I like your team, but not sold on your WR's. I'm high on Colsten, but he just got banged up. I think the Lions take a hit this year on offense with Martz leaving. I can't get a read on Stallworth. With teams not looking at Edwards, he could be worth it, but didn't do anything with the best team last year. Walter and Gonzalez were good value picks.

thanks for the feedback guys.

walk, colston hurt? f me everyone i drafted turns out is hurt lol I am not sold on my wr's either ,, I am thinking that 1 out of 4 guys either, c.johnson, stallworth, walter or gonzalez can give me some #1 type of numbers. Im banking that all these #2wr guys get some nice opps with all of attention being payed to the other side of the field in cleveland with (b.edwards),detriot (roy wil) and hou (a.johnson).

Still not sold on my wr as a whole, but hoping one of those guys situations improve even more.

I believe Colston left the game the other night with bruised ribs. Not that bad of an injury, but ribs are now prime target on him.

Hey just a question for your league.

So say you had a stacked defense that was tearing it up most weeks. Does that mean you have to release them when they have a bye week and risk not being able to pick them up the next week?

Same with the kicker.

Only asking because I just got into another league (8 man league) and we're only allowed 3 bench players so I didn't take a backup tight end kicker or defense.

In my 12 team league this is never a problem because we over-carry at every position so this is never a problem.

What do you do for these weeks? Release them on a bye and risk not getting them back or just start them anyway and take the 0 points.

J--I think you did pretty well. Lynch goes first round in my league for sure, so to get him at # 15 is a steal. I am curious where LJ went.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

right now i would probably have to swap defense for defense and kicker for a kicker was my plan.

It would be tough to drop julius jones or selvin young to keep a goot kicker or D, but yea thats how my league works, descisions.....
