11 out of 10 b/c of having TA on your team....

Rate my team.

Just a standard Yahoo! 10 person league. No PPR. Forgot to screenshot my QB, Matt Ryan.

Like everything other than Manuel. You seriously don't have a better option than him?

Like everything other than Manuel. You seriously don't have a better option than him?

As far as starters: Palmer, Cutler, Tannehill, Freeman, Locker, Flynn, Ponder/Cassel, Weeden, Sanchez, Gabbert.

I took him as a risk/reward type deal. Running QBs are 'hot' right now and they are a plus in FF. I don't plan on him usurping Ryan.

Just realized I didn't screenshot Matt Ryan. He's my QB.

You got Matt Ryan in the 6th round?

Half the teams were on auto-draft though.

I almost had Lesean McCoy with the 18th pick in one league, but the one autodraft guy got him. I still ended up with Ridley in the 4th and Nicks in the 7th, so I won't complain. Still don't know how Ryan slipped that far though.

In any case, I like the team. White and Colston is a very good WR duo, but I'm not sold on any of the Broncos WR's and I plan to avoid them unless an extreme drop occurs. I also like that you waited on TE's until later. You have a serviceable starter in Pettigrew, who is a sleeper of mine, and drafted better values earlier.

This team is going to be consistent and have a shot but you can say that about almost any 10 team league right now.

Injuries and pick ups will matter. I think Hilton is a sleeper.

This year it seems that yahoos rating a lot of average/rookie guys in the top 50-75 range of their rankings. I've done two drafts and a mock through yahoo and rounds 3-6 I didn't like ANY of the players that were projected to go at those times. I passed over a lot of bum starter/2nd string/rookie RBs that were at the top of the rankings.

They've dropped the rankings on a lot of QBs and that's why I think Ryan fell. Stafford went three picks before.

C. Not a fan of your backs at all even though McCoy should be pretty dang good, bush too if he can stay healthy. WRs are ok....just too many question marks for my liking.

[jms493]

When I picked Brees and Brady last year in my 2 leagues I did not draft any backups. Not sure why you would waste a pick on Flacco. You will never use him except on a bye week. When Brees is on a bye the Ravens play at the Steelers.

10 team leagues...if you team doesn't look stacked...you are in trouble.

[Tailback U]

Exactly^.

Only QB I might take as a backup is someone like Vick who has huge potential upside as he is going in the 15th round in most mock drafts.

Curious - what order were your top 5 picks in?

And why pick two Defenses as well?
