What is your ideal starting lineup for your league? Can be any type of league. Here's mine:
.5 PPR / Standard Scoring
QB: Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints)
The guy is a threat to break the passing record every season. Has shown the ability to throw 5 touchdowns in any given game and given the Saints terrible defense, he may have to. Whew, great player.
RB: Adrian Peterson (Minnesota Vikings)
Who's more consistent than AP? The guy destroys. Has the ability to break the rushing and touchdown record in any given season. He is truth, a badass. There's no doubt.
RB2: Arian Foster (Houston Texans)
The Houston Texans heartbeat is the running game. Arian Foster is the feature of that running game and based on past stats there's no reason to think he won't continue. Ride this guy to til' he stops producing. You'll be pissed if he goes off on someone elses team.
WR1: Calvin Johnson (Detroit Lions)
Best Wide Receiver in the game. Matt Stafford will throw the ball a million times, if this guy isn't the number 1 Wide Receiver on the board, you're crazy. Calvin Johnson will break records.
WR2: Demaryius Thomas (Denver Broncos)
Peyton Manning is a beast. Whoever his #1 target is won't bust. Welker? He choked in the Super Bowl against the Giants the most recent time and that's all I remember. Demaryius Thomas is the true playmaker, Decker may have the edge in the RZ. But who else in the league can you honestly say has more upside? That's right, no one.
Crabtree owners take notice. Can you tell me why? Still you need to believe in Kaepernick.
WR3: Brandon Marshall (Chicago Bears)
There are few constants in the NFL and one of those constants is that Jay Cutler will relentlessly throw the ball to Brandon Marshall. You may not care about the Bears, you might not care about Trestman. But Marshall will see the ball, hands down. Those two have a repoiture.
TE1: Jimmy Graham (New Orleans Saints)
He's the best option on the team that throws the most and most efficiently. If this guy is healthy, Drew Brees will spam this guy a million times. Even when the Saints lose, Drew Brees makes sure to pad his stats.
TE2: Tony Gonzalez (Atlanta Falcons)
Uh, dude's a HOF. He posted an amazing year last year and I doubt he would come back if he didn't think he could produce and help out a Championship calibre team. Matt Ryan and him have chemistry and this team should pass a lot. He's got another elite season left in the tank, give him a go if the price is right.
DEF: Seattle Seahawks
They've got a great run game and a QB who if anything is going to make smart decisions with the ball. Their CBS are generally shutdown and provide a lot of upside. Not a lot of elite options this year, but this is the group I would roll with.
