gore will outproduce barlow 2 to 1, but you might want to keep him in case another rb goes down with injuries, also if chester taylor is available in your league grab him instead of barlow, he's the vikings #1 and wont split carries... chances are he will be available, hes flying under the radar
My draft is Tuesday! Putting money on the league for the first time.
Smith and Witten will be a nice rotation based on what D they are going against. In my league you can play a WR or TE, but since receptions are worth a point, I figure TE is the way to go.Quote:

just wait till after week 2, Gore will produce - believe that, he's the undisputed #1 in san fran and was well on his way to taking that job before barlow even knew where new york was on the map - if you combine barlow's numbers with gore's from last year you get 1189 yards and 6 scores... he will atleast put that up and if you want to trade him someone will take him.
While on the one hand, I see your point, on the other hand, let's face it, being #1 in San Fran doesn't really hold much weight after the last few seasons.Quote:

Didnt they lose Brandon Lloyd also? Don't know if it was due to free agency or trade.
I am actually somewhat timid on picking peyton manning this year (fantasy league). Without a dominate RB, defenses will focus more on the pass and be ready.
On the other hand, keep your eye out on Daunte. He is going to be my sleeper. Dude looked like a beast during the preseason (so did joey harrington ironically). HAHA Detroit(pac10 fan here) :p . Miami always had WR's, but this year they got someone who can throw the long ball.
yeah they traded him for a 3rd rnd pick and a 4th in next years draft, hes not that good anyway...
Peyton - he has rhodes and addai, i'm not at all worried about it, when he went for the record for TD's in a season they knew he was going to pass a lot and still couldnt stop him, he's the best QB in the NFL right now - i wouldn't worry a bit.
he's a middle 2nd/early 3rd rnd pick though - some guy grabbed him with the #2 pick in the 1st round of our draft - goon! that left me to choose between LT and shaun alexander, I grabbed LT.
Cant go wrong with either of them. If anything, LT is a little more consistent than Alexander. It seems that Alexander was only good because of contract years. 2 years ago, he had a record to go for and he was at the end of his contract. IIRC, they signed a 1 year deal (last year). Now they locked him for x amount for y amount of years.
Plus the superbowl runner up usually sucks the following year. Seattle still looks solid though.
I'd still like to see Harrington put a successful career together, I guess because he's a northwest kid.Quote:

:D Well, he should start small, of course.Quote:
