As I do with all my rankings, I didn't rank my team. Here's how I see it:

BR Steak Sandwich

The bargain team is what I like to call it. Roddy White, Alfred Morris, Vincent Jackson, Reggie Bush and Desean Jackson all went for bargains. Then he spent $8 on Josh Gordon. Maybe it's just me, but I can't spend more than a couple of bucks on a guy who may suspended 8+ games. Doug Martin at $33 is also a little steep for my taste. But if Cam performs as a top-5 QB and Jason Witten remains a good PPR player, this team will be one of the top contenders for the top spot.

Team Dav

The starting lineup is sexy: DeMarco Murray, Jordy Nelson, Jimmy Graham, Wes Welker and Reggie Wayne. Chris Johnson is meh at RB#2, but you can't be strong at every position. Also a little suspect on Matt Ryan, but he certainly has the weapons to be a top-6 QB. Some solid depth with Danny Woodhead and Mauriece Jones-Drew

Libs Tiger

Great Big 3 with LeSean McCoy, Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas. Andre Ellington is a little scary, but in a PPR, you could be just fine. I hate Emmanuel Sanders as a No. 2 WR, and I'm not particularly enamored with any of your $1 or $2 players. If Tom Brady returns to form, your Big 3 could easily turn into a Big 4.

Drizz Tiger

Depth and a stud up top. Not a bad way to construct a team. You have four running backs who could start on a weekly basis in a PPR league, headlined by Jamaal Charles. And then four to five more wide receivers who could also start. I like Jordan Cameron, not in love with him, but you got him for a solid price. Colin Kaepernick can't put up any of those stinkers like he did last year.

BilJ

Team hinges on two factors: Does Ray Rice become a top-12 back again, and can Rob Gronkowski stay healthy. Good value on both Gronk and Andre Johnson. If he spent the $8 he did on Jordan and the $8 and $4 Jeremy Maclin and Danny Amendola (or Nuke Hopkins) respectively, and used that money on say Pierre Garçon then this may have been the team to beat.

Can't believe I'm ranking a team with three wide receivers like he has this low, but I feel he's still missing one more piece. If he just had one more guy, he'd be top-3, IMO. Not big on Nick Foles. Frank Gore and Fred Jackson are old but reliable. They just aren't going to give you any monster games. We play a weekly game, you need big points. Marcellus Bennett is just as good of a flier type tight end as any of those 8-14 ranked guys. So no problem with that.

Noneless

This team has some solid PPR players. Joique Bell, Rashad Jennings, Julio Jones and Victor Cruz. Good core. Love Michael Floyd, and if Toby Gerhart becomes a top-20 back, you're in good shape. I like the LaDarius Green and Kelvin Benjamin cheap pick ups.

AirBorneJonny

Great core to build from. Needs to work the waiver wire. He also needs to hope RG3 gets hurt, or a Nick Foles flops -- just examples -- and is able to move Romo for depth. Big fan of Terrance Williams, and Cecil Shorts is not a bad No. 3. Heath Miller at tight end? Yuck.

1860 Pissed

If Andrew Luck takes that leap this year, this team can contend. The wide receiving core could produce big time. Michael Crabtree and Cordarrelle Patterson could both end up top-15 guys, then you pair them with Alshon Jeffrey and Vernon Davis, that's a good group. Don't like Bishop Sankey for $18 or Greg Jennings for $6. Should have combined those two and gotten yourself a solid No. 2.

CajunCrooks

He went running back heavy, grabbing Arian Foster, Le'Veon Bell, Ryan Matthews and Trent Richardson. Bell and Foster could catch a lot of balls, but I just don't know about the receivers. Keenan Allen I'm slightly nervous about, thinking he was touchdown dependent in the latter part of the year, and not even Julian Edelman's agent is convinced he catches 100 balls, or comes anywhere close, again. Maybe Sammy Watkins busts out, but I can't rank this team too because of the wideouts.

Abellsu

Don't get what he was trying to do at all. Spent $59 on Matt Forte -- next highest player was $56 -- and then a total of $19 on his kicker, defense and Justin Hunter. He has to have Hunter pop. He does have Peyton Manning, so along with Forte, he should still have a chance. It's going to take some managing, though.

Thought Martin would go for a lot more, was just trying to speed things up with the $33 bid. I'm happy with him, everyone else in Tampa is injured.

I'm pretty stacked at WR and think Josh Gordon will return as a WR1 for me. I don't actually need him.

QB Cam Newton
RB Reggie Bush (point for every screen pass he catches)
RB Alfred Morris
RB Doug Martin
WR Desaun Jackson
WR Vincent Jackson
WR Roddy White
WR Riley Cooper
TE Jason Witten

Some PPR gold on my roster. I made a couple trade offers. I'm open to everything if anyone wants to talk trade.
