Don't slap your back to hard, it might hurt.

[Yatagarasu]

You should have put money in your league cause you're ready for a big season.

Man, a lot of good names did fall to you.

No wonder it's free.

Shall I clap for you or do you want a cookie?

Sorry to rain on your parade but you are not stacked. You say you are stacked at RB... no. The only good one you have is CJ, I wouldn't trust Charles or McCoy. Felix Jones and Forsett has backups.. I would say you need to improve at RB and far away from stacked at RB. Receiver I'll say you are somewhat stacked but not stacked as you may believe.

Also Brent Celek is a ok TE, and Miller is decent so I would say TE is your weakest spot, along with Denver as your starting defense. Since it was only 10 teams there should be some decent defenses in Free Agency, go upgrade to the Titans defense if they weren't taken, maybe the 49ers if they weren't taken. Looks like TE & Defense need some improving along with RB depth.

Here's stacked at RB:

- Adrian Peterson
- DeAngelo Williams
- Pierre Thomas
- Marion Barber

That is one of my fantasy leagues.

Ok, well I'll be glad to help you. The thing about Running Backs is that you also have to know if they have a solid offensive line. I look at KC and they don't have a offensive line, if you remember Cassel was sacked over 30 times so that show you something about their line. Also Thomas Jones will take some carries away from him as well.

Mendenhall will be good and will be good value for the first 4 weeks with Ben gone, Benson is iffy because it all depends on the Bengals offensive line.

[craziejosh]

But with an ok qb and an explosive runner like charles (from what i've heard) wouldnt he get a enough carries even with jones there and if he was good last year with a decent line why will his production drop?

[craziejosh]

I'm just gonna post my whole team and hope someone can help me out.

QB - D. Brees NO
RB1 - R. Mendenhall PIT
RB2 - C. Benson CIN
WR1 - C. Johnson DET
WR2 - S. Moss WAS
WR3 - J. Knox CHI
TE - J. Finley GB
DEF - SF
K - M. Prater DEN
BN - J. Flacco BAL
BN - J. Charles KC
BN - D. Brown IND
BN - S. Breaston ARI
BN - M. Williams TB (pending)
BN - O. Daniels HOU

I wouldn't give up on Charles, he showed alot of bright spots @ the end of last year.. that doesn't necessarily mean he's going to be good this year (see Matt Forte from rookie season to year two).. I would def use him as a change of pace (i.e. if the match up is favorable)

For RB I'd say Week 1 go w/ your gut between Mendenhall, Charles, and Benson.. in fact like JO said as long as Ben is out Mendenhalls value is increased.. you should almost never have to touch your QB unless brees is injured, or on a bye week, WR I think I'd play the matchup on @ least Knox... Breaston could get more looks with Boldin gone, but Fitz is gonna be the main target... and @ TE, I'd almost say to play Owen Daniels over Finley... if anybody wants to call me out on it; daniels was the top fantasy TE in the league until he got injured last year.. but compared to finley it's a push

[Reddawn36]

I'm kind of in a unique situation.. I'll post my team, and explain after

QB: Joe Flacco
RB: Michael Turner
RB: Rashard Mendenhall
WR: Brandon Marshall
WR: Donald Driver
WR: Pierre Garcon
TE: Zach Miller
DST: Dallas Cowboys
K: Billy Cundiff

BN: QB: Carson Palmer
BN: RB: Matt Forte
BN: RB: Jahavid Best
BN: WR: Devin Aromashodu
BN: WR: Sidney Rice
BN: TE: Kellen Winslow

My situation is I'm gonna be in boot for the first 9 weeks of the season (in fact day 1 is NFL kickoff) I went off of who I think is going to help me win more games in that period of time.. I haven't really taken into accounts Bye Weeks as I just did the draft today, and confident that I might be able to make a playoff push w/ this team w/o having to do too much altering... if worst comes to worst, I can have a friend alter positions

but if any1 else has any advice, I'll take it (I went w/ Cundiff because.. I figure we'll score a good amount this year... I originally looked for Mason Crosby)

[ROH522155]

To the guys that said do you want a cookie and dont pat myself on the pack too hard: haha im just kidding

And anybody who is not high on Jamaal Charles is crazy. Sure they have THomas Jones now but look at the last 8 games from last season. Over 900 yards rushing only CJ had more. And Felix Jones is one of the most explosive backs in the league and I believe is Dallas' best option at running back with over 5 yards per carry last season. I beg to differ about not being stacked at running back.

[ROH522155]

And Brent Celek ok? He was one of the best tight ends in the league last year but alright...and with so much skill at other positions, I can get by with Denvers defense....I guarantee that at the end of the season you'll know i'm right and this team will win it all.
