Draft Results and Grades

Yep...it's that time again...for me to give out my opinions on how everyone's draft went. To be honest this was one of the most difficult drafts I can remember, especially when factoring in keepers. It's really hard to grade as well because..well because there's not a lot of players I like fantasy wise but SOMEONE'S going to end up hitting big..I just have zero idea who. There are so many landmines with boom or bust players (especially at the running back position) that's hard to really gauge who did well or not, but I'll try my best. So without further ado.....time to get grading!! (and please don't take this serious coughDADcough, I'm not a professional, it's simply my opinions and I've been known to be dead wrong a lot of the times).


Leland (No Soup For You)

QB: Matt Ryan, Carson Wentz

WR: A.J. Green, Michael Thomas, Keenan Allen, Jamison Crowder, Ted Ginn Jr., Kenny Golladay

RB: David Johnson, Lamar Miller, Joe Mixon, Theo Riddick

TE: Kyle Rudolph, Evan Engram

Overall Thoughts: No super surprises here this time for Leland, who used the #1 pick of the draft on the best player available on the board, A.J. Green. That combined with keeping David Johnson and Michael Thomas, once again makes Leland the overall favorite to win the league this season. He's absolutely loaded at receiver, with Keenan Allen and Jamison Crowder joining the aforementioned Green and Thomas. Health is the #1 concern with Allen, but if he can just stay healthy, this guy can produce WR1 numbers and he's Leland's #3. Crowder is also a pretty good PPR receiver. With Ted Ginn on the Saints now and Willie Snead suspended, he could provide a solid bye week filler. Golladay is purely a flier, though he definitely showed some talent in the preseason. To go along with David Johnson, Leland took Lamar Miller in round 2. I'm not gonna lie...not a fan of Miller's. I know the picking were slim at RB at this point, but I'd much rather have taken Carlos Hyde than Miller. Maybe Miller bounces back and it's not like Leland needs elite level production from him. I do LOVE the Mixon pick though. I think he's going to be really good once given the reigns. The problem is, it might take a few weeks, but Leland's in the perfect position to stash him. He's got plenty of depth to keep Mixon on the bench, something that most of us can't do. I think Mixon will be a better fantasy play than Lamar Miller by the end of the season. I made fun of Theo Riddick last season when Alex had him, but he really is a nice PPR running back. The Lions just don't really run much and though it seems they might rededicate themselves to the run with Ameer Abdullah, I'll believe it when I see it. Riddick should still be heavily involved and Leland can use him in a pinch when need be. At QB, Leland was able to wait it out a bit and get a solid fantasy QB in Matt Ryan. I really like Ryan at QB and Leland just has so many potentially high scoring weapons, it's insane, though I'm not too sold on Wentz, but he's only a bye week play. At tight end, well it's always going to be a crap shoot. Kyle Rudolph should be decent. I think Evan Engram is an interesting flier. Typically rookies tight ends don't do much, but the Giants are a pass heavy team and there's a chance Engram develops into a solid contributor. If not, it's not a big deal. Overall, on paper, this is the team to beat. Hopefully this season, paper translates to the actual games.

Overall Grade: A+

Dad (BigBadBob)

