How'd I do in the draft? I might look a little weak at RB, but I like the chances that at least one becomes a good RB2. My WRs should be a dominant group. Week 5 is going to suck (no Cutler, Forte, Jennings, or Colston). Settings are basically standard with all TDs 6 points and we also include return yards (equal to pass yard scoring) and return TDs.
12 team league
- Starters - QB: J. Cutler RB: M. Forte RB: R. Rice WR: G. Jennings WR: M. Colston W/R: T. Houshmandzadeh W/R: E. Royal TE: J. Carlson D/ST: Chargers K: J. Reed
- Bench - M. Hasselbeck D. Brown L. Washington M. Bush S. Greene C. Henry
I think you need more RB depth. I'm high on Rice and Brown, so you'll be fine for at least your RB2. But with 2 flex spots I'd prefer to start at least 1 back there most weeks. Bit weak at QB too, but should be pretty solid overall.
With return yards = to pass yards you should scour the WW for a good kick return guy like J.L. Higgins, J. Cribbs, D. Sproles, etc (although with that scoring system I'd be surpised if any of the three I mentioned are available).
I also agree with reprisal that your QB situation could use an upgrade. IMO Hass might be the better guy to start. He definitley has better WR's.
Your starting RB's and WR's are pretty solid but like already mentioned, you could use some depth. WR depth is good.
Pretty solid team overall. Think Rice is going to be a good RB2 this year, but I agree witht the other guys that you lack depth at the RB position. I think Brown will eventually overtake Addai for the most carries, but not sure when that might happen. WR's are solid, love Colston and Jennings potential this year. Think Cutler is going to have a better year than people are saying, but if you could work a trade for someone like Aaron Rodgers, Matt Schaub or Mcnabb, I'd jump on it.

Higgins and Cribbs actually are available but with return yards = pass yards = 1pt/25 yards, the return yards are only really valuable to players that are also involved with the offense. It would be tough to start a player getting only return yards. Higgins is worth a look if he's going to be a starting WR but I don't think Cribbs will be involved enough on offense to have better value than Chris Henry.
I'm looking into possible trade scenarios also. Would you try something like Cutler/Housh for Rodgers/Holmes or Housh/Hasselbeck for Rodgers?
I'm not as high as some folks on Ray Rice. It's still a 3-headed RBBC and his playoff schedule is brutal (CHI, PIT).
You might want to package Chris Henry and Michael Bush/Ray Rice for a better RB. You'd still have the sleeper D. Brown and S. Greene who could blow up.
I like the WR corp you have. Royal is going to go nuts this year (Marshall's a head=case and Orton loves the slot receiver...).
6 pt TDs really pumps up QB value. See if you can upgrade there. It's about 130 point difference between the top QB and the baseline with that scoring system.
