Heh, I was offered a trade (I give McGahee and get Mason). I may do it b/c I'm thin at WR.

I missed my draft due to weather, but the auto picker got me enough to win in the 1st week. Of course I scored the lowest amount of points of the winners :(

Stallworth was key for me and so is coles.

I have E james and Lamon Jordan. Need a better backfield, big effing surprise.

QB M. Hasselbeck (0TD)
WR L. Fitzgerald (0TD - ton of yards)
WR C. Chambers (0TD)
WR R. Brown (Benched Wk1
RB S. Jackson (0TD - ton of yards)
RB D. Foster (0TD)
TE A. Crumpler (1TD)
BN T. Jones (0TD)
BN L. Jordan :|
BN J. Galloway :|
BN Ro. Williams (0TD)
BN A. Johnson (0TD)
BN K. Warner Just got him

:(

I thought I drafted really well at #5 in an 8 team league. Then Chrissy Simms killed me by giving Galloway 0 rec. and the Bal defense 3 (25 pts. total).

What should I do?

Also, Joey Galloway@ATL or Rod Smith@KC? Galloway killed me last week with the goose egg, but Smith didn't exactly light it up either.

I'm not looking at the schedule right now so you may have the other games listed incorrectly, but KC plays in Denver, not vice versa.

Anyway, I believe Benson looked like he was ready to shoulder a bigger load this past weekend so Thomas Jones is going to be splitting time. I'd go with Portis, regardless.

Galloway v. Smith is tough, but I think Tampa Bay could be looking at a long season and losing more games means they'll be passing more. My Chiefs appear to actually have a competent secondary this year anchored by Law & Surtain so Rod Smith may not kill us this year. So I'd start Galloway.

I had Cooley as well. Very disappointed in him. I should have started Heath Miller.

Here's my team

QB M. Hasselbeck
WR Ro. Smith
RB L. Tomlinson
RB B. Westbrook
TE A. Gates
RB F. Taylor
BN D. Bledsoe
BN L. Maroney
BN L. Coles
BN D. Branch
K J. Feely
DEF Indianapolis

Hasselback sucked for me too - but my running backs picked me up. I was thinking of picking up the SD defense after that monday night performace. Are they for real or do the Raiders just suck!?

i'd say it was a lil of both...Charger D being good and the Raiders just plain sucking...

Last year SD had the #1 Run defense. So that is a plus. But, Oakland is rather sucktastic...so it's not a good gauge to actual defensive ability.

SD's def is good...however they play in a high scoring AFC West...I wouldn't start them against the Broncos or the Chiefs when they're healthy....

Yeah it's soooo tempting when they get 9 sacks - Merriman is a monster, imagine if they had Foley. Also I noticed my recievers were pretty weak - any sleepers out there?

Antonio Bryant (SF) may be a good sleeper if SF can muster up any semblance of an offense.

I was 3-2 in my leagues. I had one dominant performance, 2 middle of the road, and 2 so-so. But I am getting several injured players back this week on my 2 losers so things are looking up.
