QB - McNair, McNown, and Culpepper RB - E. James, R. WIlliams, Dayne, JJ Johnson, and my super-sleeper M. Basnight WR - M. RObinson, E. Moulds, J. Horn, T. Holt, and P. Price TE - Walls, and Sharpe!! K - Matt Stover DEF - C. Kennedy, T. Spikes, B. Dawkins, and P. Sparks There will have to be some tweaking (at some point I’ll need another kicker to cover the bye week), but all in all I feel pretty good about this bunch. That is, until half of them go down with achilles tendon and knee injuries!! ---

Well, that’ll teach me to leave the board for longer than 12 hours. I miss the chance to sign up in the Sandbox league and I’ll be kicking myself for weeks to come. I will win Yahoo, I will win Yahoo. ---

“This game is temporarily offline?!?!?!?!?” What the . . . . Okay, from memory: ``` QB: ``` Jeff Blake Jeff Garcia Drew Bledsoe RB: Marshall Faull Terrell Davis Jamal Lewis Thomas Jones WR: Germain Crowell Joey Galloway Ed McCaffrey Ike Hilliard Carl Pickens TE: Freddy Jones (ugh) K: Seattle Washington (who cares about their names – they’re kickers!) DL: Lance Johnstone Reggie McKenzie (not anymore) LB: errr – I forget. Greg Biekert, I think. DB: Donnie Abraham Willie Williams A little too much invested in rehabs and rookies for comfort, but it might have a big upside. Of course, it might also crash and burn in glorious technicolor. ---

Omni - I made the Sandbox league a 10-teamer because 1. I assumed only about 20 people will follow through and commit to being in a league-- thus, 10 for Sandbox and 10 for Yahoo. With what I’ve seen in this thread, that number might be a little higher, but not much. 2. Ever been in a 15- or 20-team league? It’s not as much fun, IMHO. Starting another league is as simple as a few mouse clicks and a few typed lines, folks. As for my draft, I think I’ll be OK. All of my QBs are good, but have a tendency to get injured: Brunell, Batch and Chandler. I’ve got Duce Staley, Curtis Martin and Priest Holmes among my RBs; at WR I’ve got Westbrook, Toomer, that good young guy from the Browns, and Tony Martin. Pretty deep. Tony Gonzalez at TE, which is good. And on defense I got my main bad-ass from last year, Ray Lewis. Anybody who doesn’t like it, Ray’ll have his boys take care of ya. Sandbox league seems pretty balanced, post-draft. Now’s when the stragedy starts. ---

Damn! Newbie-ish here - saw this too late. Just joined my work league via Sandbox - same group as last year. Sandbox does an awesome job (esp. since it’s free). The trades and waiver system keeps you on your toes; the draft is only the beginning. You, can, FYI join more than one league in Sandbox from one computer. I did it last year just by registering w/ two email addresses, and then using IE for one league and Netscape for the other (so the cookies remained set). Y’all have a great time. Post some of your better-trash talk here, perhaps? 🙂 ---

Count me in on the Yahoo league whenever it gets started. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-fantasy-football/26829.md?page=3)
