I will keep you posted on the happenings in this league.

Top 10 TE for FF07
10. Owen Daniels--Was good on a bad Houston team last year, will be better on an equally bad Houston team this year.
9. LJ Smith--One of Donovan McNabb's favorite targets when both of them are healthy. It is his contract year so he will do everything he can to be in games.
8. Randy McMichael--Bulger won't look to him much between the twenties, but Randy should get tons of chances in the red zone to show off his catching ability.
7. Chris Cooley--Jason Campbell loves throwing to Cooley and it helps that Cooley catches everything thrown to him.
6. Kellen Winslow--Should provide a nice short option for Quinn. Which means they will develop a good repoire, which means Quinn will look for him in the red zone.
5. Todd Heap--Baltimore's top red zone target. He runs great routes and runs well after the catch.
4. Jeremy Shockey--Required to block too much. The Giants need to let him run more routes and be Manning's go to guy. If that happens then he will have a great season. If.
3. Vernon Davis--Alex Smith is improving with every snap. Vernon can fly and is strong so he should be open plenty for Smith to throw to all over the field. He could blow up in '07.
2. Tony Gonzalez--No surprise here. Croyle may be a very green rookie QB, but Gonzo always gets his catches and has the athleticism to give his young QB a great target.
1. Antonio Gates--Even less surprise at this. Gates is the best TE hands down. He has a great QB to throw him the ball and is the other cornerstone to the passing game (LT is the other). Expect another big year from Gates.

Top 10 RB for Fantasy Football 2007
10. Ronnie Brown--Cam Cameron will do wonders for the Miami offense. With the addition of Green, the offense will be more than one dimensional.
9. Travis Henry--Every RB has succeeded in the Bronco backfield for years. Henry will excel as the feature back and be a huge benefit to Cutler.
8. Laurence Maroney--With Corey Dillon retired, he will be the featured back. Look out!
7. Shaun Alexander--Assuming his foot is finally healed, he will get back to form and run rampant over anybody in his way.
6. Joseph Addai--In pass happy offense he found success as a backup, so the sky is the limit this year.
5. Rudi Johnson--Mr consistency will get his 1,300+ yards and his 12+ TD's as he does every year.
4. Frank Gore--Smith's maturation as a QB should help keep teams from keying on Gore alone. Leaving this speedy back the opportunity to run wild over opposing teams.
3. Larry Johnson--He may not be a Chief much longer from what I hear. They are thinking of trading him instead of trying to negotiate a new contract with him. If he stays on the Chiefs expect another great year. If he gets traded his stock could rise or fall depending on where he ends up.
2. Stephen Jackson--Jackson gets the nod over Johnson here because St. Louis has more weapons than KC to keep the pressure off of Jackson. Expect greater numbers this year than he had last year.
1. LaDainian Tomlinson--Expect Tomlinson (Lawrence Taylor is LT not Tomlinson in my book) to destroy defenses again this year. This guy is a freak of nature.
9. Travis Henry--Every RB has succeeded in the Bronco backfield for years. Henry will excel as the feature back and be a huge benefit to Cutler.
8. Laurence Maroney--With Corey Dillon retired, he will be the featured back. Look out!

Top 10 QB's for Fantasy Football 2007
10. Tony Romo--T.O., Crayton, Jones, Barber III should help Romo produce a fine fantasy season.
9. Phillip Rivers--Gates, Tomlinson, V Jackson, will help Rivers put up some good fantasy numbers. Tomlinson will also take away some points due to the fact that he is a pretty good fuckin' running back.
8. Matt Leinart--Not many have as good a receiving corps as Leinart to throw to. Bouldin, James, and Fitzgerald should have good years.
7. Marc Bulger--The addition of Bennett is good. He and Jackson should give Bulger a few solid targets to throw to.
6. Trent Green--Finally, the 'Phins have their first decent QB since Dan "The Man" Marino. Trent is no Dan, but he is closer than any QB they have had since he retired. Chambers, Ginn Jr, Hagan (if he can hold onto the ball) should profit nicely with the addition of Green.
5. John Kitna--Calvin Johnson, Roy Williams, Mike Furrey, Tatum Bell, Kevin Jones and Mike Martz---'Nuff said.
4. Carson Palmer--Palmer got back to full strength by the end of the season last year, so he should be back to his former Fantasy Stud self.
3. Drew Brees--Reggie Bush, Marques Colston, Devery Henderson, and newcomer Robert Meachem more than make up for Joe Horn's bolt to Atlanta.
2. Peyton Manning--Yup, I did it. I didn't put Manning number 1. Harrison and Wayne are the best 1-2 punch at WR in the NFL. He will definitely produce for 30+ TD's and 4000 yards.
1. Tom Brady--Had an off fantasy year last year, but should come back strong this year especially with the additions of Moss, Welker, and Stallworth. He has something to prove this year.
9. Phillip Rivers--Gates, Tomlinson, V Jackson, will help Rivers put up some good fantasy numbers. Tomlinson will also take away some points due to the fact that he is a pretty good fuckin' running back.

