Do you think I went on too much upside for this team?
Please let me know your thoughts and I will reply back if you need help. Thanks.

Not too bad but i do think you reached for Crabtree a bit. Wide Recievers are a little weak.

I actually drafted in your same spot at 2. Both good and bad spot to be drafting in.

I liked the second spot. Ya you had to wait a while but I got a lot of great picks. Work on those WR's and you will be legit.

What does your team look like then?

I found that picking in the second spot, your more likely weaker in WR's or RB's, or vice versa

Not bad at all...if Moreno heals up you have a solid RB stable. Forte will be great in a PPR format. Your WR's aren't sexy but what you do have is #1 targeted WR's on each team with some considerable upside. Roddy's a stud.. and you have more than enough servicable WRs to plug and play throughout the year and be competative. You may have drafted on upside for your WR's but the PPR scoring I have a feeling will save ya. Is Gaffney on the wire?

good luck

I like your team dude upside is always a plus in my eyes lol good luck

Picking early in draft this year i don't think qb is the way to go early. Qb seemed to be at a better spot mid to late picks. Just because if you pick top 4 you get your stud RB then u can Probably get two top tier wrs or a Extremely high tier 2 wr.

I like your team alot, though I do not see the need for three QBs.

I think it's a pretty decent team. I actually don't mind reaching for the early QBs this year. I did it myself with my own 12-team PPR league, with similarly bunched picks at the turn. If you don't like the mid-to-late round options, you have to make a little reach. Of course the key to taking a QB early is confidence that you can get enough good picks at RB and WR to not leave a big weakness on your squad.

I like the RBs. Between Moreno and Forte, I think at least one of them will be a strong RB2. Forte is great value in the 7th. As others have said, WR depth is your biggest concern. White is great WR1. I don't see how Crabtree is a reach ... you took him right at his ADP. If either Knox or Wallace pan out as a WR3 (and the odds are good that one of them will), your starters are in good shape. You may still have a shallow bench though. TE, DEF, and K are low end but startable.

I wouldn't do much before seeing how the season starts to play out. Right now, I would just suggest to drop Cassel and Hanson. A third QB (in a league where you only start one, and have an elite starter) is a waste of a roster space. As is a backup kicker IMO. You'll always be able to pickup a decent fill-in kicker when the bye week rolls around. To start the season, I think the bench is best used for sleepers at WR and RB. Someone mentioned Gaffney - that's one I like that may be available. Mike Williams (TB) is another sleeper WR. You should take at least 1 more sleeper WR. And either another WR or a sleeper RB (one of those guys that isn't valued much, but is only an injury or benching away from being a really productive player). You can always drop your worst player when the bye weeks roll around (to cover TE, K, and DEF).
