I'm bored, so I'll do some quick reviews. I'm not going to manually type out the rosters and don't feel like manually deleting all of the Breaking News Draft stuff from the copy+paste, so sorry about that weirdness :

TATOR TOTS
10 Dez Bryant, Dal WR
15 Calvin Johnson, Det WR
34 Frank Gore, Ind RB
39 Davante Adams, GB WR
58 Doug Martin, TB RB
63 Ameer Abdullah, Det RB
82 Shane Vereen, NYG RB
87 Roddy White, Atl WR
106 Matt Ryan, Atl QB
111 Delanie Walker, Ten TE
130 Charles Sims, TB RB
135 Breshad Perriman, Bal WR
154 Roy Helu, Oak RB
159 Patriots D/ST D/ST
178 Matt Bryant, Atl K


Those WR's are terrifying. I don't like Gore very much. Martin has looked good, but he's going to have one of the worst OL's in the NFL blocking for him, and he's still tough to trust. I don't know what to make of Joique/Abdullah. White looked like a big reach. Vereeen/Helu could end up being really good PPR players, or could end up buried.

I think your WRs are so good that you just need your RBs to be OK. This should be a playoff team.

----------------------------------------------

CQ Q
12 C.J. Anderson, Den RB
13 Odell Beckham Jr., NYG WR
36 Latavius Murray, Oak RB
37 Jimmy Graham, Sea TE
60 DeSean Jackson, Wsh WR
61 Danny Woodhead, SD RB
84 Tony Romo, Dal QB
85 Duke Johnson, Cle RB
108 Victor Cruz, NYG WR
109 Tevin Coleman, Atl RB
132 DeVante Parker, Mia WR
133 David Cobb, Ten RB
156 Kenny Stills, Mia WR
157 Eagles D/ST D/ST
180 Blair Walsh, Min K

I don't trust Denver RBs early. It's bitten me one too many times. The potential for CJ to be a top 5 fantasy RB is there, though. ODB is a monster. Murry averaged 4.1ypc last season outside of his 90 yard TD, which is just OK. He hasn't done much of note this preseason. Graham is looking a bit risky, but he could be huge for you, and was definitely worth taking a chance on that late. I don't trust any Redskin players. I don't know what Woodhead's role will be with Gordon there. Coleman will be a steal if he beats out Freeman. Ditto Cobb/Sankey.

I love ODB, but the rest of the team just feels OK to me. Feels .500 team, though with a high upside if things break right.

---------------------------------------

TEAM DCBJR6
5 Antonio Brown, Pit WR
20 LeSean McCoy, Buf RB
29 Jordan Matthews, Phi WR
44 Todd Gurley, StL RB
53 Arian Foster*, Hou RB
68 Vincent Jackson, TB WR
77 Alfred Blue, Hou RB
92 Martavis Bryant, Pit WR
101 Devonta Freeman, Atl RB
116 Knile Davis, KC RB
125 Eli Manning, NYG QB
140 Darren Sproles, Phi RB
149 Benjamin Watson, NO TE
164 Steven Hauschka, Sea K
173 Browns D/ST D/ST

Brown could be the best PPR player in the league. Shady should be OK in Buffalo, though a lot of people don't like him. Martavis was a really nice pick in the 8th round. I don't like either TB WR with rookie Winston learning the ropes. Davis could be a stud if Charles goes down.

This team could be really scary at the end of the season, but it's fricked early on. Shady is no guarantee to play week 1 and may not be at full strength for a while. Gurley will be on a snap count for a while. Foster is going to miss at least 4 games, possibly twice as many. Alfred Blue isn't a good player. I think you start off the season really poorly, then finish strong and end up around .500. You should probably try to move Gurley or Foster for more immediate RB help.

