I'm in a 8 person league, so everyone is pretty stacked. I'm kind of curious as to whether or not I should start Cooley or Winslow. I think Cooley may struggle against MIA LB's. Who knows.

Starters
QB - Carson Palmer CIN
RB - Larry Johnson KC
RB - Travis Henry DEN
WR - Larry Fitzgerald ARZ
WR - Andre Johnson HOU
TE - Chris Cooley WAS
PK - Josh Brown SEA
DEF - New England

Benched
QB - Matt Leinart ARZ
RB - C. Williams TB
WR - Santana Moss WAS
WR - Joey Galloway TB
TE - Kellen Winslow CLE

Well, that depends on whether you get points for receptions. I do see Winslow getting 80+ catches and 900 yards or so with about 5-6 td's.
Cooley should get around 60-65 catches with maybe around 700-750 yards, 6 or 7 tds.
If it were me, I'd start Winslow, he's the second best TE option out there.

Being that shallow of a league, you had no better option than Carnell Williams? That guy is done, and Pittman has already been named the goalline carrier. So he'll be lucky to get 4 tds all season...and he will likely not be in Chucky's favor by week 4 and pittman will take his carries too. Williams is on an extremely short leash.

Andre Johnson is going to have an amazing year! 100+ catches, 1200+ yards, 7-8 td's. Moss is great, but his fragile hammy means he won't be there week in and week out.
Don't listen to Skins fans, cause 9 times out of 10 they will tell you to use the Skins player. Fact is, everyone here was PISSED last year when Moss didn't put up 05 numbers, and Portis got injured, and Lloyd and ARE weren't worthy of a roster spot in any league.

That being said, I do expect Moss to bounce back with a good qb in the pocket, and I expect Portis to put up good numbers too, but both are fragile, so beware. Cooley signed his large contract, so I don't know what to expect. We had him where we wanted him to be primed for a HUGE season, and we let him off the hook and signed him early. He's a great player, don't get me wrong, but it's almost a given that when someone signs a huge contract, they go into preservation mode instead of "i need to kick ass to get a huge contract" mode.
