Second year doing fantasy football for me. Scoring is head to head points. Every TD worth 6, every 10 yards rushing/receiving 1 point, every 25 yards passing 1 point. 12 team league, picked 6th in a snake style draft.

Starters:
QB- Aaron Rodgers
RB- Deangelo Williams
RB- Justin Forsett
RB/WR- Reggie Bush
WR- Roddy White
WR- DeSean Jackson
TE- Jermichael Finley
D/ST- Giants
K- David Akers

Bench:
Robert Meachum, LT, Matt Stafford, Kenny Britt, Steve Breaston, Dustin Keller, Kevin Smith

RB is definitely my weakness, but there weren't a lot of options for my second starting RB. Hopefully either Forsett or Bush can establish themselves, and if need be I can put a receiver into the RB/WR position. Also, that isn't necessarily who my starters will be as I haven't looked over it to much, just the order they were put in on ESPN. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Not bad. What pick in the first did you take Rodgers. I adamantly think people are drafting him way to high this season, but if you had a really late rd 1 pick, it isnt as bad. The problem is it hurts your RBs so much as you found out when you pass on one early. Rodgers is the clear #1 QB, but the drop-off isnt that big between him and the next 3-4 QBs who you can nab as late as RD 3.

Overall not a bad team depending on how many teams and what pick you had.

6th pick in a 12 team league. First 5 picks were all RB's, and the ones that were left I wasn't very high on. I was the first to take a QB, and plus I had Rodgers last year.

I would have taken Johnson if the top 5 RBs were taken with your 1st round pick but thats just cause I share the same thoughts as Laley and I feel that if you can't get a top RB go get the top WR. Also I'd start Meachem or Britt at your flex spot. Probably Britt because him and Young really connected well those last 8 games of the season.

That's what I was thinking. Put Forsett on the bench, move Bush to the RB slot, and start either Britt or Meachum. Haven't decided which one though.

Should have gone with Johnson if you had the 6th pick, but that is a discussion for a different time.

I would definitely move Bush to RB2 (he is actually the starter right now I think, ahead of Pirerre Thomas) and have Forsett on the bench until further notice. I think Britt is the better Flex option.
