You have some of the players I drafted yesterday, too.

Here's my team from yesterday's draft from one of my FF team. My RBs need some help, but I think my WR is the strength of my team.

QB Peyton Manning, IND
RB Reggie Bush, NO
RB Brian Westbrook, PHI
WR Larry Fitzgerald, AZ
WR Reggie Wayne, IND
WR Hines Ward, Pitt
TE Dallas Clark, IND
DEF NY Jets
K Akers, PHI

BENCH:
Coles, WR, CIN
Crayton, WR, DAL
Hightower, RB, AZ
E. Manning, QB, NYG
Mendenhall, RB, Pitt
Z. Miller, TE, OAK
F. Taylor, RB, NE

What are you talking about!? Westbrook and Bush score loads of points! I had Westbrook last year. He is ranked in like the top 5. Bush will score points because of all of yards from kick returns as well. I actually think your backs are your strength. Larry Fitzgerald is solid, but the other 2 will be up and down all year. Hines ward is on his way out and Harrison, Gonzalez, and Clark will take touches away from Wayne.

the thing with westbrook was that he was philly's main option last year. he was their main option in running plays (duh), and also was a leader in receptions last year. that's where his points came from.

this year is desean jackson's second year. last year, he showed he was a legit threat at wide receiver and because of that, will get more balls thrown his way this season. lesean (shady) mccoy has also been performing very well in the preseason and looks like he can spell westbrook... taking away touches.

add that to philly getting michael vick and how they love to spread the ball... and yeah... having westbrook this year is more of an uncertainty. westbrook will still be a main weapon, but with how philly's offense has shaped up, a LOT of pressure to carry the offense with mcnabb has been taken off of him. it's great for the player, not for the fantasy football players who drafted him.

will he produce? oh heck yeah... as much as the previous years? well, given all the weapons philly now has on offense, that remains to be seen. :)

Harrison doesnt even play anymore, Ward is being touted to have a monster year coming across the middle now that Limas Sweed is the deep guy and Santonio holmes is more of a down the field guy too. Reggie bush hasnt been a fantasy stud and wont be...Westbrook is a stud...

My league for this Sunday's draft has 10 teams, also.

Who are you hoping for 20 TDs? And DeAngelo Williams might eat into Stewart's playing time in Carolina.

i want lt to get 20... and yeah, i had dwill on my team last year. he was a big reason for my success and for me winning the title last year.

LT wont get 20 this year.....maybe 15 max....

with how teams like to run the wildcat and use trick plays, i can see him running it in for around 15 and probably passing it for a couple too. which is why i guessed 20. i think the year he broke the record, some of the touchdowns were passing touchdowns... or were they all rushing touchdowns? either way, i just want my runningbacks to coverup what could be a problem at wide receiver. :lol:

yup with him, mcnabb, vick, desean, kevin curtis, and maclin all on the field at the same time... defenses won't know what to do. that's a LOT of people you have to cover. and any one of them could get the ball and be dangerous with it.

this is why i'd be a cautious happy with westbrook on my fantasy roster. philly has ALWAYS loved spreading the ball... even with westbrook as their only legitimate weapon, they still got the ball close to 7-9 different people a game. now that they know they have more weapons, westbrook's role may diminish as the burden on him to carry the offense is lessened.

You're on crack! Before Bush got hurt last year he was scoring fantasy points like a madman. Hines Ward sucks and won't do **** this year. I know you are a pitt fan, so sorry to put your man down,lol

You have your opinion and I have mine......

ESPN Reggie Bush Write Up: Predicted to get 137 points
Bush has never topped 4.0 yards per carry in a season, his receptions and touchdowns have declined each of the past two seasons, and he missed six games last year because of leg injuries. He had in-season knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus in '08, then had microfracture surgery this winter. Bush also must deal with Pierre Thomas, who was clearly the better every-down back last year. If his knees are healthy, we expect to see Bush as a third-down back and slot receiver this year, which makes him a valuable real-life piece in a high-octane offense, but hardly someone you can rely on every week in fantasy.

I specifically avoided Reggie because he is not consistent. He may have a big game but not every week. There are better guys available. I wont argue with Westbrook though. Devin Hester is similar to Reggie. They may score 30 points one week then three weeks of nothing....

I enjoy sports talk. I wont get mad unless you tell me the CHargers deserve to get a new stadium because of how good they are......LOL

My main concern with Westbrook and Bush is their injury. Westbrook have leg problem and is limiting him in the pre-season and they are still not certain with the injury. Bush just had knee surgery in the off season and is bother by an ankle problem. He hasn't played the whole preseason. Pierre Thomas may be taking his playing time too.

Ward is my flex player, so if he is non productive, I'll switch him out. I have Crayton, Hightower, Mendanhall to put in his place if necessary. But Wayne will be productive now that Harrison is gone. He'll lose some touches to Clark and Gonzalez, but Manning will look for Wayne more now that Harrison is out. Fitzgerald, well...he's the man.
