edit this to include only the lingerie bowl pic please....

Watching tonight's Falcons vs. Patriots game, it is official....The Falcons have no defense.

Anyone here doing fantasy football this year?


If so, who would you take if you had the #1 overall pick (assuming standard scoring)?

If NE can put up 120 yds rushing, then your defense is in trouble...

I am in CBS fantasy league...my draft is tonight.

I would take Chris Johnson with #1 pick. I have the #2 pick and I am leaning towards Adrian Peterson if Johnson is not available. 1st round picks are always difficult for me....

Who would you take RoamingOrator?

Peterson. I love the Vikings O-Line, and now that Favre is back, Peterson looks poised to have a great year.

i'm in yahoo's fantasy league.
i took romo as number 1

Look for LT to have a strong first 5 games but tail off with either a hamstring injury or an ankle injury. He's also going to be terrible once it gets chilly....SD weather treated him nicely along with another future HOF in Lorenzo Neal

Matthews looked great in his first preseason game and the way he plowed through the bears linebackers...... i'm pretty excited :D

Look for Rivers to have another Dan Fouts like performance yet the media and their east coast biased still consider him not as amazing as Eli, Romo, and even big Ben...

I don't have faith in Oaklands offense but look for their defense to be somewhat of a force (as much as i hate to say it)

The Skins will be ok with Mcnabb holding the rock

oh, and everyones expecting San Diego to have a down year but you heard it here first...they'll win the division and go into the playoffs as superbowl favorites to blow it with another poor performance from their kicker...Damn you Kaeding damn you...

I take it you are a Bolts fan...

I agree that they should win the division. The AFC will be loaded this year and the playoffs will be very competative.

Good picks and hope the Chargers do well...

Put Rivers at QB for the Cowboys, he would suck. Why? Wade Phillips.

Oh let me guess. Brett Favre throws an interception at the end of the game right?

I hear that pipe dream every day

I think I'd go with AP. CJ2K had one stat last year that really bothered me, 458 touches. He's young and in great shape, but the majority of backs that hit the 400 touch mark end up on IR the next season. Michael Turner is the most recent example I can think of, but Larry Johnson and Marshall Faulk were on that list as well.

AP came in second in touches last season with 372. That's a big difference for a back. They say that the average running back gets hit about 6 times before he's tackled. So when you multiply it out, that's a lot of hits. It makes me nervous about taking a player that took that much abuse.

Also, they worked pretty hard on making sure AP will decrease his fumbles. He seemed to be a bigger part of the passing game last year, and with Chester Taylor gone, will probably have a larger roll this year.

My league hasn't drafted yet though. I like to wait until after the third preseason game, just in case of injury.

I took AP...but not real happy with my draft. I give myself a B-

My draft:

QB's---Tom Brady, Carson Palmer
RB's--A.Peterson, DeShon McCoy, Reggie Bush, Rickey Williams, Fred Taylor
WR--Ochocinco, Pierre Garcon, Devin Hester, Donald Royal
TE---Gates
K---Vinitiari
D---Chargers

We can play 1 QB, 2RB, WR, 1Flex, TE, D, K per week head to head league. I feel I am weak at WR and vulnerable at RB.

I keep hearing Pierre Garcon will have a better season that Reggie Wayne, so that is why I took him a little early. I took Hester because I figured Mike Martz will throw the ball all over the field and try to get Hester the ball as much as possible. Royal is the #1 receiver in Denver now even though he sucked last year.

I figured McCoy will be like Brian Westbrook and get a gazillion touches per game especially with the new QB Kolb. My 3 other RB's were the best available so I had no choice.

Just feel like I kind of messed up. If I had to do it again I would have drafted another RB with my 2nd pick instead of Brady. Trying to trade Palmer but everyone has a good QB so it will be difficult.

mbcasey...Looking at your draft, the one guy who I feel will be a surprise for you will be McCoy. When the Eagles drafted him last year, I knew that Westbrook's days in Philly were numbered. I have always been high on McCoy, even since his days at Pitt. Having him and AP makes for a geat backfield, and you have Brady at QB. I believe Brady is going to put up great numbers this year. If you have watched him in pre-season, he looks like a man on a mission. Plus, the weapons he has around him means that he will produce. Oh, and don't rule out a solid year for Reggie Bush. He is a threat and accoriding to Payton, the Saints will utilize him more.

Thank Goofball...I feel better about my draft now...

You have the "flex" position in your league, and when looking at the RB's you have, you do have a good collection. Rickey Williams will get touches and score TD's. And don't sleep on Fred Taylor either. He is looking good in the pre-season. Guy still has it. I too like Donald Royal, but I worry how effective the Broncos offense will be. Still, Royal does look poised to have a good season. I think you should keep Palmer. Having two good QB's is a good thing. If Palmet and Brady are playing lights out early on, you could work out a good trade if someone in your league needs better QB play. So, I would hold onto Palmer.

MB, looking over your draft, I think you did okay. You might be week at receiver, but it's a deep position (in most leagues) and there is always waiver wire talent. McCoy and AP should solidify your team though, and Brady looks ready to have a contract year showing. You can never go wrong with Gates, he scores like a receiver and you'll be gaining an extra 4-5 points a week your opponents won't be able to make up at the position. Chargers D is a good value for division games alone.

I've got to disagree with Goof about Reggie Bush, his name is bigger than his numbers reflect, but he's on a really good team. If your league gives you points for PRs and PRTDs you'll get better value from him. Me personally, I'd have him on the trading block already.

QB-T Romo,(Dal) T Sanchez (NYJ)
RB-F. Jones,(Dal) D. McCluster,(KC) L. Maroney (NE)
WR D. Bryant,(dal) M. Austin,(Dal) M. Crabtree,(SF) A. bryant.(cin) M. Manningham (NYG)
TE O. Daniels,(Hou) J. Shockey.(NO)
DEF. N.O.

Let me guess... Dallas fan?

Well, I think Romo will perform, so will Austin. I'd dump Shockey, there are too many targets in NO and he's a consistent nonentity. I liked the Crabtree grab, nice sleeper Maroney did well for me last year too. Daniels is a great snag as Houston is all air attack. I don't know about McCluster. I haven't seen anything out of the KC line that makes me think they'll open any holes for anything but the defense they're opposing, however they play Oakland, Denver, St. Louis and Seattle this year if I remember right.

All in all though, I think you've got some starting line up potential. You should have a competitive season. I think you might have too many eggs in one basket. If Dallas has an off game, so will you, but what do I know?

If you are in a fantasy football league, please post your draft results here.

Thanks and good luck this season....
