Overview:

We think you're looking good at quarterback and running back. The receiver corps is a concern though.

The good news is that, of all of the weaknesses to have, this one is usually the most survivable. At receiver, it's often relatively easy to find fill-in guys on a weekly basis until a better player emerges during the season.
Last year wide receivers like Odell Beckham, Jr. and Brandon LaFell went undrafted in many leagues. But these guys likely helped the fantasy teams that landed them in 2013. Stay atop the news and watch the target report to find the break out players weeks before the rest of the world wants them and you'll be in the mix.

Bottom line:

With great inseason management, we think you have about a 65 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With good inseason management, we think you have about a 50 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With average inseason management, we think you have a 31 percent chance of making the playoffs.

QB Summary:

We have Matthew Stafford rated #7 among quarterbacks, which makes him a less-than-stellar starter in this league. But we like the selection of our #11-rated QB, Matt Ryan, to go with him. Hopefully between the two of them, you should be able to cobble together some good production at the position, but this strategy always carries with it the downside that you'll drive yourself crazy trying to decide who to start from week to week.

Carson Palmer is an excellent depth pick, though you may not end up using him much.

RB Summary:

Nice work here. We like both your starting running backs, as our projections indicate that they give you a combined 2.7 point-per-game advantage over an average opponent in this league. Our projections have Jamaal Charles ranked at #2 and Lamar Miller ranked 12th.

Your bench also looks good. Devonta Freeman should serve as a very solid third running back. Tre Mason should also be solidly above average at RB4.

WR Summary:

We see all your starters at receiver as below average. Alshon Jeffery is our 10th ranked WR, Vincent Jackson is #19, and we have Steve Smith 39th.

We don't particularly like Devin Funchess as a fourth receiver.

We might suggest adding a bit more depth here. See the end of the report for some suggestions on who to pick up.

TE Summary:

Heath Miller is viable but below average as a starting tight end (we have him ranked #12). We're also not too fired up about Charles Clay as a backup.

Kicker Summary:

We don't think Dan Carpenter is starter quality in this league. Keep a sharp eye on the waiver wire.
