1.) Rondo - I think Rondo did the best top to bottom. Stole Turner in the 3rd. Alot depends on Bradford, but I like him this year. No weaknesses on this team.

2.) Honkus - Loaded at RB...3 guys that could have gone in the 1st in our scoring format. I'm not a fan of waiting so long to take a WR, but Manningham was a steal. I like the other WRs good enough to start depending on the matchups. Peyton Manning was a sneaky pick that will pay off in a few weeks.

3.) Les - One of the better group of starters in the league, even with the Austin/Dez combo. Brady AND Stafford? Should be able to upgrade TE/RB in a few weeks if he wants to let one of those QBs go.

4.) Clams - I don't like this team top to bottom, but the starters are good. McCoy and Jones is a great PPR combo. I like V-Jax and Lloyd too.

5.) Rick - Solid team if MJD can stay healthy. I like the RBs and although I am not crazy about Mike Williams, his WR trio is pretty good. Hopefully Eli can come through.

6.) Chowds - Starters are up there with anyone. Marshall, Wayne, and Boldin is a great WR core, and Owen Daniels in the 8th was a steal.

7.) Vicks Kennel Club - One of the deeper teams in the league. I would rank it higher, but I'm not crazy about the WRs. They are all better standard scoring WRs than PPR WRs with the exception of Collie. I like the Charles/Matthews combo at RB.

8.) Boo - Loved the first 5 picks, but not much after that. I don't like the idea of Maclin and Jackson as the starting WRs for a fantasy team. After Knowshon and Hightower there's not much RB depth. This could be a dangerous team any given week, but I think it will be inconsistent week to week.

9.) Barry - The top 4-5 picks were pretty good, but then you took Santanna Moss and Mike Tolbert back to back and never really recovered. Maybe Spiller breaks out this year and gives you a good flex option. Receivers are pretty weak.

10.) Show me the Money - A lot of question marks with this team. Potentially the starters could be good. I don't know if I'd want flacco as my #1 QB. The #2 WR spot looks shaky. If Amendola picks up where he left off last year it could really be a boost. The top 3 RBs are all fragile. Just a lot of risks.

11.) Rouge - Auto draft killed you. FIVE TE's....Starters are actually pretty solid. You need to try to make a move or two.

12.) Karma - If this were a keeper league you would be looking good with Julio, Green, and Ingram. Unfortunately for you it's not. Your RBs are good but they don't really catch the ball, and your starting WRs are rookies. Whoops...

1)Drunken Clams- man, its really hard to find a stand out bunch in this group. i like Clams cause he has 3 decent RBs, 2 decent WRs, and a good QB in Big Ben. An Jermichel Finley. Just solid players all around.

2.)Honkus- reevaluating his team, i have to say i like the 3RBs on paper, as well as Schaub, and the wildcard that is Peyton Manning. i am pretty shocked Manning lasted until the 7th. Pretty crazy. He could be in trouble at WR but i think he is top heavy enough to pull it off.

3)Barry- Ray Rice is great in PPR, and if Hillis repeats, that is a great duo. Really like Romo this year. Santana Moss is kind of a weak #2 WR, he is just so up and down. We'll see what he can do

4)Chowds- landed Rodgers late in first, then Mendenhall. Thought that was a solid 1/2. Benefited from Reggie Wayne slipping. I really like his WR after that as well, Marshall and Boldin, who i think both rebound. Got great value on Owen Daniel. Dont really like Lynch as RB2 but he has Jon Stewart who is a stud if DWill gets injured. Solid team.

5)Kennel Club- I am high on Ryan Matthews, who is his RB2 to Jamal. Landed Rivers too, and has 3 good WRs, Wallace, COlston and Holmes. RB3 is Green-Ellis. He got really good value. I really like his bench too.

6)Rondo- Mentioned a bit earlier about his team. Really stole Turner in the 3rd. His starters look good on paper. REal good. but a few bring some questions, DWill and Foster(injuries), Stevie Johnson(1 hit wonder?), and starter Bradford. Bradford will chuck it a lot, and has a few new weapons as well as Josh McDaniels, so he could be viable. as much as Nobes makes fun, i think his team's success hinges on QB play cause i think he'll have some problems with his RB's and injuries(just a hunch)

7)LSUBoo- Brees and AJ80, nice duo for PPR and 6pt TD league. Like me, has 2 WR from same team in DJax and Maclin. I really liked Hightower, i think he is a top 10 back in PPR. Kind of bullish on Moreno as RB1, but he has promise. I think he has a few players on his bench with potential to play a lot.

8)Rick- I didnt like the Mike Williams pick in 3rd, but he could prove me wrong. But i think the trio of MJD, LFitz and Bradshaw is solid as frick. Throw in Harvin for good measure and he has some good players. It just sucks that Eli is his QB(had 5 sub 10pt games last year..not good for QB). Just so up and down. id have him higher if not for Eli.

9)Alum2001- Not sure what to think of this squad. My naked eye tells me Wow he really took the PPR scoring to heart. I thought his first 2 picks were real solid. Witten in the 3rd was ok, but could prove costly because I thought his draft dipped after that. Best and Bush are ticking time bombs and Mike Thomas/Amendola are WR2 WR3 on this team. In a perfect world, Bush/Best/Amendola/Thomas all play 16 games and catch balls out the wazzoo. I know that is what he was going for...but how likely? We shall see. I'm not huge on Flacco but he is a better starter than 2-3 teams.

10)Rouge- Man, poor rouge, his draft really started out solid i thought. Im kind of pissed that he just up and left and didnt tell anyone, but then again he is the competition. His starters rank among the best in the league, but in FFB, too often do you need to rely on your bench for bye weeks and injuries. Can he sustain? I dont know, its hard. He has 5 TEs, and none really have trade value. What to do, what to do. Good luck with that.

11)Karma- Had to be rough drafting from an iphone at a party in Santa Monica(or is that rough? IDK). As i mentioned already, RBs are good rushers, but bad PPR guys. To have 1, you can deal with, to grab both of those, ehhh kind of playing with fire. Then again he drafted Vick, who if he plays anything like last year, will have him in the running week to week. His WR corp has 2 rookies and Britt. I see a lot of upside, but also a lot of bust potential. Shoot maybe AJ Green and Julio have great rookie seasons(kind of rare for a WR) and I'll be eating crow. But at this point, IMO, when you stack up his 3 RBS and his top 3 WR against the rest of the league, they don't really match up. a lot of question marks. A team with 4 rookies that you plan to play a lot is always asking for it.
