In a $130 12-Team league (10th pick), which for me is a decent sum of money.

Points:

QB - 1 pt 40 yds, 4 pts TD, -1 pt INT, 1 pt every 20 yds 201+ yds
RB - 1 pt 15 yds rush, 6 pts TD, 1 pt every 10 yds 101+ yds
WR/TE - 1 pt 15 yds rec, 6 pts TD
D/ST - 1 pt for sack fumble or INT, 6 pts TD
D/ST Pts Against - 0 pts (10), 3-6 (5), 7-14 (3), 15-21 (1)
D/ST Yds Against - 0-100 (15), 101-150 (10), 151-200 (8), 201-250 (6), 251-300 (4), 301-350 (2)
K - 3 pts per FG, 4 pts (31-45), 5 pts (46+), 1 pt per XP

Starters:

Team QB - Detroit Lions
RB - Laurence Maroney
RB/WR/TE - Brandon Jacobs
WR/TE - Marvin Harrison
WR/TE - T.J. Houshmandzadeh
WR/TE - Lauverneous Coles
K - Olindo Mare
D/ST - Oakland Raiders

Reserves:

Team QB - NY Giants
RB - Jerious Norwood
RB - Chris Brown
WR - Mark Clayton
WR - Brandon Marshall
TE - Vernon Davis
K - Joe Nedney
D/ST - Kansas City Chiefs

-----------------------------------

My Take:

I think my starters are all solid and should be able to platoon Jon Kitna and Eli Manning all season. They both should pass for a lot of yards and TD's and I am not too worried about their INT's since you only lose 1 pt per INT. At RB I will only take Laurence Maroney and Brandon Jacobs out of the lineup during bye weeks as both will get at least 85% of the workload this season (I am a die-hard Giants fan that follows the team day-to-day, Jacobs will get all the necessary TD's). In addition, with 15 yds per point it puts a greater emphasis on TD's and Maroney and Jacobs will both definitely get plenty of those. Having to only start a minimum of 1 RB per game made drafting WR's early a priority. I was able to get Marvin Harrison with the 15th overall pick, whom I consider the top WR this season. I then grabbed T.J. Housmandzadeh who I think will be a big red zone factor this season. Once again, with 15 yds per point for WR's as well, more of a priority is put on TD's, and Harrison and Houshmandzadeh should both be not at a loss for those. Lauverneous Coles and Mark Clayton are my #3 and #4, and I believe they are both #2 caliber fantasy WR's. I took a chance on Vernon Davis and Brandon Marshall late, who are both boom or bust picks and possible trade bait mid-season. My defense is not my strong point but I looked over the schedules and platooning Oakland and Kansas City together should give me a favorable matchup at least 12/16 weeks of my fantasy season. I love Olindo Mare as my kicker as there are no negative points for kickers and he should be kicking up a storm out in New Orleans.

I would play Kitna every time. No running game and far more passing options for him. Starting E Manning AND Jacobs is not wise. They will either pass or run, meaning you are only getting stats from one. V Davis will have a Gates-type of year.

Give me a second to check this out. I'm trying to play catchup on here while still doing other stuff to clean up around this house before I have to leave it in a few days.