QB: Aaron Rodgers, Dak Prescott, Alex Smith

WR: DeAndre Hopkins, Devante Adams, Cole Beasley, Devin Funchess

RB: Devonta Freeman, Isaiah Crowell, Eddie Lacy, Jonathan Stewart

TE: Tyler Eifert, Eric Ebron, C.J. Fiedorowicz 

Overall Thoughts: I actually think Yahoo was harsh on Ol' Dad. I don't think this is a 3 win team at all. So Dad already had Devante Adams and Devonta Freeman as keepers and with the #2 pick he decided on Aaron Rodgers. I know some people think it's crazy taking a QB that early, but I don't, not when it comes to Rodgers. Maybe if A.J. Green had slipped to #2, but considering what was left on the board, I have zero problem with grabbing the best fantasy QB available. It's not like Dad didn't already have players at other positions anyways (including a potential top 5 RB in Freeman). I think Dad's first half of the draft was great. I don't necessarily get the Isaish Crowell hype, but he slipped to a point where it became a value pick, especially since other teams were taking risks on rookie RB's like Fournette, McCaffery, Kareem Hunt, and Dalvin Cook. Those guys COULD potential be fantasy studs, but in the 2nd round, that's a high price to pay. At least Crowell has a track record and if given a choice between those guys, I'd rather play it safe with Crowell. For what was there, I think the Hopkins pick has the potential to be good as well. He might not replicate the season he had two seasons ago, but Hopkins still has the ability to be a solid #1 receiver in a PPR league. I also like the risk Dad took with Tyler Eifert. Health is a concern, but he's one of the better tight ends when he's healthy. Dad was seriously on his way to one of the better drafts in the league, but then..after round 5..it just kinda went downhill. Every year Dad takes a backup QB way too early. Not only did he take one in the 6th round (when some teams didn't even a QB) he took Dak Prescott. I'm just not sold on Dak in fantasy, much less when Matt Ryan was still on the board. There were still some solid receivers on the board (Garcon, Maclin, Brandon Marshall to name a few) and that just felt like a throwaway pick too early. Cole Beasley is ok, but I really don't think he's WR3 material, more like a bye week fill in/flex play and honestly I don't know what to expect from Devin Funchess. Eddie Lacy also seems like a waste (rather have Terrence West, Duke Johnson, or even Theo Riddick than Lacy) and Jonathan Stewart is ok where  Dad got him, but the time byes kick in, there's a possibility that Stewart loses more and more work to Christan McCaffery. Dad's also carrying three QB's and three tight ends which is just overkill. Some teams don't even carry two tight ends much less 3, although when looking at it, Dad does have extra insurance in case Eifert and Ebron both get hurt (and they are injury prone). Despite the underwhelming 2nd half of the draft, I still think Dad has a chance to compete for the playoffs. It's definitely not as bad as Yahoo makes it seem.

Overall Grade: C+ (he'll probably get maddddd)

Matt (Light's Broken Bots)

QB: Tom Brady, Sam Bradford

WR: Jordy Nelson, Dez Bryant, Demaryius Thomas, Martavis Bryant, Donte Moncrief, Tyler Lockett

RB: Paul Perkins, Tevin Coleman, Duke Johnson Jr., LeGarrette Blount

TE: Hunter Henry, Jared Cook

Overall Thoughts: Here's the first team that I completely disagree with Yahoo's assessment. Yahoo gave Matt the Best Draft Award and projects him to go 12-1 on the season. Hey, any team that has Tom Brady and Jordy Nelson is going to be a contender, but 12-1?! So Matt autodrafted the majority of his team and he's SUPER loaded at WR. In addition to Jordy, he added Dez Bryant, Demaryius Thomas, and Martavis Bryant (I really like Martavis a lot and was hoping to add him myself). The problem is, he totally ignored the running back position and he has by far the WORST running backs in the league. Paul Perkins and Tevin Coleman are just not going to cut it and though it's nice to have such great players at Wide Receiver, Dez and Demaryius do have the possibility to disappoint (Dak and Trevor Simien aren't exactly gunslingers). Tevin Coleman is great, but Devonta Freeman is still the #1 back here and though Coleman will have his good games, he'll also have games where he'll disappear. Perkins isn't a good back and the Giants aren't a running team at all. Matt's other running backs are Duke Johnson (who isn't bad in a PPR league, hell he's probably better than Paul Perkins) and LeGarrette Blount who's been AWFUL so far in Philly. I just don't see how Matt can go all season with these backs. His tight ends aren't bad, but Hunter Henry's still dealing with being behind Antonio Gates and that might limit his upside unless the Chargers finally decide to give Henry the starting job. Obviously Brady is a beast, and don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Matt's team sucks or anything, this team can definitely win a title, it's just not head and shoulders above everyone else like Yahoo seems to think. This is team that definitely should make the playoffs for sure, I just think to get to that next level you have to have one decent back and though I could be wrong, I just don't one here. 

