My team:

Nick Foles, Marshawn Lynch, Zac Stacy, Brandon Marshall, T.Y. Hilton, Cecil Shorts, Julius Thomas, James Jones, Panthers D, and Steven Hauschka.

Bench: Julian Edelman, Terrance Williams, Riley Cooper, DeAngelo Williams, Chris Ivory, Charles Clay, and Johnny Manziel.

Before I get ripped on taking Manziel, I plan on starting Foles every week. The play is in week 7 and the Browns play Jacksonville that week. If Hoyer is still the starter, I will drop him and pick up someone else. Manziel was my last pick. 

Thoughts? 

Who are the top three teams in your mind?

I didn't read every team to rank them for you, and I apologize.  I did, however, go over yours and there's a couple of things I would recommend early.  

I would drop Charles Clay.  If you want to have a second Tight End on your bench, get someone with crazy upside potential like Travis Kelce.  But I just wouldn't have a second TE on your bench.  Clay will be on the waiver wire in a 10-team when you want him.

Drop DeAngelo Williams.  The guy is old, unimpressive, and if Stewart stays healthy, he will likely have a huge chunk of his workload taken away.

With those two bench spots, grabbing a handcuff or two wouldn't be a terrible idea.  Skittles won't be invincible forever, and the only real person behind him is Christine Michael.  The Seahawks love to run the ball, so having his Handcuff (if available) is a great idea.  Benny Cunningham would be a decent pickup to backup Zac Stacy as well.  

Drop Johnny Manziel.  Just drop him.  That's a retarded pick.  He will be on the waiver wire, and even if he's not... What has he shown you in the preseason to even say that he will outperform someone like Carson Palmer or Josh McCown (who will also be available).  Pick up someone that I mentioned for your bi-week.  Otherwise don't have a QB on your bench in a 10-teamer.  

I would recommend swapping out week 1 defence for the other side of the ball actually.  The Bucs defence this year is a top 5 defence.  All they lack is a crazy pass rush, but against Carolina and their lack of receivers that's not an issue.  They have some great ball-hawks in the secondary and I recommend streaming defences anyways.  Bucs/Jets are both better picks in week 1 than Carolina (in my opinion).  

I don't think Cecil shorts is a WR3, BUT in week 1 I have no doubt he is against Philly.

All in all, mid-level team, not too good for a 10-team standard league in my opinion.  I wouldn't be surprised if you finished 5-7th.  Just my thoughts, I could be mistaken.

Cheers

Thanks Jimmus. We created a team with some cover members created by HookEmHorns22. Thanks for the ideas, I will take them into consideration. Top three place money, so I appreciate the feedback.
