strat question

[ChrisParadise]

ive not played fantasy football in 10 years. ive never played it seriously but this year im in a league that id like to win.

basic strat question : do most guys carry 2 te's and 2 defenses? or just drop/add to cover bye weeks? kickers id guess no one carries 2

i dropped meachem to add a FA TE miller and wonder if i made a mistake...the only defense i have is baltimore

hell i dont even know how the scoring works exactly, not worried much about it before today, its a standard yahoo league with some nerds from my guild on everquest (yes im a nerd too) so im arrogant enough to think i can win if i skip camp and just show up for week 1 like my boy haynesworth would do

qb brady,rivers
rb deangelo, benson ,grant, r.brown, foster
wr a.johnson, TO ,sims-walker, s.moss
te winslow, miller
k bironas
d baltimore

starters must be qb, 2rb,3wr,1te,1k,1d

id like to trade a rb for a wr, but no one wants to talk trade. thats why i never can get into fantasy leagues no one ever wants to make trades so i lose interest and quit after 3 weeks but gonna try to do this one seriously.

any advice for a newbie is appreciated

I've had 2 tight ends on my team several times before, but I never carry 2 defenses.
If I happen to have a Super defense that I don't want to give up, then during the Bye week I would have 2 defenses. The same thing applies to kickers.

Meachem and Miller are dead even as far as I'm concerned.

Good luck!!!!