Overall Grade: B+ Like I said, this team doesn't suck, it's one of the better ones and having Tom Brady along with that group of receivers is definitely a major plus, but with the glaring lack of a running game, I can't go higher than a B+

Marc ( Shock The Monkey)

QB: Russell Wilson, DeShone Kizer

WR: Doug Baldwin, Tyreek Hill, Brandin Cooks, Rishard Matthews, Mike Wallace, Jordan Matthews

RB: DeMarco Murray, Mike Gillislee, Frank Gore, Matt Forte

TE: Delanie Walker, Julius Thomas 

Overall Thoughts: So Marc decided to only keep 1 player in DeMarco Murray, which is fine but Tyreek Hill would've been a 5th round keeper had he kept him and instead he let him go only to redraft him in the 3rd round. Despite that hiccup I really like what Marc did here. He's got a really solid team led by his 1st round pick Brandin Cooks. Also I felt like he got a steal in Doug Baldwin and was surprised Baldwin fell that low into the 2nd round. Marc potentially has two top 10 receivers and along with solid PPR guys like Rishard Matthews, and Mike Wallace and also Tyreek Hill who has great potential, this is a pretty loaded WR group. Even Jordan Matthews is worth a flier on Marc's bench. So to go with Murray, the rest of Marc's RB's are fairly questionable. Not a fan of Gillislee at all, there is just way to many RB's in the Patriots backfield. It's going to be a week to week crapshoot on who's going to be RB that goes off. I actually think Frank Gore, despite his advanced age, is a better fantasy football player than Gillislee. Again, another value pick for where Gore went. Marc is did well in the tight end department where he nabbed Delanie Walker, who's always a solid play, and Julius Thomas as a potential bye week fill in. What puts Marc over the top? The potential of Russell Wilson. A lot of people are expecting big things this year from him and if he lives up to his potential, Marc's definitely going to have a great, potentially championship season. 

Overall Grade: A, I really love Marc's team and how he drafted (outside of the Tyreek thing). I grade his team slightly above Matt's because Marc's receivers are nearly just as good, and his running backs blow Matt's away. I think Marc will definitely be in title contention this season.

Drew (Baby Carrots)

QB: Cam Newton, Tyrod Taylor

WR: Allen Robinson, DeVante Parker, Emmanuel Sanders, Adam Thielen, Corey Davis, Paul Richardson, Kasen Williams

RB: Todd Gurley, Dalvin Cook, Terrence West, Jacquizz Rodgers

TE: Jack Doyle

Overall Thoughts: Considering what Drew had to work with (no really viable keepers, he kept Allen Robinson by default) I don't think he did that bad of a job. Certainly not as bad as Yahoo thinks, who projected Drew to win 1 game all season. C'mon now, I look at Drew's team and I don't see a 1 win team. This team oozes potential, but it could easily bust as well. I like the risks Drew took. High Upside, High Risk guys. Might as well try to hit a home run. Drew's combo of Todd Gurley and Dalvin Cook comes with a ton of potential and upside (we've seen what Gurley is capable of doing before last year's terrible season) but it's also got a solid chance of blowing up in Drew's face. Terrence West is the definition of boring, but to be honest in the fantasy game, he's not to terrible of an option just because of the opportunity he's going to get. Jacquizz Rodgers will also be a solid play through Doug Martin's suspension. At receiver, DeVante Parker is another one those young stars primed to breakout, combined that a solid veteran like Emmanuel Sanders and a potential bounce back candidate in Allen Robinson and it's a surprisingly solid group of receivers. I think Adam Thielan is underrated and can be counted on as a flex or bye week fill in. Drew's other wide receivers? Total crapshoots (I don't even know who Kasen Williams is!!). Drew's also looking for a bounce back season from Cam Newton. If Cam can come close to the Cam of 2015, Drew's going to be a darkhorse playoff contender. Tight end is admittedly weak as Drew's only carrying one and it's Jack Doyle. 

