I've been hearing that Brady is the #2 QB in fantasy football this year. I just dont see that, there are other qb's I rather have than him. I know he's been consistent over the years, but wouldn't you rather take a risk on Palmer or Culpepper a couple rounds later where you can get them at a discount b/c of their injuries last year? Palmer's the only QB right now I'd consider No. 2 ahead of Brady, maybe Hasselbeck. I think Brady has been under-rated for quite awhile and even though there are some issues at WR in New England I think he's become like Favre in that he makes the talent around him so much better and he doesn't need star talent at WR to thrive. That said, if the Branch situation remains ugly Brady will be lowered in my rankings.

TK - who will be the ONE QB and ONE TE who you pick in the mid to late rounds to do what Carson Palmer and Chris Cooley did in 2005?...SNAKE QB: Drew Brees (not at Palmer's level but the potential is there for him to be drafted as a QB2 who produces QB1 numbers throughout the season)

TE: L.J. Smith

Do you see Reggie Bush not signing til sometime into the season like Ced Benson did last year? He's currently being drafted in the mid to late 2nd round, would you downgrade him a bit? If so, which RBs would you take ahead of him?

TK - can you do anything to further clarify the RB situation in GB, Tenn, and Chicago?...SNAKE GB: I still think Gado emerges as the leader in carries but Green will be the starter if he's healthy by Week 1.

Ten: Brown will start as long as he's there. White probably getting the goal-line carries.

Chi: Jones and Benson splitting carries maybe nearly equally.

If so, which RBs would you take ahead of him? Too soon to start downgrading Bush or worrying about the holdout. It is a concern, but there's still time to get this taken care of. Right now the only RBs I'd definitely take ahead of Bush without hesitation are:

LJ
Alexander
LT
Barber
Portis
Edge
Jordan
Rudi Johnson
Jackson
Brown
Cadillac
Westbrook
Davis
McGahee
Kevin Jones
Droughns
Parker

TK - do you think that Fred Taylor and/or Deuce McAllister will be strong RB3/Flex options this year?...SNAKE Deuce maybe a decent one; Taylor an OK one for some games but I wouldn't want him on my roster. I wouldn't be elated to have McAllister but I could live with him as my RB3.

Tom,
What's your take on the RB situations in Den and SF?
