Very interesting draft format! I really like your RB's, and the QB is pretty strong as well. I pretty much agree that your WR's are the weakest part, though they arent bad at all, just not as strong as your other positions.

Your team is one WR1/TE1 away from taking it all IMO. If any of your reserve WRs can step up, then you'll be OK at WR. Thanks for your help with mine.

All rosters are up, and I have to say that I'm semi-happy with my draft. I still have wire work to do throughout the season.

The team that has the best WRs (Mike Wallace, Roddy White, Brandon Marshall, D. Amendola, Wes Welker, Roy Williams) also has his starting RBs as (Charles [stud], DeAngelo Williams [good], Jonathan Stewart [not so good], Daniel Thomas [granted, his competition is Bush, but still] and Donald Brown [was on the cusp of getting cut by the Colts])

I was also worried about carrying Ronnie Brown as a RB5. There is a team that has Brandon Jacobs as RB3, Michael Bush as RB4 and LaRod Stephens-Howling as RB5.

The team that has both Chris Johnson and ADP has Blount RB3, Roy Helu RB4 and Bernard Scott RB5.

Wow, that sounds like a really fun league to be in...complicated, but super fun.

I agree that your WR are better than you think they are, but they're certainly a lot weaker than your backs (I'd take Lloyd/Harvin or Lloyd?Manningham any day)...Your 4 backs are unbelievable and you should definitely have some trading power down the road. (How many do you start??) I also think you have a top QB in Big Ben...Depending on you scoring system and how many RBs you can star a game, I think you're gonna be a team that's hard to beat...

For the H2H, we start 1QB, 2RB, 3WRs, 1D/ST & 1K, but as mentioned, the main money is in this being a top points league, so all of my active roster is "starting" during the season.

I'm pretty sure Dixon is not out for the season. In fact, I just read an article that Dixon might be used as the goal line back and on short-yardage plays. So he could still be valuable.

Kendall Hunter appears to have secured the backup running back position, but Anthony Dixon may have secured a goal line and short yardage role. Could we possibly have a Thunder and Lightning backup situation similar to Tiki Barber and Brandon Jacobs? Anthony Dixon will need to show some consistency on those short yardage situations, but I find myself thinking Dixon is looking like that goal line back for now.

Wow interesting format, I like it. Definitely something different and quite strategic in nature.

QB's - ok
RB's very solid
WR's need work but the waiver wire can be your friend.

Yes Dixon isn't out for the year but Hunter is the official backup to Gore. If he's there grab him, he looks great.

Agreed. Just watch the waiver wire for the breakout unknown WR and snag him. You're strong enough in the other areas that you should be okay.

Thanks for your help with mine!
