Round - Player (Position)
1. Steven Jackson (RB)
2. Lamont Jordan (RB)
3. Reggie Wayne (WR)
4. Javon Walker (WR)
5. Donald Driver (WR)
6. Tatum Bell (RB)
7. Deangelo Williams (RB)
8. Joseph Addai (RB)
9. Eddie Kennison (WR)
10. Trent Green (QB)
11. Jake Plummer (QB)
12. Chris Cooley (TE)
13. Chad Jackson (WR)
14. Neil Rackers (K)
15. Washington (DEF)

QB = Trent Green is usually one of the best QBs, usually underrated too. It'll be interesting to see how losing Saunders effects KC, but he should still be good. Plummer is a good BACKUP. I wouldn't trust him to start but you picked a great backup.
QB GRADE = A

RB = I'm really high on S. Jackson, especially with Faulk not being around to steal 3rd-down plays from him. Lamont Jordan is not bad and if he's the best that was available...ok. Oakland as a team isn't dependable for fantasy purposes. They'll need Jordan to suceed though, since their QB situation is horrible. Tatum Bell could end up being better than Jordan, so he's a solid pick, especially in the 6th round. Addai is a big unknown. Williams is a good risk to take for a rookie RB. He should be better than Reggie Bush.
RB GRADE = B

WR = I actually think you have a GREAT group of WRs. Wayne is one of the best and could be better without a great running game in Indy, they may have to pass more. Walker is good and will outplay Lelie by far in Denver. Driver is good when healthy even though his team is bad. Kennison is a great 4th WR and you could probably use him as a #3. Chad Jackson is big, fast and plays for New England. They usually have too many WRs for anyone other than Branch to put up big numbers, but this could be a benefit for a rookie because he may see MORE looks since they spread the ball around so much. WR is the toughest position to get consistency. With RBs, you know they'll carry the ball and QBs handle the ball on every play, but WRs never know how many looks they'll get. There are very few WRs you can count on week-to-week and you found some of them. Good job.
WR GRADE = A

TE = Cooley is one who gets a LOT of looks in the red zone. We'll have to see how his production is affected by not being the 2nd-choice by Brunell this year, but he should be good. Spreading the field out so much by the Smurfs of 2006 might leave him wide open. Finding him so late in the draft is a steal though. I'm guessing all teams waited to get a TE with possibly Gates/Gonzales/McMichael being the usual exceptions.
TE GRADE = B

DEF = You have one of the best.
DEF GRADE = A

K = You have THE best fantasy kicker. If you haven't had Rackers before, you're in for a treat, especially if longer kicks count for more points.
K GRADE = A

OVERALL TEAM GRADE (GPA) = 3.67, A-

Without major injuries, you should have a great season.
