5. (44) Stevie Johnson WR
6. (57) Kenny Britt WR
7. (64) Knowshon Moreno RB

Screwed up big time with QB.. damn. I kept thinking they would fall to me and that no one would take a back up so early. But Roethlisberger went at 75, even though his ADP was in the 50's, and Freeman at 81. I made the mistake of taking "RB Depth" over going for the QB.. **** me. After Roethlisberger went right before my Mathews pick (which I'm not even a big fan of,) I thought it'd be too early to take Freeman there, so I waited


The Gates pick I could had a WR 2 there like Dez but I thought Gates was better value.. the #1 TE

Felix Jones is meh but in the 10th he could breakout as the feature back.. who knows..

What can I do to improve this team? Maybe Eli will back up his "I'm in the Brady tier" comments

10 team no PPR 4 pts pass TD 6 pts rush.receive

1 QB
3 WR
2 RB
1 TE
1 K
1 DEF

Your QBs are kind of "meh," and your WRs could be a bit hit or miss as well (Lance Moore is pretty bad, Keeny Britt may have season issues).

If Moreno has a good season, then your RBs look ok, I wouldn't put much stock into Forte as he seems to ebb and flow as a RB, and SDs and Dallas' RB situations are too messy for me to be interested.


You have a lot of potential, but they could be potential surprises or potential letdowns.

I could have went S-Jax instead of Forte, and Harvin instead of Britt. Stevie Johnson isn't a pick I'd normally make but he is the #1 in Buffalo and he was the best available WR 2 after Lloyd got taken

My word, you drafted Forte.

Not only did you draft Forte, you drafted him as your second RB.

"So cold. I am always by your side."
"There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!"

When Forte is on, he is really really good... the problem is the ebb and flow that I mentioned. He only seems to be on about half the time.

If Forte has a good season, you might look like a genious (or idiot savant) for drafting him as your second RB. That's the thing about FF though... the break out stars always seems to be the surprises.
