No one will ever win a fantasy league with Rudi Johnson and Julius Jones as their starting RBs.
1. I can understand taking one of those stud guys instead of a RB, but not both. The dropoff after the bigtime RBs is just so dramatic that you get fucked if you don't join in with everyone else and draft a RB (probably two of your first three picks).
2. I never agreed with the QB, WR from the same team theory. Especially as your two top picks. It's those two guys (your top two picks regardless of who they are) that are going to win or lose a week for you. When you leverage yourself completely to Culpepper throwing TDs to Moss, it's going to boil down to: Anytime Moss gets shut down, you will lose every week.
3. Brady isn't a bad backup for a 10-team league, but he's overrated this year. He's going to lose redzone passing touchdowns to Dillon
4. Pollard isn't even the starting TE for Indy. McMichael should be your #1 TE. Dallas Clark is going to be getting that. Gates should be available in a 10-team league and will probably put up better numbers than both those guys
5. No reason to have a backup TE, backup D, and a backup kicker (unless you start both of them. Other than that, there's no need to have a backup. kickers, defenses, and TEs. Ks and TEs are hit-or-miss from week to week, why waste a roster spot on one of them. Defenses you can just spot start against whoever's playing Miami, SD, Arizona, or Chicago. Pointless. Dump them and pick up someone who might save your rushing game (i.e. the backups for injury prone guys like Faulk, Holmes, and Taylor) or some sleeper WRs who you could, if desperate trade Moss and put them starting (Fitzgerald, McCairens?)
6. Your RBs are for shit. Not a one of them is safe in their job. You need at least one you can depend on. Since no one will trade studs (since apparently everyone except you realizes how crucial they are) try and get someone like Brown (TENN), T Jones, Westbrook (though it's probably from other guys in Philly and you have no chance of trading for him), and Dillon
7. I'd recommend trading one of Culpepper or Moss to diversify yo team nigga and upgrade your severely deficient RB corps.
8. There is no way you finish ahead of 5th. You migth have high points, but your team will be way to inconsistent
9. You did shitty. Real shitty.
