Andre Johnson as your top receiver in a PPR is A little weak. Who is the QB in Houston now?

I see 4 players on your team that should have been picked in the first or second round last year. What lame league are you in? Was it a keeper league?My money league has goofy rosters as well(2 QB's), and 6pt QB touchdowns. They started the league like 12 years ago and did it all by hand and that's just what they settled on and everyone likes it. It's fun. This was my 2ndconsecutive championship game last year.

I just explained, and you see there. 2 QB's and each QB TD is worth 6. So QB's always go first. Makes everything look weird. Plus it's only 8 teams so everyone is stacked unless they totally shit the bed. I think my first 3 picks(picked 3rd) were Manning, Graham, and maybe Russel Wilson. He ended up riding pine when I won the Nick Foles FA scramble.
It's very goofy and different from any other league I'm in, but it's also the most fun.
Yeah I have heard 50+ catches this year for AP which would put him right there with mccoy and company. I have 0 problem taking him #1 in a ppr format and will be going after him in my money league.

I didn't know that about AP. Makes my third round pick sound even better. We just started PPR this year in one of my consistent leagues and I think a lot of people missed out on that value. I ended up getting Reggie Bush, Pierre Thomas AND Darren Sproles. Add AP into the mix. I have some solid bye week plug-in players.

Andre Johnson should be fine. Fitzpatrick loves to throw. Not that he was my first WR pick anyway.. I think people forget he caught 109 balls last year...
My whole team.
PPR league. I had 7th pick..It's a 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 RB/WR/TE Flex, K, D roster
QB-C. Newton
QB-T. Romo
RB- Forte
RB-Doug Martin
RB-P. Thomas
RB-Devont Freeman
WR-AJ Green
WR- Andre Johnson
WR- Kenan Allen
WR- TY Hilton
WR- D. Amendola
TE-Julius Thomas
TE- Fleener
K-Vinatieri
D-49ers
D-Rams
Overall, I think I have a really solid team. I can flex P. Thomas or TY Hilton/Amendola when matchups are right. Can't believe Forte fell to me at 7.

I'm doing Fanduel this year in lieu of doing teams this year (first time in a decade). Dropped $200 on it and played a bunch of 1$ games for the first week. This site is pretty awesome.

I wouldn't waste bench slots on extra D/ST's or TE's. When bye weeks do roll around you will be able to find just as serviceable options as Fleener and Rams/Niners D on waivers. Should have used those bench slots to either take high upside RB/WR flyers or to handcuff your starters. I personally would have made sure to also get Rainy if I was drafting Martin.
I also don't believe in carrying 2 QB's for the same reason.
So that would be my constructive criticism for your team, but you are looking pretty solid. Forte at 7 is a great score.

That really is a coin-flip there. I will point out that Nelson and Jeffery have the same bye week. Some people like stacking bye weeks just basically conceding a game to have all their starters in the line-up the rest of the season, some people like to ensure the bye weeks are all spread out so they are never down more than one starter (or some people completely ignore bye weeks and deal with that issue later).
Do your keepers cost you draft picks? If so keep whichever one would cost you the lowest pick. If not, my gut says Bernard.

I immediately lean towards Gio Bernard. It'sreallyclose, but with the law firm gone you know Gio is going to get full #1 carries.
He's getting the generic FF RB bias here though. That's really the deciding factor. Jordyshouldhave a fantastic year. 1,400 yds ~9 TD. But receivers are volatile, #1 RBs are(in theory) reliable points.
Bernard is a pretty great receiver out of the backfield, I think that's what will make me lean his way in the end. I'd say he'll be good for ~1,150 rushing but he'll give you another ~550 receiving yards and should match/exceed the 9ish TD's I see Jordy getting.
