Who has a better fantasy team?Team A or Team B. A 12 Team keeper league. I'm only going to include QB's,RB's,and WR's because in my league K.TE,and D isn't that important.


Team A's starters:
QB-M.Vick
RB-Duece
RB-M.Faulk
WR-Santana Moss
WR-L.Fitzgerald
WR-I.Bruce

Team B's Starters:
QB-M.Hasselbeck
RB-E.James
RB-K.Barlow
WR-P.Burress
WR-J.Porter
WR-K.Robinson

Those teams are almost dead even, but I think the nod goes to Team A because of Deuce McAllister and Santana Moss.

Moss is overrated i think.McCarians is going to take away some of Moss's numbers. Moss was horrible after the 7 game stretch of TD's.

Also L.Coles is also extremely overrated. The guy is Troy Brown in his prime. Don't draft him early because his broken toe hasn't fully recovered. Even without the the injury his TD totals aren't anything special over the years I think his hype is higher then his true potential.

Freak

Sure, Moss is probably overrated after his breakout 2003 campaign, but my point is that he's the best receiver of those two teams you listed, just as Deuce is the best back. I still think Moss is gonna be deadly this year, especially with a healthy Pennington. McCareins might take away a few red-zone TDs (well I'm sure he will), but Moss is a constant big-play touchdown threat, and McCareins might also help draw away coverages... it works both ways.

As for Coles, yeah I've never dug the hype on him either really. He's skilled but gets hampered by little injuries all the time, and isn't particularly tough. I don't know how he'll do in Gibbs' offense this year, especially with no starting quarterback to build a repoire with.

Where the hell did the talk of Lavernous Coles come from? Did I miss something?

Crusty, it is wishful thinking that McCariens will even be that good. Moss is a hell of a lot faster than Troy Brown ever was. If Moss has Browns' hands then you would be looking at one hell of a wide out.


P.S. Freak the backups, key word is backups, not starters for Faulk and Vick are Eddie George and Donovan McNabb. Not too shabby backups for a 12 team league. No? Insurance.

I think the teams are very close, but I give the slight nod to A

Freak

That's irrelevant, because he just doesn't.

And there is plenty "shabby" about having Eddie George as your backup running back. The guy might not crack 600 yards this year.

I assume this is your team we're discussing here...?

Well, Freak......considering there are 12 teams and 2 RB's that need to start for each fantasy team. That leaves us with only 8 teams where we can pluck a starting RB from, thus Eddie George is pretty damn good.

Right? And yes its my team we are talking about. 8)

Didnt you get all defensive when I used that same argument for David Boston and him being injured all the time?

:roll:

I thought it was a comparison between Troy Brown and Santana Moss. Maybe I misunderstood, and it was actually a point about Moss' potential, I don't know.

As for Eddie George, I still think he's a poor option in your situation, and definitely not something to boast about. Assuming the running backs for 24 NFL teams are starting in your league, that still leaves a good handful of guys I'd rather have over Eddie George (including Julius Jones).
