Bench Willis McGahee, Bal R
Bench T.J. Houshmandzadeh, FA WR
Bench Louis Murphy, Oak WR

Not bad. In a PPR league, I might think twice about Greene as my 2nd round guy, but I'll assume you took the best guy on the board there. Andre Johnson will obviously be huge, but I'm a little concerned about the rest of your WRs. Ocho's targets are up in the air. Jackson and Murphy are home run hitters with big question marks. Housh would have been great in Seattle in a PPR league, but it's still TBD how looks will be split between Mason and Housh. Good depth at the position, but a few questions there. I like the RBs, but McGahee's not going to have much value. In a 12 team league, I might consider grabbing one of the elite RBs' handcuff, just in case. Zach Miller is a nice TE in a PPR to get late -- he'll be Campbell's safety valve. I'm a fan of Flacco this year as well.

Overall? Pretty good. A few questions there, but you should be competitve each week IMO.

I think your RB group is less than what it could be.

You've either got guys that don't have much in the way of track records but lots of potential upside (Foster, Greene), or guys that are more track records, but those guys are sharing with other guys (Bradshaw, Bush, McGahee) There isn't a guy that is his teams clear number one and doesn't have a serious guy breathing down his neck. A guy like Ryan Grant in round 2 would have been a smarter move if you' were planning upside and timeshare guys with the rest of your RB group.

Your WR, you definitely got that one clear stud in Andre Johnson, unlike your RB, and after that, the rest of your group is ok, but I don't think you got any steals as far as value from the look of it.

Overall, I think you can be competitive most weeks, but I wouldn't expect you to make the playoffs

I figured IF Ray Rice was to get injured, then maybe he could have some serious value. They got such a good offense, that IF Rice did go down, McGahee could reap the benefits.

If im understanding you correctly, I think that is exactly why I got McGahee.

That's true enough, though I tend to think the more valuable backups are attached to starters who have a few years on their legs rather than the young guys just starting out. However, you are right, McGahee does fit the bill, I'm just not a fan of his and Baltimore seems intent on becoming a more pass heavy team. But, if he's better than the options on the waiver wire, keeping rolling with him.
