should improve, but I don’t know how much, a pretty bad #3 receiver.
6/8
RB’s: LaDainian Tomlinson, Thomas Jones
I don’t need to say much about LT. Nothing surprises me anymore with this guy. An absolute animal.
Thomas Jones is an interesting pick. He will be the #1 in New York and I think it’s a great fit for him. He is entering his 8th season, but I don’t think that will stop him from having a great year.
Two solid running backs, this is an outstanding combination….
9/10
TE: Alge Crumpler
This guy gets it done year after year. Still Vick’s favorite target and I don’t expect much to change this season.

QB’s: Brett Favre, Jake Delhomo
I feel bad for Hunter, getting all the leftovers that no one wanted. These two guys are fossils and Favre should have retired a long time ago. Delhomo is probably going to lose his job a few weeks into the season. I don’t see much production out of either QB this season…..
4/9
WR’s: Marvin Harrison, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Randy Moss
Marvin is in for another silly year as usual. He is 35, but he still gets it done. I look for 1200 yards and around 12 td’s again. I think Reggie Wayne will get a few more looks this season, but Harrison will of course put up great numbers.
Housh is a great # 2 receiver. I expect around 1,000 yards receiving again with around 10 td’s. He is also one of the most consistent receivers week to week. My only concern with him is injuries, as he has missed four games the past two seasons.
Randy Moss as a number 3 receiver sounds ridiculous, but do we really know what to expect from him? Can he return to the old Moss or has he lost a step. I obviously expect a big increase in production this year, but I really don’t know how big of a playmaker he can become this season. I will be interested to watch.
Overall a sillllly receiving core……
8/8
RB’s: Shaun Alexander, Travis Henry
Shaun is entering his 8th season in the NFL and I honestly don’t know if he has much more left in the tank. Generally the shelf life of a good running back is around 4 years, the great ones can last longer, but I’m not so sure that Alexander is considered great. I think what ultimately happens to Alexander is he gets injured again because he is too old and fucking sucks. I hate Alexander, but the potential is there for sure.
Travis Henry is now on the Broncos which makes me think he can be successful. Shanahan has an eye for spotting talent at the RB position, so I have to think he can better his rushing numbers from the Titans a year ago, which is kind of scary. He ran for 1,200 yards last year and found the endzone 7 times. We know how Denver loves to run the football. The bottom line is yahoo could have drafted Hunter a GEM here.
Pretty damn good running backs considering it was an auto-draft, I would have expected Edgerrin James and Ahman Green……
7/10
TE: Tony Gonzalez
The most dependable tight end year after year, but with Brodie Croyle throwing him the ball this year, I would be worried. He will be solid of course, but I expect a slight dip in production, he might even fall out of the top 5 in tight ends this year.
4/5

I don’t think there is one good defense in the bunch. Tampa is known for having a good defense, but they are even mediocre. I am not impressed with any of them……

QB’s: Eli Manning, J.P. Losman
Coming into his fourth NFL season Eli Manning has to step up and deliver. After a solid year in 2005, he fluttered a bit in 2006 passing for 500 less yards. He looked great the first half of the season last year, and then somehow fell off the radar the rest of the year. If he can have good weeks down the stretch he will be a formidable QB this year.
J.P. Losman is also going into his fourth season, and has improved quite a bit each year. I look for him to improve again this year, but he still won’t be in the upper echelon of QB’s.
Two decent quarterbacks, but neither has the ability to change to kill you in fantasy……
5/9
WR’s: Steve Smith, Anquan Boldin, Donte’ Stallworth
Steve Smith is an animal when healthy. However, he has only played 1 full season the last three years. If he stays healthy he will rival the best receivers in the league in terms of numbers, but he always seems to have the injury bug. I like the pick as long as he stays healthy; there is no denying his talent.
Anquan Boldin had another good year last year with more than 1,200 yards receiving. His touchdown total declined by three from the previous season, but this is probably due to the fact that he had to get used to Matt Leinart throwing him the ball. I expect him to get back on track this year and have 8 or 9 td’s.
Donte’ Stallworth is a SOLID #3 receiver. He played only 12 games last season and had 725 yards receiving with 5 td’s, with Tom Brady throwing him the ball this year I think he could be in for a monster year. I like this pick.
Very solid receiving core….. Smith and Stallworth are injury concerns, but if healthy they are both silly…..
7/8
RB’s: Steven Jackson, Edgerrin James
Stevie is going to have another great year. He has added value in our league because we get points for receptions, so I think this was a great choice by Braur at #2 overall. Look for 1500 yards rushing and 700 yards receiving this year with around 20 td’s. He is a beast.
Edgerrin James in the second round is un-fucking-believable. This guy is a fucking fossil who couldn’t even average 3.5 yards per carry last season. He has lost more than just a step and should seriously look into retirement. I don’t see a bounce back year in store for this scrub, and quite frankly I think he is going to have another terrible year. He will be lucky to find the end zone more than 5 times again this season. TRIFLING
Stevie is SOLID, but Edge? Come on Braur, you have to be fucking kidding……..

