This is my league with my friends, my most important for sure. I think I have a really good squad, especially for PPR. Was planning on going Rice or Andre with the 4th pick, but the draft went #1 Andre Johnson, #2 Ray Rice, #3 Chris Johnson, so I happily scooped up AP. Besides PPR, the league settings are standard and we start QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, Flex, TE, K, Def.
QBs: Eli Manning, Kevin Kolb RBs: Adian Peterson, Arian Foster, Matt Forte, Ahmad Bradhsaw, Tim Hightower WRs: Brandon Marshall, Steve Smith (CAR), Steve Smith (NYG), Mike Williams (TB), Jacoby Jones TE: Zach Miller (OAK) K: Rackers DEF: Titans
Love my RB depth considering I didn't take a second RB until the 5th round. Between Foster, Forte, Bradshaw and Hightower I have four backs that are going to get touches and could easily become top 10 in PPR (Hightower is the furthest, but Forte was 11 in PPR last year and Bradshaw looks fantastic).
My WRs are slightly weaker than I would have liked having taken them in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th round, but since its PPR they went early and I decided I wanted to have an elite group of wide receivers. I do believe I have 3 top 15 guys in PPR, so I can't be too upset about it. Because I had such talent I was able to draft for upside on the bench and I think Mike Williams and Jacoby Jones are two excellent lottery tickets.
My QBs are solid, I'm definitely thrilled getting two top-12ish guys and I'll play the match-ups. They'll be more than serviceable.
TE: Zach Miller was a steal considering how late I took him.
Def: Titans for now, but I'm going to play the waiver wire game all season.
Any thoughts? I'll definitely gladly help in return!
To be honest, i don't know much about PPR leagues, but just from talent alone, that is a nice team. Andre Johnson first overall? That seems strange to me, but again, it must be a PPR thing, and I dont get that. I think your receievers are solid, and your RB depth is by far the best part about the team. I would have to lean toward starting Kolb, though. Nicely done.
Andre Johnson was very strange to me even in a PPR league, I would've taken Rice, AP, CJ, and MJD if he didn't scare me over Andre, but to each his own. It isn't horrible at any rate.
I am going to be starting Kolb, I drafted him maybe round 7 or 8 and Eli fell to me like 3 rounds later, after guys like Matt Ryan, Mark Sanchez, Sam Bradford, which was really shocking but it pleased me to no end.
That's a pretty solid team. I actually don't like your QB situation. Kolb is still an unknown in my book... And Eli is just overrated... But if Kolb lives up to the hype you should do great.

QB: middle of the road but should be ok with matchups. I think both Qbs will be top 15 material. Manning is consistant. I do not know why every thinks he is over rated. I see NYG still throwing a lot this year. Kolb is unknown but that team loves to throw the ball. He has a lot of upside.
RB: I think AP is going to be big this year. His receptions should be up from last year which will be nice. I am also high on Foster, Forte and Bradshaw. All RB2's with potential to enter that RB1. I am not big on Hightower and would actually drop him for APs backup.
WR: Marshall will not get you 100 rec. but upper 80s low 90s will do. Both SSmiths are solid also. Lower tier WR1s. Williams will struggle at first but I see him as a solid second half WR. Jones has a ton of upside and if Johnson goes down, he is huge.
TE: Miller is this years sleeper. Campbell loves his TE and I think he will be used a lot. 80 plus catches.

Good luck
For me Eli is more "fantasy overrated" than anything... You just said that you think these QBs are top 15 material... So in a 12 league, top 15 isn't great....
