Rate/Bash my Fantasy squad

[thenext54]

I am in a league with 9 other gents that are here from SCF - I have a Adrian Peterson Leaf R&S RC jsy at stake.

I drafted in #5 slot

I would like to see some thoughts on my team:

QB1 P. Manning
RB1 Ryan Grant
RB2 Jamal Lewis
WR1 Housh
WR2 Reggie Williams
WR3 Nate Burleson
TE Dallas Clark
K Mason Crosby
D/ST Indianapolis

Bench
Fred Taylor
Chester Taylor
Ricky Williams
David Garrard

*it was at this point I kicked on Auto draft (because I had to get somewhere) with my preferences set and all hell broke loose

Donald Lee (not bad Autopick!!)
Ted Ginn Jr (already traded out on the wire)
Reggie Brown (, going the way of Ginn also)

did everyone have to put in a card in the draft? i think your team is overall about a 6.5/10. i think that your keys to winning are ryan grant and peyton. you have a good chance at playoffs, not great thoug

yep, everyone put in one card with min. BV of $40. there is some pretty nice stuff in the pool

I feel like I'm saying this to people and writing it online virtually non-stop.

THE RUNNING BACK IS KING IN FANTASY FOOTBALL!

I assume Peyton Manning was your #1 pick, which left you with a garbage dump of a backfield.

I honestly don't think Ted Ginn Jr. is a bad pick. Your WRs are shaky, and he's a #1. Chad Pennington has quite a bit more talent than last year's crew of misfits, and a penchant for hitting little guys on the run (see: Coles, Laveranues). I would've kept him.

...just think, if you would've taken a top tier RB with your first pick, you could've had the luxury of a safety back, and a very decent QB in later rounds. Jumping on QBs seems to be a real trend on here.

UH because he was in in the same league as me where 6 point Td's reign supreme, a Running Back is king in FF as long as he wont score more than any of the QB's available, especially in a 6 point per all TD format Oh and to let you know, i won last year with two second tier running backs because Jackson was out a lot of time, and i had Lendale White and Deshaun Foster until i traded and got Maurice drew and found Aaron stecker.....to let you know how sucky my RB's were last year, I had Ronnie Brown, Steven Jackson, and Shaun Alexander...uhhhh LOL. All got injured, and i was basically screwed but wideouts were strong (Braylon,T.j. and Roddy) And i won with that team....so to prove your point wrong in another post, just because you have a top tier rb doesnt mean you will get anywhere baring injury or poor play.

I have seen your comments on other fantasy teams and they are all negative. So I didnt get Peterson or LT, but I drafted at 5!! Peyton Manning performs just the same as an elite RB

I KNOW THE RB IS KING but I got pretty good RBs in rounds 2-4, things dont always work the way you want, so you have to assess your options

Garbage dump of a backfield?? Come on dude!! are you serious, I have 4 reliable options w/ Ricky Williams as a huge sleeper
RB1 Ryan Grant
RB2 Jamal Lewis
Fred Taylor
Chester Taylor
Ricky Williams

the only area I admit to being weak is at WR. And I will address that as needed

[gladdyontherise]

Fred Taylor i think is the most underrated back in fantasy football. the last 6 games last year i believe he got atleast 100 yards rushing and went to the pro-bowl! Taylor i would hold onto. if AP gets hurt, which is a good possibility, then he would start, and williams has been doing good in training camp i heard. WR's are pretty shaky, but every year there's always people to get off waivers so just monitor it closely on WR's and you should be set!

I found the best way to do anything is just ignore him, what i consider a super solid team, he considers a 5/10 team....he says RB is king, yet i took Gore first round at either 8 or 9, and evidently the RB is not king in his opinion. Ill give you my view on your team, solid, just need a couple wideouts, he called my team in our league garbage as well, and no way going to playoffs. Said Brandon Jacobs and Turner were basically "garbage backfield"

I honestly don't think Ted Ginn Jr. is a bad pick.

I have a horrible team, but Ted Ginn could be my savior?? I hope he can run back a lot of kicks, because Pennington wont be throwing deep balls to match his speed.
