    Wow, I play in a league of idiots.

    Both of these fools rejected my trade offers.

    They are choosing to roll with Flacco and Cutler as their starting QBs instead of trading me their backups for Favre (all trades were contingent on him officially returning). Good God, I am going laugh my ass off when they go down in flames.

    I'm completely new to the whole fantasy football set-up. My draft begins in an hour. I'm playing in the free league of 10 teams.

    I have the 8th pick and the 13th.

    Anyone have any suggestions as to who I should take if available?

    Be crazy and go with Johnson/Wayne. I mean, why not?

    Our league just finished the draft on ESPN. I was 8th in this draft.

    Here's how my roster looks. I'm not sure how it'll fare. It looks like a predominantly underdog team, but here's my roster. Please suggest any ideas on how it could be better, or any trade suggestions.

    QB: Matt Schaub (decided to be a homer and stick with him)
    RB: Michael Turner
    RB: Brandon Jacobs
    RB/WR: Pierre Garcon
    WR: Miles Austin
    WR: Marques Colston
    TE: Jason Witten
    D/ST: Ravens
    K: Matt Bryant (projected on ESPN with a 100 pt. increase)

    Bench:
    QB: Eli Manning
    RB: Darren McFadden
    WR: Johnny Knox
    TE: Richard Angulo
    WR: Jacoby Jones
    QB: Vince Young (open in the 8th round; risky)
    RB: Ahmad Bradshaw

    If anyone has any suggestions on what changes to make, please let me know. This is my first attempt. I hope it goes well!

    No point in letting Favre or Rodgers rot on my bench.

    Cutler would be my backup.

    Also offering...

    Aaron Rodgers
    Mike-Sims Walker

    for

    Donovan McNabb
    Ray Rice

    I've got my first draft on Tuesday. 10 team league, performance scoring. I have the #8 pick. Trying to decide if I'm gonna grab whatever is left of the top RB's, or try to get either Brees or Rodgers.

    My first offer got accepted, however, I'm waiting to see if the 2nd offer comes through.

    I really want Rice, Gore would be nice... Gore is sirloin, but Rice is filet mignon...

    At least you made it easier on your little brother by giving him Peterson.

    At number 8, I doubt that Brees will be available. I think you have a good shot at getting a legit RB.

    3. (28) Tom Brady QB
    4. (33) Greg Jennings WR

    no, he'll be a steal at the 3rd or 4th round...I mean he rushed for over a 1000yds, but he couldn't score too much.. Try to snatch him up, Taylor isn't going to be a factor

    No. Your team doesn't do it for me. Unless its a 14+ team league.
