    Yeah thought I might need Rob to sort it out. such a joke I am told I don't have an ESPN account despite I was logged in and looking at my team but then when I went to sort out a draft board, eh..nothing.

    3rd pick :D

    Is it not better to go HB rather than QB?

    RODGERS. I cannot emphasise this enough. He is the most consistent fantasy performer in the league. If not, then Brady in a heartbeat. Another highly consistent performer with some new weapons.

    Have you tried to reset your password and all that?

    Really weird.

    Maybe try logging on in a different browser or clearing cache first

    Only back online a minute ago after travelling for the day and racing to my hotel to get internet access, just PM'd Raoul so hopefully can help him

    Too late to sort out divisions lads, if it had of been brought up sooner would have been able to do something, unfortunate.
    With this big a league just put everyone into one place at the time and will play almost everyone else and best records go through so should work reasonably well

    did you just miss the draft? Wouldn't like to be counting on Moss for points every week...

    Also, Oakland or Cleavland?

    I brought my iPad out to do the draft with the mobile app, the app kept freezing on me last night. Gutted .... Teams not terrible tho . Will post up late,, may have to be active in trades though.

    for fantasy football im into having Top RB. Seem to be the most productive players. Team is:

    QB: Josh Freeman
    RB: Chris Johnson
    RB: Adrian Peterson
    WR: Robert Meacham
    WR: Lance Moore
    TE: Vernon Davis
    D/ST: Jets
    K: Dan Bailey (Dallas)

    But why in the Blue moon did the AI draft Tim Tebow? One question if the Jets start using tim as a RB. Will I get the QB running points which will be massive?

    I was thinking this aswell.

    What's the rest of your team? Also you need to start 3 WR's.

    I think Tebow could be good if wins the job.

    I don't think they will use him as a RB but if they did I guess you would have to play him as your QB and you would get the rushing yards and whatever TD's he got.

    I had Freeman last year, he was terrible, ended up trading him away for Vick. Hopefully he'll be better for you than he was for me

    My team:
    vwtpqs.png

    Think it could be really good, but some of them are such gambles like Peyton in the 2nd round and Bush in the 3rd. Nobody is totally sure how good Peyton will be. Think Tamme could have been a good pickup and so could Benson. But they easily could be bust and not get the ball much.

    Not sold on Burleson as a starter. Peyton is a gamble, and I think nowhere near the 2nd round value. Way too many QBs taken in second, I got Cutler at 84.