Overall Grade: C+. Based on Potential alone I think Drew at the very least as some solid keeper prospects that could pan out. This seems more like a rebuilding year, but if things come to place, this team has the potential to really make some noise. Definitely a team to watch.

Mike (Woe Is You)

QB: Carson Palmer, Andy Dalton

WR: Odell Beckham Jr, Terrelle Pryor Sr., Pierre Garcon, Tyrell Williams, Cooper Kupp

RB: Kareem Hunt, Bilal Powell, Rob Kelley, Darren McFadden, Jamaal Charles

TE: Greg Olsen, Cameron Brate

Overall Thoughts: So Mike started off with Odell Beckham and Terrell Pryor as his wide receivers, so he was able to focus on other positions to start the draft. Pryor was worth a 14th round keep for sure, and the rest of Mike's receiving core is boring but solid. I think Garcon is an underrated WR3 and I think he'll get plenty of targets in San Francisco. Tyrell Williams is really good, but there's a lot of mouths to feed and it's going to be hard to pin point which games Williams will go off in. As a potential fill in though he's definitely worth rostering. Cooper Kupp is a total dart throw and could definitely be one of Mike's first cuts should he need to pick up a free agent. As for RB's, just because I dealt with Spencer Ware and how Andy Reid dealt with him as the lead back, I'd be weary of Kareem Hunt. Hunt was a nice steal when he was going 5th roundish but in the 2nd round...HUGE risk to me. Bilal Powell helped Alex win a championship last year, and he's a solid RB in PPR. I really also like the Rob Kelley pick because he's by far and away their best RB. It's nice to have a guy who's going to be getting a majority of the touches. Again, nothing screams exciting but should get the job done. McFadden only has value is Zeke is suspended and I can't see Jamaal Charles lasting long on Mike's roster. If you're going to get a top Tight End, might as well get one of the most durable and that's what Greg Olsen is. I also like Brate as the backup tight end. I feel like Mike's got a solid if not spectacular team. I don't know if it has the makings of a championship contender (maybe if Pryor is the real deal and Hunt lives up to the hype) but I definitely think Mike will be in the thick of things when it comes to a playoff spot.

Overall Grade: B
 
 Kenny (Easy Beasley)

QB: Marcus Mariota, Philip Rivers, DeShaun Watson

WR: Antonio Brown, Jarvis Landry, Jeremy Maclin, Sterling Shepard, Mike Williams

RB: Jay Ajayi, Christian McCaffrey, Mark Ingram, Danny Woodhead, 

TE: Travis Kelce, O.J. Howard

Overall Thoughts: So Kenny's back and was lucky to have Antonio Brown and Jay Ajayi to start off his comeback. Kenny decided to take a chance on Christian McCaffrey and in Round 2 that's definitely a risky move that could pay off greatly. He just might have to have some patience because there's still a solid chance Jonathan Stewart is still heavily involved. He better hope McCaffery pans out because I'm not a big fan of the rest of his RB's. I think Ingram and Peterson are going to cancel each other out as far as fantasy potential and though Danny Woodhead is a solid PPR play, having depend on him as RB2 if McCaffrey busts is not really ideal. As far as Kenny's receivers go, picking Jarvis Landry is extremely dicey considering there's a chance he gets suspended for domestic violence. That would leave Jeremy Maclin, Sterling Shepard, and an injury rookie Mike Williams as his only receivers left. On the bright side, Kenny's got the #1 scoring tight end from last year in Travis Kelce, though O.J. Howard is definitely not going to last on Kenny's team. Kenny's got a solid stable of QB's in Mariota and Rivers and even took a flier on DeShaun Watson. I just think Russell Wilson has a lot more upside, but Kenny's been burned by him before so was weary taking him. 

