I like your team. Seems to be strong at every position.

Luck hasn't put up the strongest stats, fantasy wise, but Rivers was a monster last year, so it was a good back-up pick if Luck struggles.

Team is ok but you have way too much invested in kicker and D/ST. Pick your starters at those positions in the last 2 rounds and definitely don't carry a backup at each on your bench!

It blows my mind how little respect someone like Rivers is getting this year. He's pretty much a lock for at least 4K yards and 25 TDs. He was a top 5 QB last year. Being able to get him 5 rounds after someone like Luck is a bit crazy.

I think taking a K and Def that early, and then another D a couple rounds later really hurt your depth though. I don't know how many spots you play but having Kenny Stills and Mark Ingram as potential starters or your first backup could hurt.

Andrew Luck had the 4th highest fantasy points for QB's last year.

First 6 picks went very well, after that it went downhill fast.

Taking defense and kicker in the 7th and 9th rounds will sink any team.

As stated I don't like the RB after your 2 starters & probably wouldn't have taken Lacy at #1 but it's a solid starting line up. I would drop the extra D & K and find another RB & WR. A lot of young and unproven in that line up. TY will be splitting his targets with Wayne & Nicks now.

Your 2nd wr is hilton and your 3rd is stills and your 3rd rb is Ingram.....2 defenses and 2 kickers...I've got some bad news for you.

I love your 1st 3 picks and your back up qb. You reached on nearly everyone else. Taking k and d that early killed you, drafting back ups put the icing on the cake, unless you have a custom scoring system that increases the value of special teams and defense.

Was Lacy rated that high this year?

Easily first rounder, usually taken around 5-7

I agree with others loved the first 5 rounds, but then fell apart after that, still should be solid if your team stays healthy, aka gronk

Thanks for your replies. I did really stretch with a kicker early but I put value in a top 5 d. A terrible defense can grant you neg points. The kicker in 16 is just till wk 4 for praters bye and then probably dumping him.

I think beckham will have a good season but I might be biased bc I'm a LSU fan lol. The only potential back up would be Hill but he might split time with Bernard. Thanks for everyone's opinions so far

No depth at skill positions, probably will not make playoffs in a 10 team league unless a majority of teams make it.

That's an interesting take. I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I haven't drafted a kicker or a defense the past two seasons in my main 10 man league. I've gone to the championship both years.

I'll be damned... for being 15th in TD passes (23).

I guess it will depend on how your league scores. If they count TD passes as 6 and interceptions as -1, he drops way down. If TD passes are 4 and INTs are -1 or -2, he is much better (only had 9 INTs).

His 4 rushing TDs do help.

Rivers had 32 TD passes and only 11 picks. Also threw for 600 more yards.

Yep, the rushing stats really elevate him.

Andrew Luck: The NFL's Best Running Quarterback | The MMQB with Peter King (http://mmqb.si.com/2014/06/05/andrew-luck-russell-wilson-colin-kaepernick-robert-griffin-cam-newtown-running-quarterbacks-analysis/)

Luck is underrated as an athlete and as a runner. He had a better vertical and 3 cone drill at the combine than Newton, Kaepernick and Wilson. He had a better 40 yard dash, vertical and broad jump than Manziel.

He had as many 20+ yard runs as Eddie Lacy and Giovani Beonard last year. He also had as many or more rushing tds as Ray Rice, Ben Tate, Andre Ellington, DeAngelo Williams, CJ Spiller, Lamar Miller, Pierre Thomas, Arian Foster, Doug Martin, Reggie Bush, Montee Ball....all of which had 2x-4x the amount of carries.

He actually had more Tds and more 20+ yard runs than Trent Richardson. He only had 81 less yards on 94 less attempts. :D
