WoW! Looks great on paper. A healthy team all season would be a playoff shoe-in I think.

WR Anthony Gonzalez
WR Patrick Crayton
RB Laurence Maroney
RB Maurice Jones-Drew
TE Vernon Davis
BN Selvin Young
BN Matt Ryan

Your bench lacks a little bit of depth but wow, if your starters stay healthy I'd say that you stole the league. You're strong in every position and would say you have a good shot at the league title.

I disagree....your RB's aren't that great (Maroney doesn't touch the ball in NE b/c of their offense, and Jones-Drew splits too many carries with Taylor), and thats usually the big scorers in fantasy football, plus you only really have one good WR. Gonzo and Crayton are 3rd WR's for their teams. Plus, your TE won't get you many points, seeing as he's in SF.

It looks like a pretty good team, but I have to agree w/nadeau on those points. I think Selvin Young might be your best point producer, aside from Peyton...w/Henry gone and what he showed he could do last year, I'd say he's a good option. But Maroney didn't put up great numbers last year even when he was healthy (I know, I had him) and MJD will split w/Taylor...they're both pretty good backs, but not great. Gonzalez and Crayton could have good years, but they are 3rd WRs and will see limited passes come their way...I have a lot more faith in Gonzo than I do Crayton. I would definitely try to get a different backup QB....a rookie QB on a crappy team? Ryan most likely is not going to put up good numbers this year. If Atl does anything at all, it will be on Turner's shoulders, not Ryan's. Hopefully Darrell Jackson will pick up and get back to his former self and put up some good numbers and Rice could be a decent option if Tarvaris continues to get better and Peterson keeps the defense locked in on him.

I looked at it this way, both Maroney and Drew will get more carries, and catches as well. Crayton and Gonzalez with both see an upturn in production as well. You don't think Marvin Harrison is about finished? Addai isn't much of a receiver and Manning doesn't throw to his TEs as much lately. My bench was drafted in really late rounds, and I figure to need Ryan for 1 week. I don't need to go 15-0 to just MAKE the playoffs, and I'd rather enter as a lower seed anyhow.

[nadeau01_johnson48]

I don't....I think Harrison has a few good years left in him. And Peyton doesn't pass to his TE's? Did you see Clarks numbers last year? He had 11 TD's. He mainly looks for Clark when they're close to the goalline. Clark takes TD's away from Wayne/Harrison/Gonzalez.

[wwf1fan1]

Clark's TD's are just mainly short chunks of yardage. It's not like the Dilger and Pollard days is what I'm saying.

[nadeau01_johnson48]

Yea, but he still had over 600 yards, and regardless of yards, he had 11 TD's. That's the point I'm trying to make--Clark steals TD's from Harrison/Wayne/Gonzalez.

[elway4ever]

I would say it is a playoff team but I agree that maroney is a risky pick just cuz he really is a last option on that offense... i mean lots of times you see kevin faulk getting more touches on that team. But in my opion Jones-drew is gonna be a monster this year! Plus you got manning....

Fragile Fred is almost done for the Jags.I've seen Jones-Drew play, and he can be a threat in the return game sometimes.
