I got Cooley.

I drafted Chris Cool

ey in my fantasy league, and he's listed as a RB/TE. I think this guy might be one of the cornerstones of Gibbs' offense. The analysts say that he's not a good fantasy pick, but I think he's going to be a gold mine.

I have Him also and I think your right. I also have McCants, Brunell and Washington's D.

Is picking with our hearts dangerous? I hope not, I have washingington's d, portis, coles, and John Hall as my kicker. I know cooley is available, I have shockey, but who knows if he'll ever play. Is five players to many on one fantasy team?

JPFair · Post by **JPFair** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 9:41 am

I think if you know Joe Gibbs' style of offense, then you can go with the heart. But, it's still dangerous. Portis is a great pick for fantasy football. He's going to get a ton of yards, carries, TD's, and even receptions. I think Cool

ey could be a diamond in the rough in fantasy football. I base this on the fact that Gibbs speaks so highly of him, and he's climbed the depth chart which indicates to me that Gibbs is gonna use him a lot. He's a bruiser that's going to get a lot of yards after he catches the ball, and he'll even get some running yards I think.

The only rule I have in fantasy football is NEVER, EVER, EVERRRRRRRRRRR pick or play a Cowpuke!!

In the league I played last year (mind you we stunk last year), Jansen Fan had John Hall. And he actually did pretty well with him. In our league you also got points for kickers making tackles too! ;-)

Yeah, I created the league with John Hall in mind. :lol:

points were as follows FG - 1-19 yards 1 point, 20-29 2 pts, 30-39 3 pts, 40-49 4 pts, and 50+ 5 pts. FG missed 1-19 -5 pts. 20-29 -4 pts. 30-39 -3 pts, 40-49 -2 pts 50+ -1 pt. EP made 1 pt, EP missed -3 pts. John Hall must have had 5 50 yard FG's last year.

NikiH · Post by **NikiH** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 10:24 am

Hmmmm he cheated and I still beat his butt.

Anyway I think Cool

ey is going to be highly used as well. We saw that one or two great plays from him in the Falcons game, and I think that must be what coaches have been seeing of him in practice all along.

COZ · Post by **COZ** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 10:24 am

With those picks your really are setting yourself up for a bad week - the Skins bye week. I never draft more than 2 starting players from one team. And never a QB/RB combo. QB/WR sometimes works. I have Portis as a starter and Brunell and Hall as backups. The Cowgirls are my DEF - ugh....

Actually, you never beat me..

I was undefeated until the conference championship. If I would have won that, it would have been JF v NikiH in the super bowl.

I picked

ey to. Lots of people wondered why I did it, but I think Coach Gibbs is going to use Cool

ey alot this year. I also have John Hall and Washington's Defense. I'm trying to aquire Coles via a trade.

Scottskins · Post by **Scottskins** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 10:57 am

this is just sad. I never pick redskins. Unless it was a great value pick. Conflict of interest and all =)

This year, I picked up Coles, Brunell and the Skins Defense.

Defense doesn't really matter except for a few, and I will be starting KC's defense.

Brunnell is Matt Hasselbeck's backup.

Coles is my starter. And I have no problem with that ;-)

See what Gibbs has done to me lol

JPFair · Post by **JPFair** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 10:57 am

I agree with not having too many starters from the one team. I have Cool

ey as a starter, and Brunell and Betts as backups.

:shock: i'd start our D over KC. they were crap last year, and haven't done much to improve.

jaw32 · Post by **jaw32** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 6:19 pm

I grabbed

ey too. There's Gonzalez and after that it isn't worth wasting a high or even medium pick on a TE. Shockey maybe?

So Cool

ey is cool, especially when it looked like Brunell was looking for him during preseason. Brunell will definitely have favorites; when he gets confidence in a receiver, he will go to them, sometimes too much.

Prior to last night's game I benched New England and started The Skins on defense. So far I'm looking good.

Warmother · Post by **Warmother** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 8:19 pm

I had cooley listed as my 6th ranked TE behind,(In order), Gonzales,Heap,Crumpler,Shockey,and Boo Williams. I got Cool

ey in the 9th rd of 12. I thought He was a good value there.

Brandon777 · Post by **Brandon777** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 8:51 pm

I have Kellen WInslow Jr. and Chris Cool

ey on my TE roster. I have Baltimore and Washington for my defense.

We almost have the exact same team. I have Coles. Brunell is backing up Matt Hasselbeck. I have Washington's Defense backing up Baltimore.

Scottskins · Post by **Scottskins** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 9:14 pm

hailskins666, you must not play fantasy football. How good the defense is doesn't matter. What matters is punt returns and kick returns for TDs and defensive TDs. Sacks and interceptions count as well, but they are usually only 1 point each. Washington had 65 points last season, and KC had 115. KC is almost always one of the best defenses to have in fantasy football ;-)

Scottskins · Post by **Scottskins** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 9:17 pm

jaw32,

benching NE this week looks like a good idea. They got 6 points this week. Pretty average. I'm sure the skins will beat that. Only takes one TD =)

Scottskins · Post by **Scottskins** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 9:22 pm

TE's are a waste of draft picks until late rounds anyway. Obviously that doesn't include Tony G, but somebody always reaches for him in the 3rd round, which is way too early to take him, so I never worry about tight ends. If I can get 500 yards and 3 TDs out of my TE's, both of which are taken after the 7th round, I'm happy. Tony G had 10 TDs last season, Boo Williams had 5. Everyone else had 4 or less. Shockey is one of the worst Fantasy TE's there is. He never socres TDs. Decent amount of yards, but that don't mean nadda when other guys get half the yards and 3 or 4 TDs to his 1.

Scottskins · Post by **Scottskins** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 9:26 pm

Brandon777,

nice, who's your main RB? I got Jamal Lewis with the 11th pick

I'm pretty happy with my team =)

Brandon777 · Post by **Brandon777** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 9:58 pm

Actually I have question marks for my RB. I got screwed. I drafted second to last in the 1st round. I have Charlie Garner, Kevin Jones, Eddie George, and Duckett. I hope, (not this Sunday), that Garner has a good year. I hope Kevin Jones has a great rookie year.

if you say so, there are about 28 other teams i'd put in front of KC. low scoring and shut out games can win a week for you. but like you said, i must not have a clue. good luck with your chiefs. i'll stick to my indians.

also, do you really need to make 4 post in a row? can't you just put that in ONE post, and not make the thread so clustered? or are you just padding you post count? :shock:

Scottskins · Post by **Scottskins** » Sat Sep 11, 2004 12:51 am

Brandon777,

Pick up Lamar Gordon if you can next week. I have Bennett(out a couple weeks), and I figure Lamar will do pretty well with Miami.

My RBs are Lewis, Bennett, Steven Jackson and Deshuan Foster. I picked two backups because of their potential. I think Faulk is going to get hurt early. If he does, Jackson will be a huge payoff for me. Foster was sort of a gamble, but with his fumbles he's gonna lose time.

Your guys look alright, no studs(which will hurt any fantasy team since RBs are usually the deciding factor), but you can fix it. Get rid of Eddie George at the very least. He never put up good stats for the Titans, he definitely won't with the cowboys. Kevin Jones and Duckett should be upper 2nd tier guys. Garner is a complete unknown. Might think about picking up Jackson if he's not gone already as well.

Hailskins666-

like I said, it's about FF points, not lowscoring games etc... although shutouts get 6 points in my league as well ;-)

As for the mulitple posting, I gotta catch up somehow don't I?

just kidding

I'll try and clean it up from now on =)
