While I like your RB core with Forte/Jacobs/Barber and even LJohnson in the core, you should have a viable pair of options all year long, but since you start 3 WRs every week I would look to maybe package one of them with one of your lower WRs to get a more reliable WR2 option. I like Walter and Royal but after RWayne it might be hard to find a trio of WR options unless SMoss, DDriver or someone unseen can really step up and provide solid, consistent production.

Gates and even JBrown are very solid options at TE and K, but Green Bay could be an up or down option at D/ST since they're transitioning into a 3-4 look. Overall, with that core of RBs and Schaub's ability to really play when healthy (btw great value with him in the 9th) you could field a really good squad, I'll give it a 'b+' unless you can make a move and have a duo of solid RBs and WRs then I think it moves more into the 'A' area.

Awesome feedback - Thanks! Yes, I completely agree with you regarding my WR's. There was a bit of an early run WR's, and I reckon after the top 12-14 WR's, the quality drops off a bit and it's pretty much a crap shoot after that. I'll definitely have to either go for a trade, or hopefully someone may come though the wire....

Where there any 500 yard passing games last year? I don't think so...?
