Zero WRs and I am not too high on Dom Davis. I hope you pick up Hollings because Davis will not last the season and the Texans didn't give up a 2nd round pick just for s***s and giggles to get Hollings. Other than that your team is damn good. I would try to package Dom Davis with a WR to get a better WR, but that is just me.

First of all you don't know the rules of my league to know if Culpepper will or will not score significantly better than Brooks (torn quad) and McNair (who is always broken down by the end of the season). Our point system gives 2 points for every 50 yeards passing and 2 points for every 20 yards rushing. 6 points per TD running or throwing. He is much more consistent than either of those 2 QBs you mentioned and could possibly be the fantasy MVP. Culpepper runs much more than either of those 2 QBs and scores more TDs than either of them and has stayed healthy for the better part of his career. Did you see who I passed on to get him? Any good RB? In between getting Culpepper (2nd round) and Jones (3rd round) the RBs there were Dominick Davis, Corey Dillon, Stephen Davis, Travis Henry and Kevan Barlow. Except for Barlow and Dillon each of those backs may be splitting carries. Barlow is still a question mark and Dillon is way over rated and too inconsistent. You are way off base here. Second, the Bears are running a version of the KC/STL offense correct? One thing we have learned from these 2 offenses is that the RB IS the focal point. The RB has become a FANTASY STUD in both offenses. Marshall Faulk was already very good, but no one would have guessed he would ever have put up those types of numbers. Preist Holmes? An undrafted FA with Baltimore who showed some promise but became a backup to Jamal Lewis. No one else even gave him a contract offer during his FA year when KC signed him. He lasted a long time as other FA RBs were being signed, he was not on anyone's wish list. I have a lot of faith in Thomas Jones and have no fear of A train stealing away any carries. That is just a laugh. Lee Suggs has more talent in his big toe than William Green has in his whole body. William Green brings a new meaning to Mr. Green and simply has too much trouble running with the ball with Billy BONG Thorton snuggled under his shoulder pads. Chris Brown looked good last year and has continued to impress this year. I have no doubt that he will be a good one. Julius Jones should take over the job from Eddie George permanently by week 6. Stephen Jackson should take over for Marshall Faulk sometime this year as Faulk is really looking old and his knees are gone. I wouldn't touch Dillon with a ten foot pole as Bilicheck has not even decided how he will use his RBs yet and he has not shown a thing in 2,3 years and when he has it was very inconsistent. In 2001 he had over 1300 yards but only 4 100 yard games and scored 10 TDs. In 2002 he had 1300 yards but had only 5 100 yard games and scored only 7 TDs. Last year he was just awful. I would be much more worried about my chances if I had no Culpepper, no TJ, but had Moss, Dillon and Brooks. That would make me sick to my stomach. If you like Deuce so much then please take him and see how far he gets you as a #1 back. I think as a number 2 RB he is great and will take you far, but as my #1 I would be just as satisfied as taking Moss #1 and coming back to get either Kevan Barlow or Thomas Jones a round or 2 later. TO ME his price is way too high and he will not be worth the pick you spend on him. I am willing to bet you right now that barring injury Thomas Jones, Chris Brown and Lee Suggs all go over 1000 yards. Another thing, if a RB averages 6.5 yards a carry against 3 other starting defenses, no matter when it is, it should make you take notice. This line is a very good run blocking line with Tait, Brown, Kreutz, Gandy, and Mitchell. It will be even better if Columbo and Tucker come back healthy. Dude, I could care less how many leagues you win or how many you are in. I have played for 12 years in many different leagues. Your advice is solid, but honestly you should know something about the scoring of a league before you start making comparisons and rash judgements. Culpepper will outscore both those QBs by a very significant margin. The only one that came even close to him last year was Peyton Manning, as they were neck and neck. Other than that it wasn't even close. I was able to get the best QB and possible fantasy football MVP with my 2nd round pick, with my first rounder I was able to get the best WR, bar none, in fantasy football and with my 3rd pick I was able to get a back that will be playing the Preist Holmes/Marshall Faulk role. I would much rather take my chances on Culpepper, Jones, Brown, and Moss than say Aaron Brooks, Deuce McAllister, Corey Dillon, and Joe Horn (3rd round WR). I was in 3 leagues last year and I am in 3 leagues this year. Ahman Green did not make it out of the top 10 last year in any of my leagues and this year never made it out of the top 5. Good luck to you in all your leagues this year.

