CBSSports.com Presents: JWML Overview, M-Z
College football started this week, and on that note, here are several fantasy league rosters filled with players that should probably go back to college. Unless they went to college at Oklahoma or Ole Miss. Yikes.
These are the final six roster overviews of the JMWL. If you're new, the idea of the league is to create a team of players that plays enough to have some impact in a game, but doesn't play well. In other words, we're striving for the mediocrity given to the Texans by Jonathan Wells in 2002.
On to the rosters!
Spoon feed peoples - JimboTexan
Starting 7: QB David Garrard, RB Jahvid Best, RB Reggie Bush, WR Kenny Britt, WR Derrick Mason, TE Brandon Pettigrew, K Matt Stover
Bench: Tim Tebow, Mike Bell, Cedric Benson, Tashard Choice, Darren Sproles, Bernard Berrian, Josh Morgan, Jeremy Shockey
I think Best probably outperforms the starting lineup, and I think Garrard is probably a cut above the line of bad for this league. Otherwise, it looks like a pretty solid team. Kicking myself for not nabbing Derrick Mason, as he's a perfect fit for this league.
Grade: B
Return Of Stacy Mack - Rivers McCown
I went over my picks here.
Grade: B+. I don't think this is a winning roster simply because it has too much irrelevance. But it was more fun to draft it that way.
NOLANDERSGONNAFUCKUUPSOHARD - Nolander
Starting 7: QB Carson Palmer, RB Donald Brown, RB Correll Buckhalter, WR Danny Amendola, WR Chad Ochocinco, TE Bo Scaife, K Kris Brown
Bench: Derek Anderson, Matt Cassell, Josh Johnson, Ryan Mathews, CJ Spiller, Dwayne Bowe, Antwaan Randle-El, Dustin Keller
Nollie missed the draft but came up with a pretty good team out of the leftovers regardless. My only complaint would be that he's banking a little too hard on certain teams to regress (Chiefs, Bengals), but he's got his bases pretty well covered. Derek Anderson should probably start week 1, and he'll need a new kicker as well in all probability.
Grade: B+
Multiple Scorgasms - AllenOU
Starting 7: QB Jake Delhomme, RB Maurice Morris, RB Chris Ogbonnaya, WR Chansi Stuckey, WR Troy Williamson, TE Alge Crumpler, K Mike Nugent
Bench: Colt McCoy, Seneca Wallace, Javon Ringer, Donte Stallworth, Roy Williams, Joel Dreessen, Brody Eldridge
This tea
This team nee
This team needs some work.
The QB handcuffs are, of course, genius, but I'm not sure his running backs will get enough carries to function as a plus. Williamson and Stallworth were both cut, and I am not sure who Chansi Stuckey is, but he sounds like a Pokemon.
Grade: C
11 Tight End Set - Shake
Starting 7: QB Rex Grossman, RB Montario Hardesty, RB Derrick Ward, WR Dexter McLuster, WR Mike Williams, TE Anthony Fasano, K Billy Cundiff
Bench: Dennis Dixon, Joe McKnight, Fred Taylor, Josh Cribbs, James Jones, Daniel Graham, Jason Hanson, Nate Kaeding
Might have one of the top three WR corps in the league, and badly needs to use that to trade for some bad quarterbacks, because he might not even have a Week 1 starter there. The only RB I see that he can use is Taylor, and there's really no need to have 3 kickers in any league, ever.
Grade: D
Tony Hollings' Opus - WorstFan
Starting 7: QB Matt Leinart, RB Jerome Harrison, RB LaDanian Tomlinson, WR Devin Hester, WR TJ Houshmandzadeh, TE Ben Petrick, K Graham Gano
Bench: Alex Smith, Larry Johnson, Willis McGahee, Brian Westbrook, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Devin Thomas, Nate Washington, Ben Watson
Tough break on cut-down day as he lost his starting QB, but this team has a lot of depth at other positions and could probably spring a trade to acquire another one if necessary. Housh signing elsewhere would definitely help as well.
Grade: B

Why all the hate?
It’s not like half of my team was auto-drafted and has been repeatedly edited using only the Add/Drop feature or anything.
And to be fair, I may now have 2 starting QBs for Week 1.
Nolander — I’ll trade you an awesomely mediocre kicker for Derek Anderson.
If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?
PS
I now have both Batch & Dixon…so I’m covered with a solid JWML QB for the first 4-6 weeks (whatever Ben’s suspension is).
And while I have nothing against McNabb, I may need him to get injured before Ben comes back. This team could go far on the back of Sexy Rexy.
If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?
more Add/Dropping this AM...new roster (until I change my mind) is below:
Starters:
QB – Charlie Batch (PIT)
RB – James Davis (CLE)
RB – Fred Taylor (NE)
WR – Dexter McCluster (KC)
WR – Mike Williams (TB)
TE – Anthony Fasano (MIA)
K – Billy Cundiff (BAL)
Bench:
QB – Dennis Dixon
QB – Fuck it, I’m goin’ deep
RB – Joe McKnight
RB – Derrick Ward
WR – Josh Cribbs
WR – James Jones
TE – Daniel Graham
K – Jason Hanson

I hate you
But I do love your devotion to having both Mittens & Rosencopter on your bench….to the extent that you only have 1 TE on the roster.
If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?
In retrospect, I wish I had just made every position a Q/R/W/T
So that you could implement a 7 TE starting lineup.

Who cares about your crappy lineup!!!
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
I'll take that as a compliment
The crappier my lineup, the better.
If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?
I'm open
To trading WRs for QBs/RBs, I think mine are too good
Yeah mine needs some work
Stuckey is wr # 3-4 for the browns
I’ve been in fucking Baltimore and Philly for the week, coming home today. East coast is awful, cept for the easy tail

I am
Matt Matt. It’s my first name (the one I go by anyway) and I double entered it in the last name/first name fields when I signed up for CBS sports.
Edited for correctness
My apologies.

Do you come from
A long line of Louisiana dirt farmers….?
Its hard to tell
but I think even with his numbers last year, Palmer and Cassel would be decent options. Cassel threw a fair number of picks, and Palmer was just super mediocre, and I don’t see TO changing that. Shame about my kicker though.
Have you ever tried just turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?
Irrelevant, but necessary.
Houston is reportedly interested in Matt Leinart, via PFT. Please for the love of god Kubes, sign Troy Smith, not Leinart.
