I'll start this out for Jeff and ask him the obvious question - where would you rank Favre if he ends up with the Bucs or the Jets?

Jeff,

What is your favorite format when playing FF? (draft, auction, salary cap, ...)

Patriots: substantial drop off for passing game? Where would you take Brady in the NFFC?

KDS: different or the same for the 12 and 14 team formats? What would your kds be now and why?

High Stakes: Do you play in high stakes events?

Leagues: How many leagues do you compete in each year?

RBBC: which duo offers the best potential this season?

Late round gems (1 each) : QB, RB, WR, TE

(snuck a few in because I cannot attend)

Jeff

Whats your thoughts on Steven Jackson, do you see him missing any regular season games, or is his contract issues going to be worked out in time?

It's all about the sell Jeff. Now live up to the billing.

It looks like the Bucs are more likely, so I'll operate under the assumption that's where he ends up. I would probably put him around 15 or so, ahead of where Garcia would have ended up, but below where I'd slot him with the Packers. I like him better than Vince Young or Campbell, about on a par with Rivers, Delhomme and Bulger.

Jeff, Ryan Torain is going to miss 6-8 weeks. Does that make you more sold on Selvin Young or do you think Andre Hall becomes a strong sleeper or given how this is Shanahan do you think it's possible Floyd Little gets the starting job?

(I'll grab a couple of these at a time to spread them out.)

Favorite format is auction/keeper, but I really like to play varied formats, including IDP's. Actually, my favorite format is college fantasy football - I'm in 4-5 college leagues every year, including two keeper leagues.

Brady - Sure, there has to be some dropoff, especially looking at his production down the stretch and in the playoffs. But substantial? I don't think so - he has as many weapons at his disposal before, and the commitment from the coaching staff to use them.

I think I saw that his ADP is around 6 or so - with six points per passing touchdown, that seems about right, give or take a slot.

This one has lasted longer than I expected already, given that he just cost himself some significant free agent leverage down the road. That said, I'm not worried yet. It's so rare that we see a holdout lasting into the regular season, and for that matter, actually having an impact on the player's performance. I think that the specter of a work stoppage after the '09 season does loom as a possible factor here, but I'm not worried enough to downgrade him yet.
