I'd love some thoughts on my fantasy teams. I look at them and feel like I did a good job, but then I remember I felt the same way about my team last year and then they imploded.
My first team
10 team league, I drafted 5th with snake draft.
QB - Matt Ryan
RB - Eddie Lacy, Doug Martin, Andre Ellington, Pierre Thomas, Lamar Miller, Jeremy Hill, Devonta Freeman
WR - Dez Bryant, Roddy White, Michael Floyd, Cecil Shorts, Josh Gordon
TE - Gronkowski
D/ST - Buccs for now
K - Robbie Gould
Don't really love Martin, but got him in the 3rd round so I'm happy with it. If Gronk can't go there's plenty of good options in FA.
Second team
12 team league, I drafted 4th with snake draft
QB - Kaep
RB - Forte, Gio Bernard, Gerhart, Bernard Pierce, Terrance West
WR - Brandon Marshall, Keenan Allen, Reggie Wayne, Deandre Hopkins, Justin Hunter, Jarrett Boykin, Brandin Cooks, Josh Gordon
TE - Zach Ertz
D/ST - Browns for now
K - Dropped for Gordon, probably end up with Gould.
Got a little WR heavy, but I love my top 3 RBs. Also, assuming Gordon isn't suspended for the whole year, who would you drop to pick up a kicker?
1st Team
QB Ryan to me is middle of the road although his numbers should be better than last season with a healthy Julio..
RB's.. I like Lacy the best out of the bunch but not completely sold on him, myself.. Both ESPN and Yahoo fantasy leagues are expecting big things from him this year, but I think he just barely breaks 1000 yards. Martin could have a nice year if he stays healthy, but he's still way too unproven for me to take him as an early round RB.. For drafting 5th, you had much better choices left on the board in my opinion..
My guess is that you took Dez with your 2nd pick, which I think was a decent one, but what RB's were left on the board when you did? Depending on those RB's, that either helped your team or hurt it because your RB squad (aside from Lacy) is pretty pedestrian..
I do like your WR's though.. Dez is a beast and Roddy should really benefit from all the double teams that Julio is going to draw..
Gronk is a huge question mark right now and was probably chosen pretty high in your draft for a TE.. Huge gamble with his health. Could make or break you..
I'd drop one of those weaker RB's and go after a back up TE and set him on your bench for now.. Prepare for war during peace..
2nd Team
QB, RB's, WR's are looking good.. Should be better options at TE.. Drop one of those scrub WR's and go grab a back up TE if there's better options available.. Ertz is a sleeper, treat him like one just in case he doesn't wake up..
Who'd you take in the first round of your first league? Your second team to me looks way better, on paper at least.

Gio, Morris and Bush were about the only worthwhile RBs left when I took Dez. I'm not a big fan of Bush, and I tried to stray away from taking players I had in my 12 team league, which may have hurt me a little. I'll agree though, I'm not entirely happy with my RBs.
Agreed on both TEs. There's some good players left for both leagues. Heath Miller is available in both. Ladarius Green, Dwayne Allen, Fleener and Gates among other are available in one or both. Not superstar names, but I think enough to get me by.

Lacy.
I agree, I think part of that is due to the fact that 9 people in the league autopicked, and the other 2 were making really questionable decisions. Tom Brady in the 2nd round and Janikowski in the 9th were two of the oddest.
I think both teams look pretty solid.
