    Celek is one of the top producing fantasy tight ends. Why exactly would you drop him for any of those guys?

    Everyone pick up whoever KC's TE is.

    The Chargers made Scheffler look like Shannon Sharpe.

    I wish I had more that you have... cripes, how'd you get so stacked? How many teams are in your league?

    Here's my line-up (this week):

    QB: Ben Roethlisberger
    RB: Adrian Peterson
    RB: Ronnie Brown
    RB/WR: Austin Collie
    WR: Roddy White
    WR: Sideny Rice
    TE: Jason Witten
    D/ST: Philadelphia Eagles
    K: Rian Lindell

    Bench:
    RB Ahmad Bradshaw
    RB Darren Sproles
    WR Derrick Mason (bye week)
    D/ST Denver Broncos (bye week)
    WR Mike Sims-Walker (bye week)
    QB David Garrard (bye week)

    So I'm considering proposing a trade of Sims-Walker/Bradshaw for Forte/Cutler. I don't really need Sims-Walker since I have White/Rice/Mason, and I won't need Bradshaw if I have Forte (who is obviously better than Collie in that RB/WR spot). However, my QB back-up will be a large upgrade from Garrard to Cutler.

    He's been dropping passes recently. I think he produced when Kolb was at QB, but now that McNabb's back, Celek hasn't been as productive.

    I traded Celek for Hakeem Nicks. Needed a WR pretty badly. My TE is Gates.

    Little did your trade partner know that Nicks is gonna be the Giants WR1. Nice trade for you.

    To be fair he has Ocho Cinco, Moss, Greg Jennings, Percy Harvin, Devery Henderson and Jeremy Maclin.

    His starting TE was Dustin Keller lol.

    10 team public league. I think I am a pretty good drafter. I never get caught up with the experts saying running back need to be picked first. QBs are the most important fantasy players. Have a similar strategy every year, grab 1 good RB before they are all gone, then draft a QB early. I always take WRs late, Ward and Driver are available late almost every year and they have decent production.

    I also got a lot of good guys off wavers including the #1 kicker in Tynes and Minny's D. Also Flacco, Bradshaw, Sims-Walker. 1 mistake I did make was taking Anthony Fasano fairly early in the draft.

    Really depends on who is there and you never really know with some of these leagues.

    I am completely opposite of you. I take WRs early as they are most predictable and consistent and less injury prone. Target specific 2-3rd tier QBs, this year Rodgers & Shaub specifically. Get 1 stud RB and 2 question makrs, this year it was pretty much guys like Moreno, Benson, Rice, Lynch/Jackson, and/or McFadden. Its paying off too. Goes to show any strategy has merit.

    I wouldn't start any KC offensive player, outside of Bowe (when healthy). Using that KC tight end is a Fail unless you are really desperate for a TE.

    I don't know. I have seen a lot of "experts" say the same thing.

    I think you should strongly consider investing in Devin Harris.

    Rodgers actually went in the first round of my draft. I find that there is always a few receivers that will emerge and you can pick them up on waivers if you are paying attention. But you are usually fine as long as you don't make homer picks or make stupid mistakes early on.

    Ok, I have to start 3 of the following:

    Cedric Benson versus Chicago
    Thomas Jones at Oakland
    Pierre Thomas at Miami
    Ahmad Bradshaw versus Arizona
    Stephen Jackson versus Indianapolis

    What do you guys think?
