Yahoo Salary Cap Football Best Values

Yahoo Salary Cap Football usually offers many bargains, and I'm highlighting a few of them for week 1.

Quarterbacks
Drew Brees ($19.25) vs Tampa Bay--I think that his production this year could be just as good as that of Manning and Romo, yet Brees is 3-4 dollars cheaper due to his below-expectations season last year. Coming into his third year with the Saints, his weapons include Colston, Bush (both entering their magical third years, and you know Bush is out to prove himself), new addition Jeremy Shockey, David Patten, Meachem, and Devery Henderson.

Also, if Brees thrives, you can ride him all the way until his bye week in week 9.

Philip Rivers ($13.72) vs Carolina--Carolina's defense has gone to shit. Rivers is ridiculously cheap at $13.72. The Chargers should score a lot on Sunday, and Rivers should get his share unless LT rushes for 3-4 TDs (which is possible).

Marc Bulger ($10.95) @ Philadelphia--Like Carolina, Philadelphia is another case of a defense that used to be good but isn't anymore. Bulger is healthy with receivers Holt and Drew Bennett and a healthy (and now happy) Steven Jackson. A healthy Marc Bulger for $10.95??! Even if he didn't finally have a good preseason game in the 3rd preseason game, I would take him at that price.

J.T. O'Sullivan? ($1.62) vs Arizona--Honestly, I don't know anything about this guy except I guess he has a strong arm. But hey, at a dirt cheap price, a starting QB playing Arizona may be worth a shot. He does have Frank Gore, Bryant Johnson, Issac Bruce, and Mike Martz, who knows a thing or two about succeeding with obscure quarterbacks.

Running Backs
AP ($14.20) @ GB--$14.20? This is the Minnesota Vikings' Adrian Peterson, right? At this price, he better be on every team there is.

Frank Gore ($12.54) vs Arizona--The wild card is nobody knows how good J.T. will be, but this is Frank Gore and Arizona's D sucks.

Earnest Graham ($10.25) @NO--7 TDs in his last 7 games last year, and New Orleans D sucks. Game is in a dome too.

Darren McFadden ($4.88) vs Denver--This is pretty fucking cheap for someone that talented.

Michael Turner ($3.91) vs Det--hahaha so cheap, and at the home dome against Matt Millen's team.

Wide Receivers
Jerricho Cotchery ($8.24) @Mia--He now has Favre of course and the game is at Miami, the best team in the league.

Calvin Johnson ($7.34) @Atl--It's Matt Ryan's first game and Atlanta's D is horrible. Detroit figures to have the ball a lot in this game.

Ted Ginn Jr. ($4.44) vs NYJ--He's fast, agile, and Pennington's got to throw to someone. The other options aren't so great.

Tight Ends
Jason Witten ($9.53) @ Cle--Witten is either the #1 or #2 TE in my mind. Gates should not be more than $1.50 over him and 3 other TEs should not be more expensive, especially against Cleveland.
