I'm liking my chances. I made a huge gamble on a WR and my TE. But I think itll pay off.
Not including my own, I think Shibby and Mr.Baytchos have the most solid teams. Pushrods is decent, too.
Sprayin, your team is kinda hit or miss. Your WRs are all mid-levelers, but due to who is passing to them they have the possibility of breakout games. The RB situation in Houston is a fucking nightmare and should be stayed away from at all costs. And, though I think Steven Jackson is a great RB, he has absolutely no team around him and at best he'll have a couple good games and get hurt again. At worst, he can't break off any runs because his Oline makes the Bears look like gods. I bet he has a 700 yard 6 TD year. The biggest upside to your team is you actually have a 3rd QB who is a starter, so you're not gonna get fucked 2 weeks out of the year like everyone else.

As far as Mr. Baytchos, I have NO confidence in Ronnie Brown OR Shonn Greene. I feel like they are both busts this year. Ronnie Brown is coming off an injury and with the addition of Brandon Marshall they are going to try to force it into the air. The wildcat is not so much a surprise this year, so I expect Ricky Williams to get more touches than Brown. Shonn Greene is hit or miss.
Shibby's team is pretty legit.
I'm not feeling your pick on Jamaal Charles, I think Thomas Jones is gunna split up his touches, and I'm not convinced they are a run first team considering thier investment in Cassell.
I know I got fucked in the WR department. I am gunna live and die by my Berrian and Massaquoi picks, but I feel like they are both the top recievers on their teams. I figured with the demise of Slaton, Foster would pick up a TON of touches. It was a gamble for sure, but that was my theme this year.
Pushrods team is legit on the RB front, but those recievers are very very high risk. Those are the 3 recievers I had on my DO NOT PICK list because I feel that they were ranked WAYYYYY too high. I guess only the season will tell, but I do like the fact that we dont have to replay teams.
And Jackson is a work horse. He will take ALL of the touches in a game if he needs to. I'm standing FIRM on that pick.
The wildcat wasn't a surprise at all last year either, considering they ran it EVERY game. It's definitely still questionable whether or not he'll stay healthy, but if he does, Ronnie will be a beast. Shonne Green will be the primary back for NYJ without a doubt. He was solid last year playing second fiddle to TJ and should only improve this year with one of the best run blocking O-lines in the NFL.
You may be right about Charles, but I think he'll do just fine. All Cassell did last year was prove that the passing game in KC is unreliable, so I'm not worried about that at all.
Ochocinco should have another solid year. He doesn't have to be great and he still gets good numbers. Brandon Marshall is definitely going to be the go-to guy in Miami and I tend to think he's gonna have a huge year this year. Maclin's success will depend on how dedicated Kolb is to spreading the ball around. Philly has a pretty diverse spread on offense, so I agree with him being iffy. But, the rest of Pushrods team is so solid all around that I don't think a couple question marks are anything to worry about.
All said and done, Division 2 is gonna wipe the floor with D1!

I am STOKED for this season. Any trade requests can also be posted in here and we will all try our hardest to make sure all requests are responded to.
Yeah, with this many teams the free agency is pretty much dead unless injuries start popping up.
Well it's football, injuries ALWAYS happen. I'm sure there are gonig to be some breakout rookies or 2nd year players that no one has heard of. Keep your ear to the ground and you may be able to pick up some good players mid-season. I'm number 2 on the waiver
Good lets shake this up a bit. I wanna see players that are invested in their teams and not people that are already giving up and not paying attention. Thats what makes for a shitty league.
Matt Moore has the potential to be a disaster, especially with Jimmy Clausen breathing down his neck for the starting job. But he should be good through a couple of weeks, enough to get a feel. And Braylon Edwards is a liability. Talk about dropped balls king. Orton is a safe pick, but be weary. If he has a bad game or two, the fans in Denver are going to be on the nuts of Tebow. I like Boldin in Baltimore, they are clearly gearing up to be a more pass heavy team, so I think he has some potential to shine. I like Pierre Thomas, now that he will be taking most of the touches at RB for the Saints. If Owen Daniels can stay healthy, hes a top 5 TE, but his history shows an inability to stay healthy. I like your kicker and defense too. It all depends on your schedule on how you will do.
Your QB's are weak, but the rest of your team is pretty solid. WR's are so-so, but overall it's a decent team. Just in this league since QB's are going to be accounting for like 40% of the point totals each week, being weak on QB's puts ya at a big disadvantage.
I'd suggest changing the 2nd QB slot to a flex spot (WR/RB/TE) except that the way it is set now completely changed the way everyone drafted.
Yeah I didnt expect 16 teams, and didnt think to change it. I had a 12 team league last year and 2 QB's worked perfectly.
I actually kindof like how all the teams panned out. With so many teams and spots to fill it really is gonna come down to who gets screwed over on which week and who filled their bench with the right people for bye weeks.
I don't have the greatest players at all but I feel pretty confident that I can fill every bye week except for my qb's so far.
But those of you who have played before also know how drastically some things change within the first 3 or 4 games as far as breakout players, busts, injuries etc.
Looks like a pretty entertaining year for this league to me.