TEAM DRAKE20
8 Rob Gronkowski, NE TE
17 DeMarco Murray, Phi RB
32 Melvin Gordon, SD RB
41 Drew Brees, NO QB
56 Brandon Marshall, NYJ WR
65 Martellus Bennett, Chi TE
80 Steve Smith Sr., Bal WR
89 Bishop Sankey, Ten RB
104 David Johnson, Ari RB
113 Jonas Gray, NE RB
128 Reggie Wayne, NE WR
137 Jordy Nelson*, GB WR
152 Ty Montgomery, GB WR
161 Adam Vinatieri, Ind K
176 Panthers D/ST D/ST

Tough to tell how Gronk will play with Garoppolo early on. He's a hunk though. Eagles will mix things up at RB, but Murray was still easily worth the selection at 17. Things went a bit downhill from there. Gordon has not looked good in the preseason, and it will probably take him a while to get going. Brees is going to be handing the ball off a lot more, and who is going to be throwing to Marshall? Sankey may end up being Ten's #2 RB. Nelson was a steal, and started off the chain of injured keepers being picked up. Well done, but he doesn't help your team this year, obviously. Steve Smith looks great, though.

This team has a good chance at being stuck with two really bad fantasy players in the starting lineup (Marshall and whomever he puts in the FLEX). The rest of the team isn't good enough to make up for it. Looks like a bottom 4 team.

-----------------------------

TEAM TIGERNATION09
11 Matt Forte, Chi RB
14 Demaryius Thomas, Den WR
35 Alfred Morris, Wsh RB
38 Peyton Manning, Den QB
59 Andre Ellington, Ari RB
62 Allen Robinson, Jac WR
83 Devin Funchess, Car WR
86 Julius Thomas, Jac TE
107 Ronnie Hillman, Den RB
110 Stevie Johnson, SD WR
131 Tyler Eifert, Cin TE
134 Fred Jackson, Buf RB
155 Kelvin Benjamin*, Car WR
158 Cardinals D/ST D/ST
179 Dan Carpenter, Buf K

I think this team is pretty terrible. Forte is going to decline. Thomas is a really good player, but I think the Broncos are definitely going to be more run heavy this year, and I expect Manning to have his worst season in a long time. Morris is meh and I don't like Ellington one bit. I did like the Hillman/Stevie Johnson back to back picks. Like I said earlier, I don't trust Denver RBs early in the draft. For a 9th rounder, Hillman could very well end up getting 40% of their RB touches. He's talented enough to do it. Who knows.

This will be the worst team in the league unless Manning shocks me, in which case it could flirt with .500.

----------------------------
FEAR THE LOBO
1 Le'Veon Bell, Pit RB
24 Mark Ingram, NO RB
25 T.Y. Hilton, Ind WR
48 Amari Cooper, Oak WR
49 Jarvis Landry, Mia WR
72 Rashad Jennings, NYG RB
73 Jason Witten, Dal TE
96 John Brown, Ari WR
97 Ryan Tannehill, Mia QB
120 Matt Jones, Wsh RB
121 Torrey Smith, SF WR
144 Kevin White*, Chi WR
145 Jameis Winston, TB QB
168 Broncos D/ST D/ST
169 Justin Tucker, Bal K

Bell will be the fantasy MVP. Ingram can help pick up his slack if Spiller misses time, though I'm not a huge fan as I really think the Saints will spread the RB wealth a bit (we've all seen what Khiry can do). Like Hilton there. Cooper was a bit of a reach given the QB situation, though he's super talented. I think you'll end up playing Landry and BRown more. I don't like Jennings, but there weren't going to be many better options in the 6th round.

This is a good team, though not the "scariest." Decent playoff chances, could be very good if Spiller/Khiry miss a lot of time, or if Alfred Morris is injured and this Matt Jones guy is legit.

I am definitely anticipating a stumble out of the gates. 2-2 in my first four would be a win, IMO. I drafted Foster off of the reports from the weekend that he's running and working out and it looks to be week 2-4 now, so yeah I'm definitely fricked if it's longer. Certainly not ideal to pair with Gurley. I would not have grabbed both of them if not for this being a keeper league. I figured a few early losses could be worth the keeper value next season. If they hit their stride earlier than halfway through the season, that's just a big bonus. VJax was kind of a BPA pick. Not crazy about him either.

I really couldn't agree with your analysis any more. Spot on. I'm definitely open to trade Gurley, if any one is interested in his value for next year. Especially whoever drafted Mason. I do need a trustworthy RB, so if anyone wants to make an offer, feel free.

I agree with this, I'm not too optimistic. It's nice having back to back picks but I found myself reaching on some because my picks were so far apart.