Fear No More!
Fear the Roid Rage no more. My fantasy football team, Roid Rage 1, lost the championship game to my good friend, Canes Rule. The rage didn't just lose the game, they got destroyed-- 201.01-136.41. My team didn't even bother to make an appearance. My bench would not even have helped stop the hemorrhaging. I blame the whole loss on Tony Romo (not really all his fault, but he is the only one I know of that has a new girlfriend, Carrie Underwood) who is probably thinking about his new girl more than football.
Well, there is always next year. ROIDS will be back next year. It is a 6-8 team league with at least 3 teams coming back (I'm pretty sure they will be back anyway). A larger than normal roster size. Starting lineup--2QB, 4WR, 3RB, 2TE, W/T, W/R, K, DEF, 2D, DB, DL. There are 6 bench spots. So the final standings are:
1. Cane's Rule
2. Roid Rage 1
3. 4th & Long
4. Using the Force
5. Red Bull U
6. Fifth Down

Fear the ROID RAGE!!!!!
Fantasy Football playoffs are here. Well, one week away, so I would like to touch on the season that could be for my team (ROID RAGE) and the season that should have been for my lovely wife. Lets start with my season to date:
Standings:
4th and long--10-4--2335.57pts
Using the Force--9-5--2159.33
Roid Rage--8-6--2320.27
Canesrule--7-7--2078.50
Red Bull U--5-9--2055.14
Fifth Down--3-11--2260.74
Week 1--Lost 182.65-180.23 (0-1)
Week 2--Won 176.33-140.73 (1-1)
Week 3--Lost 161.93-118.38 (1-2)
Week 4--Won 179.05-160.20 (2-2)
Week 5--Lost 164.22-137.74 (2-3)
Week 6--Won 205.27-182.78 (3-3)
Week 7--Lost 117.98-109.71 (3-4)
Week 8--Won 160.93-125.51 (4-4)
Week 9--Lost 196.08-145.61 (4-5)
Week 10--Won 169.09-141.60 (5-5)
Week 11--Lost 138.78-128.95 (5-6)
Week 12--Won 227.05-177.46 (6-6)
Week 13--Won 186.78-141.06 (7-6)
Week 14--Won 195.15-151.43 (8-6)
Week 15--This week
Week 16--Round 1 of playoffs
Week 17--Round 2 of playoffs
As you can see the three game winning streak at the end has put me in at the third seed for the playoffs for now. So even though I had an up and down beginning to the season, it is turning out to be pretty good. My wife on the other hand is not doing so well (she is Fifth Down). This is her first year playing Fantasy Football and it has been much fun playing with her. She has a great team that has seen more bad luck in one fantasy season than I have seen in all my years of playing. Her team could easily be at least 10-4 and in the playoffs. Lets break down her season to this point:
Week 1--Lost 150.75-145.39----Close game but no real standouts that would have changed the game either way. (0-1)
Week 2--Lost 156.70-148.38----Adrian Wilson of the opposing team scored twice his average. IF he scores is average, the wife wins 148.38 - 143.93 (0-2), could be (1-1)
Week 3--Won 157.86-137.08 (1-2 or 2-1)
Week 4--Lost 178.06-148.13----Both teams had people step up or suck. Biggest person going against the wife was Santana Moss deciding to get his only touchdowns of the year (3) in this game. Wouldn't have changed the outcome. (1-3 or 2-2)
Week 5--Won 164.22-137.74 (2-3 or 3-2)
Week 6--Lost 233.77-190.43----4th and Long had several players have career games, but they still would have won. (2-4 or 3-3)
Week 7--Lost 181-156.58----Hines Ward and Michael Vick went off for Using the Force. Alge Crumpler had a great game for Fifth Down but Matt Leinart sucked more than a vacuum cleaner. Put each one of these 4 players at their average and the wife wins 150-141. (2-5 or 4-3)
Week 8--Lost 184.23-173.38----Jake Plummer, Marc Bulger, and Reggie Wayne had great games well above their average. Put these guys closer to their averages and the wife wins again. Shit, just put Reggie Wayne down closer to his average and the wife would have won.(2-6 or 5-3)
Week 9--Lost 162.66-148.54----Brady blew more than a porn star. put him around his average and the wife wins again (barely 162.81-162.66) but a win is a win.(2-7 or 6-3)
Week 10--Lost 169.09-141.60----would have been closer if San Diego defense hadn't tanked against Cincinnati. (2-8 or 6-4)
Week 11--Lost 208.20-189.55----Lee Evans was 24 points above his average. Put him 3 points above his average and the wife wins--189.55-187.2. (2-9 or 7-4)
Week 12--Lost 184.1-170.98----Joseph Addai decided to have the biggest game of his short career--4TD's and a whopping 27 points over his season average. Give him 10 points over and the wife wins 170.98-167.1. (2-10 or 8-4)
Week 13--Lost 161.75-154.83----DeMeco Ryans obliterates his average by more than 30 points. Take away 3 tackles and his int and the wife wins again 154.83-153.75. (2-11 or 9-4)
Week 14--Won 170.87-147.58 (3-11 or 10-4)
Week 15--This week
Week 16--Bye--First round of consolation round
Week 17--Consolation Round
So as you can see, all it takes is one player to give you a win or loss. Of course, the rest of the team needs to do their job and get close to their average each week otherwise the break-out performance will be for naught.
When the wife agreed to play fantasy football this year I was ecstatic. I knew I could help her with my giant fuzzball of knowledge and the experts at ESPN and Yahoo. Well, my giant fuzzball is now a tiny dust bunny waiting to be swept up from the corner of the bedroom. All the advice I have given her based on my knowledge and the experts went against her. She has lost all confidence in my knowledge :(.
She now plays fantasy basketball. Yesterday one of the fools in our league offers her the trade of a lifetime---Shawn Marion for Udonis Haslem (straight up). She showed me the offer and I said she should take it. She balked at me (she is crushing the league BTW) and said my advice is no longer good and she will no longer be listening to anything I have to offer. It was a sad day in my household. My already dwindled knowledge ball of football now has company with the even smaller dust bunny--my basketball knowledge (this wasn't that big to begin with). I told her that even though she likes her team the way it is, Shawn Marion would be a ginormous upgrade.
PS. She did eventually accept the trade for Shawn Marion.

