Favre and Kitna are not spectacular, but when you aren't drafting passers high, they aren't a bad tandem. Favre should be on the field all year. He's past his prime, but should still be good for some numbers.

My running back situation is the best of the three. Brown and Cadillac are starters with upside, while Reggie Bush and Dominic Rhodes could either one put up starter numbers.

I had to take recievers a little lower, because of the runners I got. Still, I can live with starting Hines Ward and Houshmandzadeh. Once again, it looks like I'm in love with Braylen, Kevin Curtis and Brandon Stokely, which isn't really the case. They are the ones who seem slotted a little low, so I keep drafting them.

Witten is a major upgrade from Dallas Clark, with high upside. I bet the Cowboys throw him more balls than last year, though Witten did come on strong late in the year, after a slow start. He's no Gonzales, but Gonzales is aging. I can live with this selection.

Once again, Graham and the Ravens slid a little. The Ravens are my starter instead of my backup on this team, but there is always an undrafted defense or two you can pick up, if your starter sucks.

ANALYSIS: This is probably the team I would feel best about going into a season with. The q.b.s and recievers have question marks, but the running back situation has a lot more depth and upside potential. Runners rule in fantasy football, so that is all the reason I need to say this is my favorite roster of the three. It gives me some hope, since this is the closest of the three to where I'll be drafting.

This is my favorite of your three teams, just because I'm a big believer in fantasy dominance through strong running backs. Reggie Bush could explode out of the gates, Rhodes may be the lead runner for the Colts, and Shaun Alexander has to get hurt sooner or later, thus clearing the path for Maurice Morris. And with Cadillac and Ronnie Brown as starters, you have the luxury of waiting to see if any of those scenarios develop.

QBs are solid, and one of the two is probably bound to throw at least 25 touchdowns.

WR is a little thin, but you don't have to have big names to get production. TJ gets a lot of looks in the Bengals offense, and Edwards will do fine when he's recovered from his injury.

I really like this team.
