Tony Romo QB
Mark Sanchez QB
I didn't snag one of the top QBs, but I like Romo for where I got him. Good value. Sanchez... meh. Not a fan, but for where I got him, I can live with him being my #2. I've had him in the past and he'll give me a few excellent weeks to help with Romo's bye or weeks that Romo sucks it up. B
Michael Turner RB
Michael Bush RB
Pierre Thomas RB
LeGarrette Blount RB
Strong WRs means I will be weak somewhere else, and this is it. Turner will lose some touches, but he's still a beast and will get 1000+ yards and 8+ TDs easily this year. The others are either RB2 or RB1a or 1b on their respective teams, and I think they will each produce. Maybe not like a top back, but they are all primed to fill in if an injury comes about, or if the offense looks to use two backs or keep a rotation. C+ (potential to fall to a C or even up into B or B- range if they do more than expected)
Randy Moss WR
Plaxico Burress WR
Larry Fitzgerald WR
Wes Welker WR
Mario Manningham WR
Hakeem Nicks WR
The strength of my team, but also the riskiest. A trio of Fitz, Welker, and Nicks should be lethal each week....assuming they all stay healthy. I'm not sweating Nicks' injury. There's still plenty of time between the actual injury and Week 1. After those three, I'm taking a lot of risk. I am buying into the Moss hype, probably stupidly. But the way I see it and from what I'm hearing, being out last year and having one last chance to prove himself has a hungry Randy ready to prove everyone wrong. With other weapons around, teams won't always be able to double team him, which also helps Manningham. I think it mostly revolves around Alex Smith and whether he can improve more. With the weapons Smith has now, there is no excuse. Finally, Burress still isn't signed, so I'm taking a risk, but it was a late round risk, and I am confident he will find a team and produce well. Personally, I really wish Detroit would give him a shot. I'm not a Burleson fan. A- (potential to fall into B-range or up to A+ if most pan out)
Brandon Pettigrew TE
Ed Dickson TE
Having missed out on the top TEs I looked to the next tier and maybe I'm a little biased, being a Lions fan, but I like Pettigrew a good bit. As defenses key more on Calvin, it
will open up more lanes for Pettigrew. Dickson is a decent backup, but is contending with Pitta for touches. B-
Rob Bironas K
Dan Bailey K
Chicago Bears Def/ST
Kansas City Chiefs DEF/ST
Two decent kickers, and two decent DEF/ST. Check and check. B
I feel ROMO IS one of the top QBs, best top option you can get late outside the top 6. He's my TARGET QB, however, he's the most DIFFICULT to target, because you have to wait for hte top 6 to go, then be in the right place at the right time to land him. He's the undisputed #7 QB IMO that belongs in the Top 6, likely ahead of Vick. I think Blount was the perfect late add to that RB stable. Turner you can still count on for production, although I think it will be similar to Gore 2011, he plays every game, but doesn't wow us. Bush and Pierre may end up being those boring rb2 and 3 that never produce like a 1, but give you the solid points you need here and there or on byes. Will be interesting to see how the Saints backfield shakes out. Drafting Ingram that high, and having Sproles, hate to see dreaded 3 headed backs for #FF purposes.
Going Fitz, Welker, Nicks obviously the strength of the team and on most weeks should be your 3 starters. Funny to see Moss and Plax on the same team, old has beens, lol.. Think Plax gets signed somewhere huh? I'm not so sure. The SF duo form a quality #3WR for bye weeks.
Love Pettigrew in this format, he's a high catch guy. These are actually the two TEs I had in FFPC that I finished Top 10 overall last year, the combo will work!
I think you're too hard on your QB and RBs. Good team, 2 Ks and 2 DSTs, I like it. The question if this is a playoff team will reside with the pizazz of the RBs and the bye weeks. Not seeing them here, there may be conflicts that arise causing H2H issues. If you don't make the playoffs, you can blame it on going too fast at the WR position and having a little more balance at RB.
