Both of your QBs are good, Bulger being on the verge of great, but they are also very injury prone.
RB - L.J. and S.J. should have MONSTER years. Addai and Rhodes are on the same team, so either drop or trade on of them for an extra QB or TE.
WR - Fitzgerald should bring a lot of points to your fantasy team with all of the TDs he will put up. Jackson is underrated and should have a 1,000 yard season or close to it. Jones is still questionable.
TE - Davis has the ability and attitude to be one of the best, maybe even the best TE of all-time. He should dominate from game one.
K - Stover. He's okay like I said to another guy.
Ds - The Dolphins might suffer from an aging group on defense, but they can still play well and I expect them to allow less than 20 PPG. The Giants should have a top five defense this year with the comeback of Antonio Pierce. The addition of Sam Madison and LaVar Arrington should do wonders for them as well. Arrington for the future.
Overall, I would give your fantasy team a B-. Solid work.

I'm just wondering how you were able to get LJ and Stephen Jackson on the same team. How many teams are in this league? You should have needed one of the first three to get LJ, which means you got Jackson late in the second round. All the cheatsheets I have seen have Jackson going in the first. Are you in an 8 team league?
And I think Stover is going to have the second best year of his career. Baltimore is going to have a good enough defense to setup field position for their offense, an offense which will continue to come up short, forcing many FG opportunities.

Except for TE you have a great team. You should start the Giants D over Miami... I'm pretty sure you will win your league...
But FrankiSR is right, how many teams are in your league?

SJ at 23 in a 12 team league? I would be interested in seeing the picks before him. That is surprizing. I have yet to see him fall out of the top 8 or 10. Your are strong a RB for sure. Solid at QB. If your league only starts 2 WR's you'll be ok. D Jax is a good play if 100% healthy, if he isnt healthy and you combine that with the fact of they have Burleson now you might need to look elsewhere. Jones has a ton of potential and from what I have seen of the disappointment that has been Reggie Williams in Jacksonville you should be fine having Jones. I thought Wilford might emerge but so far (it is early) it doesnt appear so. I would definately pick up Clayton as he is WELL worth a flyer. I had him last year and I dont know if I want to jinx him again this year like that. Thankfully last year I still had CJ, H Ward, and Fitz to compensatefor the lack of production in Clayton. I know he will get drafted in my 12 team 15 round draft. Here is to an injury free preseason for you.

Pretty solid team. Only problems are at WR (Fitz really is a good 2nd WR, not a number one) and TE (Alex Smith is throwing to him = problem). Other than that, you're fine. You should have a strong season.

You should win the league with this lineup. I only play in 12 team leagues and in those leagues, RBs are the key. Bulger and Warner will both put up similar numbers (GOOD ONES), but I would probably start Bulger to spread the risk with you having Fitz. Whoever said he isn't a #1 is crazy. ARZ just happens to have two #1s and with a RB now, should see more 1st downs which means more play action which means more big plays.
Larry is going to be a stud. Your second best back isn't Jackson though, it's Addai. Trust me on this one, Addai will finish ahead of Jackson even if Faulk retires. Addai is going to put up the same or better numbers than James last year as he's more explosive and let's not forget, Indy lives in the Red Zone. St. Louis falls behind quite a bit and Jackson isn't the best out of the backfield. He's not Faulk. Rhodes I would hold on to unless there's a "great" sleeper prospect. But it has to be great bc Rhodes has put up a 1000 yard, 10 TD season before last time James went down, so you know he can do it.
WR? DJ should be back, no worries there. Jones? Not sure what to think of this guy actually, hopefully you don't HAVE to start all three and thus play the matchups with the other two.
TE-Hard to say with Rookies. But generally rookie TEs suck. So unless this is a keeper league, trade them while their stock is highest for something proven.
K-Really doesn't matter. There is always someone on the waiver wire with a great matchup if you don't get a premier one so I wouldn't worry much about it.
Defense-Unless you have the Bucs, not many are consistent year in and year out. So hard to rate it.
Overall, for a 12 team league, I'd say you ended up B+, maybe A- depending on the defense.

So we're finally going to see the Arizona offense break through? Yeah, I said he was better suited as a number two than one. With Edge there, along with Boldin, I'm not sold on him getting 80-100 yards a game and being your top WR.

I disagree that he should drop either Addai or Rhodes any earlier than training camp, and I'd be tempted to hold onto them longer. It's worth the roster space to make sure you have the Indy rb who's going to wind up getting the most snaps.
And the team is waaaay better than a B-.

It would be a higher B if his QBs can stay healthy, he gets better depth at RB, Matt Jones comes through in his second season, and the TEs are not bothered by inexperience.
Right now a B- is acceptable, especially when you consider how well the other teams drafted compared to this one by looking at this team's players.

I have to disagree. You can only play one QB at a time and the chances of both being out isn't great and with these two if you really want to get technical; one of them each week should have a GREAT matchup looking at their schedules. So his QB position is as good as someone having a top 5 QB out there every game. QB by committee is very powerful if you play the matchups correctly.

Your season hinges on the health of Larry Johnson and how much the Chiefs offense will change under the Defensive minded and conservative coaching of Herm Edwards.

My opinion, Both your QB's should be traded, they are both far away from fantasy picks this year, I say that about Warner because he is just fading. Bulger because he has a new Coach, new system. The same with Stephen Jackson, i dont get why everyone is so ga-ga over him. He sucks. His best year (out of 2, i know) was less than Cadillacs rookie year. He is also on the Rams which means he is also in a new system. Addiai is a rookie, he will be pretty good, but he will not be phenomenal. He is also a good reciever, which could take away from his rushing stats for the week. Remember you score on brackets, and alot of these people just dont fall into them much.

You don't think Addai is going to be a top 10 back? A) He'll be the feature back on the COLTS! B) He's every bit as good as Edge with younger legs. C) Did you see the numbers Edge put up last year?

Its not that i think he isnt capable. He is just not garaunteed enough time to prove it. Rhodes is a key player in the Colts offense whether he was behind James or not. Yes he is going to have to win the starting job this year in camp, but he has a big head start with Peyton, and is already a 1k rusher. I expect him to split carries at most(while still coming out with more yards than Addai from experience alone), barring any new injuries or a reoccuring ACL.
This man has the projected starter as a backup to the projected backup. Thats all im saying, if you can get it.
