I'm guessing you didn't draft an rb until the second round and not another one after that until the 5th+ round. Fantasy football is a running back game, so even though your other positions are set and your bench is decent you'll lose a lot of games. Overall I give it a C+, but a breakdown would be B- through A for every position besides the running back and a D- at that position.

I know, I drew 8th in the first round, all of the studs were gone. I'm hoping Foster makes a comeback.

Why didn't you draft Murray?

Looks like a draft from 2010.

You're playing a dangerous game. Should have taken a Dez Bryant or DT88 in the first if Graham, Megatron, and the top five running backs were gone. Manning in the first cripples you down the road.

Foster has risk. CJ2K could be a rb2, but it's hard to buy. Not amazing depth on the bench either, though I like Jennings and Sanders to a degree.

C-

Sorry bro, being honest.

Murray has too much injury history in the 1st. I'd take Dez Bryant and then try and snag Monte Ball, Bell, or Murray in the early 2nd.

I have always held the belief, however ignorant, that you MUST draft a first round running back. I've usually had success when doing so(not win every year success but win most of my games success).

Too much Tennessee in you - Peyton is due for a huge letdown this year.

It's worth something.

Also supports grabbing Dez Bryant at 8. Though I like your receivers more and the Foster pick a little bit more now.

At 8 though, you probably could be looking at Dez and B. Marshall. That's a great core. Sprinkle in Foster and a Vereen and you would have been golden.

BPA.

That's the only way to go.

I'd prefer Charles to Lacy at RB. Maybe even Lynch. All above anyone else. Then it's wrs (ppr puts a greater focus).

Don't get a 2nd round rb in the first because you "need" a rb. Get a stud receiver and see what the second has for you.

What I can't get behind is a QB in the 1st.

I took Matt forte in the first a Murray in the second because I had the 5th overall pick

I probably would have done the same in your position. Forte is worth a top five pick. Murray in the second rounds out a nice starting set of rb.

I disagree, he won't do what he did last year, but I don't see a "HUGE" letdown.

My draft went like this:
1/2: running backs
3/4: wide receiver (I probably reached on Jackson in the fourth)
5: Tight end
6: qb
7: running back
8: wr
9: defense
10: kicker
11: running back
12/13: wr
I forget what order my last two were
