Anti-Big Talker discounter?<br /><br /> Other WRs with week 8 matchups, your Bye Wk: <br /><br />Kevin Walters (vs Buffalo), Derrick Mason (vs Denver Broncos), Braylon Edwards (vs Bears)<br /><br /> Assuming you not a fan of T.O., I'd take Derrick Mason vs the Broncos for that week #8 matchup. The Ravens have the 3rd highest blow-out chance of any matchup in week 8, only the Chargers (vs Raiders) and the Panthers (vs the Cardinals) have a better chance of a blowout win, based on last year's A.E.R.'s. Mason has a good chance at a huge game against the rebuilding Broncos defense. <br /><br /> Thoughts?Ryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34425107.post-28913777291539927982009-07-06T17:33:26.938-04:002009-07-06T17:33:26.938-04:00I found the university & old railroad town of ...I found the university & old railroad town of Kearney, Nebraska a fun road stop.

I can see Albert Haynesworth pushing the Boys O-line backwards quite frequently.<br /><br /><br />Odd thought, why was Michael Crabtree taken before Josh Morgan in your expert draft? Morgan is most likely to see targets than Crabtree than season. The 49ers seem very heavily loaded with WR talent this year, even before Crabtree was drafted in the 1st round. Just hard to see him, being an elite #1 or #2 in his first season, even though I think he was a stud WR in college out of Texas Tech. Why? Jason Hill, Josh Morgan, Isaac Bruce and Davis in the TE spot are going to take away his targets when they throw most of the time I think. <br /><br /> Donald Driver a few picks later, would be been a safer pick in FF. Even with two talented rising young WRs in the 3rd & 4th spots in Green Bay. <br /><br /><br /> Question about the FFlibrarian league, will there be a flexible position any type combination used? <br /><br /> On the timing of the FFLibrarian league draft, I'd prefer a date after the 1st two week of preseason NFL games. So we're all seen the rookies in pads against a few veterans from other teams in real game play. <br /><br /> I know DeAngelo Williams's huge game during one matchup last pre-season helped tilted me to drafted him, in combination with other measurements. Likewise I liked what I saw & heard about Chris Johnson of the Titans last preseason, and drafted him then too as a rookie. If we draft FF players in July, we'd all lose a valuable data point. Besides seeing how Coaching might influence a player's given amount of touches/targets during a game.Ryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34425107.post-38018684652264128202009-07-06T12:58:07.096-04:002009-07-06T12:58:07.096-04:00Already grabbed John Carlson with my 8th round pic...Already grabbed John Carlson with my 8th round pick (drop off after him is huge in my opinion) but don't have to wait too long before it snakes back around my way, and yes, I'll be targeting an RB for sure.

Despite only 6 pickes between 8.08 and 9.04, there could easily be 4 RBs taken in that time.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06459312251088822284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34425107.post-36383536695340685252009-07-06T12:46:30.352-04:002009-07-06T12:46:30.352-04:00In looking at your expert draft, I would say it...In looking at your expert draft, I would say it's time to get Owen Daniels as your TE if you like him a lot. Otherwise you can put that off a few rounds and take a shot with someone like Zach Miller (the OAK one), John Carlson or Visanthe Shiancoe. With six teams already owning TEs, there's not much dropoff in waiting past Owens.<br /><br />If not Owens, then now might be a good time to add a QB2. WR4 and RB4 are tempting, but with another pick coming at 9.04 (pending is 8.08), comparable RBs and WRs should remain. Hasselbeck has some nice upside, but Garrard is the real value here. I've seen many projections putting him ahead of Palmer, Roethlisberger, Schaub, Cutler, and yes, even Romo. It might be a bit of a reach here according to ADP, but still a great value in my opinion. (caveat: I don't know if Hasselbeck or Garrard have the same bye as Romo)Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06459312251088822284noreply@blogger.com
