Okay, who picked up Cardinals on their FFB teams? Who gave our boys some love??

I myself picked up Anquan Boldin and Freddie Jones. Would have landed Emmitt as my fourth RB but missed him by two picks.

Also, NFL.com is picking the Cards D/ST as sleepers for at least the first eight weeks. How about that for a little love for the no namers?

Freddie Jones, 15th round backup to Heap, baby!

Not too sure on that defense, though. Couldn't bring myself to do it, especially with the injuries.

I got Emmitt in the 9th as my 4th RB and Freddie Jones in the 16th to back up Gonzalez. Me and my friend play at sandbox.com where you draft individual defensive players, so I picked up Raynoch Thompson in the 20th, because I have a gut feeling that he'll have a monster year.

I very curious about Emmitts production and how many carries Shipp is going to "take away" from him. I'm keeping an eye on both Gilmore and Boldin

I went with a lot of Cardinals for back-ups. The first Cardinal I drafted was Emmitt (who is actually my starter along with Clinton Portis). I have Ahman Green and Tiki Barber too. The next Cardinal I took was Freddie (behind Shockey). Then Blake (behind Manning and Gannon). And believe it or not...I took Gilmore with my last pick. (Behind Plaxico, Laverous Coles and Booker).

Freddie Jones is in a lot of the leagues. Emmit is in a few. Adrian Wilson is on the team in Cardfanatics league.

Pick up Lawyer before the Rams, Detroit or GB do.

Marcell Shipp and Ricky Williams are my starting RB's. I've got Jeff Blake on the bench behind Aaron Brooks. I also picked up Anquan Bolden with my last pick.

Also, to be true to my team name "Fallen-On-Card-Times", I picked up Thomas Jones as a sleeper pick for when Pittman ends up in Tent City. :doi:

Go Cards!!!

I play to win. Cardinals players are all gambles in my mind, so I tried to stay away.

Someone just dropped Shipp in my league, though. So if one of my RBs gets injured or otherwise doesn't look like he's going to work out he'll be the first one I pickup if he's still there (which is doubtful--RBs that will get the ball at all are at a premium more than I can remember in recent years).

My Team (in my most serious, in-person draft league):

QBs:
T. Maddox
J. Harrington
K. Holcomb (picked up before he was named starter)

RBs:
P. Holmes
J. Lewis
W. Green
O. Smith
L. Johnson

WRs:
P. Burreess
D. Boston :(
C. Johnson
D. Bates
D. Jackson

TEs:
A. Crumpler
C. Cleeland

K:
A. Elling
J. Reed

DEF:
Bills
Falcons

I play in a serious 8 man league the only Card drafted was the Defense, I think after the first game I may pick up Gramatica thou depending on how my kickers look. Side notes Jake Plummer didn't get picked, Boston lasted till the 5th round.

In this Yahoo League we get to have 2 RB starters and one RB/WR "utility". Emmitt is the "utility" while Green and Portis are my starting horses!

Unbelievably we have 10 teams! I'm in 4 leagues, and this one was by far my best draft! :) Ridiculous isn't it!

I was the first pick, and took Portis. Then when it came back up (first pick gets 2 this time around) I took Manning and Gannon. That sparked an all-out QB pick for the remaining teams, and when it came back to me, I was able to land Ahman. Whoo-hoo! Then Plaxico.

can I get in on that league - it sounds like you're playing with a bunch of complete idiots - nice team - you shouldn't be able to be beat.

LOL! Actually I do have some competition. One guy has both McNabb and McNair (who I think is going to have a very nice season), Ricky Williams & Edgerran James along with Hines Ward and Tory Holt.

Besides, all its takes is an injury to one of my top guys, and it's probably over....unless my Cardinal player's step up! :)

1. I've got three teams in The Sporting News Ultimate Challenge. I play this game to win. In two of the teams, I have Bryan Gillmore as my 3rd WR. He is the lowest cost #1WR in the game.

On one team I have the Cards defense by default because they were all I could afford.

That's all. And no plans to buy any other Cardinals either.

2. In Exit42, my "fun" team, I've got a bunch of Cardinals.

3. In my toughest league, a draft and keeper league, I've got 5 young Cards on my developmental squad (won't activate till next year) and two IDP Cards starting - Adrian Wilson and Calvin Pace.
