    My Skybox FF team....aka....Motorcity Maulers:

    Tebow, Tim QB FL
    Locker, Jake QB WA
    Unga, Harvey RB BYU
    Lucky, Marlon RB NE
    Barnett, Marcus WR CIN
    McKnight, Joe RB USC
    Murphy, Louis WR FL
    Hazelton, Vidal WR USC
    Graham, Garrett TE WI
    Hernandez, Aaron TE FL
    Thompson, Deonte WR FL
    Sturgis, Caleb K FL
    Kansas DST
    Georgia DST

    I have to think that I drafted before Gator Bill because he wound up with Graham Harrell of Tex Tech as his Qb. I had Harrell second on my Qb list and I had the Qb position as the highest in the draft order thinking if I didn't get Tebow at least I would have a hell of a Qb.

    So....my team has a few Gators as Tom's has some Tenn flavor, BT landed Beanie Wells and Robiskie and Scott is on a couple of those Aggies.

    All teams look to have some horses but if I was BT I'd be looking for another TE as CI is out for the year.

    What does Empty WR and Empty RB mean? I see that we all have those.

    You need to click on "set lineup" and then make active the Rbs or Wrs you want and those slots will be filled.

    You can change as often as you like up until gametime.

    Interesting pick for RB. Lucky was a 4 star pick with 1 1/2 star production. What was your reasoning?

    He had good stats last year and Neb is supposed to run the ball even more this year with Pellini.

    I had Unga ranked higher of course and some others ahead of Lucky but that's where he fell.

    I had some receivers like Harvin pretty high up there but TTom snatched him away.

    Here is the link to all rosters:

    I like Barnstormin, BT and Bombers as the best looking teams... on paper.

    OK AJ...here's the deal.....

    Double or nothing I finish 3rd or higher in the league of 10....

    Whadda ya say?

    Overall, I am happy with my team. I think my QB will have a slow start but will come on strong about mid season. I have excellent depth at WR. I know my kicker is money in the bank. I believe that my defense will come through for me all year.

    Thanks Terry!

    I'm guessing I wasn't one of the first to pick... I had Goodson in my top RB's, but Javorski was a ways down as was McCoy at TE.

    I hope Coach Sherman wll be tossing the rock to the hybrid TE as much as he has hinted he will!

    Well... I think I gotta keep him even tho it really galls me!

    That's the price I pay for taking defense early. I know that's probably not a smart way to go in fantasy games, but by God it's in my DNA!

    Now I've got two good ones to swap around! :D


    Agreed BT. That was the only top pick I got, so I'm glad I bumped it up a round.

    Scott,

    I'd be happy to take that Red "Pa-Raider" off your hands if you throw in the Buckeye D to compensate.....! 8)

    I don't know where I drafted but I didn't revise the rankings.

    I think I am happy with my QB.

    Your Qb is top shelf and will get you tons of fantasy points.

    Mine aint half bad either and I will be seeing most of his games. :D

    Check out this link on one my receivers...

    You could look at my receivers and wonder why I forsook all appearances of being unbiased when I landed UF's Murphy and Thompson to fill out my roster and then as my TE took Hernandez....but check this out from CFN on national team unit rankings on receivers:

    #1. Florida
    From the speed and quickness of Percy Harvin and Deonte Thompson, to the potential of Carl Moore and Riley Cooper, to the steady production of Louis Murphy, to the talented Aaron Hernandez, this group has it all. If everyone can stay healthy, which isn't a given after already losing top tight end Cornelius Ingram, this will be a devastating corps of playmakers. There are too many weapons to cover.

    Nothing wrong with being biased when your players are good! :p


    I was a homer with my RB's.

    Although Javorski Lane won't wrack up a lot of yards, he's good for 15-20 TD's, and Michael Goodson should absolutely RIP in the new offense.
    (no more standing in the backfield waiting 3 seconds before getting the ball!)

    My worry is that we will lose some ground TD's to passing since we now have a staff that understands it is legal to use the middle of the field, and you can hit a receiver while they are MOVING. :roll:
