if you are even asking this question, you prolly shouldn’t be in a league, or at least you should have someone making the picks for you… LT hands down. the next few will follow as: l.johnson, p.manning, s.alexander, r.bush. s.jackson, t.henry, m.harrison, t.owens. not necessarily in that order. ---

[quote=“FBodyMadnezz,post:14,topic:34545"”] what if passing yards are scored higher than rushing yards? [/quote] Then congrats on being in a very fucked up league. Yardage leagues generally go like this. 10 yards rush = 1 point 20/25 yards pass = 1 point rush td = 6 points pass td = 4/6 points Ok but here is a quick lesson on how to win fantasy. VALUE PICKS!! You pick LT because the quality of back after that decreases considerably (in fantasy land). Lt had 33td, and the 2nd most was 19. Now look at Manning with 35 (4 rushing which he wont accomplish again), and the next 5 QB’s all had at least 24 tds last year. Fantasy is more a game of the numbers then it is actual football knowledge, even though it helps. So to sum this up, if you are picking Manning in the first you will have a 35 td player. In a 10 man league you will have the 20th pick, we will say 1 other person picked a QB and 2 WR are gone, that mean top 15 backs are gone. So you get a running back that gets 8-10 tds (on the lucky side). Meanwhile there are plenty of QB’s left with mid 20 TD potential left for your 3rd pick (21st in the draft) and more 8 td potential rbs. 33(LT) + 25(Non Manning QB) \> 35(Manning) + 8-10 (Back you would get in that position). :thankyou: [quote=“Joe,post:15,topic:34545"”] 1st round LT 2nd round drew brees or jon kitna [/quote] You can’t be serious with Kitna :smash2: ---

hell yeah… sure the guy has 9 kids, but he can run the ball like a monster, plays through injuries, and has never had a real team around him. i think denver is going to get him 1500 yds + 13-14 td rush, and prolly 300 + a few receiving. just as guess, but we’ll see how the season goes.

Who is Bernard Berrian? and Devery Henderson? You better hope Portis doesn’t get injured again this year. Ocho - Cinco should do well, Romo should rock, Westbrook I dunno… Eagles are always inconsistent with getting him running touches. Depends on how your league scores points. Heap should do well. Baltimore D will be kick ass. Not too shabby. :tup: ---

Barrian is wide receiver for Chicago 700+ yards and 6 TDs last year Henderson is a wide receiver for New Orleans with 700+ yeard and 5 TDs last year We are starting 3 wide outs in our league so those guys came as late picks. Still pretty decent though. Portis worries me since I have had him for the last 3 years in one of my leagues, but when he is healthy he does really well so I am hoping that he can stay off the injury list. ---

rick you really don’t know who berrian is? 😛 and henderson moves up in NO cause horn left for atlanta westbrook is solid cause he gets a TON of touches, even if he doesn’t run well he’ll still put up #'s recieving i’m kinda not so happy with how my team turned out, but it could have been worse… i had 8th pick in my league and would up with QB Tom Brady Jon Kitna RB Joseph Addai Brandon Jacobs Adrian Peterson (Vikes) WR Andre Johnson Lavernaues Coles Santana Moss TE Kellen Winslow K Jason Elam D/ST San Diego BN:Tatum Bell Brandon Jackson Steve McNair Bernard Berrian DJ Hackett Randy McMichael and yes, our league starts 2 qbs… mcnair will have to play twice, altho qb’s are always pretty available for when you need one in a pinch for a bye week so i’m not too concerned about him ---
