I would say LT because he's a triple threat. He scores TDs receiving, rushing and throwing. I think he threw 2 TDs last year. It's not a lot, but every point helps. Plus LT has the track record of being productive for multiple years, AP doesn't. I don't think AP is a one-year wonder, but you get my drift....

Either way, don't sweat it too much, you can't really make a wrong decision. Remember, the whole team has to win. Fantasy football wouldn't be much fun if the person who picked LT every year automatically won.

That can work against him too. Take LT.

Just because someone has a great year doesn't prove they can go against LT. LT has proven to be consistently terrific every year of his career.

Texizgreat,

Overall, that looks like a pretty decent team. However I do see a problem - you forgot to pay attention to the players bye weeks.

RB LT - Bye week: 9
RB EDGE JAMES - Bye week: 7
RB MICHAEL TURNER -Bye week: 7

So when week 7 comes around, you only have 1 RB playing, granted it's LT, but still. I highly suggest dropping 1 of your kickers and picking up another RB with a bye week other than 7. Try and find the best one you can, but even a second stringer will get you more points than a first stringer with the week off. :p You really don't need to carry 2 kickers anyway, they all provide roughly the same amount of points. Just add/drop based on your kickers bye week.

WR Anquan Boldin - Bye week: 7
WR Greg Jennings - Bye week: 8
WR Jerricho Cotchery - Bye week: 5
WR Reggie Williams - Bye week: 7

Again, in week 7 you'll only have 2 WRs playing instead of 3. Williams is your weakest receiver, so you could look to add/drop him based on what free agents are still available in your league, or possibly trade him with another team. You could also just drop 1 of your TEs or DSTs that week and pick up the best available FA WR that week. And then hope that you can resign whoever you dropped again the following week (if you want to).

Overall though, I like the talent depth on your team, but you can pretty much count on losing in week 7 if you don't address these issues. I hope that helps.

Yeah I saw that also ....

with what was available at the time these guys were the best... I can not drop one position to pick up another. if i drop a kicker i have to take a kicker.

Really? What kind of league are you in? I've done both ESPN & NFL.com leagues and thats not true for either of them.

crappy one


well its not a free site....


its Fanball.com

With that rule it keeps people from hordeing RBs or QBs or WRs

Never heard of that either. Of course if he only has one kicker he needs to drop someone else.