Honestly I can't see a player of Ahman Green's stature falling to #13 overall last year. I really can't. They only way is if you were with a bunch of people that hated the Packers and didn't want to touch him because they didn't want to root for him. That is understandable, however you have to learn to seperate fantasy sports and reality. You can always bench him when playing aginast your favorite team or root against the team he is playing for but hope he has a good game. He may have had an average year in 2002 with and had a fumbling problem, but he had a lot of upside and fumbles usually don't hurt you in fantasy football. Very few league that I have been in and heard of have actually subtracted points from a player losing a fumble because it isn't the easiest thing to keep track of. Apology accepted and I too am sorry.

I have a history of this? One person and we have made our peace. I never called anyone dumbasses. I called them dummies. How that affects you I have no idea as I never called you a dummy. Whatever!

I looked and only found one that actually had him ranked that low. What are you smokin? Great, insults, whats next? You gonna sit in the corner and suck on your thumb like a little child as well?

? :dips***

Ok, I would understand these cats being ranked ahead of Ahman Green last year: Clinton Portis Ladanian Tomlinson Priest Holmes Shaun Alexander Deuce McAllister Ricky Williams Marshall Faulk After that it is time for Green and in some cases he was ranked ahead of Alexander and McAllister. Jamal Lewis adn Edgerrin James were not ranked ahead of Green as they were 2 full years removed from serious injury and no one knew Jamal Lewis was going to do what he did last year. Fred Taylor was never ahead of Green last year because he has always been injury prone and no one wants that risk with their #1 pick or #1 RB. Now, you have 8 RBs there including Green. What WR LAST YEAR, would you have taken ahead of Green? Anyone? Maybe Harrison, maybe Moss and that is it. What QB? I never saw Vick go in the first round last year. Maybe Culpepper and Manning, and that is a big Maybe. Any mock draft or cheat sheet that had Green ranked 13th overall was a piece of s***. I'm the ignorant bastard? That is what you said. It is not always right to take a RB just to take one when you the top tier RBs are gone and you can get Moss and Culpepper and come back and get guys like T. Jones, C. Brown, and L. Suggs. This is a different year than last. Those RBs from last year are not there this year. There is the top five and then it drops off. Just because I don't take a RB with my first 2 picks does not mean I don't make the running game my priority. 2nd round I take Culpepper, the 2nd best RUNNING QB behind only Vick. My next 3 picks are RBs, T. Jones, C. Brown, L. Suggs. I don't think it is wise to pick a RB in the 1st or 2nd round just so you can grab one. I would not want to be stuck with Travis Henry, Dominick Davis, Marshall Faulk, Kevan Barlow, Corey Dillon as my #1 RB and not have Culpepper on my team. I believe T. Jones can be just as good as any of those players and I think Moss can outproduce any RB that was taken after him. That is something no other WR can do. Please make sure you know what you are talking about before you call anyone ignorant.

And what exactly have you known?

So sorry, jeeze! Still St Louis D/ST sucks ass. YOu could have done way better than that. You asked me personally what I thought of your team and I let you know. Now you are mad because of my opinion? Then you nitpick one mistake I made. Whatever, St Louis D should not even be drafted as they are downright awful.

They can watch football as long as they want. If they don't knwo todays players, such as Ahman Green, which they oviously don't, then they are a bunch of dummies. Sorry to break the news to you. He shouldn't have lasted til the 13th pick.

