Here are some quick thoughts with the pre-season behind us: ·         After Donovan McNabb lost Kevin Curtis, we originally thought that he might be in trouble. After watching him play in his last two pre-season games especially, he seems to be in a zone. He’s still a great value in rounds 6-7 as your starter. ·         As for DeSean Jackson, he’s going to play a lot until Curtis comes back. Pick up Jackson for roster depth but who knows, you may wind up using him. He has special talent. ·         The Washington passing offense is a work in progress so Chris Cooley and Santana Moss owners will need to be patient. ·         The hype on Devin Hester has subsided somewhat which is a good thing. While consistency might be a problem, can you find many more players who have more upside than him in rounds 12-13? ·         I think Roddy White will be up and down this season due to Matt Ryan being the QB. ·         I’m very interested to see how Jake Delhomme does once Steve Smith does after he gets back from his two-game suspension. Delhomme was on fire last season in their new offensive scheme before he got hurt. ·         As for their RBs, ...

Comprehensive Leagues: DE: Super Mario DT: Double Yuck – I’ll go retro with Kevin Williams DE: Julius Peppers LB: Karlos Dansby LB: Patrick Willis LB: Demeco Ryans LB: Kirk Morrison S: Kerry Rhodes – big bounce back gives him a slight edge over A-Wilson, who needs to stay healthy S: Sean Jones CB: Richard Marshall CB: Antonio Cromartie Tackle-Based Leagues: DE: Justin Tuck DT: Jovan Haye DE: Aaron Schobel LB: Patrick Willis LB: Demeco Ryans LB: David Harris LB: D’Qwell Jackson edging Paul Posluszny S: Gibril Wilson S: Adrian Wilson CB: Darrelle Revis CB: Nate Clements - DL I have high on the projections that I’m a bit worried about: Tamba Hali - I doubt I’d have him this high (No. 14) if he weren’t a guy I thought would be an impact player since college). - LB I have high ...
