PB's First Ever Live Draft FF Team

Alright guys. Here are the results of my first ever FF draft. How'd I do?

QB: Peyton Manning (DEN)
WR: Roddy White (ATL)
WR: Demaryius Thomas (DEN)
WR: Jeremy Maclin (PHI)
RB: Maurice Jones-Drew (JAC)
RB: Doug Martin (TAM)
TE: Jimmy Graham (NO)
K: Nate Kaeding (SD)
DST: Lions
B: Kenny Britt (TEN)
B: Greg Little (CLE)
B: David Wilson (NYG)
B: Mikel Leshoure (DET)
B: Toby Gerhart (MIN)
B: Vincent Brown (SD)

I'm not extremely excited about Britt and Gerhart but I think it's a pretty solid starting lineup. I know you don't know who's left on waivers, but should I look at replacing any of these guys?

I'm also a little nervous about Peyton and MJD, but Peyton looked really good in the 3rd PS game and MJD has always been a FF stud so I'm hoping for good things from both of them.

Toby is a good pickup b/c you don't know how healthy AP is going to be, and they might pull back on his touches. Mikel is a decent pickup, but I thought he was one of the many hurt in Det. I would suggest getting Rasahad Jennings instead of him as a handcuff to MJD. 2 things here, 1) MJD even if he shows up isn't expected to start game 1. 2) MJD had 340 touches which is near where rb's break down the following year, AND he's sat out all OTA's, TC, PS and you don't know if he'll show up and if he does if he'll be CJ2K from last year or his normal self. He's got a couple things working against him. Also Rashad Jennings was expected to steal carries from him this year regardless of the holdout, the only thing that stopped it last year was RJ getting hurt. David Wilson was a great pickkup, and will end up being one of your starting RB's this year, at least that what NY is hoping for.
WR's are great.
TE/D since you don't have a deep bench smart move not getting 2. but come their bye week you're going to need to either drop them(not acceptable) or drop a bench player.
QB, Don't mind having PM as the starter, but w/his inj history lately, and the fact that he's never been a great outdoor qb, AND he hasn't played for a year I'd want a backup w/potential to start if necessary.

Thanks for the feedback, Ric! I knew I was taking a risk with Manning and MJD, but at the time I drafted them they were the highest reward players at their positions. I just hope the high risk that came with them doesn't come back to bite me. Rashad Jennings was on my radar, but he was nabbed before I could get him unfortunately. There isn't much for improvement on the waiver wires at the RB spot, but there are a couple intriguing options left at WR. I'm thinking about dumping Vincent Brown for Mike Williams (TAM) or Doug Baldwin (SEA).

If you are in a PPR league, Grab Dexter McCluster b/c he is now the favorite target of Cassle and is the slot WR. He's a steal as a #2 RB.

Also look for whoever is going to be the #2 in Houston, whoever that is will have nice #'s. Keep your eye out for QB's though, you very well might need one.

Not a PPR and McCluster is already taken. Was just reading from Roto though that Kevin Walter should be a starter in Houston. I wonder if he'd be worth taking over Vincent Brown. As far as QB's, not much left right now. According to projected points for the year, the a few of the top ranked QB's left are Jake Locker, Fitzpatrick, Cassel, Sanchez. Carson Palmer is still available and could redeem himself, but I'm not very confident in him.

I'm actually a fan of Fitz and Palmer. The rest are garbage. I'm a fan of Schaub, so the 2nd WR(IMO is a nice snag). Another kid there name Lester Gene or something is supposebly on the #2 radar. I would keep brown and then keep both of them on your watch list.

Also keep an eye on Turners backup; suposedly they are high on him, and if Turner faulters they will start giving him touches, if Turner goes down...you have the guy.
