Fantasy Football 2004 begins!

We had our Fantasy Football draft this morning and, as with previous years, I feel like my team, sMoRTy71, got a lot of good players. It looks like my previous draft strategy of dropping the TE position to the last two picks in the draft paid off again. By devaluing tight ends (since there are only a handful of good ones available), I was able to pick up the #1 kicker, Mike Vanderjagt, and 2 solid defenses, The Ravens and The Titans.

Here is my full roster:
QB: Brett Favre, Byron Leftwich
RB: Priest Holmes, Travis Henry, Onterrio Smith
WR: Marvin Harrison, David Boston and Larry Fitzgerald
TE: Jim Kleinnsasser, Jason Rader
K: Mike Vanderjagt, Morten Anderson
D: Ravens, Titans

I really expect Leftiwch and Fitzgerald to be sleepers this season, so I'm going to hold onto them. The only player I plan on releasing is Onterrio Smith. Since he is not a starter, he won't help me on my bye weeks.
