Results in no specific order:
1. Clinton Portis
2. Reggie Wayne
3. Darren McFadden
4. Santonio Holmes
5. Donovan McNabb
6. Ted Ginn Jr. (Returning points are a lot in the league)
7. Robbie Gould
Defenders:
1. Mario Williams
2. Aaron Kampman
3. Julian Peterson
4. Kerry Rhodes (For you jets)
5. Nate Clements
6. Will Witherspoon
Reserves:
1. Nate Burleson (returning ability)
2. Jeff Garcia
3. Chris Johnson
4. Limas Sweed
Defensive Reserves:
1. Julius Peppers
2. Ray Lewis
3. O.J. Atogwe
4. Adalius Thomas
Tell me what you guys think.

I am also currently attempting to trade McNabb and a defender for Drew Brees.
Nice work again, faulk. It was especially a smart pick to take Kerry Rhodes.
Santonio Holmes is my "sleeper of the year" -- I love that pick. I believe he is going to be an elite WR in his 3rd. season. Along with Reggie Wayne, you have an awesome WR tandem.
As for your RBs, Portis is obviously solid. If McFadden can get the starting job in Oakland, you are in great shape here as well.
I also like Julius Peppers as a Defensive reserve. He has looked pretty good in camp so far. He might return to some of his earlier form in this 2008 season.
As with your last draft, your QB is the weak spot. It could be really bad if McNabb has no healthy WRs on his team. I absolutely LOVE your trade idea to get Drew Brees -- it would be worth it IMO. Good luck with that trade. If you make it, your team is going to be tough to beat.
Nice work again.
I like it, Faulk. Upgrading to Brees would be really nice and as Jets said, would make your squad a tough matchup but even with McNabb that's probably still going to be the case for your opponents week in, week out. That defense is very good and you have very good spare parts that could be useful in trades such as the potential trade for Brees. Also agree with Jets in regards to Holmes, I think he's going to have a terrific season.
I like the team overall. The one weakness is at RB for sure. If either McFadden or Chris Johnson (who, as you know, I like a lot), can get the starting job, you're in good shape, but both need to pan out or you're in trouble from a depth perspective.
Outside of that, this is a great team. very nicely done.
NICE JOB!! IDP leagues are really tuff. Drafting 8-12 doesnt make it better, but you made it look easy. If mcnabb stays off the medical table, he can lead you.
But if you get brees in a trade, you will be a force. What impressed me the most is the depth you have on both sides of the ball. Benches win championships, and you got it. Great job, and also like the others, great pick up on holmes. WELL DONE!!
Good job Faulk. I think Portis will be solid this year, and you have a ton of potential tied up with your other RB's. I like your WR's alot. I agree with Jets that Holmes is going to have a big year. I also like Burleson this year and think he will have huge numbers. I'm not in love with Mcnabb. Hopefully you can upgrade. I don't really know much about IDP leagues but the Defenders you got are hard to argue with.
Good luck!
