QB: Rating - A
Love Peyton Manning last year. After a good season, the Broncos added a pass catching monster in Welker and a rookie RB in Ball. I see huge things from Peyton this year again. Andy Dalton and Phillip Rivers will be fighting it out for your backup spot, but as long as Manning is healthy, they'll be a 1 week start anyway.
RB: Rating - A-
I would have given this a solid A is you had any real depth behind your two starters. Doug Martin is going to explode, get all the carries and tons of catches. Top 5 RB in a ppr. Gore is a RB that's underrated, but he will get 15+ carries a game and is still a very good receiver. I love those two. After that, you've got Isaac Redman, who will start but for how long? He's just not that good. Kendall Hunter is really just a Gore handcuff. Just hope that you don't need to play either of those two.
WR: Rating: - C
Dwayne Bowe is your #1. I'll say that again: Dwayne Bowe is your #1. Bowe has some value (more in a standard league, non ppr), but he is not a good #1. Tavon Austin is an unknown quantity. They keep saying that they haven't unleashed their plan for him yet...I'm not sure they have one. While the Rams being bad will benefit the Rams passing attack, I'm not sure that Bradford is that good. Mike Williams is a solid receiver behind V-Jax and Golden Tate is a nice sleeper candidate. There's no real number 1 here, just a bunch of high and low end number 2 receivers.
TE: Rating - B+
Can old man Tony Gonzalez do it again? My guess is that he can. Matt Ryan looks for him often, especially in the red zone. I expect another good year from TG. Celek is a capable backup in case of injury, but there's no reason to think you'll need him.
OVERALL: 7.2 out of 10. Your WRs will sink you here. In a ppr, you can't get away with poor WR the way you can in a standard scoring league. With a break or two, you can sneak into the playoffs, but I'm not counting on it.
