Manning's a big question mark right now. Two solid running backs, horrible depth with only one backup RB on your roster. No top-tier receivers and there's a huge drop off after your starters. Honestly I usually don't ever mess with backup TE's or defenses, so I would probably look at dropping your backups there and add to your depth at RB and WR.
I'm assuming you went MJD then Mendenhall, correct? You don't have a bad team but I definitely agree with jay that you need to add RB depth. I wouldn't worry about your WRs, because there will always be a few that come out of nowhere and you can grab off the waiver wire. Flacco is a solid backup if Peyton doesn't play, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

Pearl, I just noticed that you have 3 WR slots instead of a flex. You should be good without another RB
12 teams, last pick Need to make some adjustments..Don't like Brandon Jackson and Earl Bennett picks. Might pick up Eddie Royal and Shipley, but the Shipley pick scares me because of their team sucking huge donkey dick.
16 Team PPR League. This is a big league. Changed up the lineup format this year to a complete five flex at WR/RB/TE. Basically means that you can start multiple TEs instead of just any combo of WR/RB. I drew the 7th overall pick QB - Matt StaffordTE - Jason WittenW/R/T - Jamaal CharlesW/R/T - Frank GoreW/R/T - Anquan BoldinW/R/T - Julio JonesW/R/T - Pierre ThomasK - Rob BironasDEF - New Orleans Bench - Robert MeachemBench - Emmanuel SandersBench - Brandon Jacobs Bench - Brent CelekBench - Jared CookBench - Ryan Fitzpatrick By Round (Overall):1 - Jamaal Charles2 - Frank Gore3 - Jason Witten4 - Matt Stafford5 - Anquan Boldin6 - Julio Jones7 - Pierre Thomas8 - Robert Meachem9 - Brent Celek10 - Brandon Jacobs11 - Ryan Fitzpatrick12 - Jared Cook13 - New Orleans DST14 - Emmanuel Sanders15 - Rob Bironas Seems like I took Stafford high, but for whatever reason, two years in a row QBs have flown off the board early (I think five in the first round this year). I was left with Stafford, Freeman, Eli, Flacco, Bradford and I like Stafford's upside the most if he stays healthy. I am an Eagles fan so I cannot stand Eli
Finished my draft last night...brutal. Got squeezed on every pick for about 5 rounds. 12 Team, 2 Keeper, PPR QB - Peyton (crosses fingers) RB - Foster RB - Peterson RB/WR - WR - Miles Austin WR - Welker WR/TE - TE - Owen Daniels K - Who Cares Def. - Oakland Bench Cutler Lee Evans James Starks Robert Meachem Jerome Harrison Jordy Nelson Jared Cook Ben Tate Burleson Andre Roberts
Injury worries with Maclin, Grant and Gore. QB issues with Smith, Marshall and Crabtree. Obviously Johnson's holdout is something to keep an eye on as well. If those things go well, I think you got a lot of value. Just a lot of ifs with not enough sure things to balance them.
In a 10-team league I really do not think you should be taking Ridley, Cobb, or Dion Lewis. Lewis or Cobb didn't even go in my draft with 16 teams. I like Cobb's upside in real life, but he is going to start off as the sixth passing option (at best) to open the season behind Jennings, Finley, Driver, Jones, Nelson.
would try to trade Gronkowski for another RB. I never really fuck with a backup TE and IMO you can never have enough backs. Or maybe try to strengthen your bench receivers. Very solid group of backs though just would consider throwing one more in there
Thoughts? 12-team league QB: Matt Schaub RB: Matt Forte RB: Ryan Mathews WR: Mike Williams (TB) WR: Hakeem Nicks WR: Anquan Boldin TE: Jermichael Finley Flex: Beanie Wells DEF: Packers K: Neil Rackers Bench: RB Jonathan Stewart RB: Daniel Thomas RB: James Starks QB: Josh Freeman WR: Emmanuel Sanders WR: Steve Breaston Probably going to deal one of my 2 QB's for another RB1/RB2 running back.

14-Team Standard ESPN Scoring. Had the 5th pick. QB - Matthew Stafford RB - Arian Foster RB - Shonn Greene WR - Hakeem Nicks WR - Reggie Wayne WR/RB - Julio Jones TE - Jermichael Finley K - Alex Henery DST - Rams Bench - Ryan Fitzpatrick Bench - James Starks Bench - Ben Tate Bench - Lance Moore Bench - Nate Burleson Bench - Jared Cook Overall pretty happy with it. I was hoping Felix was going to fall to me in the fourth, but he went a few picks ahead and I had to settle with Greene. I believe he will be much improved this year, but I am high on Felix. Still a little surprised Foster dropped down to five.
I'd definitely go after another RB to hedge against Matthews. I just think him and Tolbert are going to be a committee, with Tolbert taking some goaline looks. Maybe Freeman + Stewart (not a fan) for somebody. Beanie is going to have all the chance to be the man, but he still scares me
yeah took mjd 3rd. Peterson and Johnson went 1, 2. keeprs for the league were: calvin johnson roddy white brady rivers vick gore dez bryant arian foster jamaal charles mendenhall
Decent. Not a fan of Vick in the 1st. And if Felix doesn't pan out you're screwed. Isn't Hartley hurt? I'm also in a 10 team, no PPR, no flex. I agree with TE, D/ST and K back-ups, although I did draft a QB back-up. Starters: Romo MJD S. Jasckson R. Wayne M. Williams (TB) Mike Thomas (this will probably rotate) Graham Chargers Buehler Bench: Ingram Benson Britt Lee Evans Lance Moore Greg Little Kyle Orton

Need thoughts on this. I am in a 16-team PPR league and I have gone back and forth with a friend on trade offers because I have Matt Stafford and want Calvin Johnson. I have Julio Jones and he is a huge Falcons fan. Talks have sort of died down but I am thinking of offering this and I am unsure if I am coming out on top: I trade: Jamaal Charles, Frank Gore, Julio Jones, Brent Celek, Antonio Brown (he has Big Ben) I receive: Calvin Johnson, Darren McFadden, Felix Jones, Michael Bush (handcuff) I am fairly sure he is very high on Charles. If I do this deal my starting unit would be: QB - Matt Stafford TE - Jason Witten W/R/T - Darren McFadden W/R/T - Felix Jones W/R/T - Calvin Johnson W/R/T - Anquan Boldin W/R/T - Pierre Thomas/Brandon Jacobs Would you say I win or lose that deal?

12 Team PPR, had the 11th pick QB Matt Schaub WR Calvin Johnson WR Reggie Wayne RB LeSean McCoy RB DeAngelo Williams WRT Reggie Bush TE JerMichael Finley K Alex Henery DST Saints Bench WR Sidney Rice WR Pierre Garcon WR Robert Maechem RB Pierre Thomas RB LaDainian Tomlinson DST Texans rationales: They paid williams the big bucks so they must plan on using him fully again, both him and McCoy get a ton of catches, which works for fine in a PPR league, same for Bush, Thomas(who will be the saints starter) and LT. Rice is a bit of a gamble but could be a steal, Garcon and Wayne were compromised but fell, Saints and Texans cuz they have a pretty sweet alternating schedule in matchups and I like the Texans D more than most
