Beaudry Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Week 1 is easy, start them as you drafted them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie0720 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Solid team. Tons of depth at QB and RB, and you got an elite WR in Chad Johnson, as well as an elite TE in Heap. The Redskins aren't a good fantasy D, so you're middle of the road there. Besides Johnson you have a lot of ?'s at WR. Can Rogers stay healthy? Can Smith keep it up at this age? I like Lee Evans though- a TD machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan080 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I'd start Lee Evans as your second WR. He's going to have a really good year I think, even with a rookie QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gibber Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Keep Johnson and Smith as your week one starters, but Rogers or Evan will probably take over Smith after a couple of weeks. Also, keep checking in on the Bubba Franks situation. He is holding out right now, so he might become worthless. At least he is your back-up.

daveakl Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 eh, your recievers and QB's are not good fantasy QB's in the since they dont put up a lot of yards or TD's a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinzFan007 Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 Thanks guys. I think im gonna start johnson, smith, and evans week 1 but preseason should give me some answers on charles rogers health and how he will do as well as evans.

skinsfan93 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 You may even think about starting Leftwich instead of Brady depending on how your league does QB scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newarkredskinsfan Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I dont really like what you have at QB it could be better but with your rb they will make up for it. i would start johnson and evans at WR, all evans did was score TD and he will only get better.

Bazooka Tooth Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I think you should start them in the order you have right now. You never know with Evans though, he could break out at any second. Both Evans and Colbert need to be watched closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Ahman Green was not a great fantasy back last season either, and TJ Duckett shares time, though he could post the goal line stats. Im weary of your running back corps if Ahman Green cannot be as good as he was 2 seasons ago. At receiver, you may be alright as other than Jimmy Smith, they all are suspected to be rising stars. Chad Johnson start obviously, maybe put Smith as well, and then Im leaning towards Colbert, but we'll see how Rogers works. Im kindda inclined to put Leftwich over Brady, fantasy wise, Leftwich had some good games last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yomar Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Very strong team, weakest link is the QB AND #2WR and when Tom Brady is your weakest link, you are in good shape. The Skins D could be middle of the road, but between Washington and Carolina, you should have a top 5 D. How you got LT and Ahman Green I have no idea, but that is a killer combo. But you should try to improve your #3 RB for byes and because of if one of them gets hurt, that is a big drop off. #2 WR is one of the easier positions to fill since there are always players who have breakout years. I like Colbert and Evans, Jimmy Smith I don't like but he is solid so... Heap is a beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgunner Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I only like Johnson in that squad. However Rojers with some luck and Evans could provide some points. Start those 3. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinzFan007 Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 How can you say you only like Johnson on a squad with LT?? LT is a fantasy machine. Anyway, I really think that Ahman is going to have a really nice year this year. I'm expecting minimum 1500 yards and 10-12 tds. Brady and Leftwich is a tough one. I figure that I will start with Brady and see how Leftwich does but I grabbed him because I think he is the type of guy that could end up producing this year and if so I can always throw him in there. Heap healthy should put up numbers. The WR's are easily the toughest to decide on. Chad Johnson is a freak at wr. Thats a no brainer. With three wr's in detroit its hard to say how the throws will split and if Rogers will stay healthy. Obviously he has a lot of talent but so does roy and mike williams. With Muhamed gone in Carolina Colbert could get some throws his way. He did ok last year with Smith gone and might do better this year. Evans had 9 td's last year and i think will have more this. he is my front runner as number 2 wr followed closely by Jimmy Smith. Jimmy is getting up there in age but he is still Byrons number 1 receiver and he put up good numbers last year. He's solid and I hope he can play well.

Lowghost Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I like your team. I think A Green might struggle some this year. GB's O-line might not be very good this year.:2cents: I like waiting till the end of training camp to draft in FF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
