Bunk,
I think you'll need to work the waiver wire early and often when the season starts. Your team lacks depth and bench value.
Note: I hate being critical of anyone's draft. So much can change during the course of a season.

No offense taken, I know the bench lacks depth outside of McGahee. Based on past experience, I will be relying on guys who can't control themselves when it comes to the waivers. Eventually they drop decent players that had bad weeks to grab the flavor of the day.
And you're right about the season - there is really no way to predict a league from the draft. Last year's NHL draft I did, 4 of my top 6 picks were injured for 20 or more games.

I hate Forte. He fucked me last year with the huge falloff in TDs and yards.

I just got payback for being critical of Bunk's draft. I did a piss poor job drafting this year. Time to find a team on the waiver wire.

Couldn't make the live draft but looks like auto-draft didn't screw me too much.

I think I did pretty good. Got Brees on the autodraft, as well as two good wideouts. Running back is a bit iffy (Ronnie Brown, Marion Barber, Brandon Jacobs) but ought to do well enough. Week 10 will be tough with both my starting wideouts on bye.

I like your draft better than mine. I think Jacobs will do better than expected and Sproles is a smart handcuff with a rookie starter.

I took a few gambles in my draft, but if they pan out it will be very nice. Overall, I think RB this season will be a total guessing game. Nobody really knows what to expect out of most of these guys.

RB always seems like a crapshoot. I consider myself lucky that I got (JV squad, mind you) Ray Rice, because he's GOT to be good for 1500 combined, if he stays healthy. I like RBs who are also really good receivers, especially in a low output passing game like Baltimore where they tend to dump it off a lot. Got Pierre Thomas as well, which should be sweet if he stays healthy. Of course, I thought the same way last year when I got LT and Matt Forte

Mayhap we can post our starting squads for the benefit of those who can see into the other leagues:
QB - Phillip Rivers (which I am quite pleased with) RB - Ray Rice RB - Pierre Thomas WR - Roddy White (yay!) WR - Percy Harvin (I actually kinda like this one as a darkhorse) TE - Zach Miller (meh) K - Lawrence Tynes (who cares?) D - Pittsburgh (had them last year...they score lots of TDs)
Got Felix Jones, T.O. and Jonny Knox on the bench. And Kyle Orton (haha). I don't love my bench, but I could see them fitting in certain weeks. And maybe Knox will turn into a Juggernaut, if only Cuntler can stop throwing to the wrong team.

Funny thing is, I wasn't even trying for Flacco, but still got him in both leagues. So wacky.
Bat Country JV League
QB - Joe Flacco WR - Miles Austin WR - Greg Jennings RB - Frank Gore TE - Jason Witten W/R - Michael Crabtree BN - Matt Forte BN - Derrick Mason BN - Braylon Edwards BN - Chad Henne BN - Will Heller K - Rob Bironas
DEF - Philadelphia BN - New England
Then, in a second family league I'm in
QB Joe Flacco, Bal QB RB DeAngelo Williams, Car RB RB Jamaal Charles, KC RB P RB/WR Mike Wallace, Pit WR WR Marques Colston, NO WR WR Mike Sims-Walker, Jac WR TE Chris Cooley, Was TE D/ST Patriots D/ST, NE D/ST K Jay Feely, Ari K
BENCH Bench Kevin Kolb, Phi QB Bench Visanthe Shiancoe, Min TE Bench Kenny Britt, Ten WR Bench Correll Buckhalter, Den RB P Bench Kevin Smith, Det RB P Bench Lawrence Tynes, NYG K Bench Browns D/ST, Cle D/S

I picked 9th in JV. During the middle rounds I picked up a third WR instead of DEF. Right after me, all the best DEFs went out the window. Still, I think I'm okay.
QB / A. Rodgers
WR / R. Moss
WR / M. Colston
RB / J. Forsett
TE / D. Clark
W-R / T. Hightower
K / M. Crosby
DEF / Inianapolis
BN WR _ M. Floyd BN WR _ J. Cotchery BN WR _ D. Driver BN QB _ M. Stafford BN TE _ T. Heap BN RB _ L. Tomlinson

I was 10th in the regular league.
QB - Kevin Kolb WR - Randy Moss WR - Reggie Wayne RB - Beanie Wells TE - Visanthe Shiancoe W/R - Jahved Best K - Josh Scobee DEF - Dallas
My WR's are the strongest point on my team, which is what murdered me last year when they were total sucking chest wounds in my lineup. My QB is a total gamble, but I have Carson Palmer to back him up if things go off the rails. I'm unsure if Beanie Wells will be worth a damn, but we'll see. Shiancoe is a solid TE, and Best should get some good carries on a Detroit team looking to control the ground. I like my Defense and my kicker was an afterthought.

QB - A. Rogers WR - L. Fitzgerald WR - C. Ochocinco RB - L. McCoy TE - O. Daniels W/R - K. Moreno K - R. Lindell D - Bears
Bench WR - S. Moss WR - M. Wallace WR - L. Evans RB - J. Ringer QB - B. Rapelisberger D - SD _________________________
I feel pretty good about the team but not great. RB will obviously be a big issue if McCoy peters out and Moreno's hamstring doesn't get better.

Autodraft did ok for me I guess:
Starters:
QB - Brett Favre (Min) WR - Miles Austin (Dal) WR - Hakeem Nicks (NYG) RB - Adrian Peterson (Min) TE - Kellen Winslow (Cle) W/R - Pierre Thomas (NO) K - Rob Bironas (Oak) D - SF
Bench:
RB - Reggie Bush (NO) RB - Steve Slaton (Hou) TE - John Carlson (Sea) WR - Demaryius Thomas (Den) QB - Josh Johnson (TB) D - Ind
-------------------------------------------
Should all right, the obvious highlights being Peterson and Austin. I hate having Brett on there with Peterson as well, I mean, they could super blow up again, or Brett could Favre out early this season. A bit RB heavy, and I'm hoping that the RBs in NO figure their shit out. Thomas (Den) already injured makes me double lawl too. First injured Fantasy Player of the season?
Also, I didn't know who Josh Johnson was until a few days ago.
Anyone want a decent RB sub (Slaton)?

Other than Favre, I think you did quite well. Your bench needs help, but I'd be happy to have your starting lineup.

Bat Country: QB: Culter WR: Andre Johnson WR: Wes Welker RB: Steven Jackson TE: Antonio Gates W/R: Donald Driver K: Kaeding D: Cin
Bench: CJ Spiller, Alex Smith, LT, Braylon Edwards, Benn, Walter
JV league (Autodraft): QB: Culter WR: Andre Johnson WR: Lee Evans (I had Sidney Rice pre injury) RB: DeAngelo Williams TE: Tony Gonzales W/R: CJ Spiller K: Prater D: NO
Bench: Jahvid Best, Ronnie Brown, Carson Palmer, Jermaine Gresham, Sidney Rice, Jacoby Jones
WR is obviously a glaring weak point. For this team.
Overall, I'm not super psyched about my teams. If Culter implodes, I've got decent backup options. If Andre Johnson goes down, I'll be royally screwed.

Feel the same way. But good QB's always seem to put up the highest numbers in our league. So having a.....well, a Favre could be bad this season. I'll give him a game or 2 to see how it goes. And yes, my bench is full of "might not play" second strings.

We're not doing a pick 'em this year, or did you all just go off and do one without me?

The Kevin Kolb gamble certainly is paying dividends I've never had a fantasy QB actually COST me points before.
