NT Fantasy Football

I avoided the NT league, simply because I can't stand autodraft. I prefer to at least have the option to show up to the draft and pick players manually, in part because it generally works out much, much better for me. I don't think I'll ever forgive the autodraft feature for the Fred Taylor/Steve McNair debacle in one league last year. Not that I'm a perfect drafter either, but at least this year I wound up with a strong backfield, that I should be able to parly into better receivers during the season.

Picking up Marcus Pollard in free agency, great move by myself!

I got Joey Harrington boys, i know someone wants to take a chance on him!

I'm OK on QBs. I've got Mark Bulger and Patrick Ramsey. Not that Ramsey is gonna be spectacular or anything, but he should be quite decent. Bulger I expect big things from, given the typical Rams offense.

What I really need is some WR love.

Steve Smith should produce this year. Panthers got rid of Muhsin Muhamond during the off-season, so Smith should get the ball more. Although Kerry Colbert did a very good job last year, I would still think Smith will get a lot of passes thrown to him, if he can stay healthy.

Mofish check the trades, it's a little unbalanced for you, but you do get Mr. Brooks

I'm looking for a good RB. I have some killer WRs I'd consider trading.

Man, I have exactly the opposite problem. My team is strong except for my wideouts. Too bad we're in different leagues.

Talk to me, Lyion. Maybe we can work something out. No, you can't have Edgerrin James.

I think Isaac Bruce is going to have a pretty good year based on what I've seen, and be willing to trade him and perhaps one of my RBs for a good RB.

Although I'd consider Edge for Harrison, too.

I don't feel comfortable with Faulk and Bennett as my 2 and 3 RBs.

I sent a trade proposal, Arlos.

If we're making stupid trades, I'll like to get antonio gates for the bears TE (clark)

Any trade that is obviously attempts at stacking a team, i will use commish powers to stop it. The league is for fun, even still it has to remain fun for everyone playing.

Just to let you all know, the trade deadline is this friday (Nov 18th) List what you want, and what you have to trade here.

I'd like to get a quality TE, but I really don't have much to offer

I've got the Seattle TE (Stevens), Buffalo Defense, Pitt WR (Randle El)

Post by **Lyion** » Tue Nov 15, 2005 2:21 pm

For a price any of my players is available.

Post by **Arlos** » Tue Nov 15, 2005 3:17 pm

I'd be willing to listen to offers on just about any of my players, just know that Gates and Edgerrin James (and to a lesser extent Steve Smith) would take incredible offers to get me to bite. Gates is the best fantasy TE out there, and a hard to fill spot overall. Smith is a MVP candidate and has been lighting up the league, as has James. So, no, I won't do something stupid like Tatum Bell for Gates.

I'm mainly looking for better depth at RB and WR right now. After Smith and James, I ain't got crap that produces with any regularity. Wish I could undo that trade I made with Lyion early on. heh.

It hasn't really helped me much, either, Arlos.

I'd trade Mcnabb for a decent any position.

WTF, Shaun Alexander for Lavernius Coles now? That's a BETTER trade? /veto /veto /veto.

Hey, can I trade Joe Jurevicious for Ladanian Tomlinson while we're at it?

C'mon. These trades are ridiculous. Alexander is worth two top tier people, and a top 5 player in the league. Don't try and trade him for a guy off the waiver wire.