From my rankings I have Thomas Jones listed at 18, Chris Brown at 20, and Lee Suggs at 24. Does that count as one of the top 15 or so? Lets see where these guys finish the season. I bet all will be in the top 15 at the end of the season.

You are saying that a 2nd tier RB like Deuce or Edge is going to out produce a 3rd tier RB by that much? Randy Moss is head and shoulders above every other WR you can name. The only way to beat Moss is to be able to grab both Harrison and another stud such as Owens or Ward. Unfortunately there is not another WR that is as consistent as Moss is year after year that you can count on like you can count on him. I have a lot of fantasy knowledge as I have been playing for 12 years now and have been in many different types of leagues. I am also in charge of a fantasy website and teach people about tiering, something you obviously know nothing about. As for saying that I depend too much on other players around the player that I am picking, you are damn right I do. He may produce god numbers without good players around him. However, he will not produce GREAT numbers without good players around him. Walter and Barry Sanders always had an above average line. Barry Sanders had a couple of years when he was in one of the best offenses in the league. Good luck to you this season. I would much rather have a stud WR such as Moss than an average back. After Preist, Portis, Green, Alexander, and Tomlinson are gone it is time to grab Moss. That is a fact. He is in a league of his own and uncomparable to any other player.

Boldin will be back in week 4-6. Calico will be back in week 2 or 3. Moss is a stud. Lelie and Walker are 3rd year breakout receivers. Calico and Boldin are 2nd year guys but we already know what Bolding can do. I would have been weak at RB if I took Moss and Culpepper or if I took the best RB available. I may as well grab the best overall QB and possible fantasy MVP plus the best WR in fantasy football instead of 2 mediocre RBs. JMO.

If you got Tomlinson and Green last year, especially in a 12 team league, then you were in a league with bunch of dummies. I would love to be in your league.

No it wont. That was a very good pick.

Obviously you are solid at RB1 and 2 and TE. I don't like any of your WRs as I even made an effort to avoid Laveraneous Coles and Eric MOulds. Laveraneous is way to fragile and always wears down at the end of the season. Washington will be counting heavily on their running game. The rest of the WRs you have don't even need to be mentioned. Travis Henry will be splitting carries. Rams defense will flat out stink and playing against Seattle, New Orleans, and Atlanta 2 times a year sure doesn't help. charlie Garner is always hurt, it is just a matter of when. Brunell has never thrown for more than 20 TDs in a season and has only thrown for 20 once. He has always been over rated. Tom Brady is a decent starter, but I like Carr to have as good a year as he will. Carson Palmer is another QB to look out for. You helped your receivers by getting Tony Gonzalez to play TE, but you will most likely have a real problem at WR all year long. Your QBs are average. Besides Green and Barlow your RBs are not very good. Your D/ST is worthless. Stover is good. I can't say I really like your team as it is not balanced and you will be counting on Ahman Green to pull it out for you all year long.

Deuce has looked horrible in pre season this year and they are blaming it on the loss of his outstanding full back Terrell Smith. He has taken a lot of hits the last two seasons as well. I will take a WR that had 1632 yards and 17 Tds last year over a RB that had 1641 yards rushing and 10 total Tds last year. I also have had Deuce the last couple years in a keeper league. He really isn't a stud. He is more of a 2nd tier guy if you ask me. He is no where in the class of Holmes, Tomlinson, Gree, Portis, or Alexander. Those are the only stud RBs. After that you have a bunch of 2nd tier guys. I would even put Edge and Jamal Lewis ahead of McAllister. So instead of getting 2 2nd/3rd tier RBs and a 2nd/3rd tier WR and 3rd/4th tier QB I got the best WR in the game and the best QB in the game plus a 2 3rd tier RBs. I realyl don't see your logic here. How much better did Deuce last year than other RBs? How much better was Moss than any other WR last year? Moss is head and shoulders above any other WR. You can't say that about Deuce. Case closed.

