This is taking into acobrocoli "YPC Against", as that is the most accurate assement for how good a defense truly is against the run. W6 - San Diego [3.4 YPC] W7 - Bye Week W8 - Chicago [3.9 YPC] W9 - Minnesota [3.2 YPC] W10 - Detroit [3.3 YPC] W11 - Seattle [3.5 YPC] W12 - St Louis [4.5 YPC] W13 - New Orleans [4.9 YPC] W14 - Green Bay [3.7 YPC] W15 - Seattle [3.5 YPC] W16 - Arizona [4.3 YPC] So we can see there is three easy games left for Gore. Combine that with a history of injuries, I think this is time to sell high on Gore. His value is never going to be higher, and he hasn't exactly been ripping off big games against good defenses. I am a Gore owner, and I will try to deal him for good value.

Atlanta, Philadelphia, Seattle.

I am watching NFL Total Access, according to Jim Mora, Dunn will get the first crack at the goal line role. Remember in '04 he had 9-Touchdowns.

You're assuming Vick and the Falcons will remain in the conservative, run first offense. Which, according to everyone on the team itself, is not going to happen. Mora himself has said, they're incorperating shotgun spread formations to fit the talent on the offense. The vertical offense, with Vick's arm, Lelie, Jenkins and White's speed. Back to the kind of attack, Vick excelled at in '02.

Reche Caldwell, Brady has to throw to someone. People forget that Caldwell was putting up a great season in San Diego before his injury in '04. I think he can get back to that, and is exponentially out-perform the 64th ADP. Seriously, Sinorice Moss, Keary Colbert and Charles Rogers are going ahead of New England number one WR?!

Winners: Michael Vick - He now has four legitimate Receivers, counting Crumpler. Unheard of in previous seasons, unless you value the elite receiver tandem of Peerless Price and Dez White. Plus he should get more goal line TDs with no Duckett. According to the Falcons coaching staff, expect a lot more Shotgun formations and 3-WR sets, a lot more aggressive. So more pass attempts are a given. I think he will get back to his '02 Fantasy status. Losers: About everyone else. Lelie, Jenkins, White and Crumpler will all divide the targets to evenly to be great fantasy options. Duckett doesn't improve, because, barring injury he has the same role. But by far, the train wreck of a fantasy stock is without a doubt Clinton Portis. Does this signal that he's more hurt then the Skins have let on? Will Duckett vulture all the Touchdowns? Will the Skins cut their losses and shut Clinton down and fix this issue? Because it just isn't something that goes away. The fact that the Skins paid such a high price seems to signal yes on all fronts.

That's rich..

When, not if, Chris Brown gets injured, LenDale will be a stud. Especially since he's already going to be the Goal-Line guy.

He's like Michael Vick, in my opinion, you have to hope he'll become more consistent next year becaus of his elite potential. I think Eli will, he has a lot of good options in the passing game and a good O-Line. That said, their schedule is BRUTAL.

Chris Chambers

Of my 1st round options; the following are available, i.e not being kept. RB Shaun Alexander (this owner had LJ as well, except with a lot better value) Edgerrin James Willis McGahee Domanick Davis Reggie Bush Kevin Jones Chester Taylor WR Terrell Owens Torry Holt Chad Johnson Marvin Harrison Randy Moss Translation; With the 6th and 10th picks to tandem with my keepers; Steven Jackson and Larry Fitzgerald Not to shabby, if I say so myself.

Before I get to it; I am in a keeper league. My particular league, rewards good drafting. The way they do it is simple, where you draft a player, that's the round you sacrifice next year if you keep him. Obviously, I took Tomlinson in the first round last year. That said, I am not filled with confidence about Tomlinson this upcoming year. Whether it's the young QB play, the meh O-Line, or the fact that Tomlinson has slowed down in recent years or that he is a very old 28 at that, as in over 2000 touches. He also failed me down the stretch. However, "Conventional" wisdom suggests I keep LaDainian Tomlinson, regardless. Then again, contrary to my own opinion, I went with "Conventional" wisdom, and took Tomlinson over Alexander. Now I will present to the Fantasy Football nation what I am mulling, in my mind. Another owner has the Running Back, I truly cherish, Steven "Action" Jackson. Every time he's had more than 20 carries, something few and far between under Martz, he put up crazy numbers. 2004 26 Carries, 119 Yards 24 Carries, 148 Yards and 1 Touchdown 2005 25 Carries, 179 Yards and 1 Touchdown 25 Carries, 110 Yards and 1 Touchdown Only four times in two years! But when he does get the rock, he was a 230 pound man-beast! Now, out is pass-happy Martz, in is Linehan. Who will employ a balanced attack, and give Jackson the touches he needs. Best of all, for the owned that has him, it only costs him a 3rd round draft selection! Finally, answer me this; Am I crazy to think of trading LaDainian Tomlinson (28 Years Old, 1st round pick) for Steven Jackson (23 Years Old, 3rd round pick)? Not only would I get the Back, I prefer for this upcoming season, but i'd get my first round pick back (6th overall). Lend me your voice! Is it un-reasonable to expect Jackson to out-produce Tomlinson next season? I really don't care for "advice," it's my call and I will do what I think is best. I already know, what I think, now I want to know two things; 1. I am seeing if I am in the minority, that is, down on Tomlinson. 2. Where is the thin line between smart, outside the box thinking, and out-coaching?

Considering how historically inaccurate the "Experts" super bowl predictions are always, i'd be scared to be a Panthers fan.

Last year, in a second league, I drafted Kevin Jones and Deuce McAllister.

After the starters, he'd be among the first 'Backs I would take. I think Philadelphia will utilize an attack, more similar to the '03 eagles. I see Moats seeing action all season. Not enough to start, but very good for a backup, and will be great when, (not if), Westbrook goes down.
