    I would start Cotchery instead of starting two Redskin receivers.

    If you get points per reception, I would go with Driver over Williams. Deangelo shares carries with Jonathan Stewart, who gets the goal line work. I don't blame you guys for dropping Kitna. Between his injury, poor play and bad team, he's not a very good option for the rest of the season...

    Well, I am 2-0 in my dynasty league, but 0-2 in my money re-draft league, due mostly to the complete lack of support from my first three picks -- LT, Colston and MJD. My redraft needed some help, so I made a trade this morning. I traded MJD and Coles for Braylon Edwards and Sammy Morris. The...

    I know Jackson and Palmer look bad right now, but I would pull the trigger on that one. Jacksonville's offensive line is banged up, and Jones-Drew also hurt his ankle on Sunday. Cincy looks bad, but Palmer's a good QB, so you should expect him to do better as the season goes on. The Bengals are...

    I would definitely grab Sproles, Alex. I tried to trade for him (he was drafted in my money league), but the other owner wants to hang onto him with LT's injury. I'm really hurting right now with LT limited, Colston out, and Jones-Drew banged up. That's my top 3 draft picks! I own Coles and...

    That's a tough one. Normally I'd go with Williams, but Ronnie Brown looked good last week for Miami. He appears healthier than expected. Since the Jags have been hurt on the OL, though, and are playing a tough Buffalo defense I'd probably still go with "Smokin' Ricky".

    I ended up with Fasano and David Patten on my waiver wire picks. I just lost Colston for 4-6 weeks, so I won't dump Meacham until I see if he'll get some playing time with Colston out. My receivers are looking very ugly right now -- Roddy White, Coles, Ginn, Patten and Meacham. I may be starting...

    Alex, Norwood would be a nice pickup, IMO. Running backs are hard to find on the waiver wire. The best available on ours is Sammy Morris.

    That is a tough one. Both QB's are going against tough secondaries. Green Bay has probably the best pair of cover cornerbacks in the league. However, the Bengals offense looks dreadful right now. At least the Lions still seem to be able to pass the ball. I would lean the same way as Aaron and go...

    Well, I went 1-1 this past weekend, losing by 2 points in my money league and winning big in my dynasty league. As a result of my poor showing in the money league, I have the #2 waiver wire pick this week. The guy with the #1 pick is taking Matt Cassels. I need help at receiver, and am...

    I see that Laverneous Coles is questionable for today's game. That makes Roddy White my default 3rd flex starter. That was easy.

    Alex, nobody should have ridiculed you for taking Rice. He looked good in the preseason, and with McGahee having recent knee surgery Rice should be drafted in almost every league.

    Don't over-think your lineup, Aaron. Owens, Andre Johnson and Houshman should all be every week starters, barring injury or byes. I'd love to have those three receivers on my roster.

    I have not been impressed with Detroit's running game -- the offensive line couldn't block a group of senior citizens. If McGahee is out, I'd roll the dice with Rice over Smith.

    You guys taking all the Lions will be doomed. :laugh: Brandon, I like your money league team. You're a little thin at WR after your top two guys (Engram is hurt), but if that's the biggest criticism, you're in good shape. Since you have Edge, you may want to see if Tim Hightower is available...

    Chris, I like your first four picks. You may have taken Warner too high in the 5th round, though. Also, in case you didn't know, James Jones is injured and expected to miss a few weeks.

    I just completed the first round of the "rookie" draft for my dynasty league / salary cap team. I had the #1 and #3 overall picks and took McFadden and Jonathan Stewart. I'm finally getting this team competitive after a couple of down years. My team: QB: Brees, Schaub, Trent Edwards RB...

    I like Delhomme and Calvin (although Johnson went very high in our draft), but am not that big on Perry, even with Rudi Johnson getting cut. Perry has a lot going against him: (1) he's been hurt every year, (2) the Bengals offense scares me this year, and (3) he's a former Michigan RB -- and...

    If you waited until your 6th pick, then Anderson wasn't a bad choice to roll the dice with. I think he'll be a "boom or bust" pick. I had him on my "do not draft" list, but probably would still have taken a chance if he fell far enough. My initial plan was to take Brees at 3.01, since all the...

    Chris, either Grant or Jacobs should be available at #14 if your draft goes anything like ours did. Usually only two guys jump on a QB early, but this year four were gone before my 2nd round pick. Just to give you an idea of how it could go, here are the first two rounds of our draft. It's a PPR...

    Chris, Your best bets at #14 will probably be Ryan Grant, Brandon Jacobs, Jamal Lewis, Jones-Drew or Bush -- the latter two only if you get points per reception. If you are lucky, a couple receivers and QBs may go ahead of you so that someone better falls to you. I'd avoid McGahee -- his...

    I plan on trying that after the first couple of weeks. Owners in this league never want to trade before the season starts -- they always want to see how their picks start out. The owner who took Sproles is stacked at WR and very weak at RB, so I plan on approaching him and maybe getting LT's...
