I'll have to pick a Kicker, but just after trying to grab a slighly better WR (and a backup RB) in a multiplayer trade including Chambers, Thomas and maybe Crabtree (???).

Who to drop for a kicker ? Dixon, Mike Williams, Golden Tate ???
Vinatieri is still available.

Team looks very good right now. You made some great trades. Yes you need a backup QB and I think you might want a higher scoring D than MIA. MIA was a little like WAS last year in that it was a great D on the field, didn't yield many points but no fantasy points either. A good FFL D gets lots of TO's and sacks, who cares how many points they give up.

I like the K strategy, get one the day before the first game. Also watch the WW and total points for K's, often times after 3 or even 5 weeks one of the top 3 K by points is still on the WW just because nobody pays them any attention. Their points count just like the real players!

Your team is pretty solid Drew Brees is a great QB unless you picked him over Aaron Rodgers which is a bad decision. Ryan Mathews and Jahvid Best both have a huge upisde but still having two rookie running backs is a little scary no matter how good they could be. I love Ryan Mathews though and have him on my team also. I don't like the Berrian for T.O. trade because I guarantee that Favre comes back and Berrian is the Minnesota's number one reciever on the depth chart even if he's not the best. Plus I really don't like T.O. even though he will have a much better QB throwing to him this year you never know if T.O. will work out whatever team he is on. I love the Jonathon Stewart for Brandon Marshall trade i don't know how you pulled that off Stewart is a great RB put splitting carries evenly with DeAngelo Williams isn't a good situation for fantasy. Brandon Marshall is arguably the most skilled WR in the NFL i don't think he will lead the WR's in fantasy points put probably top 3 definitely top 5. Good trade two get crabtree because you didn't need any of those 3 guys though crabtree hasn't proven his fantasy value yet especially since San Fransisco have a run heavy offense. Your third reciever is up for grabs Golden Tate could rake in a goo amount of TD's but I'm not sure how often he will be targeted And Thomas has some upside but im not sure if I like either of them even as a 3rd WR. Miami Defense is OK but doesn't put up a lot of fantasy points consistently you might want to trade for a better defense. Dallas Clark is a great TE no worries there. You are right about the kicker they really don't matter so just grab someone before week 1.
