Answer 1

Matt ryan should be dropped asap.  Peyton doesnt get hurt so you dont need 2 back up qbs.  Bring in another productive wideout or runningback.  Too many rookies.  Rookie wideouts except colston and randy moss have been garbage for 10 years.  Never trust a rookie wideout even limas sweed who will be a good red zone target but with ward their hes not gonna be productive enough to make an impact.  Eli could be good trading value to bring in another runningback because the lions dont run the ball enough to make mendelhall effective.  A few minor adjustments and you will be in tight shape to make a deep run.

Answer 2

The only potential problem I see here is rather Gates will be recovered enough from his foot injury to be as effective as in the past. From what I understand, he isn't expected to be fully recovered at the start of the season, but you've got that covered with Daniels. I would agree with the others about keeping only two QBs. You could use a 5th receiver as a hedge against the possibility of Sweed not doing much this year (with both Ward and Santonio Holmes there). The problem is that both of the Mannings have the same bye week in week 4. The only other bye week where you have any issue is week 8 where you have 5 on the bye week, but other than the defense, you're covered unless you have an injury problem.

Answer 3

I agree with the other guy, drop Ryan because Peyton never misses a start.  With that in mind, dont be scared to trade Eli for another WR or RB, because are you really going to start Eli over Peyton except for during a bye week?  Jones-Drew has added value because of the PPR, good pick.  I like Sweed too, hes a sleeper for me this year.  If you can, try to pick up or trade for chester in case AD gets hurt, I think hes been hurt every year since his freshman year in college.  Not bad though man.  In the future, for PPR leagues, Ive found that reggie bush's value is greatly enhanced since he's eligible at RB and catches balls like a WR...

Answer 4

I like your top two runing backs and I like Peyton.  Gates is always good but I would try to get a better WR which isnt that big of a deal cause the ones you have now are decent.  You got the important positions set and thats your RBs and QB.

Answer 5

QB Peyton Manning!!!!!!!

i luv him!

Answer 6

QB- A+   Don't know why you drafted a third QB, but hopefully Ryan comes out of the gate strong and you can trade him for a WR or RB.

RB- A-   Peterson is a beast but injuries and the ol' sophomoire slump are a concern.  Jones-Drew should put up at least as mant fantasy points as he did last year.  Your depth at RB is a concern though.  If you do have any injuries to the top two you are probably in trouble.  Mendenhall (in spite of the buzz) or Pittman is a lock to get a lot of playing time.

WR: C.  Holt is great but his team is a huge question mark.  Driver has seen his better days in the NFL.  Chambers could be solid or he could do very little.  And who the h**l is Limas Sweed?  Oh wait I found him- ranked 70th and 77th in the two fantasy mags I bought this year.  Good luck with that.

TE: A+  Gates is the gold standard.  Every year one or two TEs approach him or slightly surpass him for fantasy supremacy, but he puts up the numbers every year.

D: A.  Green Bay is a very underrated fantasy D.  You can expect to get solid production all year.

K: A  I don't pay a lot of attention to kickers (I picked up Mason Crosby during the season last year- all he did was lead all kickers in scoring), but you got a good kicker from a great offense.  Even the fact that Dallas tends to bog down during the "Fantasy playoff" weeks is good news for you- it probably means more FG opportunities.

Overall I'd give your team an A.   I have no idea how you got both Peterson and Payton Manning, even in a ten team league (wait- that is the Minnesota Peterson and not the Chicago one right?).  Lack of depth at RB could end up costing you and your WR after Holt are pretty much  a leap of faith.  If Peterson stays healthy and your WRs step up you should be very competitive, but probalby won't dominate.
