Overview:

We'll start by complimenting you on your strength at quarterback and receiver. As you know, it's very difficult in a competitive league to assemble a team that is strong at QB, RB, and WR, so just about every team will have a weakness. As you probably suspect, we perceive yours to be at running back.

This is often a tough weakness to mask, though, so you must be prepared to be very active in waivers and trades to change the composition of this team. Most drafts go very deep at the RB position and that usually means there are just table scraps left for those weak at the position.

But the good news is that running backs do emerge every year post-draft. Last year guys like Knowshon Moreno and Zac Stacy could be had dirt cheap at the draft. In fact, they most likely were not rostered before the season started. Yet these players could have taken a weakness and made it into a strength for their prospective owners. This is the move you are going to need to make this year to take this team to a clear contender.
Players we particularly like on this team include Delanie Walker and A.J. Green. We have both these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.

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 30 percent chance of making the playoffs.

Let's start by remarking that we appreciate your old-school leanings: you have a team marked by strength at the running back position. Because the position is so sought after, a team constructed like this usually has a chance to make the playoffs. But with the quarterback and wide receiver both being less strong, you may need to do something to change the outlook of this team. Your deficiencies are likely to show themselves through the bye weeks, so try to manuever early in improving the quarterback and/or receiver positions before week four. Keep an eye out for quarterbacks like Nick Foles from last year, Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck from the year before, and Cam Newton the year before that. All were available cheap in August, and all contributed to fantasy championship teams. Similarly, wide receivers like Julian Edelman, Keenan Allen, and Riley Cooper were available after a lot of the drafts last season. Landing some of this year's top waiver players would be a huge help, so pay close attention to increased workloads, targets, injuries, etc. Players we particularly like on this team include Rashad Jennings and Mark Ingram. We have both these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted. Bottom line: With great inseason management, we think you have about a 55 percent chance of making the playoffs. With good inseason management, we think you have about a 40 percent chance of making the playoffs. With average inseason management, we think you have a 20 percent chance of making the playoffs.

Report: Gronkowski questionable for Week 1

According to a source with knowledge of the situation, Rob Gronkowski (ACL, MCL surgery) is "50-50" for Week 1.
Optimism for Gronk's Week 1 availability swelled after he avoided active/PUP, but he's yet to be cleared for contact or participate in team drills. He is still just over seven months removed from tearing two knee ligaments, meaning he'd be on a Peterson-esque timeline for the start of the season. The fact that Gronk avoided the PUP list means the Patriots are confident he'll be available some time in the first six games, but his Week 1 status can't be taken for granted. This being the Pats, substantive updates might be hard to come by between now and September 7, when Gronk and Co. kick things off with a trip to Miami.
