    Favorite team : Steelers...12-4...win division..Win Super Bowl

    Sleeper: WR Antonio Brown

    Disappoint: Hines Ward

    Defense: It's the Steelers, come on now! I guess it depends on how fantasy league points are awarded in your league as to how valuable the Steelers defense will be. Top 5..maybe top 3?
    "I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

      We're the Steelers, we can just be bold and turn a blind eye to the major gaping holes in the offensive line and the fact that several other teams have caught up or surpassed us (including the one that beat us in the Super Bowl last year).

        Harrison looks like he is slowing down as well and Polomlu is like glass. I wouldnt take the Steelers being a top D for granted.

          Donald Driver & Hines Ward were major disappointments last season. How can Driver disappoint again when he only had 500 yds receiving last year?

            Woodley and Timmons are monsters...Polamalu is always a question mark..their CB's are ok..Defense will still be better than most.

              Their schedule is seemingly not that difficult. So making the playoffs should be very likely. I never said they were the best team in the league, but i still don't see many teams surpassing them other than the Packers, maybe.

                Driver is best left to the waiver wire. If you draft him, he will disappoint you and become one of your first cuts.

                  So far so good.
                  I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

                    Ravens did what they wanted on this defense yesterday although the turnovers by the Steelers offense had something to do with it.

                      1. Who is your favorite team, and how will they finish this year?

                      Vikings. Between 6-8 wins.


                      2. Who is your team's sleeper?

                      None. Peterson, McNabb and Harvin will be the entire offense. Although if I had to pick one, TE Kyle Rudolph might eat into Shiancoe's production. On the defensive side DE Brian Robison might be productive since he'll face single teams while Jared Allen gets double-teamed all year.


                      3. Who will disappoint?

                      Worst case scenario would be...Harvin's migraine's return and McNabb play falls off a cliff and fast, and Joe Webb/Ponder is under centre by Halloween, with arguably the worst O-line in the league.


                      4. How would rank the defense (fantasy wise)?

                      Middle of the pack. CB Cedric Griffin's likely return helps out an already weak secondary. And all the regulars return (Jared Allen, EJ Henderson, Chad Greenway, Antoine Winfield).
                      Time to re-visit...
                      Team was even worse than expected. Pass defense and secondary was god-awful, Ponder was wildly inconsistent, the O-line is dreadful, no #2 receiver after Harvin, TE Kyle Rudolph seemed to emerge somewhat by seasons end, Jared Allen was a beast as usual. Good news, is a top draft pick as a result since this team has a ton of holes (O-line, wide receiver, secondary, and D-line are the most pressing areas).

                        BAM!! pretty damn good although they didn't win their division.....Although the Steelers Defense was better in real life than in fantasy,,

                          They also don't have a very tough schedule until the second half of the year. Conceivably, they could go 6-2 or 7-1 before the ledge drops off.

                          I expect 9-7, I'd love to see 10-6. I wouldn't count them out.
                          The Giants did go 6-2, and finished at 9-7.

                          If they make the playoffs, it will be because Eli has gotten over his INT hiccups and made the clutch plays. But the defense is the real question mark here.
                          They made the playoffs because Eli cut down on his INTs from 25 to 19, and made the clutch plays. The defense was the major question mark.

                            Bernie Brewer did better than me. No surprise there!
                            I'm just here for the baseball.
