Bears' receiving corps gets makeover: Rashied Davis out as starter December 23, 2008 Rashied Davis didn't hide his frustration leading into Monday night's game as criticism of his play mounted. Imagine how the Bears' receiver feels now after being benched. Davis, who entered the game with a team-high seven drops, was replaced in the starting lineup by Brandon Lloyd. Davis had started the previous five games and 12 of the team's 14. "It's not easy to be sitting back and watching when you know you're capable enough to be out there playing," Davis said. "I just did my job. I thank God that I was able to go out and have some opportunities to make some plays [on…

How that Davis and D.A are goneto the Lions and Vikings we need to go out and get M Floyd. I think three of the undrafted free agents will be good pick ups Cobb,Adams and Sanzenbacher have a chance to fit in with the Bears

Sanzenbacher did ok on specials teams this past week and it looks like that was the final nail in the coffin. Now about that other WR competing for the last roster spot....Joe Anderson I think he ends up on our practice squad.

We had our fantasy league draft yesterday, 10 team PPR 16 round draft. I drafted 4th Start - 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE), 1 Def/st, 1 Kicker, 7 bench spots. Below is my full draft, current starters for week 1 are in bold. What do you think? I like my backs, I think I'm a little weak on WR and TE. QBs went early so I ended up taking Kapernick, but the early rush on QB allowed me to nab Forte in the second. I'm considering trading James Jones, DeSean Jackson or maybe even Cobb and or a RB to upgrade either WR or TE. All in all I feel like it's a solid team. Far better than last years draft. QB1 - Colin Kaepernick vs GB QB2 - Cutler vs Cincy …

So, my draft was last week and I'm just curious on what you guys think of my draft... i think it turned out really really good for me... here it is by round keep in mind i had the last pick: Rd1. Steven Jackson Rd2.Aaron Rodgers Rd.3 Maurice Jones-Drew Rd.4 Roddy White Rd. 5 Montee Ball Rd.6 Rob Gronkowski Rd.7 Tom Brady Rd.8 Wes Welker Rd.9 Mike Wallace Rd.10 Anquan Boldin Rd.11 Kenny Britt Rd. 12 Pittsburg D/ST Rd. 13 James Jones Rd. 14 Martellus Bennett Rd. 15 Dan Bailey So, what do you all think on a scale of 1 -10... 1 being crap 5 being okay and 10 being hot damn winner winner chicken dinner!!! :-)

Sorry to hijack board space with this. This is for a 12 team standard league with a flex position. I picked from the 11 spot. Also note that I'll get 2nd position for the breakout free agents. QB- Eli Manning, Sam Bradford RB – Matt Forte, Chris Johnson, Lamar Miller WR – Calvin Johnson, Antonio Brown, Cecil Shorts, JoshGordon, Kendall Wright TE – Rob Gronkowski, Martellus Bennett K – Robbie Gould D/ST - Bengals I'm hopeful...

10 team PPR draft We start 1QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE), 1 Def/st, 1 K QB - Stafford RB - Forte, Ellington, Fred Jackson, Terrance West WR - Jordy Nelson, Vincent Jackson, Marques Colston, Torrey Smith, Wes Welker, DeAndre Hopkins TE - Jordan Reed, Zach Ertz D/ST - Cardinals K - Mason Crosby I like my team overall I do feel my weakest spot is RB but it seemed like when I would pick there was better value at WR and I'd already gotten my top two RB's an like the upside potential of West and Fred Jackson just keeps outperforming Spiller. Som trades I'm considering: Colston for Ben Tate would give me both backs should Tate sta…

I just drafted in a 10 team league....here's the team (no flex & have to have a 1 bench for every slot) QB - Brady (Cutler) RB - Sproles, Ridley (R. Bush) WR - H. Nicks, A. Brown (R. Moss) TE - Jimmy Graham (Kendricks) K - Crosby (Kaeding) D - BAL (DET)

I'm curious to get your opinions on how I drafted. 10 team 8 starter (1Q, 1RB. 3 WR/TE, 1 RB/WR/TE, 1 K, 1DST)/6 bench Auction draft. Keeper, keep 3. Q Andrew Luck (K) Q Eli Manning R Steven Jackson R David Wilson R Giovani Bernard W Brandon Marshall (K) W Julio Jones (K) W AJ Green W Wes Welker W Jordy Nelson K Stephen Gostkowski K Robbie Gould D CIN D STL

Well I've critiqued a couple FF teams this morning so it's only fair y'all get a chance to return the favour with 1 of mine. We start QB,WR,WR,RB,RB,WR/RB,K,DEF, Dplayer,DB,LB Bonus points for yards, return yards count QB Peyton Manning (Ind - QB) WR Larry Fitzgerald (Ari - WR) WR Vincent Jackson (SD - WR) RB Matt Forte (Chi - RB) RB Kevin Smith (Det - RB) TE John Carlson (Sea - TE) W/R Wes Welker (NE - WR) Marshawn Lynch (Buf - RB) Torry Holt (Jac - WR) Devin Hester (Chi - WR) Knowshon Moreno (Den - RB) Kyle Orton (Den - QB) K Kris Brown (…

Was reading a presser today that upon Ratliff's release from Chicago, that precipitated the team to call Dallas on a precautionary nature. Given the volatility of the release, Ratliff's history with Dallas and apparently still maintaining a residence near Dallas' training facility... made sense. Have to hand it to Pace, Fox and some degree McCaskey with their dealing with not only Ratliff but with McDonald earlier this season. Although some would argue that the McDonald situation was nearly self-inflicted, they still addressed it rather than let it malinger. And with Ratliff they addressed it rapidly rather than let it make a mess of a very 'young' and relatively…

They're pretty much all big games now aren't they?

This is very positive for a rookie coach. It seemed like the team had a bunch of thugs on it when I watched them play the Ravens last year. I guess Billick was doing a better job than he got credit for.

The rumors that have been swirling the past couple of days have come true and the Bills have traded Lee Evans to the Ravens for a 4th round pick.
