I'm happy with a few of those selections. Could probably do with another WR and DST. Of the 4 running backs I got, only Westbrook will (hopefully) be a regular scorer, so will probably just rotate the other 3 depending on opponent unless I can pickup someone. Quite happy with backup QB, TE and K tho.Quote:

Got this team for myself:
Manning, Peyton QB IND
Jacobs, Brandon RB NYG
Maroney, Laurence RB NE
Houshmandzadeh, T.J. WR CIN
Porter, Jerry WR OAK
Steve Smith WR CAR
Crumpler, Alge TE ATL
Kaeding, Nate K SD
Eagles, DST DST PHI
Manning, Eli QB NYG
Taylor, Chester RB MIN
Daniels, Owen TE HOU
Kasay, John K CAR
Panthers, DST DST CAR
Pleased enough at most positions - probably a little weak at RB - dont have huge confidence in Maroney to put up big numbers as i dont think he is going to be one of the better No.1 RB's. Happy though with QB and WR picks.
And the Newbridge Wagons are...
Tom Brady QB NE
Marion Barber RB DAL
Maurice Jones-Drew RB JAC
Santonio Holmes WR PIT
Matt Jones WR JAC
Hines Ward WR PIT
Heath Miller TE PIT
Josh Scobee K JAC
Jaguars DST
------------------
Phillip Rivers QB SD
Warrick Dunn RB ATL
DJ Hackett WR SD
Marcedes Lewis TE JAC
Steelers DST
Defensively I'm set, good QB's and strong TD RB's. Little weak at WR, with the exception of Hines Ward. Happy enough with all that for the Ninth pick. It's about the same team that got me to the playoffs last year. Should be a lot of fun and Kudos to Aberdonian Stu for setting it all up.
My Team:
QB Drew Brees NO
RB J Addai IND
RB A Peterson MIN
WR D Jackson SF
WR B Edwards CLE
WR M Colston NO
TE K Winslow
KI S Gostkowski NE
DST Ravens
RB B Jackson GB
WR I Bruce STL
TE M Pollard SEA
DST Titans
QB M Schuab
Pretty happy. Solid QB ans DST. One top RB and two potentially v good ones. Decent TE and kicker. Pretty weak at WR. Decent reserves and no problems for bye weeks unless I get injuries.
Should have a decent 1st week as NO are playing Indy so potential for a shoot out.

Bohemian RoughRiders
Bulger, Marc QB STL
Benson, Cedric RB CHI
McGahee, Willis RB BAL
Berrian, Bernard WR CHI
Evans, Lee WR BUF
Harrison, Marvin WR IND
Gonzalez, Tony TE KC
Gould, Robbie K CHI
DST Dolphins
Favre, Brett QB GB
McAllister, Deuce RB NO
Jones, Brandon WR TEN
Scheffler, Tony TE DEN
Akers, David K PHI
think that its actually as good a team in terms of strength in depth as i could hope to get. Good QBs, good WRs, good RBs. Im a bit disappointed in my TE though Gonzalez is a good player. Might have to replace Gould with Akers for kicking depending on how well the Bears are doing... pretty happy overall though.
who got reggie wayne ?????
Cliffords Clippers got Wayne.
Disappointed with Gonzalez? Are you nuts?
sorry that should have read my reserve TE ... Gonzalez is a good player.
Prediction Monkey
:D
Wait about 10 to 15 seconds after the picture appears to hear message.
Ah in fairness reserve TEs aren't even necessary and the one you've got is one of the better options.Quote:

Tony Gonzalez is excellent as is Drew Brees
Holdout running back Larry Johnson agreed to a six-year contract extension and joined the Chiefs for practice Tuesday, surprising teammates who broke into scattered cheers when he jogged unannounced onto the field. "Lar-ry! Lar-ry," many players chanted. They had already been practicing for about 45 minutes when No. 27 suddenly appeared in their midst and began running plays. Johnson, 27, set the NFL record with 416 carries last year while rushing for 1,789 yards, snapping the team record he set the year before. His six-year deal includes a $19 million guarantee. Coach Herm Edwards said Johnson would not play in Thursday night's exhibition game against New Orleans but would be fully ready by the season opener Sept. 9 at Houston.
For my sins I got picked the following, no idea what I was doing, but the draft was great fun altogether trying to duck and dive. Who know's where it will lead us all, but have fun everybody!
V Young
C Pennington
C Williams
R Droughns
F Taylor
D' Stallworth
J Horn
R Wayne
P Crayton
J Shockey
Z Miller
N Rackers
D Seahawks
D Bears
My brother Delcolt's line up seeing as we're all doing it.
M Hasselbeck
A Smith
K Watson
R Bush
E James
B Johnson
M Muhammad
B Marshall
A Gonzalez
D Clark
D Walker
A Vinatieri
D Cowboys
D Chargers
Great news about Larry Johnson :)
My line up:
QB Matt Leinart
QB Ben Roethlisberger
RB Steven Jackson
RB Thomas Jones
RB Tatum Bell
RB Lamont Jordan
WR Torry Holt
WR Chad Johnson
WR Javon Walker
WR Santana Moss
WR Troy Williamson
TE LJ Smith
K Jeff Reed
DST New Orleans
By far the best team. Some of the other ones are just shocking. 2 2nd tier QB's, a first tier RB with 3 excellent choices and 2 first tier wr's, 2 more with huge potential. Teams like this should never happen in a draftQuote:

It was only stuck to get numbers into it. We should be able to keep it on the front page though
Jags to release or trade Byron Leftwich and name back up, David Garrard, as starter for the rest of the season. Surprising and ballsy move by the Jags, but IMHO, Garrard is the better QB and it's the correct move by the team. I wonder if Leftwich will end up in Atlanta? I'm picking the Jags as the darkhorse for the Superbowl. Completely unbiased of course:D. Great defense, great running game and now we have a mobile QB with a strong arm. Big knock on him was his accuracy, but he has looked very sharp in pre season. The only weak link is the receivers. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Jags have really mad a mess of their QB situation the last few seasons and having two players of elite-backup standard in Leftwich and Garrard never made up for not having a player truly worthy of being a starting QB in the NFL. It's a pity because that D is great and the running game certainly does not lack talent.
Previews are up. Wouldn't read too much into them but one team (Burny89) is expected to score 98 in week 1. Pretty impressive.
Don't forget the league starts on Thursday if you've any Indy/New Orleans players
Oh and Sky Sports/NFLUK's fantasy starts this week too www.nfluk.com
I'll have a good idea of the outcome of my game by friday morning. I've a QB, RB and WR playing in the thursday night game.
Just noticed there are 2 teams rated 98 for this week.
who the hell dropped Phillip Rivers? Thanks tho ;)
I did. I'll tell you why in the playoffs....:DQuote:

Glad to see Reggie Wayne got me off to a flyer though. Amazed Brees only bagged a point. Swano I'm obviously up against you. Addi is going to have some season I reckon if he stays healthy.
At one stage in the 3rd quarter Wayne was -2 and Addai was 16. Then Wayne got a TD, Brees threw an intercept and Wayne got another TD! I'm pretty screwed for this week already.
Wouldn't say that just yet!! My line up after Reggie ain't all that. Vince might give me some lovin..
i really don't know how mine is going to go. I'll just cross my fingers until after week one and see how my guys go ( baxter ears ).
I got 2 good recievers but after that eh......nuff said
And you had first pick...Quote:

My foot.ie team...? erm, not so much...
Yeah my supposedly 'top rated side in the league' (I've forgotten who said words to that effect) got spanked this week. Picked up a good win in the DCU Saints league though by the looks of things.
Looks like I'll win my game barring some crazy results tonight, which is a surprise after the thursday night game. In another league in work and one guy is on 138 and still has his kicker to play tonight!
LT ran for about 30 yards and still scored about 20 points.:eek:
