Some Monday reading

Why you should avoid drafting players on bad teams. [Bleacher Report]

Here's one blogger who puts Addai, Jackson, LT, and Westbrook on about equal footing as his top-tier RBs. [Fake Teams]

You think you're hardcore into fantasy football? You're not truly hardcore until you can say you've drafted a CFL fantasy football team. [News Talk 650]

Is it possible to draft Tom Brady in the first round and still put together an otherwise-respectable fantasy squad? How about Randy Moss? [K5 Fantasy Football]

Dave over at FF Goat has posted two more offensive line analyses for the AFC East and the AFC West.

Thinking about trying out an auction league this season? Here's how to get started. [Football Jabber]

Umm...on the second link the guy says that LT might be "wearing down" because he was average for the first half the season, then spectacular at the end of the season? Am I crazy or does that not make sense at all?

#2. Brandon, 3 months ago

And on the point of the guy drafting Tom Brady in the first round...there's no way in hell I'm confident going into a season with the following:

QB Tom Brady, RB Laurence Maroney, RB Earnest Graham, WR Torry Holt, WR Jericho Cotchery, WR Kevin Curtis.

Plus he says he was "gobbling up solid wideouts in Jerricho Cotchery and Kevin Curtis", which sounds bad.

Heh, I thought the same thing, on both counts.

Sell High, Buy Low: Trade ideas for Week 6 2008:
- Tim: Just reading this post now and Matt you mentioned my 2 RBs (Jacobs and LT). This is a deeper league (14 teams) where some teams have gaping wholes to fill and my team just so happens to need some quality WR. I agree Turner is emerging into a top 5 monster back, but I'm...
- Matt: If he's going to give you Turner for Jacobs, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Turner's an elite RB so far and I see no reason to believe he won't finish in the top 5 overall at the position. Jacobs' carries in the past three games: 15, 14, 15. Chances are, that's what the Giants...
- Ali: sorry didn't give you the full picture. I have Addai, Jacobs, Forte, Fargas, McClain, and Sproles. I have a guy who might be open to pulling the trigger on Jacobs for Turner, would you do it? or would you rather go with Jacobs for Jackson? thanks guys!
- Brandon: @Ali: You might try to pawn Jacobs for Steven Jackson at this point. While Jackson was probably taken a round ahead of Jacobs in the draft, Jackson only has one touchdown this year and is underperforming. He's gotten plenty of carries over the past two games though and is used in the passing game too...
- Matt: There's no way you'd get Turner for Jacobs. Are you sure you want to trade Jacobs when you only have two other RB?
- Ali: I have Jacobs and I would like to trade him. What do you think about a trade for Turner? He gets more carries than Jacobs. If not turner what other RBs do you think I could get for Jacobs at his level? My other RBs are Forte and Addai
Desperation is a Stinky Cologne: Extreme Sleepers for Week 6 2008:
- SM: Chris Felon Henry.
What's with the green dot on QB helmets?:
- Anonymous: defence capt also has green dot ( # 51 leber -minisota vickings) so not iust qb have one . also you might mean only one player from each team can have a green dot
