I appreciate with some big drafts to come some people will keep their thoughts to themselves for another week.

But as i'm done i'll kick us off...

Big Ben passes for 4,000 yards and 35 TDs.

I agree with this one matt, though we didn't manage to land Ben in even ONE of our 7 drafts this year.

He gets to face the NFC West and AFC South - two divisions not known for their defense or strong teams. Plus Ben gets the usual 4 games vs. CLE and CIN (the latter with a rookie QB).

I think Ben is possibly THE biggest value pick this year. Just the way our drafts worked out - either a big QB run or we just didn't want to have to reach for a next-tier WR or RB sometimes in round 3 or 4 (just so we could wait for Ben); so we ended up with Rodgers, Brees and Romo in round 3 of some leagues.

Good luck to all those where the timing and team construction worked out to land you Ben. Good things in store this year for him!

I'm in the same boat. He didn't fall to me in any of my 4 leagues.

1.) Tony Romo is 3rd in QB points behind Vick and Rodgers. Per the drafts so far, the Cowboys have 2 top 30 WRs, a Top 3 TE, and a pass-catching RB who is going in the first two rounds in PPR leagues. Yet Romo goes off the board as the 7th or 8th QB in most drafts.

2.) In the 14 team leagues, Willis McGahee has more points than Knowshon Moreno.

3.) Santonio Holmes is a Top 10 WR.

4.) Javhid Best doesn't score 200 fantasy points.

Boldin MINIMUM 85 receptions.

L.Blount literally "carries" the Bucs to the playoffs. PLAYOFFS? Yeah, I said it. lol

McGahee reminds all Moreno owners why he used to upset all Ray Rice owners.

Remember all of those INT's last year for Eli? The NINE interceptions that bounced off receiver's hands last year, turn into more yards and more TD's for Eli this year. 30+ TD's for a guy who may be the most under rated fantasy QB.

Why did the Dolphins give Larry Johnson some playing time this pre season? Because Daniel Thomas needed a fire under his butt. Why did the Dolphins cut Larry Johnson? Because Thomas got the hint. Reggie Bush is a great athlete, but he will NOT, nor will he ever be, a 30 touch runningback. Daniel Thomas is not a top RB, but he is MUCH better than his present ADP.

Delone Carter (RB) will be the starter for the Colts by Week 10...

I don't know about Eli, but I do think the lack of a TE or a viable 3rd receiver means 60+ catches for Ahmad Bradshaw.

Multiply the # of fantasy points Mike Williams (TB) has by .7 = the # of fantasy points Arrelious Benn has.

in other words, Benn has a good year.
