My Fantasy Football Team, 2008

It's here! My 2008 Fantasy Football roster

1. Drew Brees
I'm so so on this first pick, had an off season last season, but still may have some explosiveness left. I'm hoping they don't ever hand to Bush, but rather throw a lot of passes out in the flat. People were grabbing RBs as if they were George Michael in a men's bathroom.
2. Frank Gore
Gah, I hated this one. Fleaflicker had him so high and I wasn't sure about anyone else, so I was kinda forced into it. I guess with Mike Martz throwing more, the Niners may have a more balanced O and the fact that they have no one nearly as good helps him be in there on more downs...
3. Edgerrin James
Another one I didn't feel quite good about. I get the feeling the Cards are on the rise, so hopefully he can resurrect his game at his ripe age and low IQ.
4. Steve Smith
Another of my aging stars. Here's to hoping that the rest of my team can cover him while his suspension plays out. Has great upside, especially how him and Delhomme played the first half of last year.
5. Brandon Marshall
I love this pick... I think he's poised for a breakout year. Who the hell else are they going to throw to?
6. Joey Galloway
Another grandpa, but still explosive. Hey, I needed another WR and he seems to have some weeks where he's fantastic.
7. Kellen Winslow
With Horseballs throwing, I like this pick.
8. John Kasay
Zzz...
9. Vikings Team (D/ST)
I think I was misled a bit by Fleaflicker's rating system for this one. ESPN had them as 7th, while FF had them as the #1 or #2 defense. They're aging, so they fit right in with the rest of my geriatrics. Hopefully Purple Jesus will help a ball-control offense so they can rest on the sidelines playing bingo.

Extras:
10. Brett Favre
I loooove this pick at this spot. I think he may be a steal, if Brees gets hurt. I think he has starter potential, maybe his career will be reborn in NY.
11. Kevin Smith (RB - Det)
Ah, I wanted a backup RB... Hey, it's better than nothing. Did Kitna guarantee wins this year?
12. Baltimore Ravens (D/ST)
Also long in the tooth. Maybe if they're playing an inept offense I could sub them for the Vikes.

Update:
Dropped Ravens D for Clayton
Because of the suspensions to Smith and Marshall, I picked up Mark Clayton of the Ravens and dumped the Ravens D. Now that Derrick Mason has lost his lover Steve McNair, maybe Clayton will get the bulk of the catches.
