Yahoo 12 teams - Please Rate my roster!

[cardinalram]

Hey I'm in a 12 team league on Yahoo, pretty much standard scoring. I tried doing some research using fftoday, but I'm not so sure it went so well, because when other people in the league drafted qbs very early, I got scared. That's why I'm very ashamed of my Eli Manning pick. Anyways, please rate!

Round Pick Player Position
1. (11) Ryan Mathews RB
2. (14) Steven Jackson RB
3. (35) Eli Manning QB
4. (38) Steve Smith WR
5. (59) Jason Witten TE
6. (62) Mike Sims-Walker WR
7. (83) Clinton Portis RB
8. (86) Mike Wallace WR
9. (107) Carnell Williams RB
10. (110) Carson Palmer QB
11. (131) Steve Breaston WR
12. (134) David Akers K
13. (155) Tennessee DEF
14. (158) Dustin Keller TE
15. (179) Toby Gerhart RB

3. (35) Eli Manning QB
10. (110) Carson Palmer QB

--> Pretty solid. I think.

1. (11) Ryan Mathews RB
2. (14) Steven Jackson RB
7. (83) Clinton Portis RB
9. (107) Carnell Williams RB
15. (179) Toby Gerhart RB

--> Also solid.

4. (38) Steve Smith WR
6. (62) Mike Sims-Walker WR
8. (86) Mike Wallace WR
11. (131) Steve Breaston WR

--> Which Steve Smith? I think this WR core is decent. MSW is not the most reliable WR from my experience. Against weak D's he put up 100+, against solid D's he put up very little. Wallace is a good pick this year and I think Breaston has Boldins will power, which can't be bad. I love watching guys like Boldin, Breaston, and Harvin get knocked down and get back up over and over.

5. (59) Jason Witten TE
14. (158) Dustin Keller TE

--> Witten is going to be very involved this year, should bounce back from last year. Keller is a great sleeper. I think he'll be a top 10 TE this year.

12. (134) David Akers K
13. (155) Tennessee DEF

overall, I think you have an awesome team. If you are a perfectionist (aren't we all), I'd watch the WRs this year and take a swoop on the next breakout if you can get him. I think you could use more consistent WRs.

You can't know who it will be, but these are guys I'm watching at the POS.

Mike Thomas - JAC
Mike Williams - SEA
Anthony Gonzales - IND
Demaryius Thomas - DEN
Laurent Robinson - STL

The Carolina Steve Smith. Thank you very much for your helpful post! Any other thoughts, anyone?

[cardinalram]

Oh and I probably should have mentioned there are two WR positions, not three, and there is a WR/RB flex spot instead. Sort of explains a bit of weakness in my wr's.

[RJason]

Okay, you're in good shape then. You can rely on Steve Smith - CAR, and for sure, one of the others will be a reliable WR2. I've always found it's better to put a RB in the flex anyway, they are more reliable.

Best of luck,

Robert
