I think Roerthlisberger will be a steady fantasy starter, but Carr will still struggle. I expect Williams to be a big surprise when Foster gets hurt. White could emerge in the second half of the sked.

Willie Roaf looks done. But LJ still ran well without him last year

GOd - Roy Williams, McNair, Curtis, Moss

Snake, I like the first trio the best - solid at RB, still very good at WR. Don't trust Foster to stay healthy or McGahee behind that line, plus the QB issues.

Tiki at four, Portis fifth, Edge sixth, LaMont Jordan seventh

Yeah, I meant Willie Roaf.
We in KC just think it was a bad dream.
Plus it's 105 degrees today.

Have a Gatorade on me.

Without Roaf last year, the Chiefs still rushed for well over 100 yards in five of the six games he missed. The line is still solid overall, and Waters is the guy that really leads the charge in the running game.

I don't think you will see a Palmer type this year, but you'll see Culpepper slip farther than he should, maybe to the eighth or ninth round. Rivers could be a pleasant surprise for steady play. Cooley might get even better, and I'd watch rookies Joe Klopfenstein and Marcedes Lewis.
