Nicks is the best receiver on the Giants. I don't think he'll detract too much from Smith when he gets the full time gig but he is going to be very good in the near future. I don't think that this is the year that he does it consistently for the entire season but I think next season we'll be sliding him well up our draft boards. The guy is a playmaker and it's only a matter of time before they have to get him fully on board with the first team and let him explode.

Random Rant
Just catching up on reports after a long day at work... Can't help but wonder...
What's up with Frackin J.J. Arrington. This Dink-basket was drafted as a rookie and dubbed to be a guarnteed high end #2 or low end #1 RB... And he's under performed his whole friggin' career, laying turd after Tird.
Yet this festering heap of severed donkey testicles keeps getting re-signed by some new coach who says "J.J. Arrington is really impressing me."
How the hell are these coaches getting fooled!
You'd think by now someone would have figured out that this Ass badger is milking it. But no... He's always knicked, always dinged, always under performing, always show's promise and farts too much in the locker room!
It's almost like when he was a baby his Dad Hung a poster of Ki-jana Carter over his crib!

Ok so I need some advice. My league is a keeper and ppr league.
QB- Flacco
RB1-SJAX
RB2- Ryan Matthews
Flex- Lesean Mccoy
wr- Colston
wr- Santanna moss
TE- Cooley
Defense- Jets
k- Tynes
Bench RB's- reggie bush, chester taylor
Bench WR's- Demaryius Thomas, Chaz Shillens, Malcom Floyd
Bench QB- Vince Young
How strong is my team, and should I be more worried about getting a second receiver or a better qb?

It really depends on how many teams there are in your league...Originally Posted by wrathbone64
Flacco is great, obv, VY isn't an ideal back-up, just because of the shaky QB situation in Tennessee, but still, not bad. To me your WRs look fairly weak...
Yes Colston can produce big time one week, but like he did to me last season, he just goes AWOL sometimes, because a guy like Brees can spread the ball around to whoever he likes, so he's not a reliable #1 option. Santana Moss as a #2 is a bit of a reach too, I think, even with the addition of McNugget. who are the available free-agents?
RBs have potential, though. Jackson is consistent, despite being on a sh*tty team, Matthews goes straight in as the #1 back in San Diego, although he's definitely not an every-down back. LeSean McCoy has upside, but you have to remember that Andy Reid hates running the football, and so will call about 88 passing plays per game.BRB' Projectile Vomitin'

Your WR are a little weak... Colston is a Low end #1... But Moss is a Mid range #3.Originally Posted by wrathbone64
However all is not lost... Malcom Floyd is on my list of sleeper WR's And keeper wise Demaryius has NICE value for a dyansty.
Over all for a 12 man I think you're doing pretty good.
I wouldn't look "Trade" yet at this point for anything. However, just out of curiosity What do you have in the FA pool at this time?6'4"

Oh yeah, to add to my post, obviously because of the whole Vincent Jackson situation, Malcolm Floyd's value rises, but I'm sure he's on everyone's sleeper list every year! This might be the one.Originally Posted by Nainoa

Of those, I really like Early Doucet, but he's not really a solid #2... Yet. He fits the Boldin mould more than Breaston does, I think, so he'll retain his traditional role, although obviously the loss of Boldin, and more importantly, of Warner hurts that. I'd much rather have him than Schillens, tbh.Originally Posted by wrathbone64
Can't make my mind up about the Giants WRs to make much comment on Manningham, Josh Morgan is an interesting proposition too.BRB' Projectile Vomitin'

Yeah I'd rather have Early Doucet over Schillens... But I'm admitedly jaded about that Raiders passing game as a whole. I just think Early Doucet is going to evolve over the next couple of years into the Next Boldin... While Breaston will just stay Breaston. (At 189 he just doesn't have the physicality to play that outside reciever breaking the jam.)Originally Posted by PotKettleBlack
I'd really like to get into Josh Morgan as well... But I think he's just not going to see the reps after the touches get distributed to Gore, VD and Crabtree.6'4"

Can anyone comment on Eli Manning as a starting QB? I decided to go the early rounds with more top end WR/RBs and after that all the top level QBs were gone. He's obviously got a pretty solid WR trio around him and hopefully their chemistry will only improve from last year.
My league is standard scoring and my backup to Eli is Chad Henne which is a QB I see having quite a bit of upside this season. I guess my main question is, should I be worried with Eli as my QB? Or are most people projecting him to move up in production and be a solid starter this season?
Also, I don't know how much this affects my team, but I also have Steve Smith from the Giants. How much does having a tandem of QB/WR like Smith/Eli affect a team both positively and negatively? I can see the negative in the team having a down week and getting hit twice, but other than that is there any real big downside?

