BTW - the only player I am carrying over from last year to this year is Eli Manning. He was $1 last season (I got him at the auction), meaning I can carry him for $6 this year. We have $100 to filed a team of:
QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, RB/WR/TE, K... plus backups, of course. High end QBs go for $20+ with Manning maybe going for close to $30. The Top few RB go for around $40. Top WRs go for in the low $20s, usually, and the top TEs are in the mid to high teens. Ks are $3 max. Given that, thoughts on my holding Eli for $6? I figure he's cheap enough for me to lock him up now, and focus on spending big money on a couple of other studs instead. I'm expecting him to be better this year than he was last year. |

Eli would be a steal at even 11 IMO, so you'll probably be holding on to him for at least 2 years.
In terms of TE, I'd imagine that Gates would cost you WR money? If not, save the money on a high end receiver and just go after Gates at around $15. With the rookie QB and all, I'd imagine Gates will see a lot of short dump passes. He is the equivalent of Terrell Owens IMO. And for Bush, if you can grab him in the $25 area, he would be well worth it. Since it is a keeper league, you might want to buy him low and wait a year to get bargain-basement action on him.

How are you guys not gonna take Reggie Bush first? Dude won the heisman last year. I mean, seriously. That's cold.
*eyes LT at second pick* =========== I just realized the Braves are coming in town that night as I have to be at work 9/6 at 7pm...so I probably won't be done until after 10 at least. I'll go ahead and up my rankings, but I'm gonna have a friend or two watching things for me.

If I wanted Eli for 2 years, I'd have to sign him now (for 2 years at $11 per year). Once you give a guy a contract, that's it. You can't extend it. This league really is awesome.As for Gates, he's in my game plan. If I can get him for $14 or $15, I will. Otherwise, I'm going to get Shockey (nice combo with Eli) or Gonzo. I plan to spend more money on one of those three guys than BOTH of my WRs combined. I've also budgeted $65 for TWO RBs... I'd really like to get LT or Alexander, and then a nice low $20s player... If I can get Bush for that, and I should be able to, I might.

Just so everyone knows, eejit has been kicked and GTDawg should be taking his place as soon as he signs up.
