Now that the Rex Grossman fantasy league draft is complete, let’s take a look at the teams and try to guess their odds of winning the championship. According to league rules, each team must start 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 RB/WR, 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 D/ST.Team: The Chefs 2.0
Owner: The Slow Eater
1. (1) LaDainian Tomlinson
2. (20) Maurice Jones-Drew
3. (21) Braylon Edwards
4. (40) Chad Johnson
5. (41) Anquan Boldin
6. (60) Jay Cutler
7. (61) Matt Forte
8. (80) Aaron Rodgers
9. (81) Donald Driver
10. (100) Kenny Watson
11. (101) Rashard Mendenhall
12. (120) Tony Scheffler
13. (121) Robert Meachem
14. (140) Minnesota
15. (141) Darren Sproles
16. (160) Vernon Davis
17. (161) Brodie Croyle
I’m still looking into whether the envelope was frozen, but I’m resigned to letting him walk away with LT as the #1 pick. The QB duo of Aaron Rodgers and Jay Cutler only produced a combined 3700 yards and 21 TDs last year, but when you take into account the fact that John Mayer lined up under center more than Rodgers last year, there’s room for tremendous upside potential. Someone get Hubie Brown! I’m not sold on MJD, though. After he has one of his 5 carries for 12 yards games, The Slow Eater is going to be doing more screaming than Gordon Ramsay.
Odds: 13/2
Team: Full Retard
Owner Black Irish
1. (2) Adrian Peterson
2. (19) Willie Parker
3. (22) Carson Palmer
4. (39) Steve Smith
5. (42) Wes Welker
6. (59) Hines Ward
7. (62) LenDale White
8. (79) Jeff Garcia
9. (82) Patrick Crayton
10. (99) Felix Jones
11. (102) Donte' Stallworth
12. (119) Chester Taylor
13. (122) Kevin Jones
14. (139) Trent Edwards
15. (142) Chicago
16. (159) Shayne Graham
17. (162) Anthony Fasano
The enthusiasm with which Black Irish expressed his selection of Jeff Garcia in Round 8 says it all: this team’s in trouble. Can AD stay healthy for a full season? Getting Steve Smith in Round 4 seems like a bargain, but will he be consistent? How long will it be before Fasano finds himself on the waiver wire? With a bench thinner than the Olsen twins, Full Retard is one injury away from the ER. At least Mary Kate is good at working the phones after a tragedy.
Odds: 11-1
Team: Basketball on Grass
Owner: Lafayette Gold
1. (3) Joseph Addai
2. (18) Reggie Wayne
3. (23) Matt Hasselbeck
4. (38) Reggie Bush
5. (43) Santonio Holmes
6. (58) Santana Moss
7. (63) Eli Manning
8. (78) Joey Galloway
9. (83) Heath Miller
10. (98) Rudi Johnson
11. (103) Matt Leinart
12. (118) Deuce McAllister
13. (123) Amani Toomer
14. (138) Seattle
15. (143) Owen Daniels
16. (158) Ben Obomanu
17. (163) Robbie Gould
When people are openly wondering whether Reggie Bush will score more TDs than the number of weeks Kim Kardashian will last on Dancing With the Stars, your RB situation is a tad questionable. If Moss and Galloway start needing the medical staff, it could be a long season for the man with the golden gun.
Odds: 10-1
Team: The KL Crew
Owner: Torry Hallelujah
1. (4) Brian Westbrook
2. (17) Ryan Grant
3. (24) Ben Roethlisberger
4. (37) Plaxico Burress
5. (44) Brandon Marshall
6. (57) Ronnie Brown
7. (64) Jerricho Cotchery
8. (77) Roddy White
9. (84) Jake Delhomme
10. (97) Chris Johnson
11. (104) Jeremy Shockey
12. (117) D.J. Hackett
13. (124) JaMarcus Russell
14. (137) Chris Brown
15. (144) Andre Hall
16. (157) Nick Folk
17. (164) Pittsburgh
While our man of faith was lucky to see Westbrook fall to #4 overall and Ryan Grant to #17, this backfield carries a significant injury risk, especially with Grant. Just ask Tyson Homosexual how a hamstring injury can affect your career. Assault, disorderly conduct, domestic violence, DUI, and a traffic violation – that’s not Pacman Jones’s rap sheet, it’s Brandon Marshall’s. That tally will cost him one game, plus counseling. God bless America.
Odds: 7-1
Team: Cousin Bowser
Owner: Cousin Bowser
1. (5) Steven Jackson
2. (16) Terrell Owens
3. (25) Donovan McNabb
4. (36) Willis McGahee
5. (45) Roy Williams
6. (56) David Garrard
7. (65) Edgerrin James
8. (76) Tony Gonzalez
9. (85) Nate Burleson
10. (96) Jason Campbell
11. (105) Derrick Mason
12. (116) Javon Walker
13. (125) Steve Slaton
14. (136) Todd Heap
15. (145) Kyle Orton
16. (156) New England
17. (165) Stephen Gostkowski
The Italian strongman is more known for brawn than brains, and it showed when he was talked out of making Tom Brady his #1 pick at the draft table. The Jackson-Owens combo should provide CB’s popcorn with all the butter it needs, though. It’s a shame that McNabb doesn’t have anyone to throw to, not that he could throw accurately if he did. Maybe it’s time for him to switch from Campbell’s Chunky to Progresso – it worked for Steamin’ Willie Beamon.
