My Keeper League team

[ibldsilverblack]

This is a league that me and my friends just started...tell me what you think, i took a chance on some Raiders (4)

1. Maurice Jones-Drew (RB)
2. Travis Henry (RB)
3. Antonio Gates (TE)
4. T.J. Houshmanzadeh (WR)
5. Vince Young (QB)
6. Bears (Def)
7. Alex Smith (QB)
8. Nate Kaeding (K)
9. Ronald Curry (WR)
10. JaMarcus Russell (QB/Rookie Keeper)
11. Dallas Clark (TE)
12. Bernard Berrian (WR)
13. Jerry Porter (WR)
14. Dominic Rhodes (RB)
15. Michael Bennett (RB)
16. Anthony Thomas (RB)
17. Drew Bennett (WR)

So in a Nut Shell

QB: Vince Young, Alex Smith
RB: Maurice Jones-Drew, Travis Henry, Dominic Rhodes, Michael Bennett, Anthony Thomas
WR: TJ Houshmanzadeh, Ronald Curry, Bernard Berrian, Jerry Porter, Drew Bennett
TE: Antonio Gates, Dallas Clark
K: Nate Kaeding
Def: Bears
Rookie Redshirt: JaMarcus Russell


So what do you guys think? Personally i hate picking players from my own team, but I thought Porter and Curry are really do for a good season this year, Rhodes I just wanted another RB that has starter potential and I took Jamarcus based on him and what his expectations are...Next year i get to keep 4 guys plus my rookie

It's not a bad team. VY will probably only get better, and I'm guessing between 3500-3700 total yards. I really like Maurice JD, that man is a beast, and as much as it pains me to say it, Henry will thrive with the Bunkos. Your WR's are a bit weak though because none of them are SINGULARLY good. TJ splits with Ocho-Cinco and Curry, I think, will split receptions with Porter. Bennett could be a good "sleeper" though. Good D and Good Kicker. Good Luck!!

My WR's i thought were good picks, Berrian was a monster last year, Bennett i've heard nothing but good things about, Curry and Porter is basically who is doing the best, if one is not doing great at all i'm dumping them but I think i might trade one for a draft pick next year

[smokey1212]

You see, with Berrian you are counting way way too much on Grossman. If Grossman loses the strike zone again (or doesn't find it again I should say) Berrian is toast. Look at last season 2nd half Grossman sucked and Barrian suffered. He was hardly a monster, not even in the top 30 WR's with <800 yards, 50 catches and only 5-6 TDs. Whose-yer-mama is your best bet for solid, consistent production. The other guys will probably be streaky.

[ibldsilverblack]

You think If Griese is put in that Berrian will succeed?

[smokey1212]

Possibly. Griese has had streaks of good play, that have outshown Grossman's best play. But even he is extremely streaky. Don't get me wrong, Berrian will probably have some 100+ yard 1 TD games, and those weeks (considering the strength of your teams other positions) you team will be hard to beat. However, you better hope that on Berrian's off weeks TJ or one of our Raiders come up big; otherwise that is where your losses will come. Also, I may have estimated a bit high on VY's yards because I forgot he lost his only credible WR threat.
