<div class="quote_poster">Quoting GatorsowntheNCAA:</div><div class="quote_post">Yeah I really like your 16 team league. I would definetely pick up another RB though. Chester Taylor is one of my biggest RB sleepers. Turner could be a great pick if LT goes down, but LT is normally very durable.</div> Yeah I also like Taylor as a sleeper as well as Michael Clayton, Troy Williamson, and John Kitna and possibly Ronald Curry if he can get healthy (and stay healthy). I do need another RB but theres nothing available in FA or off waivers because the league is so big, have to trade and be creative too because I don't want to trade any starters. I don't take the other team very seriously because all the teams in that league are extremely stacked and no one has even made a trade because they all think they've got the best team in the league.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting RunBJM:</div><div class="quote_post"> QB: Matt Hasselbeck WR: Randy Moss WR: Javon Walker WR: Michael Clayton RB: Shaun Alexander RB: Chester Taylor TE: Tony Gonzalez DEF: Baltimore Bench: John Kitna, Mark Clayton, Ronald Curry, Troy Williamson, Michael Turner</div> You've got way too many back up Wideouts. I'd dump Curry to be honest, Gabriel and even malcontent Porter will steal time from him (Raiders are asking for a 1st round pick for Porter, I doubt he'll get traded, but even if he does, nothing is sure with Curry). Serviceable wideouts appear all the time during the season on Waivers or as FAs. You should get at least one more backup RB. A good rule of thumb is to have at least 4 RBs, although I try to have at least 5. I remember how Mewelde Moore was supposed to be the next big thing, but even when he produced, he didn't score TDs. You should be careful about feeling too content with your sleeper, and go after more RBs (if anything, to at least combat the injury bug).
Me and huevonkiller just made a trade: Kurt Warner and Brandon Lloyd for Cedric Benson I get Benson. Thoughts?
u got ripped, unless you didnt need a qb. Even then he got the better deal. Warner if healthy oculd be a top five qb.
Hey yo, I did you a favor man. I don't think that's a rip at all. Warner is going to get hurt or be out by Mid-Season to be honest. I know you got the better end of that deal, but I have ulterior motives. Lol, enjoy your back.
Backs are much more valuable, and the Job is his for the taking. Warner played this many games in the last four years: 2002: 7 games 2003: 2 games 2004: 10 games 2005: 10 games Age- 35 (he aint getting any tougher/younger) Don't know about you, but he isn't a lock imo. <font color=""Red"">Edit-</font> added info
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheFreshPrince:</div><div class="quote_post">u got ripped, unless you didnt need a qb. Even then he got the better deal. Warner if healthy oculd be a top five qb.</div> I still have Hasselbeck and McNair as my backup QB. Lloyd will probably get 600-800 yards and 6-8 TD's, but he was expendable since I have Holt, Ward, Evans, and Walker. If Benson stays healthy and gets the starters job from week 1, I think he'll put up 800-1000 yards and 5-7 TD's. Pretty good for a 4th RB.
since you have those qb's, then its worth the risk, AND seeing how he is your 4th rb, nevermind, fair trade
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheFreshPrince:</div><div class="quote_post">Benson isnt even a starter yet, plus he is totally unproven</div>That would be where you're wrong. Lovie Smith has already named him the starter and they're currently shopping Thomas Jones.
And if they cant find a taker for thomas they will be splitting carries correct? Plus, he IS totally unproven, he hasnt shown much of anything good at all.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheFreshPrince:</div><div class="quote_post">u got ripped, unless you didnt need a qb. Even then he got the better deal. Warner if healthy oculd be a top five qb.</div> He could be if the line holds up and the Cardinals are winning but if either of those doesnt happen then he'll either get injured/fumble too much or the Cards will begin to start Leinart. Lloyd is ok but he'll probably be the 3rd reciever in Washington so I don't see him putting up very good numbers. He could get traded though or move up the depth chart if he is traded or Randal El is traded for a RB to fill in for Portis if his injury keeps him out. Benson is the starter in Chicago now so he should be good for 1,000+ yards and a good amount of TDs. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">You've got way too many back up Wideouts.

Now it seems like hes not making much progress and I've already got Mark Clayton and just got Troy Williamson (who could be a #1 reciever with Robinson arrested and possibly suspended). Also agreed about the RB depth. I do need at least one more good RB but I've got limited resources to get it via trade and nothing is available in free agency or waivers.

And just cause he's unproven doesn't mean jack. Everybody comes in to the league unproven. It's not his fault he hasn't been given a chance yet.
One was a 12 team. the rest are 10. JBB was a 8 man league. I dont know why that was... I tried to set up a custom 16 team league but it was too hard to fill.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Team 1 is stacked. Although I am not feeling Droughns, nor Ahman Green. You might want to think about better back up RBs, you have to solidify depth there. Also get rid of Brunell, you don't need three QBs (I'm assuming you are using default yahoo rules...) Lol, nice job overall with Team 1, the only issue is if your starting RBs get injured, which might happen to Dillon. <font color="Red">Edit- </font>I usually try to get LM whenever I draft Dillon</div>. Im hanging on to the QB's for a trade. There are at least two teams with very weak QB's that have a RB that I want.. Im just waiting for the right time to make the offer so they will bite!

We just signed them both, we are keeping both. We have a very good backup back in Ladell Betts and after that we have Rock Cartwright, who started for us a couple of seasons ago. We don't need another back.
Me and TheFreshPrince just traded Reggie Brown, for Mike Bell (with me acquiring Mike Bell). I already had Reggie Wayne, Terry Glenn, and Keyshawn. I assume I'd take a risk on a back.
You were right RUN BMJ about us getting Duckett. It was a very surprising and dumb trade for the Skins IMO, but I knew we wouldn't deal Randle El or Lloyd.