Odds: 10-1
Team: Luv2LikBalz@jack.com
Owner: Michael J. Cox
1. (6) Tom Brady
2. (15) Larry Johnson
3. (26) Darren McFadden
4. (35) Derek Anderson
5. (46) Michael Turner
6. (55) Antonio Gates
7. (66) Lee Evans
8. (75) Dwayne Bowe
9. (86) Kevin Curtis
10. (95) Bernard Berrian
11. (106) Kurt Warner
12. (115) Ted Ginn Jr.
13. (126) Ray Rice
14. (135) Jerry Porter
15. (146) San Diego
16. (155) Kolby Smith
17. (166) Adam Vinatieri
After watching his fate ride on the shoulders of Jake Delhomme and Matt Leinart during previous seasons, Michael J. Cox was left with no choice but to draft Giselle’s boy toy with the #6 pick. Looking to solidify Derek Anderson’s status as the starter in Cleveland, Cox posted this photo of Brady Quinn on his personal blog. With a starting receiving corps consisting of Lee Evans, D-Bowe, and Kevin Curtis, though, Cox might need to take a shot in the mouth to pull off a trade for a top-flight WR.
Odds: 9-1
Team: The A-Team
Owner: Mr. T
1. (7) Clinton Portis
2. (14) Marion Barber
3. (27) Marques Colston
4. (34) Jamal Lewis
5. (47) Torry Holt
6. (54) Marvin Harrison
7. (67) Jason Witten
8. (74) Matt Schaub
9. (87) Brett Favre
10. (94) Ricky Williams
11. (107) Chris Perry
12. (114) J.T. O'Sullivan
13. (127) Isaac Bruce
14. (134) Chad Pennington
15. (147) Ronald Curry
16. (154) Green Bay
17. (167) Josh Brown
The defending champs should've been arrested for grand larceny after the draft for stealing Barber, Holt, and Witten. Favre and Schaub are both question marks at QB, as one will battle age and learning a new offense while the other will have to hope he can stay on the field. In a 2 QB league, they’re a risk, but if they come through, this draft could be a dunk from the foul line.
Odds: 5-1
Team: 2Girls1Cup
Owner: Steve Stevens
1. (8) Randy Moss
2. (13) Drew Brees
3. (28) Brandon Jacobs
4. (33) Andre Johnson
5. (48) Calvin Johnson
6. (53) Kevin Smith
7. (68) Kellen Winslow
8. (73) Jonathan Stewart
9. (88) Jon Kitna
10. (93) Fred Taylor
11. (108) Vincent Jackson
12. (113) DeSean Jackson
13. (128) Michael Bush
14. (133) Matt Ryan
15. (148) Jacksonville
16. (153) Sidney Rice
17. (168) Rob Bironas
After bagging Moss in Round 1 and two guys named Johnson with his fourth and fifth picks, Mr. Stevens has the league’s best receiving corps. But will all the rookies (Kevin Smith, Jonathan Stewart, DeSean Jackson) pan out? A better name for this team might be 3Youths1Prayer. Also, will Private Kellen Winslow wrap up his promotional tour for Tropic Thunder in time to take the field for Week 1?
Odds: 5-1
Team: Wo Ai Beijing
Owner: Marble Ryan
1. (9) Peyton Manning
2. (12) Marshawn Lynch
3. (29) Larry Fitzgerald
4. (32) Thomas Jones
5. (49) Greg Jennings
6. (52) Selvin Young
7. (69) Marc Bulger
8. (72) Chris Cooley
9. (89) Chris Chambers
10. (92) DeAngelo Williams
11. (109) Reggie Williams
12. (112) Justin Fargas
13. (129) New York
14. (132) Bryant Johnson
15. (149) Ahman Green
16. (152) Nate Kaeding
17. (169) Tarvaris Jackson
Marc Bulger spent more time on his back last year than Paris Hilton. Will the offense in St. Louis reemerge? Selvin Young’s slim-at-the-waist build might stir some passion in Marble Ryan’s loins, but will he be able to hold onto the starting job in Denver with Mike Shana-tan pulling the strings? Here’s hoping SY likes hanging from a string. Should Frank Costanza have gone with “The Bro” or “The Manzier?” Just ask Sid Farkas, bra salesman extraordinaire…and backup RB of the Oakland Raiders.
Odds: 8-1
Team: McCord Blows
Owner: Bruno
1. (10) Frank Gore
2. (11) Tony Romo
3. (30) T.J. Houshmandzadeh
4. (31) Laurence Maroney
5. (50) Laveranues Coles
6. (51) Earnest Graham
7. (70) Philip Rivers
8. (71) Dallas Clark
9. (90) Julius Jones
10. (91) Anthony Gonzalez
11. (110) Reggie Brown
12. (111) Vince Young
13. (130) Ahmad Bradshaw
14. (131) Indianapolis
15. (150) Bobby Engram
16. (151) Greg Olsen
17. (170) Mason Crosby
Bruno, the most fabulous RG fantasy league competitor, seemed to draft with only his team photograph in mind. Bruno went with Romo and Rivers at QB because he thought they were face guys. Thankfully they can also sling the rock. He’ll hope for good chemistry with Favre & Coles. He always likes a good tight end. Finally, he hopes that Frank Gore rides Air Martz and rides it well.
Odds: 9-1
