Alright, so this year is the first year I'm playing fantasy football. I've only been really into it for 3 seasons (this=4th season) and I've always been too busy to play. Anywho, I put together my player rankings...what do ya think? Criticize away, I'm sure I forgot a player or put some guys rated too high or too low or whatever.I'm also open to any suggestions, comments, etc as far as draft strategy goes. When to draft what and things of that nature.edit: league is on Yahoo & draft is Tuesday night @ 9:30My QB rankings1. Peyton Manning2. Tom Brady3. Carson Palmer4. Matt Hasselbeck5. Trent Green6.

QB'sLower Trent Green (Herm Edwards is in the process of handcuffing their explosive offense. No way in hell he gets 4000 yards this season)Higher Eli Manning and Donovan McNabb (Since when do the Eagles run, expect McNabb to get well over 500 attempts, not to mention the threat to run for a few yards, and Eli despite throwing for a poor completion percenatage put up 3700 yds and 24 TD's, as he progresses and gets better those numbers are only going to go up.RB'sThey're about right. Personally I like Alexander in the top 3, but some people think hes 'cursed' and id lower Dominick Davis because hes never stayed healthy through the full season to put up the stats we all think hes capable of. Westbrook, Parker, McGahee are better options IMO. WR's A little high on Chambers. He is a rather inconsistant player and I dont see Culpepper changing that. Id put him around 13-14 and bump the rest up a spot.TE'sAround 9 or 10 Id start looking for either Kellen Winslow Jr or Ben Watson (NE) instead of Troupe or Miller personally. I expect them to have a breakout season. Although take a backup soon if you take Winslow since he isnt very durable. K'sI dont like Tynes because I dont trust a Herm Edwards led offense. Just look at last preseason game, they didnt get past the 40 yard line unil the 4th quarter. DEFI dont like the Giants defense simply because I dont trust their secondary yet. They will get a ton of sacks, but a safer bet IMO would be Atlanta with Abraham and Kerney while haveing D-Hall, Milloy, ect in the secondary.
WR: Drop Randy Moss to 9, move everyone else up 1 spot. Then switch Torry Holt and Steve Smith.QB: Move Plummer up 2 spots, drop Warner out of your top 15.RB: Drop Dom Davis out of your top 20, move Mike Bell to 15th, adjust accordinglyTE: Randy McMichael at 3, move everyone else down.K: Don't matter. Rackers is overrated.D: Move Baltimore to 4, and Cincinnati to 10, Adjust accordingly.

You need help there.
Yeah, I think WR was the area I kinda sacrificed in to get my #1 RB (retooled my rankings, hard to go against that many TDs), TE, & K & #2 QB.

1st teamdropped: Tynes & Vikingsadded: Antonio Bryant, Wali Lundy2nd teamdropped: Mike Belladded: Wali Lundy
Trent Green going down really screwed me. Zero points for him this week, his INT canceled out his yardage. Larry Johnson didn't get much because the Chiefs were playing catchup.I've been debating what to do with my 2nd team's QB situation. I decided to drop a position player since I have some extra WRs.Drop: KennisonAdd: McNair
