Thanks guys
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

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!

Overkill at QB, I would definitely trade one.

Re: 2011 Fantasy Football Thread

I was picking 11th and I was worried about the talent getting snatched up before I got back around so I took the extra QB mainly for trade purposes. It's a 1 QB league. I left a lot of great players on the board by the way but picking 11th I was too worried about losing out.

I think if you're in a four team league, your RB situation is kind of light.

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

Rob them, seriously? He said they only start one QB so while he has a great back up there NEITHER of his running backs are great fantasy starters. And his receivers are okay, but don't look like anything special.

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.

I may have overrated his receivers on first glance. But that still looks like a strong, high-upside group to me.