I drafted 6th. After Holmes, Tomlinson, Green, Portis, Alexander were taken. I don't consider any of the other RBs after that ELITE. I think Thomas Jones has as good as a chance as any to produce like any runningback after those 5 are taken. I went with Randy Moss. You know the guy that scored 17 TDs last year. The guys is unstoppable. James, McAllister, Lewis, Faulk, Taylor, R. Johnson, were the RBs that went after Moss and before I picked Culpepper. Again I see none of these guys as head and shoulders above Thomas Jones, or Chris Brown. After I picked Culpepper and before I picked Jones the follwing RBs were taken: Stephen Davis, Dominick Davis, Dillon, Henry, and Barlow. Then I picked Jones. I would have taken Barlow if he had fallen, but again none of these RBs are head and shoulders above Thomas Jones. Culpepper and Moss are the elite at their positions. Only Manning can compare to Culpepper at Moss is FAR better than any other receiver. There is no one you can possibly compare Moss to. He is the SUPERFREAK. I am quite happy with Thomas Jones, Chris Brown, and Lee Suggs as my top 3 backs. Julius Jones could be a steal if he starts. Jevon Walker is very overrated, however I drafted him in the 6th round, so that is pretty much where I would take a guy like that. Houston was taken just for week 1. I rotate my defenses all year long considering who they are playing each week. Houston plays SD the first week and they are down right awful. So go ahead and take the mediocre RBs in the first 2 rounds. I will take Moss and Culpepper once those top 5 are gone every single time. In the third round someone will be there for me to take, just like Jones, Brown, and Suggs did this time.

QB Dante Culpepper, 2nd round QB David Carr, 13th round RB Thomas Jones, 3rd round RB Chris Brown, 4th round RB Lee Suggs, 5th round RB Quentin Griffin, 7th round RB Julius Jones, 8th round RB Steven Jackson, 10th round WR Randy Moss, 1st round WR Jevon Walker, 6th round WR Ashley Lelie, 9th round WR Anquan Boldin, 11th round WR Tyrone Calico, 12th round D/ST Houston Texans, 15th round K Josh Brown, 14th round what you guys think?

I am still trying to figure out why Bartman is considered an idiotic fan. Did no one else in the whole media not see everyone else around him reaching for the ball? The media should be calling that whole section of fans idotic if they want to go that far. Anyways the ball was in the stands. It is the fans right to the ball.

Hell yes! If you can get Ahman Green for TO you do that in a heart beat. THen see if you can get Randy Moss for LT.

why? There are a ton that are better or have more potential than Franks. Jeramy Stevens and Antonio Gates area couple I would much rather have.

I am not a big fan of either Deuce or LT this season. Yes I know LT caught 100 balls last year and rand for 1600 yards, but did you notice what happened to his offensive line during the offseason? LT lost 8 out of his 11 Offensive lineman from last year and one of the 3 remaining, his center, is holding out. He also will have a rookie QB this year and no WRs. At least last year he had David Boston and Doug Flutie. Not only this, but his defense absolutely sucks and they will fall behind in most games early. This will take away the use of the running game as they will be playing catch up. Deuce McAllister lost his fullback Terrell Smith to Cleveland and it looks like it has really hurt him so far this pre season. Except for the Bears game Deuce has looked average at best. I would much rather have Clinton Portis, Shaun Alexander, Preist Holmes, Ahman Green or even Randy Moss before either of these two guys. Just my personal opinion.

Reject it. Tatum Bell will eventually be the starter. They didn't use a 2nd round pick on him for nothing. Reggie Wayne is a piece of s***. Terrell Owens is a top 5 WR. YOu always want to be getting the best player in the deal. You would not be. This deal sucks for you. JUST SAY NO!

Dont the chargers also have one of the worst O-Lines in the NFL?
