What kind of production do you project for Joe Horn this year?

I currently have Javon Walker projected for 1050 yards and 7 touchdowns. But I think that's pretty close to the maximum for him, so all of his upside is built into that projection.

Reggie Bush has been going as high as early 2nd in some mocks. Is he worth that high of a pick?

Okay, lots of questions from "God Loves You". I'll try to hit them all.

I don't think Portis' receptions will increase a whole lot, just a little. Betts could get some of those anticipated catches.

Johnson over Williams because of better track record and Eric Moulds.

Bennett over Branch for greater upside.

Simms vs. Carr is a pickem, but I'd go Simms.

Clayton over Curtis, no contest. Curtis' value is entirely dependent on someone getting hurt.

Smith over Putzier, but neither one is anything more than a backup.

No clue on the NE kicking situation.

You guys at Rototimes have carved out quite a nice niche in the fantasy world. I was curious as to what lead you to the start-up, how many others started with you, and how did you go about it?

For SNAKE

My favorite middle-round receiver is Reggie Brown of Philly. I think he'll be borderline top 20 this year. Excellent for NFFC, too. I also like Nate Burleson to bounce back with a BIG season in Seattle.

Mike Bell could be the next Reuben Droughns. Someone is going to have to spell Tatum Bell, and I just don't see it being Ron Dayne.

I think alot of people have Steve Smtih as their top fantasty receiver this year. How concerned should they be about his early hamstring problems, which can linger throughout the season?

I like Kevin Jones to bounce back, but I just don't trust him enough to put him in my top 15 of running backs. Chris Brown is a borderline top 20 talent, but once you factor in his injury problems, surrounding talent, and competition, the upside just isn't there.

I'm really not sure about Joe Horn. He's a guy I'm going to try to watch in the preseason, even for just a few plays. I want to believe last year wasn't the beginning of the end, but I'm not sure.
