Any thoughts on how to rehab a dog of a team? Picked it up after the draft and there are 6 keepers on each team. Expect to win no more than a game, maybe two if a miracle winter storm hits (LOL) but think I can learn alot by trying this and become a better player. What position would you try to build the franchise around?
Looking at your scoring system and the Fleaflicker projections, QBs, RBs, and DEFs are your priorities. Andre Johnson is your league's #1 receiver, and he's only 26th overall. Larry Fitzgerald projects next at #39, so WRs are not as valuable. I think in the long run you'll be OK in RBs-Wells, Thomas, Jones and Davis will all be productive for a long time, barring injury. Hasselbeck strangely does very well in odd numbered years-Pro Bowl in 2003, 2005, 2007, so he should be productive this year. I'm not a fan of Orton, and he has the same bye as Hasselbeck. Leinart is iffy even for the future. I would drop both of them, pick up Quinn and Stafford-they'll both be good next year and beyond. Quinn will start in Cleveland so you can use him as your bye week QB-Stafford is week 7.
The Jets are a good D-I would look at the week 9 matchups to pick up a replacement. What I always do is drop my worst player(in this case it'll be a WR), and rotate my TE, K, and DEF replacements, then pick up a potential keeper when I'm done.

Any and all thoughts are appreciated.
