Athlon Preview-- TCFL Season VII

1. Bonnie Blues- With a running back corp that features two of the game's brightest young stars in Chris Johnson and Ray Rice, he has nice balance and depth at wide receiver as well. Steve Smith, Chad Ochocinqo, and Mike Sims-Walker bolster and team that won a championship in spite of its QB and WR play a year ago.

Joseph Addai rests as a solid insurance policy at #3 on his RB depth chart. Keeping 6, along with the first two picks in the second round gives the defending champ all he needs to build another championship roster with the first QB off the board and a high-priority TE or RB.

Over-under: 9-4

2. Part Time Models- Alan's 4 first-round picks reflects some serious foresight on the part of the former champ. Only two seasons removed from his first league title, Alan saw a need to rebuild an aging roster. Tom Brady, Calvin Johnson, and Andre Johnson constitute a long-term commitment to the passing game. His running backs, Reshard Mendenhall and Michael Turner, have some serious upside. One consistent runner and one other young runner will likely be garnered in the Mak'er's first round, which will give the Models enough power in the run game to light up Chicago.

In a division that has only one other pre-season powerhouse, the Models are a solid pick atop the Dixon Conference.

Over-under: 10-3

3. Mafia Hitmen- This is an owner that should not be under-estimated, having won four of six Dixon Conference crowns. MJD and Steve Jackson head up a remarkably talented running stable. Peyton Manning will drive consistency in the passing game, while Vincent Jackson and Brandon Marshall need only average seasons to help this team compete on the highest levels.

Junior's two second round picks are in his wheel-house of drafting expertise, and should snag some nice talent to build upon there.

Over-under: 9-4

4. Lynchburg's Finest- Only a substitution away from his second title last year, some changes at running back and a minority share of the first round picks (1,4 & 8), the former commish has some options in keeping up with McIntyre's Johnsons.

Peterson, D. Williams, and Moreno power the back field, while consistency at WR is key to a successful 2010 campaign.

Over-under: 9-4

5. The Federalists- Still so good after a toilet bowl season a year ago, key additions at RB and WR give this team new life, and legitimate championship hopes in season VII.

Drew Brees, Randy Moss, and Greg Jennings lend explosiveness to the deepest RB corp in the league with Frank Gore, Ronnie Brown, LeSean McCoy, and Jamaal Charles.

His team may be favored to win the other conference out-right, but the top-heavy Mason Conference provides some stiff competition to run away with anything.

Over-under: 8-5

6. Truman's Harpo- A roster featuring Philip Rivers, a stable corp of three-deep at RB, and serious threats at wide-out give the TCFL its deepest group of actual contenders ever.

Reavus made serious adjustments to an aging roster in the off-season, and puts himself right where he wants to be coming into his second TCFL season. Known as a long-term architect, Reavus' unorthodox draft strategies are a safer play coming into season VII because of his play-off security.

In a division where anything can happen, all the fantasy guru will need are a couple of good drafts, trades, or waiver picks to make a serious play off run.

Over-under: 8-5

7. Quagmire Crackerjacks- If Bobby B can hold on to a few key spots on his roster, upgrades at running back are the only thing keeping him from fantasy stardom.

Aaron Rodgers, Reggie Wayne, Percy Harvin, and Antonio Gates are solids around which to build. The other running back stables in his own division make Jacobs and Barber look weak, but only a few good moves are needed to put him in play-off contention.

Over-under: 5-8

8. Shatty Dawgs- The defending Toilet Bowl Champ has a roster that would make his cousin want to sit down and cry. Although he's better now than the start of the off-season, Foxxy needs his cowboys to come up big to even stay in the playoff hunt through the first half of the season. If Benson can repeat what he did a year ago and find a suitable running-mate in Foxxy's RB corp, Foxx could change his pre-season destiny quickly. For now, he's stuck in the roster doldrums.

Over-under: 4-9
