We don't have to start a TE, and can play a WR or RB in place.... QB: Peyton Manning (Den) RB: Ben Tate (Cle) RB: Bishop Sankey (Ten) WR: Julio Jones (Atl) WR: Jordy Nelson (GB) WR: Emanuel Sanders (Den) RB: Chris Johnson (NYJ) Def: Bears DST K: Matt Bryant Bench: RB: Steven Ridley (NE) WR: Sammy Watkins (Buf) WR: Mike Evans (TB) RB: Terrance West (Cle) RB: Deangelo Williams (Car) Kelvin went the damn pick before me where I drafted Watkins. I was so pissed, as I think KB is going to win ROY. Anyway, we've won this league 4 times and 2 of the last 3. I think we have a pretty good shot at 3 of 4. How bout y'all?

Overall I think you have a great team. Not sure if you're running a 2RB, 2WR, 1Flex or not, but either way, an overall nice team.

Obviously you got the best QB and I like the tag team with Emanuel Sanders - especially with the conclusion of Wes Welker and his unlikely return anytime soon.

A little worried with Tate being your #1 because I'm not sold on Cleveland's OL, but I've been reading rave reviews about Sankey and Tennessee. Add in Ridley for some 3rd down and goal line looks and a healthy (finally) Deangelo Williams, and your RB position looks serviceable. Nice handcuff adding Terrance West onto Tate.

WR position looks strong. Julio Jones and Jordy Nelson are both on teams with good offenses. I think Atlanta's record last year was a fluke and not the norm. And any WR on a Peyton Manning team is going to produce points for you, so Sanders is a good pick. Sammy Watkins is your dark horse....could probably score 20 points one week and 5 the next. I'm hoping he and EJ find a connection quick. Same for Evans and McCown.

I like Matt Bryant. I prefer Ks that play in domes and/or in home stadiums with warmer weather in the winter months. Playing in the NFC South means he'll likely play in decent conditions through the season - and during the fantasy playoffs when maximizing points is at a premium.

I believe your weakest spot is D/ST. The Bears Defense is not the Bears of old. Plus they play 2 games against the best WR in the game (Megatron), 2 games against the 2nd best QB (Rogets), and 2 games against AP....that's rough. I'd look to see if you could pick up another Defense on Waivers.

That's my .02 worth. Good luck!
 
Thanks for the review zebra. I didn't think about that with the Bears D, but that's a pretty good point. In our league we can start 3 WRs and 3 RBs, or 4 WR/RB and 3 RB/WR. And we just play total points. No week to week match ups or playoffs.

No problem. I like your league format. No head-to-head match ups, just overall points. Might have to try that next year.
 
Ben Tate was good when he saw the field in Houston, but you never know. Sankey could produce, but your best back will most likely be Chris J. If Julio stays healthy your WRs are money. The Bears D looks awful shaky in preseason so you may want to watch for matchups to play a different D. Overall nice draft
 
In 1st place again so far, and just picked up Eli tonight (47 points) for Peyton's bye week. My 3 receivers (Julio, Jordy, and Sanders) are currently ranked #1,2, and 3 in the league in receiving yards. Since this thread I've picked up Ryan Matthews from waivers after some idiot dropped him.