Overall Grade: B, obviously Antonio Brown and Jay Ajayi boost this, and McCaffrey has superstar potential, but outside of Kelce after them, it just seems underwhelming. Not as high as Yahoo is on this team, but it's definitely a playoff caliber team.

 Eugene (Rocket Man)

QB: Matthew Stafford

WR: Julio Jones, Kelvin Benjamin, Eric Decker, Kenny Britt, Kenny Stills, Nelson Agholor

RB: Melvin Gordon, Ameer Abdullah, C.J. Anderson, C.J. Prosise, Rex Burkhead, Matt Jones

TE: Rob Gronkowski 

Overall Thoughts: So Eugene kept Julio Jones and Melvin Gordon to start things off  and followed that up with Gronk with his 1st pick (2nd round overall). If Gronk stays healthy, that's  one hell of a combo to deal with. I also love the Kelvin Benjamin pick (another guy I wanted) and think he's going to be really good this season. After that though, I dunno, not really digging the rest of this squad. For RB's, too many guys on committees (Prosise, Anderson, and Burkhead, not to mention that Matt Jones probably falls behind both Gore and Robert Turbin when he's healthy) and an RB2 on a team that doesn't run very much (I lot of people love Abdullah but I'll believe it when I see it, still don't trust Detroit to not be a pass heavy team). Speaking of Detroit, this is 100% based on my own personal experience (and to an extent Leland) but I HATE Matthew Stafford in fantasy football. He comes up as small as small can be when it REALLY matters. I've dealt with it a couple of seasons and Leland dealt with it last year. For Eugene's sake I hope he can be consistent all season, but I have yet to see that happen. Not a big fan of the Wide Receiver group outside of Julio and Kelvin. Decker and Britt seem to be interchangeable and you run the risk of playing the wrong guy, while I just can't see Kenny Stills or Nelson Agholor as nothing more than hail mary plays when all options are exhausted. The lack of a decent backup tight end is also worrisome considering Gronk's injury history. 

Overall Grade: B-, obviously the Gronk/Julio/Gordon/Benjamin group can carry this team to a playoff berth and possibly even a title, but with all 4 having injury concerns (and in Gordon's case still wondering if last year's Gordon was the real deal or just a fluke) and really not a lot of solid depth behind it, this has the possibility of being a letdown year for Eugene. Eugene though has made championship runs with far less so I'll never completely count him out.

Albert (Channel 4 News Team)

QB: Derek Carr, Eli Manning

WR: Amari Cooper, Golden Tate, Stefon Diggs, John Brown, Zay Jones

RB: LeSean McCoy, Carlos Hyde, Ty Montgomery, Samaje Perine, Jamaal Williams

TE: Jason Witten, Austin Hooper

Overall Thoughts:  Albert kept McCoy and Montgomery, and then to really solidify his RB situation took  Carlos Hyde as well. I really like the combo of running backs and as far as RB's go, that's pretty good depth considering how thin the position is. Of course McCoy and Hyde have injury concerns and Albert has no viable backups should they go down (Perine and Williams are both rookies down the depth chart right now in Washington and Green Bay respectively). Albert took Amari Cooper with his 1st pick and again, just like his RB's, he's got a nice group of starting receivers with Cooper, Golden Tate, and Stefon Diggs (Diggs was another guy I targeted. If John Brown can ever get healthy, he's got the talent to be a fantasy relevant receivers and Zay Jones is a potential sleeper. Both are nice bench depth to have during bye weeks. Albert loves his "stack" and just like he rode Andrew Luck and T.Y. Hilton last year, this time it's going to be Derek Card and Amari Cooper. The only glaring weak spot is the tight end position as I really don't know how much Jason Witten has left in the tank, and Austin Hooper hasn't really done much to prove he's a fantasy relevant tight end.