Week 10--Lost 169.09-141.60----would have been closer if San Diego defense hadn't tanked against Cincinnati. (2-8 or 6-4)
Week 11--Lost 208.20-189.55----Lee Evans was 24 points above his average. Put him 3 points above his average and the wife wins--189.55-187.2. (2-9 or 7-4)
Week 12--Lost 184.1-170.98----Joseph Addai decided to have the biggest game of his short career--4TD's and a whopping 27 points over his season average. Give him 10 points over and the wife wins 170.98-167.1. (2-10 or 8-4)
Week 13--Lost 161.75-154.83----DeMeco Ryans obliterates his average by more than 30 points. Take away 3 tackles and his int and the wife wins again 154.83-153.75. (2-11 or 9-4)
Week 14--Won 170.87-147.58 (3-11 or 10-4)
Week 15--This week
Week 16--Bye--First round of consolation round
Week 17--Consolation Round
So as you can see, all it takes is one player to give you a win or loss. Of course, the rest of the team needs to do their job and get close to their average each week otherwise the break-out performance will be for naught.
When the wife agreed to play fantasy football this year I was ecstatic. I knew I could help her with my giant fuzzball of knowledge and the experts at ESPN and Yahoo. Well, my giant fuzzball is now a tiny dust bunny waiting to be swept up from the corner of the bedroom. All the advice I have given her based on my knowledge and the experts went against her. She has lost all confidence in my knowledge :(.
She now plays fantasy basketball. Yesterday one of the fools in our league offers her the trade of a lifetime---Shawn Marion for Udonis Haslem (straight up). She showed me the offer and I said she should take it. She balked at me (she is crushing the league BTW) and said my advice is no longer good and she will no longer be listening to anything I have to offer. It was a sad day in my household. My already dwindled knowledge ball of football now has company with the even smaller dust bunny--my basketball knowledge (this wasn't that big to begin with). I told her that even though she likes her team the way it is, Shawn Marion would be a ginormous upgrade.
PS. She did eventually accept the trade for Shawn Marion.
