Any suggestions of roster moves I should make? Or any players that I should potentially drop and find someone on waivers for the coming weeks?

Pick up a better Running Back maybe a glen coffie, cedric benson or Tarshard Choice.

Current WRs: Steve Smith (CAR), Roy Williams, Devin Hester, and Steve Smith (NYG)

Get Burleson, he’s a big time sleeper, he could end up being the #1 for Seattle by the end of the year, Get Clayton too if there’s room on your bench, stay away from Royal and Bennett until Kyle Orton and Jay Cutler prove they don’t totally suck

Wow…umm your not joking that is a mess.

Your best offensive option is a WR…

I give it a 2. I see some upside in Betts overcoming Portis about week 5. James will lose his fantasy value because of Shipp. Gonzalez has nobody to throw to him..

What happened? I really hope its a 20 team league, and you picked last. I’m sorry dude…I can’t even be this mean.

Good luck!!

Last year, the Ravens ranked near among the best at not allowing sacks, along with teams such as Washington, Indy, San Diego, and St. Louis that all had excellent running games, but Jamal Lewis’s ineptitude cost them a running game.

Steve McNair was traded for after OTAs and didn’t even know the playbook last year. He threw 16 TDs in 15 games (was knocked out in the first 5 minutes of 2 others), while Kyle Boller, not a great QB by any standard, threw 5 in 2 games.

Consider the WR corps. Mark Clayton is a breakaway threat whose first 2 seasons are very similar to Chad Johnson’s. Derrick Mason is one of the best possession WRs in the NFL. Reports out of OTAs suggest that WR3 Demetrius Williams is the best of the group. They also have Todd Heap, who is one of the elite TEs in the NFL.

To be continued with more details…
Then there’s Willis McGahee. He believes he’s in the best shape he’s been in since he left college. He’s had none of the attitude problems that haunted him in Buffalo. He’s even been hanging out with Ed Reed, his college teammate, and Rey Lewis and is wearing the defense’s black visor. He appears to be bringing the defense’s attitude to the offense.

Don’t the Ravens look like a breakout offense going into this season? With the defense they’ve got, they could be unbeatable if they could just score points. They did lose 3 games last year by the scores of 13-3, 13-7, and 15-6 last year (they only lost one game in which they allowed over 20 points and McNair had a concussion and Boller failed in a last minute comeback attempt).

You’re obviously looking for a "yes" answer, but despite my hatred of sounding like a suckup I’d have to admit that they are headed in that direction. I wonder if the Ravens will pull off a "win one for Jonny Ogden" campaign like the Steelers did for Jerome Bettis. Maybe if Ray Lewis announces he will be retiring… But either way McGahee, McNair, Clayton, Mason, and great O-Line and Brian Billick calling the plays (instead of Fassel) sounds like a potent combination to me.

Ok this is what i have

RBs- Brian Westbrook (Definate Start), Chester Taylor (Top RB2 candidate), Edgerrin James, Maurice Morris
WRs- Andre Johnson (Thinkin definate start), Brandon Marshall, Steve Smith (Benching), Mark Clayton

I need to start 2 WRs and 2 RBs, I think I’m set on running back, but WR I really dont know who to start as WR2, any opinions?

I think you have the answer in your post. I would definitely stay away from Steve Smith this week. (Personally, I think he is the best WR of any WR but I don’t care who is QB for Car this week going up against Al Harris of GB) He has a knack of shutting down top WRs. Maybe not a knack, more of a, getting in their face off the line…. along with CW. So, Marshall for sure. He is hot ever since Javon has been out.

Chester should have a great game. First, he is on his final year of contract, so he needs to show case. Not to mention, he had 1400+ yards rushing last year. He is a MUST start.

Which Giants receiver should I draft? Mario Manningham or Steve Smith? They are both available, but I’m not sure who will benefit my team the most.

Also, who should I drop in order to pick one of them up? Here is my current roster:

QB: Phillip Rivers, Byron Leftwich
RB: Clinton Portis, Julius Jones, Jamal Lewis
WR: Marques Colston, Michael Clayton, Dwayne Bowe, Steve Breaston, Josh Morgan
TE: Chris Cooley, Tony Scheffler
K: Ryan Longwell, Mason Crosby
D/ST: Steelers, Seahawks

i would pickup smith. eli goes his way more. he will get more catches which should lead to more points as the year progresses.

QB Marc Bulger
QB Jay Cutler
WR Torry Holt
WR Marques Colston
WR Reggie Brown
RB Brian Westbrook
RB Rudi Johnson
TE Vernon Davis
TE Benjamin Watson
BN Carnell Williams
BN Steve McNair
BN MARK CLAYTON WR
BN DESHAUN FOSTER
BN BOBBY WADE
K JEFF WILKINS AND STEPHEN GOSTKOWSKI
DEF DENVER AND NEW YORK JETS

Your loaded… You must have picked around 8th to 10th and had things break very well for you.

You have 2 sleepers at TE so watch them closely. They are either great or you need to adjust there. other then that. I’d just suggest that you watch the waiver wire for upgrades on your bench as there always seems to be a decent player available…

QB- Bulger, Delhomme
RB-Alexander, Green, Carnell Williams
WR-Clayton, Cotchery, Owens, Steve Smith
TE-LJ Smith, Randy McMichael
K-Gould
DEF- Panthers

Your RB’s are going to make or break you. If Alexander can come back to vintage Alexander and Green and Williams can stay on the field, you have a decent team (top 4). Otherwise you’ll be in the bottom half of your league.

Heres my team. (* = bench currently)

They’re all playing Sunday so what are your opinions of who I should start?

haha this is funny we pretty much have the same exact fantasy football team. it looks like you pretty much hit the nail on the head on sit or start. you have the perfect amount of big names, and they are so much better than the guys you are benching.

qb – kitna goes over mcnair anyway, but even moreso because mcnair is injured
rb – Lt is a given any week, and mcgahee is clearly better than jerious norwood, and norwood is with a weak team and possibly split carries
wr – all 3 wr’s absolutely exploded last week, why not give them another go this week.
te – sure, tony gonzalez sucked last week, but he is still better than 95% of te’s in the league. gotta stick with the proven vet.

def – im not sure if you are starting 1 or 2 defenses, but if you are starting 1, go with dallas. i have them, and they choked in week 1. but they are the highest payed defense in football…they gotta produce.
