Re: 2011 Fantasy Football Thread
You have a very good problem. Jesus you were stacked at RB last year. I would not keep Peyton Hillis. Both of your other 2 choice are being undervalued in the early rankings ive seen. Its a toss up. This could be Rivers peak career year. Or Jackson very well could be a top 5 receiver. I have him listed number 6 or 7 receiver and Rivers my number 3 QB. you cant go wrong either way. If your like me, I put higher value on a good WR vs QB, probably roll with Jackson.

Re: 2011 Fantasy Football Thread
I would like to introduce you all to a project my team and I reedpop.com have been working on for some time that is finally coming to fruition: The Fantasy Football Fest. To be held August 18-19 at the AC Convention Center, Atlantic City NJ, this event while covering all things fantasy will be a celebration of football and the football fan lifestyle. Fan apparel, memorabilia, current and former NFL stars, EA Madden Challenge, outdoor tailgating expo, beer and oh yeah fantasy football. From cash drafts for big prizes to the ability to host your own league draft, this show will have serious expert content for the serious fantasy gamer with real expert advice. The industry response has been amazing and since our initial press release last week we have had several former NFL stars (Marino, Chris Doleman, and Tiki quickly come to mind) already tweeting about how cool this sounds and how they plan on being there.
Sound interesting...like something maybe you and your buddies would check out? (cost for the two day event will be $50). For the fantasy commissioners out there…would you consider trying to round up your whole league and host your draft party there in AC? Curious as to any feedback you may have. Also, feel free to contact me via e-mail if you have thoguhts, questions, want more info, etc: jackie at reedpop dot com HTTR. |

Re: 2011 Fantasy Football Thread
Yeah I was thinking Jackson too. My only problem this is Jackson is coming off a hold out last year and the nonsense in this offseason so I am a little concerned about his chances of an injury. However Hillis is on the cover of madden so I guess keeping him would be even riskier! Thanks man

Re: 2011 Fantasy Football Thread
I have a free league out of yahoo that will be running with 14 teams and 6 playoff teams for weeks 14,15, and 16. I have like 10 of my close friends in the league but I'd like to add some good Redskins fans in the mix. It's a PPR league with a starting qb,rb,rb,wr,wr,wr,wr/rb,wr/rb/te, and 7 bench positions making a total of 18 rounds. It's a pretty deep league draft with over 250 selections keeping good players off the free agents. Every team plays each other once before the playoffs begin and we'll be drafting at the end of August or beginning of September probably on a Sunday. email me at jonny5dicky@yahoo.com if you're interested, it's a very well set up league.

Re: 2011 Fantasy Football Thread
Who would you take between these back up RBs, I need 1 of the following:
Beanie Wells Tim Hightower Cedric Benson Im leaning Wells based on opportunity and stronger offensive team this year. Benson is rated higher than both, but im not buying it. Some advice please. My starters are Ray Rice, L. Blount, and Ryan Grant. Not great, but above average IMO.

Re: 2011 Fantasy Football Thread
This is how my draft ended up
QB- Phillip Rivers, Drew Brees RB- BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Aahmad Bradshaw WR-Sidney Rice, Dwayne Bowe, Roy Williams, Mike Thomas, Michael Crabtree, Antonio Brown TE- Owen Daniels DL-Elvis Dumervill, Charles Johnson LB- Jerod Mayo, Jonathan Vilma, Curtis Lofton DB- Tyvon Branch, J. Joseph K-Mason Crosby I have two deals that I'm negotiating. One for Rivers where I get Andre Johnson. And one for Brees where Ill get either Forte and Ochocinco or Jones Drew and Lee Evans. What do you all think ?

What rounds did you pick your QB's? you may have left a more talented player o nthe board that could have helped you every week. Unless you have a two QB league and in that case your QB situation rocks!

But assuming you're in an average sized league, I'm not sure why all the other owners let you rob them.

MonkFan, I would definitely try to identify a team that could use a QB upgrade and play hardball with them. Try to trade Rivers for a good RB AND a decent WR. Something like Rivers & Crabtree for Steven Jackson & Lance Moore.

Re: 2011 Fantasy Football Thread
Nice, Forte could have a damn good season and I think Boldin could bounce back nicely too. If you could swing Rivers (and maybe one of you depth guys) for those two you'd have a really nice squad. Good luck this season!
