RBs
J. Charles is my favorite rb this year and I will take him first if he's available, the Chiefs do have a legit wr this year with Maclin but Smith is a dink and dunk qb and in ppr leagues Charles is gold. E Lacy is my second favorite rb, the loss of Nelson wil make Lacy even more important to GB's offense and he tends to stay healthy. Love a big rb in cold weather games and we will get plenty of those at Lambeau with Lacy this year. Third, how can you not love M. Lynch, another big back who will score plenty of tds and stay on the field. L. Bell is a stud as we all know but missing two games hurts his fantasy value, yes fantasy championships are won in December but you need to get to December and I like to get early wins under my belt. I am torn on AP, actually hope im not in a postion to have to draft him and I may kick myself for saying that but I just wish we would get a look at him in the preseason before assuming he is going to return to form from two years ago just because he has "fresh legs", again I may kick myself for that opinion but there are a handful of other rb's I am more comfortable with.
WRs
A. Brown goes without saying, a reception machine and that shouldn't change especially early in the season. I love Dez and Beckham both, if these guys are healthy there is no secondary in the NFC east (6 of there games) that can hold them down. Both guys torched the Skins last year and no secondary in the East is really that scary. Julio Jones is a guy I would grab early as well, don't think he was 100% last year and still gave us numbers, he may end up the #1 wr this year. A sleeper or maybe a guy who isn't in your top 15 or so wrs is D. Hopkins from Houston, 127 targets last year on a team with Johnson who had 147 targets. Targets will increase with the loss of Foster at the start of the season and Johnson now in Indy. He gets Tennessee twice, the team that he torched for 14 catches 2 tds and over 300 yds last year in two games, also a better qb this year.
QBs
Firm believer in not taking a qb early and will stick to this. I laugh at those who jump on Luck, Rodgers, Manning and Brees early. I have won b-2-b titles with Eli Manning (waiver pickup) and Matt Ryan as my qb. I will be more than happy to take either of those guys late again this year.
Te
What a down year this is for TE's. After Gronk and Graham choices are limited. I do like Olsen quite a bit especially with Benjamin done for the year, also like Bennett with Marshall out of Chicago. Sleeper for me is Delanie Walker, really think he can be Mariottas best option if hes healthy.
