Quarterbacks-
Player Pennington, Chad-
First Week Opponent- @Kansas City Chiefs
Salary- $6.15Million
Looks like a good pick however Chiefs defense is improved and I don't know if Pennington will have his timing down with his new recievers by the first week. It's not the best choice but it's solid.
Player- Roethlisberger, Ben
First Week Opponent- Titans
Salary- $5.73M
Ben doesn't put up big fantasy numbers.
Running Backs-
Player- Jordan, Laman
First Week Opponent- @New England Patriots
Salary- $5.50M
I think Jordan could be a surprise pick. With the Patriots sticking two new linebackers in the middle and with Randy Moss and Jerry Porter drawing attention I think Jordan could get a lot of big gains.
Player- Jones, Thomas
First Week Opponent- @Washington Redskins
Salary- $4.50M
For the first week of the season I think this is a good pick but Cedric Benson is the main guy for Chicago. Jones should still get some touches though.
Wide Receivers-
Player- Wayne, Reggie
First Week Opponent- @Baltimore Ravens
Salary- $5.14M
Last year he had a break-out year but he is facing the Ravens defense. It will be interesting to see how many times Manning throws it to him against that defense.
Player- Driver, Donald
First Week Opponent- @Detroit Lions
Salary- $4.79M
Ugh, I hate Donald Driver (I'm a Viking fan). I don't think he'll put up big numbers but it's a decent selection.
Defense-
Team- New York Giants
First Week Opponent- Arizona Cardinals
Salary- $2.99M
Cardinals will be surprising but I don't think they will be an offensive machine at all. It's a good pick because the Cardinals suck but the Giants defense isn't all that either.
