Ignatius, you've got the better RBs but he has better wideouts and Schaub is an injury waiting to happen
You forgot to mention that I'm about to trade Lance Moore and Derrick Ward for Roddy White, who I will then play in the Flex (the flex is currently Fred Jackson for the next 3 weeks).
Psh. Rice destroys Ward, but my RBs destroy his, and Bowe and Ochocinco are both as good as Housh. I'd argue both are better. Schaub puts up better numbers than Romo if he's healthy probably, but who knows if that happens.
Iggy but it is close and can go either way. Your backfield is nice but his backfield is good while being loaded up at the other positions. Iggy's draft is totally something I would come out of a draft having.
Bowe and Ochocinco are NOT both as good as Housh in a PPR. He's been getting insane targets this preseason. Still, I wouldn't argue either of us is significantly better than the other. It's awfully close, especially now that Ward has a tough battle to securing primary carries in Tampa.
I don't know about clearly, but I might agree. Head to head, I think Romo beats Schaub due to health, SJax beats Slaton, Williams beats Grant (I would have taken Deangelo had I researched Stewart's injury a bit more), Rice beats anyone I put in that Flex (he took him 2 spots before I was going to). However, I think Calvin beats Bowe handily and I honestly believe Housh in that Seattle system is a PPR goldmine. It's the perfect fit for him. I can't get a read on Ocho. People either think he's going to explode or he's death. I can't figure out either side, to be honest. Keller beats Davis, and the rest is largely irrelevant. It should be good. I think there are one or two teams in the league better than either of ours, which is rather impressive since we ended up drafting 10th (Mack) and 12th (me).
Ignatius, pretty clear to me. Mack's best WR and RB are both on miserable teams, Jackson with a terrible line and Bowe with questions at QB (and everything else). One could say the same about IJR's WR, but it doesn't really matter what's around Calvin Johnson. Romo vs Schaub is a toss up to me, but I personally feel that Romo is going to have a big season. Housh is the key for it all, especially in PPR, the man's a lock for 90+, especially with Hasselbeck.
No doubt Housh has a bigger floor, but Ochocinco has a higher upside. I really like Housh this year, a little more than Ocho, but I'll take Bowe over Housh. Seattle is not that good. The line is hurting, Hasselbeck could get hurt again, and then that offense is in shambles. Plus, Housh will get insane targets, sure, but he also has to deal with double teams and stuff he never saw with Ocho around. I also like my WR depth in case one of my top guys falls. Of course, I like his RB depth at the same time. No matter what team Jackson's been on, he's always been a points-per-game monster, and if DeAngelo gets as many touches as he did last year, like he's expected to, how much is he going to fall? Even if he loses 7 touchdowns, I'm happy. Bowe is on a bad team, too, but if it doesn't matter for Calvin, it shouldn't matter for Bowe. I love Calvin this year, but Bowe's Chiefs are a pass-first offense and they will be behind a lot with young quarterbacks who will likely zero in on Bowe. Gonzalez being gone means they'll probably target him even more.
