    I think this team is built to last. Bob, you might not like some of your picks and I can understand that, but quite honestly if you work the waiver wire right you can hopefully find a few gems at wr.

    I also think that Manningham could have a bounce back year this year. Manningham last year was terrorized by eli every time he made a mistake and he wasn't playing loose like he should have been for fear of doing something wrong.

    Bowe is also getting you underrated value.

    I also think pettigrew, Moeaki and manning are all solid picks. You could do some things with this team, just don't trade any of your backs to anybody, otherwise you'll be losing your real advantage.

    The main problem I have is the injury question. Many of my players are injury prone or are coming of serious injuries. If McFadden can stay healthy he can beat teams by himself.

    I do like my flexibility to change in a WR here and a defense there depending on opponent and become a dangerous team. Don't wanna trade any RBs to anyone in a 20 team league RB is scarce.

    My big question is, does anyone look forward to the League on FX this year?

    If you can, post your actual draft order, # of teams, and scoring format. Hard to tell how good or bad your draft actually was without knowing the circumstances of it.

    I like it. About as well as you could do from the 9 hole.

    I kind of have mix feelings with my WR's because I dont know if any are going have significant impact on their teams. Guess getting Gronk might soften the blow a little bit. Do you guys think Chris Johnson is going to have a good year this year?

    I think Roddy will be consistent, but not spectacular. I am really high on Decker and Torrey Smith this year, Titus Young also could be a gem.

    D- Patrick Peterson
    D-B.J. Raji
    D-Lardarius Webb
    D- Ryan Mundy

    Can someone give me advice on what to do with this defense? Which guys should I replace? Are these guys any good fantasy wise? I have never been in a draft where we draft defensive players so I am lost.

    Any opinions on the RB? I know Chris Johnson is my first choice RB. Now, would you rather start F.Gore or D.Williams?

    Just had my draft (12 team standard scoring):

    QB: M. Vick, C. Palmer

    RB: C. Johnson, J. Charles, M. Turner, R. Bush, B. Wells, I. Redman, R. Mendenhall

    WR: K. Britt, B. Lloyd, L. Moore, B. LaFell, D. Bess, R. Cobb

    TE: J. Graham

    DEF: ---

    K: ---

    I decided to hedge my bets on kickers and defenses and just pick off the FA heap.

    Random league I'm in with some of y'all CF bozos. 12 teams, I had the 12th pick. 3WR, 2RB, 1TE, 1WR/T/RB flex... non-PPR. QB TD's are only 4pts which I LOVE.

    I think I like the team considering where I picked. Touchdowns are big in this one. Don't know though, I feel like I gambled on some WR's yet played it safe with my early picks.

    ^Pretty good team for 12 team.

    Man, Yahoo changed their rankings and it has completely ruined my strategy in drafts coming up these next 2-3 days.
