Team One

Team Two

Analysis: Given the heavy emphasis on Bronco players, this team cannot afford for Denver’s OL losses during the offseason to adversely affect that offense. The RB’s look strong (especially if this team’s No. 3 back, Bennett, becomes a Marcus Allen-like scorer behind a strong Chief offensive line). This squad is very deep at QB. How much production the WR’s provide is a key for this team. If Richey sticks, this club has a ton of PK firepower.

Analysis: Loaded up at RB with two picks in Round One. Starting RB’s better not get hurt because this team’s backups don’t figure to score enough to be every-week fantasy performers. High-risk WR’s must pan out for this team to be successful. Can Moss consistently score with so many other WR’s in Minnesota? Can Jett repeat last year’s scoring binge? Will Westbrook ever deliver? Johnson was good value.

Team Three

Team Four

Analysis: Favre is obviously going to be a big-time scorer. Anderson and Rice were nice value picks. The receiving trio of Rice/Dudley/Fryar is solid. The key here will be squeezing enough production out of the No. 2 RB spot. Murrell, Rhett and Shehee all seem better-suited to be No. 3 or No. 4 fantasy RB’s, so it is essential that one of them exceeds expectations.

Analysis: Great value in Rounds One and Two. Kordell Stewart was the last of the "Big Four," and I thought Moore would go a little earlier in the second round than he did. It is critical to this team that Allen and Smith prove they are not over-the-hill fantasy performers. If they aren’t big-time scorers, Stewart has the potential to pick up some of the slack. If two of these three RB’s produce, this team should be very good.

Team Five

Team Six

Analysis: High-risk, high-return first two rounds. I’m a big believer in Dillon, but he must show he can do it for an entire season. McNair was a big-time fantasy scorer last season, but will he run for eight TD’s again? This team needs Hearst to be a 10-TD scorer, not the six-TD guy he was a year ago. WR points must come by committee since none were taken until the fourth round, but were then taken in volume.

Analysis: Starting RB’s are very good, but an injury to Martin or Smith could kill this team since the backups are iffy. If Glenn finally becomes a consistent TD scorer then receiving starters will be quite good. If not, there will be a hole in the starting lineup. Moon and Chmura were great value picks.

Team Seven

Team Eight

Analysis: Moved out of first round to pick up an extra premium pick. Brown and Sharpe must rebound from subpar fantasy years, and Bruce must stay healthy this year for WR corps to come through. Faulk and Dunn scored like No. 2 fantasy RB’s last season, so one of them needs to step up into a No. 1 role for this team. If Faulk or Dunn get hurt, can Avery or Staley be regular producers? Boom-or-bust team.

Analysis: Running back looks very strong (it would help this team immensely if Bettis takes back some of the red-zone scores that Kordell Stewart hoarded last season). Means and Holcombe must produce as a tag-team No. 2 RB. For this team to be among the elite, the wide receivers must produce despite no picks in the first three rounds. It will take some of the pressure off the WR’s if Brunell finally has a huge, breakthrough fantasy year.

Team Nine

Team Ten

Analysis: The first four picks all have the potential to be very good scorers. I was a little surprised that Alstott didn’t go earlier in the third round. It would help this team greatly if Randy Moss does not take away too many of Carter’s TD catches. If Plummer delivers at quarterback (and stays healthy behind a Swiss-cheese offensive line) and Carl Pickens rebounds to his old fantasy-football form, then this team could have a very nice starting unit.

Analysis: Levens was terrific value. Levens’ holdout and Robert Smith’s track record make injuries a concern. Jeff George should score plenty. Make-or-break position is WR. It would help immensely if someone from the Blackwell/Lewis/Ricks trio turns potential into major production.

Team Eleven

Team Twelve

Analysis: Starting running backs should be very productive, although, if Abdul-Jabbar gets hurt or benched, there could be a problem (a Watters injury is somewhat protected by the Green pick). How much production the receivers provide is a key. (Can Moore live up to last season? Can Johnson become a consistent scorer?) Waited longer than most teams to grab a quarterback yet still did very well at the position.

Analysis: Major firepower at wide receiver that no other team can come close to matching. But taking wide receivers in the first two rounds comes at a price. That price is that this RB kiddie corps better grow up in a hurry. This group of RB’s says boom-or-bust like you rarely see. If two of them boom, then this team will be a force. If three or four of them bust, this team could have serious problems. This team’s quarterbacks look to be ordinary at best.