Overall Grade: B+, I think this for the most part a solid all around team and one of the better on paper teams in the league. When your only glaring weak spot is tight end (which face it, isn't the deepest position in the world) I think you take it and run with it. Once again, Albert should be a solid contender.

Ryan (Hoosier Daddy)

QB: Kirk Cousins

WR: T.Y. Hilton, DeSean Jackson, Michael Crabtree, Willie Snead, Robby Anderson, Kevin White

RB: Ezekiel Elliott, Leonard Fournette, Thomas Rawls, Darren Sproles, Latavius Murray, Marlon Mack

TE: Martellus Bennett

Overall Thoughts: This is one of the harder teams to grade only because Ryan's got a team full of guys that are either suspended, injured or have injured QB's. Ryan took the plunge and kept Zeke. His suspension was upheld, but he will play week 1 and there's still a chance he plays the year if the courts grant Zeke a restraining order. That will basically make a break Ryan's season. If Zeke is indeed suspended, it's going to be super tough for Ryan to bounce back from that because although he drafted a ton of RB's...outside of Leonard Fournette (dealing with an injury himself) the rest of his group aren't great replacements and none of them seem like RB2 Materials. Thomas Rawls is in a split with Eddie Lacy and C.J. Prosise, Darren Sproles is still the pass catching RB, which is fine as flex but an every week RB2..ugh...Latavius Murray has fallen out of favor for Dalvin Cook, and Marlon Mack seems to be behind both Robert Turbin and Frank Gore. It could be trouble if Ryan loses Zeke. Fournette is definitely intriguing. He could be this year's Zeke, but keep in mind he's been injury prone the past couple of years and he's a team that's not even close to being good as Dallas. There is a bust possibility there. For receivers, Ryan kept Michael Crabtree, which is a smart move, but the wild card is T.Y. Hilton. Hilton slipped because Andrew Luck's dealing with an injury and there is no timetable for return. IF Luck comes back relatively soon, Hilton could be a big time steal..if Luck's injury is worse than though, it could be a long season for Hilton. DeSean Jackson is DeSean Jackson..some weeks you'll get WR1 numbers other weeks you'll get WR50 numbers. Willie Snead is suspended the first three games, and there's a chance it'll give Ted Ginn Jr more steam to keep that #2 spot in New Orleans. Robby Anderson could be a sleeper as the Jets should be awful and they have to throw to SOMEBODY. Anderson wasn't that bad towards the end of last season. Kevin White has yet to show his potential that made him a top 10 pick as he's been injured the majority of the last two seasons. Maybe with the Bears not really having much, he can step up to the plate. Both Anderson and White are solid fliers that have to potential to make an impact this season.  Kirk Cousins is a solid QB and Martellus Bennett should also be viable in that Green Bay offense.

Overall Grade: B, if Zeke somehow plays out the year, this Grade will seem low, but there's just a lot of uncertainty here and B is the best I can give out, given the circumstances.

Alex (SCLSU MudDogs)

QB: Drew Brees, Andrew Luck

WR: Larry Fitzgerald, Sammy Watkins, Chris Hogan, Marvin Jones Jr., John Ross, Taylor Gabriel