Obviously a top ten tight end, Heap is only 27 and entering the prime of his career. I look for him to have another great year.

QB’s: Tom Brady, Philip Rivers
I have always been a Tom Brady hater, but after looking at his numbers from the past few seasons I will shut up. This guy had 3500 yards passing last year, and his top receiver was…… uhh…. Well I don’t even know who it was. With the acquisition of Randy Moss and Donte’ Stallworth he will definitely have 4,000 yards passing. He isn’t an injury concern either, never missing a game in the last 5 years.
Philip Rivers had an awesome debut last year throwing 22 td’s and only 9 interceptions. I expect an increase in touchdowns and yards thrown. You have to remember that Marty didn’t let Philip loose until later in the year. With a new coach, and offensive coordinator, I expect the offense to be a bit more open.
Quite possibly the best tandem at QB in the league, these guys should be fun to watch this year…..
8/9
WR’s: Roy Williams, Lee Evans, Deion Branch
Roy Williams was a beast last year with more than 1,300 yards receiving and 7 touchdowns. He was also very consistent from week to week often having around 5 or 6 receptions a game. With the acquisition of Calvin Johnson I don’t see much of a decline in numbers because teams won’t be able to double Roy anymore. I expect a similar year to what he had last year.
Lee Evans was one player I was dieing to get this year. I had him ranked number 7 overall on my receivers list. He has been in the league only three years and most people barely know who he is. Well incase you’ve been sleeping, he had nearly 1,300 yards last season with 8 touchdowns. As Losman develops as a quarterback I expect these numbers to get even better.
Deion Branch was a risky pick in my opinion, but I think it will pay off. He has yet to have a 1,000 yard season, but we all know the potential for it is there. Darrell Jackson had most of the receiving touchdowns last year in Seattle, but with Jackson being shipped off to San Fran I expect Deion to finally have a huge season being the lone number 1 in Seattle.
A ridiculous receiving core…..
7/8
RB’s: Willie Parker, Clinton Portis
It may be a surprise to some of you but despite the absolutely terrible season the Steelers had last year Willie Parker somehow managed to rack up nearly 1,500 yards rushing and found the end zone 16 times. He could be the fastest RB in the NFL right now and I’m sure he will have another great season, as the Steelers can only improve in my opinion.
Clinton Portis was injured nearly the whole season last year and Torres took a risk on him bouncing back this year. My concern is that Ladell Betts showed so much talent last year I could honestly see this going to a platoon system in Washington with both Portis and Betts getting 10-15 carries a game. I think Torres made a big mistake by not hand-cuffing Ladell Betts. Portis is only 25 years old so a bounce back season could be possible; I am just worried about injuries.
Willie should have a great year, but Portis is a big question mark…..
7/10
TE: Randy McMichael
Here is the lovey-dovey Rams pick I knew Torres would make. I think it’s a good one though. McMichael is a great pass catcher and Bulger is one of the best. Should be fun to watch….
4/5
Defenses: Pittsburgh, Seattle
With Silly Mike Tomlin the head coach in Pittsburgh I expect their defense to improve this year. I think this was one of the more under-rated defenses coming into this season.
Seattle is just a mediocre defense, but definitely one of the better……

