His price will be too high for me. I'm concerned with the crowded backfield but REALLY concerned with the number of touches he had last year(449). History shows those guys break down the next season. And it ain't like DeMarco hasn't had injury issues in the past.

You make some good points and this is a good discussion. Brees I believe is a safer option rather than relying on Stafford to almost double his TD output. Granted, my RB production would suffer, but that is the most volatile position in fantasy with the biggest bust and injury potential.

Here is Brees vs Stafford in my league last year. 133 pts is a large gap. Drew Brees 422 5177 43 19 5 1 0 0 0 0 1 627.08 Matthew Stafford 435 4967 20 17 126 4 1 3 0 1 4 494.83 Tony Romo 425 4903 28 19 49 1 1 -1 0 2 3 516.67

I listed the scoring in original post....no pts/carry. I'm starting to think I may need to reach for a QB.

12 teamer that gives QB's: 6 pts TD .20 pts/completion .04 pts/yard 5 pt bonus at 300, 350, 400 yards passing. Rb's and WR's get 5 pt bonus at 100, 150, 200 yards. 1/2 PPR and .10 pts/yard I have the 9th pick and really want to wait on a QB this year but does this scoring justify taking a Brees at 9 overall?!? Or a Rodgers in the 2nd round?

Anyone rolling with Britt this week? I'm tempted to put him in the lineup over Donald Jones or Blackmon, but it's a strong possibility his playtime will be limited in his first game action since last season. What's everyone's thoughts on Britt this week?

Pretty concerned with Hillis' lack of touches, particularly around the goal line.

Steelers homer here...Baron Batch would most likely be next in line. He was the talk of camp last season before he tore his acl.

Hixon would fill in for Nicks if Nicks can't go. He isn't a slot guy.

Really hurts Ronnie Brown value.

Is Desean starting today? I've seen conflicting reports this morning.

1/2 PPR....should I pick up Sims-Walker and drop either Earl Bennett or Chris Henry? I'm starting D Jackson, Housh, and Cotchery. Played Steve Smith in flex last night.

Could use some opinions here. 12 team and I got the 8 spot. I've narrowed it down to LT and Brees unless Sjax falls to me. League settings are 4 completions/pt, 25yds passing/pt, 10 yds rushing/receiving, 1/2 PPR, 6 pts all TD's, and 5 pt bonus at 300,350,400 yards passing and 100,150,200 yds rushing/receiving. I believe our league heavily favors qb's and I'm wondering if I should consider Brees or Brady if the draft unfolds like this: 1. AP 2 Turner 3. Mjd 4. Forte 5. Sjax 6. Fitz 7. LT Last year, Brees outscored the 2nd rated QB by 70 pts. Thoughts?

Commentators calling it a "jammed neck." He looks fine.

Mason got hurt in the 1st quarter. He didn't return until after halftime, probably got a shot to play thru the pain (was a pretty nasty fall on the arm)