RB: Le'Veon Bell, Marshawn Lynch, Adrian Peterson, Jeremy Hill

TE: Jimmy Graham, Zach Ertz

Overall Thoughts: So here's the defending Champion and he of course kept Wane McGarity Bowl MVP Le'Veon Bell along with Jimmy Graham. His plan also worked out beautifully as instead of keeping Brees in the 2nd round, he let him go, kept  Graham in the 11th and then drafted Brees in the 2nd round again. Always nice when things work out the way you want them to. Outside of Bell though, Alex has an olllllld group of running backs with Marshawn Lynch and Adrian Peterson and underachiever Jeremy Hill. Marshawn should be ok with a year off the recharge, but I dunno about Peterson. I still think Ingram and Peterson wash each other out and it's going to be tough for either one to stand out consistently. Compared to other teams, I feel like Alex has a pretty weak receiving core. Larry Fitzgerald is not a #1 receiver. He's nice as a high end 3, but as a #1? Sammy Watkins was hit or miss and injury prone in Buffalo, he now goes to an even worse situation. Chris Hogan will benefit with Julian Edelman's injury, but there's still a TON of mouths to feed in that offense and I just don't see offensive consistency from him. Marvin Jones tailed off bad last year but has shown flashes and it wouldn't be crazy to think he could end up as Alex's top receiver. John Ross is a good project to stash while Taylor Gabriel probably doesn't last too long. Alex has Jimmy Graham and in case Graham gets hurt, he backs him with Zach Ertz. Alex had a nice move by getting Andrew Luck as a backup to Brees. Although keeping Luck could be for the future, he could also turn into a trade chip if Luck gets healthy and another team needs a QB.

Overall Grade: B-, I love Bell/Brees/Graham, but there's not too much more I like (keep in mind I didn't like Alex's team last year and he won the whole damn thing).  Those WR's stick out big time and I'd be a little worried relying on guys like Fitzgerald, Lynch, and Peterson who have a lot of miles on their bodies. 

Me (Catch My Javelin!)

QB: Jameis Winston, Ben Roethlisberger

WR: Mike Evans, Alshon Jeffrey, Brandon Marshall, Randall Cobb, Corey Coleman

RB: Jordan Howard, Derrick Henry, Doug Martin, James White, Alvin Kamara

TE: Jordan Reed, Antonio Gates

Overall Thoughts: Welp...surprise surprise I don't like my team. I kept Evans in Round 1 and was really dreading picking in the 2nd round knowing I was going to be forced to take a RB I didn't want. I had already programmed myself that I'd probably be getting Todd Gurley, but Drew took him at #5 and I was surprised (not too thrilled) to see Jordan Howard to slip to me. I almost went Doug Baldwin because I really like him, but felt too obligated to take a RB (which really SUCKS) so I went with Howard who I have almost zero faith in. I've been down this road before. The one year wonder who completely sucks the next year (helloooo C.J. Anderson, Montee Ball)..hell Jeremy Langford was Jordan Howard LAST YEAR! If Howard busts I'm DOA. My RB's depth isn't too great, I like Derrick Henry but he's still behind DeMarco Murray and I'm really worried his production is going to be severely lacking and that's not good as an RB2. I took a gamble with Doug Martin and will ride out his suspension for 3 games. Hopefully he can be a solid RB2 when he comes back because I'm going to need it. Doubt I ever play James White and who knows if Alvin Kamara lasts on my team. My receivers aren't too bad though again not a fan of Alshon Jeffrey but he was the best on the board. I like where I got Brandon Marshall and Randall Cobb. Felt like for the price I could have solid (yet OLD) hands. I am excited about Corey Coleman's potential. Be nice if I finally found a diamond in the rough worth keeping late. I feel like Jameis was a wasted keep because I ended up with Ben Roethlisberger too. Gonna suck having to decide which one to play as they are basically the same. High risk, high reward with Jordan Reed. If he gets hurt (like he always does) I'll be royally fucked but I felt at that point why not go big. Antonio Gates is my backup tight end and that's just meh.  

Overall Grade: C+, just not feeling it. This isn't a championship team and is fringe playoff contender at best. Expectations are low this year, just not feeling it one bit. Also sucks I'll be without Mike Evans probably week 1 due to weather concerns and I play Ryan who gets to use Zeke before he gets suspended. Has all the makings of an L to start to season.

Well...tomorrow will be the first matchups and predictions post as the season officially starts Thursday!
