I think the most unsure position this year is at the receiver spot.I'd like your opinions on some players though for this season and what they're fantasy value is going into the season.1. Randy Moss2. Terrell Owens3. Kerry Collins4. Ricky Williams5. Lamont JordanIf anyone else wants an opinion on any other players, feel free to ask.
1. Randy Moss - 1,500 Yds, 15 TD (Chip on his shoulder with something to prove)2. Terrell Owens - 1,000 Yds, 7 TD (Not happy and I see him playing some games half-assed)3. Kerry Collins - 3,700 Yds, 32 TD, 20 INT. (With Moss/Porter/Curry he will put up numbers, but make his share of costly mistakes)4. Ricky Williams - 350 Yds, 3 TD (Do Not Touch with a 30 Foot Pole, His heart is clearly not in the game)5. Lamont Jordan - 1,100 Yds, 8 TD (Will get 70% of the carries for Oakland, but will be kept well rested)

Bled, please take Ricky Williams...Randy Moss and Terell Owens will be Randy Moss and Terell Owens, arguably the top 2 fantasy wide recievers and in my opinion they are 2 of the 3 most reliable wide recievers (the other was on both fantasy football title teams)...Kerry Collins is a great #2 quarterback on a fantasy team, But I'd be skeptical starting the season with him being my number one guy...he's gonna put up some yards and touchdowns in that offense...and their defense wont take those pass attempts away, so you could see him end up with fantasy starter numbers...but something thats overlooked in fantasy football is consistency...week to week production...Willis McGahee had some HUGE games last season, but he was inconsistent in getting into the end zone on a weekly basis, and I'd much rather have a guy like Domanick Davis who scored in each of the last 11 games last season...guys that you can count on from week to week...with Collin's INT numbers surely to go above 20, I dont think he's that week to week guy you can look at ur QB spot and say, "lets move on" when filling those lineups out each week...LaMont Jordan could surprise...Lets all be weary of this year's Kevan Barlow (a young back that split time and did well performing in garbage time with a good Yards Per Carry who is going to be "the man" this year)....but you just can't assume thats going to happen...I'll tell you something though, The Raiders run in the redzone...and when you combine the numbers from their running back by committee last year---Famous Amos, etc. etc...the end numbers were very good---over 1000 yards and something like 11 touchdowns...not bad production out of say---a late fourth round pick?PEACE

Ricky Williams is still about 20 pounds under his playing weight and will be serving a 4 game suspension, and unless a team is desperate for a runningback he will be sitting behind Ronnie Brown the entire season. It is pretty clear that Ricky's heart is not in what he is doing and I dont think we will ever see that 1800 yard ricky williams again.\Being a Jets fan, I have watched Lamont Jordan play every game of his NFL Career. To me, he is a dominant Runningback in the making and clearly something special. The kid has tremendous size and power and he just knocks the linebackers back a few yards everytime there is contact. He will excell being a starter on his own, but I think the Raiders will be worried about wearing him out and only giving him about 70% of the carries.

I have a question pertaining a fantasy player.Should I pick up Thomas Jones? Cedric is still holding out, and I need a 4th running back (I like to have 4 in case a few get hurt). Opinions?
