I got lucky in that the first two rounds happen over the course of a couple weeks.. so I was able to snag Wilson before the Brown injury. Still thinking of adding Patton in some form but I'm not sure who I'd drop.

12 team league, drafted 9th. Sort of a train wreck I think. Gonna have to do some free agent magic for WR and RB. Hopefully Gronk is only out a few weeks.

33 Colin Kaepernick
40 Wes Welker
57 Ryan Mathews
64 Rob Gronkowski*
81 Rashard Mendenhall
88 Johnathan Franklin
105 Lance Moore
112 Jermichael Finley
129 Josh Freeman
136 Kendall Wright
153 Fred Davis
160 Dan Bailey
177 Buccaneers

This is a 8 team league, was the first pick. No real complaints here.
(1) Adrian Peterson

Two words, Zack Sudfeld

And also you need to reach for RB earlier more than once. You drafted RB in the first round and then didn't again until it was too late to get a number 2, Colin in the third round is redick.

I know, they started taking quarterbacks and I panicked. Rookie mistake :D

Sudfeld is intriguing, especially since the Pats cut all but two TEs, excluding Gronk. I think I'll pickup Sudfeld, and dump Franklin. Then I can use Sudfeld at flex or TE till Gronk comes back and trade Sudfeld if he does any good.

Looks good to me. I'd probably try to upgrade my TE if I could and anything decent was on the waiver wire.

TE and maybe a defense. Keeping my eye out. Hoping there is a D that breaks out of their shell this year.

Bennett is such a beast. I wish they'd give him extra points for just being a total badass.

I like the browns and the bengals defense as potentially having big years. Really though it's usually just best to pick up whatever defense is playing against the Raiders or Jets.

Why are people so high on Trent Richardson? I'm not seeing it.

I had 4th pick in my 8 team league. AP, Foster and then Lynch went, so I decided on Charles. I refuse to get Richardson or Spiller. Martin could be ok but his QB is just average and his bad games last year were bad.

He did pretty well last year considering he was playing with broken ribs. Richardson is going to get like 30 carries per game.

ppr I hope? Otherwise I'm not sure why you think Charles will be any better than those other two guys. Surprised Foster and Lynch went 2 and 3...I'm guessing that league isn't very competitive

12 team PPR keeper league with an OP slot (so extra QB playable)

STARTERS
$52 Tom Brady (NE - QB)
$21 Colin Kaepernick (SF - QB) **KEEPER**
$61 LeSean McCoy (Phi - RB)
$2 C.J. Spiller (Buf - RB) **KEEPER**
$17 Randall Cobb (GB - WR) **KEEPER**
$4 Anquan Boldin (SF - WR)
$27 Jason Witten (Dal - TE)
$36 Darren Sproles (NO - RB)
$1 Baltimore (Bal - DST)
$1 Blair Walsh (Min - K)

BENCH
$4 Roy Helu (Was - RB)
$1 Joique Bell (Det - RB)
$2 Golden Tate (Sea - WR)
$4 Chris Givens (StL - WR)
$1 Brandon Pettigrew (Det - TE)
$1 EJ Manuel (Buf - QB)

Definitely weak at receiver, but I feel ok elsewhere. I do think Givens and Tate cold be very good this year, so if they pop at all I should be ok. We shall see.

I think Charles may do better this year than last with Reid. I don't see how Richardson's 3.6 ypc is so amazing though. Spiller should do better than him but he plays for the Bills and their offense just isn't scary.

Who would you pick second and third then? I wouldn't put Spiller or Richardson ahead of either one.

I just don't see him getting that many carries. I don't see him doing that well either. But 30 times 3.6 will be 100 ypg.
