    I won both of my leagues last year with Chris Johnson and DeSean Jackson killing it every week.

    Johnson is unbelievable, and I think Jackson's best days are still ahead. Definitely good guys to build around.

    If Johnson could score more TD's he'd be unbelievable.

    Pierre Thomas isn't even the 6th best running back in fantasy football.

    I would stay away from Saints players except Brees until the later rounds. Then you can pick up a Shockey, Meachem, Bush, Thomas, etc.

    Colston is probably the 2nd highest ranking player for the Saints. Even he is an unknown how well he'll do fantasy wise, especially with a healthy Lance Moore.

    I'm staying away from all of the saints receivers in general. Except maybe Colston, but that's only because of how much the ball gets spread around.

    I'm in a fantasy league this year I've never seen. We actually have defensive players. Anyone got any insight on that?

    Probably, but not to the point where he'll have a major impact in fantasy. I like PT a lot, but he's not an elite back. JMO.

    Only if Bush goes down will PT get more touches. PT is a better as a 3rd RB in fantasy or if you have a flex position.

    Right. I'd take him on my fantasy team, but not as a guy I'm relying on for big numbers every week.

    it was pretty much a reach, but he did well for me last year. I am hoping Ray Rice falls to me in the 6 hole. Or Jones Drew.

    Saints already picked up Ladell Betts, so the extra carries won't be there necessarily.

    It's strictly running back by committee, which is the best way to do it so everyone can stay healthy.
