Looks alright, my Philly friend! I'm guessing the system is your typical 10- to 12-team set-up, starting 1 QB, 2 RB's, 2 or 3 RC's, 1 Flex RB/RC, 1 PK and 1 DU/ST. If so, you have put together a very well-rounded squad. Watch out for Bell, though, at RB. He may disappoint. That said, James and Barber are your 1-2 punch. A little week at receiver. Got some definite question marks there. But, I like Ward and Kennison A LOT; Stokely and Driver a little. I would guess that you are hoping, though, that Bell is going to come through as your flex guy. Your D's are kind of eh. If points and yards allowed are big considerations, I'm not at all crazy about the two you have. But, from the look of things, given the great balance and quality you have everywhere else, you can afford that to be your weak position. Best of luck! [smiley=shammy.gif] I hope to see you around more and more.

I love your QBs. You can't go wrong there.

I also like your starting RBs, although Tiki will lose some TDs to the rookie. Bell is a question mark. I still like his prospects and he will contribute at some point this season.

At WR, Ward and Driver are solid. Kennison is, well, Kennison. You can count on about 800-900 yards and 5-6 TDs. Nothing too exciting. Stokley could be great if he's healthy and Galloway is a great guy to have as #5 on your roster.

Kicker is set for the season. In fact, after week 6, you could probably just dump Scobee altogether.

I think the Vikes defense will be improved and could be a decent starting option. The Giants D is a waste of a roster spot.

yup. only thing I'd add is to keep your eye on the waiver wire. there's always a couple WRs that break out and have a nice year. be ready to grab one and dump any non-performers you have.

guys like Travis Taylor, Bryant Johnson, Keary Colbert, Marty Booker...these are all guys available on many WW, who could have nice seasons.

I had first pick in the draft so there weren't many studs left when it got back to me. I do hope Bell gets in there, I'm guessing there would have to be an injury and I'm not wishing a season ender but a pulled hammy or twisted ankle I wouldn't mind. Ackers is my man, I'll throw scobee in there for his bye week and then he's gone. I wanted Walker because word is Farve is going to fire away this year but he got picked up quick so I figured I'd grab Driver. Any suggestions on a defense?

Consider San Diego and Denver. They are flying under many people's radars [smiley=radar.gif] right now.

And, by the way, [smiley=welcome.gif] to "the Gridiron", friend! Great to have you aboard! [smiley=twothumbsup.gif]
