Positives - He has the size and ability you want in a receiver. Projections have him in the 6-8 TD and just under 1000yds level. With the best-ball format, that might just be enough. He has a decent WR2 in Toomer, great RB in Barber, and good TE in Shockey as a supporting cast. If Manning can shake off his rookie blues and avoid the sophomore jinx, Burress has all kinds of potential for a great season.

Negatives - Burress has long since had all kinds of potential, but has a tendency to be lazy and inconsistent. He needs to shake the "Randy Moss School of Receiving" and live up to his potential. Manning also needs to break out, else this will be a long season.

Draft Strategy - Once again I've selected a player who's getting the spotlight opportunity. I hadn't planned on that, but hey, I'll go with it. At this point in the draft, I'm starting to load up at WR and RB, wanting to take the best available. Survivor scoring is a best-ball format, so the more bodies I can throw out there, the better chance for three of them to score highly each week.
