That sucks bro.

There are some good free agents available if you see some you want to pick up i.e. Ricky Williams, Willis Mgahee, Marion Barber, LaDanian Tomlinson, C.J. Spiller, etc.
As long as it looks good I'll roll it.

I wonder if there is a block here at work. That would be weird, they generally block nothing at an institution of higher education.

Entropy's team is actually really damn good. Shows how bright we all are.


On paper for week 1, I beat him at the QB and DEF position, but his Running Backs and Receivers beat me. And that's only because I have what will likely be the best QB and DEF all season, Tom Brady and the NY Jets.


Entropy is rolling out this starting line-up:

QB Tony Romo
RB Arian Foster
WR Calvin Johnson
WR Larry Fitzgerald
TE Owen Daniels
RB/WR/TE Peyton Hillis
DEF Green Bay

Notable Back-Ups:

RB Jahvid Best
WR Mike Wallace
WR Steve Smith


If Steve Smith recovers to old form this year, Entropy has the hands down best WR core. Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald BOTH suffered form poor QB play last year and BOTH look to have MUCH better signal callers throwing their way with Kolb's arrival in Arizona and Matthew Stafford healthy again.

And of course, he's got the #1 RB in Arian Foster, who should benefit from even more possessions and carries if Wade Phillips can improve the Houston Defense with his 3-4 scheme. I don't get the Foster-Peterson debate. The Vikings O-line is average at best, they lost their top reciever, Donovan McNabb is no better than Favre at this point, and the Vikings D is not what it used to be. On top of it all, Peterson has more wear and tear, and now has Gerhart in the backfield in his second season to help shoulder the load. The Vikings also play better Defenses in Green Bay, Chicago, and Detroit 6 games thi year than the Texans against the Colts, Jags, and Titans.

Just my .02

Sorry guys stuck in a damn meeting. I need to see how bad I did.

I mistakenly thought it was a 2 RB + 1 RB/WR/TE league (my other leagues are) and I drafted 3 RBs from the start...put me a little out of sync, but I think I ended up pretty well set anyway. We'll see how it works out. Maybe some trade bait.

I have bad TE's....I'm being very humble, and not bragging....We shall see how this all pans out. The injury wild card is always a threat. It'll be a lot of fun !

The angry little man will be looking to trade for a back once he finds out Mikel Leshoure is out for the year.

Chris Johnson and Michael Turner, togethor, will roll over Arian Foster points wise.

SOMEONE didn't read the OP or the scoring rules.

Using last year's stats and our modified scoring, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady = #1 and #2 scorers.

Again, I changed QB touchdowns from 4 points to 6 points to reflect REALITY - QB touchdowns are worth the same in the NFL, and the NFL is a QB-centric league.

QB in the 1st round makes complete sense in our league if you weren't picking in the top half of the round when Foster, Peterson, Charles were available.



You're all gonna die at the hands of my dreamy QB and ridiculous defense.

You can only start 2 RBs maximum. Arian Foster + Peyton Hillis is just as good IMO.

I read the point scoring changes alright. You will see how little a difference the 4 to 6 point touchdown scoring will matter. 1st round QB's make little sense and, remember, I picked dead last and wound up with two of the premiere RB's in the league.

Also, since I was late, I picked my 1st round QB in the 3rd anyway. Yahoo Took Mendenhall and Andre Johnson for me in rounds 1 and 2

Hmmmm.....

I've got too many good RBs and my WR core could be a bit better....


Tim Hightower OR Darren Sproles + Stevie Johnson for a WR better than Johnson and some other garbage of your choice anyone ????

Hey, I am a homer and a huge Peyton Hillis fan especially since he was a Razorback but in no way is he on the level of Turner or Johnson. He is in a bad system and he is basically all Cleveland has. Defenses will key him this year and the Madden cover curse will bite hard. He is a load to bring down but he is a marked man.

Cleveland has a good offensive system in place now along with a coaching staff that isn't trying to actively screw over Colt because he wasn't "their guy"

Colt looked pretty damn good the other night. He's incredibly accurate and arm strength doesn't really matter in the West Coast offense.

I think you're in for a surprise with regard to the Cleveland offense.