He'll be a good starter. He had a pretty good year last year, but his running backs and defense didn't step it up.Originally Posted by blahblahblahh

Ideally Josh Morgan's value will supposedly fall in the draft, with Ten Ginn coming into the fold there. I mean, we all know he has claws for hands, and couldn't catch a cold, but I'm hoping that it means I can get Morgan as a really late round steal.Originally Posted by Nainoa
I forgot about Jason Campbell being at the Raiders, and whilst he's an upgrade over JaMarcus [who isn't?], I still see the only two potentially viable fantasy options coming out of Oakland this year being Michael Bush and Zach Miller.BRB' Projectile Vomitin'

I think you're just fine with Eli and those WR's... Is he going to single handedly win you a game... No... But he's pretty steady and rarely dizzles one down his leg.Originally Posted by blahblahblahh
At the same time Henne has big sleeper value written all over him with Marshall down there and a dedicated running game and studly line keeping the heat off him.
So While you could be Better... I don't think you have anything to worry about.
*****
In general a QB/WR combo is good if it's from a good team. Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne being the best one. Sam Bradford and Donnie Avery being the worst one.
Eli and SSmith is a nice middle of the road combo... If your league has any PPR then it's probably a really good one!6'4"

Morgan, I cant figure this guy out. I honestly think the only reason he is on the roster is because the Niners dont have a lot of depth at WR. I took a flier on him last season, I got one 9er game in the Mid West, watch this clown half running routes. Completely give up on plays. He cant catch. Im completely baffled that Iron Mike would allow this **** on his team.
Ted Ginn is a coward and well, he runs fast-but only if its in a straight line.
Another- cant believe I am saying this and if I fall on my ass its because I didnt talk some sense into myself before the draft-moment: I like a couple of the Raiduhs this year. Love Michael Bush, wouldnt mind grabbing one of their WRs as my last resort WR. To be honest with you they werent that bad of a team when Fatty didnt play. I kinda kept track of them becuase they were in draft position contention with my ex team, The Browns. the Duhs were pretty solid even with Gradkowski at QB. Great schedule this year too.
I wish teh Texans had more players. Damn their division is weak as hell and all they have to offer is a QB and a WR.

I'm not sure what you mean about the Texans... I think the AFC south is one of the tougher divisions in Football. (Probably only trumped by the AFC North and the NFC East)Originally Posted by dirtdickens
As for the Raiders... I can see M. Bush having a decent year, I'd take him as a Low #3 or a #4 and hope he plays higher than that as the season goes on. I mean they do have a solid O-line and a soft-ish schedule.
My concern is the rest of the team sucks so much that they'll be forced to fall back on the pass too much which will limit his touches etc...6'4"

I agree with you about Bush, just because they're gonna have to look at a more hard-nosed running game, and the fact that however talented Run DMC is, or appears to be, well, you know...Originally Posted by dirtdickens
As for the Texans, at least Schaub has finally completed 16 games, and obviously Andre Johnson is a surefire #1, but yeah, their RB committee is a complete mess. What are your thoughts on Owen Daniels?BRB' Projectile Vomitin'

I wouldn't take OD as a starter... I mean more likely than not he's going to PUP the first 6 games. He'll be an excellent late round value in Dynasty leagues. But TE's and ACL tears are a long combination, due to the more physical nature of the pass catching TE's position.Originally Posted by PotKettleBlack
Pushing off a Linebacker or a chip from a Defensive end is a lot tougher than breaking the jam on a 185 pound corner... Just so then you can run out in traffic and get blasted after you to up for a ball.6'4"

Bush is one of those guys where I think you want to try and pair one of his good matchups with a starters bye week.Originally Posted by PotKettleBlack
For instance if you have Turner, Rice, Forte, Jacobs, McCoy... He's a nice fill in because the Raiders are playing the Seahicks that week.
Or if you have Moreno, S-jax, Gore, CJ... The raiders are playing KC that week.
However I think if you have like CedBen, Beanie Wells, D-will or J-stew... I think Bush is a bad grab because they're playing SF that week.6'4"

07-30-2010, 07:42 AM #145Whats the point? I mean he is coming back from a pretty bad injury, TE is very deep. Daniels was never really a tough guy, I dont know what it is about Wisconsin TEs, but they all blow their knees out, they all get dinged with minor things that hold them out of games.Originally Posted by PotKettleBlack
I guess I would put Daniels as like my #12 TE this year. Even if he comes back, I dont think he ever gets tperfect storm of Andre, Schaub and Daniels healthy at the same time for that long.
TE special, not to be drafted, but he is gonna be a big pick up at some point. Tony Moeki for the Chiefs. Chuck Weis loves TEs and this dude can play. He is pretty injury prone, but he will produce immediately.Last edited by dirtdickens; 07-30-2010 at 07:51 AM.

07-30-2010, 07:45 AM #146Im drafting him as a starter. Got him pegged for the 7th round.

Speaking as a guy who played Semi Pro ball at Defensive end (my main position) and TE (I was the #2)... Tight End is a tough position to play from a durability stand point.Originally Posted by dirtdickens
I went up for a ball one time and got hit so hard by a safety while I was in mid air that I swear I traveled back in time and got man-raped by a T-rex.
I go to bed some nights and I swear I can still feel his shoulder pads going into my ribs!

07-30-2010, 08:25 AM #149Its the difference in league scoring/reqs. I can start at the most 4 WRs and at most I can only start 3 RBs, with respect to the flex positions.Originally Posted by Nainoa
Hoping to pick in the 8-10 range, snag Reggie Wayne in the first(He and AJ are the only ones I really trust for tier 1 WRs) and hopefully someone like DWill is there in the second or I am going after someone like Roddy White.
If all else fails I should be able to at least get PT or someone like that in the 3rd. To be honest, I dont see much of a difference in someone like PT and someone like Jamal Charles, Ryan Grant, SJax. Might as well take a tier 1 WR, a tier 2 WR and then pick from whatever tier 2 RB is still there in the third.