I think Torres made a big mistake by not hand-cuffing Ladell Betts. Portis is only 25 years old so a bounce back season could be possible; I am just worried about injuries.
Willie should have a great year, but Portis is a big question mark…..
7/10
TE: Randy McMichael
Here is the lovey-dovey Rams pick I knew Torres would make. I think it’s a good one though. McMichael is a great pass catcher and Bulger is one of the best. Should be fun to watch….
4/5
Defenses: Pittsburgh, Seattle
With Silly Mike Tomlin the head coach in Pittsburgh I expect their defense to improve this year. I think this was one of the more under-rated defenses coming into this season.
Seattle is just a mediocre defense, but definitely one of the better……
6/9
Bench:
Torres actually has a somewhat legitimate bench this year. He has Jason Campbell to back up his two silly QB’s, Brandon Jackson, a rookie rb for GB that is sure to see the ball plenty, and of course DAUNTE CULPEPPER….. SILLLLLLLLLY
2/3
OVERALL SCORE: 34/44……. 77%
JmillzScores
I am ranking the teams this year as follows:
RB’s will be scored out of 10 points (most important)
QB’s will be scored out of 9 Points
Defenses will be scored out of 9 Points
WR’s will be scored out of 8 Points
TE’s will be scored out of 5 Points
Bench will scored out of 3 Points (Least important)
Out of 44
JmillzScores:
QB’s: Peyton Manning, Big Ben Roethlisberger
Of course Manning is going to have a great year; he has passed for over 4,000 yards in 7 of the last 8 seasons and always has around 30 touchdowns. I expect the same this year; he is the best after all.
Big Ben on the other hand I don’t know what to think of. I know he got in a motorcycle accident last year, but having more interceptions than touchdowns last year has to be a big concern for Miller. He had 3500 yards passing last year, but that is mostly because his team was so far behind most of the season he picked up tons of garbage yards.
Because Manning is a god I still have to give Miller’s QB’s a good rating, but not too good….
7/9
WR’s: Reggie Wayne, Muhsin Muhammad, Santana Moss
I think this COULD be the year Wayne finally out produces Marvin Harrison, but it will be close. Wayne had more than 1300 yards last season and found the end zone 9 times. Wayne is one of the most consistent wideouts in the game and you can count on about 15 points a week from this guy.
Santana Moss is another question mark in my opinion. This is a guy that always seems to be injured (playing only 1 full season in 6 seasons in the NFL). With Campbell being a big question mark this year its really hard to say whether or not Santana will be back to his old self or not.
Muhsin Muhammad as a number three receiver seems absolutely ridiculous to me. I am a huge Bears fan, and even I, have to laugh at this pick. There were much better options in the draft than this guy who is nearing the end of his career. I really don’t see any value in this selection, but maybe I’ll be wrong, for the sake of the Bears!
Wayne is the man, but Santana Moss seems like a big question mark, and I really have no idea what he was thinking with Muhammad….
4/8
RB’s: Ronnie Brown, Deuce McAllister
Ronnie Brown has yet to play 16 games in a season. Granted, he has only played two seasons, but I want someone dependable as my 1st Running Back. Ronnie barely had 1,000 yards last year, but also had a terrible situation with Daunte Culpepper sucking up the place. With Trent Green in Miami I expect Miami’s offense to run much better, especially now that that douche Nick Saban is gone. I like Ronnie, but not as my #1
Deuce McAllister is in a bad situation in my opinion. He barely had 1,000 yards last year, but he did have 10 rushing touchdowns. I expect both of those numbers to decrease this year however, with Reggie Bush becoming a bigger part of the offense. I expect him to be around 900 yards rushing with 7 or 8 td’s, not bad, but not what you want out of your second running back.
Both Ronnie and Deuce are decent, but he could have done much better……
6/10
TE: Dallas Clark
Sure handed Dallas Clark, when he is healthy he is definitely a solid tight end. I like this pick.
3/5
Defenses: Dallas and Cincy
Dallas could be good, but they always seem to be in a shootout, and the same with Cincy. Don’t like either defense much.
4/9
Bench:
Besides Santonio Holmes and Julius Jones I don’t see any value at all on this bench. I mean come on… Kevan Barlow, Tony Hunt, ANTHONY WRIGHT? WOWWWW
