Where do you think Leftwich winds up?

Views on Garrard this season...Also, any chance Boller or Clemens STAY in there after the others return from injuries... 1. Not a big Garrard fan. I think they need to run the ball 30-35 times a game and really limit what they ask Garrard to do.

2. No chance. McNair and Pennington are the guys there. Boller stinks anyway. Clemens isn't ready yet.

Tom,

I targeted Big Ben and Romo as mid draft QB's in every single one of my leagues. Are you saying I should not expect 9 TD's per week between them?

-if you had to choose between a caddy williams who may try to play with a chip on his shoulder to prove everyone wrong about his durability, and fat lendale white who just watched Brown out perform him last week... who would you start? Williams vs New Orleans, White vs Colts.

-I agree with you on Branch and saw that game as a fluke. Would not be surprised to see Hasselback feed him balls and target him 10 times this week. I also feel same way about V. Davis. What are your thoughts on the TE?

Any word on when V. Morency will be ready to play? Week 3, 4? What kind of performances do you see out of the Green Bay WR's against Giants after Dallas just torched them Sunday night? I like the Packers passing game this week. The Giants' secondary is terrible and Favre should be able to make some plays. Driver and Jones are looking good. The word on Morency continues to be bad. I wouldn't count on him making a major contribution anytime soon.

I host chats during the pre-season too John when people are either drafting or prepping for their draft bids. No difference. People can also go to our web site and see who I have ranked at each position. Again, no difference between the info I'm providing here and the info that's there.

Bottom line - it's up to each owner to make their own decisions. If they want to rely on my advice or Footballguys or John Hansen or RotoWire or whoever, that's up to them. I am not upset or anything... just a friendly debate..

Do any of them give advice on their own contests?

When you say 400-450 for Ward, some guys at 200 might adjust up. Guys at 600 could adjust down. That has a ripple affect on faab the rest of the year for those teams.

Are you seeing that someone involved with the contest shouldn't have that kind of influence?

The start/sit stuff is not the issue here. [/QUOTE]I'm just guessing on FAAB. People need to make their own decisions as I've been saying. I can tell people to start Player X over Player Y but the owner has to make the decision himself. All I'm doing is offering an opinion and given how I've never won $100,000 playing fantasy football that might be something that needs to be factored into the equation as well.

[/QUOTE]Sorry, I should have been more specific and stated just the concern about giving out faab info as a game operator. My bad.

Someone else brought this concern up before I did in this thread, so I'm not alone.

How much in your opinion do the New England Patriots video tapes help them? Very little to be honest. That said, I do think they violated a serious rule and they got off real easy - at least Belichick did. He should've been suspended for at least one game and probably two. The commissioner went soft and I think there could be some issues with that given how tough he's been on players and assistant coaches (namely Wade Wilson).

They have the defense and the running game but their QB situation is a joke. Leftwich isn't great but he'd be a major upgrade over Jackson.
