Team 1.
QB Matt Hasselbeck
WR Larry Fitzgerald
WR Andre Johnson
WR Greg Jennings
RB Ryan Grant
RB Kevin Smith
TE Zach Miller
K Nate Kaeding
DEF Green Bay
Roster Moves: I swapped Schaub out for Hasselbeck, Schaub has to prove himself to me now after that terrible performance. Andre might suffer a little, but there is no way you can bench that guy. Added Carnell Williams and Green Bay Def, dropped Anthony Gonzales and Chester Taylor. Gonzo is going to miss significant time, and Cadillac looks like he did a few years ago and is worth a bench spot. I don't see Taylor having a huge game until AP goes down, and I don't see AP going down against Detroit. Once again, my WRs are going to make or break the team, it will be interesting to see how Fitz deals with triple coverage all day with Boldin and Breaston banged up and less effective. Hightower could be poised for another monster game in the passing department.
My opponent has Drew Brees, so this game could be very close, or he could completely blow me out.
Projected Points: 96. MOV: 9
Team 2
QB Matt Ryan
WR Larry Fitz
WR Calvin Johnson
RB Ryan Grant
RB Kevin Smith
TE Zach Miller
W/R Darren McFadden
K Nate Kaeding
DEF Atlanta
Roster moves: McFadden gets the nod over Donald Brown at the flex spot. I took a chance on Brown and it didn't cost me, but the Raiders are showing that they can use a 2 RB system effectively and that Run DMC has value. Plus he is playing a soft D in KC. Added Atlanta Def and WR Earl Bennett, dropped Chicago Def and Jerious Norwood. Urlacher's injury makes the Bears D unplayable in my opinion, and Atlanta really wowed me. Sure it was against the Dolphins, but I think I picked up a talented squad. Bennett is an option for Week 4 when I get decimated by byes. He got the most targets from Cutler and will probably emerge as their go to receiver. I wanted to lock him up early and Norwood wasn't going to do anything huge for awhile. I guess it really only makes sense to handcuff players if you own them. I am also keeping my eye on Mark Sanchez. Another good game out of him and he'll be my backup over Cassel. I'll need a QB in week 4 for Atl's bye.
I'm up against Peyton Manning and AP, so this one could get ugly. It will be interesting to see who benefits the most from Gonzo's injury.
Projected Points: 93.61. MOV: -4.27
Team 3
QB Joe Flacco
WR Randy Moss
WR Marques Colston
WR Nate Burleson
RB Kevin Smith
RB Darren McFadden
TE Brent Celek
K John Carney
DEF San Diego
Roster Moves: I claimed Celek off of waivers as soon as I could. I couldn't risk losing a good TE option. Good riddance Anthony Fasano. Next, I swapped David Garrard and Felix Jones for Joe Flacco and Nate Burleson. It was a toss up between Bennett and Burleson, but I thought diversity would be a better plan at the start of the year. Justin Gage was also considered, but I just have a good feeling about Seattle's passing attack this year. Joe Flacco looks like a stud in the making and is just head and shoulder's above Garrard. I even decided to start Joe over Schaub. Schaub really left a sour taste in my mouth. I might be overreacting, but at least Schaub is still on the team if and when he returns to form.
The big news on this team is the LT injury. It was a risk to draft him and I even handcuffed him with Sproles so I might be OK in the long run, but there is no way I'm starting Sproles against Baltimore this week. McFadden should get plenty of good looks against KC, and that will be a key to me pulling this one out. I don't feel like any of my opponent's players will explode against me this week, so I'm pretty sure I can tip the scales in my favor.
Projected Points 87. MOV -1
Kevin Smith vs the great Minn run defense is going to be the key matchup across all my teams. I also need Larry Fitz to produce in tough coverage.
