I'm looking for feedback regarding my fantasy roster. I went with a pretty unfamiliar strategy going into my draft and really like what I ended up with. I want upside! I started the trend by keeping Charles and Greene. I then sealed up all my top positions and tried to scoop up the trendiest sleepers I could find. Among them the gems I really wanted were Scott, Nicks and Jones.

As is the case with a lot of trendy sleepers, after week 1 a couple of them are inching towards the chopping block. I almost dropped WR Laurent Robinson for QB Michael Vick in hopes of hitting a home run for Manning's week 7 bye but didn't quite send the roster adjustment in quick enough.

Even after a great performance against the Patriots, I am really concerned about Chad Ochocinco. I see him as being my weakest starting position and hope to find a great security option in case Ochocinco slips back into the realm of mediocrity. Hopefully Nicks continues to put up great numbers or perhaps I can trade a running back (which I see as my biggest strength) for a competent pass catcher.

So please...what do you think?!

You do seem to be stacked @ RB so there could be some good trade bait there. Too bad Greene is in the doghouse b/c of those fumbles. You better hope that he doesn't fumble it again on Sunday or he will be on the sidelines until LT starts to slow down later on in the season. As for Ochocinco, I think he will have a solid year. It wont be his best to date on account of his age, but with TO drawing attention (rightfully so, IMO) I think things should go well for him this year. I do foresee games in which TO has more productivity but with Carson Palmer's arm, I think there will be enough to go around to keep both diva's panties free from a bundle.

Which MIke Williams do you have? Jacoby Jones may not be worth keeping around. Anybody on the heap to possibly pick up?

Solid team--I would hold onto Nicks, I think things could be good for him. I don't view him as a sell high.

Which MIke Williams do you have?

Sorry I should have clarified. I have Williams from TB.

True you are stacked with RB talent but there are some concerns, I share similar problems with my team. First the dreaded time share with Greene/Charles/Williams, Scott is a good player but until Benson falls off (which I'm sure he will) you can really use him. The good news Bradshaw's situation just go really good (because Jacobs is an idiot) and Steven Jackson if he can stay healthy is usually money. I like Nicks a lot this year and I think Ocho will be ok. But if you feel you need a more solid option at WR then try and sell high on Nicks. I'm sure you could trade Nicks and a RB for stud Wideout.
