I do, it's been a long weekend.

And my step dad is watching golf. Can't very well come down and visit and kick him off his tele.

That's because you're vile.

Just done another fantasy draft. Can't decide if I like the outcome or not. I have a good team but my depth at RB is nothing and I have far too many WR's. Kept finding late value WR's though!

QB: Favre, McNabb
RB: Rice, Charles, McCoy (somehow got Rice at 7)
WR: Welker, Jackson, T.O, Gaffney, Floyd, Harvin
TE: Miller
K: Carpenter
DST: Giants

How many teams are in the league?

I like your QB's and RB's. Your RB's alot really. 3 who could easily become RB1's.

Your WR's are so-so though. Welker is coming off a huge injury, TO is a locker room cancer and Harvin regularly has problems with migranes (he was recently carted off from practise with one). Jackson, i assume, DeSean is a very good choice though.

Having some problems with my fantasy team (proper RLFans one) at WR. Rice, my number 1 WR, is out for 10 weeks. I have Sims-Walker and Edwards at WR but i can't decide who to play at my 3rd spot. Either Mike Williams from Tampa (promising rookie) or Kenny Britt (been poor so far).

Also anybody doing the Sky fantasy NFL thing. I think i've got a decent team together but it's actually quite difficult with the limited budget of $18million.

Oh, Gronkowski TE has been traded for Denver CB Alphonso Smith.

by the way it is TE Dan Gronkowski of the Lions.

12 teams. I went out and grabbed RBs first. Gambled on getting Flacco late but he was taken at 78 so I picked up Favre with pick 79. Welker was in round 5 I think. Harvin I always try to draft as I think he will go on to great things plus he was in round 6 so I couldn't say no. T.O I grabbed very late in round 11 as I figured him to be a good risk/reward style player. He is also trade fodder. It is DeSean Jackson. I have till week 8 to find a backup RB that I will have to play due to McCoy and Rice sharing that bye week.

Some terrible picks in the draft. The first pick was the Jets DST. Same guy took Dallas Clark in round 2.

Fair enough. It's a pretty good team and by the sounds of the other picks you'll do well based on your competition

Like you say your WR's have the potential to be very good (DeSean, Harvin and TO sounds a decent starting 3) just if i'm being picky thats probably the weakest part.

It's the same on my RLFans team, i'm weak at WR. (Oh by the way we play each other week 1!) Some picks in drafts really mess up strategies. My favourite QB, outside of A-Rod, is Schaub so i like him on my team. In 99% of the mock drafts etc he goes 4th or 5th round. Yet in our draft there was a run on QB's and he was the highest rated QB left on the board at my 2nd pick!! I had to take him, not only because i like him but because he is a quality fantasy option. That along with some other suprising selections meant that my bench in particular is ridiculously weak.
