Answer 1

what kind of league is this - how many teams? 6?

Obvioulsy, replace T. Jones in the lineup w/ K. Jones.

Pick up Chris Brown and Dominic Rhodes who are least starters for now - add Lendale White as well which will give you the TEN backfield. Gore is a starter too. Hell, pick up all of them.

You have 2 of the top 5 WR plus Matt Jones on your bench - so you're all set there.

Drop: Big Ben, TB, Kasay, and T. Jones
Pick up: Rhodes, Gore, Brown, and White

Answer 2

You are correct, you don't need 3 QB's, but I would rather keep 1 kicker or TE. Whichever one of your starters at those positions has an earlier bye week, keep their backup. Neither Stevens or Kasay is really worth anything so drop the one in which the starter has the later of the 2 bye weeks.

I would personally pick up Frank Gore as he is the most likely of those 6 to be a starter. Matter of fact, if the bye weeks for the backup kicker and TE aren't until later in the season, drop them both and pick up Gore and White.

Unfortunately, it is painfully obvious you waited waaay too long to pick up RB's, so the more depth you have at RB the better odds you have of finding 2 good starters. Personally, I would not take Manning in the 1st round as Drew Bledsoe should be a top 6 QB this year. I would actually look to trade Peyton along with Harrison or Holt and one of your RB's, and look to pick up a stud RB and another very good WR or 2. You probably couldnt get a top 3 RB, but Portis, Tiki, or Edge plus a top 10 WR and someone else would be fine. Also, expect Gonzalez's #'s to drop off dramatically this year as the Chiefs will be forced to keep the TE in for blocking on pass plays more often with the retirement of Willie Roaf.

Answer 3

I live in Chicago and am a HUGE Bears fan and it seems to be that so far Benson is the starter. The final decision will come before the regular season opener based on pre-season play. There is also a rumor that Benson and Jones will split carries, which will hurt Jones' stats. I would probably drop T. Jones, and look at Ron Dayne and LenDale White. Ron Dayne might become a starting back, but LenDale White will become a Goal Line back for the Titans. According to Yahoo! Fantasy Videos I watch, LenDale may not make a big impact at first, but will as the Titans will use him as a powerback for the goal line. Go for either one of those two.

Answer 4

Get rid of Kasay. You don't need two kickers on your roster. You also don't need to hang on to J. Stevens. I believe that D. Rhodes was named the starter in Indy. This is his shot and he should make the most of it. I would also pick up White. Brown is already hurt with some stupid injury and it was only a matter of time + he's unhappy in Tenn. Grab those two RBs, they will be worth more in the long run than the TE and Kicker that you have at this point. Wait until the season starts and then shop Big Ben around.

Answer 5

1st, trade the qb with most value for a rb. Than drop TB Kasay for Dayne, cuz he has a good chance to start, and even if he doesn't, bell won't get all the 12 tds from m.anderson. also, try dropin tb for another wr, since you have 3 starters. Nice team overall, except for the lack of stud rbs.

Answer 6

Drop Thomas Jones and pick up Ron Dayne right now he is the most likely to be the starter in Denver and i would put Kevin Jonesas the starter

Answer 7

League ID#: 345054

Answer 8

Drop your second kicker and grab Ron Dayne. He's getting the majority of reps at bronco camp and Denver runs the ball a lot.

Answer 9

I would drop as many players as I could and add as many of those backs as I could with the exception of Gado.

Answer 10

trade bledsoe or rothelisberger to some one who doesnt have much QB depth but has RB depth
