obviously im stacked at RB... i have mixed feelings about bulger, and i think my group of receivers is decent considering i went for gonzalez. what do u guys think?

[Panzram]

I tend to agree. I like Bulger but St. Louis has been an inconsistent team at best lately. I'm with TC. I think you should try to upgrade Keyshawn and McCown. Lewis is a great RB but as most of us know he won't be here all year so just ride him as long as he's around and then try to get the best FA around.

well fred taylor is more than a legit number 2 rb. he will be fine in lewis's absence as long as he stays healthy, and he has for the last 2 seasons. also, i expect good number from keyshawn this yr as long as he doesnt get CUT w/ 6 weeks to play like last year. (was it 6 weeks? i forget) maybe i should try to upgrade mccown but i dont know how much it is worth to go for a better backup qb. maybe if i get my hands on a top qb bulger can be my backup.

david carr and jake plummer are free agents. should i go w/ one of them over mccown? ive heard good things about carr this season.

[>TC<]

I'd take Carr over McCown.

Taylor is a very good backup, so you're covered there.

As far as KJ goes, good luck with that. If your league gives points for receptions, he should be okay. Just don't expect big numbers from him. He's never scored many TDs before and there is no reason to expect that to change at this point in his career, especially under Parcells.

just picked up calico off FREE AGENTS! couldnt believe he was there... apparently i had overlooked it. i dropped my second defensive player, bulluck. now my receiving looks a little deeper. would u go so far as starting calico over keyshawn?

[>TC<]

If he's playing at home, I'd start him over Keyshawn.

Calico's looked good in the pre-season, so keep an eye on him the rest of the way. He very well could be your starter by opening day.

yea he could really end up being a steal for me. i have drew bennet on my bench also. if calico has success, do u think that will take away from bennet?
