    Alright dude, here are some of my opinions:

    QBs - Despite battling the knee limitations right now, I think Peyton Manning is due for a monster year. He’s gotta be pissed not only because Tom Brady and the Pats won the AFC, but also because his brother now has as many rings as he does. That’s why I made sure he was ranked high enough in my auto-draft that I got him.

    I think Tony Romo is due to take a step back this year, mostly because of the huge turnover in the Cowboys’ coaching staff coming into this year.

    Drew Brees has a lot of weapons this year, especially with a healthy (for now) McAllister and Jeremy Shockey coming over.

    My dark horse for this year is Jake Delhomme, and my disappointment for this year at QB is Derek Anderson.

    RBs - Ryan Grant is going to be interesting this year, now that he got that big contract. I’m not saying….I’m just saying, know what I mean?

    I think Willis McGahee is due for a big year now that the Ravens have added Lorenzo Neal as his fullback, so I picked him up.

    I also like Willie Parker and Jamal Lewis…wait a minute, I just named all running backs from the AFC North. Oh well, it’s nicknamed the “Black and Blue” Division for a reason.

    Also, don’t forget Maurice Jones-Drew.

    Dark horse for this year at RB is Darren McFadden, if he can get some offensive line help. My pick for disappointment is Julius Jones in Seattle.

    WRs - If he stays healthy, I really feel like Andre Johnson could put up numbers that may only be bested by Randy Moss.

    My fantasy team stinks at WR. I’ve got Hines Ward, Chris Chambers, and Bernard Berrian. Yeah, I know. That’s why I just claimed a guy I think could bounce back bigtime this year: Muhsin Muhammad. He’s back in Carolina after a few years in the city where offensive skill players go to die: Chicago. Last time he was with Carolina, dude had 1400 yards and 16 TDs. Not that he can duplicate those numbers 4 years later, but if he’s even close, he could be a steal. Obviously, he’s my pick for a dark horse WR.

    My pick for a disappointment at WR is Chad Ocho Cinco. Also Marvin Harrison.

    Overall, I think your rankings are pretty solid. Just wanted to give you my $.02.

    Post your fantasy team once you’ve drafted, and I’ll share mine. Sorry for the comment being so long!

    I think your wide out list is pretty solid. I would have Brian Westbrook up higher though. I’m not going to say too much because I draft against you in two leagues. But there might be a quarterback from Denver that’s looking good.

    Nice line up. Three problems. 1. Eli manning will probably crumble given his defense will be giving up 100s of points and force him on the field more. No biggie if your league doesn’t count off for INTS. 2. Barry is 100% right, Westbrook has been a fantasy beast for 6years. 3. Frank gore is lame. Love ya bro, hope all is great in the world of Staggs.
